Zepbound, the brand name for tirzepatide, works to promote weight loss through a dual-action mechanism. It mimics two naturally occurring hormones in the body, GLP-1 and GIP. This leads to increased insulin production, reduced glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar), and slowed stomach emptying. Ultimately, these effects help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and increase feelings of fullness, all of which contribute to weight loss.
