Medical weight loss
Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved injectable medication that acts on two appetite and blood sugar hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, so you feel full sooner and hungry less often. At Radiance East Bay Aesthetics in Pleasanton, Zayda Yeoh, NP, prescribes it as one part of a medical weight loss plan that also covers nutrition, metabolic support and regular check-ins. Some people notice a change within weeks; the strongest results come after months of consistent use alongside changes to how you eat and move.
Tirzepatide mimics two hormones your body already makes. GLP-1 and GIP both help regulate blood sugar, appetite and metabolism. By acting on both at once, tirzepatide reduces hunger, increases the feeling of fullness after a meal and improves how your body handles glucose, which supports fat loss while helping you hold on to muscle.
It is the dual action that sets tirzepatide apart from earlier weight loss medications, which act on GLP-1 alone. Tirzepatide is given by injection, so there is no surgery and no recovery time.
Medication on its own rarely fixes the reasons weight was hard to lose. At Radiance East Bay Aesthetics, tirzepatide sits inside a medical weight loss programme that also includes:

The appointment
Zayda reviews your health history, weight history, current medications and goals, and orders labs where they are needed. You leave knowing whether tirzepatide is the right tool for you, or whether another approach fits better.
The dose starts low and is tailored to you.
Injections are self-administered at home, on your schedule, so treatment does not depend on an appointment.
Zayda monitors progress at regular visits and adjusts the dose as your body responds.
Some patients notice a change in appetite within the first weeks. Meaningful, lasting weight loss builds over months of consistent use. Stopping the medication can lead to regain, so the plan includes what happens after the goal is reached.
Candidacy
You are likely a good candidate if you:
Not everyone is a candidate for medication, and that is fine. Zayda will say so at the consultation and offer the nutrition and lifestyle route instead.
Cost
The cost depends on your dose, which rises gradually over the first months, on how long you stay on the medication, and on which parts of the programme you use: labs, nutrition visits and supplements. Zayda gives you the full cost at the consultation, before any prescription is written. Payment plans are available.

Tirzepatide acts on two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 alone. Both reduce appetite and support weight loss; the dual action is what distinguishes tirzepatide.
Some people notice less hunger within the first few weeks. Weight loss builds gradually over months, because the dose starts low and rises step by step, and because lasting results depend on the eating and activity changes made alongside it.
Stopping tirzepatide can lead to weight regain, which is why the plan at Radiance East Bay Aesthetics does not end at the goal weight. Nutrition, metabolic support and the habits built during treatment are what hold the result once the medication stops.
Most patients describe the injection as painless. It uses a very fine needle, takes a few seconds and is done at home, so there is no appointment to keep for each dose.
