The brake on hunger.
Tirzepatide mimics GLP-1, the incretin hormone that governs how full you feel and how your body handles glucose after a meal.
- Slowing gastric emptying — food leaves the stomach more slowly, so fullness lasts longer.
- Signaling satiety — appetite centers in the brain quiet the constant "food noise" and cravings.
- Regulating blood sugar — the pancreas releases insulin only when blood sugar is elevated.
