What is Zepbound®?

Zepbound® (tirzepatide) is a dual-action GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that mimics hormones your body naturally produces to regulate hunger and blood sugar. By helping you feel full longer and reducing cravings, Zepbound® can support sustainable lifestyle changes, not just temporary fixes.

At Premier MedSpa, Dr. Chakeer offers Zepbound® as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised weight loss program that prioritizes your health and safety.

Zepbound® is intended for adults. It may be right for you if you have:

• A BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or
• A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Dr. Chakeer performs a full evaluation, including labs and a medical history review, to determine if Zepbound® is safe and appropriate for you. If eligible, you’ll receive personalized dosage instructions and ongoing support throughout your treatment.

How does Zepbound® support weight loss?

Zepbound® supports your body’s natural ability to manage weight in several ways:

• Slows digestion to increase feelings of fullness
• Reduces appetite and food cravings
• Enhances insulin sensitivity and improves blood sugar control

When paired with lifestyle changes like improved nutrition and regular movement and check-ins with Premier MedSpa, many patients begin to see progress within weeks.

What can I expect during treatment?

Zepbound® is taken once weekly through a simple self-injection. During your initial visit, Dr. Chakeer provides step-by-step guidance so you feel confident administering the treatment at home. You’ll also have regular check-ins—either in person or via telehealth—to monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments.

Mild side effects, such as nausea or bloating, are common at the start but typically ease with time. Dr. Chakeer will work closely with you to manage symptoms and keep you on track.

Why choose Zepbound® at Premier MedSpa?

At Premier MedSpa, your treatment doesn’t stop with a prescription. Dr. Chakeer and her team may recommend complementary services, such as nutrition counseling, hormone optimization, or body contouring, to enhance your results and help you feel your best inside and out.
