Understanding GLP-1, GIP, and GLP-3 Medications

More Than Magic

GLP medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by mimicking your body’s natural gut hormones. These hormones help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. When used with proper lab oversight, they become powerful tools for weight loss and long-term metabolic health.

Semaglutide (found in Wegovy and Ozempic) mimics the GLP-1 hormone. It slows down how fast your stomach empties, making you feel full longer. It also acts on the brain’s hunger centers to reduce appetite and helps regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin response and lowering glucagon. The result is fewer cravings, better blood sugar control, and steady fat loss.

Tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro and Zepbound) goes a step further. It targets both GLP-1 and GIP hormones. GIP enhances how your body handles fat and carbohydrates. Together, these dual actions significantly reduce appetite and improve fat metabolism, making Tirzepatide especially effective for people who have hit weight loss plateaus.

These treatments are ideal for people who have struggled to lose weight despite trying everything. They’re especially helpful for those with insulin resistance, metabolic slowdown, or hormone imbalances.

At Evolve, all lab work is done in-house. That means we don’t guess. We test. Results are ready within the hour. We monitor your liver, kidney, pancreas, and hormone function regularly. This ensures dosing stays safe and effective, and adjustments are made based on your unique biology.

Unlike most places, we don’t hand you medication and send you off. We built a complete medical program around GLP-1 and GIP therapies. One team. One clinic. One flat monthly price. No upsells. No outside labs. Just real oversight and real results.

Understanding How Hormones Regulate Fat Storage, Metabolism, and Aging

Your body is run by hormones. They’re not just “feelings” or monthly mood swings. They’re chemical messengers that tell your body what to do—when to burn fat, store it, build muscle, or slow everything down.

Let’s start with how your body burns fat.

Your fat cells are storage units. When your body needs energy, it breaks open those cells through a process called lipolysis. But this only happens when your hormones give the green light. Hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, thyroid hormones, growth hormone, and testosterone (in both men and women) all play a role. If those hormones are off balance, fat stays locked in place.

Insulin is one of the most powerful hormones when it comes to fat storage. Every time you eat, insulin rises. Its job is to shuttle nutrients into cells. But when insulin is constantly elevated—usually from too many processed carbs or constant snacking—your body gets the message: store fat, not burn it.

Cortisol, your stress hormone, also affects fat storage. When it’s chronically elevated, it encourages your body to store fat around your midsection. This is your body’s ancient survival signal saying: hold on to fuel. For men, this shows up as belly fat. For women, it’s often hips, thighs, or lower belly.

Now let’s talk thyroid. Your thyroid hormones control the speed of your metabolism. When they’re optimized, your body runs efficiently. You burn calories, maintain lean muscle, and feel energized. But when thyroid function slows, everything else does too—including fat metabolism.

Sex hormones matter more than you think. Testosterone helps both men and women build muscle, burn fat, and maintain energy. Estrogen regulates fat distribution, insulin sensitivity, and even appetite. As these hormones decline with age, your body becomes more prone to storing fat and less efficient at burning it.

Human growth hormone and its signals—like IGF-1—also drive fat metabolism. These hormones peak during deep sleep and after exercise. They help preserve muscle while signaling your body to break down fat for fuel. When they’re low, your body runs at a lower gear.

In short, your hormones are the command center. They decide what gets burned, what gets stored, and how your body looks and feels.

This is why at Evolve, we don’t guess. We test. We look at your entire hormone panel to see what’s working and what isn’t. Then we build a plan to restore your internal balance—so fat loss, energy, and function all come back online.

Because if your hormones aren’t working for you, they’re working against you.
