Weight loss medication explained

How does incretin-based therapy work?

Incretins are natural hormones released after meal that not only promote blood glucose regulation but promote satiety and delay gastric motility that would promote hunger.

What incretin-based therapy does Heracles offer?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a once-weekly GLP-1 agonist that helps curb appetite, slows stomach emptying, and supports post-meal glucose control. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is once-weekly dual-action (GIP + GLP-1), engaging two incretin pathways for added effects on fullness and glucose regulation. Both are prescription treatments used alongside diet and exercise, typically with gradual dose increases.

What changes will I see and by when?

Incretin based therapy works progressively, with benefits that build week by week. Here's how the transformation typically unfolds:

Weeks 2-4

Boost your energy and stamina. Crashes start to fade. Expect more steady, lasting energy that powers your training, recovery, and day-to-day life.

Clear your head, keep focus sharp. As blood sugar stabilises and inflammation lowers, many men report improved mental clarity, less fog, and sharper thinking.

Weeks 4-8

Build back confidence and control. Feel more in control of how you look, move, and perform–at work, in the gym, and in your clothes.

Weeks 8-12

Burn fat, preserve strength. Visible fat loss begins–especially around the midsection—while lean muscle is maintained. Your body starts to feel lighter, stronger, and more capable.

Months 3-6

Transform your health from the inside out. Blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation markers improve. Cravings reduce. Long-term risk for conditions like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome drops—without crash dieting or burnout.

How does incretin-based therapy weight loss treatment work?

Cuts through cravings and stress-eating

Mounjaro targets two key hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that regulate appetite and satiety so you feel fuller, sooner, and for longer. Wegovy works on the GLP-1 pathway to curb appetite and slow gastric emptying with the same goal in mind. Both can help quiet the constant food thoughts and stress-driven eating, making it easier to stick to healthier habits without relying solely on willpower. You’re no longer fighting cravings every hour; you have the space to focus on your goals.

Supports visible fat loss (the kind that matters)

Both Mounjaro and Wegovy target deep visceral fat—the type around your organs that silently drives heart disease and insulin resistance. As weight drops from your midsection, your metabolism improves, energy rises, and you protect long-term strength and resilience. For busy men, it’s a smarter way to stay sharp, mobile, and capable.

Helps you regain control and confidence

When life’s demands push your wellbeing to the bottom of the list, progress can feel impossible. Mounjaro helps break that cycle, delivering results that build momentum. As your weight and health improve, you feel more present, confident, and like your real self–not just looking better, but showing up stronger for those who count on you.

Men’s health is broken. We’re here to fix it.

Prof. Suks Minhas

MD FRCS Urol

"As a Consultant Urologist and Andrologist, my mission is to provide world-class, evidence-based care across the full spectrum of men’s health—encompassing sexual function, fertility, low testosterone, hormonal health, and urological wellbeing. Every man deserves access to expert, compassionate care regardless of background, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Equitable healthcare is not just an ideal—it is a responsibility."

DR. Ian Gallen

Endocrinologist & Medicine Advisor

"In the UK, we know that men are disproportionately less likely to seek medical help for various reasons, not least when it comes to conditions that may seem to carry a stigma. Heracles wants to break that cycle not just through treatment, but by equipping men with the knowledge and confidence to own their health and to thrive inside out."

Dr. Richie Kirwan

PhD Nutritionist

"Our modern food environment, our activity levels and the way we live our lives simply do not lead us towards health. My goal at Heracles is to help educate and guide men towards healthier food, movement and lifestyle habits that will lead them to the state of optimal health and function that they deserve, and that will help them live a longer, healthier, more fulfilling life."

FAQs & Common Concerns

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) can lead to weight loss around 15–20% of baseline body weight when used at the highest dose. Those starting on lower doses typically see a more gradual weight reduction—your doctor will advise what’s best for you to begin with and how to adjust for continued weight loss.
Wegovy (semaglutide) typically leads to weight loss of around 10–15% of baseline body weight at maintenance dose when combined with lifestyle changes. Individual results vary; your doctor will guide dose increases to support steady, sustainable loss.
Like most weight-loss medications, stopping Mounjaro (tirzepatide) often leads to some weight regain. Evidence suggests that patients regained about half the lost weight within a year of stopping treatment. This is not unique to tirzepatide—a similar rebound is seen after stopping semaglutide (Wegovy) or even post-bariatric surgery without lifestyle follow-up. Here at Heracles, you will get access to nutrition education and lifestyle advice to support tirzepatide treatment so that you can achieve both initial weight loss and adopt it as a root-cause health and longevity strategy.
Like most weight-loss medications, stopping Wegovy (semaglutide) often leads to some weight regain. Studies show partial regain after discontinuation. At Heracles, we pair medication with nutrition, exercise, and mindset support to help you maintain results long-term.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is taken once a week using a simple prefilled injection pen. You start at a low dose (usually 2.5 mg) for the first 4 weeks to minimise side effects, then gradually increase to a maintenance dose (up to 15 mg), as directed by your doctor. Injections are given subcutaneously in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm, and can be done at any time of day, with or without food. Pens should be stored in the fridge before use, and once opened, can be kept at room temperature for up to 21–30 days depending on the manufacturer’s guidance.
Wegovy (semaglutide) is taken once weekly using a prefilled injection pen. You start at a low dose (typically 0.25 mg) to minimise side effects, then increase gradually up to 2.4 mg as directed by your doctor. Injections are given subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, any time of day, with or without food.
Yes, you need to see a doctor to be prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy—whether for weight loss or type 2 diabetes. It's a prescription-only medication that requires medical supervision for safe and effective use.
In order to qualify for Mounjaro treatment at Heracles, you must have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher, or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher and at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia).
To qualify for Wegovy at Heracles, you’ll generally need a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m², or ≥ 27 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidaemia). Our clinicians assess overall metabolic health and risks as part of a personalised plan.
You can add an optional blood test which we highly recommend for a thorough assessment of your case. Not only does it help ensure the medication is safe, appropriate, and effective for you, but it also serves as a benchmark for weight-loss progress and its effects on multiple systems within the body.

Our blood test includes:

  • Lipids (cholesterol)
  • HbA1c
  • TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
  • FT4 (free thyroxine)
  • Liver function
  • Kidney function
Mounjaro and Wegovy are generally considered safe and well-tolerated when used under medical supervision. However, like any medical weight-loss therapy, it comes with risks and side effects that must be balanced against the benefits.
