Well + Being Program

Your guide to improved metabolic health

Restoration Room’s Well + Being Program seeks to improve your metabolic health through lifestyle modifications – including nutrition, exercise, sleep quality, stress management and metabolic health education.  

These efforts are supplemented by tirzepatide, a medication that has been shown to improve markers of metabolic health as well as promote weight loss.

Medication

Tirzepatide is an agonist to glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors.

It works on multiple parts of the body by several mechanisms to enhance insulin secretion & sensitivity, reduce glucagon secretion, delay gastric emptying and increase satiety.  

These actions combine to stabilize glucose and reduce caloric intake.  Over time, these effects can lead to improvement in numerous biometrics – including glucose, insulin, cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation, waist circumference and weight.  

Improving these biometrics can lead to improved physical function, cellular health, heart & liver health, overall wellness and longevity.
