Tirzepatide · What it helps
Appetite and food noise
GLP-1 and GIP receptors sit in the hypothalamus and the brainstem, the centres that decide when you are hungry and when you are done. Tirzepatide turns down the constant background pull toward food. People eat smaller meals, feel full sooner and stop thinking about the next snack. The quieter signal makes it far easier to eat to a plan.
