Retatrutide is a next-generation peptide therapy offering one of the most advanced approaches to weight management today. At IntegraMed Wellness, we provide expert medical guidance to help you benefit from this innovative treatment safely and effectively.
IntegraMed Wellness in Boynton Beach is proud to offer Retatrutide, an advanced weight loss injection that’s redefining what’s possible in obesity care.
Known as the “triple hormone” shot, Retatrutide has delivered impressive results in clinical studies, with patients losing an average of more than 20% of their body weight in under a year.
What makes it different? Retatrutide works on multiple pathways at once, helping reduce cravings, improve fat metabolism, and protect lean muscle mass, for a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to weight loss.
Retatrutide is a doctor-prescribed weight loss injection that represents a new class of obesity treatment. It’s often referred to as a “triple agonist” because it mimics three natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and metabolism. Specifically, Retatrutide activates the receptors for:
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1): a hormone that helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite by slowing down digestion.
GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide): an incretin hormone that works with GLP-1 to stimulate insulin release after meals and further curb hunger.
Glucagon: a hormone that normally raises blood sugar, but also plays a role in breaking down fat and boosting metabolism. Retatrutide’s unique triple action balances glucagon’s effects so that it accelerates fat burning without causing high blood sugar.
Retatrutide’s mechanism is all about that triple-hormone synergy. When you take Retatrutide, it binds to GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors in the brain and gut simultaneously. This combined action creates a powerful cascade of effects:
GLP-1 and GIP receptors send signals to your brain that increase satiety (fullness) and decrease hunger. Essentially, Retatrutide helps you feel full sooner and for longer after meals, making it much easier to eat less without feeling deprived. Patients often notice reduced cravings and snacking.
Those same hormones (GLP-1/GIP) slow down gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your stomach a bit longer. This steadies blood sugar spikes and prolongs fullness. You won’t get that “hungry an hour after eating” feeling as much.
he activation of glucagon receptors gives Retatrutide a unique fat-burning edge. Glucagon signals the liver to start breaking down stored fuel and can nudge your metabolism to run hotter.
In simple terms, Retatrutide gently increases your metabolic rate so that you burn more calories, even at rest. Your body becomes more efficient at using fat for energy instead of storing it.
By stimulating insulin (via GLP-1 and GIP) while moderating glucagon’s blood sugar effects, Retatrutide helps keep blood glucose levels in check.
This is similar to what drugs like semaglutide do for diabetics. For someone with prediabetes or metabolic syndrome, this means better blood sugar control while losing weight – a win-win for health.
Retatrutide is quickly becoming known as one of the most advanced options for medical weight loss. Here are some key benefits and features that set it apart:
Retatrutide is not something you can buy off the shelf at a local pharmacy or supplement store, it requires a prescription and medical oversight. The safest and most legitimate way to obtain Retatrutide is through a licensed medical provider.
At IntegraMed Wellness in Boynton Beach, we offer Retatrutide as part of our personalized Medical Weight Loss programs. Because Retatrutide is a regulated medication, it is not available for direct purchase or shipment.
All treatments are prescribed and administered under the supervision of a medical professional to ensure safety and proper dosage.

Yes – Tesamorelin and Retatrutide can be combined in a comprehensive weight loss or body-composition program, but only under medical supervision. In fact, this pairing is considered a promising “fat loss stack” in advanced wellness circles. The two medications work through different mechanisms, so they can complement each other’s effects.
By combining them, you’re attacking fat from two angles: Retatrutide helps you eat less and burn more calories, while Tesamorelin helps target stubborn abdominal fat and prevent muscle loss during dieting. This can result in a more pronounced body recomposition – i.e., losing fat while maintaining or even building muscle. Many medical weight loss specialists do pair a GLP-1 agonist (like Retatrutide) with a growth hormone secretagogue (like Tesamorelin) for patients who need aggressive results.
However, it’s crucial that such combinations are done with professional guidance.
No, Retatrutide itself is not known to directly cause hair loss as a side effect. In clinical trials so far, the common side effects reported have been things like nausea, digestive upset, or mild injection site reactions – hair loss hasn’t been identified as a direct issue. However, it’s important to understand the context: significant weight loss from any method (diet, surgery, or powerful medications like GLP-1 agonists) can sometimes lead to temporary hair thinning.
The appropriate dosage can only be determined after a thorough medical evaluation by one of our healthcare professionals.
Each patient’s plan is personalized based on their health status, goals, and response to treatment to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

If you are switching from tirzepatide (Mounjaro) to Retatrutide, you might be wondering how soon you’ll notice differences. In general, Retatrutide’s effects should “kick in” within a few weeks of consistent weekly injections. Many patients report noticeable changes by about 4–8 weeks into treatment.
This can include reduced appetite, some weight reduction, and possibly improvements in energy or blood sugar. The most significant results (major fat loss, body composition changes) tend to build up over time – often becoming very evident after 6 to 12 months of therapy.
When transitioning from tirzepatide, Retatrutide’s triple-receptor action may actually lead to faster or more pronounced weight loss compared to tirzepatide’s dual action. Both drugs are dosed once weekly and have similar half-lives (Retatrutide’s is ~6 days vs. ~5 days for tirzepatide), so there isn’t a big delay in drug activity.
In practice, you shouldn’t experience a significant gap in effectiveness when switching. In fact, some patients feel Retatrutide helps them break past a plateau that they hit on tirzepatide. Remember, though, every individual is different – some people respond sooner, while others see steady progress that accelerates later.
The key is to stick with the weekly injections and follow the dose escalation schedule your doctor provides. By the 4th week you’ll likely notice your appetite is much less than before. By 8–12 weeks, measurable weight loss should be underway (if not sooner). And beyond that, Retatrutide can really shine in delivering continued fat loss for many months.
Patience and consistency will yield the best results. Our IntegraMed team will support you through the adjustment period so we can optimize your plan if needed.
