Lose weight.
Keep it off.
Physician-prescribed semaglutide and tirzepatide in Austin, TX — personalized weight loss programs designed around your biology, your labs, and your life.
"These aren't crash diets or willpower games. GLP-1 medications work with your body's own hunger and metabolism signaling — making sustainable weight loss finally feel achievable."
Dr. Karen Stierman, MD · Medical Director, blür GLP-1 TherapyWeight loss that works
with your biology —
not against it.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonist medications — a class of drugs that mimic hormones your body already produces to regulate hunger, slow digestion, and manage blood sugar. When these signals are optimized, losing weight stops feeling like a fight.
Unlike fad diets or appetite suppressants that force restriction, GLP-1 medications recalibrate your hunger and satiety signals at the hormonal level. You eat less because you're genuinely less hungry — not because you're suffering through it.
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide.
Understanding your options.
Both are physician-prescribed GLP-1 medications with remarkable clinical results. The right choice depends on your goals, health history, and how your body responds — which is exactly what your consultation with Dr. Stierman is for.
Semaglutide
Known as: Ozempic® · Wegovy®
Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist that has transformed the weight loss landscape. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain and gut, it reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and stabilizes blood sugar — creating a sustained caloric deficit without the misery of traditional dieting. Clinical trials showed an average weight loss of 15–17% of body weight over 68 weeks.
Tirzepatide
Known as: Mounjaro® · Zepbound®
Tirzepatide is the next generation of GLP-1 therapy — a dual agonist that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors simultaneously. This dual mechanism delivers superior appetite suppression, stronger metabolic effects, and greater average weight loss than semaglutide alone. Clinical trials demonstrated an average reduction of 20–22% of body weight — making it one of the most effective weight loss medications ever studied.
Not sure which is right for you? That's exactly what your consultation is for. Dr. Stierman reviews your health history, bloodwork, and goals to recommend the medication and dose that fits you — not a protocol built for someone else.
More than the
number on the scale.
Meaningful Fat Loss
Significant, clinically demonstrated body weight reduction — targeting visceral and abdominal fat, which carries the highest metabolic risk.
Reduced Hunger + Cravings
Appetite regulation happens at the hormonal level — not willpower. Most patients report that food noise quiets significantly within the first few weeks.
Improved Metabolic Health
Better blood sugar control, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammation — benefits that extend well beyond weight loss alone.
Cardiovascular Protection
Studies show GLP-1 medications reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events — an increasingly important benefit recognized by leading cardiologists.
Sustained Energy
Unlike crash diets that leave you depleted, patients on GLP-1 therapy typically report stable energy levels as their metabolic health improves.
Long-Term Results
With physician guidance, lifestyle integration, and ongoing monitoring, GLP-1 therapy at blür is designed for lasting change — not a reset button.
What working
with blür
actually looks like.
No waiting rooms. No guesswork. No one-size protocol handed over without a plan. This is what physician-led weight loss looks like when done right.
Your first appointment is a real conversation with Dr. Stierman. We review your health history, goals, and any previous weight loss attempts — and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is the right fit for you. No pressure. No sales pitch.
Baseline bloodwork gives us a complete metabolic picture — thyroid function, insulin levels, lipid panel, and more. This informs your medication choice, starting dose, and any contraindications we need to know about before we prescribe.
Based on your labs and consultation, Dr. Stierman prescribes semaglutide or tirzepatide at the dose right for your body — with a clear titration schedule so side effects stay minimal and results stay consistent.
We don't prescribe and disappear. Regular check-ins track your progress, adjust your dose as needed, and monitor your bloodwork over time. Dr. Stierman adjusts your protocol as you evolve — you have a clinical partner at every stage.
As your body changes, so does your protocol. We think beyond the scale — considering peptide support, metabolic health, and body composition as part of a complete, long-term picture. Weight loss is a chapter, not a destination.
