The GIP pathwayunique to tirzepatidedirectly enhances fat metabolism and energy expenditure
Longer breaks: restarting after 3 or 4 months If your break has stretched to restarting Wegovy after 3 months or more, the principle is broadly the same but the reset is likely to be more pronounced
Amazingly, the GLP-1 and GIP medications not only help lower blood sugar levels and thereby help control type 2 diabetes, but they have useful side effects such as improved lipid levels and lowering body weight

For tirzepatide and semaglutide, these periods ended in early-to-mid 2025
