Town & Country Compounding Compounds the Highest Quality GLP-1 Medications (Semaglutide/Tirzepatide) during the Nationwide Shortage.
The impact of obesity is extensive, with over 100 million Americans and 1 billion people worldwide grappling with this condition.
In the global conversation about obesity, fat shaming has emerged as a particularly insidious form of discrimination. It perpetuates a vicious cycle where individuals, stigmatized for their weight, find themselves in a continuous struggle with obesity, often leading to further emotional and physical health issues.
Fat shaming is more than just a social or emotional issue; it’s a health issue that perpetuates the cycle of obesity
The introduction of GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound®, has been a game-changer in the fight against obesity.
By targeting the biological aspect of the disease, these medications reduce cravings and facilitate the adoption of healthier, sustainable lifestyles.
Recently, these medications have been marred by accessibility issues because the manufacturers have been unable to keep up with demand.
It’s not your lack of effort, it’s your biology
The recent Oprah weight-loss special brought the issue of fat shaming to light, showcasing the real difficulties people with obesity face in their attempts to lose weight. Despite their best efforts, many find themselves caught in a relentless cycle of weight gain and loss, primarily due to the oversight of a crucial factor: biology.
Recognizing the biological underpinnings of obesity, Weight Watchers admitted that their program had failed to account for this aspect and subsequently incorporated GLP-1 medications (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) into their weight loss strategies. This marked a significant shift in the approach to weight management, acknowledging obesity as a chronic disease — a classification made over a decade ago but only recently being referred to as such.

Town & Country Compounding offers options to prescribers and patients when commercial medications are in short supply
Compounding pharmacies have made strides in making GLP-1 medications more accessible during this time of backorders and shortages of the commercially available products. Also, for people who are afraid of needles, there are options available such as sublingual drops which also aid with easier changes in dosing. Such efforts are crucial, as they provide hope for those who have been unable to get GLP-1 injection prescriptions due to the nationwide shortages.
