Weight Loss

Peptide medications for weight loss mimic natural hormones in your body. They work to boost metabolism, reduce appetite, regulate blood sugar levels, and enhance fat loss. Peptides such as GLP-1 (Ozempic, Semaglutide) & GLP-1+GIP (Mounjaro® / Tirzepatide) help to slow the digestion of food in the gut so you feel fuller for longer. 

These medications are intended for individuals who are over-weight with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater, which is approximately 20 lbs. over ideal body weight. It is crucial while taking peptides for weight loss to have a diet that is high in protein intake, balanced with healthy fat and carbohydrates that are unprocessed and follow a whole foods diet. 

Patients will need a prescription to take these medications. A health care provider will perform a physical evaluation along with comprehensive bloodwork to determine if you’re a good candidate.
