How Peptide Weight Loss Works

Sometimes, you’re not losing weight because of an aspect of your body’s weight loss processes, rather than you not putting in the work. Whether it’s the fact that you overeat, your blood sugar is fluctuating dramatically, your metabolism isn’t working efficiently, or your energy is low, peptides can address these concerns and get your body running in a mode more conducive to weight loss.

Understand the process you can expect to go through with this approach and how the actual treatment works so you can make an informed decision if it’s in your best interest.

The Process You Can Expect

When you start the process, expect to have an initial consultation and to return for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as necessary. Keep in mind that the process varies slightly based on the peptide you’re using. Some require more extensive monitoring than others, and the consultation may be more extensive

01.

The Consultation

Before approving you for treatment, you’ll need to undergo a consultation that covers all the basics and then some to select the right peptide (or peptides) to help you achieve weight loss. We’ll assess your body mass index (BMI) to see the difference between your height and weight. Part of this visit also involves reviewing your medical history, asking questions about your diet and lifestyle, and discussing your goals. Different peptides will promote different amounts of weight loss.

Afterward, we may order bloodwork to gain an overview of your overall health, identify possible hormonal deficiencies, and assess markers that affect your metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Based on the results, we’ll customize a treatment plan that’s safe and has the potential to assist you in overcoming any barriers that are interfering with you losing weight.

02.

Receiving Your Treatment

The next step is receiving your treatment, which often consists of you taking an injectable peptide treatment regularly. Especially for the options that require daily or multiple treatments per week, we’ll ask how you feel about self-administering. Before leaving the office, you’ll learn everything you need to administer the treatment, including the proper technique, application sites, frequency, and more. Please ask us any questions you have at this appointment.

03.

Follow-Up Appointments

How frequently you have follow-ups and what happens at them all depends on the peptide(s) you’re taking. Some need more frequent and extensive monitoring than others. You may need to undergo bloodwork, for instance, to evaluate your liver function and determine your levels of a specific hormone. For others, you’ll need to come in so we can assess how well the treatment is working and renew your prescription. We’ll discuss all the specifics during your consultation, providing you with as much information as possible to make the right decision for you.

How the Treatment Works

The specific treatment you receive works in a manner that depends on the one given to you. Primarily, the peptides we prescribe are given via a subcutaneous injection, meaning they’re administered under the skin, usually in the abdomen or thigh. It slowly enters the bloodstream and then circulates throughout the body, sometimes traveling to where it’s necessary and other times binding to specific receptors in a precise location.

Then, the peptide may trigger the body to produce a certain hormone, stimulate fat burning by promoting the breakdown of fat cells, or regulate your appetite by activating receptors in the brain. Sometimes, the peptide may slow gastric emptying, allowing you to feel full for longer or keeping your blood sugar more stable, thereby preventing sharp spikes and drops in glucose levels.

In addition to the peptide, you may need to make lifestyle changes to see optimal results from your treatment plan. This includes engaging in regular exercise and maintaining a well-balanced diet. We understand how difficult that can be for a person and are here to help you find solutions that you can incorporate into your life long-term, rather than merely for a few months just to lose weight and regain it.

Your Options

A peptide weight loss plan should be tailored to your specific needs to provide you with the most benefit. Some are too powerful and may stimulate more weight loss than is safe, while others might not provide adequate results if you’re looking to lose 30 pounds or more. In some cases, you may need a combination therapy to achieve your desired results. These are some of the options we offer our clients:

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is the weight loss peptide that most people are familiar with. It’s a GLP-1 commonly advertised for its ability to help with weight loss and diabetes.
This isn’t your typical peptide for weight loss, as it goes beyond simply increasing your metabolism and enhancing your ability to burn fat. It also regulates your appetite, helps you feel full for longer, stabilizes your blood sugar levels, and reduces cravings. It’ll target both the brain and the GI tract to supply results.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide acts as both a gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), making it a dual-action agent for weight loss that utilizes a single active ingredient. Both of these mechanisms work together to reduce your appetite, curb your cravings, and encourage your body to burn fat. Studies suggest tirzepatide helps people lose more weight on average than semaglutide.

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a peptide that mimics the effects of growth hormone-releasing hormone, a chemical messenger that stimulates the body to produce more growth hormone, encouraging fat breakdown, improving metabolism, and supporting lean muscle composition. It’s ideal for individuals aged 30 or older who are starting to produce less growth hormone due to age.

Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin

This is a combination of peptides that are used simultaneously to increase how much growth hormone you produce, which will assist you with your metabolism and body composition so you can achieve a leaner physique.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

This is a combination of synthetic peptides that act as growth hormone-releasing peptides, increasing your growth hormone levels. As a result, your fat metabolism improves, allowing you to build and maintain lean muscle more effectively, and you may experience increased energy for exercise.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a peptide that works similarly to growth hormone-releasing hormone, stimulating growth hormone production. As a result, this peptide will support your metabolism, potentially increase your energy levels, and improve your body composition.

Qualifying for Peptide Weight Loss

If you only need to lose five or 10 pounds, peptide weight loss might not be the best option for you. The ones who qualify for assistance with losing weight through this method usually meet the following conditions:

Need to Lose More Than Five or 10 Pounds

Though how much weight loss you’ll experience has to do with the peptide you’re taking, weight loss using a peptide is ideal for people who need to lose more than a little bit of weight. Some of the available options help clients lose 20 percent of their body weight.

Have Not Had Luck With Diet and Exercise Alone

Not everyone will see results with diet and exercise alone. Often, other factors are at play, such as emotional eating, not using portion control, a desire to finish your plate, or metabolic or hormonal issues that are beyond your control. Through a peptide treatment, you can overcome the hurdles that are making it difficult for you to lose.

Have Realistic Expectations and Be Willing to Put in the Work

The results vary depending on the peptide used. Some cause more significant results than others. That said, some also require you to put in the effort of eating better and exercising regularly. At your consultation, we’ll review all this to help you find the option that’ll provide you with the most potential.

Aren’t Pregnant or Breastfeeding

You can begin trying to lose weight after you’re done breastfeeding or are no longer pregnant. Studies haven’t shown whether peptides are safe for expectant or nursing mothers and their infants.

The outcome you can expect depends entirely on the peptide you receive, the lifestyle changes you make, the amount of weight you need to lose, and your response to the peptide. In some cases, you may notice an improvement in your energy level within the first few weeks. Often, in the first month, you’ll see weight loss that will only continue over time. Some people experience weight loss and muscle growth six months or longer after starting treatment.

FAQs

Yes, certain peptides can help you lose weight by reducing your appetite, regulating your hunger, supporting your appetite, or assisting with muscle building

There isn’t a best peptide for weight loss. It all depends on your needs and situation. Tirzepatide is one that’s known to cause the most amount of weight loss.

Tirzepatide is similar to Ozempic (semaglutide), but it works using two mechanisms of action rather than just one.

Sermorelin and tesamorelin are two that are known to help break down fat cells, especially in the abdominal region. Though they aren’t specifically geared toward belly fat, both semaglutide and tirzepatide can help you lose weight in your midsection.

No, Tesamorelin and Ozempic (semaglutide) aren’t the same. They’re both peptides that help with weight loss, but they’re in different classes and have different benefits.
