Peptide and Amino Acid Therapy
Peptides for weight loss can be highly beneficial because they support the body’s natural ability to burn fat, build lean muscle, and regulate metabolism. Certain peptides, such as GLP-1 agonists, help control appetite and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to reduced calorie intake and more efficient fat utilization. Others, like growth hormone-releasing peptides, promote better energy levels, recovery, and muscle retention during fat loss. By targeting specific biological pathways, peptide therapy offers a more personalized and sustainable approach to weight management compared to traditional diets or stimulant-based supplements.

WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT?
1. Age
-
At 30 there is a natural gradual decline in lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass utilizes more calories.
-
After 40, typically there is a lack of activity level generally decreases which means you are not burning enough calories.
-
Hormonal changes occur.
-
For women, after menopause there is a significant drop in estrogen that encourages extra pounds to settle around the belly.
-
Men, experience a drop in testosterone around the age of 40.
-
Both leading to a shift in fat distribution
-
Growth Hormone (GH) begins to decrease as well. This helps the body maintain muscle mass and repair.
-
your metabolism (thyroid) slows down (this converts your calories into energy). Increased stress can increase levels of the hormone ghrelin or leptin, which makes you hungrier.
2. You are under chronic stress
-
Cortisol plays important roles in the body. It regulates stress, the inflammation, and immune response. Elevated cortisol levels can be caused a variety of issues such as acute or chronic stress, overactivity or issues with the pituitary or adrenal glands, or medication side effects (i.e. prednisone).
-
Chronic stress may also lead to the following: Low testosterone and increased aromatase/ estrogen levels,, Decreased T4 to T3 conversion, (leading to a state of thyroid resistance
3. You are eating less
-
We all get busy with life. We often do not make time to prepare healthy balanced meals.
-
There are many diets out there but the most important thing to remember is everything is good in moderation. Extreme dieting or chronic calorie restriction can lead to metabolic damage which lowers your metabolic rate. Your body will naturally conserve energy by reducing the number of calories you burn and store fat because it thinks it is not going to get anything nutrients.
4. You are not getting enough sleep
-
GH is your repair hormone and is most active at night. When you eat a meal later in the evening you are stimulating your metabolism when it should be slowing down. Intermittent fasting is good as it gives your body a chance to rest.
