Weight Loss Using GLP-1 Peptide Medications 

Our modern food supply has evolved to hook you into eating processed unhealthy foods. Layer onto that a sedentary lifestyle, poor and inadequate sleep, hormone imbalances, and chronic stress like never before - its no secret why so people struggle with weight gain.

Fortunately, modern medicine has developed GLP-1 peptide medications that have revolutionized the way we support people wanting to lose weight. In fact, GLP1’s have dramatically evened the playing field, so to speak, as they help suppress “food chatter” and allow people to say “no” to certain foods, and/or certain times of eating (e.g. late night snacking).

Often I like to start with a micro-dose of a GLP-1 for not only it’s appetite suppressing effect, but also it’s anti-inflammatory effect. Side effects like nausea and constipation are very rare with microdoses. Tirzepatide has become my GLP-1 drug of choice, as it seems to perform better than Semaglutude with fewer side effects. To minimize muscle loss it’s very important to make sure protein consumption is adequate, and resistance training is prioritized.
