2/7/2024

Embarking on a weight loss journey can be transformative and life changing, but it can be difficult to know exactly where to begin. On a daily basis, we are inundated with media that tells us which foods to eat and which avoid, which exercises will get us a six pack in six days, and some pretty skeptical methods for getting your dream body in record time! Each new article or post seems to contradict the last, so it's no wonder why people can feel frustrated and demotivated to take that first step toward losing weight.

We have all seen the news about the recent medical advancements in weight loss, and which of our favorite celebrities have transformed their bodies seemingly overnight. Unlike the tornado of traditional media disinformation, the medical community is seeing real, measurable and incredible results for their patients who have started on medical weight loss, and more specifically: peptide therapy.

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy harnesses the power of medically-managed peptides—short chains of amino acids—to target specific physiological pathways. In the context of weight loss, these peptides play a pivotal role in regulating metabolism, controlling appetite, and promoting fat loss.

In this blog post, we will explore the crucial importance of peptide therapy for weight loss, shedding light on its effectiveness, and emphasizing the significance of choosing a specialized doctor for personalized guidance. Our practice, located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, stands as the leading provider in the New England area, led by Dr. Thiesen who specializes in peptide therapy for weight loss.

Our Preferred Peptides: GLP-1RA Agonists:

Our practice employs glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1RA) agonists as the preferred peptide for weight loss. These peptides not only aid in appetite regulation, but also support the optimization of metabolic processes, contributing to sustainable and long-term weight loss results.

GLP-1, an incretin hormone, is naturally produced in our digestive tract following a meal. Its role involves promoting a sense of fullness post-meal, while also contributing to the stabilization of blood sugar levels. However, natural GLP-1 has a relatively short lifespan in the body, leading to the common experience of hunger resurfacing a few hours after eating.

GLP-1RA agonists are a helpful tool for mimicking your bodies natural processes in a way that promotes satiety and encourages healthier behaviors around food. 

Choosing the Right Provider:

As mentioned before, weight loss advice is everywhere, and in the digital age it can be almost impossible to know if the source of information is legitimate and trustworthy. Before embarking on any medical weight loss journey, it's crucial to research and select a doctor who specializes in this field. Dr. Thiesen, our expert practitioner, brings unparalleled expertise to ensure a safe, effective, and personalized weight loss experience tailored to each of his patient's individual needs.

After your initial consultation, Dr. Thiesen will work with you to develop a custom treatment plan, and determine the proper weight loss modality based on your medical needs and aesthetic goals. (Ready to move forward? Contact us to schedule your FREE weight loss consultation).

Consistent Management and Monitoring:

Though the results of medical weight loss do seem magical, this modality should not be considered a "set it and forget it" approach. While some practitioners may feel comfortable distributing peptide therapies without focusing on related lifestyle factors, overall health and wellness is our number one goal. Weight loss peptides require consistent management, and Thiesen MD recognizes the importance of ongoing monitoring to ensure not only the attainment of your goal weight, but a holistic approach to total body health.
