The Science of GLP-1 Agonists in Weight Loss

GLP-1 Agonists: Advanced Weight Loss Medication

GLP-1 Agonists:

  • Mimic a natural hormone in your body

  • Regulate appetite and blood sugar levels

  • Enhance the natural effects of GLP-1

  • FDA-approved for effective weight management

​

As part of our weight management strategy, we utilize these state-of-the-art treatments when appropriate. These FDA-approved medications support effective weight loss by:

  • Controlling hunger and appetite

  • Slowing digestion so that you feel full, longer

  • Help your body use insulin better, which is good for people with type 2 diabetes

​

Dr. Kalmbacher will determine if GLP-1 agonists are best for your weight loss plan based on your health profile and goals.

FDA-Approved GLP-1 Agonists for Weight Loss

Semaglutide Syringes

At Bayside Regenerative Medicine, we utilize FDA-approved GLP-1 agonists as part of our comprehensive weight management strategy. These medications include:

​

  1. Wegovy (semaglutide): Approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition. It's also approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with cardiovascular disease and either obesity or overweight.

  2. Zepbound (tirzepatide): Approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

​

Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes management. They are not approved for weight loss. However, they contain the same active ingredients as Wegovy and Zepbound, respectively.

 

Dr. Kalmbacher will determine the best medication for you based on your health, goals, and existing medical conditions.

 

Remember, these medications are used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal results. They should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

What is AOD 9604?

AOD 9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically amino acids 176-191. This peptide has been developed to potentially retain the fat-reduction properties of hGH while minimizing unwanted side effects associated with growth hormone therapy.

How AOD 9604 May Help with Weight Loss:

  1. Targets stubborn fat deposits

  2. Boosts metabolism

  3. Enhance fat burning without affecting muscle mass

  4. Improve body composition

The Science Behind AOD 9604 in Weight Loss:

  1. Fat Breakdown: AOD 9604 may activate specific receptors that help break down stored fat.

  2. Fat Formation Reduction: Decrease the activity of enzymes that create new fat cells.

  3. Metabolism Boost: Studies suggest AOD 9604 might increase calorie burning by activating brown fat tissue.

  4. Fat Utilization: The peptide may help the body use stored fat for energy more efficiently.

  5. Blood Sugar Control: Some research indicates AOD 9604 could improve how the body responds to insulin, potentially aiding in glucose management.

While early studies show promise, it's important to note that research is ongoing. AOD 9604 should be considered as part of a comprehensive weight management plan, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
