WHAT IS LIP DISSOLVE?
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical injection procedure that reduces fat deposits and cellulite. It is also known as Mesotherapy.
Lipodissolve is comprised of a combination of phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholate (DC), which are naturally occurring components in the body, injected into those stubborn pockets of fat. The injections change the fat from a solid to a liquid, which is then expelled from the body naturally via the body’s waste and lymphatic system.
MEDICALLY MANAGED WEIGHT LOSS
GLP-1 medications
GLP-1 medications, or GLP-1 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs commonly used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. They mimic the action of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is produced in the gut and plays a role in glucose regulation and appetite control.
Here’s how GLP-1 medications work
- Increase Insulin Production: GLP-1 drugs stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, but only when blood sugar levels are high. This helps lower blood glucose without causing dangerously low blood sugar levels, or hypoglycemia.
- Reduce Glucagon Release: Glucagon is a hormone that signals the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. GLP-1 drugs reduce the release of glucagon, which helps to decrease the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
- Slow Gastric Emptying: GLP-1 medications slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, leading to a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream after meals. This helps prevent post-meal blood sugar spikes.
- Reduce Appetite: These drugs act on the brain to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, which can lead to weight loss. This effect has made GLP-1 medications popular for weight management as well.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a medication that targets both GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. By activating both of these incretin receptors, tirzepatide provides a dual mechanism that makes it distinct from traditional GLP-1 agonists.
Here’s how tirzepatide works
- Dual Incretin Agonist: Tirzepatide is known as a “dual agonist” because it stimulates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. While GLP-1 is already used in diabetes management, GIP is another gut hormone that plays a role in insulin secretion and appetite regulation. Combining GLP-1 and GIP effects has been shown to improve blood sugar control and weight loss more effectively than GLP-1 activation alone.
- Enhanced Insulin Release: Like GLP-1 agonists, tirzepatide boosts insulin release when blood sugar levels are high, which helps lower blood glucose after meals.
- Reduced Glucagon Release: By reducing glucagon secretion, tirzepatide helps the body produce less glucose in the liver, contributing to lower blood sugar levels.
- Appetite Suppression and Weight Loss: Tirzepatide also affects areas in the brain that control appetite, resulting in reduced hunger and greater feelings of fullness. This makes it useful for weight loss in addition to blood sugar control.
- Tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro, has gained attention for its effectiveness in both managing type 2 diabetes and promoting significant weight loss. The dual incretin mechanism offers an enhanced approach to diabetes and weight management that’s showing promise in clinical studies, sometimes with greater efficacy than GLP-1 agonists alone.
PEPTIDE THERAPY
Peptide therapy is a medical treatment that involves using specific peptides—short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body—to target various physiological functions. Peptides occur naturally in the body and play essential roles in biological processes, such as hormone production, immune function, tissue repair, metabolism, and more. In peptide therapy, synthetic or bioidentical peptides are used to mimic these naturally occurring peptides, promoting certain effects to improve health or treat specific conditions.
How Peptide Therapy Works
Peptides work by binding to specific receptors on cells, which triggers a series of cellular responses. Depending on the peptide used, therapy can target specific functions such as:
- Tissue Repair and Recovery: Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are often used to accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle recovery, making them popular in sports medicine and for people recovering from injuries.
- Weight Loss and Metabolism: Some peptides, like CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin, stimulate the release of growth hormone, which can support fat loss, lean muscle mass, and overall metabolic health. GLP-1-based peptides, like those in GLP-1 receptor agonists, are also used in weight management.
- Immune System Support: Peptides such as Thymosin Alpha-1 are used to support immune function, which can be beneficial for immune-related conditions or recovery from infections
- Anti-Aging and Skin Health: Peptides like copper peptides are often used in skincare for their anti-aging effects, helping with collagen production, skin repair, and reducing wrinkles.
- Cognitive and Mood Support: Certain peptides, like Selank and Semax, are thought to support brain health, reduce stress, and improve mood, potentially benefiting mental clarity and well-being.
Commonly Used Peptides in Therapy
- BPC-157: Known for its regenerative properties, used for gut health and tissue repair.
- CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin: Growth hormone-releasing peptides that support fat loss, muscle growth, and improved sleep.
- Thymosin Alpha-1: Enhances immune response and has applications in immune system support.
- Melanotan II: Often used to promote skin tanning and has been explored for its appetite-suppressing effects.
Administration and Safety
Peptide therapy is usually administered by injection, though some peptides are available in topical, oral, or nasal forms. It’s typically prescribed and overseen by a healthcare provider, especially in therapeutic or anti-aging clinics, to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Potential Benefits and Uses
Peptide therapy is widely used in functional medicine and wellness clinics for:
- Enhancing athletic performance and recovery
- Supporting weight loss
- Managing age-related symptoms
- Boosting immune function
- Improving mental clarity and mood
Since peptides are generally well-tolerated and closely mimic natural molecules in the body, they are often considered safe with a relatively low risk of side effects. However, as with any therapy, potential risks and side effects should be considered, and they are typically used under professional guidance.
