53. Peptides, Growth Hormone, Weight Loss, and Other Benefits

As you know, I am always studying ways to stay optimally healthy and sharing these discoveries with my patients. Today I talk about peptides. Peptide usage has the potential aiding with anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and muscle building properties. Today, I am just scratching the surface of this complex topic. I will look at peptides regarding IGF-1 (growth hormone) and how keeping optimal levels can help with weight loss. I especially wanted to share some information regarding how certain peptides can increase and maintain healthy growth hormone levels. A lot to cover, but a little dive into the up and coming peptide technologies. The takeaways for maintain IGF-1 for weight loss are eat enough calories, enough protein, get enough sleep, and lower your alcohol intake. Also, get into some weightlifting with heavy weights and lay off the cardio and practice some intermittent fasting with carb cycling. I know…I hear ya… you need to know more. That’s what I am here for, to help you find the best you. I work with practitioners that can help you if you need specific lab tests and prescribe peptides if they could be helpful for you. Then I can help you with developing a diet and exercise lifestyle specifically for you.
