Natural Peptides for Weight Loss
By Rebecca Steiner, Naturopathic Medical Assistant and Health Coach
We know that periods of stress can take a toll on our health. In addition to other physiological effects, stress impacts our daily habits, and how well we take care of ourselves. In these COVID times, it is understandable if some of us haven’t been making the “best” choices. Maybe you aren’t eating or exercising the way you know you should. Perhaps you’ve put on some extra pounds. Maybe you’ve tried to get back in shape, but are struggling to stay on track. If this sounds familiar, peptide therapy could be the answer for you.
Peptide therapy is a natural way to reset your metabolism and boost your body’s ability to burn fat. In addition to stress, many of us have difficulty losing weight for other reasons as well. Factors such as age, hormone imbalance, chronic infection, and a history of yo-yo dieting can leave the metabolism functioning sub-optimally. Peptide therapy works by increasing growth hormone production, which is what gets our metabolism running and allows us to burn fat.
Peptides have other health benefits as well, including; anti-aging properties, sleep support, improvement in the look of skin, hair and nails, boosting of immune function and increased strength, muscle tone and bone density.
Peptides are by far my favorite weight loss hack. Unlike other therapies, they don’t’ just help you lose weight, they optimize body composition by toning muscle and targeting belly fat. And, they don’t ultimately lead to rebound weight gains or slowed metabolism, in fact, they help to get the metabolism functioning properly again. That being said, peptides are not a magic bullet. They only work in combination with diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. This is why I like to work closely with my clients to assess their individual needs and create a customized and detailed plan that will help them achieve their fitness goals.
