Optimize Your Body’s Natural Processes For Weight Management
Peptide Therapy has grown in popularity in recent years, however many providers do not have the necessary experience with peptide therapies. Dr. Ken Winnard and his team at OneLife Health & Performance in Palm Beach Gardens, FL have been working with peptide therapy for years and are experts in safely managing peptide programs for patients. This includes proper monitoring of muscle mass and maintenance of muscle mass throughout the duration of your treatment, as well as making sure you still have proper nutrition and energy levels to drive your body’s normal physiology and bring you to an optimal state of health.
Dr. Winnard will assess your specific health needs and goals, review your medical history, conduct necessary labwork, and create a custom peptide therapy plan suitable for you. The dosage, specific peptides used, and treatment duration will be tailored to your individual needs and closely monitored by Dr. Winnard and his team throughout your therapy.
Peptides We Carry For Medical Weight Loss
Some of the most effective peptides for natural, sustainable weight loss that we utilize at OneLife Health & Performance in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl are: Semaglutide(commercially Wegovy or Ozempic), Tirzepatide(commercially Mounjaro), MOTS-c, AOD 9604 and CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a peptide medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists) and helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, and delaying gastric emptying. Semaglutide can aid in glycemic control and may contribute to weight loss.
Tirzepatide
Similar to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide is also a GLP-1 receptor agonist that’s creating quite a buzz. This next-generation peptide therapy boasts an innovative approach by targeting both the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors simultaneously. By leveraging this dual action, Tirzepatide helps control blood sugar levels, promotes weight loss, and enhances cardiovascular health.
MOTS-c
MOTS-c (Mitochondrial-Encoded Oligopeptide) is a peptide encoded in the mitochondria that regulates cellular processes, metabolism, and energy production. It enhances metabolic function, promotes cellular energy production, supports cardiovascular health, improves insulin sensitivity, and exhibits potential anti-aging effects.
AOD 9604
AOD 9604 (Anti-Obesity Drug) is a modified version of a human growth hormone (HGH) fragment. It works by stimulating the breakdown of stored fat & inhibiting fat synthesis in the body. AOD 9604 is primarily used for its potential weight loss benefits. It may help reduce body fat, increase fat metabolism, & improve body composition. It is often known for its ability to aid in weight management & enhance physical performance.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
CJC 1295 (also known as Modified GRF 1-29) is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It works by stimulating the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which can have various effects on the body. CJC 1295 is often used in conjunction with other peptides, such as Ipamorelin, to promote increased growth hormone levels. Potential benefits in enhancing muscle growth, improving recovery, & promoting anti-aging effects.

What is a peptide treatment plan for body composition?
A peptide treatment plan for body composition involves using specific peptides to enhance metabolism, promote fat loss, and support muscle growth. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that regulate hormones to influence weight and body composition.
Can peptides assist other weight management programs?
Yes, peptides can effectively complement other weight management programs. When combined with traditional methods such as diet and exercise, medical weight loss peptides enhance results by accelerating fat loss and improving muscle mass.
Does peptide therapy have side effects for weight loss?
While peptide therapy is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects including, localized reactions at the injection site, such as redness or swelling.
Rarely, some may experience headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should consult with medical professionals specializing in peptide therapy like Dr. Winnard.
How soon can one expect results from using peptides for weight loss?
The timeframe for seeing results from peptide therapy can vary depending on factors such as age, metabolism, and dedication to the treatment. However, many patients notice significant changes in body composition in three to six months. Patients can experience reduced fat and increased muscle mass.
Are there specific lifestyle or dietary recommendations to follow while on a peptide therapy plan?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can maximize results while on a peptide therapy plan. A balanced diet rich in lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates enhances the effects of medical weight loss peptides.
Regular physical activity, including both cardiovascular and strength training exercises, is also recommended to support overall health and body composition goals. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting adequate sleep are components of an effective weight-loss strategy.
