Have you struggled with weight management for years, but want to explore other treatments besides GLP-1s? Our weight loss specialists in Atlanta provide GLP-1 alternatives, from prescription medications to peptide therapy and natural supplements. Keep reading for our complete guide to the best options!
Functional Medicine’s Approach to Weight Loss
Sustainable weight loss isn’t the result of fad diets or a single medication, but rather a combination of healthy habits, holistic treatments, and consistency over a period of time. Our goal is to help you create a routine and lifestyle that can be maintained in the long run, not just for short-term results.
We also take a look at roadblocks to weight loss, whether they are hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, stress, poor sleep, or a combination of multiple issues. Looking at a more comprehensive picture of your health helps us create individualized plans for effective treatment.
Additionally, it’s important to note that the alternatives to GLP-1 drugs mentioned below aren’t miracle-working treatments, but rather designed to come alongside and help in addition to diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits.
Natural GLP-1 Alternatives
Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant medication that works to reduce hunger signals and increase feelings of fullness. But if you’re interested in trying some more natural GLP-1 alternatives first, here are a few options:
- Berberine: a natural compound found in plants; it helps cells respond to insulin, promotes healthy gut bacteria, and activates a metabolism-boosting enzyme, AMPK.
- Lemon Verbena: supplements often combine lemon verbena with a hibiscus extract for regulating hunger hormones and supporting a healthy metabolism and energy balance.
- 7 Day Liver Detox: sometimes a liver detox can help jumpstart a weight loss journey and enhance your body’s natural detoxification process.
These are just a few examples; learn more about another GLP-1 alternative, a probiotic called Akkermansia for weight loss!
Peptide Therapy for Weight Loss
GLP-1s aren’t the only options when it comes to weight loss peptides. In fact, we offer quite a few alternatives for improving metabolism, inflammation, insulin resistance, and more when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes:
CJC-1295: a great booster for fat breakdown- IGF & LR3: a powerful combination for fat loss
- MOTS-c: an energy booster that protects against metabolic decline
CJC-1295: a great booster for fat breakdownPeptide therapy is an innovative new treatment option that requires careful monitoring and adjustments.
