At Apex Health & Wellness, we provide advanced therapies to support sustainable fat loss, metabolic efficiency, and total-body optimization.
When strategically selected and combined with nutrition, exercise, and functional medicine principles, weight loss peptides can enhance fat metabolism, support lean muscle retention, improve insulin sensitivity, and optimize mitochondrial health.

These therapies are not one-size-fits-all — they’re tailored to your clinical presentation, goals, and physiology as part of a precision-guided medical plan.

What Are Weight Loss Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body, regulating key processes including metabolism, inflammation, and hormone signaling.
In the context of fat loss and metabolic optimization, certain peptides can help:

  • Increase lipolysis and reduce fat storage

  • Enhance energy expenditure and metabolic flexibility

  • Support lean mass preservation during caloric deficits

  • Improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation

  • Restore mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production

When integrated into a tailored medical plan, these therapies can help accelerate results in individuals with metabolic resistance or body composition challenges.

Key Therapeutic Compounds We May Incorporate

Each patient receives a protocol tailored to their unique biochemistry and goals. Compounds may include:

AOD-9604
A modified fragment of human growth hormone that promotes fat breakdown and inhibits lipogenesis — without stimulating IGF-1. Often used to reduce stubborn subcutaneous fat.

5-Amino-1MQ
A small molecule (not a peptide) that inhibits the NNMT enzyme, which plays a role in slowing metabolic rate. 5-Amino-1MQ may enhance NAD+ availability, increase energy expenditure, and support fat loss — especially when combined with mitochondrial support therapies.

MOTS-c
A mitochondrial-derived peptide that improves glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy utilization. Especially valuable for improving metabolic flexibility and exercise efficiency.

Tesamorelin
A growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that promotes pulsatile GH release. Clinically shown to reduce visceral fat while preserving lean mass, tesamorelin may offer unique advantages in advanced body composition optimization.

Additional compounds may be included based on your diagnostic evaluation, including those supporting appetite regulation, recovery, and hormonal balance.

Advanced Optimization Beyond Peptides

While peptides are powerful tools, we take a systems-based approach that includes:

  • NAD+ therapy to support mitochondrial health and metabolic resilience

  • Injectable nutrients such as MIC and Carnitine to aid fat metabolism and liver function

  • Targeted supplementation to correct nutrient deficiencies that impair metabolism

  • Whole-food nutrition and exercise plans designed to reinforce cellular efficiency and fat loss

In select cases, we may explore adjunct therapies for motivation, appetite regulation, or metabolic amplification — all chosen based on individual needs, safety, and lab markers.

Is This Approach Right for You?

Peptide-based and adjunct therapies may be appropriate for individuals who:

  • Have plateaued with traditional diet and exercise

  • Show signs of metabolic dysfunction or insulin resistance

  • Experience poor recovery, energy, or body composition despite effort

  • Prefer non-stimulant-based tools for fat metabolism support

  • Want a personalized, medically guided weight loss strategy

These therapies are not magic bullets — they work best as part of a fully customized optimization plan supported by proper diagnostics and clinical follow-through.
