Today we’re diving into how medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide work in the body—and how they compare to the hormones your body naturally produces. Once you understand the biology behind them, their effects start to make a lot more sense. What is a peptide? Let’s start with the basics. A peptide is a molecule […]

Oral Semaglutide
Today, we’re diving into an exciting development in obesity treatment—oral semaglutide. Last week, the FDA approved Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill as the first and only oral GLP-1 for weight loss in adults. This approval is based on results from the OASIS-4 phase 3 clinical trial showing that a once-daily oral version of semaglutide can deliver […]
GLP-1 Therapies Strategies: Weekly, Micro-Dose, and Maintenance
Today, we’re diving into GLP‑1 therapies, including dual GIP/GLP‑1 agonists and the emerging triple agonists, and talking about how these peptides are typically dosed, what people are experimenting with, and what the research — or real-world experience — tells us so far. Most GLP‑1 receptor agonists, as well as dual and triple agonists, are designed […]
A Comprehensive Guide to the Top 27 Peptide Therapies: How They Work, Benefits, and Side Effects
Peptide therapies have become increasingly popular for their ability to treat various health conditions, from improving athletic performance to supporting anti-aging, immune function, and weight loss. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body and act as signaling molecules, helping to regulate numerous biological processes. Here, we’ll discuss the top […]
Nutrient Tips While on GLP‑1 Medications
Today we’re going to talk about something that’s becoming really important for anyone taking medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP‑1 receptor agonists. You probably already know the benefits of GLP-1s—smaller appetite, better blood sugar control, and noticeable weight loss. But here’s the catch: eating less can sometimes mean you’re also taking in fewer essential […]
Finding the Right Fit: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or Retatrutide
Today, we’re tackling a question that comes up often in peptide, weight loss, and nutrition clinics: why does one person see great results with semaglutide, while another responds better to tirzepatide—or even retatrutide? All three peptides target the incretin system, but they act in slightly different ways—and those differences can dramatically affect outcomes. Let’s start […]
