Looking to get to your optimal weight and health this summer? While it seems like everyone is on one of those weight loss injectable peptides (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) they come with risks including losing weight from muscle over fat and side effects when used in higher doses.

The peptide is known as Semaglutide and when used in low doses and when combined with another peptide called BPC- 157 (Body Protection Compound - which is naturally found in the gut), it can offer significant benefits by not only helping you shed fat pounds but also potentially reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and maybe even some mental health benefits through neuromodulation.

Also available:
- Personalized diet and nutrition program
- Protein powder and supplements
