All of our GLP-1 weight-loss programs include free monthly scans in our Fit3D body scanner. In an approximately 35-second, non-invasive scan, the Fit3D captures body measurements, body shape scoring, posture analysis, body composition, and more. You will be able to compare your monthly scans to track your progress through the program.

Tirzepatide is a dual therapy meaning it contains 25% GLP-1 and 75% GIP. GIP is an inhibitor of gastric secretion and a stimulant of insulin secretion. GLP-1 and GIP is a hormone that causes regulation of blood sugar by stimulation glucose and slowing gastric emptying, which makes you feel full and lowers the desire for food. It is taken by injection once a week and has shown to decrease how much food people eat and how much energy they burn.

BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound, a peptide originally isolated from protective proteins in the stomach. It promotes healing and regeneration in the body, especially in the gut, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. BPC-157 is available in oral capsules for systemic and gastrointestinal support and injections for targeted tissue healing and recovery.
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring peptide complex that supports tissue regeneration, wound healing, and skin repair. We offer it as a subcutaneous injection for systemic benefits that can include collagen and elastin support, faster post-surgical repair, and reduced inflammation.
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a neuropeptide used to support natural sleep regulation. It promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by modulating circadian rhythms and reducing stress-related arousal. Clients consider DSIP for insomnia, poor sleep quality, nighttime anxiety, and to support recovery from physical/mental fatigue.
Semax/Selank injections to support focus, memory, mental clarity, and mood. It’s a synthetic peptide known for neuroprotective and nootropic properties, and often chosen to enhance cognitive performance, motivation, learning, and stress regulation.
Tesamorelin (a GHRH analog) stimulates your pituitary to release natural human growth hormone (HGH), particularly known for reducing visceral abdominal fat and supporting metabolic health. Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (ghrelin mimetic) that triggers HGH release without affecting cortisol, prolactin, or hunger levels. Used together, they synergistically enhance natural HGH production to support fat loss, lean muscle, recovery, energy, and cellular repair.
Sermorelin is a bio-identical peptide that mimics growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), stimulating your pituitary gland to naturally increase human growth hormone (HGH) production. It’s primarily used for anti-aging, improved recovery, and performance optimization.
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic, meaning it binds to ghrelin receptors to stimulate HGH release. It’s one of the safest and most selective peptides for this purpose, with minimal side
effects.
Used together, Sermorelin and Ipamorelin create a synergistic effect that enhances the body’s natural production of growth hormone while reducing unwanted side effects commonly associated with synthetic HGH.
