To be a candidate for a weight loss peptide, namely a GLP-1 RA, you typically need to meet one or several of the following diagnostic criteria: Obesity: Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 30 (e.g., someone whos 511 and weighs 215lb would qualify as obese),22 but a BMI slightly below 30 doesnt disqualify you for a peptide prescription
Traditional GLP-1 treatments are typically administered through injections, which work quickly but wear off just as fast
[23] This reduces metabolic efficacy, harms your gut microbiome, and reduces the hormones needed for health: leptin, ghrelin, insulin, cortisol, thyroid, etc
The drug has been approved for prescription to UK adults with a body mass index of 30 or above, or who are overweight with a BMI between 27 and 30 and at least one weight-related condition
