Weight loss is not only about the number on the scale. Patients who start a medical weight loss program often notice changes in energy, muscle tone, and focus along the way, and those changes matter just as much as the pounds lost. That is why some providers consider pairing Sermorelin or NAD+ therapy alongside a medical weight loss program.
Supporting the Body Through the Process
Losing weight changes more than fat stores. It can affect muscle mass, energy levels, and mental clarity too. Sermorelin and NAD+ are two therapies providers may consider as part of a personalized wellness plan to help support the body through that process.
Sermorelin is a peptide that supports the body’s own natural growth hormone production. When paired with a weight loss program, it may help support lean muscle retention and healthy body composition as the body changes.
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a role in cellular energy production and may help support mental clarity and overall vitality during a weight loss journey.
How They Work Together With a Weight Loss Program
Every patient’s plan is different. A provider evaluates health history, goals, and progress before recommending any additional therapy. When appropriate, Sermorelin or NAD+ may be added to a medical weight loss plan to help support the body’s response to the changes taking place. Treatment may include provider-prescribed compounded medications when medically appropriate. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.
