The Medical Weight Loss Concept

Unlike a "traditional" weight loss program that only provides a diet plan and a general exercise advise, medical weight loss programming provides a multidisciplinary approach to weight loss which includes: supervised AND skilled planning provided by licensed medical practitioners, geared dietary programs, medical grade nutraceuticals and foods, medications and injections, personal exercise training and if needed laboratory blood work and hormonal balancing. This multi approach to weight loss allows a safe and effective way to reduce body fat while helping to prevent unwanted disease states such as diabetes. obesity, hypertension, and heart disease!

What are risk factors for obesity and weight gain?

There are numerous factors that increase your risk of becoming overweight or obese. Examples include:

• Poor dietary habits / excessive caloric intake / high sugary foods
• Diabetes or prediabetes states
• Hormonal imbalance including menopause and andropause
• Low thyroid function
• High stress and cortisol levels
• Gut malabsorption or celiac disease
• Lack of physical activity
• Depression
• Genetics

Sorrentino and his team find the root cause of overweight or obesity to create a personalized weight loss plan that best matches your unique needs.

Kisspeptin Diet For Weight Loss: An Effective Alternative to HCG Injections?

As we have explored in multiple reports, the FDA has placed burdensome limitations on compounding pharmacies’ ability to produce human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) – one of the main supplements we have successfully used at HCG Diet Miami to help thousands of patients lose weight.

Given these developments, we’ve had to look elsewhere to achieve the same weight loss results using alternative treatments. Through extensive research, we’ve discovered that the kisspeptin diet delivers impressive weight loss results similar to HCG – in addition to other notable health benefits.

Let’s get into the details regarding kisspeptin weight loss and why we are excited to introduce it to our patients at Affinity Wellness 4 Life!

What Is Kisspeptin and How Does It Work?

Here are the highlights on kisspeptin:

• A polypeptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus, a region of the midbrain
• In humans, the KISS1 gene encodes the hormone
• The number following the name indicates the number of amino acids in the protein – for example, kisspeptin-10, the most effective version for raising LH levels and stimulating weight loss, is a sequence of 10 amino acids
• Standard dose of .1-.2mL per injection, 2-3 times weekly to daily may be suggested

Some practitioners refer to kisspeptin as its original name, “metastin,” for its ability to suppress metastization (cancer growth). (See later section for the anti-aging health benefits of kisspeptin in addition to weight loss.)

Let’s get into how kisspeptin turbo-charges weight loss and why it’s the ideal alternative to FDA-banned HCG.

How Does HCG Work For Weight Loss and Why Is Kisspeptin the Best Alternative?

In the specific context of weight loss, kisspeptin works within the same hormone feedback loop that HCG acts on — the critical hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis –to promote weight loss in two specific ways that we will explore in detail here:

• Boosting luteinizing hormone (LH) levels
• Boosting adiponectin levels

HPG and the HPG Axis

Kisspeptin acts on the HPG axis according to the following sequence:

• Kisspeptin triggers the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus
• GnRH travels to the pituitary gland where it triggers the release of two hormones: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This pair of hormones is primarily involved in maintaining reproductive health but is also heavily implicated in metabolism and weight management
• LH and FSH trigger the release of sex hormones (primarily estradiol in women and testosterone in men)
• The loop comes full circle with the sex hormones regulating the release of leptin, adiponectin, and other hormones in the brain responsible for metabolism and fat burning

The chart below illustrates the flow of the HPG axis hormone feedback loop:

Kisspeptin acts powerfully on this axis. Via ScienceDirect:

“Comparison of the releasing effects of kisspeptins with those of other neuropeptides and neurotransmitters indicates that kisspeptins are probably the most potent stimulator of the gonadotropic axis known so far.”

Kisspeptin Stimulates As High as 60 Times Greater LH Release

Research has demonstrated kisspeptin’s remarkable capacity to achieve exponential gains in LH secretion, particularly in combination with fasting (a protocol we already use in the HCG diet):

“In fed animals, both prepubertal female and male rats demonstrated a 9 to 10 fold increase in LH concentrations in serum 15 minutes after i.c.v. injection of kisspeptin. In contrast, fasted rats demonstrated a much greater 50 to 60 fold increase in LH release. Moreover, the kisspeptin-stimulated release of GnRH from hypothalamic explants collected from rats that were fasted for 72 h was greater than that from hypothalamic explants collected from ad libitum fed rats.”

In particular, kisspeptin-10, which consists of a chain of 10 amino acids (pared down from the 53-amino-acid chain in kisspeptin’s original form), generates the greatest LH gains. Via ScienceDirect:

“Proteolytic cleavage of the primary product of the KiSS1 gene, a 53-amino-acid peptide known as kisspeptin or metastin, generates the decapeptide kisspeptin-10, which is a potent stimulator of LH release.”

The chart below indicates the beneficial impacts of therapeutic kisspeptin administration on LH:
