Weight loss is no easy feat, which is why most adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Unwanted weight gain might result from an untreated medical condition, such as a hormone imbalance. At Affinity Wellness 4 Life in Bradenton, Florida, Dominic Sorrentino Jr., PA-C, and his experienced weight loss team offer nutraceuticals, B12 injections, and appetite suppressants to simplify weight loss. Schedule a consultation with Affinity Wellness 4 Life by phone or online today.
Medical weight loss is a weight loss program Sorrentino and his team offer to increase your chance of reaching your goal weight and maintaining it for life.
They diagnose and treat medical conditions responsible for failed weight loss, such as a thyroid disorder or other hormone imbalances, and provide the structure and accountability needed to help you succeed.
There are numerous factors that increase your risk of becoming overweight or obese. Examples include:
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.
During medical weight loss appointments, practitioners at Affinity Wellness 4 Life review your medical history, weigh you, and check your vitals. They utilize blood tests to evaluate hormone, vitamin, and mineral levels and diagnose health conditions.
They analyze your current diet and exercise patterns to create a personalized weight loss treatment plan, which might include one or more of the following:
B12 plus methionine injections facilitate weight loss by giving you a boost of energy, increasing hydration, accelerating metabolism, and enhancing fat breakdown.
Your practitioner might recommend taking nutraceuticals, such as detoxification formulas or protein shakes, to detoxify your body, give you a boost of energy, control your appetite, and help you maintain lean body mass during periods of energy restriction.
Taking medications or appetite suppressants controls your appetite, making it easier to eat fewer calories during weight loss without feeling hungry.

Live Younger and Lighter...Longer...Affinity
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!
Here are the highlights on kisspeptin:
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.
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:
Kisspeptin acts on the HPG axis according to the following sequence:
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.”
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:

In addition to its beneficial impact on LH levels, kisspeptin also mimics the effects of HCG by boosting adiponectin levels, another important weight loss mechanism in the HCG diet:
“Kisspeptin administration significantly increased (p<0.05) mean plasma adiponectin levels under fed and 24-h fasting conditions as compared to pretreatment or vehicle-treatment levels….Thus, the present study demonstrated a stimulatory effect of peripheral kisspeptin administration on the plasma adiponectin levels under fed and 24-h fasting conditions in the adult male rhesus monkey. These findings, therefore, assign a novel role to kisspeptin, a regulator of adipocyte function in higher primates.”
Adiponectin, in turn, supercharges the breakdown of fatty acids and regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels:
“Studies have shown that adiponectin also helps to manage weight by controlling the levels of glucose within the body and by breaking down fatty acids. Therefore, activating adiponectin and increasing the levels in the blood can help with the management of weight and weight-related disorders.”
“A new study suggests that the hormone adiponectin, which is found in fat tissue, can cause weight loss by boosting metabolism without affecting appetite. Researchers say that the finding may lead to better treatments for obesity and other metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.”
The bottom line: if accelerating fat metabolism without the hunger associated with “normal” dieting sounds attractive, kisspeptin hormone therapy for higher adiponectin levels might be right for you.
The research into the clinical significance of kisspeptin is still in its infancy, but anti-aging experts have already taken an enormous interest in this potentially transformative peptide hormone.
The research-backed benefits that kisspeptin offers to those who receive it through therapy include:
On-going research is showing that Kisspeptin | HCG * combined with a Medically Supervised Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) can help:
** disclaimer: Kisspeptin / HCG Disclaimer* : Kispeptin and HCG work on the same or at least similar pathways functionally . However, in the recent turn of events hcg is no longer available or compounded by the compounding pharmacies anymore for the medical weight loss support programs.
