As you age, it can become increasingly difficult to keep off weight. Your metabolism slows, your hormone levels drop, and your overall physiology changes. These changes not only make maintaining weight challenging but also make losing weight on your own an even more difficult feat.
At Fountain of You MD in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, we offer personalized weight loss support programs to help you achieve your goals. For many of our patients, we recommend weight loss medications and therapies that can change your body and promote fat loss. One of the most effective treatments we offer is Sermorelin Peptide Therapy, which has shown tremendous success in weight loss management.

What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in your body. These naturally occurring molecules play an important role in regulating a variety of bodily functions, including weight loss, blood sugar regulation, hormone production, immune function, and inflammation control.
Peptide therapy (such as Sermorelin) has been widely used for age management and weight loss support for years.
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy, also known as growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT), has been embraced by age management practitioners as an effective treatment for improving overall wellness and reversing the effects of aging. Peptides like Sermorelin and Ipamorelin have been shown to stimulate the pituitary gland, increasing the natural production of human growth hormone (HGH), which directly influences metabolism and fat loss.
What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a peptide that acts as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It works by stimulating your pituitary gland to naturally produce and release more human growth hormone (HGH). Increased HGH levels play a crucial role in metabolism, muscle growth, energy, and fat burning, making Sermorelin a powerful tool for age management and weight loss support.
Key Benefits of Sermorelin Therapy:
-
Promotes fat loss and lean muscle gain
-
Improves energy, stamina, and recovery
-
Enhances sleep quality
-
Supports healthy metabolism and cellular repair
-
May help improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging
Unlike direct HGH injections, Sermorelin safely encourages your body’s own hormone production, reducing the risks associated with external hormone replacement. This makes it a popular choice for patients seeking sustainable, long-term results.
Sermorelin & LDN—Our Advanced Weight Loss Program
At Fountain of You MD, we have developed an innovative weight loss program that combines Sermorelin with Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for enhanced metabolic support and appetite control.
How does this combination work?
-
Sermorelin stimulates natural HGH production, improving fat burning, energy levels, and muscle mass.
-
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) works on the brain’s opioid receptors to help reduce cravings, control appetite, and support a healthy metabolism. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can benefit those with underlying metabolic inflammation.
Benefits of our Sermorelin + LDN protocol:
-
Enhanced fat loss and improved body composition
-
Reduced appetite and fewer cravings, making healthy eating habits easier to maintain
-
Improved energy, mood, and sleep
-
Lower risk of common side effects seen with other weight loss medications
This combination is especially valuable for patients who want to avoid the side effects of GLP-1 agonists or who have not responded to other weight loss therapies.
What is the Best Weight Loss Treatment?
Every person is unique and reacts differently to different approaches. While GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are considered effective options for weight loss, they often come with various side effects that are sometimes intolerable for certain patients. Sermorelin is a trusted option that tends to offer patients weight loss benefits often times without side effects. Our weight loss program pairs Sermorelin with Low Dose Naltrexone for improved weight loss support. These medications help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve your body’s ability to burn fat.
Due to recent regulatory changes, treatments like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, have been severely restricted.
Other Weight Loss Medications
Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by slowing gastric emptying, increasing feelings of fullness, and improving insulin sensitivity. It’s a breakthrough medication for weight management that has been shown to help individuals lose significant weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Tirzepatide for Weight Loss
Tirzepatide, another GLP-1 receptor agonist, also targets a second receptor, GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide), giving it a unique dual-action mechanism that enhances its effectiveness. Clinical trials show that Tirzepatide can lead to more substantial weight loss compared to other treatments.
