Embarking on a weight loss journey can be life-changing, but it can be challenging to know where to start. Every day we are bombarded with media telling us what to eat, what foods to avoid, and which exercises will get us rapid results. These promises are often unreliable and conflicting, so it's no surprise that many people feel frustrated and uncertain about taking that first step toward losing weight.
Recently, advancements in medical weight loss treatments like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have shown significant results, transforming the bodies and lives of patients across the globe—and even those of some of your favorite celebrities. Unlike the quick-fix solutions we are advertised daily, these treatments are rooted in science and offer effective and measurable results. At the root of this medical weight loss revolution are peptides, specifically GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs), which target weight loss at a physiological level.
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy uses medically-administered peptides—short chains of amino acids—that target specific bodily processes to aid in weight loss. These peptides work by regulating metabolism, controlling appetite, and promoting sustainable fat loss which makes them a powerful tool available to us at Thiesen MD.
In this post, we’ll explore how peptide therapy for weight loss works and the importance of choosing an experienced medical provider. Our practices, located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, are lead by Dr. Larry Thiesen, the primary provider of medical weight loss in New England.

Thiesen MD's Preferred Peptides:
Our preferred approach involves GLP-1RA (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) peptides, specifically Tirzepatide, which helps to regulate appetite, enhance metabolic function, and contribute to long-term, sustainable weight loss. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone in the digestive tract that signals fullness after a meal and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Since natural GLP-1 breaks down quickly, it can lead to hunger resurfacing soon after eating. Tirzepatide mimics this hormone, promoting longer-lasting satiety and supporting healthier eating habits and behaviors around food.
Why Choose an Expert for Medical Weight Loss?
With the recent availability of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro on public markets, finding trustworthy treatment providers is essential. Purchasing peptides on direct-to-consumer websites can be risky, so it is critical to seek out a qualified medical professional to ensure you are receiving the correct dosage for your unique medical needs. Dr. Thiesen, our expert practitioner, provides personalized weight loss plans that are both safe and effective. Following an initial consultation, Dr. Thiesen will create a customized treatment plan to meet your specific medical needs and weight loss goals, and will be there alongside you throughout your entire weight loss journey.
Ongoing Monitoring and Holistic Health
While peptide therapy with GLP-1 agonists may deliver rapid and transformative weight loss results, successful weight management is not a “set it and forget it” process. Our focus at Thiesen MD extends beyond just reaching a target weight, as consistent monitoring and lifestyle adjustments are essential for optimal health and well-being. Dr. Thiesen emphasizes comprehensive health across all of our services to ensure patients not only lose weight, but achieve well-rounded, healthier lifestyles.
