In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds dives into the fascinating world of peptide therapy and its role in weight loss and food addiction therapy. As an osteopathic physician with a wealth of experience in addiction treatment, Dr. Leeds shares his expertise on how peptides can be a game-changer for those struggling with food addiction and disordered eating patterns.
If you’ve ever wondered why you eat when you’re not hungry or why you can't seem to control your cravings, this episode is for you. Dr. Leeds breaks down the complex psychological and physiological factors that contribute to overeating and food addiction. He explains how hedonic eating—eating for pleasure rather than hunger—is driven by the brain's reward system, making it challenging to manage.
He also discusses binge eating disorder, a condition marked by episodes of consuming large amounts of food, often accompanied by feelings of shame or guilt. Peptide therapy, according to Dr. Leeds, offers a promising solution. By targeting hormones and neurotransmitters, peptides can help regulate appetite and improve satiety signals. Some peptides can even influence the brain's reward system, potentially reducing food cravings.
When combined with GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, these therapies can enhance feelings of fullness and support portion control efforts. Dr. Leeds emphasises that while peptides are powerful tools, they work best as part of a comprehensive approach that includes psychological support and nutritional counselling. He highlights various peptides like GHRP2, Ipamorelin, and BPC 157, each with unique benefits for weight management and overall health.
The episode also explores advanced peptide delivery methods, including injections and IV therapy, and discusses how these methods can maximise the benefits of peptide therapy. Dr. Leeds provides practical advice on selecting the right peptide for individual needs and integrating peptide therapy into a broader weight loss strategy. If you're looking to understand how peptide therapy can fit into your weight loss journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. Dr.
Leeds's expertise and compassionate approach make this a must-listen for anyone dealing with food addiction or weight management issues.
