What are peptides—and what are they studied for?

A plain-language guide to every metabolic, recovery, energy, and appetite-support option currently offered by South Beach Health & Wellness.

Educational content only.

The descriptions below summarize how these options are discussed in studies and the benefits people report. They are not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or promise of results. Talk with your healthcare provider about your health history, possible risks, and whether any option is appropriate for you. Kurt can start that conversation in a free phone consultation and involve the clinic’s nurse practitioner for clinical guidance when needed.

Metabolic medications

Options studied for appetite, insulin response, and metabolic support. Clinical screening comes before any recommendation.

What is Tirzepatide?

Dual agonist

What it is: A metabolic medication that acts on GLP-1 and GIP pathways.

Purpose discussed in studies: Appetite regulation, reduced food intake, insulin response, and metabolic support.

Reported benefits: People report less hunger and improved satiety; studies also examine changes in insulin response and body weight.

Option currently offered: T10, T20, T30, T40, T50, and T60 four-week vials, plus a daily oral option.
