Optimize Your Metabolism. Support Your Energy. Reach Your Goals.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about much more than the number on the scale. Metabolic health influences how your body produces energy, burns fat, maintains muscle, regulates blood sugar, and responds to exercise and nutrition.
While healthy eating, regular exercise, quality sleep, and hormone balance remain the foundation of long-term success, certain peptides may provide additional support by helping optimize your body’s natural metabolic processes.
At Northeast Medical Aesthetics, we offer two metabolic peptides — AOD-9604 and MOTS-c — that work in different ways to support body composition, energy production, and overall metabolic wellness.
At Northeast Medical Aesthetics, we offer several healing peptide therapies, each designed to address different aspects of recovery, tissue regeneration, and healthy aging.
AOD-9604 | Supporting Fat Metabolism & Body Composition
AOD-9604 is a peptide developed from a portion of human growth hormone that is specifically associated with fat metabolism. Unlike traditional growth hormone therapies, AOD-9604 is designed to support the body’s ability to break down stored fat without significantly affecting growth hormone levels.
Patients often choose AOD-9604 when their goals include:
- Supporting healthy fat metabolism
- Addressing stubborn areas of body fat
- Improving body composition
- Preserving lean muscle while losing weight
- Complementing a healthy diet and exercise program
AOD-9604 is best viewed as a tool to support healthy lifestyle changes rather than a replacement for proper nutrition and physical activity.
MOTS-c | Cellular Energy & Metabolic Wellness
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial peptide that helps support how your cells produce and use energy. Because mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell, healthy mitochondrial function plays an important role in metabolism, exercise performance, healthy aging, and overall vitality.
Research suggests MOTS-c may help support:
- Cellular energy production
- Healthy metabolism
- Insulin sensitivity
- Exercise performance and recovery
- Metabolic flexibility
- Healthy aging
Many patients are interested in MOTS-c as part of a proactive wellness plan to optimize metabolic health and maintain energy as they age.
Which Peptide Is Right for Me?
Although both peptides support metabolic health, they have different areas of focus.
AOD-9604 is primarily used to support healthy fat metabolism and body composition, making it a popular option for patients working toward weight loss and body fat reduction.
MOTS-c focuses on cellular metabolism and energy production, helping support overall metabolic function, exercise performance, and healthy aging.
In some cases, these therapies may complement one another as part of a personalized wellness program designed around your individual goals.
Frequently Asked Questions – Metabolic Health & Weight Management Peptides
Are these weight loss medications?
No. AOD-9604 and MOTS-c are peptides that support different aspects of metabolism. They are not intended to replace healthy lifestyle habits or physician-directed weight management therapies.
Can these peptides be combined with GLP-1 medications?
For some patients, yes. Depending on your goals and medical history, your provider may recommend incorporating metabolic peptides into a broader weight management plan that includes GLP-1 therapy, nutrition, exercise, and hormone optimization.
Will I still need to eat healthy and exercise?
Absolutely. Healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, quality sleep, and sustainable lifestyle habits remain the foundation of long-term metabolic health. Peptide therapy is intended to support—not replace—those efforts.
