Losing weight is one thing. Feeling completely transformed, inside and out, is another.
At The Rae Clinic in Evans, Georgia, we see it all the time. A patient starts a medical weight-loss program with semaglutide or tirzepatide; the scale starts moving, and then a new set of questions emerges. What about loose skin? What about muscle tone? What about energy levels, inflammation, and recovery? What about the fact that losing weight is only half of what it means to feel truly good in your body?
That’s exactly where The Rae Peptide Method comes in.
Our medical weight loss programs and peptide protocols were designed to complement each other, creating a comprehensive, whole-body approach to transformation that goes well beyond the number on the scale. Here’s how they work together, and with more women across the CSRA, they are combining both for results that are nothing short of remarkable.
The Problem With Weight Loss Alone
Here’s something most weight loss programs won’t tell you: losing weight without supporting your body through the process can leave you feeling depleted, loose, and not quite like yourself, even when the scale says you’ve won.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are extraordinarily effective at reducing appetite and promoting fat loss. But rapid weight loss, especially without intentional support, can sometimes lead to:
Loss of lean muscle mass alongside fat
Skin laxity and reduced elasticity
Fatigue and slower recovery
Inflammation and joint discomfort
Plateaus that feel impossible to push through
None of that means GLP-1 medications aren’t the right choice; they absolutely are for the right patient. It just means that pairing them with targeted support gives your body the tools it needs to lose fat, preserve muscle, recover well, and come out the other side feeling as good as you look.
That’s the whole-body approach we take at The Rae Clinic. And The Rae Peptide Method is the other half of that equation.
What Is The Rae Peptide Method?
The Rae Peptide Method is our signature collection of injectable peptide protocols, each one designed to target a specific aspect of health, wellness, and body composition. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as cellular messengers, signaling the body to repair, regenerate, and perform at its best.
When combined with a medical weight loss program, the right peptide protocols amplify your results, protect your body through the process, and help you arrive at your goal feeling strong, tight, and genuinely well, not just smaller.
Here’s how each protocol supports your weight loss journey specifically:
The Metabolic Reset Protocol - The Foundation
The Metabolic Reset Protocol is the natural starting point for patients seeking to combine medical weight loss with peptide therapy.
This protocol uses semaglutide or tirzepatide, FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, as its foundation, with optional B12 and B12/Lipo injections to support energy and metabolism throughout the process. It’s the core of our medical weight loss program. It’s the core of our medical weight loss program, and for many patients, it’s the first intervention to ever produce real, sustainable results.
The Metabolic Reset isn’t about starving or restricting. It’s about giving your body the clinical support it needs to regulate appetite, improve metabolic function, and lose fat in a way that’s guided, intentional, and medically sound.
Starting here gives everything else a solid foundation to build on.
The Sculpt Protocol - Protecting & Building Lean Muscle
This is the protocol we most commonly recommend alongside medical weight loss, and here’s why.
When the body loses weight rapidly, it doesn’t always discriminate between fat and muscle. The Sculpt Protocol uses Tesamorelin, a growth hormone-releasing hormone, to specifically target visceral and stubborn fat while simultaneously supporting lean muscle development and recovery.
Translation: instead of just getting smaller, you get tighter, more defined, and stronger. The kind of results that make people ask whether you’ve been working out, even when the GLP-1 medication is doing a lot of the heavy lifting on the fat loss side.
For patients who’ve lost significant weight and are struggling with body composition, feeling soft or loose despite the scale moving, The Sculpt Protocol is often the missing piece.
The Repair Protocol - Recovery & Inflammation Support
Weight loss is a physical process, and your body needs time to recover.
The Repair Protocol uses BPC-157 and TB-500, two of the most researched peptides in the wellness space, to reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and restore your body’s natural recovery rhythm. For patients on GLP-1 medications who are also increasing their activity levels, dealing with joint discomfort, or simply feeling run down from the demands of their transformation, The Repair Protocol provides the recovery support that makes everything else more sustainable.
Think of it as giving your body permission to heal so it can keep performing.
The Glow Protocol - Because Your Skin Deserves Support Too
One of the most common concerns we hear from patients undergoing significant weight loss is their skin.
Rapid fat loss can affect skin elasticity, and while aesthetic treatments like microneedling and laser resurfacing address this from the outside, The Glow Protocol addresses it from within. Using GHK-cu, BPC-157, and TB-500, this protocol works at a cellular level to improve skin tone, elasticity, and collagen production, supporting your skin’s ability to adapt as your body changes.
Pair it with our microneedling or PRP treatments for a comprehensive inside-out approach to skin health during your weight loss journey. The results speak for themselves.
Optional Add-Ons That Elevate Your Results Even Further
For patients who want to go all in, our optional peptide add-ons provide targeted support for the aspects of wellness that weight loss and body composition programs don’t always address:
Semax - $100/month Cognitive support and mental clarity because brain fog is real, and feeling sharp matters just as much as feeling fit.
DSIP - $125/month Sleep optimization and stress recovery because your body's best transformative work happens while you sleep, and quality rest is non-negotiable for sustainable results.
NAD+ - $125/month Cellular energy and anti-aging support fueling your cells at the most fundamental level for energy, vitality, and longevity that goes far beyond the scale.
What A Combined Program Actually Looks Like at The Rae Clinic
Here’s what a comprehensive medical weight loss and peptide protocol might look like for a patient at The Rae Clinic:
Month 1 - Foundation Begin The Metabolic Reset Protocol with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Add B12 or B12/Lipo injections for energy and metabolic support. Complete your new patient consultation and establish baseline labs if enrolling in an Advanced or Premier Wellness membership.
Month 2 - Build As the body begins responding to GLP-1 medication, introduce The Sculpt Protocol with Tesamorelin to protect lean muscle and target stubborn fat. Consider adding The Repair Protocol if inflammation or recovery is a concern.
Month 3 & Beyond - Optimize Layer in The Glow Protocol to support skin elasticity as body composition continues to shift. Add optional enhancements, Semax, DSIP, or NAD+, based on energy, sleep, and cognitive goals. Continue monthly provider check-ins to adjust dosages and protocols as your body evolves.
Every program is personalized. This is simply one example of how the pieces fit together, and your provider will build a plan that’s specific to your body, your goals, and your timeline.
