Medical Weight Loss Peptides: What To Know

What Is Medical Weight Loss and How Does the Program Work?
Medical weight loss uses FDA-approved peptide medications that work with your body’s natural hormone pathways to regulate appetite, metabolism, and blood sugar. These treatments help you feel satisfied sooner, reduce hunger cues, and support steady, sustainable fat loss. At Coachlight, each plan is customized to your goals, medical history, and lifestyle.
Complimentary Consultation: Your experience begins with a free consultation where your provider reviews your health history, explains how peptide injections work, and confirms whether this approach is right for you.
First Eight Weeks: Your initial eight-week phase includes weekly peptide doses and structured support.
- Your first dose is administered in the clinic after measurements and orientation.
- The next seven doses can be self-administered at home with guidance from your provider.
- You receive clear instructions on nutrition, lifestyle habits, and what to expect during treatment.
At your eighth-week visit, your provider evaluates your progress and outlines your next steps.
Long-Term Weight Management: After the first phase:
- Continue weekly dosing if you want to lose additional weight.
- Shift to a maintenance dose if you have reached your goals.
- Begin tapering once long-term stability is reached.
Benefits of Medical Weight Loss and What Makes Our Program Different
Medical weight loss offers more than short-term changes. Peptide therapy supports steady, predictable fat loss by improving appetite control, slowing gastric emptying, and stabilizing blood sugar. Guests often experience better energy, improved confidence, and a stronger sense of well-being while receiving structured oversight from experienced medical professionals.
Clinical research shows that dual peptide medications produce stronger results than single-agent options. Coachlight offers dual peptide therapy to give guests the most effective medical weight loss solution available.
Along with treatment benefits, Coachlight’s program is designed to deliver a better experience from start to finish.
- Flat-rate monthly pricing after the first two months
- Weekly check-ins and continued communication
- Medical oversight at every stage
- A personalized plan created for sustainable, long-term success

First Visit and 8-Week Initial Dose
During the first appointment & dose, you will be weighed, have your body measurements taken, review best lifestyle practices and expectations while taking these treatments, and your provider will administer your first dose. Our Weight Management program is offered in a series of eight once-a-week treatments, and the convenience offered is that after your first dose, the subsequent seven doses can be taken home with you and administered by you every week. After completing your final (eighth) dose, you will visit our office for a follow-up to review your weight management results and determine the next steps, whether you continue with additional treatments, and the provider will determine appropriate dosage adjustments.
Your first visit sets the tone for your entire experience. Your subsequent check-ins are designed to assess how well your body is responding and whether your current dose is maximizing fat loss without unwanted side effects. Our Des Moines and Ankeny weight loss teams are always available for guidance, ensuring you stay on track throughout your treatment.
Maintenance Dosing & Continued Weight Management Objectives
After completing the initial 8 weeks of weight management treatments, you and your provider will review your progress and long-term weight management goals. If you want to maintain your current weight, please expect a recommendation that you continue treatments at a maintenance dose with an overall goal of tapering down your dose level, and eventually entering a scenario where you no longer need/want to receive weekly treatments. If you want to lose additional weight, your provider will make a continued weekly dosage plan and recommendation.
Our focus on sustainable weight management means your journey doesn’t stop after the initial 8 weeks. Whether you continue at a maintenance dose or increase to reach your goals, your Coachlight provider will customize your plan to fit your needs. We also offer access to additional wellness services such as body contouring, hormone optimization, and VISIA skin analysis. These help you continue progressing toward a healthier, more confident you—with ongoing support from Iowa’s top weight loss professionals.
