Weight loss is one of the hardest goals to accomplish. Nothing makes it easy but there are some things that can make it less difficult. Having a team around you for support, obtaining the right resources and education, and providing the right tools along the way can do many great things and increases your chance of success.
Lifestyle changes are of course what it’s all about - and we make sure they are sustainable. The goal isn’t only weight loss, but also weight maintenance! It can be a slow, challenging process but Caravel Health and Dr Green are there to help you achieve success.
Dr. Green is able to help provide the support, the team, the resources, the education, and the tools to help!
Weight Loss and Metabolism Tools
MOTS-c
- Mitochondrial ORF Type C is a peptide originating from mitochondria supporting the maintenance of a healthy metabolism. It has been linked to increased longevity and exhibits promise in enhancing physical performance, diminishing obesity, tackling insulin resistance, and addressing various disease pathways, such as osteoporosis.
- Price is typically $140/cycle
Improves exercise performance
Regulate fat metabolism
Reduction of inflammation
Prevent osteoporosis
Improve blood sugar levels
Reduces inflammation
MOTS-c Research Links
Semaglutide
- A derivative of the naturally occurring GLP-1, a peptide known to lower blood sugar levels and enhance insulin secretion. Trails revealed a total body weight loss percentages achieved were 5.9% at 12 weeks and 10.9% at 26 weeks. Semaglutide has been shown to significantly decrease appetite by delaying gastric emptying and reducing intestinal motility.
- Price is dose dependent, typically $50-$150/month
Lower blood glucose levels
Increase insulin sensitivity
Boost feelings of satiety
Accelerate weight loss
Delays gastric emptying

GLP-1
- A synthetic derivative of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) that has simultaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) functionality as well proven to promote weight loss. At 72 weeks, clinical trials revealed a 15.0% weight reduction with 5 mg weekly doses and a 19.5% weight reduction with 15 mg weekly doses.
- Price is dose dependent, typically $150-$450/month
Lower blood glucose levels
Increase insulin sensitivity
Boost feelings of satiety
Accelerate weight loss
Delays gastric emptying

Phentermine
- An oral medication meant to boost weight loss by working to suppress appetite. It is in a class of medication
- Price is dose dependent, typically $15 - $45/month
Decreases appetite
Increases metabolism
Accelerate weight loss

Retatrutide
- Functions as a triple agonist for GGG, targeting GLP-1 and GIP receptors like traditional GLP-1 agonists while additionally activating the glucagon receptor. Trials reported an average weight loss of 17.5% and 24.4% at 24 and 48 weeks, respectively. This unique interaction boosts glucagon production, facilitating the breakdown of stored fats and glycogen, thereby elevating basal metabolism for sustained fat loss. Its effects on GLP-1 and GIP receptors also contribute to delayed gastric emptying and appetite regulation, presenting a novel perspective in obesity research distinct from conventional GLP-1 agonists.
- Price is dose dependent, typically $300 - $600/month

- Price is dose dependent, typically $15 - $45/month
Decreases appetite
Increases metabolism
