Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a novel medication that is being used to treat a wide range of chronic conditions, including obesity. The chemical structure of naltrexone is very similar to endorphins that are made naturally in the body known as Opioid Growth Factor. LDN works by acting as an antagonist on certain receptors throughout the body, producing an endorphin-like effect. This effect works to reduce a person’s preference for tempting and tasty foods (also known as “food noise”). By acting on these receptors naltrexone also causes a prominent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Because of its powerful anti-inflammatory and longevity effects on a cellular level, LDN continues to be studied as a treatment for autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, mood and sleep disorders, and many other chronic conditions.

We have experienced great success in weight reduction when combining naltrexone with phentermine or with semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss. Since naltrexone has a different mechanism of action from phentermine and semaglutide/tirzepatide, it works great as an add on to boost weight loss results from these medications. LDN has also been found to work on a cellular level to help promote longevity in patients, leading to improvement in other chronic conditions including autoimmune disorders, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, Ask us about adding low dose naltrexone on to semaglutide or tirzepatide today.
