We offer advanced health and wellness treatments and new advanced therapies
Did you know that according to the CDC, obesity prevalence in the U.S. increased from 30.5% to 41.9% from 2017-2020? In that same time, the prevalence of severe obesity jumped from just over 4% to over 9%. It only takes a quick glance at these numbers to understand that we have an obesity issue in the United States. That's true for people of all ages, many of whom have tried fad diets and every weight loss regimen under the sun, only to get mediocre results. For older men and women, obesity can be concerning, too, especially when their bodies are going through hormonal changes associated with female and male menopause.
Being overweight has many negative effects on the body. From an aesthetic standpoint, many people hate being overweight because clothes don't fit well, being mobile and active is often hard, and people just seem to stare. From a health and wellness standpoint, however, the consequences of obesity are much worse. Some overweight people must face life-changing problems such as:
For people who have been struggling with their weight for years, it can seem like no help is available. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, with innovative weight loss solutions like peptide therapy for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN.
LX Medical's weight loss program has helped numerous patients achieve their weight loss goals, live a healthy life, and enjoy total well-being for years. At LX Medical, we believe that weight loss shouldn't be centered around a one-size-fits-all mentality. Our doctors and practitioners create custom weight loss programs that are tailored to your unique body, rather than creating plans based off of someone matching your age or weight. With our team's support, you can achieve real results and start living life without the extra pounds.
That's important in the modern world, where maintaining good health and fitness has become more important than ever. Research has shown that viruses and diseases are more likely to affect people who are overweight and unhealthy. Unfortunately, there are many "miracle" supplements and unhealthy diet plans that mislead people into thinking that weight loss is not beneficial. Furthermore, weight loss "experts" often offer unstructured and unsupervised programs that do more harm than good.
At LX Medical, we prioritize the well-being of our patients when it comes to weight loss. Our approach is patient-centric, focusing on personalized treatments. Our doctors first evaluate your lifestyle habits, and we work with you to replace negative patterns with positive, personalized lifestyle changes. This is crucial for achieving optimal wellness and weight loss. Benefits of losing weight include:
However, losing weight is only the beginning. To keep weight off permanently, adopting a healthy, active lifestyle is essential. At LX Medical, we help you achieve this by implementing manageable, positive lifestyle changes that jumpstart your weight loss journey. By making healthy behaviors a part of your daily routine, you can achieve your weight loss goals and become the best version of yourself.
One of the most successful treatments we offer to help patients shed pounds safely is peptide therapy for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN. In fact, peptides for weight loss, such as semaglutide (also known as Ozempic and Wegovy, MOTS-C,) and AOD-9604, have been proven to be effective and have helped countless men and women live life at a healthy weight.
Consisting of amino acids, peptides help regulate the biological processes and functions in your body. As the building blocks of protein, they are crucial for your overall health. Unfortunately, however, many men and women suffer from peptide deficiency. Peptide therapy gives your body the peptides it needs, improving your ability to:
Peptide therapy is often used alongside other treatment plans from LX Medical, such as our custom weight loss plans. That's where peptides like semaglutide and AOD-9604 come into play.
Peptide therapy is often used to boost hormones and support our total well-being. Different types of peptides can target different areas of our health. For example, some collagen peptide supplements can help make our skin, hair, and gut healthier. Other peptides, like semaglutide and AOD-9604, can help facilitate healthy weight loss.
Peptide therapy works in a different way than vitamin supplements. When we take a multivitamin for our hair, skin, and nails, our body must absorb the nutrients. But sometimes, our body can't absorb all the nutrients, so they just leave our body through our urine. Peptides, on the other hand, are part of the proteins in our bodies, making them easier to benefit from and absorb.
But what about peptide therapy for weight loss? The truth is there are various peptides that have different effects, including some that facilitate weight loss. However, weight loss is a nuanced process that involves multiple factors such as diet, exercise, age, genetics, and lifestyle. While peptides can assist you in achieving your weight loss goals, they are most effective when combined with improvements like a healthier diet, more frequent exercise, and better life choices. If you've tried various weight loss plans and diets, but haven't had any success, peptides like semaglutide and ADO-9604 may be the extra boost you need to experience true weight loss.
A recent study in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism found that people who used peptides in conjunction with a weight loss plan experienced incredible results. More specifically, patients reported a 14% reduction in body fat on average. Two of the most popular peptides for weight loss also happen to be FDA-approved and, when appropriate, part of your weight loss journey with LX Medical.
Those peptides are semaglutide and AOD-9604 and are touted for their therapeutic benefits and long-term safety profile. If you're looking for a little extra help to lose weight and keep it off for good, peptide therapy for weight loss could be for you.
Looking to shed some pounds and keep them off for good? Diet and exercise are crucial, but for busy adults and parents, sticking to a routine is easier said than done. If you need extra help losing weight, consider semaglutide. This injection, approved by the FDA for diabetes and obesity, can stimulate GLP-1 receptors in the brain to aid in quicker weight loss and long-term health.
Semaglutide works in several ways. First, it acts as glucagon in your body, which helps tell your brain that you're full and don't need to eat anymore. Secondly, it slows down the time it takes for food to transit out of your stomach. This process reduces unnecessary eating and snacking throughout the day. Perhaps more importantly, it reduces glucose spikes after you eat, which causes a litany of issues like inflammation.
Semaglutide also helps your pancreas secrete insulin while making you insulin sensitive. This regulates glucose levels in your body and how your body metabolizes that glucose. Additionally, by reducing inflammation in your body, you benefit from powerful anti-aging and longevity properties.
When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, semaglutide can provide:
Unlike other weight loss clinics, at LX Medical, you can enjoy the benefits of semaglutide from the comfort of your office or home. Injections are administered once a week. Once you've met your weight loss goals, you can reduce your intake to a minimum dose for additional positive effects like ongoing weight management. You can also quit taking semaglutide entirely. If you opt to stop, our medical weight loss team can chat with you about other types of peptide therapy for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN.
This peptide, which is often used in conjunction with semaglutide regimens, stimulates the breakdown of fat while inhibiting lipogenesis and supporting your tendons and cartilage. It has grown in popularity because of its ability to boost your metabolism, which helps burn fat. What's great about AOD-9604 is that it stimulates the pituitary gland but does not affect tissue growth or blood sugar. Perhaps most impressive is that this peptide can burn fat without you feeling the need to overeat as a result.
In fact, AOD-9604 activates your body's fat-burning processes using its own unique mechanism without needing an HGH receptor. It also releases obese fat cells and reduces new fat cell accumulation. One of the most notable benefits of AOD-9604 is its ability to regulate blood sugar and manage insulin levels, which can lead to reduced inflammation and weight loss. Additionally, AOD-9604 can aid in building muscle, similar to growth hormones. Its benefits extend beyond fat loss, as it contains regenerative properties that may be beneficial for individuals with various conditions, such as:
With the ability to reduce fat that is stored in your abdominal region, this weight-loss peptide is very popular for older people with stubborn belly fat. It is also often used by people who have tried other diets and weight loss plans but had little or no success.
At LX Medical, our doctors offer a range of peptide therapies for your health and well-being. Peptides like semaglutide and AOD-9604 are often used as part of a comprehensive peptide therapy plan, crafted by LX Medical specialists for your body. If you're interested in losing weight, gut health peptides like BPC-157, Thymulosin Alpha, Thymulosin Beta, and GHK-Cu can be incredibly beneficial along your weight loss journey.
This naturally occurring peptide, sometimes called the "Body Protection Compound," is secreted in your gut and helps repair its lining. It works by helping your body be in a constant state of restoration and repair, providing powerful anti-inflammatory effects. This process helps with issues like:
When it comes to losing weight, BPC-157 is often included in peptide therapy for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN, because it can help reduce pain and inflammation resulting from new or increased exercise efforts. As noted previously, exercise and diet are key in long-term weight loss, and BPC-157 can make those efforts easier.
This peptide is injected once a day, with courses ranging from 30 to 60 days. After you finish the injection course, consider BPC-157 oral supplements to maintain its benefits.
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a powerful immune system modulator that helps you resist infections, illnesses, and disease. By naturally stimulating T cells to locate and eliminate viruses, bacteria, and even tumor cells, this peptide prompts your body to respond to these invasive organisms, making your immune system naturally stronger and more effective.
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Thymosin Alpha-1 in regulating immunity and inflammation related to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and other conditions. Recent clinical studies have also shown promising results in using this peptide to fight lung, colon, breast, and other types of cancer. By reducing inflammation in your body and enhancing your immune system, you can optimize your body as you lose weight with the help of LX Medical.
Patients inject this peptide every day for two weeks and then continue three times a week for 2.5 months.
Thymosin Beta-4 is a peptide consisting of 43 amino acids that is known to promote healing in the body and has anti-inflammatory properties. It occurs naturally in higher concentrations at injury sites and is a water-soluble protein that can regulate cell migration to a site. It is also very good at repairing tissue damage. The substance is not only beneficial for wound healing and skin repair but can also aid in the repair of the brain, spinal cord, and heart. Medical professionals consider Thymosin Beta-4 to be a safe and potent substance in both its natural and synthetic forms.
Like its Alpha counterpart, this peptide can be beneficial for individuals undergoing weight loss, and can help reduce the inflammation and pain associated with exercising and more.
Patients inject this peptide every day for two weeks and then continue three times a week for 2.5 months.
Research suggests that GHK-CU functions as a feedback signal when tissue damage occurs. This peptide is effective in shielding damaged tissue, reducing inflammation, and replacing scarred tissue with healthy tissue. Although further research is necessary to determine its effectiveness on a larger scale, GHK-CU has already been proven to play a role in wound healing and inflammation reduction. Like other peptides for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN, GHK-Cu supports your gut health and weight loss efforts by lowering inflammation in your body, which often happens from changes to your diet or exercise regimens.
Patients should take this peptide for 20-30 days, especially when used for wound healing or as part of a more robust peptide therapy package.
At LX Medical, we're proud to make better care possible.
We are a physician-led team of doctors, nurses, and health experts, advised by a panel of top healthcare leaders who are revolutionizing the power of house calls. In fact, all of our peptides for weight loss in St Louis Park, MN, can be applied in your home or office without having to wait in long lines or uncomfortable waiting rooms.
We offer exceptionally robust and personalized weight loss plans for patients who can't seem to lose extra weight. To do so, we use innovative weight loss medications such as semaglutide and AOD-9604. To supplement our patient's success, we bring with us advanced diagnostic technology, IV fluids, and medications, with access to outpatient imaging and lab centers. Unlike some weight loss centers, we only staff highly-trained medical professionals and advanced practice providers with experience and compassion.
Are you sick and tired of the way that you look and feel every day? Is your health getting out of control? Are you ready to break out of your cage and lose weight the right way? If you're ready to begin your journey to weight loss success, our team is here to guide you along the way. Contact LX Medical today to get started.

When a truck hit the sign outside Honey & Rye bakery in St. Louis Park, it mangled the word "bakehouse," which was printed on an arrow pointing to the flaky, buttery wares inside.
Owner Anne Andrus decided not to bother fixing it. If anything, the arrow just needs to turn a little to the right: the bakehouse portion of Honey & Rye has moved down the street to a new production facility that, fortunately, has a small shop attached.
That bakehouse, which opens this weekend, is only a 3-minute walk from the flagship, a happy accident. Sweets lovers get to benefit.
"The whole thing was production space, first and foremost," said Andrus. She took over a building that used to house Judith McGrann & Friends, a clothing store, with plans to turn it into a larger kitchen that could handle the output of Honey & Rye's already at-capacity wholesale orders. A classroom would be the second component.
But the city of St. Louis Park wanted this Excelsior Boulevard storefront to house a customer-focused business "so people could come in and keep walkability, which I totally get and appreciate," Andrus said. "So that presents the issue that we're here," in the new pink-and-green shop, "and here," she said, pointing out the window to the first bakery just a small strip mall away.
Operating neighboring bakeries posed a conundrum, but it turned out to be a lucky problem to have. When loyal customers rely on you for their favorites, it gets tricky for a baker to try new things.
But at bakehouse, anything goes.
The sun-streaked pastry shop's tightly curated display offers colorful new treasures. You'll find a humble cereal bar, one of Andrus' favorite things to make at home. Here, it's a doctored-up version dusted with powdered dried strawberries.
There are cake slices, which never took off at Honey & Rye when it opened a decade ago. Current flavors: carrot cake with tahini buttercream (it's a peanut-free facility), and chocolate with pistachio streusel. There's a gluten-friendly almond flour brownie and two kinds of brioche buns, one filled with strawberry pastry cream and topped with strawberry-rose glaze; the other maritozzi, Roman cream puffs filled with lemon curd or poppy seed cream.
The menu will change seasonally, and the starting lineup also includes some familiar items — with a twist. Honey & Rye's famous morning bun skips the usual sprinkling of sugar, instead wrapping delicate croissant dough around sun-dried tomato spread from Dervish Mazza. Its beloved chocolate chip cookie swaps dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate, and folds in walnuts and a hit of orange blossom.
It's daring to take your hallmarks and rewrite the recipe.
"We really are trying to fill a need for bakers to continue to be excited by the day-to-day, because it's such a repetitive thing. Like the banana bread, you have to have the same thing," Andrus said. "Everyone's first question is 'What's your signature?' and they come back for it over and over. But then you think about the people behind it."
The new shop gives her staff the opportunity to unleash their creativity, all while still turning out the classics — in a larger, more comfortable kitchen. Andrus hopes to have baking classes up and running later this year.
A corner will be devoted to retail, once a few more shelves go up. For now, there are those Dervish Mazza spreads, and grab-and-go overnight oats and chia pudding. There's no indoor seating, but some outdoor furniture is still to come.
The coffee program is another reinvention. There's no espresso machine, just drip coffee and nitro cold press (from Brooklyn Center roaster Tiny Footprint) spiked with floral and fruity syrups that are also used in housemade Italian sodas. Cafe manager Grace McKeon designed the drinks.
The creative freedom that comes with an all-new bakery "has made me even more creative somehow," McKeon said. "I'm loving it."
The whimsical new food and drink menu matches the whimsical new shop, with its clean, symmetrical lines, lots of "millennial pink" and pops of red, and a tiger logo — their tagline is "wildly delicious" — complete with colorful tiger-themed wallpaper in the bathroom. "Kind of a little bit of a Wes Anderson feel," Andrus said.
Bakehouse: Now in soft-open mode, grand opening May 6. Hours, to start, are 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Wed.-Sun. 4615 Excelsior Blvd., St. Louis Park, bakehousemn.com

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. — With hundreds of fans in attendance at the Recreation Outdoor Center in St. Louis Park on Saturday morning, the Minnesota Wild managed to entertain at their annual outdoor practice while still getting some meaningful work in ahead of the West Coast road trip.
After giving his players Friday off to recharge the batteries, coach Dean Evason asked them to push themselves on Saturday, even if the environment was atypical of a practice at TRIA Rink in downtown St. Paul. That’s exactly what he got during a spirited 30-minute practice.
“The fans create a lot of energy with the kids screaming,” Evason said. “It’s a fun day, for sure.”
Most of the practice centered on work in the offensive zone after the Wild failed to score a goal in a recent 4-0 loss to the Seattle Kraken. They are hoping to turn things around with games against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks in Southern California next week before a rematch with the Kraken in Seattle.
“We could’ve played a game at the end or something like that. We didn’t do that,” Evason said. “We wanted the guys to be businesslike and go about their work and get their legs going and their minds going. We had great energy today. We asked them to push themselves and we thought we got that out of them.”
No doubt winger Jordan Greenway was the most notable player participating in the outdoor practice.
After missing the past few games with an upper-body injury, Greenway appears to be getting close to returning to the lineup. He skated alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy, and Evason said Greenway will likely make his return either on the front end or back end of the back-to-back with the Kings and Ducks.
“We’ve got to see how he feels tomorrow and then he’ll get one more skate,” Evason said. “Honestly, our thought process is maybe a back-to-back is a little much at first. We will see. If he plays the first game, then maybe. If not, he’ll play the second game hopefully.”
Asked why the Wild are going to be cautious with Greenway next week, Evason replied, “I don’t care what the injury is, it’s difficult. We don’t want to throw him too much.”
It sounds as if winger Marcus Foligno could also make the West Coast road trip. He skated by himself on Saturday morning and is getting healthier after missing the past couple of games with an upper-body injury.
“We will see how he comes out of that,” Evason said. “He possibly could be coming with us.”
As for winger Ryan Hartman and Brandon Duhaime, both out with upper body injuries, neither will travel with the team.

The West End area in St. Louis Park is seeing an increase in foot traffic and business growth, as other downtown areas in the Twin Cities are working to rejuvenate areas that used to thrive.
Some are calling it new beginnings for West End.
In St. Louis Park, foot traffic is picking up and businesses are taking notes.
“Recently we’ve been seeing the area kind of coming back to life,” Brittan Neiderhiser, Urban Wok St. Louis Park co-owner, said.
That made it the perfect place for the Neiderhiser’s to open up their first restaurant, Urban Wok.
“Our food is delicious. It’s also very healthy. We have a lot of gluten-free and vegan options as well,” Travis Neiderhiser, Urban Wok St. Louis Park co-owner, said. “Stir fry it’s a Chinese traditional way of cooking but a very healthy way of cooking.”
The couple opened their doors in West End in August.
They said a key ingredient to their success is simple — more people.
“Monday through Friday the lunch rushes are there because of a lot of the corporate offices around and the weekend evenings are getting a little bit busier,” Travis said.
City officials explained all the elements in the West End were designed to work together.
“This area was envisioned that it would be a live work play area that’s vibrant 18 hours a day,” Greg Hunt, St. Louis Park economic development manager, said. “I think we pretty much nailed it.”
But it wasn’t always vibrant.
When the pandemic hit, customers saw many storefronts go dark.
“It was dead. A lot of it looked like buildings over there with papers on the wall,” Davis Weinmen, who works in West End, said. “It’s nice to see it rejuvenated.”
But now, city officials said the vibrancy is coming back.
The 10 West End Class office building is approaching full occupancy so they’re expanding in the area.
A new six-story apartment building is being built on Wayzata Boulevard home to over 200 units.
The Shops at West End is also home to the MinnesoThai Street Food Festival and Twin Cities Film Fest, as well as Polestar, one of two electric vehicle showrooms in the Midwest for the company.
“We’ve been very pleased with the amount of economic activity that the west has generated,” Hunt said.
Since West End opened in 2009, more than $400 million has been invested in various retail, office and multifamily developments within The West End area, according to city officials.
Since 2000, St. Louis Park’s population has increased by approximately 14%.

Betty Kohn was one of the first to nab the townhouses near Twin Lakes Park in St. Louis Park when they went up for sale in the mid-1980s. She was able to get an end unit and have a hand in how the interior was designed.
The result was a residence with soaring ceilings, high-quality finishes as well as public and private spaces, including ones that could easily accommodate guests.
"How the rooms were configured was done with an architect," said her daughter Shelly Horowitz. "She wanted a vaulted ceiling, and eat-in kitchen and formal dining room. … The dining room became a place for Friday night dinners with the family."
Off of main gathering spaces, a cozy den that includes a gas fireplace was put in, with a library and a built-in desk nook just off to the side.
Downstairs, a "mini-apartment" became a place where family and friends could settle in for extended stays. With a kitchenette, living room, bedroom and bathroom, the lower-level walkout allowed for practically independent living. At one point, it even became a multi-generational living space.
"We lived downstairs for eight years," Horowitz said. "It was great for me, my husband and two small children."
Now, after 37 years, the family has listed the three-bedroom, four-bath, two-plus-story walk-out tucked in the Princeton Court Townhomes community.
"My mother is 91 and is downsizing," Horowitz said. "This condo is 3,075 square feet and too big for where she is in her life right now."
The house also includes a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a jetted tub in the bathroom.
Granite countertops and a double oven can be found in the kitchen. The fireplace in the den features a marble surround.
"My mother has great taste," Horowitz said. "It's definitely got a glam to it."
One of the home's best features is the location — an end unit that lends itself to ample natural light. The row of townhouses also overlooks a pond, which was especially enjoyable from the open-air deck off the kitchen or the screened porch off the dining room.
"It's beautiful with the blooming trees and ducks swimming in the pond," she said.
Listing agent Sheri Fine added that the location allows for easy access to nearby parks, Cedar Lake and the Shops at West End. The location is also a hop, skip and jump away from thoroughfares such as Interstate 394, Hwy. 100 and Hwy. 5.
"It's super convenient within St. Louis Park but also if you're trying to get to other areas outside of that," Fine said. "It's quick access to all these major arteries."
Sheri Fine (SheriFine@edinarealty.com; 612-720-2442) has the $595,000 listing.
