Peptide therapy involves the use of peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to promote health and fight disease. Some key things to know about peptide therapy:
What are peptides?
What do peptides do?
How are peptides administered?
What conditions can peptide therapy help?
In summary, peptides modulate important biological processes so supplemental doses can enhance wellbeing, slow aging, and support healing.
Some key benefits of peptide therapy include:
These broad effects make peptide therapy helpful for a diverse range of health goals!
To understand peptide therapy, it helps to get familiar with some basic terms and concepts:
Growth hormone peptides like sermorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295 stimulate natural growth hormone production. Benefits: tissue repair, fat loss, muscle gain, mood/energy enhancement.
Immune & gut peptides like LL-37, thymosin alpha-1, BPC-157 support gut health and immune function. Benefits: leaky gut healing, less inflammation, anti-infective actions.
Other classes like collagen peptides aid joint and skin health; carnosine peptides enhance cell functioning. There are specialized peptides for diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and much more!
Peptides can be used individually but a customized combo approach is often best, due to synergistic effects between peptides. The optimal peptide stack depends on the individual's health goals and needs.
Subcutaneous shallow injections, using an insulin needle, are the most common route. injection sites rotate through abdomen, thighs, upper arms. Dose amount and frequency varies amongst peptides. Oral peptides options are also in development.
Working with an experienced medical provider is important to create a tailored peptide therapy protocol. Tracking progress and making dosage adjustments over time helps optimize results!
Since one major use of peptides is to optimize hormone levels, knowing deficiency signs is important for deciding if therapy could help:
Testosterone, the male sex hormone, declines with age. Low testosterone causes:
Testosterone peptide therapy can effectively and naturally restore optimal levels.
Growth hormone (HGH) progressively declines after age 30. Symptoms include:
HGH peptide therapy can counteract somatopause, or age-related growth hormone deficiency.
Thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, and other hormone levels also frequently become suboptimal. Symptoms are diverse but may include:
Comprehensive hormone testing helps identify imbalances. Combining peptide therapy with diet, lifestyle, and micronutrient optimization supports complete hormonal wellness.
Peptide therapy research has uncovered an intriguing link between certain peptides and telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten with age. Studies suggest certain peptides may help maintain or even lengthen telomeres, potentially promoting cellular health and longevity. More research is needed, but it's an unexpected avenue by which peptide therapies could possibly influence aging processes.

Certain diet, lifestyle, and mental health factors make a big difference in peptide therapy outcomes. Here are our top tips for maximizing results:
Reduce Alcohol & Nicotine - These substances dampen peptide effects through impacts on the gut, liver, and endocrine system. Ask us about support for cutting back!
Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Pro-inflammatory foods create gut permeability and hinder peptides' healing capacity. Follow a Mediterranean-style diet - low sugar, gluten/dairy-free, organic, anti-inflammatory fats.
Minimize Stress - Emotional issues like anxiety, lack of work-life balance, and loneliness reduce peptide therapy benefits. Meet with our health coach to address life stresses. Local yoga studios like Peace of Mind Yoga are wonderful too.
Get Lab Testing - Testing biomarkers like DHEA, cortisol, CRP, and vitamins B&D before & during therapy is crucial. We'll outline what to test and when. Nearby labs like AnyTest Laboratory perform affordable panels ordered through our clinic.
Exercise Right - Moderate cardio, low-impact strength training, and active recovery facilitate maximum peptide results. Good local options are OrangeTheory Fitness, local parks, and yoga studios like Downtown Yoga. Avoid excessive exercise that raises stress hormones and inflammation.
Peptides work WITH your lifestyle - not despite it - so address areas like diet, mindset and overexercising for best results. Our team supports patients in making sustainable lifestyle improvements that transform health!
Our patients use peptide therapy for: optimizing hormonal health, enhancing athletic performance, speeding injury recovery, anti-aging & longevity, gut issues and autoimmunity, thyroid problems, fatigue, poor sleep quality, weight loss, diabetes, and much more!
Benefits emerge within days or weeks. Those using peptides for muscle gain or injury repair often notice faster effects. Hormonal balancing and inflammatory conditions may take a few months to optimize. Tracking progress helps us adjust dosing to ensure continual improvements.
When used properly, peptide side effects are rare. Since they mirror natural body chemicals, peptides are quite biocompatible. Occasional issues like injection site redness, headaches, fatigue, and nausea may emerge at the onset of therapy as the body acclimates. Proper protocols minimize occurrence of side effects which typically resolve quickly.
The price varies based on type/number of peptides used, dose amounts, frequency, and length of treatment. Short-term use for sports injury may cost $50-300 per month. Anti-aging HGH protocols average $500-1500 monthly based on individual factors. Pricing is tailored for each patient's needs and budgetary constraints. We look forward to helping you experience the many benefits of peptide therapy.
