Peptide therapy involves using peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and promote healthy functioning. Some types of peptides used in therapy include:
Peptides act as signal molecules that stimulate cell receptors and tell the cells to perform specific functions. While the peptides themselves are broken down quickly in the body, their effects can last much longer as they kickstart healing and regenerative physiological processes.
Each peptide treatment is specially designed with a particular sequence of amino acids to target certain receptors and biological pathways. That's why there are peptides to address diverse health goals - from enhancing athletic performance, aiding with weight loss, reducing inflammation, improving immune function, supporting injury recovery, or reversing signs of aging.
To provide customized peptide therapy, practitioners conduct lab tests to identify any areas of hormone imbalance, inflammation, or other issues the patient wants to address. They then put together a personalized regimen of peptides, diet, and lifestyle changes tailored to the patient's health goals.
The practitioner monitors the patient's progress through follow-up lab tests and consults to ensure the treatments are providing the desired benefits and adjust protocols as needed.
Many people develop hormonal imbalances with age as glandular function declines. Common issues include low testosterone, elevated cortisol, poor thyroid function, and growth hormone deficiency.
The loss of proper hormonal signalling contributes to low energy, trouble losing weight, loss of sex drive, emotional changes, sleep disruptions, and reduced muscle mass. It also speeds up visible aging processes.
Peptide therapies aim to rebalance key hormones using the body's own regulatory processes. Potential benefits include:
Hormone balancing peptides provide similar benefits to classic hormone therapies using introduced hormones. However, peptides don't overwhelm the body's natural feedback loops and come with less risk of side effects. They encourage regeneration rather than supplementation.
Sermorelin helps stimulate pituitary gland production of human growth hormone. Boosting GH assists fat loss while building lean muscle.
Thymosin Beta 4 is an immune and healing peptide that reduces inflammation which contributes to low testosterone and poor metabolic function.
Kisspeptin signals the body to release sex hormones. It may enhance libido, regulate ovulation, support egg/sperm production, and slow signs of reproductive aging.
Beyond hormone issues, certain peptide sequences have been shown to address specific health conditions:
The unique mechanisms of action of peptides allow for precise activation of healing and regulation exactly where the body needs it.
Due to natural declines in hormone production and rising chronic health issues, more people are experiencing the effects of deficiency syndromes. If left unchecked, deficiencies lead to accelerated aging, loss of vitality, weight gain, and disease development.
That's why prompt testing and early treatment of imbalances with peptide therapy is so important - especially for those experiencing low energy levels, sleep disruption, emotional changes, sexual issues, or unexplained weight fluctuations.
We offer advanced deficiency testing including sex and adrenal hormone panels, thyroid screens, metabolic markers, micronutrient levels, IgG food sensitivity assays, and genomic analyses.
Testing provides objective data on the underlying issues while revealing opportunities for targeted peptide and supplementation treatments.
Our practitioners don't just provide lab orders and initial recommendations. We oversee and adjust complete wellness programs for lasting deficiency resolution and preservation of robust health.
This includes monitoring response to therapies through follow up lab assays, using testing insight to modify approaches, and teaching patients sustainable diet and lifestyle habits.
We also address the mental health aspects of deficiency syndromes which contribute to ongoing vitality and better treatment compliance. Support occurs both in-clinic and virtually through our telehealth platform.
There are important steps we take before, during, and after introducing peptide treatments:
- Comprehensive history, exam, and lab testing to reveal areas for improvement
- Assess treatment goals like performance enhancement, regeneration, longevity, etc.
- Screen for contraindications to peptide therapy
- Choose optimal peptides and dosages based on patient factors
- Combine peptides for synergistic effects on certain pathways
- Develop nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle element of treatment plan
- Follow-up assessments and lab assays to monitor treatment response
- Adjust type and dosage of peptides based on patient feedback
- Modify diet and lifestyle components as needed
- Guidance on sustaining benefits long-term through testing consistency, lifestyle behaviors, and peptide cycling
We personalize peptide therapy throughout the whole process rather than utilizing a templated approach. Attention remains on the patient's changing needs for lasting wellbeing restoration.
While peptides powerfully stimulate healing and regulation activities within the body, certain lifestyle habits work synergistically to help patients achieve their transformation and wellness goals.
Optimizing gastrointestinal function ensures patients properly break down and assimilate nutrients from their diet which are essential for rebuilding vital tissues.
Staying active provides movement to fascia tissue for decreased inflammation while stimulating additional muscle protein synthesis enhanced by peptides.
Controlling stress and getting enough sleep provides an optimal internal environment for cellular repair and metabolic processes enhanced through peptides.
We offer in-depth testing, personalized guidance, and ongoing support in all these areas as part of our complete approach to peptide therapy. Sustainable lifestyle changes work alongside the peptides for greater and longer lasting benefits.
