Peptide therapy utilizes specific peptide compounds to help regulate and optimize hormone levels and biological processes in the body. As we age or deal with certain health conditions, our hormone and peptide levels can become imbalanced, leading to negative symptoms. Peptide injections can help correct these imbalances and deficiencies.
Benefits of peptide therapy include:
There are many types of peptide compounds with a variety of potential effects and uses. Our certified medical providers will determine the ideal peptides based on your lab testing, medical history, and goals.
Many people can benefit from strategic use of peptide therapy to optimize wellness and vitality. Those dealing with age-related decline, obesity, poor sleep, low energy, sexual dysfunction, or other issues caused by hormonal or peptide imbalances can often improve these problems through properly administered peptides.
Good candidates for peptide injections include:
People who lead healthy lifestyles tend to respond very well to peptide therapy. Proper diet, regular exercise, stress management, and other positive health habits create an optimal internal environment for peptides to provide their full benefits.
There are a variety of methods for effectively administering peptide compounds, including subcutaneous injection, oral peptides, nasal sprays, and creams. The most proven delivery method is subcutaneous injection, which our medical providers are experts at.
The dosage amount and injection frequency are tailored to the unique needs and physiology of each patient. Dosing will also depend on which peptides are used and what overall outcomes are desired from treatment. These variables are determined during your initial consultation.
There are many potential reasons why someone’s hormones and peptides could become imbalanced and deficient, including:
As we grow older, our bodies naturally produce fewer youth-promoting hormones like growth hormone and testosterone. Lower levels of these vital peptides lead to undesirable effects of aging.
Lack of proper nutrition, sleep dysfunction, alcohol overuse, chronic stress, lack of activity, and other unhealthy behaviors disrupt hormonal pathways.
Excess fatty tissue soaks up hormones like testosterone and contributes to problems like estrogen dominance. This causes further metabolic dysfunction and makes healthy weight loss extremely difficult.
Various acute and chronic illnesses put stress on the endocrine system. Major injuries, surgeries, and subsequent bed rest can also impact hormone production.
Proper testing helps pinpoint exactly which hormones need optimization for your individual needs. Our clinic uses cutting-edge diagnostic labs for the most accurate results.
There are specific lab tests that provide key data for developing a customized treatment protocol:
Abnormal testosterone status negatively impacts energy, sexual function, muscle mass, motivation and more in both men and women. Estrogen balance is also key.
These vital hormones work synergistically to control lean tissue vs fat accumulation, inflammation regulation, energy levels, metabolism and more.
Low thyroid slows metabolic rate, decreases energy, hinders fat loss, worsens cholesterol, and disturbs sleep quality.
Many are deficient is these key micronutrients necessary for proper endocrine system communication and hormone activity.
Based on a panel of essential lab tests, our providers create tailored peptide therapy protocols to optimize any deficient hormones or peptides.
Certain peptide injections like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for healing ligaments and tendons more effectively than normal. If proven effective in human trials, these peptides could enable faster injury recovery times for athletes and others suffering tendon or ligament tears.
The most common and impactful peptides we prescribe are testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH). Below is some background on these vital therapies.
In both men and women, balanced testosterone levels are crucial for optimal energy, body composition, sexual function, mood motivation and quality of life. Testosterone decreases substantially as we age, causing low testosterone (low T) symptoms including:
Men over 30 lose roughly 1-2% of testosterone production capacity per year. Diagnosing and properly treating low T with peptide therapy provides life-changing benefits for many people.
Growth hormone (HGH) is secreted by the pituitary gland and serves several essential bodily functions:
After age 30, growth hormone production declines steadily at about 15% per decade. Low growth hormone can manifest as increased stubborn fat deposits, decreased muscle mass, low energy, poor injury recovery, and accelerated skin aging.
Strategic use of growth hormone peptides helps turn back time in the aging process for more youthful body composition and vitality.
With countless peptide therapy possibilities, creating proper protocols requires specialist-level expertise. The medical providers at our clinic utilize integrated diagnostics and take detailed health histories to dial in treatment plans with the highest probability of success.
We methodically adjust dosages and recheck lab work during follow-ups to ensure therapies remain optimized. Patience and diligent monitoring leads to the best long-term outcomes.
Implementing positive lifestyle habits creates internal biochemical conditions that allow peptide injections to provide amplified, synergistic benefits:
Exercise – Engaging in regular vigorous exercise stimulates natural hormone production while also enhancing effectiveness of peptide therapy. Our fitness coaches construct regimens tailored to your unique needs.
Healthy Nutrition – Consuming a diet rich in vegetables, quality proteins, healthy fats, and micronutrients provides the raw materials to maximize results from peptide treatment.
Stress Management – Effectively coping with life’s stresses prevents elevated cortisol levels from disrupting endocrine function. Yoga, meditation, massage, and nature immersion all prove helpful.
Quality Sleep – Getting adequate deep sleep allows the body to properly produce hormones and fully recover from activity. Many peptides also stimulate GH release during sleep for added benefit.
