Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked together. Many play critical messaging roles in cells throughout the body. Though small, their effects can be powerful. Synthetic peptide injections basically send signals to stimulate helpful processes already occurring in the body.
Peptide injections are given just under the skin using an ultra-fine needle. The peptides absorb into the bloodstream and travel to target tissues. Then they bind to specific cell receptors to trigger activities like tissue repair, hormone production, immune response and more depending on the type of peptide.
Some benefits of peptides for health promotion and disease prevention include:
The range of possible benefits continues to expand as we learn more about peptides. Our providers stay on top of the latest advancements.
There are many peptide compounds available. The most common injectable peptides we use include:
CJC-1295 - Stimulates natural growth hormone production to increase muscle mass and burn fat. Helps create a more youthful metabolism.
Ipamorelin - Growth hormone secretagogue that builds muscle, loses fat and fights inflammation without side effects. Safe for long-term use.
BPC-157 - Heals leaky gut, reduces joint pain and facilitates injury repair. Helpful for recovery from surgery or sports injuries.
AOD-9604 - Activates metabolism to burn more fat, especially around the belly. Suppresses appetite to support weight loss goals.
Thymosin Beta-4 - Speeds up recovery and regeneration of injured or damaged tissues. Also improves immune defenses.
Sermorelin - The most popular natural growth hormone stimulant. Boosts energy, muscle growth, brain function and metabolism.
Tesamorelin - Growth hormone peptide that reduces abdominal fat while building lean muscle mass. Excellent for enhancing fitness.
When prescribed and administered correctly under medical guidance, peptide therapy is very safe for most people. Side effects are rare at standard doses. Bloodwork helps set appropriate dosing.
Some clients do report mild redness or itching at the injection site. Using sterile technique minimizes risk of any localized reaction. We teach self-injection techniques for convenience at home.
Many doctors focus only on bringing hormones within “normal” range, but optimal wellness usually requires higher levels. We maximize your hormones for peak performance while still staying safe.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically similar to those your body produces naturally. They are derived from plant sources and custom-formulated to match human hormones at the molecular level. This allows the body to easily recognize and use these hormones. They Adaptogen precisely dosed to restore optimal levels based on your lab work and symptoms.
Getting hormones in balance with bioidentical therapy can:
In both men and women, hormone imbalance is a major influence on many unwanted signs of aging. Restoring youthful hormone levels helps reverse this.
Bioidentical hormones have an excellent safety profile when properly dosed and monitored by an experienced medical provider. Potential side effects like fluid retention, acne or emotional swings may signal adjusting the dosage is needed until balance is achieved.
Bloodwork helps ensure you receive adequate treatment while avoiding excessive hormones. If side effects occur, the dosage can be modified until optimal wellness is restored.
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA regulate a woman’s vitality. Imbalances contribute to unpleasant menopause symptoms. Our therapies safely reduce hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, low sex drive, anxiety, fatigue and bone loss using bioidentical hormones. Custom treatment plans improve sleep, mood, energy, femininity, sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life.
In men deficient testosterone causes low energy, reduced strength and endurance, cloudy thinking, depressed mood, erectile dysfunction and other problems. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) using bioidentical hormones restores optimal levels of testosterone and other crucial hormones like DHEA to make men look better, feel stronger and perform at their peak no matter their age.
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for healing injuries, reducing inflammation, and protecting organs, though more evidence is still needed to confirm effectiveness and safety for human use. The versatility of peptides is opening up new possibilities for therapeutic applications.
The first step is getting accurate baseline hormone measurements through bloodwork. This guides precise treatment plans. Ongoing testing lets us continually adjust dosages to keep your hormones balanced perfectly.
Our wellness plans ensure hormone therapy achieves maximum benefits while staying safe. We teach you to self-administer your bioidentical hormones at home for convenience following a simple process you quickly master.
We check testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, IGF-1, cortisol and other hormones using state-of-the-art testing methods. Getting the full picture is crucial, as hormone balance is very intricate - when one hormone is off, others are inevitably impacted.
Comparing current and optimal levels highlights which hormones need support. Testing also uncovers influential lifestyle factors like stress, nutrition and activity. Adjusting these catalyzes hormone therapy benefits exponentially.
Hormone levels fluctuate daily. We retest bloodwork around 6 weeks into your therapy to ensure you’re responding as expected. Adjusting dosages may be needed to attain fine-tuned balance. This determines long-term therapy needs for sustainably high vitality.
We customize plans based on your:
Therapies combine peptide injections, bioidentical hormones, nutrition and activity guidance for comprehensive healing.
