peptide therapy

Peptide therapy uses small chains of amino acids to stimulate specific biological processes in the body, such as healing, metabolism, hormone regulation, and anti-aging. Peptides are naturally occurring and can be administered via injections, nasal sprays, or oral capsules.

 We offer the following peptides:

• BPC-157 – Supports tissue healing, gut health, and reduces inflammation.
• CJC-1295 – Enhances growth hormone production for muscle growth and recovery.
• PT-141 – Improves libido and sexual health for both men and women.
• Tesamorelin – Boosts metabolism, aids in fat loss, and supports growth hormone production.
• Tirzepatide – A GLP-1 receptor agonist that supports weight loss and blood sugar regulation.
• Semaglutide – A GLP-1 peptide that promotes weight loss, appetite control, and improved metabolic function.

 Peptides can be administered in different forms, including:

• Subcutaneous injections (most common)
• Nasal sprays
• Oral capsules (for specific peptides)

Peptide therapy is generally safe when used under medical supervision. However, like any treatment, it may have potential side effects, including nausea, fatigue, injection site irritation, or mild allergic reactions.

 Yes, lab work is required before starting peptide therapy to ensure safety and proper treatment planning. Labs include: 

• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Lipid Panel
• IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1)
• Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3)
• Testosterone (Total & Free)
• Estradiol (E2) (for hormonal balance)
• Cortisol (AM Level)
• Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c)

 Results vary based on the individual and the peptide being used:

• BPC-157: May show improvement in tissue healing and inflammation within 2-4 weeks.
• CJC-1295: Growth hormone production effects may take 3-6 months.
• PT-141: Libido enhancement can be noticed within hours to days of administration.
• Tesamorelin: Fat loss effects may become noticeable within 3-6 months.
• Tirzepatide & Semaglutide: Weight loss results can begin within 2-4 weeks and continue progressively over several months.

Yes! Peptides like Tesamorelin, Tirzepatide, and Semaglutide support metabolism and fat loss by enhancing growth hormone levels, regulating insulin sensitivity, and controlling appetite. Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are specifically designed to reduce hunger and help regulate blood sugar levels for sustained weight loss.

 Side effects vary depending on the peptide used, but common ones include:

• BPC-157: Mild nausea, dizziness, or flushing.
• CJC-1295: Water retention, headache, or tingling in extremities.
• PT-141: Facial flushing, nausea, or slight increase in blood pressure.
• Tesamorelin: Increased appetite, tingling sensation, or mild swelling.
• Tirzepatide & Semaglutide: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience any persistent issues, contact your provider.

 No, peptide therapy is typically not covered by insurance, as many peptides are considered elective or used off-label.

 For best results, consider implementing:

• Healthy diet: High-protein, whole foods, and balanced macronutrients.
• Regular exercise: Strength training & cardio to support muscle growth and fat loss.
• Proper hydration: Drink enough water, especially for peptides affecting metabolism.
• Consistent sleep: At least 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night.
• Stress management: Reducing stress supports overall hormonal balance.

Yes, you can discontinue peptide therapy at any time. However, for optimal benefits, it’s recommended to follow a consistent treatment plan under medical supervision.
