Peptide therapies involve using short chain amino acids to promote healing, regulate hormones, and provide other health benefits. Some key potential benefits of peptide therapies can include:
There are many different types of peptide compounds available, and each has specific effects and uses. Working with a knowledgeable health provider allows peptides to be matched to individual needs and health goals.
Feeling less energetic, gaining weight, experiencing sexual dysfunction, or having other symptoms may indicate a hormone deficiency requiring prompt evaluation and treatment. Common deficiencies include testosterone deficiency, growth hormone deficiency, and thyroid disorders.
Diagnosis starts with having blood tests to accurately measure hormone levels. The provider then interprets the results and makes personalized treatment recommendations that may include peptides, bioidentical hormones, supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes.
Incorporating peptide therapies often allows lower doses of standard hormones to be equally or more effective. Peptides help modulate and enhance cellular communication for better physiologic balance.
Some key advantages of peptides over other treatments:
Peptides support health both on their own, and by enhancing the benefits of nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and other positive lifestyle practices.
The first step is having a comprehensive evaluation to identify current symptoms, medical history, hormone levels, and health goals. Your provider will then make personalized recommendations about adding peptides, hormones, supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes.
Most peptide compounds are injected subcutaneously, similar to insulin injections for diabetes. Therapy is started conservatively and dosing adjusted based on ongoing evaluations and bloodwork. Support is provided to make self-administration simple and convenient.
Regular follow up evaluations allow for continually optimizing a therapy program to help patients stay healthy, active, and energized.
In addition to peptide therapy, making diet and lifestyle changes allows people to achieve optimal wellness. Key recommendations include:
A comprehensive and integrative approach addresses all aspects of health. Peptides enhance and support sustainable diet, lifestyle and behavior changes that empower lasting wellness.
