Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological signaling molecules, helping the body regulate key functions such as metabolism, inflammation, tissue repair, and cellular communication.
Current research shows that specific therapeutic peptides may support:
As we age, the body’s natural production of many signaling peptides and growth factors gradually declines. This reduction contributes to slower cellular repair, reduced metabolic efficiency, and diminished recovery capacity — often beginning in early to mid-adulthood.
Modern peptide therapy is designed to support the body’s existing biological pathways, helping cells communicate more efficiently and perform their intended functions more effectively. Rather than forcing change, peptides work by optimizing natural processes involved in regeneration, repair, and balance.
Healthy cellular function relies on the ability of cells to:
Peptide therapy is commonly incorporated into personalized longevity and performance programs with the goal of supporting homeostasis, resilience, and long-term wellness.
All peptide treatments should be medically supervised, individually prescribed, and integrated into a comprehensive care plan based on clinical evaluation, laboratory data, and patient goals.
Submit a patient inquiry form for review by our APN, and we will contact you to schedule a consultation, which will consist of:
Insulin was the first commercially-known peptide, introduced in the 1920s. There are currently over 140 peptides used in therapeutic treatments today, and over 500 peptides are currently involved in preclinical development.
Gut health, exercise, sleep, and stress all impact the success of peptide therapy. We recommend optimizing these aspects of your life before/during your treatment cycle to ensure the best success.
Peptides can be recreated synthetically to mimic the signaling process that naturally occurs throughout the body, and can be successful to regulate the following conditions:
Peptides are proteins composed of amino acid chains that occur naturally within the body, which can be chemically synthesized or derived naturally to produce intended therapeutic outcomes. Examples of commonly known peptides include: insulin, oxytocin, semaglutide, and tirzepatide.
There are HUNDREDS of brand-name peptide based medications that exist on the market today, many of which are used for immunotherapy, gastrointestinal concerns, tumor/cancer growth, weight gain, diabetes, and skincare. We offer peptides that are dispensed from compounding pharmacies to assist with cost and availability. The pharmacies purchase raw materials from FDA-registered manufacturers and synthesize the formulas in cleanrooms that are compliant with USP 797 and 800 standards, and test their products with 3rd party labs for potency, sterility, and endotoxin screening.
