Peptide therapy is not focused on outside of brand-name therapies during medical / nursing school, although hundreds of peptides are researched & introduced every year. Many providers are not familiar with therapeutic peptide options that are available, and it is considered more of a functional medicine/holistic approach to healthcare.
Hormone tests are simply a ‘snapshot’ of time, and that should be taken into consideration when discussing lab tests. For women, our menstrual cycle, and certain medications, including oral contraception, can impact hormonal levels. We correlate a patient’s symptoms, medical history, AND lab values when making a treatment plan. As providers, we should always consider treating the PATIENT, and not just the LABS!
Testosterone is a MALE and FEMALE hormone, and deficiency or excess of this hormone can cause symptomatic changes. When used safely and at the lowest, most effective dose, it can assist with a multitude of symptoms in both men and women. Data from the Women’s Health Initiative study from the early 2000s that suggested that HRT causes an increased risk for breast cancer has since been redacted and debunked.
Not all peptides / hormones are injectable! There are capsules, nasal sprays, and transdermal creams available, as not all peptides / hormones require to be injected to be effective.
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.
Due to the length of time spent with each patient, individualized approach to care, continuing education, and training required to offer this specialized service, we do not accept insurance for any consultation or follow-up appointment fees. However, bloodwork or urine sent to a lab of your choosing will be billed through your insurance.
