Frequently Asked Questions
Peptides are proteins composed of short–chain amino acids that act as chemical messengers and signalers for very specific functions in your body. Your body utilizes over 7000 peptides, each with a particular action that affects all aspects of health.
As we age, our bodies produce fewer quality peptides, leading to fatigue, weight gain, illness, and other medical issues. Peptide therapy utilizes plant or animal sources to restore these depleted peptides to encourage repair at the cellular level to treat certain medical conditions. Peptide therapy can be delivered by injection, nasal spray, topical creams, and oral medication.
Peptide therapy can help reverse aging, restore vitality, and improve bone density. Peptide therapy involves the use of short–chain amino acids to help restore optimal function of many body functions, including:
• Accelerate healing
• Pain relief
• Weight loss
• Building of lean muscle mass
• Sexual function
- Sermorelin: Sermorelin helps encourage the release of growth hormone
from the pituitary gland into your bloodstream. Sermorelin therapy helps reduce body fat, increase strength and endurance, and builds lean muscle mass. - Ipamorelin: Ipamorelin contains five amino acids that encourage the
natural production of growth hormone. Like sermorelin, ipamorelin helps reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, and boost collagen production. - CJC 1295: CJC 1295 encourages the natural production of growth
hormone and insulin–like growth factor (IGF–1). CJC 1295 helps reduce fat, improve sleep patterns, and increase lean muscle mass. - Thymosin–beta 1: Thymosin–beta 1 helps regenerate and heal tissue
throughout your body. It also helps regulate immune function and
inflammation at the cellular level. - PT 141: PT 141 or bremelanotide works through the nervous system to
help improve erectile dysfunction and female sexual arousal disorder. - BPC 157: BPC 157 helps speed up wound healing and encourages blood
vessel formation. It can help improve mobility, lessen joint pain, and
address digestive issues. - Fluctuating blood sugar
Peptide therapies help optimize declining levels of these amino acids in the body for better health. Peptides occur naturally in your body, so they are well tolerated with virtually no side effects. We often use a combination of peptides for the best outcomes. Peptide administration methods include creams, pills, gels, injections, or pellets.

For many of us, weight loss is a frustrating, losing battle. Effective weight loss in today’s society is no longer a simple calories in, calories out equation.
Moreover, the reason you may have trouble losing weight may not be your fault. Weight gain is a condition that is causes by a perfect storm of many factors– age, lifestyle, stress, genetic, environmental, psychological, and metabolic.
Your weight loss program begins with a detailed consultation and medical history, followed by comprehensive laboratory tests in order to customize your treatment plan. Medical weight loss strategies may include:
• Peptide Therapy
• Supplement recommendations
• Nutraceutical recommendations
• Dietary Counseling
• Food sensitivity testing
• Detoxification strategies
• Prescriptive exercise
• Gastrointestinal health strategies
