Are you seeking a safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being?
We offer a number of exciting peptide treatment programs in our office. Peptide therapies offer a range of benefits, including immune system regulation , weight control and improved body composition, metabolic optimization and improved energy, enhanced wound healing and recovery from injury, anti-inflammatory actions and many other physiologic functional enhancements.
Many people do not realize that many well-known hormones and medications are actually peptides. For example, insulin is a peptide hormone and the first one ever identified.
Peptides are small proteins that act as messengers in the body, helping to regulate various functions. Peptides are naturally occurring and are made by nearly all cells in the body. Over 7000 peptides have been identified in the human body!
Some peptides are FDA-approved medications and are offered as branded products from pharmaceutical companies, while others are considered investigational and FDA-permitted, but not specifically approved. These are generally recognized as safe and are typically very well tolerated and without adverse effects.
The popular weight loss medications, Wegovy/Ozempic(Semaglutide) and Mounjaro/Zepbound(tirzepatide) are actually peptides that are modifications of naturally occurring gastrointestinal peptide hormones. These peptides are “game changers” for many people who have struggled with weight control and metabolism issues but are very expensive and often not covered by health insurance programs or are otherwise difficult to obtain.
We are able to obtain Semaglutide and Tirzepatide through specialized compounding pharmacies at much lower cost than the branded Ozempic and Mounjaro. As such, we are offering a supervised program for weight control and metabolic optimization using these agents, often with added natural supplements. The out of pocket cost is considerably lower than from the standard pharmacies. .
Other popular peptides include the growth hormone secretagogues, such a CJC1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin , and Tesamorelin. These peptides stimulate the body’s own production of growth hormone, which leads to a number of physiologic benefits, including increased energy, better sleep patterns, improved body composition, skin and hair improvements. Human Growth Hormone ( hGH) is popular on the black market, but is illegal to use , except in cases of documented growth hormone deficiency—and there are concerns about its safety with ongoing use. The peptides, which simply stimulate the natural production of hGH is a safe and effective way to enhance natural production, which drops progressively as we age.
We also offer peptides to help with the immune system regulation and are often helpful to address autoimmune problems, general immune system enhancement, wound healing , injury repair , recovery from surgery, and to reduce systemic inflammation.
