Peptides are important messenger molecules in the body that regulate various physiological processes. As we age or due to certain medical conditions, peptide levels can become deficient leading to suboptimal functioning. Some signs and symptoms of peptide deficiencies include:
Restoring optimal peptide levels through injections or other therapies can help alleviate these issues and promote improved wellness.
Some potential benefits of peptide therapy include:
- Increased muscle mass - Enhanced fat burning - Improved exercise capacity - Faster post-workout recovery - Better sleep quality
- Reduced anxiety - Improved mood - Heightened motivation - Sharper focus and concentration
- Strengthened immune system - Younger looking skin - Protects against age-related diseases - Promotes longevity
These benefits may lead to an enhanced quality of life and better health outcomes.
Peptide therapy often utilizes small injections under the skin to deliver active peptides directly into the body. Some key points about the injection process include:
The process to start peptide therapy is straightforward: meet with one of our clinicians, get lab testing done, review results together, then get set up on a personalized peptide treatment program if deemed appropriate.
We strive to make initiating peptide therapy as smooth and convenient as possible for our patients.
To help maximize the results from peptide therapy, here are some lifestyle recommendations:
- Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate activity - Focus on strength training & high intensity interval training - Allow for proper rest and recovery between workouts
- Emphasize lean proteins, vegetables, anti-inflammatory fats - Stay hydrated and minimize alcohol intake - Time nutrients appropriately around workouts
- Develop tools to actively relax like meditation, yoga stretches - Power down electronics 30-60 min before bedtime - Target 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night
Following an active, nutritious, and balanced lifestyle can enhance peptide therapy outcomes. Consult with our clinicians to develop a plan tailored specifically for you.
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research trials for enhancing wound healing and tendon repair when injected into damaged areas. However, more studies are still needed to fully confirm effectiveness and safety for widespread therapeutic peptide injections in humans.
