There are many types of peptides with different benefits, ranging from boosting growth hormone to burning fat to healing damaged tissue.

If you’re considering peptide treatment, you likely have questions about what to expect. Below we describe a typical patient’s experience step-by-step:
Initial consultation During a thorough consultation, we’ll listen to your health goals and refine which peptides may be indicated. We’ll also examine your diet, lifestyle habits, medical history and more for clues into optimizing your custom regimen.
Diagnostic testing Based on your case details, we may run targeted lab tests to pinpoint peculiarities like inflammation markers, nutrient/mineral deficiencies hormonal imbalances. Catching these issues early allows us to fine tune your treatment accordingly.
Personalized peptide package With testing insights in hand, our medical team deliberates to engineer a protocol of peptides, specialty nutrients and lifestyle tips tailored to your objectives.
Quick & easy injections Administering peptides is a simple in-office process involving small injections under the skin using an ultra-fine needle. The procedure takes just a few minutes. Most patients describe it as virtually painless.
Follow up & monitoring We schedule follow up visits to monitor your response, make dosage adjustments if needed and ensure you’re staying on track with healthy habits that amplify peptide benefits. We’re always accessible if any issues arise between appointments.
Lifestyle optimization We firmly believe sustaining a healthy lifestyle is key to successful peptide therapy. So we offer nutritional guidance, fitness recommendations like local walking trails/parks and teach stress relief practices along with your injections. Small improvements make a big impact!
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids to regulate bodily functions and treat diseases, and while still experimental in some applications, certain peptides show promise in battling obesity by reducing appetite and calorie intake with very few side effects.
Achieving and preserving balanced hormones is foundational for energy, strength, metabolism,immunity, sexual performance and whole body wellness. When certain hormones decline, we feel and look older as our body chemistry drifts out of sync.
Peptide treatment counteracts hormone deficiency gently and precisely while avoiding side effects common to synthetic replacements. Our integrative approach measures struggling hormones - including growth hormone, thyroid, testosterone, estrogen and cortisol - then artfully blends peptides to revive them to youthful function.
Balanced hormones also lift mood, ease anxiety/depression and sharpen mental focus. Patients often report feeling more positive, motivated and “like my old self again” after starting peptides.
