Peptide therapy involves the injection or application of specific peptides to promote health, slow aging, build muscle, reduce inflammation and potentially enhance weight loss. This innovative treatment can provide multiple benefits with few side effects. Here at Wellness Hormone Clinic we offer cutting-edge peptide therapies to help patients address hormone deficiencies, especially as they age.
There are many advantages to peptide therapy over traditional treatments:
Additionally, peptides have been shown to enhance energy, mood, sleep, libido and cognition in those with deficiencies or suboptimal levels. We will delve deeper into specific peptides and recommended protocols shortly. First let's look at why timely diagnosis and optimization of hormone levels is so crucial.
Age-related hormone decline is associated with numerous undesirable effects:
Left unchecked, these declines can seriously impact one's vitality and quality of life. Therefore, identifying and addressing hormone deficiencies earlier rather than later is imperative. Peptide therapy provides a safe, natural way to restore optimal balance, counteract deficiencies, and recapture one's youthful fitness and function.
Here at Wellness Hormone Clinic, we specialize in advanced hormone testing, peptide therapies and protocols optimized to each patient's needs. Benefits of our clinic include:
We also understand the importance of mental health. Our providers evaluate and support emotional wellbeing as part of any treatment plan.
Now let's explore specific peptides we offer, common deficiencies they can address and recommended protocols.
Sermorelin is perhaps our most frequently prescribed peptide due to its safety and efficacy for those with Growth Hormone (GH) decline. Used properly under medical guidance, it can provide transformative improvements in body composition, energy, immunity and general wellbeing.
Growth hormone peaks during adolescence then progressively declines with age. This reduction negatively impacts:
Therefore, optimizing GH levels with sermorelin peptide therapy can reverse many undesirable age-related changes.
Unlike direct GH administration which can increase insulin resistance and blood sugar, sermorelin stimulates the body’s own natural GH production. This restores youthful pulsating release versus less impactful constant elevated levels.
Benefits include:
For individuals over 30 with suspected GH decline, we typically recommend sermorelin dosing of 200-300 mcg injected daily at night or 1000 mcg injected 3 times weekly.
Along with sermorelin, we often suggest:
With sermorelin therapy via our clinic, the vast majority of patients enjoy substantial benefits including better body composition, increased lean muscle mass, better lipid profiles, enhanced immunity, increased energy, more restorative sleep, and an overall greater sense of vitality.
Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring regenerative peptide increasingly used to speed injury recovery and enhance healing. It has numerous promising applications.
Tβ4 promotes the following therapeutic effects:
These mechanisms accelerate healing, decrease pain, speed recovery, and restore function.
Given the above impacts, Tβ4 has been shown to improve recovery in multiple scenarios:
Consequently, we utilize thymosin beta-4 therapy for appropriate patients requiring augmented healing.
For wound healing, we typically prescribe Tβ4 doses of 3-6 mg injected once weekly around injury margins or directly into damaged zones. Depending on healing progress, 4-8 total weekly doses are generally administered.
For systemic injuries such as tendon tears or bone fractures requiring comprehensive repair, we inject 1-2 mg daily or every-other-day dosing until satisfactory healing occurs. We also ensure optimal vitamin D levels and protein intake to support tissue regeneration.
AOD9604 is an innovative weight loss peptide that enhances fat metabolism, suppresses appetite, builds muscle, and may increase lipolysis.
AOD9604 exerts several beneficial mechanisms:
Through these mechanisms, AOD9604 facilitates safe, consistent fat loss and improved body composition.
For optimal effects, we prescribe AOD9604 as follows:
We also carefully monitor body composition using DEXA scans or ultrasound measurements to verify objective fat reductions with muscle gain.
To augment results, we advise all patients to engage in consistent strength training and follow an intelligent nutrition plan while on AOD9604 therapy. These lifestyle components accelerate improvements in physique composition and appearance.
Certain peptide injections like BPC-157 have shown promise in repairing torn ligaments and tendons in animals. Though not yet approved for human use, researchers are investigating whether these peptides could accelerate recovery from sports injuries without surgery in athletes. More research is still needed to fully understand the potential.
CJC-1295 without DAC acts similarly to sermorelin, potently stimulating Growth Hormone release for several hours post injection. However, DAC modification enables sustained, low-level GH release for up to 2 weeks.
Compared to standard CJC variants, benefits of DAC modification include:
These properties make DAC an excellent choice for those desiring profound body recomposition effects with minimal injection frequency.
For those new to CJC-1295 therapy, we typically start with:
For enhanced fat loss, some patients progress to higher doses - 4 to 6 mg injected every 7-14 days. However, we monitor safety parameters closely at these levels given increased GH output.
Like sermorelin, we combine CJC-1295 DAC with exercise, nutrition emphasis, and additional peptide or hormone optimizing agents per an individualized treatment plan.
BPC-157 is an emerging peptide that has shown exceptional healing outcomes, especially in the gastrointestinal system. It may benefit those struggling with gut issues or requiring augmented recovery.
Mechanisms driving results include:
These pathways underlie observed wound healing, tissue repair, gut barrier protection, and therapeutic benefits.
We utilize clinical evidence to guide BPC-157 usage:
Additionally, we ensure optimal protein intake and micronutrient levels when using BPC-157 to facilitate tissue rebuilding.
Summary
We hope this outline has provided you a helpful overview of our leading peptide therapies and how we expertly employ them to enhance deficiencies, resolve health conditions, speed healing, and promote optimal wellness.
