What it is
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. Your body naturally makes many peptides, including hormones like insulin, and they act as messengers that help regulate things like appetite, tissue repair and energy use.
Peptide therapy uses specific peptides to support these natural signals. Because everyone's goals and health history are different, treatment is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
How it can help
Depending on your plan, peptide therapy may support:
- Weight management, alongside healthy eating and activity
- Energy and vitality
- Recovery after exercise and activity
- Healthy aging
- Overall wellness
What to expect
Peptide therapy starts with a consultation to talk through your goals, your health history and any medications you take. If it's a good fit, you'll get a personalized plan that explains what's involved and how your progress will be followed.
Good to know
Peptide therapy isn't right for everyone. It's generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some peptides can interact with medications or health conditions, which is why a careful review of your health comes first. Results vary from person to person, and peptide therapy is not a substitute for care from your primary healthcare provider.
