Peptide Therapy
Peptide Treatments- What They Do
Peptides are small proteins—typically 3-50 amino acids—that your body uses as signaling molecules. Unlike hormones that circulate broadly, peptides deliver specific instructions to targeted cells. Peptides signal your body to produce its own hormones naturally. Anabolic steroids introduce synthetic hormones that suppress your natural production. Peptides work with your biology; steroids work instead of it. They are an integral component of a successful optimization plan. No peptide treatment plan will be successful without the understanding of how lifestyle impacts our health. Sleep, stress reduction, and improvements in exercise and food intake will prepare your body for success. Nutrition and peptide recommendations will accelerate your path to success.
Muscle Recovery/Improvement and Skin Health
BPC-157 and TB-500 work synergistically to repair tendon, muscle, and ligament stress and damage. GHK-Cu is excellent for collagen improvement and tissue remodeling. This has shown improvement in skin health and tightness, as well as hair health and wound healing.
Body Composition/Weight Loss
Peptides such as Tirzepatide, Semaglutide, Tesamorelin, AOD-9604, 5-Amino-1MQ, and Tesofensine are excellent adjuncts to an appropriate weight modification program. They all work differently and will be chosen as a part of a precise plan for your success.
Muscular Growth, Anti-Aging, and Longevity
CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Sermorelin signal the pituitary to release growth hormone through the body's natural pathways. These peptides support sleep quality and REM stage sleep, skin and collagen quality, general vitality and well-being, and improvement in muscle mass and body composition.
Cognitive Health and Focus
Selank, Semax, PE-22-28, Dihexa, and Pinealon all work in different ways to improve memory, mood, focus, and concentration. Some of these peptides can help after brain injury; others show promise with cognitive decline.
Immune Support
Thymosin Alpha 1 and LL-37 are excellent peptides to boost immune system function, reduce autoimmunity, and can help to reduce severity and duration of acute illness.
Gastrointestinal Health
Oral peptides such as BPC-157, KPV, and Larazotide can restore gut health and improve “leaky gut” issues. These peptides can improve food sensitivity issues and IBS complaints and reduce severity in inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Energy Regulation and Mitochondrial Health
Repairing and optimizing the power plants in each cell (mitochondria) is integral in restoring energy, mood, and focus in patients. Dr. Berland will discuss NAD+, SS-31, MOTS-C, as well as specific supplements to aid you.
Sexual Health
Peptides can be used to optimize intimacy for both men and women. PT-141 (also called Bremelanotide), Kisspeptin, and prescriptive agents Tadalafil and Sildenafil can all be used in a variety of methods, such as nasal sprays and sublingual troches.
