What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body and act as signaling molecules. They help regulate key metabolic processes such as appetite, digestion, blood sugar balance, fat metabolism, and energy utilization.
When used therapeutically, metabolic peptides support the body’s natural signaling pathways involved in hunger regulation and energy balance. This approach focuses on improving how the body responds to food and energy needs rather than relying on restrictive dieting alone.
Patients often use peptide therapy to support:
Appetite and hunger regulation
Blood sugar and insulin response
Metabolic efficiency
Fat utilization and energy balance
Long-term weight management
How Peptide Therapy Works
Subcutaneous Injections:
Peptides are administered through a small subcutaneous injection, typically once per week. Providers adjust dosing gradually based on tolerance and response.
Targeted Metabolic Signaling
We use evidence-based peptides commonly utilized in metabolic medicine, including:
- GLP-1, which supports appetite regulation
- GIP, which supports insulin response and nutrient utilization
- Glucagon, which supports fat metabolism
Depending on individual needs, treatment may include one peptide or a combination, determined through medical evaluation.
Lifestyle-Supported Care:
For best outcomes, peptide therapy is paired with nutrition guidance and lifestyle support. This approach helps reinforce sustainable habits and long-term metabolic health.
