Peptide therapy involves the use of short chains of amino acids called peptides to stimulate specific functions in the body. Peptides are naturally occurring in the body and play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as cell signaling, hormone production, and tissue repair.

By using specific peptides, peptide therapy can help improve a range of conditions and enhance overall health. Common benefits include:

-Increased energy and stamina

-Improved muscle growth and recovery

-Enhanced weight loss and fat reduction

-Boosted immune function

-Improved skin health and anti-aging effects

Peptide therapy is a safe, effective way to support your body’s natural healing and optimization processes.

Peptide therapy can be administered in various ways, but the most common method is through subcutaneous injections (under the skin). This allows for controlled release and absorption. In some cases, peptides may also be available in oral or topical forms, depending on the specific type of peptide used and the treatment goals.

Results from peptide therapy can vary depending on the individual and the specific peptides being used. Some people may start noticing improvements in energy, sleep, or muscle recovery within a few weeks, while other benefits, such as fat loss or skin improvements, may take a few months to become apparent. Consistency and follow-up are key to achieving optimal results.

Peptide therapy is generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. Since peptides are naturally occurring in the body, they are typically well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. However, as with any treatment, it’s important to follow the prescribed protocol and maintain regular check-ins with your provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Unfortunately, most health insurance plans do not cover peptide therapy. Peptides are often considered an elective treatment and not a "medical necessity" by insurance companies, which is why coverage is typically unavailable.

Many primary care providers do not specialize in peptide therapy and may not be familiar with its full range of benefits or applications. At our clinic, we focus on advanced therapies like peptides, and Shelby is experienced in using them for weight loss, improved sleep, muscle growth, hormone balance, and overall wellness. We tailor the treatment to your specific needs, which is often outside the scope of traditional primary care.

The cost of peptide therapy can vary depending on the type of peptides used and the length of treatment. Generally, patients can expect to pay between $250 and $600 per month for peptide therapy. We recommend a consultation to discuss your individual goals and create a plan that fits your goals.

Peptide therapy is appropriate for a wide range of individuals, from those looking to optimize athletic performance and recovery to those seeking help with weight loss, anti-aging, and hormone balance. During a consultation, we will review your medical history, lab work, and personal goals to determine if peptide therapy is a good fit for you.
