Peptide therapy utilizes short chain amino acid molecules called peptides to signal and direct cells in the body to carry out their natural functions. Peptides occur naturally in the body and have many vital roles including building and repairing cells and tissues, regulating systems and functions in the body, and signaling changes in response to various stimuli.
As we age, peptide production and utilization in the cells declines leading to suboptimal functioning and health consequences. Exogenous peptide supplements can help restore this balance in peptide signaling. Some of the main categories of peptide supplements include:
Growth hormone (GH) is involved in cell growth, regeneration and metabolism regulation. GH peptide supplements like Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 stimulate our own natural GH release leading to benefits like:
Peptides like Thymosin Alpha and BPC-157 modulate immune cells and factors to reduce excessive inflammation. They also signal for tissue and gut repair. Benefits include:
Peptides that emulate insulin, GLP-1, oxyntomodulin and other appetite/metabolism regulators promote better utilization of glucose and fat storage, leading to:
In essence, targeted peptide therapies provide chemical signals to boost our own natural processes. This regenerative approach is much more physiologic than introducing external hormones like testosterone or growth hormone.
As we pass age 30, biochemical changes occur leading to declines in tissue repair processes, metabolic rate, lean body mass, sleep quality, libido, and cognitive function. Peptide levels also drop substantially by age 40.
Without intervention, this biochemical aging accelerates, resulting in obesity, frailty, chronic diseases, low energy, poor immunity, and loss of productivity.
Peptide therapy helps counteract age-related deterioration by supporting our natural tissue repair, metabolic and hormone pathways. This translates to broad health and performance benefits.
Here are some top reasons to consider peptide treatment:
Residents of Santa Monica lead very active outdoors lifestyles centered around the beach areas. Maintaining an athletic physique and enjoying outdoor activities into older age are priorities.
However, the clean air, abundant sunshine, relaxing lifestyle and healthy food options here cannot fully prevent age-related biochemical changes. Peptide therapy nicely complements the Santa Monica healthy lifestyle with internal rejuvenation.
The youthful demographic and focus on healthy living makes Santa Monica an ideal location for peptide therapy. Residents tend to notice improvements in body composition, athletic performance, sleep quality, skin quality, immunity and vitality.
We utilize advanced clinical grade peptides approved and regulated by the FDA for specialized use in medical clinics. All our protocols are physician-developed and supervised.
Potential reasons we may recommend peptide therapy include:
Symptoms like fatigue, unexpected weight gain, poor sleep and declining athletic performance indicate falling hormone and peptide levels. Boosting growth hormone, metabolic or muscle-building peptides can help restore optimal functioning.
Whether from accidents, over-training or procedures like surgery or dental work, slow tissue healing likely indicates insufficient repair peptide levels. Short burst tissue repair peptides can accelerate recovery.
Unresolved inflammation driving conditions like arthritis, colitis, skin disorders and even dementia responds nicely to immune-modulating and tissue healing peptides.
Despite diet and exercise, fat gain and loss of lean mass in midlife likely reflects declining metabolic peptides and growth hormone. Weight management peptides help overcome these platelet issues.
Diagnosed deficiencies in growth hormone, IGF-1 or other vital peptides lead to a downward spiral of dysfunction. Replacement with matching peptides helps resolve deficiency signs and protect long term health.
Our experienced practitioners conduct advanced testing to pinpoint biochemical issues driving patient symptoms and signs. We then develop personalized peptide therapy regimens to target patient deficiencies and goals.
Here at Elite Hormone Therapy of Santa Monica we offer cutting-edge regenerative peptide consultations, testing, prescriptions and supervision. Key services include:
We utilize advanced blood, saliva, urine and genetics testing to pinpoint deficiencies in muscle-building, metabolic, hormone and tissue repair peptides underlying patient symptoms and conditions.
Based on test findings and goals, our practitioners develop personalized peptide therapy regimens - specifying ingredients, dosing, timing, length of treatment and lifestyle adjuncts.
All our peptide programs involve licensed medical supervision for patient safety given the powerful nature of these compounds. We also track therapy progress via follow up consults, testing and dose adjustments as needed.
We find combining peptides with testosterone, bioidentical hormones or other regenerative therapies produces even better patient improvements by more comprehensively addressing deficiencies.
Getting started is easy with simplified registration, ordering and rapid delivery options. Patients can self-administer injectable peptides at home or our office can provide hands-on help.
Peptide therapy is showing promise as a potential treatment for aging and age-related diseases. Researchers have found that administering peptides like GHK-Cu and Epitalon can lengthen telomeres and potentially slow down cellular aging in animals. If effective in humans, peptide treatments could become an innovative way to combat various effects of aging without invasive procedures or negative side effects. There is still much research needed, but the early findings are intriguing.
While specific ingredients, doses and duration vary based on patient needs, these are general parameters of our peptide programs:
Each peptide compound a patient receives targets specific deficiencies and goals identified during testing - such as human growth hormone peptide CJC 1295 for lean mass gains and injury healing or AOD 9604 peptide for fat loss. We avoid generic undisclosed blends.
Our peptides are the highest USP-grade quality featuring independent 3rd party testing and verification for identity, purity, safety from contaminants, and labeled clinical dosing. This ensures optimal effects and avoids side effects.
We prescribe personalized peptide dosing protocols to match patient deficiencies and sensitivity. This optimizes peak patient exposures for benefits without excess to minimize potential side effects. Starting low and gradually increasing doses further enhances tolerability.
Humans produce a variety of peptides working in concert naturally. Similarly,we often formulate combination peptide therapies to more comprehensively restore optimal balance and function.
We provide diet, exercise, sleep and stress management guidance to complement peptide therapy. Supportive lifestyle habits amplify biochemical benefits and long-term results.
With individual precision guidance, our regenerative peptide therapies enhance how patients look, feel and function at the cellular level.
There are multiple peptide ingredient choices, combinations and dosing options we offer patients based on test findings and therapeutic goals.
For those seeking enhanced lean mass, strength, power output and quicker injury recovery, we often prescribe peptides like:
Dosing typically involves 100mcg injectable peptides 1-3 times per day in between strength training workouts when cells are receptive. Cycles range from 2-6 months with periodic blood testing to ensure optimal dosing. We also provide dietary protein guidance to feed growing muscles.
Benefits include 5-15lbs lean mass gains, better body composition, increased strength and stamina, enhanced recovery allowing harder training, and accelerated healing enabling injury free consistency.
For patients seeking better body composition, glucose control and weight management, suitable peptides include:
We prescribe 100-500mcg injectable peptides 1-2 times per day alongside diet and exercise plans. Cycles span 2-12 weeks with testing adjustments as needed. Lifestyle coaching on nutrition, activity, sleep and stress management gives added benefit.
Typical results involve 5-15lbs fat loss while preserving or gaining lean mass, reduced food cravings and portion control, improved insulin sensitivity, increased energy expenditure from enhanced cellular metabolism and optimized body composition.
For anti-aging, immune support or gut/skin healing benefits, we often use:
Usual peptide doses are 250-1000mcg injected daily to every few days depending on formulation and purpose for at least one month. Benefits include fewer colds/flu, faster resolution of autoimmune flares, tighter and smoother facial skin, accelerated recovery from illness/injury/surgery and healthier gut lining integrity.
