You’re more tired lately, lack the energy you once had, and have lost interest in intercourse. These feel like the natural effects of aging, but you’re not quite ready to accept so many changes all at once. Nor should you have to. Thanks to the vast benefits provided by peptide therapy, available from Priority You MD in Clearwater, FL, you can reverse the clock and look and feel younger.
We could answer by saying this therapy allows you to slow the aging process and leave it at that. But doing so would only give you a very small piece of the large picture that frames peptides.
This therapy is designed to stimulate cellular regrowth systems. Comprised of short chains of amino acids, peptides attach to receptors found on cell surfaces. They do, in fact, exist in every human cell and tissue – to date, we know of over 7,000 peptides that exist within the body. Each provides cells with instructions to carry out a specific function, making them integral to many processes. Maintaining their balance is therefore necessary to overall health.
Just to give you an inkling of the many benefits peptide therapy can provide, here is an incomplete list:
Different peptides complete different tasks, depending on the type and sequence of amino acids in their chains. Peptides also have different shapes that influence their functions. These characteristics allow us to create a highly targeted treatment to meet your individual needs.
As explained a moment ago, our bodies naturally produce peptides throughout our lifetimes. This production, however, varies greatly among each individual and can be influenced by factors like stress and diet. It’s also normal to see peptide levels decline with age. This is the gap that therapy can fill, and because different treatment combinations are available, we’re able to trigger specific functions within the body.
Some of the most common peptides used for treatment include:
In addition to those mentioned above, a host of other peptides can also be administered to achieve specific effects. Some, for instance, induce the breakdown of fat cells and encourage the body to burn calories more rapidly than usual. The peptide known as CJC 1295 works in this manner and also provides additional benefits, such as improved strength and gains in lean muscle mass.
AOD 9604 can similarly regulate metabolism and help the body burn calories. It’s even shown to prevent the formation of fat in the body while simultaneously improving bone health.
Many times, sexual dysfunction in males is treated with pills that cause a slurry of unwanted side effects. Just to name a few, these include nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Women are likewise often told to use a lubricant. In both cases, the root cause of the problem is ignored so that no real benefit is ever gained.
Peptide therapy works in just the opposite way, invigorating the body from within. PT-141, in particular, can increase sexual desire in both men and women without producing adverse symptoms. It can also ramp up energy levels and boost sex drive. Women often report noticeable improvements within minutes of treatment, and it can be especially beneficial for those who are premenopausal.
We’re going to circle back to CJC 1295, a peptide with multiple benefits. Yes, it helps burn fat, but it can additionally improve cognition and memory. Other benefits include greater hair growth and more energy. Aesthetic advantages include tighter, smoother skin with a reduction of:
Opioid-based therapies were the go-to medications for pain relief up until a few years ago. Although prescriptions remain high, awareness of their dependency risks has prompted healthcare providers to seek alternative treatments. Peptides fit this slot nicely, naturally binding to receptor sites in the brain to relieve chronic and acute pain.
Whether your pain is the result of disease, neurological damage, or trauma, peptides offer relief in a safe manner. Thymosin Beta-4, for instance, has been the subject of several clinical studies and repeatedly shown to alleviate pain when injected at a site of injury or concern.
Unlike other treatments that require countless tests and appointments, peptide therapy is much more straightforward. We offer complimentary medical consultations over the phone for ease and convenience. During this time, we’ll discuss the different options that are available and, after listening to your treatment goals and symptoms, make professional recommendations.
Because peptides come from US-based and FDA-regulated compounding pharmacies, a prescription is required. Your prescribed therapy will then be delivered from the compounding pharmacy directly to your home address. Most peptides are administered as subcutaneous injections once daily or a similar schedule determined by our office. All the supplies and instructions you need will be included in your delivery.
Oral peptides are also available for those who prefer pills. Keep in mind that different therapies offer different benefits, which we’ll discuss during your consultation. If changes need to be made after you begin your course of treatment, we can do so quickly and efficiently to optimize your health.
This therapy serves as a support system for your body’s natural processes. Some patients notice immediate differences in how they feel, while others feel gradual improvements that develop over several weeks. Those results that often show the most quickly include more energy and faster workout rebound.
The good news is peptide therapies can be used long-term with little to no side effects. This means you can continue treatment for as long as necessary. While every person’s genetic makeup and lifestyle will impact their results, you can generally expect to see the following:
Many people liken peptides to the use of synthetic human growth hormones (HGH), and although similar, these treatments are also vastly different. For starters, HGH therapy can cause a dependency as it replaces your body’s natural growth hormone production. Peptides do not create this effect and are therefore much safer. HGH is also associated with unwanted side effects like joint pain, swelling in the arms and legs, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Nearly any healthy adult, both male and female, can enjoy the benefits of peptide therapy. Because treatment plans are customized, they give your body what it needs without mindlessly masking symptoms. Many therapies provide temporary relief without getting to the root cause. But peptides work at a cellular level to improve internal processes.
You can’t see these all-important events unfold behind the scenes, but what you can feel and see will be life-changing: more vim and vigor to go about your day with a face that looks healthy and rejuvenated – rather than dull and fatigued.
From athletes and folks in middle age to those who want to protect their skin and stave off the signs of aging, peptide therapy can enhance most people’s lives. It may be especially beneficial if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Before you think this therapy is a temporary vogue, you should know peptides have played an important role in medicine since the beginning of insulin therapy in the 1920s. More than 60 peptide drugs have received FDA approval in the U.S. since that time, and more continue to steadily enter clinical development. In short, peptides continue to be of medical interest because they are well-tolerated and deliver real results.
People tend to confuse peptides and proteins, and although both are comprised of amino acids, peptides are shorter in length. Some of the tasks they fulfill within the body include:
Peptides often mimic the behaviors of hormones, carrying information from one tissue to another via the blood. The body needs a constant supply of peptides to regulate biochemical processes. Cell malfunction leads to disease, which peptides help prevent by interacting with cellular DNA. You can therefore use therapy to not only feel better but also stave off illness.
Each peptide employs a specific action on a specific cell or tissue without disrupting other cells. Taking several different peptides at once does not cause harm and, in many cases, is recommended to provide broader results.
During your consultation, we’ll ask questions about your current health and the medications you’re taking. Peptides are generally compatible with other prescriptions, but to ensure the most positive effect on your body, it’s best to provide us with a full list.
Researchers estimate that starting at 35 years old, three to five chronic diseases occur in our bodies simultaneously. This number leaps to between five and eight at 65 years old.
Rather than try to treat these illnesses with multiple prescriptions that can contraindicate each other or, worse, produce debilitating side effects, peptide therapy is much safer and more effective. Its results are cumulative, meaning that over time, cellular functions will improve. You’ll feel better and also enjoy greater overall health.
Peptides are involved in a number of functions, and when balanced, help us look and feel our best. But diet, stress, and age can cause peptides to decline, and that’s when troublesome symptoms start to appear. Fortunately, effects like fatigue, weight gain, and mental fog can all be reversed with a therapy designed just for you.
