Peptide therapy
An area with real promise and a great deal of marketing. We will tell you which is which.
Peptide certified, ISSCA
Peptides are an adjunct. They sit on top of hormones, sleep, training, and nutrition, and they will not compensate for gaps in any of those.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals in the body. Different peptides signal different things, which is why they cannot be discussed as one category.
Some have substantial clinical evidence behind specific uses. Others have early or largely preclinical data and are marketed well ahead of it.

How it works
-

Consultation required
There is no online ordering. Nothing is prescribed without an evaluation and a clear reason.
-
2
Foundations first
Hormones, thyroid, sleep, nutrition and training are checked before anything is layered on.
-
3
Plain answers
What the evidence supports, what it does not, and the cost, before you decide.
-
4
Review honestly
If a peptide is not doing anything measurable for you, the recommendation is to stop it.
