Frequently Asked Questions
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They typically contain between 2 and 50 amino acids and play important roles in the body, such as signaling between cells, regulating hormones, and supporting immune functions..
What are the benefits of peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy uses specific peptides to target and improve bodily functions, offering benefits like enhanced healing, improved energy, better hormone balance, muscle growth, fat loss, anti-aging effects, and improvements in skin, hair, and nail health.
Is peptide therapy safe?
Peptide therapy is considered safe because peptides are naturally occurring in the body and are broken down into amino acids, which the body already uses. When administered in proper doses under medical supervision, they typically have minimal side effects and low risk of toxicity or allergic reaction.
Am I a candidate for peptide therapy?
Most likely! A patient may be a good candidate for peptide therapy if they are experiencing fatigue, slow recovery, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, signs of aging, or issues with skin, hair, or nails. It’s especially helpful for those looking to support hormone balance, boost overall wellness, and enhance physical performance.
Why would I need hormone replacement therapy?
Someone may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT) if their hormone levels are imbalanced or have declined due to aging, medical conditions, or surgical procedures. HRT helps relieve symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, low libido, hot flashes, weight gain, and decreased bone or muscle mass by restoring hormones to optimal levels and improving overall quality of life.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
HRT is considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. Modern HRT uses bioidentical or carefully dosed hormones tailored to each patient’s needs, minimizing risks and side effects. Regular monitoring ensures safety and effectiveness, making HRT a reliable option for managing hormone-related symptoms and improving long-term health.
What do services and medications cost?
Every medication and dosage can vary in cost depending on the specific treatment plan. For accurate and personalized pricing information, patients are encouraged to call or text the clinic directly.
