Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in your body. When used therapeutically, specific peptides may support tissue healing, immune function, metabolic health, and cellular repair. Our nurse practitioner, Mary Lynn Papin, creates individualized peptide protocols based on your health goals and medical history.

We offer peptide therapy for various health concerns including injury recovery, gut healing, immune support, cognitive function, and anti-aging. Treatment typically involves subcutaneous injections that you can learn to self-administer at home after initial training.

What to Expect from Peptide Therapy Treatment

Your first visit includes a comprehensive consultation to review your health concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. We'll discuss which peptides may be appropriate for your needs and create a customized protocol.

Most peptide therapies require a series of injections over several weeks or months. During your initial visit, we'll teach you proper injection technique so you can continue treatment at home between follow-up appointments. We provide all necessary supplies and ongoing monitoring.

Peptide therapy is typically combined with other integrative treatments like IV therapy, hormone optimization, or nutritional support for comprehensive health improvement. Pricing varies based on the specific peptides prescribed and treatment duration.
