Peptide injections have transformational benefits when used properly under medical supervision. This in-depth guide by the Renew Wellness covers everything you need to know.
Peptide injections involve administering amino acid chains called peptides into the body to positively influence health and wellbeing. When given at optimal dosages, they can help resolve hormone deficiencies leading to improved energy, strength, endurance, body composition, libido, cognition, mood, and more.
There are over 7000 identified peptides with a variety of functions. Some of the most common include:
Unlike anabolic steroids, peptides stimulate your own natural hormone production pathways safely. When paired with lifestyle optimization, they can help you actualize your genetic potential.
The first step is getting properly tested to identify any hormone deficiencies:
| Hormone | Key Functions | Deficiency Signs | Testing | |--------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Testosterone | Muscle growth, fat loss, energy, libido, cognition, competitiveness, confidence, bone density | Low energy, poor concentration, emotional lability, low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced strength and endurance | Total and free testosterone, SHBG | | Estrogen | Libido, cognition, bone health, cardiovascular function, skin/hair health | Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, headaches, mood changes, trouble sleeping, thinning skin and hair | Estradiol, estrone | | GH | Cell regeneration, tissue healing, bone strength, muscle growth, fat metabolism, immunity | Depressed mood, decreased muscle mass, weight gain (visceral fat), thin and dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, lower bone density | IGF-1, IGFBP3 | | Thyroid | Metabolic rate, temperature regulation, cardiovascular function, muscle strength, menstrual regularity, cholesterol | Fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, hair loss, heavy periods, muscle cramps, high cholesterol | TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3 | | Cortisol | Energy production, anti-inflammatory activity, blood sugar control, stress response | Chronic fatigue, blood sugar dysregulation, increased allergies and chemical sensitivities | Multiple timed saliva measurements (8AM, noon, 5PM, 11PM suggested minimum) | | Melatonin | Circadian rhythm regulation, sleep onset and quality | Difficulty falling/staying asleep, daytime sleepiness | Saliva and urine measurements | | Prolactin | Lactation, reproductive health | Abnormal menstrual cycles, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility | Serum prolactin | | DHEA | Bone strength, muscle composition, mood, libido, immunity, cardiovascular health | Depression, irritability, loss of interest in sex, weakened bones and muscles | DHEA-S |
Monitoring levels over time is key as they can fluctuate. Our clinic offers state-of-the art testing using gold-standard methods. Early optimization prevents progression to chronic disease states.
Hormone declines negatively impact nearly every bodily system. The gradual onset of symptoms means imbalances often go unchecked for years leading to:
In men, "andropause" parallels menopause in women - testosterone falls 1-2% yearly after age 30. Low strength, libido, energy, and cognition greatly reduce quality of life. Supplementing key hormones can reverse deficits.
Though lifestyle should be addressed first, peptides help resolve stubborn deficiencies. They provide targeted cells regenerative instructions to restore youthful function.
Documented effects include:
Though specific protocols vary based on individual needs, most share common steps:
Our clinic offers guided treatment plans utilizing premier peptide medications. Detailed instruction ensures proper sterile technique. Follow-up is customized during the initial hormone optimization phase.
While peptides rapidly improve wellbeing, certain lifestyle habits amplify their effectiveness:
Eat a high protein, micronutrient dense whole food diet lower in refined carbohydrates. Limit alcohol and caffeine. Stay well hydrated daily.
Perform resistance and high intensity interval training 3-5 days weekly to stimulate tissue growth. Emphasize large, multi-joint movements that activate maximum muscle mass.
Prioritize sufficient sleep nightly, ideally going to bed before 10pm. Practice meditation, yoga, or breathwork to counteract excess stress. Spend time outdoors and connect with loved ones.
Personalized optimization coaching can help ingrain positive habits.
With over a decade of experience, Renew Wellness offers cutting edge diagnostic testing and peptide injections tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
Benefits of our clinic include:
We also provide therapies to enhance results:
Many have found renewed vitality under our care. Some examples:
38 year old male executive - Always driven to perform, he noticed declining focus, ambition, and a 50 pound weight gain. Testing revealed low testosterone and IGF-1. After 6 months of Sermorelin/Ipamorelin, his motivation and fitness returned to peak university levels. He even started a side company.
44 year old female entrepreneur - Originally seeking help for fatigue, testing showed advanced hormonal aging. She responded beautifully to testosterone pellet therapy and peptides including Epithalon. Her mood, sleep and appearance improved so much she finally had confidence for dating again.
We have over a decade of success stories - contact us to see if you may benefit.
