What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that perform different functions throughout the body, including roles in hormone signaling, metabolism, and cellular communication.
Some peptides are used in FDA-approved medications, while others remain investigational and have not been established as safe or effective for clinical use.
Because every peptide works differently, treatment considerations depend on the specific compound, your medical history, and your goals.
Peptides and Areas of Interest
The following are examples of peptides patients may wish to discuss during their consultation.
Growth Hormone Signaling
Sermorelin
A peptide that stimulates growth hormone release. It has been studied for its effects on growth hormone signaling, but its use for general wellness or anti-aging is not FDA-approved.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Investigational peptides associated with growth hormone signaling. Their long-term safety and effectiveness for wellness, muscle development, and recovery have not been established.
Metabolic Health & Body Composition
Tesamorelin
An FDA-approved prescription peptide for reducing excess abdominal visceral fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It is not approved for general weight loss.
AOD-9604
An investigational peptide studied for potential effects on fat metabolism. Clinical evidence has not established meaningful weight loss benefits.
MOTS-c
A research peptide being investigated for its role in mitochondrial function and metabolic signaling. Human clinical benefits remain unproven.
Skin & Tissue Research
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
A copper-binding peptide studied for its role in skin biology and tissue remodeling. Evidence and safety considerations differ significantly between topical cosmetic formulations and injectable products.
BPC-157
An investigational peptide studied primarily in preclinical models for possible effects on tissue repair and gastrointestinal processes. It is not FDA-approved for human treatment.
TB-500
An investigational compound studied in connection with tissue-repair mechanisms. Human clinical evidence remains limited, and safety has not been established.
Who Is a Peptide Consultation For?
This service is intended for patients who:
- Are interested in learning about a specific peptide therapy.
- Want to discuss the available evidence and potential risks.
- Would like a medical assessment of whether a particular treatment is appropriate.

This is a focused consultation and does not replace a comprehensive medical evaluation.
What Is Included in Your Peptide Consultation?
Initial Consultation
- Review of your medical history and medications
- Discussion of your specific treatment goals
- Review of the peptide or therapy you are interested in
- Basic laboratory testing recommendations when indicated
- Evaluation of safety, eligibility, and available treatment options
- Individualized medical recommendations
Follow-Up Appointments
For patients receiving an appropriate prescribed therapy, follow-up care may include monitoring treatment response, reviewing relevant laboratory results, evaluating side effects, and adjusting the treatment plan when medically indicated.
Laboratory testing and medication costs are separate from consultation fees.
Peptide Therapy vs. Comprehensive Wellness
Peptide Therapy
For patients specifically interested in discussing a particular peptide-based treatment and whether it may be medically appropriate.
Comprehensive Wellness
For patients experiencing multiple symptoms who want a deeper medical investigation into possible underlying causes, including metabolic, thyroid, hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle factors.
If your primary goal is understanding unexplained symptoms, Comprehensive Wellness is generally the better starting point.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Some peptide medications are FDA-approved for specific medical conditions, while others remain investigational. Not all investigational peptides can legally be prescribed or compounded for human use.
Basic laboratory testing may be recommended depending on your medical history and the therapy being considered.
Yes. You can discuss a particular peptide during your consultation. However, discussing a therapy does not guarantee that it can be prescribed or administered.
Safety depends on the specific peptide, its formulation, medical indication, and individual patient factors. Some investigational peptides have insufficient human safety data.
