PEPTIDES

Peptide therapy is a next-level breakthrough treatment that’s rooted in the principles that we can transform your health on a molecular level.

Peptide Therapy is just one of many innovations that has changed the landscape of healing, giving people more options for care than ever before.

 

A peptide is a small piece of amino acid, which stimulates the body’s cells to carry out its own functions. Peptides are smaller than proteins, and they have a much more direct effect on the cell. Did you know that insulin is a type of peptide?! So are the new diabetic weight loss medications Ozempic, Weygovi, Semaglutide.

Whether you’re fighting a chronic disease, or you simply want to restore your body to its more youthful energy and appearance, A Healthier You Wellness Center offers safe and effective treatments using renowned Integrative approach to medicine and anti-aging.

Peptides are proteins that can be self-injected to replenish peptide levels that decline with age. Treatments can help provide a variety of health benefits, such as muscle & joint recovery, improved sleep, immune health, and longevity.

Benefits

Because of the wide-ranging utility of peptides, Peptide Therapy comes with many benefits that can affect several aspects of the body. In terms of a person’s skeletal and muscular health, Peptide Therapy can lead to an increase in bone health and density, heightened muscle mass and endurance, and lessened joint pain. In a broader sense, Peptide Therapy can also boost growth hormones, increase sex drive, and lead to an increase in overall energy and stamina.

Results

 

The benefits of Peptide Therapy can result in an overall increase in the state of a person’s health. Individuals who undergo Peptide Therapy could experience a general improvement in their immune system, a reduction in inflammation, and improved gut health. Peptide Therapy could also result in improved cardiac health and help individuals with their workouts by improving muscle mass.

How to get started.

The first step towards getting started with Peptide Therapy is identifying what you want help with. If weight management is an issue, a Peptide Therapy that targets weight loss and stimulates the metabolism would likely be the best option. Or if your immune system needs repairing, a Peptide Therapy targeted towards the immune system would be most appropriate.
