Peptide Therapy

Natural. Healing. Versatile. Effective.

What are peptides? Peptides are small chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Peptides act as signaling messengers that tell your body to do various tasks; like building muscle, healing tissue, burning fat cells, controlling hormones, etc.

Are peptides safe? YES! Peptide therapy is safe because they are naturally found in the body. Peptide therapy is near (if not identical) to those our body already uses. Safety depends on the specific peptide, dosage, and how it's used. When properly researched and used under supervision, peptides are very well-tolerated. At The Powell Studio, you will have a thorough consultation with an NP or RN, to make sure that your peptide regimen is appropriate for you.

Is lab work needed? Lab work is essential for peptide therapy to assess baseline health, identify any underlying conditions, monitor peptide effectiveness, and detect potential side effects. It helps tailor the treatment by guiding dosage adjustments and ensuring safety throughout the therapy. Regular lab tests also track progress and ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Does peptide therapy work for everyone? Peptide therapy may not work for someone due to factors like individual health conditions, poor absorption, or lack of response to specific peptides. Additionally, factors such as age, genetics, or existing medical issues (e.g., hormone imbalances) can limit its effectiveness. It’s important to tailor peptide therapy to the person’s specific needs for it to be successful. This is another reason we check lab work to get a good understanding of your individual responsiveness.

How do I optimize my experience with peptides? To optimize time on peptide therapy, focus on a consistent administration schedule, track progress regularly, and adjust dosages based on provider and symptom feedback. Prioritize a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep to enhance the effects of peptides. Stay in close communication with your health provider to fine-tune the therapy and maximize results efficiently.

Are peptides FDA approved? Peptides are not FDA approved. This is because peptides are naturally occurring in your body, making it impossible for the FDA to patent something that your body makes on its own.
