Peptide Therapy: A Personalized Approach to Wellness
Peptide therapy is an innovative treatment that leverages naturally occurring peptides—short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body—to promote healing, improve overall health, and address specific wellness goals. These peptides influence a wide range of biological functions, from hormone regulation to immune response, making peptide therapy a powerful tool in personalized medicine.
How Does Peptide Therapy Work?
Peptides are carefully selected and administered based on individual needs. At Houston Concierge Medicine, the process begins with an in-depth consultation and evaluation, including lab work and health assessments, to determine which peptides are best suited for your goals. The peptides are then introduced into the body via injections, oral supplements, or topical applications.
Once administered, peptides signal specific cells to trigger desired actions, such as enhancing collagen production, stimulating muscle repair, or boosting metabolism. Over time, patients experience improvements tailored to their unique health concerns.
