Peptide Therapy

What is peptide therapy?

Peptides are short amino acid chains present in all cells. They essentially are “signalers” to help tell the body to do certain functions. They’re critical in cell repair and essential for many body processes.

Peptide therapy, when used as an injection, intranasally, or orally, stimulates receptors in your body. Supplementing with peptides can trigger various reactions that optimize health and wellness. Dr. Gittelman tailors each treatment based on your medical history and health goals.

Who is a candidate for peptide therapy?

Dr. Gittelman determines if peptide therapy is right for you by discussing your goals, symptoms, and medical history, completing a physical exam, and ordering blood work or other lab tests.

You could be a match for peptide therapy if you have low levels of growth hormone, other hormone imbalances, unwelcome signs of aging, suboptimal athletic performance, sexual dysfunction, a chronic disease, or simply want to optimize your overall health and well-being. Dr. Gittelman personalizes a plan based on your goals. 

Optimal Health Miami also offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), medical weight loss, sexual medicine for men, sexual medicine for women, and more. You might undergo peptide therapy with other treatments to maximize your health outcomes.

What can I expect during peptide therapy?

During peptide therapy, you might take oral supplements, use a nasal spray, or receive an injection to get the peptides into your body, optimize anti-aging, and enhance longevity.

Dr. Gittelman explains how to use peptides effectively to meet your goals. During the next few weeks and months, you should notice a difference in how you look and feel. Many patients will choose maintenance peptide therapy treatments, which can offer long-lasting results.
