Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy is a revolutionary approach to improving overall health, enhancing performance, and promoting longevity. Peptide therapy is a health optimization treatment at Lions OpTimal Health. At Lions OpTimal Health, we strive to offer the most advanced treatments available to optimize your well-being.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which act as signaling agents in your cells. For peptide therapy, specific peptides can be administered as supplements to target distinct functions or address specific health concerns.

At Lions OpTimal Health, we offer peptide therapy as a health optimization treatment option that is personalized for every patient, improving their body’s function at a cellular level.

Peptides are smaller than proteins and can range in length from just a few amino acids to several dozen amino acids. They occur naturally in the body and act as signaling molecules, sending precise messages to cells and molecules to carry out specific functions.

Peptides can regulate processes such as hormone production, cell signaling, immune response, and tissue repair. The human body has thousands of peptides. While some act as neurotransmitters to facilitate communication between nerve cells, others function as hormones and regulate various physiological processes.

Your body produces peptides naturally. However, with age or stress, the body’s physiology may change and it may not produce them as efficiently. In such situations, adding peptides to your health optimization plan can improve the body’s cellular level functions.

With peptide therapy, peptides produced from external sources (exogenous peptides) are used supplementally to target specific biological processes or address particular health concerns. 

For example, exogenous peptides can mimic the actions of naturally occurring growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRP). GHRP stimulates the production and release of human growth hormone (HGH). Therefore, in this case, peptide therapy aims to enhance growth hormone levels in the body for increased muscle mass, improved physical performance, or improved recovery from injury.

How Peptide Therapy Helps

The specific peptide used for you will depend on the desired effect and your unique needs. Here is a list of situations where peptide therapy can help:

• Decrease Inflammation: Peptides possess anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation throughout the body, which is crucial for optimal health and healing.
• Support Healing Processes: Peptide therapy accelerates the healing of tissues, muscles, and tendons, promoting faster recovery from injuries and surgeries.
• Promote Weight Loss: Some peptides can aid in weight management by boosting metabolism, increasing fat burning, and supporting the development of lean muscle mass.
• Enhance Hair Growth: Peptides can stimulate hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth and combating hair loss.
• Anti-Aging Benefits: Peptide therapy can help reduce visible signs of aging by improving skin elasticity, hydration, and collagen production.
• Optimize Hormonal Balance: Peptides can regulate hormone production, enhancing hormonal balance and improving overall well-being.
• Boost Energy, Stamina, and Strength: Peptides play a role in energy production, supporting increased levels of energy, stamina, and physical performance.
• Improve cognitive function: Some peptides have neuroprotective effects, enhancing cognitive function, memory, and focus.
• Enhance Sleep Quality: Peptide therapy can help regulate sleep patterns, promoting restful and rejuvenating sleep.
• Boost Immune Function: Peptides aid in strengthening the immune system, improving overall immunity.
• Improve GI Tract Microbiome: Some peptides improve GI tract microbiomes and modulate the immune response. 

At Lions OpTimal Health, peptide therapy is administered after a comprehensive analysis of your health concerns. Our primary healthcare provider, Jason Schmidthuber PA-C, has decades of experience helping men achieve their best selves.

Jason provides personalized care and treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals. He will perform a thorough evaluation of your medical history and health profile to identify any conditions or symptoms that might be improved with peptide therapy.

Jason supervises your peptide therapy and gives you essential lifestyle guidance so you can enjoy the maximum benefits of your treatment.

A personalized peptide therapy plan will be developed to align with your lifestyle and goals.

Peptide therapy can be administered via various methods, including 

• Subcutaneous injections
• Topical creams
• Oral capsules or troches (dissolved under the tongue)

At Lions OpTimal Health, we use the safest and highest quality peptide therapies. The method and peptide(s) chosen for your treatment will ensure your safety and maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. 

To optimize results, you may be advised to combine different peptides or use peptide therapy alongside other wellness strategies, such as hormone therapy, vitamins, supplements, or weight-loss efforts to optimize your results.

The results of peptide therapy are usually evident over a period of 3-6 months. While some patients may experience benefits within the first few weeks of treatment, and these benefits continue to increase with continued therapy, it can take time before the full effects are noticeable. 

At Lions OpTimal Health, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care and treatments to help you achieve optimal wellness and performance. Our primary healthcare provider, Jason Schmidthuber, PA-C, has helped thousands of men regain strength and revitalize their lives.
