Peptide Therapy
at Evoke 5
Peptide therapy helps restore the function of metabolism at the cellular level so that
we age healthier. Different peptide therapies can support different health goals. At
Evoke 5 Medical Center, we commonly utilize peptide therapy to support athletic
performance, cognitive function, disease and trauma management, anti-aging and
regeneration, weight loss and management, sexual health, and skin rejuvenation.
Understanding Peptides
Peptides are proteins (short chains of amino acids, like insulin) that work directly on cellular function and hormone
pathways. As we age, we lose the function of many peptides/hormonal pathways in our body. We also end up seeing a
decline in cellular function, leading to cellular inflammation (aka “metaflammation” or “inflammaging”). This can lead to
faster aging and the development of chronic disease. Peptides can assist in improving these pathways and cellular function,
restoring the function of metabolism at the cellular level so that we age healthier.
How Peptide Therapy Works
Peptide therapy has been used for decades, but on a limited basis. Now the benefits of peptide therapy and its impact on the
body at a cellular level are well understood, and more and more health care providers and patients are taking advantage of
this leading-edge therapy.
Peptide therapy works to stimulate secretion of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), which signals the release of
human growth hormone (HGH). This has a positive domino effect on the body – supporting the reduced risk of disease and
improved vitality, health and longevity.
Peptide therapy can be administered orally or by injection. Injection is typically the most effective therapy option.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy
Different peptide therapies can support different health goals: recovery, anti-aging, brain function, pain, gut health, and
growth. At Evoke 5, we commonly utilize peptide therapy to support:
- Athletic performance: Peptide therapy can help increase speed and endurance, support improvements in strength,
enhance lean muscle, and support efficient workout recovery. - Cognitive function: Certain peptides have been shown to help naturally restore mental function and support
improvement for symptoms of mental distress. - Disease and trauma management: Some peptide therapies have been shown to help improve symptoms, support risk
reduction, and help with recovery from a variety of diseases and conditions. - Anti-aging and regeneration: Some peptides can offer support for cognitive function, pain management, nerve repair,
immune function, reduced oxidative stress, improved bone density, enhanced learning and improved memory. - Weight loss and management: Other peptides support the production of key factors that assist in fat reduction,
metabolic efficiency (including blood sugar and insulin support), and ultimately healthy weight management. - Sexual health: Peptides have been shown to help counteract the effects of aging on the genitalia and libido, and support
improved sexual vitality for both men and women. - Skin rejuvenation: Certain peptides can increase the amount of melanin in the skin to support protection against UV rays
and induce skin tanning.
Since there are many types of peptides, it is important to find a doctor who is trained in peptide therapy and can help you
find the right peptide treatment plan to support your specific conditions and goals.
