Peptide injections refer to the injection of specific peptide compounds to promote various benefits in the body. At Balance & Renew Clinic, we offer peptide injections and therapy to help patients correct hormone deficiencies, achieve weight loss, increase lean muscle mass, improve energy levels, and more.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Certain peptides have been shown to stimulate the release of key hormones in the body, making them useful for treating hormone deficiencies and imbalances. For example, some peptides target growth hormone release which can correct growth hormone deficiency. Other peptides stimulate the release of testosterone or thyroid hormone.
Some of the key benefits of peptide injections and therapy include:
Peptides represent an exciting new frontier in integrative medicine for hormone optimization, wellness, and anti-aging. Read on to learn more about the specific types of peptides we offer and how they can benefit you.
One of the most popular uses of peptides is for weight loss and appetite suppression. Many peptides have been shown in research studies to reduce body fat, especially abdominal fat, while preserving lean muscle tissue. They regulate fat metabolism and storage throughout the body leading to weight loss over time.
We offer several highly effective peptides for weight loss including:
Ipamorelin activates receptors in the brain tied to growth hormone release. Along with stimulating fat breakdown, Ipamorelin has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress which contributes to overall wellness. Dosing is typically at night given Ipamorelin's natural stimulation of growth hormone which peaks at that time.
Key effects:
CJC-1295 is a peptide hormone that interacts with receptors to increase overall production of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Research confirms CJC-1295's role in fat loss, especially belly fat, muscle gain, wound healing, and cell regeneration. Weekly injections work best for long-lasting results.
Key effects:
Closely related to the body's own growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), Sermorelin powerfully initiates the release of growth hormone in the brain. Injections of Sermorelin increase lean body mass and boost metabolism leading to lower body weight and body fat. It also tends to improve sleep quality which is important for overall health.
Key effects:
Originally developed as a diabetes treatment to lower blood sugar, exenatide injections were also found to cause considerable weight loss. Exenatide mimics the effects of incretins - natural metabolic hormones that trigger the release of insulin. Along with promoting weight loss, exenatide can also stabilize blood glucose levels and regulate appetite and food intake.
Key effects:
Detecting hormone deficiencies early on is vital for health and wellbeing. Left untreated, hormone deficiencies can significantly impact quality of life. At Balance & Renew Clinic, your physician will assess hormone levels and symptoms to determine if you could benefit from peptide therapy.
Some key symptoms of growth hormone deficiency include:
Individuals with low testosterone may experience some of the following:
People with thyroid deficiencies often note the following symptoms:
If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms, come into Balance & Renew Clinic for advanced hormone testing and evaluation by our experienced physician. We offer state-of-the-art testing including bloodwork, saliva testing, urine testing, and the innovative Dried Blood Spot test.
So how exactly does peptide therapy work and what can you expect? Read on for an overview of some of the basics.
Peptides can be administered through very small regular injections - typically using small insulin needles or pen devices. The peptides stimulate your body's own signaling pathways to produce beneficial effects. Most people tolerate the injections very well with minimal discomfort.
Some peptides need to be injected daily while others are taken less frequently like 1-2 times per week. Dosing is customized to the individual based on factors like age, hormone levels, diet and lifestyle factors, treatment goals, and other considerations.
During the first consultation at Balance & Renew Clinic, our physician will determine if you are a candidate for peptide therapy. If peptide therapy is advised, the optimal dosing and administration schedule will be developed for you. Bloodwork may be ordered to establish baseline hormone levels.
Most patients remain on a sustained therapy protocol for as long as the benefits are desired - often for months to years. It generally takes 2-4 weeks to note initial effects. Benefits continue to accrue over the first 3 months of therapy and beyond.
To enhance and sustain results, certain supportive measures are recommended while undergoing treatment:
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for enhancing wound healing and tendon repair when injected into sites of injury. However, more clinical trials are still needed to fully validate the efficacy and long-term safety of using peptide injections therapeutically in humans.

It's vital to take a proactive approach by having your hormone levels properly evaluated while you are still feeling well. Ordering the right laboratory testing allows detection of imbalances early before advanced deficiency develops.
Symptoms typically appear when deficiencies become more pronounced over time. This results from gradual decline of hormones starting from the late 20's and 30's. Lifestyle factors like chronic stress, poor diet, excess body fat, smoking, infections, toxins, lack of activity, and inadequate sleep drive this process.
Without optimization, the risk increases over time for disorders like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatigue, sexual health issues, anxiety and depression, cognitive impairment, osteoporosis, autoimmune conditions, and cancer.
The good news is early diagnosis combined with appropriate treatment can largely prevent this downward spiral and the diseases of aging. Investing in optimal wellness now leads to substantial future savings - both financially and in terms of good health and independence.
At Balance & Renew Clinic, restoring and maintaining balance is our specialty whether you want to lose weight, build strength, enhance intimacy and relationships, think more sharply, prevent disease, or simply slow the hands of time.
We hope this informative guide has enhanced your knowledge of the promising benefits of peptide therapy. Peptides can have profound impacts on hormone balance, metabolism, body composition, vitality, longevity and human optimization when applied appropriately under medical supervision.
