Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to help regulate and optimize various physiological processes in the body. As we age or due to certain medical conditions, many people experience a decline in critical hormones and neurotransmitters that are essential for overall health and wellbeing.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. They play a vital role in many bodily functions including muscle growth, fat loss, injury recovery, immune function, sleep, mood, appetite, libido, and more.
Unlike other hormones like testosterone or growth hormone, peptides act locally at their target site and do not travel systemically through the bloodstream. This means they can have powerful effects in specific tissues with less risk of side effects.
Some key peptides used in therapy include:
There are many potential benefits to properly administered peptide therapy:
For these reasons, peptide therapy has become an increasingly popular anti-aging and performance enhancing treatment. It offers a way to counteract age-related decline and help people feel and function at more youthful levels.
Peptide therapy may be a good option for individuals wanting to counteract some of the effects of normal aging. It can also benefit those recovering from injury or illness.
Ideal candidates include:
Peptide therapy is very customizable to address each patient's unique health goals and hormone deficiencies.
Proper medical screening is important to determine safety and ideal peptide selection and dosing on an individual basis. Hormone Harmony specializes in comprehensive testing, assessment and tailoring peptide treatment plans to your specific needs and biomarkers.
There are several potential causes contributing to hormone and neurotransmitter decline, including:
As part of the normal aging process, our bodies gradually lose the ability to produce critical youthful hormones at optimal levels. This includes muscle-building hormones like growth hormone, IGF-1, and testosterone, the energy hormone thyroid, and neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin that regulate sleep, mood and focus.
By age 30, growth hormone production has often already decreased by 14% per decade. Other hormones soon follow, leading to changes like decreased lean body mass, increased body fat, low energy, thinning skin, declining metabolic rate, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss and weakened bone density.
Peptide therapy can help counteract many effects of aging by supporting your body's natural production of critical youth hormones.
Chronic inflammation and elevated cortisol from high stress also suppress hormone and neurotransmitter production and activity. At Hormone Harmony, blood testing identifies markers like high CRP and cortisol to help customize treatment to counteract inflammation and stress.
Lack of proper sleep, exercise, nutrition and recovery practices can negatively impact hormone and neurotransmitter status. Peptide therapy combined with personalized lifestyle coaching helps optimize hormones.
Many diagnosed conditions like diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, fibromyalgia, injuries and even mental health disorders can disrupt optimal hormone and neurotransmitter function in the body. Hormone Harmony conducts specialized lab testing to identify opportunities to support health conditions through peptide therapy.
The first step is an extensive health evaluation and lab testing to identify your unique hormone biomarkers, health markers, lifestyle factors and health goals. This establishes a baseline to help design a fully personalized peptide therapy protocol.

Peptide therapy research has uncovered an unexpected role for certain peptides in modulating gut bacteria. Early studies show that administering specific peptides can shift the gut microbiome toward a more beneficial composition, suggesting peptide therapy could potentially treat diseases associated with imbalanced gut flora like irritable bowel syndrome.
