Peptides are signaling molecules — short chains of amino acids your body uses to regulate healing, metabolism, immunity, and cellular communication. As we age, levels of these important molecules tend to decrease.
Peptide therapy utilizes targeted peptide compounds to support the body's natural repair and optimization processes. Each peptide functions in a specific way, and your iThriveMD provider selects and doses them based on your bloodwork, health history, and individual goals.

Targets the cellular signaling involved in tissue repair — for injury recovery, chronic joint discomfort, or natural healing support.

Peptides studied for collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and epidermal cell signaling — targeting skin vitality from within.

Peptides studied for neurotransmitter modulation and neuroprotection — supporting sharper focus, mental clarity, and balanced cognitive performance.

Targets growth hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, and melanocortin pathways — for metabolic optimization, physical performance, and sexual wellness.

Thymic peptides studied for immune cell modulation and T-cell signaling — supporting whole-body immune balance and systemic resilience.
Get to know the longevity experts behind your care. Each provider brings advanced training in prevention, biomarkers, and personalized protocols—so your plan fits your life.
Peptide therapy uses targeted amino acid compounds to support the body’s natural processes — including tissue repair, immune signaling, cognitive function, skin health, metabolic regulation, and sexual wellness. Your provider selects peptides based on your specific health goals and lab results.
Cost varies based on the prescribed peptides, dosing frequency, and cycle length. Your provider will discuss pricing during your consultation. Peptide therapy is not typically covered by insurance.
Yes. All peptide therapy at iThriveMD requires a medical evaluation and provider prescription. Peptides are prepared in our sterile cleanroom facility and are not available over the counter.
Side effects are generally mild and may include injection site redness, minor swelling, or transient discomfort. Your provider will review potential side effects specific to your prescribed peptides during your consultation.
Response time varies by peptide and individual. Some patients notice changes within 2–4 weeks; others may take longer. Your provider monitors progress through follow-up labs and adjusts your protocol accordingly.
No. Peptide therapy encompasses a broad category of amino acid compounds that target different biological pathways. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are specific peptides used for weight management and metabolic health.
Yes — peptide stacking is common and is one of the reasons provider guidance matters. Your iThriveMD provider may recommend peptides with complementary effects (such as our Wolverine or GLOW combinations) based on your goals, and will manage cycling protocols to optimize results safely.
Most peptides at iThriveMD are administered via subcutaneous injection — a small, shallow injection you self-administer at home after your provider teaches you the technique.
Peptide therapy is generally not covered by insurance. Pricing is discussed during your consultation.
Peptide therapy may be appropriate for adults looking to support:
A consultation is required. Peptide therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will evaluate whether you’re a candidate based on your medical history, current medications, and health status.
Peptide therapy is not appropriate for individuals with:
“I’ve lost about 15% of what I initially wanted to lose”.
“I’ve lost 31 pounds, and my sleep is fantastic!”
“I’m down 128 pounds in just under 12 months.”
We start with advanced testing, turn your data into a personalized plan, and track progress to keep you improving.
