Peptide Treatments at Feel Beautiful

Peptides are smaller than proteins, short chains of amino acids linked in a specific sequence.  Many biologically active peptides are synthesized in our bodies for essential functions, such as signaling between cells, stimulating hormone secretion, initiating or promoting chemical responses, and more.  Peptides are now produced with high fidelity in the laboratory for therapeutic use.  Insulin is an example of a peptide critical for homeostasis.  Highly effective weight reduction drugs semaglutide and tirzepatide are peptides.  Peptides newer in the marketplace and available by prescription hold promise for highly beneficial use.  Sermorelin is an analogue that stimulates growth hormone release for muscle growth, fat loss, bone composition, energy, and improved well-being.  BPC-157 (body protection compound) improves healing of multiple tissues, reduces inflammation, stimulates blood vessel growth, and has been shown in a pilot study to offer dramatic benefit for women suffering from interstitial cystitis.  Kisspeptin stimulates release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland, thus increasing estradiol and testosterone levels in women and men respectively.

Dr. Steve Laverson believes these and other peptides will soon be much more widely prescribed.  Because of their potential benefits, they are available at Feel Beautiful in Rancho Santa Fe, CA on a limited basis as indicated for individuals challenged with problems that conventional therapy has not resolved sufficiently.  Normal aging processes reduce physical capacity based on an assortment of undesirable changes, many mediated by declining hormone levels and/or tissue degradation.  Age associated declining  physical ability influences attitude and vitality.  Based on the value of improved quality of life associated with overcoming impairments in mental outlook, physical fitness, and/or sexual desire, we believe monitored peptide supplementation is worth a trial in many situations.  Aging is good, but controlled aging is better.  Tirzepatide, Sermorelin, BPC-157, and Kisspeptin available now.  For more information, contact us here or call 858-774-7112.
