Peptide therapy refers to the medical use of specific peptide compounds to treat various health conditions. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. There are many different peptides used for a variety of therapeutic purposes.
Some of the key benefits of peptide therapy include:
At The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic, we offer customized peptide therapy programs to help patients achieve their health goals. Our clinic focuses specifically on the use of peptide therapy for age-related hormone decline, injury recovery, and weight management.
Below we will explore peptide therapy in more detail along with the services offered at our Johnston clinic.
Many peptides directly stimulate the release of critical hormones in the body like growth hormone and testosterone. As we age, production of these hormones declines leading to unpleasant symptoms. Peptide hormones can help restore optimal hormone levels to make patients feel younger, more energetic, and healthier.
Some of the most effective hormone therapy peptides include:
Growth hormone (GH) is involved in cell growth, cell regeneration, and cell reproduction. In particular, GH strongly influences muscle and bone mass. GH levels steadily decline 14% per decade after the age of 30. Lower GH leads to increased body fat, decreased lean body mass, thinning skin, reduced bone density, impaired muscle strength, and decreased exercise performance.
Growth hormone releasing hormones (GHRHs) are a class of peptides that strongly stimulate the body’s own production of growth hormone. The most common GHRH used is CJC-1295 which potently releases natural GH providing all the benefits of growth hormone therapy without injections of actual growth hormone.
The production of critical reproductive hormones like testosterone is controlled by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). Like GH, GnRH levels decline significantly with age leading to “andropause” or “male menopause” type symptoms such as low libido, erectile dysfunction, declines in muscle mass, increased body fat, irritability, and depression.
GnRH peptide analogues like Triptorelin work to restore the body’s own natural production of reproductive hormones bringing testosterone levels back into a healthy range.
Peptides have powerful effects on stimulating tissue repair which helps accelerate healing after surgery or injuries. They also help reduce overall inflammation which contributes to arthritis pain and joint degeneration.
Some of the most potent tissue repair peptides include:
Thymosin Beta 4 (TB-500) has exceptional ability to repair damaged tissue by promoting new blood vessel development and cellular migration. This makes it highly useful for sports injuries and chronic inflammation. It has been shown to heal wounds, improve range of motion, and decrease pain.
BPC-157 peptide works similar to TB-500 on speeding up injury recovery. Studies show that BPC-157 improves ligament and tendon healing, bone healing, and reduces muscle tears. Many patients find BPC-157 helpful for healing sports injuries, reducing arthritis, or healing slower healing wounds.
Obesity has become a national epidemic. Many patients have struggled to keep weight off with diet and exercise alone. Peptide therapy provides new hope for long-term weight loss success.
As described previously, CJC-1295 potently increases growth hormone release. Another growth hormone stimulating peptide called Ipamorelin works synergistically with CJC-1295 to boost GH even higher.
This peptide combo approach provides all the benefits of growth hormone - decreased body fat, increased lean muscle mass, enhanced metabolism - leading to significant weight loss.
HGH Fragment 176-191 is a modified form of growth hormone (HGH Fragment) designed specifically for weight loss. It works by decreasing the amount of fat stored after eating by increasing fat burning.
Patients typically lose significant amounts of belly, hip, and thigh fat with HGH Fragment making it a very popular weight loss peptide.
At The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic, our medical providers customize peptide therapy programs for your unique health needs. We help patients achieve transformative improvements in body composition, energy levels, sexual health, athletic performance, injury recovery, and more through peptide therapies.
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids to regulate biological processes for therapeutic effect. Although peptides only recently gained attention, the first peptide drug was actually approved by the FDA back in 1985 for acromegaly treatment. With about 60 therapeutic peptides now approved, these natural signaling molecules offer promise against many diseases in an innovative, targeted way.

The moderate four-season climate, beautiful parks, walking trails, and amenities in the Johnston area provide an ideal setting for healing and rejuvenation during peptide therapy.
Late spring and summer tends to be the most popular season to begin intensive peptide therapy programs like weight loss regimens before beach season. The warmer weather and sunshine help elevate mood naturally.
However, peptide therapy provides benefits year round. Growth hormone therapy peptides often work better in colder months when natural GH levels decline. The winter holiday season is actually a common time for many to focus on improving their health.
Johnston boasts over 20 parks, picturesque walking trails, and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Getting light outdoor activity, socializing, and soaking in sunshine all help augment peptide therapy effects.
Some top parks and landmarks include:
Local health resources that can provide testing or other wellness services to complement peptide therapy include:
Having a strong network of health oriented businesses makes Johnston highly livable for those pursuing fitness and wellness goals. Peptide therapy leverages the area's natural assets accelerating your improvements in health markers, body composition, and vitality.
