The use of peptides is on the rise – and for good reason. They help to slow the effects of aging, improve energy and sexual function, build muscle, reduce fat, decrease inflammation and aid recovery. Peptide therapy – with factors like BPC-157, PT-141, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, and GHK-CU - can bring health-restoring results that defy aging.

Peptide Therapy is a revolutionary new treatment approach used to counteract the gradual decline in our body’s natural peptides that happens as we age. Peptide therapy, depending on the specific factors used, can produce transformative health effects.
Considered a type of regenerative medicine, Peptide Therapy utilizes short chains of amino acids (peptides) to stimulate the body's intrinsic healing and regenerative processes. Peptides act as signaling molecules and are able to instruct tissues and cells to begin repair and regeneration in order to improve and eventually restore the function of cells, tissues and even organs.
Peptides have countless applications and have been used to treat everything from diabetes to anemia and autoimmune diseases. They can help to slow the effects of aging, build muscle, improve energy and sexual function, decrease inflammation, aid recovery, and reduce fat.
Low levels of natural anti-microbial peptides, for example, have been linked to certain skin conditions like rosacea or psoriasis. Replacing those anti-microbial peptides may be used to treat these skin conditions.
That’s why it’s important to work with a Functional Medicine doctor who seeks to understand the underlying root causes of your health issues – so that therapies and treatments like Peptide Therapy can be fine-tuned to address your specific health needs.
Fortunately, new treatment methods like Peptide Therapy emerge every day in the field of Regenerative Medicine, with benefits never before seen. From immune support to antimicrobial effects, from lowering blood pressure to preventing blood clots, from building muscle to losing fat – we can customize the benefits by customizing the peptides we use to target certain conditions.
Depending on the type of peptide and the condition being addressed, benefits of Peptide Therapy can include the following:
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of Peptide Therapy in more detail:
Peptides don’t have to work solo – they can be blended For instance, the combination of CJC-1295 and ipamorelin can trigger muscle growth, improve metabolic function, and enhance healing and recovery – and quickly!
While full effects and the most profound benefits from Peptide Therapy sometimes take up to three to six months, most people experience significantly improved energy and sleep within just a few weeks.
Dr. Rubin always begins with a functional evaluation of your body and your individual health profile. An initial health consultation involves examining all aspects of how your body is functioning. Dr. Rubin then works with you to create an individualized medical plan tailored to your health goals. You and Dr. Rubin will explore the results of your tests and consider all of your options together to arrive at your ideal treatment plan. He will discuss with you whether Peptide Therapy is a form of treatment that may benefit your particular health concerns.
At Improving Your Health, Dr. Rubin creates personalized plans based on each client’s unique assessment. He recognizes the nuanced differences among his clients, with the understanding that no two treatment plans should ever be the same – because every human being is unique. Dr. Rubin evaluates issues like whether your symptom(s) could be a side effect of a medication or chronic health conditions. Our functional medicine approach means the goal is to understand the root cause of any health and longevity-challenging issues you may be experiencing, as opposed to simply treating symptoms. With a holistic approach to health, we prioritize long-lasting health, not just short-term results.
That’s why a comprehensive medical evaluation is so important.
If our Peptide Therapy at Improving Your Health is right for your condition, your treatment plan may simply include Peptide Therapy with one peptide alone or in combination. It could involve a variety of other approaches to maximize your health results.
Peptide formulations that come in sublingual tablets, pills and sprays are trendy, but the right peptide should be prescribed by a physician who has experience and expertise in human health and hormones and can ensure you receive pharmaceutical quality peptide therapy that is administered properly and medically supervised.
Peptide Therapy also may be combined with other treatment modalities. From acupuncture to medical weight loss, we have a myriad of therapies that may complement Peptide Therapy in treating your specific medical condition(s).
If our Peptide Therapy protocol at Improving Your Health is right for you, it may include a single factor alone, or it could involve a variety of others to maximize results. Every aspect of Peptide Therapy requires an individualized approach.
Our goal is always to maximize your health and treat underlying causes of any illness or disease. You and Dr. Rubin will explore the results of your medical history, physical exam and testing, to consider all of your options.
The number of peptide therapy sessions needed varies significantly based on individual needs, the specific peptides used, and the condition being treated. Some may see results after a few weeks, while others require several months of consistent treatment, with potential for ongoing maintenance. Medical monitoring is essential. Your levels will be tested and when optimal levels are reached, therapy can be ongoing, discontinued, or we may focus on a new type of peptide with different goals for other health concerns.
The long-lasting effects of Peptide Therapy will be impacted by individual differences, overall health and wellness, your age and specific medical conditions. Regular consultations at Improving Your Health to maintain your overall health and longevity are essential, especially if you begin to notice a return of symptoms over time, so that your condition can be evaluated, and next steps can be taken in a timely manner.
