Peptides are naturally occurring molecules found in all living things that play an important role in numerous biological processes and can help with:
Brain health
Peptides improve your learning memory, cognitive function, mental alertness, and sleep quality. They help you recover from a concussion, repair damaged neurons, and control the hormone cortisol that's responsible for stress and anxiety.
Muscle regeneration
Peptides assist in the repair of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues and are important for helping sports injuries to heal.
Weight loss
Peptides help you recover faster during and after workouts, reduce body fat, and increase energy, stamina, and muscle mass.
Insomnia
Peptides increase sleep duration, help you fall asleep more quickly and sleep more deeply, maintain healthy sleep-wake cycles, and increase the amount of melatonin (a hormone that helps you sleep) in your body.
Pain
Peptides suppress chronic inflammation, help manage neuropathic pain and heal nerves, reduce muscle soreness, and promote the growth of new blood vessels.
Anti-aging
Peptides decrease cell death and lipid oxidation, which hasten aging and reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles.
Anxiety
Peptides normalizes the function of the brain, reduces protein deficiencies, and also restores protein synthesis with no sedating effects.
Immunity
Peptides may suppress Cystic fibrosis, Lyme disease, sends depressed response to vaccinations; adjunct to the flu vaccine and improve Geriatric Immune Support.
Peptides also boost immunity, which helps you avoid getting sick.

At Eastside Family Health Center, Dr. Marinkovich offers customized programs based on patients' needs and individual health concerns. Peptide therapy is drug-free and poses minimal risk, as peptides are basically amino acids that exist naturally in your body. Peptide therapy can help enhance brain function, muscle tissue regeneration, weight loss, insomnia and anxiety management, pain, reduce signs of aging, and immune function.
Peptide therapy typically involves having an injection of peptides into your body. This delivery method helps the peptides reach your bloodstream more quickly and avoiding them from being broken down by your digestive system.
Some peptides are available as topical lotions or creams, oral capsules, or nasal sprays, but Dr. Marinkovich recommends peptide therapy injections for the most consistent outcomes.
You should notice a difference just a few weeks after starting your peptide therapy, but it may take 3-6 months to fully realize the benefits of some therapies.
