Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide combinations to help regulate and support various processes in the body. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in cells. Some key benefits of peptide therapy can include:
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Lake Arrowhead, we offer customized peptide therapy protocols to help patients optimize hormonal balance, metabolism, recovery, and overall wellness.
Some key signs and symptoms that may indicate a need for peptide therapy include:
Feeling chronically tired, lacking energy and motivation, or excessive need for sleep could signify issues like adrenal fatigue or thyroid dysfunction that peptide therapy may help address.
Problems with memory, focus, clarity of thought, and overall cognitive performance could be tied to neurotransmitter imbalance that targeted peptides can help correct.
Unexplained muscle loss, increase in body fat, and difficulty losing weight may indicate low growth hormone (GH) or testosterone. Peptide protocols can help rebuild muscle, torch fat, and regulate weight.
Inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, low quality sleep, and constant waking can have numerous causes that peptide therapy can target - including hormone imbalance, inflammation, or anxiety.
Frequent illnesses and infections may signify an underlying immunodeficiency that peptide therapy could potentially strengthen.
Prolonged or incomplete healing of injuries, as well as joint pain and inflammation, can indicate deficiencies in tissue repair hormones like GH that peptide treatment can augment.
Depression, anxiety, irritability, and emotional lability can occur with various hormone deficiencies that optimized peptides could help stabilize.
There are many different peptides used in treatment protocols, each with unique purposes. Here is a brief introduction to some of the most common categories:
Growth hormone (GH) is involved in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, GH levels decline, leading to undesirable effects. GH peptides like ipamorelin, GHRPs, and others stimulate your pituitary gland to increase natural GH release. This can promote muscle gain, fat loss, injury healing, immunity, skin quality, bone strength and more.
Peptides like GLP-1 and exenatide augment natural insulin output. They can help regulate blood sugar, control appetite and facilitate weight/fat loss. Those with obesity or high blood sugar levels may benefit.
Thymosin beta-4 (TB-500), BPC-157, LL-37 and others enhance healing, repair muscle/tendon/ligament injuries, reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Athletes, elderly and those recovering from illness/surgery may gain advantage.
Cerebrolysin, selank, semax, noopept and related peptides act within the brain and nervous system. They can sharpen focus, memory, learning, clarity and cognitive performance. Mood, sleep and behavior may also improve. Those with ADHD, anxiety, brain fog or mood issues can benefit.
Pt 141, tesamorelin, GHK-Cu and similar peptides can stimulate libido, enhance sexual performance, build muscle, torch fat and make skin look younger. They help restore hormones that decline with age, obesity and illness.
The tailor-made peptide stacks and protocols we offer target your individual underlying imbalances and goals with precision.
As we pass age 30, hormones and peptides essential to optimal health and functioning inevitably decline. The downstream negative effects accumulate over time if left unchecked.
Some consequences of prolonged hormone deficiency include:
Thankfully, many hormone and peptide deficiencies can be identified through comprehensive lab testing. Customized peptide therapy under an expert’s guidance can help safely and effectively restore optimal hormonal balance.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we specialize in precision peptide protocols to target the root causes of imbalance at appropriate doses and sequences for your unique needs.
Peptide therapy research has uncovered an intriguing ability of certain peptides to selectively deliver drugs, antibodies or RNA to diseased cells while avoiding healthy tissue. This targeted approach could allow more potent therapies to be used safely and effectively against cancers and other diseases in the future.
Our clinic offers:
Conveniently located in the Lake Arrowhead village, our clinic provides comprehensive care powered by the latest advancements in regenerative biotechnology.
We help vibrant locals optimize all aspects of health, performance and wellbeing potential through advanced hormone balancing solutions including peptide therapy.
Certain lifestyle factors can work synergistically with your peptide treatment plan:
Quality sleep of 7-9 hours allows hormones and tissues to regenerate. Time peptides to support sleep. Melatonin can help increase sleep drive if needed.
Properly timed around peptides, moderate exercise boosts hormone sensitivity. Aim for 30-60 minutes daily of strength/interval training. Yoga and stretching aid recovery.
Eat enough calories/macros for your goals. Consume high protein - about 0.7 to 1 gram per pound of bodyweight daily. Time carbs to fuel workouts. Support gut health.
Chronic stress raises cortisol and inflames tissues. Practice meditation, mindfulness, relaxing hobbies, or yoga for stress relief.
Daily direct sunlight exposure (without burning) increases vitamin D and nitric oxide for health. Walking remains a powerful therapeutic in Lake Arrowhead.
Get repeat bloodwork done periodically to ensure hormones are optimizing at proper levels and make dosage adjustments as needed.
We provide the needed medical supervision for successful, safe peptide treatment. Report any unusual reactions promptly so we can adjust your regimen accordingly.
Following individualized lifestyle optimization protocols can profoundly impact your peptide therapy outcomes in conjunction with your customized treatment plan. Contact us to get started.

Below we outline details around some of our most advanced regenerative peptide protocols.
GHRP 2, GHRP 6, Ipamorelin and second generation versions like Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 prompt potent natural growth hormone release when dosed in a pulsatile fashion. Suitable for anti-aging, body recomposition, recovery and longevity.
Basic Protocol: Inject pre-bed fasted 100-300 mcg GH peptide subq in abdomen/thighs, 3 x weekly. Time pulses >=3 hours apart from food/other peptides. Cycle 8-12 weeks with 4 week break.
GLP-1 mimetics like Exenatide bolster insulin output in a glucose-dependent manner. Useful for blood sugar control, neuroprotection, gut health and weight/fat loss.
Basic Protocol: Inject 3-15 mcg Exenatide subq pre-meals, 1-3 x daily. Start low, titrate dose gradually. Works well with ipamorelin or GHRPs.
BPC-157 and TB-500 heal leaky gut, injuries and speed post-surgery recovery. Counter inflammation and boost immunity.
Basic Protocol: Inject 300 mcg BPC-157 subq near injury area or abdomen, 2 x daily. Inject 2.5-5 mg TB-500 subq weekly. Run for minimum 6-8 weeks.
Cerebrolysin repairs and generates new brain cells. Semax and Selank modulate neurotransmitters for better cognitive function. Improve focus, memory mood and neural recovery.
