What are peptides?

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that serve as signaling molecules, essentially telling other molecules what to do next. They attach to receptor proteins and determine how your cells respond to stimuli. Peptides have a direct impact on many of your body’s most basic functions, including mood, libido, weight fluctuations, and immune regulation. Most notably, peptides play a vital role in delivering anti-aging and antimicrobial properties.

What is peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy is the process of supplementing your body’s natural peptide production with injections, creams, pellets, or oral tablets. Peptides help your body balance the human growth hormones, reduce signs of aging, and help you feel better. 

What are the benefits of peptide therapy?

Benefits associated with peptide therapy at Ludlow Longevity include:

• Enhanced recovery
• Improved body composition
• Better metabolic health

Peptide therapy is available as injections, oral tablets, creams, and nasal sprays. The team at Ludlow Longevity works with you to customize each treatment.

Is peptide therapy right for me?

At Ludlow Longevity, peptides are prescribed as part of select, physician-guided programs–namely the Athletic Reset and the Precision Longevity programs–when clinically appropriate. 

To determine if you’re a candidate for peptide therapy at Ludlow Longevity, Dr. Ludlow reviews your medical history and completes a physical examination via telehealth. He asks about possible symptoms, your preferences, and your desired treatment outcomes. 

Dr. Ludlow also recommends that you undergo blood testing to evaluate hormone levels. He works with you to develop a treatment plan that works best for you.

What should I expect during peptide therapy?

There’s no special preparation needed before undergoing peptide therapy. Dr. Ludlow can evaluate you via telehealth and prescribe peptides that can be safely self-administered at home. 

Over time, you can expect improvements in your body composition, energy levels, and metabolism. Periodic peptide therapy treatments can help you maintain your results long-term.

Dr. Ludlow checks in with you periodically to ensure that you’re not experiencing any complications and your treatment plan is working as it should. He can adjust your treatment plan as needed.
