Bio-Hacking with Peptides

Biohacking is the use of cutting-edge technology and scientific techniques to rejuvenate one’s appearance and internal health. This can include treatments such as peptide therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement, and the use of growth factors and other biologic agents to promote a healthier, more confident lifestyle.

How Peptides Work to Combat Aging

Since peptides vary in structure and number, effects vary as well. Peptide therapy has been used to treat age-related conditions, osteoporosis, obesity, inflammatory disease and even neuropathy issues. This type of therapy provides a far less invasive alternative to medicines and procedures we have become all too familiar and complacent with.

These proteins are responsible for the way your body functions. Your weight loss, your sexual competence, and even your digestion processes are partially controlled by these proteins. Peptide therapy helps the body mimic the functions of naturally occurring peptides to emulate certain abilities on targeted areas.

Weight loss with Semaglutide

Semaglutide was first developed in 2012 by Novo Nordisk as a longer-acting option to Liraglutide. It was approved in 2017 as an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity and in June of 2021, was approved by the FDA for chronic weight management.

Semaglutide is in a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists. GLP-1 agonists work by stimulating your pancreas to increase insulin. This additional insulin causes the stomach to empty over a longer period of time.

The idea of the stomach processing food more slowly can seem counterintuitive to patients who have turned to stimulant-based diet pills in the past. However, this slow and consistent digestion is merely an early step in the process that makes semaglutide such an effective weight loss drug. When your stomach takes more time to empty itself, it sends signals of “fullness” to the brain. This has a powerful appetite suppression effect, which is based on the patient’s own natural insulin production. The exciting part of this is that patients can benefit from medically assisted weight loss without any need for invasive surgeries or harsh stimulants.

Semaglutide is by no means a “get thin quick” drug. This is intended to be a long-acting prescription medicine, designed to be used over the course of several months. The dosing of the drug is also incremental, starting at a low dose and increasing every 4 weeks. Establishing healthy habits while on Semaglutide will help sustain long term weight management and an overall healthier body. Semaglutide injectable treatments are an exceptionally beneficial tool to your weight loss journey. The drug functions best over the course of seven days. A small insulin size needle, subcutaneous injection is self-administered once per week. Side effects can be minimal to uncomfortable so it is important to be under the supervision of a medical professional to gauge the dose. Results are incredible and patients are reaching their ideal body weight without having to endure crash diets or the typical sleep loss, heart racing, feeling like your body is running without you – type diets and their side effects. While Semaglutide has fewer side effects than many other weight loss medicines on the market, like all medicines, it does have some risk of side effects. These include nausea, diarrhea, headaches, heartburn and constipation.

As with most peptide therapy programs, best results are evident after 6 months of treatment, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin programs are daily subcutaneous injections (best method) for 5 days straight, then 2 days off (easiest schedule is ON Monday-Friday, OFF Saturday & Sunday). Our program is 12 weeks at a time. Most importantly, patients see subtle changes such as restful sleep after the first 7-14 days and the best overall changes, including body composition, around month 3.

Epitalon

There are several benefits to using epitalon that will help you improve your quality of life. This product can lengthen telomeres, which will help extend life expectancy, promote cell replication and rejuvenation.

  • Improves the quality of sleep: Epitalon has been shown to increase melatonin production, which helps improve the quality of sleep. Can normalize the circadian rhythm.
  • Reduces inflammation: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce the inflammation by regulating mediators such as cytokines, C-reactive protein, and other acute phase reactants
  • Boosts the immune system: Epitalon has been shown to stimulate the production of immune cells, which helps protect the body against infections.
  • Slows down aging: Studies have shown that it can delay the onset of age-related diseases and improve overall health in the elderly.
  • It may hinder certain cancer: Some studies have suggested that epitalon may help protect against cancer by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
  • Increases cell rejuvenation: Promotes cell replication and rejuvenation, extending life expectancy by lengthening telomeres.
  • Possibly lowers dementia risk: Reduces the risk of dementia and other age-related impairments.
  • Potent Antioxidant: Has antioxidant properties and protects cells from oxidative damage.

GHK-Cu

Is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first identified in human plasma, but has recently been found in multiple locations such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, having anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts, and promoting blood vessel growth.

Evidence has shown that it acts as a feedback signal that is generated after tissue injury. It seems to act as a potent protector of tissue and it is an anti-inflammatory agent that controls the oxidative damage that occurs after tissue injury. Further, it then plays a big role in signaling tissue remodeling which removes damaged/scarred tissue and generates new, healthy tissue.

These positive effects decline with age because the concentration of GHK-Cu in the body decreases with age. Thus, there is an increase in inflammation, cancerous activity, and tissue destruction. In plasma, the level of GHK-Cu is about 200 ng/ml at age 20. By the age of 60, the level drops to 80 ng/ml.

When our bodies run smoothly, we tend to feel great and not think of any potential issues. Once things are not working as systematically, we often internalize our stresses and feel it in our “gut”.

Our “gut” is filled with a series of organs — mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon, all of which work to transform the food we eat into the nutrients our bodies need in which to thrive and survive. When things are wrong, we often feel symptoms including an upset stomach, constipation, heartburn or gas. These are commonly referred to as “gut reactions” and they can be painful, disruptive, and even, embarrassing.

Common gut issues are not segregated to any certain age, in fact, GI doctors today are reporting that they are frequently seeing teenagers and our youth as young as toddlers.

If you have ever suffered from gut issues or know of anyone who has, you can empathize with the frustration and the continued search for relief.

80 percent of our immune system resides in our gut. The state of our gut, therefore, helps determine how we feel both mentally and physically. The relationship between good and bad gut bacteria is the secret to a healthier you. When your gut bacteria is properly balanced, it is happy and supporting a strong immune system and body.

Known as a “stable gastric pentadecapeptide”, primarily because it is stable in human gastric juice, BPC-157 or Body Protection Compound, can cause an anabolic healing effect in both the upper and lower GI tract, it has an anti-ulcer effect, and produces a therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with no side effects.

As demonstrated in many research studies, BPC-157 also accelerates wound healing, and, via interaction with the Nitric Oxide (NO) system, causes protection of endothelial tissue and an “angiogenic” (blood vessel building) wound healing effect. This occurs even in severely impaired conditions, such as in advanced and poorly controlled irritable bowel disease, in which it stimulates expression of genes responsible for cytokine and growth factor generation and also extracellular matrix (collagen) formation, along with intestinal anastomosis healing, reversal of short bowel syndrome and fistula healing – all of which can extremely frustrating issues in people who have gut pain, constipation, diarrhea and bowel inflammation.
