Peptide Therapy

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally function as signaling molecules within the body. Peptide therapy involves the use of selected compounds as part of an individualized wellness plan based on a patient's health history, goals and clinical evaluation.

Depending on the individual, peptide therapy may be discussed in connection with goals involving metabolic wellness, recovery, performance, healthy aging, sleep, cognitive wellness, sexual wellness, skin and hair health, or overall vitality.

The appropriate approach depends on your individual medical evaluation and should not be considered a one-size-fits-all treatment.

Peptide selection should be based on more than a specific symptom or wellness goal. Your provider will consider your medical history, current health, medications, priorities and other relevant information before discussing appropriate options.

Yes. A consultation allows your provider to review your goals, health history and other relevant clinical information before determining whether peptide therapy may be appropriate for you.

Laboratory testing may be recommended depending on your health history, symptoms, wellness goals and the therapy being considered. Your provider will determine whether testing is appropriate as part of your evaluation.

The method of administration varies depending on the specific therapy. Some options may be administered by injection, while others may use different delivery methods. Your provider will explain the recommended approach and provide instructions when treatment is prescribed.

There is no universal treatment duration. The length of a peptide program can vary based on the therapy selected, your goals, response, medical considerations and your provider's recommendations.

Individual response varies. The timeline depends on the therapy, your health status, the goal being addressed and other personal factors. Your provider can discuss realistic expectations during your consultation and follow-up visits.

Safety depends on the specific therapy, the individual receiving it and appropriate medical supervision. Peptide therapy may not be suitable for everyone, and potential risks, benefits, contraindications and alternatives should be reviewed with your provider before treatment.

In some cases, peptide therapy may be incorporated into a broader wellness plan that includes nutrition, hormone optimization, weight-management strategies, lifestyle recommendations or other treatments. Your provider will determine which combinations may be appropriate for you.

No. NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme rather than a peptide. However, it may be discussed alongside peptide therapy as part of a broader personalized wellness strategy focused on areas such as energy, recovery and healthy aging.

The first step is to request a personalized consultation. During your visit, the MD Touch team can discuss your goals, review your health history and determine whether peptide therapy or another wellness approach may be appropriate for you.
