Peptides are small chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. These are the building blocks of protein in our bodies. There are many types of peptides offering a wide variety of benefits from muscle-building to wound healing to anti-aging. Some are used in face creams to tighten skin and fight wrinkles, some are injected weekly with a small needle to help with weight loss, and some are taken under the tongue to encourage the production of human growth hormone.
At My Wellness Concierge, we work closely with our clients to recommend and provide customized peptide stacks to help you reach your specific goals. Below are just a few of the many peptides we offer.
Sermorelin is a peptide that promotes the body's release of human growth hormone, which drops significantly starting around age 30.
Using Sermorelin gives you all the benefits of an increased amount of growth hormone while preserving the normal circadian peaks and valleys of your body's own hGH release.
What are the proven benefits?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide found in human blood that possesses powerful anti-aging properties. It plays an important role in skin regeneration pathways, stimulating the repair of environmental damage from sun exposure.
In vivo studies show that GHK-Cu increases the rate of healing of burns by as much as 33%. It promotes healing by encouraging the growth of blood vessels. For this reason, GHK-Cu can be beneficial in the healing of diabetic ulcers and other slow-healing wounds.
GHK-Cu is also a proven treatment for hair loss. Whether a receding hairline, male-pattern baldness, or thinning after a viral infection, (COVID hair loss is a thing!) this peptide is a powerful weapon in the fight against hair loss. Dermatologists have found a sizable enlargement of hair follicles after using GHK-Cu topical cream, as well as an increase in blood flow to the scalp.

BPC stands for body protection compound, which was discovered and isolated from the human digestive tract. It plays a significant role in protecting the digestive tract lining from damage as well as encouraging blood flow.
BPC-157 has incredibly effective healing properties and has been shown to accelerate healing of many different woulds including gastric ulcers, IBS, muscle tears and damage, and ligament and joint injuries. It is also a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing certain oxidative stress markers in rodent and human studies.
The BPC-157 peptide has been shown to have remarkable angiogenic properties. This means it actually grows new capillary tissue, which greatly increases blood flow.
BPC-157 is also a proven pain reliever, providing relief without the side effects of long-term NSAID or acetaminophen use.

A GLP-1 is a prescription peptide very effective for weight loss, used in combination with diet and exercise. It’s a once-weekly injection given just under the skin. The dose is slowly increased based on how well you tolerate the effects. Once you have reached your goal weight, the dose can be slowly decreased.
Although GLP-1 has gained popularity with celebrities, it's not a "fad diet." It is an FDA-approved medication for weight loss in overweight individuals. When used along with dietary changes and exercise, semaglutide can produce long-term weight loss and health benefits!
These peptides basically work in three ways:
Research shows that use of a GLP-1 may also improve heart, liver, and lung function, while helping to slow or prevent the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Will I gain the weight back once I stop using it?
While you're taking a GLP-1 and losing weight, we will help you learn healthy habits and make lifestyle changes to maintain your weight once you stop. Like any weight loss method, if you return to your old ways, you will eventually gain weight. However, patients using a GLP-1 for six months or more are shown to keep the weight off long-term.
LDN increases endorphin levels, allowing for the immune system to be activated to help clear inflammation. Obese individuals maintain a significant amount of inflammation preventing weight loss. Using LDN will decrease inflammation, allowing for the body to be responsive to weight loss efforts.

Key anti-aging ingredients that boost results:
Estrogen and estradiol creams work by replenishing lost estrogen at a cellular level, stimulating collagen and elastin production, increasing skin hydration, and improving overall texture. Studies suggest that topical estradiol can lead to smoother, plumper, and more youthful skin, particularly in areas prone to fine lines and crepey texture, such as the face, neck, and décolletage.
How estrogen creams help fight the appearance of aging:
Key anti-aging ingredients in our creams that boost results:
While estrogen creams provide a biological boost to aging skin, other potent skincare ingredients work alongside it to accelerate skin renewal, repair damage, and enhance radiance.
As women approach menopause, loss of estrogen production from the ovaries can lead to the following vaginal changes: thinning of the outer layer of cells in the vaginal wall; loss of elasticity and folds in the vaginal skin; shortening and narrowing of the vaginal canal; reduction of vaginal lubrication/secretions; and less acidic ph. These changes can result in an increased risk for infection, inflammation, pain with sex, and decreased libido. The urinary tract also contains estrogen receptors. Women with loss of vaginal estrogen are at an increased risk for overactive bladder and urinary tract infections.
Studies have shown re-epithelializing urogenital tissue with vaginal estrogen can reduce UTI risk by up to 50%. Sexual benefits: Most women have reactive desire (they require arousal to have the desire for sexual activity); pain from vaginal tissue changes can significantly hinder arousal. Typically improving these changes can result in an improved libido.
