Peptide therapy involves injecting amino acid chains called peptides to positively impact various systems and functions in the body. At Equilibrium Hormone Institute in Port Orchard, we offer customized peptide injections to help patients experiencing hormone deficits and other issues that may benefit from peptide supplementation.
Peptides act as signaling molecules that tell the body to increase or decrease certain functions. They bind to receptors on cells and influence cell behavior and communication. Many peptides occur naturally in the body, but as we age, their production declines leading to hormone imbalances. Administering peptides can help restore optimal levels.
Patients choose peptide therapy for several reasons:
Peptides provide targeted benefits with little to no side effects when expertly administered. Our medical team specializes in customized peptide therapies to meet each patient's needs.
Many patients come to Equilibrium Hormone Institute struggling with hormone deficiencies caused by aging, poor lifestyle habits, injuries, illness or other factors. Let's discuss what leads to deficiencies and why prompt treatment matters.
Hormone production naturally decreases with age, but many lifestyle stresses also contribute by disrupting endocrine function:
Detecting deficient hormone levels early on can prevent progression to more concerning symptoms like:
Testosterone deficiency: low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, depression, fatigue
Estrogen/progesterone imbalance: hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, irregular periods
Thyroid disorders: unexplained weight gain, constipation, sensitivity to cold, muscle weakness, hair loss
Growth hormone decline: increased belly fat, thinning skin, reduced bone density, decreased stamina
Oxytocin deficit: impaired social skills, loneliness, relationship issues, low self-esteem
The wide-ranging nature of these symptoms means patients often struggle for years without identifying hormonal imbalance as the underlying cause.
Left untreated, hormonal dysregulation can negatively impact nearly every body system leading to declining health and reduced quality of life over time. Hormone therapy seeks to halt and reverse this deterioration. The sooner treatment begins, the more effectively hormones can be rebalanced for optimal wellness.
Equilibrium Hormone Institute in Port Orchard offers advanced hormone testing and comprehensive treatment plans involving peptide injections, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and other modalities tailored to correct deficiencies and get patients feeling their best again.
Accurate hormonal assessments provide the foundation for effective treatment approaches. We utilize advanced testing methodologies to pinpoint specific deficits. Standards panels include: - Hormone blood tests: testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, IGF-1, cortisol - Micronutrient tests: vitamins D3, B12 and mineral analysis - Genetic testing: identifies predispositions to hormonal issues
Hormone therapy protocols are carefully personalized for each patient's lab results, medical history and treatment goals such as targeting: - Low testosterone or estrogen - Adrenal and thyroid disorders - Neurotransmitter imbalances - Metabolic or circadian issues - Immune support
After an initial optimizing period, patients transition to a maintenance plan focused on sustaining progress through periodic testing and dosage adjustments as needed.
Equilibrium Hormone Institute provides access to a variety of revitalizing therapies:
- Sermorelin stimulates growth hormone production - IPT-157 accelerates injury repair - AOD 9604 aids fat metabolism for weight loss - BPC-157 promotes tissue healing - Thymosin Beta-4 supports immune regulation
- Testosterone replacement via injections, pellets or gels - Estrogen modulation for women - IV therapy delivering customized blends of vitamins, antioxidants and aminos - Wellness supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone and melatonin
Equilibrium Hormone Institute clinicians constantly research emerging sciences to provide access to the latest life-enhancing innovations.
While medications constitute foundational hormone balancing elements, lifestyle components also significantly impact treatment efficacy and overall wellbeing. Our providers offer evidence-based guidance regarding:
Nutrition: Meal plans to control insulin, cortisol and inflammation while providing micronutrient support
Exercise: Activity recommendations aligned with personal fitness levels and goals
Stress reduction: Counseling on mindfulness, yoga, massage and other techniques
Improved sleep hygiene: Behavioral approaches to support restorative rest
Peptides injections can be used for food allergy immunotherapy. Certain peptides that trigger immune responses similar to food allergens are being studied as a way to retrain the immune system and reduce reactivity to problem foods, offering hope for developing immunotherapies for common food allergies like peanuts and milk.
