Peptide Therapy

At Wildflower Integrative Medicine in Greeley, Colorado, Stacey O’Hara, CRNP can provide and help manage peptide therapy.  Peptide therapy is a medical treatment that uses short chains of amino acids—called peptides to send highly targeted signals in the body.   These signals can stimulate healing, regulate hormones, improve metabolism, enhance immune function, or support anti‑aging processes. In short: peptides act like tiny messengers that tell your cells what to do, and peptide therapy uses them intentionally to improve specific biological functions.

Each peptide has a different purpose. Some of the most widely used include:

• Growth hormone peptides — support muscle, fat loss, recovery (e.g., CJC‑1295, Ipamorelin)

• Healing peptides — accelerate tissue repair (e.g., BPC‑157, TB‑500)

• Metabolic/weight‑loss peptides — regulate appetite and insulin (e.g., GLP‑1 agonists like semaglutide)

• Immune‑modulating peptides — support immune balance (e.g., Thymosin Alpha‑1)

• Cognitive peptides — support focus, memory, mood (e.g., Semax, Selank)
