What Are Peptides? Your Body’s Master Signaling Molecules

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as essential signaling molecules throughout your body. Think of them as tiny messengers that deliver instructions to your cells, telling them how to function, communicate, and heal.

We naturally produce various peptides, but their levels can decline due to age, stress, illness, and environmental toxins. This decline can lead to breakdowns in communication between your body’s systems, resulting in the chronic symptoms you may be experiencing.

  • Precision Medicine: Unlike larger proteins, peptides are small and can be designed to target specific cellular receptors with incredible precision, offering a targeted approach to healing without the side effects of broader-acting medications.
  • Natural & Biological: Peptide therapy works with your body’s innate intelligence, supporting its natural processes rather than introducing foreign chemicals.

Peptide therapy can be a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of chronic health issues, including:

  • Unexplained Fatigue & Low Energy
  • Hormonal Imbalances (Thyroid, Adrenal, Sex Hormones)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How are peptides administered?

Most peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection (a very small needle into the fatty tissue). Some are available in oral or nasal spray forms. Dr. Roba will guide you on the proper, easy-to-learn technique.

How soon will I see results?

Some people feel changes in energy and sleep within days. For deeper healing and chronic conditions, it may take several weeks to months as the peptides work to repair systems at a cellular level.

Are peptides safe?

When prescribed by a knowledgeable medical professional like Dr. Roba, peptides are very safe. We use peptides that are FDA-approved for research and compounded in top-tier, accredited pharmacies. They are biological molecules, not synthetic drugs.
