Peptide therapy uses peptides, short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body, as part of a personalized treatment plan. At Nevy Health in Mesa, peptide therapy is offered through our naturopathic team after an evaluation of your health history, lab work and goals.

Our naturopathic doctors' experience includes peptide therapy, hormone optimization, IV therapy and lifestyle medicine. Peptides are rarely a stand-alone treatment here. They are usually one part of a plan that may also include nutrition, hormone support and other care from our integrated team.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. Your body makes many peptides on its own, and they help send signals between cells. Therapeutic peptides are prescribed by a provider for a specific purpose in your treatment plan, and many are given as a small injection just under the skin.

What do patients ask about peptide therapy for?

Patients often ask about peptides as part of care for:

• Energy, fatigue and recovery
• Hormone health, alongside menopause care or male hormone deficiency treatment
• Weight management, alongside our medical weight loss program
• Recovery from sports and everyday injuries
• Healthy aging and long-term wellness

Your provider will talk with you about which peptides, if any, are appropriate for your goals and available for your plan.

What to expect with peptide therapy at Nevy Health

1. Evaluation: your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, medications, supplements and goals.
2. Lab work: blood work may be ordered so your plan is based on your own results.
3. Your plan: you decide together whether peptides fit, which ones, and how they will be given. If you use injections at home, you will be shown how.
4. Follow-up: regular check-ins let your provider see how you are doing and adjust your plan.

You can fill in intake forms ahead of time on our patient forms page. Bring a list of your medications and supplements and any recent lab results.

Part of a whole-person plan

Peptide therapy works alongside the rest of our care. Your plan may also include nutritional counseling, IV nutrition, hormone therapy such as Biote pellets, and lifestyle and sleep support. Our naturopathic doctors, family practice providers and chiropractors work in the same east Mesa office, so your care stays coordinated.
