Your Guide to Modern Peptide Therapy
What You Need to Know Before Getting Started.
A modern, medically supervised tool to support weight, hormones, metabolism & longevity — personalized for women in midlife.
Peptide therapy has become one of the fastest-growing tools in the wellness and longevity space — and for good reason. Many of these compounds work with your body’s own signaling systems to support metabolism, hormonal balance, recovery, skin health, cognition, gut repair, and more.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner & Menopause Coaching Specialist, I love education that helps women make empowered, informed decisions. If you’re curious about peptides and if they might support your wellness goals, this guide breaks down each product, what it does, and why it’s becoming so popular.
This is not medical advice — simply the science-based, physiology-focused education women deserve.
What Are Peptides, and Why Are They Everywhere?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body. They signal your cells to repair, regenerate, burn fat, build muscle, improve sleep, boost energy, and support metabolic balance.
They don’t override your biology —they activate it.
As we age — especially in midlife and perimenopause — these natural signaling pathways become less efficient. Many women notice slower metabolism, disrupted sleep, mood changes, stubborn weight, and longer recovery time.
Peptide therapy aims to nudge those systems back online.
It’s why I have partnered with Ellie MD, a trusted Peptide Therapy Company that offers a range of options, from metabolic support to sexual wellness, gut healing, tissue repair, and cognitive performance.
Let’s break them down in a clear, easy-to-understand way.
What I Offer Through My Partnership With EllieMD
Working with EllieMD allows me to provide a safe, streamlined, medically supported peptide experience for my clients. Here’s exactly what you get:
1. Access to Prescription-Grade Peptides
EllieMD uses licensed medical providers who review your health history and determine whether peptide therapy is appropriate for you.
If approved, your prescription is filled through a U.S.-based compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to your home.
2. A Full Menu of High-Quality Peptides
With EllieMD, you have access to the following peptide therapy:
1. GLP-1 + B12
Supports: Appetite regulation, cravings, blood sugar balance, weight management.
GLP-1 mimics a natural hormone that helps you feel full, slows digestion, reduces cravings, and stabilizes blood sugar. Pairing it with B12 helps maintain energy and neurological function — especially important for women who experience fatigue during metabolic changes.
2. GLP-1 + GIP + B12 (Dual Agonist)
Supports: Metabolic efficiency, appetite control, fat loss, energy.
This newer dual pathway works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, making it more efficient for appetite suppression, glucose control, and metabolic rate. Many people find it produces smoother energy and more consistent results than GLP-1 alone.
Supports: Cognitive clarity, focus, brain energy, neuroinflammation.
It’s used to support brain recovery, reduce “brain fog,” and enhance concentration by helping neurons function more efficiently and reducing inflammatory pathways in the brain.
Supports: Libido, sexual desire, and arousal.
PT-141 works directly on the brain’s melanocortin system — not the vascular system — which means improvements in desire and libido can occur regardless of hormone levels or menopausal stage.
Supports: Sexual wellness, arousal, mood, energy.
The overall purpose is to support blood flow, sensitivity, and sexual excitement. It’s often chosen by women (and men) seeking a gentle, natural-feeling option for boosting intimacy, connection and desire.
6. B12
Supports: Energy, red blood cell formation, neurological function, detox pathways.
B12 is foundational for women in midlife — especially if fatigue, brain fog, low mood, or vegetarian/low-protein diets are factors.
Supports: Natural growth hormone signaling, body composition, sleep, recovery.
Instead of giving growth hormone directly, sermorelin stimulates your own pituitary gland. Women often use it to support deeper sleep, muscle repair, improved body composition, collagen formation, and exercise recovery.
8. NAD+
Supports: Cellular energy, mitochondrial function, cognitive clarity, healthy aging.
NAD+ levels decline with age, stress, toxins, and poor sleep. Restoring NAD+ helps cells produce ATP (energy) more efficiently, supports DNA repair, and enhances overall vitality. Many describe it as feeling “recharged from the inside out.
A popular combination for whole-body healing and repair.
BPC-157
Supports: Gut lining repair, inflammation balance, connective tissue healing, blood flow.
TB-500
Supports: Muscle recovery, soft tissue repair, flexibility, cellular regeneration.
Together:
Faster recovery from training or overuse
Less joint or tendon irritation
Support for gut and systemic inflammation
Stronger tissue repair signals
This combo is often used by athletes, active women, and anyone recovering from chronic stress, injury, or gut issues.
Supports: Skin rejuvenation, collagen production, hair health, anti-inflammatory repair.
This peptide is most popular in skincare — known for reducing fine lines, increasing firmness, improving texture, and supporting hair regrowth. It communicates directly with skin cells to promote healing and youthful regeneration.
