What are Peptides & How do They Work?

Peptides are naturally occurring cell-signaling molecules. In therapy, specific peptides are selected to activate the body’s own repair pathways, for example stimulating growth-hormone release for body composition, supporting tissue healing after strain, modulating sleep architecture, or helping metabolic pathways burn fat.

For you, this may provide a targeted, low-dose approach for goals such as body recomposition, recovery, sleep quality, and healthy aging, with protocols that may be self-administered at home, with RN guidance and oversight.

Peptide Therapy

How it Works

Vitamin D, often dubbed the "sunshine vitamin," is crucial for overall health but often overlooked. It plays a vital role in bone health, immune function, and disease prevention. Understanding its sources, functions, and the risks of deficiency is essential for maintaining optimal health.

Nature of Vitamin D: It's a hormone produced by the body in response to UVB light, crucial for numerous bodily functions.
Production: Generated by skin when exposed to UVB radiation between 290-303nm, using cholesterol to synthesize Vitamin D3.
Deficiency Risks: Links to colon and breast cancer, fibromyalgia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity.
Absorption and Utilization: Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption in the intestines; without it, calcium intake is ineffective.
Dietary Sources: Very few natural sources, like Cod Liver Oil and UV-exposed mushrooms, contain significant amounts.
Inadequacy of Dietary Vitamin D: Food mostly contains Vitamin D2, which is less effective than the D3 produced by skin exposure to sunlight.
Indoor Lifestyle: With 92% of time spent indoors, Americans are particularly prone to Vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient UVB exposure.
Impact of Skin Pigmentation: Individuals with dark skin need significantly more sunlight exposure to produce the same levels of Vitamin D as those with fair skin.
UVB Exposure: The most effective way to generate Vitamin D naturally. Supplementation needs vary greatly among individuals, often requiring extended periods to correct deficiencies.
Protection vs. Production: Sunscreens, while protective against skin cancer, inhibit Vitamin D production by up to 95%.
Metabolic Activation: Vitamin D undergoes activation in the kidneys and liver, underscoring its hormonal nature and systemic importance.
