Schedule your telehealth consultation online today.

What is peptide therapy? 

Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids, called peptides, to support specific functions within the body. Peptides occur naturally and play a role in many biological processes.

Depending on your needs and health goals, peptide therapy and related wellness treatments may fit into a personalized care plan. At Mehlhoff Mind and Body, Deanna evaluates your overall health through remote virtual visits to determine which options align with your goals.

How does peptide therapy work? 

Peptides act as signaling molecules within the body, and different peptides interact with different biological pathways.

Deanna reviews your symptoms, medical history, medications, supplements, and wellness objectives before recommending treatment. She tailors your care plan to your individual health profile rather than following a standardized approach, allowing you to manage your care from anywhere in the country.

What types of peptide therapy are available? 

Mehlhoff Mind and Body offers a variety of peptide and wellness therapies based on your individual needs. During your virtual consult, Deanna may discuss options related to:

• Weight loss and metabolism: Semaglutide, tirzepatide, MOTS-C, and tesamorelin
• Muscle growth and performance: CJC-1295/ipamorelin
• Recovery and injury support: BPC-157, Wolverine, GLOW, KLOW, and GHK-Cu

• Healthy metabolism and weight management

Am I a candidate for peptide therapy?

Whether peptide therapy is appropriate depends on your medical history, current health, symptoms, medications, and treatment goals.

Deanna completes a comprehensive remote assessment and may order laboratory testing to help guide your care. Because not every therapy is appropriate for every patient, she reviews the potential benefits, risks, and treatment considerations with you before recommending a course of treatment.

What can I expect during a peptide therapy consultation via telehealth? 

Because Mehlhoff Mind and Body operates strictly online, you can receive expert care without leaving your home. During your secure video appointment, Deanna will:

• Review your medical history and current symptoms
• Discuss your health and wellness goals
• Review your medications and supplements
• Recommend laboratory testing, if appropriate
• Discuss therapies that may fit your needs
• Answer your questions
• Develop a personalized treatment plan
