In the evolving world of functional medicine, peptides have rapidly become one of the most powerful and personalized tools for healing. These targeted amino-acid chains act as internal messengers, directing your body to repair, regenerate, and restore balance.
At gIVe, peptides are used to support clients at the root-cause level—optimizing metabolic health, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, and improving vitality from the inside out.
Whether you’re seeking improved energy, better sleep, fat-metabolism support, or longevity benefits, peptide therapy provides a natural and highly effective pathway toward whole-body wellness.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as cellular signals. They tell your body how to function—stimulating repair, regulating immunity, and influencing hormones, metabolism, and inflammation.
Because peptides mimic natural processes already occurring in the body, they enhance your physiology rather than overriding it.
Peptides help restore the body's own healing pathways, making them ideal for clients experiencing chronic stress, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalance, or metabolic resistance.
Why Peptides Belong in Functional Medicine
Functional medicine aims to uncover and treat the root causes of imbalance. Peptides fit beautifully into this model because they:
Repair and rebuild tissues
Balance endocrine and metabolic pathways
Strengthen cellular resilience
Reduce systemic inflammation
Improve mitochondrial function
Support neurological health
Address specific dysfunctions without suppressing symptoms
At gIVe, peptides are prescribed based on your labs, genetics, symptoms, and long-term wellness goals to ensure a fully personalized protocol.
Top Peptides Used in Functional Wellness (and Why They Matter)
1. BPC-157: Gut + Tissue Repair
Heals the gastrointestinal lining
Reduces inflammation
Accelerates tendon/ligament recovery
Improves digestion and reduces bloating
Perfect for clients experiencing gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, injuries, or post-surgical healing needs.
2. Microdosing Tirzepatide: Metabolic Flexibility + Inflammation Reduction
As a dual GLP-1/GIP peptide, tirzepatide represents a new wave of metabolic healing. At microdosed levels, it supports the body more gently than full therapeutic dosing, resulting in fewer side effects while still providing deep metabolic benefits.
Benefits include:
Stabilized blood sugar + insulin patterns
Improved satiety and reduced cravings
Increased metabolic flexibility
Decreased systemic inflammation
Enhanced cardiovascular and mitochondrial support
Microdosing tirzepatide supports metabolic pathways without overwhelming the system. It pairs especially well with gut healing, cortisol optimization, and lifestyle strategies at gIVe through our Optimal YOU program.
3. CJC 1295 + Ipamorelin: Hormone + Recovery Support
Boosts natural growth hormone production
Enhances deep sleep
Improves muscle tone, energy, and recovery
Supports metabolism
A safe, physiologic way to enhance hormone signaling without using synthetic hormones.
4. Epitalon: Longevity + Cellular Aging
Supports DNA protection
Enhances antioxidant activity
Regulates circadian rhythm
Promotes healthy aging
Works at the cellular level to support longevity, sleep, and overall resilience.
How gIVe Creates Personalized Peptide Protocols
Every client at gIVe Wellness receives a custom-designed peptide plan and evaluation from our Medical Director, Allison Galloway, FNP-C.
Functional lab analysis
We recommend everyone starts with our Baseline Wellness Panel as we assess hormones, cortisol, gut health, metabolic markers, genetics, and inflammation to determine the most aligned peptides.
Precision-based personalization
Your genetics, lifestyle, nervous system state, and long-term goals guide every peptide we select.
Therapeutic synergy
Peptides are layered with IV therapy, wellness coaching, gut healing, and metabolic support for amplified results.
Ongoing monitoring + optimization
We track progress, labs, symptoms, and responses to ensure the protocol is always working with the body.
Benefits Clients Experience with Peptide Therapy at gIVe
Increased energy + clarity
Peptides optimize mitochondrial function and circadian rhythm.
Improved gut health
GI peptides repair the gut lining and reduce inflammation.
Enhanced metabolic balance
Microdosed tirzepatide and metabolic peptides improve fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Better recovery + physical performance
Growth-hormone peptides help with muscle restoration and physical resilience.
Stronger immune function
Certain peptides modulate immunity for fewer flares and improved resilience.
Healthier aging
Longevity peptides support cellular repair, sleep cycles, and DNA integrity.
Why Peptide Therapy Is Growing So Quickly
Peptides offer something rare: targeted, natural, root-cause healing. They have the precision of modern biotechnology with the wisdom of the body’s innate intelligence.
When integrated into the functional medicine framework we use at gIVe, peptide therapy becomes not just supportive—but transformative.
