Does this sound familiar?
You have heard about peptides. You want to know what is real.
You may have seen peptides mentioned for recovery, sleep, energy or healthy aging, and found a lot of bold claims and very few straight answers.
- Recovery that takes longer than it used to
- Sleep and energy that are not what they were
- Changes in body composition that effort alone has not shifted
- Uncertainty about what is safe, legal and appropriate for you
- A wish for guidance from people who will tell you honestly
If that sounds familiar, wanting careful, honest information is a good instinct. Prescription peptides are medications, and decisions about them belong with a licensed provider who knows your health history.

A different way to see it
Why peptides are never the whole answer
Peptides act as signals in the body, and signals work within a system. If your nervous system is stuck in constant alarm, sleep is short and daily habits are working against you, no single treatment is likely to carry the load on its own.
It is difficult to make lasting change when your nervous system is in a threatened state.
That is why peptide therapy at Integrated Functional Health is built on education and coaching. Where an independent provider decides a peptide is appropriate, it becomes one part of a wider plan for sleep, stress, nutrition and movement.
Regulate. Integrate. Optimize.
How peptides fit into a bigger plan
Coaching sessions are 45 minutes, at our Bettendorf clinic or online. Any medical care comes from your independent provider, and the coaching follows the three principles behind everything at Integrated Functional Health.

Regulate
Settle the stress response and support sleep, so your body feels safe enough to rest, recover and respond to change.
-
02
Integrate

Who it is for
Is peptide therapy worth exploring for you?
A good fit
- You are an adult interested in support for recovery, sleep, energy, body composition or healthy aging
- You want honest education before making any decision
- You are willing to complete a health history for review by an independent licensed provider
- You want a plan that includes sleep, stress, nutrition and movement, not only a treatment
Probably not the right fit if
- You want a prescription without a medical review
- You are looking for a quick fix or a guaranteed result
- You compete in tested sport, where several peptides are prohibited
- You have new, severe or quickly worsening symptoms. See your doctor first, or call 911 in an emergency.
Eligibility is decided by an independent licensed medical provider after reviewing your health history. Not everyone who is interested will be a candidate.

Questions
Questions about peptide therapy
Does Integrated Functional Health prescribe peptides?
Prescribing is done by an independent licensed medical provider, and Integrated Functional Health provides the education and coaching around it. The provider reviews your health history, decides whether a peptide is appropriate for you and prescribes when it is. An independent licensed pharmacy dispenses any medication.
Which peptides are available?
For recovery: BPC-157 and BPC-157 with TB-500. For energy and metabolism: NAD+, MOTS-c and Lipo-B. For healthy aging: epithalon, glutathione and sermorelin. For weight loss, see medical weight loss. Your independent licensed provider decides which, if any, is right for you.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Your body makes many of them naturally, and they act as signals between cells. Some peptide medications are used in healthcare for specific purposes. Whether any peptide is appropriate for you is a medical decision made by a licensed provider.
Are peptides FDA approved?
Some peptides are FDA approved medications for specific uses. Many peptides discussed in wellness care are not FDA approved for those uses, and compounded medications are not FDA approved. Your independent medical provider will explain the status of anything they recommend, along with its possible benefits and risks.
How are peptides taken?
Most are a small injection under the skin with a very fine needle, on a set rhythm such as five days on and two days off, or once a week. Your provider sets the dose and schedule, and each medication page explains what the routine looks like.
Who is peptide therapy for?
Adults interested in support for areas such as recovery, sleep, energy, body composition or healthy aging, where an independent licensed provider decides it is appropriate. It is not right for everyone, and eligibility is decided at a medical assessment.
Is this available online?
Education and coaching are available at our Bettendorf clinic or online by telehealth. Your health history is completed online and reviewed by an independent licensed provider, and availability can depend on the state where you live.

It is a 30 minute conversation with Matt, at the clinic or by telehealth. You talk about your goals, your health and what you have already tried, and Matt explains how the medical assessment works. There is no cost, no obligation and no prescription on the consult.
