IS PEPTIDE THERAPY COVERED BY INSURANCE?

Most compounded peptides are not covered by insurance and are considered self-pay. Semaglutide may be covered by some plans when prescribed for Type 2 diabetes or obesity with qualifying criteria. The initial consultation visit with Dr. Weber-Lopez may be billable to insurance. We'll help clarify what may or may not be covered before you commit.

CAN I USE PEPTIDES WHILE TAKING TESTOSTERONE OR OTHER MEDICATIONS?

In most cases, yes — peptides are frequently used alongside testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and complement it well. Dr. Weber-Lopez manages testosterone optimization at ProPeak and is well-positioned to integrate peptide protocols safely with your existing treatment. A complete medication and supplement review is part of your initial consultation.

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES

TARGETED SIGNALS
FOR YOUR BODY

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers — signaling your cells to repair tissue, release growth hormone, reduce inflammation, and optimize recovery. Unlike broad-spectrum drugs, each peptide targets a specific pathway with precision.

At ProPeak, Dr. Weber-Lopez uses peptide therapy as a physician-grade tool: lab work drives the protocol, dosing is individualized, and outcomes are tracked. This is not a wellness spa service — it's medical-grade optimization delivered by a sports medicine specialist who has managed the health of professional athletes.

Peptides are particularly powerful when combined with other ProPeak therapies like PRP, testosterone optimization, or post-surgical rehabilitation to accelerate and deepen results.

WHAT PEPTIDES CAN ADDRESS

→ Slow or incomplete injury recovery

→ Chronic tendon, muscle, or joint pain

→ Post-surgical healing acceleration

→ Low energy, poor sleep, brain fog

→ Suboptimal GH/IGF-1 levels

→ Body composition (fat loss / lean mass)

→ Age-related performance decline

→ Sexual health & libido

WHAT TO EXPECT

→ Initial consultation & lab panel

→ Personalized peptide protocol

→ Pharmacy-sourced, high-purity peptides

→ Ongoing monitoring & dose adjustment

→ Integration with your existing care plan

OUR PEPTIDE FORMULARY

PEPTIDES WE USE

Dr. Weber-Lopez selects from a curated set of well-researched peptides based on your goals and lab results. Protocols often combine two or more peptides for synergistic effect.

MOST REQUESTED

BPC-157

BODY PROTECTION COMPOUND

Derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice, BPC-157 is one of the most studied healing peptides. It promotes tendon, muscle, ligament, and cartilage repair with remarkable speed — often becoming the cornerstone of post-injury protocols.

TENDON REPAIR

MUSCLE HEALING

JOINT RECOVERY

GUT HEALTH

TB-500

THYMOSIN BETA-4

A naturally occurring protein fragment that promotes angiogenesis, reduces inflammation, and accelerates wound healing. Often stacked with BPC-157 for a synergistic "healing stack" targeting both soft tissue and systemic recovery.

SOFT TISSUE

INFLAMMATION

FLEXIBILITY

WOUND HEALING

CJC-1295

WITH IPAMORELIN

A powerful growth hormone-releasing combination. CJC-1295 extends GH pulses while Ipamorelin stimulates GH release selectively — producing lean mass gain, fat reduction, improved sleep quality, and faster recovery without cortisol or prolactin spikes.

GH OPTIMIZATION

FAT LOSS

LEAN MUSCLE

SLEEP

SEMAGLUTIDE

GLP-1 RECEPTOR AGONIST

A clinically validated GLP-1 receptor agonist for meaningful, sustained weight loss under physician supervision. Reduces appetite, improves metabolic markers, and supports body recomposition — particularly effective when paired with structured exercise and nutrition guidance.

WEIGHT LOSS

METABOLISM

BLOOD SUGAR

INFLAMMATION

LL-37

CATHELICIDIN ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE

A host defense peptide with potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Used for chronic inflammatory conditions, immune modulation, and as an adjunct in post-surgical protocols where infection risk or slow healing is a concern.

IMMUNE SUPPORT

INFLAMMATION

WOUND HEALING

PT-141

BREMELANOTIDE

A melanocortin receptor agonist that acts centrally to enhance sexual health and libido in both men and women. Distinct from ED medications — it works through the nervous system rather than vascular mechanisms, offering an option for patients who don't respond to other treatments.

LIBIDO

SEXUAL HEALTH

MEN & WOMEN

SERMORELIN

GHRH ANALOGUE

A growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue that stimulates the pituitary to produce GH naturally. A gentler entry point into GH optimization — particularly useful for patients in their 40s and 50s noticing the classic signs of age-related GH decline.

ANTI-AGING

ENERGY

BONE DENSITY

RECOVERY

KPV

LYSINE-PROLINE-VALINE

A tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH with powerful anti-inflammatory and gut-healing effects. Particularly valuable for patients with inflammatory bowel conditions, leaky gut, or systemic inflammation driving musculoskeletal pain and poor recovery.

GUT HEALING

INFLAMMATION

AUTOIMMUNE

DSIP

DELTA SLEEP-INDUCING PEPTIDE

Naturally produced in the hypothalamus, DSIP promotes deep, restorative delta-wave sleep and reduces stress hormones. Sleep is the most underutilized recovery tool in sports medicine — optimizing it with DSIP can dramatically amplify the effect of every other protocol.

DEEP SLEEP

RECOVERY

STRESS

PERFORMANCE

GOAL-BASED PROGRAMS

WHY PROPEAK

PHYSICIAN-GRADE PEPTIDES,
NOT A WELLNESS PACKAGE

Peptide therapy is increasingly available through telehealth platforms and wellness spas — often without labs, without oversight, and without clinical context. ProPeak is different.

01

LAB-DRIVEN PROTOCOLS

Every peptide program starts with bloodwork. Hormone panels, IGF-1, inflammatory markers, and metabolic labs inform which peptides you need and at what dose — not a quiz or a symptom checklist.

02

SPORTS MEDICINE CONTEXT

Dr. Weber-Lopez manages your peptides within your full picture: injuries, training load, other therapies. A GH-releasing peptide prescribed alongside a PRP injection protocol produces compoundingly better outcomes.

03

PHARMACY-GRADE PURITY

ProPeak sources exclusively from FDA-registered, licensed compounding pharmacies. Every batch is tested for purity and potency — you know what you're injecting.

04

ONGOING MONITORING

We track your results, adjust doses, and repeat labs at appropriate intervals. Peptide therapy is not a prescription-and-goodbye service at ProPeak — it's an active, evolving protocol.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU

WHO BENEFITS MOST

Peptide therapy is not for everyone. Dr. Weber-Lopez will determine candidacy during your consultation. Common profiles include:

Athletes with recurring or slow-healing injuries

Post-surgical patients wanting to accelerate recovery

Active adults 35+ noticing performance or body composition decline

Patients on testosterone therapy looking to enhance results

Individuals with chronic tendon or joint pain unresponsive to standard care

Anyone seeking physician-supervised weight loss without surgery

Patients with poor sleep, low energy, or brain fog impacting performance

Men and women seeking optimized sexual health and vitality

COMMON QUESTIONS

PEPTIDE THERAPY FAQ

Most therapeutic peptides used in clinical practice are prescribed as compounded medications through licensed compounding pharmacies — not FDA-approved drugs. However, they are prescribed and dispensed legally under physician supervision. Semaglutide is a notable exception as an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. Dr. Weber-Lopez will explain the regulatory status of each peptide in your protocol during your consultation.

Most peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection — a very small needle into the fatty tissue under the skin (similar to insulin injections). Some peptides are available as oral capsules or nasal sprays. ProPeak will train you on self-injection technique and provide all necessary supplies. Injections are typically done at home on a daily or several-times-per-week basis depending on the protocol.

Results vary depending on the peptide, the goal, and the individual. Healing peptides like BPC-157 often show noticeable effects within 2–4 weeks. GH-releasing peptides like CJC-1295/Ipamorelin typically show meaningful changes in sleep quality within 2–3 weeks, with body composition improvements becoming evident at 8–12 weeks. Semaglutide for weight loss typically produces measurable results within 4–6 weeks. All timelines are approximate and individual responses vary.

Peptides are generally very well-tolerated compared to pharmaceutical drugs. Common, transient side effects include mild injection-site reactions, temporary water retention (with GH-releasing peptides), and vivid dreams (common with GH peptides — often considered a positive sign of deep sleep). Semaglutide can cause nausea, particularly when doses are first increased. Dr. Weber-Lopez will review the specific side effect profile for every peptide in your protocol.

Peptide therapy is provided under physician supervision for qualifying patients following a full consultation and review of lab work and medical history. Individual results vary. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved finished drug products. This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
