Peptide Therapy on Salt Spring Island
Targeted signaling molecules for healing and performance.
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids (naturally occurring signaling molecules) to target specific biological pathways involved in healing, immune function, tissue repair, and neurological health.
Peptides are not drugs in the traditional sense. They are sequences of amino acids that your body already recognizes, acting as precise messengers that instruct cells to perform specific functions: accelerate tissue repair, modulate inflammation, enhance immune surveillance, or support gut barrier integrity. Because they work with your body's existing biology rather than overriding it, peptides tend to be well-tolerated with minimal side effects.
I prescribe peptides based on your clinical picture and goals. BPC-157 is one of the most widely studied healing peptides, with research in the Journal of Physiology demonstrating its ability to accelerate gut mucosal healing, tendon repair, and nerve regeneration. TB-500 (thymosin beta-4) promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation, making it particularly useful for musculoskeletal injuries and post-surgical recovery. Thymosin alpha-1 supports immune function and has been studied in the context of chronic infections and immune deficiency. KPV, a melanocyte-stimulating hormone fragment, has potent anti-inflammatory properties particularly relevant to gut inflammation and autoimmune conditions. GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide that stimulates collagen synthesis, wound healing, and tissue remodeling. GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic) support metabolic health by regulating appetite, blood sugar, and insulin sensitivity, offering a medically supervised approach to weight management and metabolic dysfunction.
Peptide therapy is most effective when integrated into a broader treatment plan. I combine peptides with targeted supplementation, IV therapy, and nutritional strategies to create a comprehensive healing protocol. Every prescription is based on lab work and clinical assessment, ensuring the right peptide at the right dose for your specific situation.
Why Peptide Therapy
Targeted Healing
Peptides act on specific biological pathways (gut repair, tissue regeneration, immune modulation) with precision that broad-spectrum treatments can't match.
Well Tolerated
As naturally occurring signaling molecules, peptides work with your body's existing biology, resulting in minimal side effects.
Versatile Applications
From chronic gut issues and autoimmune conditions to injury recovery and cognitive support, peptides address a wide range of clinical needs.

IV & Injection Therapy
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption and immediate therapeutic effect.
Targeted Supplementation
Not all supplements are created equal, and more isn't always better. I prescribe professional-grade supplements based on your lab work, health history, and specific deficiencies. The goal is precision: the right nutrients, in the right forms, at the right doses.
Laboratory Testing
Functional and conventional laboratory testing provides a deeper understanding of your health, from hormones and gut health to infections, heavy metals, mold exposure, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic function. Testing gives me the objective data I need to build targeted treatment plans.
