Personalized, medically guided peptide programs at Anazao MD
At Anazao MD, we offer peptide therapeutic programs designed to support your health goals—whether you’re focused on recovery, healthy aging, metabolic support, body composition, sleep, or overall vitality. Peptides are naturally occurring building blocks in the body that can signal specific biological processes. When used thoughtfully and under clinical guidance, peptide therapy may help support targeted wellness outcomes.
Our approach is individualized and medically monitored, with recommendations based on your history, goals, and (when appropriate) lab testing.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body. They signal cells to perform specific functions such as regulating metabolism, supporting tissue repair, improving inflammation control, or influencing hormones and brain signaling.
Peptides are different from:
- Medications: often block or force a pathway
- Hormones: broader, more systemic effects
- Supplements: indirect support rather than targeted signaling
Peptides work by communicating with receptors your body already has, helping restore or optimize normal biological processes.
Potential Benefits of Peptide Therapy
- Weight management and metabolic health
- Recovery and performance support (training, injury recovery, general resilience)
- Energy, focus, and cognitive support
- Sleep and stress resilience
- Hormone support, healthy aging & vitality
- Immune and inflammation balance
- Skin health and regenerative aesthetics support (when clinically appropriate)
Not every peptide is appropriate for every goal or every patient.
Medical Safety Comes First
Peptide therapy should always be guided by a qualified medical provider.
Our Process at Anazao MD
1) Consultation & Goal Review
We start with a medical consultation to understand your goals, symptoms, lifestyle, and history.
2) Clinical Assessment
Before starting therapy, your doctor will review:
- Your medical history
- Current medications and supplements
- Past or current cancer history
- Autoimmune or cardiovascular conditions
- Hormone, thyroid, or blood sugar concerns
When appropriate, we may recommend lab work or other evaluations to create a safer, more targeted plan.
3) Personalized Protocol
Your plan may include peptide therapy as part of a broader wellness strategy—often alongside nutrition, movement, sleep support, and other evidence-informed therapies.
4) Follow-Up & Monitoring
We track how you’re doing, adjust your protocol when needed, and prioritize safety.
Important Safety Notes
- Some peptides are FDA-approved, while others are used off-label or through compounding pharmacies
- Not all peptides are appropriate for all patients
- Quality sourcing and correct dosing are critical
- Injectable peptides require proper sterile technique
Your provider may recommend baseline and follow-up lab testing to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Peptide Therapy FAQs
Are peptides the same as hormones?
Not exactly. Some peptides can influence hormonal pathways, but peptides are a broad category with many different functions. Your clinician will explain what a specific peptide is intended to support and how it fits your plan.
How long does it take to notice results?
This depends on the peptide, your health status, and your goals. Some people notice changes within weeks, while others may need a longer timeline.
Is peptide therapy safe?
Peptide therapy should be approached carefully and medically. We focus on appropriate candidate selection, education, and monitoring.
Can peptide therapy be combined with other treatments?
Peptide therapy is often integrated with other medical wellness or regenerative therapies such as nutrition guidance, lifestyle optimization, hormone support, IV therapies, or aesthetic treatments when clinically appropriate.
How long do patients typically stay on peptide therapy?
Treatment duration varies by individual and peptide type. Some peptides are used for short-term support, while others may be part of a longer-term wellness strategy with periodic reassessment.
