Peptides
Peptides are naturally occurring proteins that signal your body to repair, regenerate, and respond to stress. Over time, our natural peptide levels decline, which can affect energy, sleep, metabolism, inflammation, and the body’s ability to bounce back.
At Ascension, we use medical-grade peptide therapies as part of our six-month program for clients seeking to optimize performance, improve recovery, and support healthy aging. Each protocol is customized to your DNA, lab markers, and personal goals. Whether you're looking to restore hormonal rhythm, improve body composition, or support cognitive clarity, peptides can offer subtle but powerful results when used with precision.
Signals tissue healing and regeneration
May reduce inflammation and enhance muscle repair
Helps regulate hormones linked to vitality
May support lean body composition
Selected based on your lab work, symptoms, and goals
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers inside the body. Some regulate sleep and stress while others help build muscle or repair damaged tissue. Because they mimic natural signaling, peptides often come with fewer side effects than traditional medications.
We don’t use one-size-fits-all blends. Your protocol may include peptides that stimulate growth hormone release, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce joint inflammation, or support cognition, depending on your biology and what you're hoping to improve.
Most peptides are administered by subcutaneous injection at home, though some are available in nasal spray or capsule form. We’ll teach you exactly how and when to use them, and monitor your response through check-ins and lab tracking.
Depending on your treatment plan, peptides may be used daily, a few times a week, or in cycles. You’ll have clear instructions, a simple protocol, and ongoing support to make implementation seamless.
Many clients turn to peptides when they feel stuck. Sluggish metabolism, poor recovery, brain fog, low libido, or disrupted sleep are common signs that internal signals may need support.
Specific peptides may support:
After starting peptide therapy, clients often notice benefits such as improved energy, better sleep, and easier recovery from workouts. Over time, peptides can support lean muscle development, hormone regulation, and cognitive sharpness.
These changes aren’t sudden. They unfold gradually, often in tandem with other lifestyle improvements. When used intentionally and under careful guidance, peptides can help reinforce your body's natural ability to repair itself and thrive.
Peptides can be helpful for adults seeking a functional, targeted approach to enhanced healing or performance. We assess safety and fit through lab testing, symptom mapping, and a full health history.
We don’t offer peptides as standalone treatments. Instead, they’re integrated into your larger Ascension Program alongside nutrition, mindset, movement, and recovery. This context matters. Peptides work best when supported by a full lifestyle framework, not in isolation.
Throughout your program, we’ll track your progress with labs, check-ins, and feedback on how you feel. Adjustments are made as needed. The goal is long-term improvement, not just short-term enhancement.
Peptide treatments may not be suitable for individuals with certain types of cancer or uncontrolled autoimmune conditions. As always, recommendations at Ascension are guided by what your body tells us through testing and conversation.
Most people tolerate peptide therapy very well, with no downtime required. Injections are small and typically easy to administer with expert guidance. You may experience mild redness or soreness at the injection site, which usually resolves quickly.
We prioritize comfort and simplicity. If you have questions or concerns about your response to any therapy, our team is always available to support you.
Results of peptide treatments vary depending on the peptide used and your body’s baseline. Some people notice subtle shifts in sleep or energy within a few weeks. For deeper metabolic, structural, or hormonal support, results tend to build gradually over several months.
Because your peptide protocol is guided by labs and tracked consistently, we’ll know when something is working, and when it’s time to make a change. Every result is part of a longer story of healing, performing, and living better.
Peptide therapy is highly specific. At Ascension, we go beyond brand names or protocols pulled from trends. Every plan is built around your biomarkers, your goals, and your body’s needs.
Dr. Jennifer Ward combines 20+ years of medical experience with longevity science to create precision-based treatment strategies. If peptides are recommended, it’s because they serve a purpose in your broader path to healing and strength.
Yes, when used under medical supervision. Peptides are often well-tolerated because they mimic natural biological processes. We choose only vetted, pharmacy-grade options.
This varies. Some people feel changes in energy or sleep within a few weeks. More structural changes (like body composition or recovery) can take longer.
Most peptides are administered through a small injection, similar to a vitamin B12 shot. We show you how to do this safely and comfortably.
Certain peptides may help regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, or support metabolism. These effects work best when paired with a comprehensive nutrition and movement plan.
Not necessarily. Many protocols are designed in cycles. We’ll evaluate progress as you go and adjust accordingly.
No. Like most proactive wellness therapies, peptides are not covered. We offer them as part of your personalized longevity plan.
