Why Medrein for peptide therapy
Every peptide protocol at Medrein is prescribed and overseen by Dr. Mikki, our medical director, who spent 15 years in emergency medicine before founding the practice. Nothing is dispensed without a consultation with her.
Which peptides are FDA-approved?
A few peptide medicines are FDA-approved for specific conditions. Most peptides used for wellness are compounded to a prescription by a reputable compounding pharmacy and are not FDA-approved. Dr. Mikki tells you which is which before she prescribes.
Every peptide protocol falls into one of ten categories
You do not need to know a peptide by name to start. Pick the goal that sounds like yours, from Repair & Healing to Energy Peptides, and the consultation narrows it to a specific protocol from there.
GHRH Peptides
Peptides that signal the pituitary to release more of the body’s own growth hormone, supporting lean muscle maintenance and recovery.
Repair & Healing Peptides
Tissue-repair peptides for joints, ligaments, tendons and soft tissue. Includes the Wolverine Stack.
Energy Peptides
Mitochondrial and metabolic peptides, which support cellular energy production and metabolic flexibility.
Immune Support Peptides
Peptides that support immune function. Not a treatment for an active infection.
Memory & Cognitive Peptides
Peptides that support memory, focus and mental clarity. Not stimulants.
Longevity Peptides
Peptides directed at the cellular processes involved in aging, prescribed as a long-horizon protocol rather than a short course.
Sexual Wellness Peptides
Prescription peptides for libido and sexual function, with the dose reviewed at follow-up.
Fertility Support Peptides
Peptides that support the hormonal signaling involved in reproductive function. Candidacy is evaluated before anything is prescribed.
Aesthetic Peptides
Peptides for skin concerns such as pigment and tone. Which ones apply is a consultation decision.
Sleep Peptides
Sleep-regulating peptides, used to support sleep quality.
What peptide therapy supports
Peptides are used here for six broad jobs. Which one is yours decides the category you start in, whether that is tissue repair or sleep quality.
How peptide therapy works
Peptides act like messengers. They communicate with receptors throughout your body to trigger a specific response, which is why a protocol is built around a goal rather than around a molecule.
Consultation and goals
Dr. Mikki reviews your health history and what you are trying to improve, and confirms you are a candidate before anything is prescribed.
Your combination is chosen
Each peptide is selected based on evidence, safety, and your specific health profile, which is what makes one protocol different from another.
How it is given
Depending on your plan, peptides are given as precise injections or through other clinically supported delivery methods.
Follow-up and adjustment
Your starting dose is set at the consultation and adjusted at follow-up according to how you respond.
Peptides Dr. Mikki may include in your protocol
These are the peptides patients ask for by name. Which of them appears in your plan is a consultation decision, and each one is selected on evidence, safety, and your specific health profile.
Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 and TB-500)
A peptide combination formulated to accelerate healing of joints, ligaments, tendons and soft tissue. Commonly used by active individuals and by those recovering from injury.
GHK-Cu copper peptide
Known for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports skin rejuvenation, collagen production, wound healing and hair follicle health.
CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin
A combination that works to increase natural growth hormone secretion without significantly impacting cortisol or prolactin levels. It supports recovery, sleep quality and muscle repair.
Tesamorelin
Stimulates the body’s natural growth hormone release, which can help reduce visceral fat and support lean muscle maintenance. Commonly used in metabolic and body composition protocols.
MOTS-C
A mitochondrial-derived peptide that supports cellular energy production and metabolic flexibility, and plays a role in how the body adapts to stress and energy demands.
Your dose is adjusted to how you actually respond
Peptides are prescription medications, prepared by a compounding pharmacy and dispensed on prescription rather than bought online. The starting dose is set at the consultation and adjusted at follow-up according to how you respond. Timelines depend on the peptide category and on individual physiology, so they are discussed at the consultation rather than quoted in advance. Where a patient is also on a Medical Weight Loss or hormone therapy plan, Dr. Mikki writes and monitors each one.
Who peptide therapy is for
Dr. Mikki confirms candidacy against your health history before anything is prescribed, and will tell you when something else fits better: a hormone plan where the reading is a hormone deficiency, or medical weight loss where the goal is weight.
A good fit
- You want to support recovery after workouts or after an injury.
- You want to improve metabolic function and energy.
- You want to support mood, focus, or sleep.
- You want to balance hormones naturally.
- You want to support overall wellness and vitality.
Not the right treatment
- You want something you can order online without a prescription. These are prescription medications, dispensed after a consultation.
- You want a guaranteed timeline. How soon anything shifts depends on the peptide category and on your own physiology.
- You need treatment for an active infection. Immune-support peptides are not that, and an infection needs treating first.
- You would rather not come back for review. The dose is set at the consultation and then adjusted at follow-up, so the plan assumes a follow-up.
Three things worth knowing before you start
Peptides are prescription medications prepared by a compounding pharmacy, not a supplement you can order. How soon anything changes depends on the peptide category and on your own physiology, so timelines are set at your consultation rather than quoted here. Results may vary.
Why patients stay on the plan
These reflect common patient sentiment rather than verbatim quotes, and individual results vary.
I didn’t want a vial in the mail and a website wishing me luck. What sold me was sitting down with Dr. Mikki, who explained what each peptide was for, started me low, and changed the dose once she saw how I responded. Results may vary, but nothing about mine was guesswork.
Someone actually watching how I responded, not a website shipping me a stack.
Peptide therapy FAQs
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is taking prescription peptides, short chains of amino acids that signal your cells to do specific work like repairing tissue or regulating metabolism, at a dose that is set for you and then adjusted. Dr. Mikki confirms you are a candidate and prescribes the combination for you, rather than it being an over-the-counter product you dose yourself.
Is Peptide Therapy safe?
Yes, peptide therapy is safe when it is physician-supervised, since peptides are prescription medications and safety depends on that oversight rather than on the product alone. Dr. Mikki reviews your health history and confirms you are a candidate before prescribing, the peptides come from reputable compounding pharmacies, and your dose is adjusted at follow-up based on how you respond.
How are the peptide categories organized?
They are grouped by concern rather than by molecule, into ten categories: GHRH, Repair & Healing, Energy, Immune Support, Memory & Cognitive, Longevity, Sexual Wellness, Fertility Support, Aesthetic, and Sleep. Each category page lists the peptides used in it.
Where do the peptides come from?
They come from reputable compounding pharmacies, which fill the prescription Dr. Mikki writes after your consultation.
How soon will I notice results?
How soon depends on the peptide category and on your own physiology, so Dr. Mikki sets expectations at your consultation instead of quoting a number here. Your dose is adjusted at follow-up based on how you respond. Results may vary.
How do I get started?
Book a consultation online or call (214) 702-5225. Dr. Mikki reviews your health history, confirms you are a candidate, and picks the category that fits before anything is prescribed.
What can I expect during treatment?
Treatment is given as a precise injection or through another clinically supported delivery method, depending on which peptide your protocol uses. Dr. Mikki sets the schedule with you at your consultation, and the overall protocol is personalized rather than a standard package, since the delivery method and timing are matched to the peptide and your goal.
