Peptide therapy basics for clearer clinical reasoning on repair, sleep, and immune balance
For mixed-level clinicians building safer peptide implementation
This course introduces peptide therapy through a cellular-medicine lens, focusing on how peptides function as signaling molecules and how that translates into mechanism-based clinical reasoning. You’ll review practical implementation variables the instructor emphasizes—timing, route, dosing ranges, cycling, and common tolerability considerations—alongside a clear distinction between growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) and growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRP) classes and common naming/half-life confusion in GH-axis peptides. The course also connects peptide discussions to core physiology, including sleep and circadian biology, tissue repair concepts (such as fibroblast activity and extracellular matrix remodeling), and immune modulation framing. The aim is to help clinicians build a structured way to select and monitor peptide approaches, including simple follow-up touchpoints when discussed (for example, insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF‑1] monitoring in the tesamorelin lesson). In practice, this supports individualized evaluation and longitudinal reassessment in complex cases where timing, context, and tolerability can meaningfully influence patient response. It is designed for prescribers who are new to peptides as well as experienced clinicians seeking a clearer framework for application across regenerative, metabolic, sleep/circadian, and immune-related presentations.
What's Included
The course is organized as recorded lessons that move from foundational concepts into peptide-by-peptide teaching, using a consistent cellular-medicine framing. Throughout, the instructor ties mechanism-based reasoning to practical decision points that influence real-world implementation and reassessment.
