Peptide Education Guide · Travis Woodley, MSN, RN, CRNP

What peptides actually do — and how we use them clinically.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body — telling cells what to do, when to do it, and how much. Used correctly, they're a powerful adjunct to clinical care. Used carelessly, they're an expensive way to push physiology in directions you didn't actually want.

This is our working clinical reference for 32 peptides organized by what they actually do — metabolic, growth hormone axis, recovery, skin, immune, brain and mood, sexual wellness, and longevity. For each one: what it is, why we use it, who it's for, how long a course typically runs, whether we cycle it, and what foundational work has to be in place for it to work.

How We Approach Peptide Therapy

The clinical principles behind every protocol on this page.

Foundations first.

Every peptide on this page works better when sleep, protein, training, and stress regulation are in place. None of them work as well when those are missing. We do not put a patient on a peptide protocol to bypass the foundational work — we use peptides to amplify what the foundations are already doing.

Lab-guided when relevant.

GH-axis peptides require IGF-1 and metabolic monitoring. Thyroid signaling tools require a full thyroid workup. Anything that touches the metabolic or hormonal axes is sequenced around labs — drawn before, drawn after, interpreted in context.

Cycled, not continuous.

Most of these peptides are used in defined courses (commonly 4–12 weeks) followed by reassessment. Continuous indefinite use is uncommon in our practice. Cycling preserves response, gives us cleaner data on what's actually working, and respects the body's signaling rhythms.

Patient stratification.

Several peptides on this list are labeled as 'highly selected patients only' or 'not a starter wellness therapy' — that's deliberate. Some tools belong only in advanced protocols with close clinical oversight. We say so up front rather than bury it.

Honest about evidence.

The evidence base for peptide therapy is uneven. Some peptides (tesamorelin, PT-141 / Vyleesi) have FDA-approved indications. Others have strong mechanistic support but limited human outcome data. We tell you which is which — expectations are conservative where the data is thin.

No prescriptions on this page.

This guide is education. Prescriptions and protocols are decided one-on-one in consultation, after we've reviewed your history, labs, current medications, and goals. If a peptide on this page sounds relevant, the next step is a conversation, not a checkout button.

Metabolic & Body Composition Support

Peptides used in structured metabolic programs — fat metabolism signaling, mitochondrial support, and the GH-axis tools we use when nutrition and training alone aren't moving the needle. Always layered on top of foundational work, never a substitute for it.

AOD 9604

What it is
A fragment of the growth hormone molecule designed to emphasize fat-metabolism signaling.
Why we use it
To support fat loss/body composition — especially when patients are already doing the nutrition and training but progress is slow.
Who it's for
Patients focused on body recomposition and stubborn fat patterns.
Typical duration
Commonly 8–12 weeks, then reassess progress and decide on maintenance vs. another course.
Do we cycle it
Often cycled (e.g., 8–12 weeks on, then a break) depending on goals and response.
Best outcomes when combined with
Protein-forward nutrition, resistance training, steps, stress/sleep optimization.

MOTS-C

What it is
A mitochondrial-derived signaling peptide involved in how cells respond to metabolic stress and handle glucose/energy.
Why we use it
To support metabolic flexibility — energy, glucose handling, body composition momentum — in a comprehensive metabolic plan.
Who it's for
Patients with low energy + metabolic slowdown, insulin resistance patterns, or weight-loss resistance.
Typical duration
Often used in 4–8 week blocks (sometimes repeated) with reassessment of symptoms and metabolic markers.
Do we cycle it
Usually cycled in blocks rather than taken continuously.
Best outcomes when combined with
Strength training plus aerobic base work (zone 2), consistent sleep, structured nutrition and protein intake.

NAD+ (both strengths)

What it is
A foundational molecule your body uses for cellular energy production and repair processes.
Why we use it
To support energy, fatigue recovery, and resilience during high stress or burnout seasons.
Who it's for

Typical duration
Often a front-loaded series (e.g., weekly for several weeks), then maintenance as needed.
Do we cycle it
Typically not cycled like a supplement; we individualize frequency based on response.
Best outcomes when combined with
Sleep improvement, hydration and electrolytes, exercise pacing, and addressing nutrient/thyroid drivers.

Adipotide

What it is
A targeted peptide studied for signaling pathways involved in reducing fat tissue by affecting how fat tissue is supported and maintained.

Highly selected patients pursuing body-composition change under close clinician guidance.
Typical duration
Often approached as a short, time-limited trial (commonly 4–8 weeks) with reassessment.
Do we cycle it
Yes — typically used in defined blocks rather than continuously.

Peptides used for libido, arousal, and sexual response — always after we've evaluated hormones, stress load, relationship factors, and underlying health conditions. These tools complement that work; they don't replace it.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide; Vyleesi is FDA-approved for HSDD in premenopausal women)

What it is
A melanocortin receptor agonist that supports sexual desire and arousal signaling in the brain (central arousal pathway).

Important

This guide is education, not a prescription.

Peptides are bioactive compounds. Some are FDA-approved for specific indications, some are used off-label in wellness practice with varying degrees of evidence, and some are appropriate only for highly selected patients under close clinician oversight. None of them are appropriate without a clinical evaluation.

Revitalize does not currently prescribe or dispense peptide therapy — many of the peptides on this page are pending FDA review or are restricted under current FDA compounding guidance. This page exists to give patients clinical-grade context on the peptide landscape so they can make informed decisions and have informed conversations with their treating clinician.

If something on this page maps to a problem you are trying to solve, a consultation with Travis is often the right next step — most often the answer involves the foundational hormone, metabolic, and recovery work we do directly provide, not peptide therapy itself.

Next Step

Have questions about your situation?

Travis is happy to discuss the foundational work — sleep architecture, training, nutrition, and lab interpretation — that determines whether any of these tools would even be appropriate for your situation. For prescribing-related decisions on peptide therapy specifically, please see the regulatory notice at the top of this page and discuss with your treating clinician.
