Precision Peptide Support at Aura Wellness

Peptide therapy utilizes small chains of amino acids—the body's natural signaling messengers—to stimulate specific biological processes. This powerful approach can enhance targeted areas like tissue healing, metabolism, hormone regulation, and vitality. Peptides are administered via injections, nasal sprays, or oral capsules. 

 We focus on peptides that support key areas of longevity and optimization:

• BPC-157 – Supports tissue healing, gut integrity, and reduces systemic inflammation.
• CJC-1295 – Enhances natural Growth Hormone (GH) production for muscle restoration and recovery.
• PT-141 – A targeted treatment to improve libido and sexual health for both men and women.
• Tesamorelin – Boosts GH, supporting fat loss and overall metabolic health.
• Tirzepatide – A GLP-1 receptor agonist supporting significant weight loss and stable blood sugar regulation.
• Semaglutide – A GLP-1 peptide promoting appetite control and sustained metabolic function for weight management.

 Peptides are administered based on the specific compound and your comfort level:

• Subcutaneous injections (most common and often most effective)
• Nasal Sprays
• Oral Capsules (for select peptides)

Peptide therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated when used under the direct guidance of a licensed medical professional like Kate DiFiore, NP. Potential side effects are usually mild and transient, such as nausea, temporary fatigue, or slight irritation at the injection site. 

 Yes, comprehensive lab work is required. This essential step ensures safety and allows us to personalize your protocol effectively. Labs typically include: CMP, CBC, Lipid Panel, IGF-1, Thyroid Panel, Testosterone (Total & Free), Estradiol (E2), Cortisol (AM), and Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c). 

Results are highly individualized based on the peptide and your goals:

• Tissue Support (BPC-157): Noticeable improvement in healing/inflammation often within 2–4 weeks.
• Hormone Optimization (CJC-1295/Tesamorelin): Deeper systemic effects on body composition may take 3–6 months.
• Libido (PT-141): Enhancement can sometimes be felt within hours to days.
• Metabolic Support (Tirzepatide & Semaglutide): Initial effects on hunger and weight can start within 2–4 weeks, continuing progressively over months.

Absolutely. Peptides such as Tesamorelin, Tirzepatide, and Semaglutide are powerful tools for weight management. They work by enhancing GH release, improving insulin sensitivity, and significantly regulating appetite and satiety signals for sustained metabolic success. 

 Side effects depend on the specific peptide:

• BPC-157: Mild nausea, dizziness, or flushing.
• CJC-1295: Possible water retention, headache, or tingling in extremities.
• PT-141: Facial flushing, nausea, or temporary slight blood pressure elevation.
• Tesamorelin: Increased appetite or mild swelling.
• Tirzepatide & Semaglutide: Gastrointestinal comfort issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Most reactions are mild and temporary.

In most cases, no. Peptide therapy, especially when utilizing specific compounds that are "off-label" or for general wellness/longevity, is typically considered an elective service and is not reimbursed by standard health insurance carriers. 

 To maximize your results, we strongly encourage integrating:

• A nutrient-dense diet emphasizing whole foods.
• Consistent physical activity (combining strength and cardiovascular work).
• Optimal hydration.
• 7-8 hours of restorative, consistent sleep.
• Proactive stress management techniques.

Yes, you have the autonomy to discontinue treatment whenever you choose. However, to achieve the most profound and sustained benefits your body is capable of, adherence to the full recommended course under Kate's supervision is advised. 

Your path to optimization begins here:

1. Schedule your initial consultation with Kate DiFiore, NP.
2. Complete all required pre-treatment lab work.
3. Review your results to receive your customized peptide treatment plan.
4. Begin therapy and establish your follow-up schedule for progress tracking.
