Peptide Therapy Fundamentals

You'll be able to evaluate common peptide protocols used in longevity and hormone-optimization practice and discuss their evidence, mechanisms, and monitoring considerations with patients.

What this track covers

This track covers the major peptide classes used in longevity-focused practice: telomere-targeting peptides, growth hormone secretagogues, tissue-repair peptides, cognitive peptides, and immune-modulating peptides. It emphasizes mechanism, published evidence, patient selection, and monitoring rather than specific dosing recommendations.

What you will practice

  • Distinguish growth hormone secretagogues by mechanism and receptor target
  • Identify what published evidence does and does not support for a given peptide class
  • Recognize red flags in patient history that warrant caution before considering peptide therapy
  • Discuss monitoring and follow-up considerations for patients on peptide protocols
  • Differentiate marketed 'anti-aging' claims from what the literature actually demonstrates

Simulator scenario

A patient on a self-sourced peptide regimen presents for a wellness visit asking for guidance on safety and monitoring.

Board question topics

  • Mechanism of growth hormone secretagogues
  • Evidence quality for tissue-repair peptides
  • Regulatory status of compounded peptides
  • Patient screening before peptide therapy discussions
