Peptides for Longevity
6 months ago
- Optimized hormones don’t always mean optimized health. Dr. Krause explains that many women—especially over 40—continue to experience stubborn symptoms even when labs show “perfect” hormone levels. Common complaints include weight loss resistance, refractory hot flashes, chronic aches and pains, and persistent gut issues. These symptoms often stem from inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, vascular health, histamine imbalance, or poor tissue repair—not just estrogen or progesterone deficiency.
- Advanced testing reveals what HRT alone can’t fix. To uncover root causes, Dr. Krause uses a comprehensive testing approach that goes beyond standard hormone panels. This includes hormone metabolism testing (saliva, blood, and DUTCH urine testing), gut health assessments like the GI Map, micronutrient analysis to identify mineral and vitamin deficiencies, and inflammation markers such as CRP, insulin, and autoimmune indicators. This “rounded out” view helps determine when additional therapeutic support is needed.
- Peptides and bioregulators act as precision tools for healing and vitality. Unlike hormones, which work systemically, peptides and bioregulators send targeted signals to specific tissues to repair, reset, and regenerate. Dr. Krause highlights foundational peptides like BPC-157 for gut, tendon, and brain repair, and KPV for powerful anti-inflammatory and gut support. She also discusses metabolic options like low-dose tirzepatide and peptide blends for patients who want to avoid GLP-1s. Bioregulators such as Pinealon and Vesugen help reset circadian rhythms, improve sleep, support vascular health, and reduce hot flashes—filling the gaps HRT can’t reach.
