Peptide Therapy
Personalized Support for Healing, Metabolism & Long-Term Wellness
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is an innovative approach to supporting the body’s natural healing and regulatory processes. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as communication signals in the body—helping guide processes such as tissue repair, metabolism, immune response, and cellular health.
At Hatch Chiropractic & Wellness, peptide therapy is offered as part of a personalized, integrative care plan designed to support recovery, improve overall function, and promote long-term wellness.
How Peptide Therapy Works
Peptides naturally occur in the body, but levels can decline due to age, stress, injury, or metabolic changes. When properly prescribed and monitored, therapeutic peptides may help support:
- Tissue healing and recovery
- Healthy metabolic function
- Muscle preservation and repair
- Joint and connective tissue health
- Cognitive clarity and energy balance
Our providers evaluate your health history, goals, and current needs before recommending any peptide-based support.
Potential Benefits of Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy may be beneficial for individuals looking to support:
- Recovery & Healing
Helps support muscle, joint, and soft tissue repair following injury, strain, or repetitive stress. - Metabolic & Weight Support
Certain peptides can assist with appetite regulation and metabolic efficiency when combined with lifestyle guidance. - Strength & Physical Performance
Supports lean muscle maintenance and recovery for active individuals. - Healthy Aging & Longevity
Encourages cellular repair processes that play a role in joint, skin, and connective tissue health. - Mental Focus & Well-Being
May help support cognitive performance, mood stability, and overall mental clarity.
Individual results vary, and peptide therapy is not a replacement for medical care or healthy lifestyle habits.
Peptide Options Available at Hatch Chiropractic & Wellness
Depending on your needs and clinical evaluation, peptide options may include:
- GLP-1 & GLP-2 –Based Therapies (including Semaglutide & Tirzepatide)
GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are used as part of medically guided weight management programs to support appetite control, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic health. GLP-2 is a complementary gut hormone that works alongside GLP-1 to strengthen the intestinal lining, enhance nutrient absorption, and support overall digestive wellness. - Collagen & Connective Tissue Support Peptides
May help support skin elasticity and joint function. - Immune & Digestive Support Peptides
Designed to assist gut health and immune system balance.
Custom peptide options may also be available through trusted compounding pharmacies. Availability depends on individual needs and clinical appropriateness.
GLP-2 Therapy: Gut Health & Intestinal Support
Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a naturally occurring gut hormone produced by the intestinal L-cells in response to nutrient intake. While GLP-1 is widely recognized for its role in appetite regulation and blood sugar management, GLP-2 plays a distinct and equally important role — acting directly on the gastrointestinal tract to promote healing, strengthen the gut lining, and optimize nutrient absorption.
How GLP-2 Works
GLP-2 binds to receptors throughout the small intestine, triggering a cascade of beneficial physiological effects:
- Intestinal Growth & Repair
GLP-2 promotes the proliferation of epithelial cells that line the gut wall and reduces programmed cell death (apoptosis), supporting a healthy, intact intestinal mucosa. - Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
By increasing the surface area of the intestinal lining, GLP-2 improves the body’s ability to absorb essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids from food. - Gut Barrier Strengthening
GLP-2 reinforces the intestinal barrier, reducing intestinal permeability (sometimes referred to as “leaky gut”). A stronger gut barrier helps prevent harmful bacteria and toxins from entering the bloodstream, supporting immune health and reducing systemic inflammation. - Regulation of Gastrointestinal Motility
GLP-2 helps regulate the pace of digestion, which can improve nutrient uptake and reduce symptoms such as diarrhea or digestive discomfort.
Potential Benefits of GLP-2 Therapy
GLP-2 therapy may be beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Digestive disorders or impaired nutrient absorption
- Intestinal permeability concerns (“leaky gut”)
- Inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
- Chronic gut inflammation or immune dysregulation
- Recovery from gastrointestinal surgery or illness
- Individuals seeking to complement GLP-1 therapy with improved gut integrity and nutrient optimization
GLP-2 and GLP-1 are sister hormones produced by the same intestinal cells. When used together as part of a comprehensive wellness plan, they offer a coordinated approach — GLP-1 supporting metabolic and weight management goals, while GLP-2 focuses on strengthening and nourishing the digestive system that supports overall health.
As with all peptide therapies offered at Hatch Chiropractic & Wellness, GLP-2 options are evaluated on an individual basis and recommended only when clinically appropriate for your health goals.

A consultation allows us to determine whether peptide therapy aligns with your health goals.
Legally Compoundable Peptides Available at Hatch Chiropractic & Wellness
The following peptides are legally compoundable and available through our licensed compounding pharmacy with a valid, patient-specific prescription. All peptides are prepared using pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients sourced from FDA-registered manufacturers.
- Sermorelin (Legally Compoundable)
A growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that signals the pituitary gland to naturally produce and release growth hormone. Originally FDA-approved in 1997, Sermorelin supports improved sleep quality, body composition, recovery, and healthy aging. It is one of the most well-established compoundable peptides available today. - Tesamorelin (Legally Compoundable)
An FDA-approved synthetic GHRH analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. Tesamorelin is particularly effective for reducing visceral (abdominal) fat and supporting metabolic health. Available as a compounded, patient-specific preparation through our licensed compounding pharmacy. - PT-141 (Bremelanotide) (Legally Compoundable)
An FDA-approved peptide (marketed as Vyleesi) that works on the melanocortin system in the brain to increase sexual desire and arousal in both men and women. Unlike medications that target blood flow, PT-141 works at the neurological level. Available as a compounded, patient-specific preparation through our licensed compounding pharmacy. - Semaglutide (Legally Compoundable — GLP-1 Receptor Agonist)
An FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist used for medically supervised weight management and metabolic health. Semaglutide works by regulating appetite, blood sugar, and insulin response. Available as a compounded, patient-specific preparation through our licensed compounding pharmacy. - Tirzepatide (Legally Compoundable — Dual GIP & GLP-1 Receptor Agonist)
A next-generation FDA-approved dual agonist targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors for enhanced weight loss and metabolic support. Clinical trials have shown Tirzepatide to produce greater average weight reduction than Semaglutide alone. Available as a compounded, patient-specific preparation through our licensed compounding pharmacy. - NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) (Legally Compoundable — GRAS)
A naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of the body that plays a critical role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular function. NAD+ levels decline with age; supplementation via IV or injection may support energy, cognitive clarity, and healthy aging. NAD+ holds Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status and is legally compoundable. - Glutathione (Legally Compoundable)
Often called the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide that plays a vital role in neutralizing free radicals, supporting immune function, and promoting cellular detoxification. Available as a compounded preparation (IV or injection) through our licensed compounding pharmacy to support detoxification, skin health, immune resilience, and overall vitality.
All peptide therapies at Hatch Chiropractic & Wellness are prescribed by a licensed provider, prepared through our trusted licensed compounding pharmacy using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and tailored to each patient’s individual health needs and goals.
