What Is Peptide Therapy?
If you've felt recovery take longer, sleep get lighter, or energy dip in ways that diet and exercise alone don't fix, you're not imagining it — and it's not something to just live with. Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as messengers throughout the body — helping regulate important biological functions like recovery, metabolism, sleep, tissue repair, hormone signaling, and healthy aging.
At JumpstartMD, peptide therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Every treatment plan is personalized based on your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and wellness goals, helping your clinician determine which therapies best fit your individual needs.
What Can Peptide Therapy Support?
These wellness categories reflect the range of goals evaluated within the JumpstartMD Peptide Therapy Collection — treatment begins with your health objectives, not a specific product.
- Recovery & Healthy Aging
- Body Composition & Metabolism
- Sleep & Stress Resilience
- Energy & Performance
- Injury Recovery & Regeneration
- Brain Health & Focus
- Skin & Hair Rejuvenation
- Immune Health
- Sexual Wellness
Peptide Therapy May Be Right for You If…
- Recovery takes longer than it used to
- You're sleeping but never feel rested
- Energy isn't what it used to be
- You're struggling to maintain lean muscle
- You want to support healthy aging
- Exercise doesn't produce the same results
Peptide therapy is available as its own membership — you do not need to be a weight-loss or hormone therapy member to be evaluated for it.
It Isn't Right for Everyone
Peptide therapy is not appropriate during pregnancy, planned pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active cancer diagnosis, after a previous allergic reaction to the medication, or with certain pituitary conditions.
It calls for individual assessment if you have cancer in remission, diabetes, prediabetes or insulin resistance, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or significant liver or kidney disease.
Competitive athletes: growth hormone secretagogues — the class both featured therapies belong to — are prohibited under World Anti-Doping Agency rules and are a disqualifier regardless of prescription. Check with your governing body before starting.
How Treatment Is Monitored
What's measured, and when. Care begins with a full baseline — blood count and metabolic panel including HbA1c, lipids, thyroid and hormone levels, blood pressure and body composition. Progress is reviewed at around three months, with the full panel repeated annually. Where clinic access allows, body composition and blood pressure are tracked more frequently.
What would change or stop treatment. Dosing is typically stable. Treatment is reconsidered on an adverse reaction, a lack of response, or signs that glucose regulation is worsening — growth hormone affects insulin sensitivity, which is why it is monitored rather than assumed.

The JumpstartMD Peptide Collection
The JumpstartMD Peptide Collection is a curated portfolio of clinician-guided peptide therapies designed to support a wide range of health and wellness goals.

Featured Peptide Therapies
While the JumpstartMD Peptide Collection spans multiple wellness categories, your clinician recommends treatment based on your individual needs — not a product you choose yourself. Below are the therapies currently featured in our program. Select one to read more.
Sermorelin Foundational Growth Hormone Support
Overview
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue. It acts on your body's own growth hormone signaling rather than replacing the hormone directly, which is the main way it differs from growth hormone replacement. It is supplied as a compounded preparation and is not FDA-approved. Clinicians consider it where the goals are recovery, body composition, sleep or healthy aging — as areas of intended support rather than established outcomes.
Potential Areas of Support
- Recovery support
- Sleep quality
- Healthy aging support
- Lean body composition
- Exercise recovery
- Overall vitality
What Makes Sermorelin Different?
Growth hormone replacement introduces a hormone your body no longer needs to produce on its own. Sermorelin takes a different approach — supporting the signal your pituitary gland already sends, rather than overriding it. Your clinician will determine whether that distinction matters for your health goals and how it fits into your personalized treatment plan.
Wondering if Sermorelin is right for you? Schedule a consultation with a JumpstartMD clinician to learn whether Sermorelin — or another therapy from the JumpstartMD Peptide Collection — may be appropriate for your goals.
Schedule ConsultationTesamorelin Targeted Metabolic & Visceral Fat Support
Overview
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue — the same class as Sermorelin. Like Sermorelin, it works with your body's own growth hormone signaling rather than replacing the hormone directly. Clinicians consider it where the goals relate to visceral (abdominal) fat and body composition, as areas of intended support rather than established outcomes. Whether it is appropriate for you is a clinical judgment made after an individual evaluation.
Potential Areas of Support
- Visceral fat support
- Body composition support
- Metabolic wellness
- Healthy aging support
How Is Tesamorelin Chosen Over Sermorelin?
Sermorelin and Tesamorelin belong to the same class and work through the same pathway — supporting the signal your pituitary gland already sends. They are distinct molecules aimed at different things: Sermorelin is the foundational option across recovery, sleep and healthy aging, while Tesamorelin is typically considered where visceral (abdominal) fat is the focus. Which one fits — if either does — is a clinical decision based on your goals, your health history and how you respond to treatment, rather than a ranking of one against the other.
Wondering if Tesamorelin is right for you? Schedule a consultation with a JumpstartMD clinician to learn whether Tesamorelin — or another therapy from the JumpstartMD Peptide Collection — may be appropriate for your goals.

Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as messengers throughout the body, helping regulate functions like recovery, metabolism, sleep, tissue repair, and healthy aging.
How does peptide therapy work?
Peptide therapies are designed to support your body's own natural signaling pathways rather than replace a hormone or function outright. Your clinician selects therapies based on your individual health goals.
Who is a candidate for peptide therapy?
Candidacy depends on your health history, symptoms, and goals. Your JumpstartMD clinician will evaluate whether peptide therapy — and which therapies — may be appropriate for you.
Is peptide therapy the same as weight-loss medication?
No. Peptide therapy is a distinct category of clinician-guided treatment that supports a broader range of goals, from recovery and sleep to healthy aging. It isn't a replacement for GLP-1 weight-loss medications, though it may complement a broader care plan.
