What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as chemical messengers between your body's cells, regulating everything from tissue repair and muscle recovery to metabolism, sleep, and more. Peptide therapy at Age Less Functional Medicine is designed to strengthen these processes by supplementing peptides lost as a result of age, chronic stress, or metabolic changes. We don't just select peptides from a menu — we build comprehensive wellness plans based on each patient's lab results, medical history, symptoms, and personal goals, creating custom-tailored treatments designed to support healthy aging and longevity. Learn more about peptide therapy and find out whether it aligns with your long-term health goals by scheduling an appointment with our traveling functional medicine providers in North Fort Worth, TX today.
Depending on the peptide selected, therapy may be considered to support:
- Weight management and metabolic health
- Muscle development and body composition
- Exercise recovery and physical performance
- Tissue repair and healing
- Energy and overall vitality
- Sleep and stress regulation
- Cognitive function and mental clarity
- Sexual wellness
- Healthy aging
How Does Peptide Therapy Work?
At Age Less Functional Medicine, peptide therapy is never based on the latest trend or a standard protocol. Every treatment plan starts with a discussion of your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals to start building your care plan. We'll also perform comprehensive health labs, reviewing them with you to determine if peptide therapy is appropriate and explain what you can expect throughout your treatment.
Peptide therapy can be administered in a variety of ways, including oral supplements, topical creams or patches, or injections. Before providing your treatment, we'll explain the proper dosage and how to use it. Keep in mind that peptide therapy is only one aspect of healthy aging — we'll also discuss lifestyle changes, nutritional adjustments, and other therapies (such as bioidentical hormone replacement) to support your protocol. At each step, our providers will be ready to answer questions, monitor your progress, and refine your care plan to ensure it continues to align with your goals.
A Personalized Approach
Peptide therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Your provider will review your medical history, current medications, laboratory results, and treatment goals before recommending a peptide.
Your individualized plan may include an injectable, oral, topical, or nasal formulation depending on the medication prescribed. Dosing, treatment length, and follow-up care are tailored to your needs and response.

Age Less Functional Medicine Reviews
I wasn’t feeling like myself for the longest time and went to several doctors to see what was wrong, but no one could tell me. I had excessive weight gain, mood swings like no other, menstrual cycles that just disappeared, and was exhausted beyond belief. When I went to see Tommora she listened to me, did some blood work, and was able to confirm I had PCOS which explained all my symptoms. She also still works with me to this day to get those symptoms under control and checks in to make sure I am okay. I am forever grateful to her for not only helping me come up with a plan to keep my condition under control, but for listening to me when no one else would.
If you want results you can see and truly feel, go see the ladies at Age Less Functional Medicine. They will give you all the tools to be the best version of yourself. Very polite and professional staff.
I can't say enough about how amazing Tommora is. I was feeling very fatigued, my hair was thinning and on most days I just didn't want to get out of bed. My previous Doctor told me all my blood work came back normal, and I heard nothing else from them. I knew there was something wrong so I reached out to Tommora and my life has completely changed, she told me that she was going to get to the root of my problems and that she did. I get up every morning full of energy and my hair is looking great. Thank you Tommora for getting to the root of problem and taking the necessary test.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peptide Therapy
Are peptides safe?
For many people, peptide therapy can be a safe option when it's prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. Before recommending treatment, we'll review your health history, laboratory findings, and wellness goals to determine whether peptide therapy is appropriate for you and discuss any questions you may have. Throughout your treatment, we'll continue to monitor your body's response and adjust your plan as needed.
Do peptides have side effects?
Like any therapy, peptides can have side effects, although they vary depending on the specific peptide being used and your individual response. Some of the most common side effects of peptide therapy include redness around the injection site, headaches, and digestive changes. Most of these are mild and temporary, and your provider at Age Less Functional Medicine will explain what to expect before treatment begins.
How long do peptides take to work?
The timeline varies depending on the peptide being prescribed, your health goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while other benefits develop more gradually over time. During your follow-up visits, we'll evaluate your progress and adjust your protocol when appropriate.
What peptide should I take?
There isn't one peptide that's right for everyone. The best choice possible depends on your laboratory findings, health history, symptoms, and the goals you're hoping to achieve. That's why each peptide protocol at Age Less Functional Medicine is personalized rather than built around a standard formula or trending treatment.
How long do peptides stay in your system?
Different peptides remain in the body for different lengths of time. Some are broken down within hours, while others continue working for longer periods, depending on their structure and dosing schedule.
Is Peptide Therapy Right for You?
