Tired of Feeling Tired All the Time? Get Re-Energized with Peptide Therapy

Do you feel incredibly exhausted daily no matter how much sleep you get? If so, you may be living with chronic fatigue syndrome (medically known as myalgic encephalomyelitis). 

When you have chronic fatigue syndrome, it means that you feel fatigued during the day, even with plenty of sleep and rest, for over six months. Chronic fatigue syndrome can make it difficult to complete daily tasks or even get out of bed. You may also notice that the tiredness gets worse with any physical activity or mental exertion. 

Many people live with chronic fatigue syndrome, but in a lot of cases, those who have the condition don’t realize it because there isn’t nearly enough awareness surrounding this health issue. Chronic fatigue syndrome may cause other symptoms such as muscle and joint pain, irritability, bloating, night sweats, dizziness, and vision problems.

Several things can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome but two major contributors are poor immune function and stress. Making lifestyle changes is often an effective tool for addressing chronic fatigue syndrome, but our team led by Dana Trippi, DO, at Atlas Health Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, offers an additional solution in the form of peptide therapy. 

In this blog, we discuss how peptide therapy works and how it can help address your chronic fatigue syndrome.

What are peptides?

Peptides are small chains of molecules known as amino acids. Proteins are also made of amino acid chains; however, peptides are much smaller. The exact order of the amino acid chain determines how your body uses the peptide, and because the chains are so small, your body can easily and effectively absorb, break down, and use them. 

Your body uses peptides for all sorts of things, including blood pressure regulation, water retention in cells, and wound healing. Peptides can also be used for immune system function and hormone production. 

Plenty of peptides are found in and created by your body naturally, but you can get additional peptides by eating peptide-rich foods such as eggs, milk, meat, and beans. Some dietary supplements contain synthetic peptides, which contain a very similar make-up to the natural ones. You can also boost peptide intake through peptide therapy.  

How does peptide therapy work?

Peptide therapy is a great way to boost your intake of peptides. Since your body makes peptides already, it can use supplemental ones easily, making it an incredibly effective treatment to address a wide range of health issues.

At Atlas Health Institute, we offer a variety of options for peptide therapy, including topical creams, nasal sprays, oral tablets, and injections. 

Peptide therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome

Peptide therapy can be a great option for addressing chronic fatigue syndrome. However, when you do begin treating your chronic fatigue syndrome, it’s important to also prioritize healthy lifestyle choices. 

Incorporating healthy choices includes practicing good sleep hygiene, sticking to a strict sleep schedule, eating healthy and nutritious foods, and moving your body regularly. All of these things boost your overall health, which will not only help reduce the severity of your chronic fatigue but also make peptide therapy more effective. 

When you undergo peptide therapy, some of the peptides used can boost the function of your immune system by helping better protect you against infections and improving the release of hormones that reduce anxiety and boost cognitive function. Better mental health and a stronger immune system can both give your body more of the energy it needs to function daily.
