We’re sure this will surprise some of you… 👀
There may be an assumption we should clear up:
We are not anti-peptide.
Because Jeff has practiced naturopathically for more than 25 years and Kari is a Functional Medicine Health Coach, we talk a lot about nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, hormones, nervous-system health, and getting to the root of WHY someone doesn’t feel well.
Because of that, people sometimes assume we must be against things like peptides, GLP-1 medications, hormone replacement, or other newer therapeutic tools.
We’re not.
What we are passionate about is using the right tool, for the right person, for the right reason, and using it responsibly.
There’s a big difference between:
➡️ blindly chasing the newest wellness trend
➡️ buying something from an unregulated “research” source online
➡️ expecting a peptide or medication to compensate for poor foundations
…and thoughtfully using a therapy through an appropriate medical/provider pathway while continuing to work on nutrition, muscle, sleep, metabolic health, hormones, stress, and the rest of the person.
Sometimes natural therapies are the right tool. We watch them work WONDERS day in and day out.
Sometimes medication is the right tool.
Sometimes hormone replacement is the right tool.
And yes, sometimes we believe peptides can be a useful tool too.
But underneath all of that is something even more foundational to us:
We believe Jesus is the ultimate source of healing.
We don’t believe a supplement, medication, peptide, practitioner or even the body itself is our Savior.
These are tools.
We believe God created the body with an incredible capacity to heal and restore, and He has also given us wisdom, medicine, science, and people who can help us care for it well.
That core belief doesn’t make us afraid of modern medicine.
It actually gives us the freedom to look at each tool with wisdom and discernment rather than feeling like we have to belong to an “all natural” camp or an “all medical” camp.
Natural health was never supposed to mean rejecting every advancement in medicine.
For us, it means looking at the whole person, asking better questions, weighing benefit and risk, supporting the foundations of health, praying for wisdom, and being willing to use different tools when they make sense.
We aren’t interested in being “anti” everything.
We’re interested in helping people become healthier body, mind, and spirit and doing that responsibly.
And unfortunately, in the world of peptides, we’re seeing a lot that isn’t being done responsibly. That matters to us.
So please don’t ever worry that you’ll be judged when you walk through our doors because you’re using a GLP-1, hormone therapy, peptides, medication, or another medical tool.
We want to know what you’re using. We want to understand why. And we want to help support your health as a whole.
Because optimal health may look different from one person to the next and that’s exactly why these conversations deserve nuance. 💜
And if you’re curious about peptides but concerned about doing it responsibly, talk to us.
