BPC Provoke Plus Peptide Accelerates Healing and Reduces Inflammation

By |2025-03-07T17:56:13-05:00March 7th, 2025|Categories: Peptides|Tags: , , , |0 Comments

At PROVOKE Health, we encourage the use of prescription-strength therapeutic peptides for patients whose plans of care call for accelerated healing, injury avoidance, and optimization of their physical routines, including exercise and workouts.

Therapeutic peptides are also helpful for patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, including those effecting heart and lung function, joints, brain health, nerves, and even  mental health.

And when it comes to such peptides, Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157), Thymosin Beta-4, and Sermorelin have strong anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, they may be safer for some patients than conventional aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prescription anti-inflammatory medications, including corticosteroids, such as prednisone.

BPC Provoke Plus Peptide

The added benefit of the administration of medically supervised peptides is that they often stimulate the body to repair cartilage, muscle, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, collagen, and other tissues that are impacted by injury or chronic diseases.

So, if you’ve been hearing a lot about peptides and in your search to avoid conventional medication side effects — including gastrointestinal upset and liver disease — this post should prove of interest.

Today, we want to tell you about BPC Provoke Plus — a therapeutic blend of peptides that may be included in your PROVOKE Health plan of care. Here’s what you need to know.

Introducing BPC Provoke Plus

BPC Provoke Plus is our blend of three of the above-mentioned peptides, each accelerating the body’s self-healing mechanisms. Working closely with a trusted compounding pharmacy, BPC Provoke includes: Continue reading…

The Power of Peptides in Reducing Brain Inflammation

By |2024-03-19T12:47:31-04:00March 19th, 2024|Categories: Brain Health|Tags: , , , , , |0 Comments

Marilyn, an otherwise healthy 45-year-old woman, first visited our functional medicine and integrative healthcare clinic complaining of unrelenting fatigue, brain fog, loss of concentration, difficulty recalling words, and restless sleep.

She had seen other doctors, and they were unable to offer a diagnosis or any effective treatments. Her brain MRI scans came back as normal, and the neurologists with whom she consulted found no notable dementia or neurological disease that could explain her symptoms.

Her nervous system and brain were seemingly intact. All good from the perspective of conventional medicine, but Marilyn knew better; clearly, her brain was not functioning optimally. Marilyn’s symptoms were classic signs of brain inflammation. We had seen these same symptoms in hundreds of patients in the past. We knew the causes, and we had effective treatments to help her.

Peptides for brain inflammation

In this post, we look at common causes of brain inflammation and the PROVOKE Health approach to treatment, which may include the use of medically prescribed therapeutic peptides such as:

  • Semax
  • Selank
  • Thymosin Beta 4

Exploring the Causes of Brain Inflammation

In Marilyn’s case  many of the   common symptoms of brain inflammation were there: exhaustion, clouded thinking and brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety, and a steep decline in quality of life. But before I (Dr. Lewis) go deeper into the specifics of Marilyn’s case, let’s take a look at the bigger picture.

Other Health Conditions Linked to Brain Inflammation

Numerous health conditions can negatively impact brain health and function, including the following: Continue reading…
