Benefits of Recovery
Supports the Body’s Natural Healing Processes
Recovery therapies are designed to complement the body’s existing repair mechanisms. Emerging research suggests certain peptides may help support tissue recovery, musculoskeletal healing, and inflammation management, potentially allowing patients to recover more efficiently from physical stressors and everyday wear and tear.
Promotes Healthy Aging and Cellular Wellness
As we age, the body’s ability to repair and regenerate naturally changes over time. Advanced recovery therapies, including peptide therapy and NAD+ support, are being studied for their potential role in promoting cellular function, supporting healthy aging, and helping patients maintain vitality as they grow older.

Awards And Certifications
Are peptide therapies FDA-approved?
Many peptides used in wellness and recovery medicine are considered emerging therapies and are not FDA-approved for anti-aging, recovery, or many of the wellness applications being studied today. However, ongoing research continues to investigate their potential benefits. During your consultation, Dr. Bryan McIntosh will discuss the current evidence, limitations, potential risks, and whether these therapies may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
How do peptides work?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules within the body. Researchers are studying how certain peptides may influence processes related to healing, inflammation, tissue repair, hormone regulation, and cellular communication. Different peptides serve different functions, which is why treatment recommendations are highly individualized based on a patient’s goals and health profile.
What is NAD+ and why is it important?
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme that plays an essential role in cellular energy production and DNA repair. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, leading researchers to investigate whether supporting NAD+ levels may promote cellular health and healthy aging. While research is ongoing, NAD+ remains an area of growing interest within wellness and regenerative medicine.
Who is a candidate for Recovery therapies?
Candidates vary depending on their goals, health status, and medical history. Individuals interested in supporting recovery, optimizing wellness, maintaining an active lifestyle, or exploring healthy aging strategies may benefit from a consultation.
