Peptide Handbook: A Professional’s Guide to Peptide Therapeutics (2023) is a comprehensive clinical reference designed to help practitioners understand, select, and apply peptide therapeutics with confidence. Written by leaders in integrative and functional medicine, the handbook outlines the science, clinical rationale, and therapeutic potential of more than two dozen peptide compounds—covering metabolic health, inflammation, cognitive function, injury repair, aging, immune modulation, and performance medicine.
The book explains peptide biology in plain language, walking the reader through cell signaling, genetic expression, neuroendocrine-immune interactions, and mechanisms that make peptides highly selective, potent, and well-tolerated tools for modern care. It highlights both FDA-approved peptide medications and advanced clinical applications using compounded preparations, emphasizing safety, purity, and clinical protocol design.
Across its monographs and therapeutic protocols, the handbook details indications, mechanisms of action, dosing strategies, expected outcomes, and synergistic combinations. It also provides targeted protocols for conditions such as cognitive decline, metabolic dysfunction, immune dysregulation, sleep issues, gut disorders, athletic performance, and tissue repair.
This guide functions as both a scientific primer and a practical playbook—bridging research advancements with real-world clinical implementation for professionals integrating peptides into personalized medicine.
