“Aging is out of your control. How you handle it, though, is in your hands.”
—Diane Von Furstenberg, prominent fashion designer
“There is no ‘Fountain of Youth’ that will keep women young,” says Naples, Florida, internal medicine specialist Dr. Diane Brzezinski, D.O. “However, Diane Von Furstenberg is correct in saying that how we age is in our own hands. Healthy living goes a long way in mitigating the age-related impacts on our hormones, skin, muscles, metabolism, and overall vitality. Additionally, modern medicine has uncovered new therapies that can further help dull the natural ravages of aging.”
Dr. B, Dr. Michael Hellman, D.O., and Kelly Fennemore, MSN, ARNP, are particularly excited about the age-defying promise shown by the emerging medical use of peptide therapy in treating and managing aging-related symptoms at the cellular level. Naturally produced by most living organisms, peptides are short-chain amino acid molecules that play multiple roles in cellular function, including hormone signalling, immune response, gene expression, and ion transport, to name a few. Because our bodies can absorb and use peptides produced by other organisms, we can use specific peptides therapeutically to target distinct health concerns. To date, the FDA has approved over 400 distinct peptides and peptide-based drugs for therapeutic use, and hundreds more are in the clinical testing pipeline.
In Naples, Dr. B’s internal medicine practice offers peptides for women on a holistic basis to help treat numerous health issues, including menopause, inflammation, insomnia, autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal distress, chronic pain, weight loss, skin concerns, and more. Unlike the blanket effect of hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy can target issues with greater precision and fewer side effects. Let’s take a closer look at how Dr. B’s practice utilizes peptides for women in Naples to help mitigate health issues associated with aging and other factors.
Top Benefits of Peptides for Women
Metabolic Support and Fat Loss
Aging and other health issues can significantly impact a woman’s metabolism by decreasing natural growth hormone production. Thus, Dr. B offers Naples-area patients sermorelin, a popular peptide combination that works synergistically to stimulate the body’s release of growth hormones and restore metabolism. The increased growth hormone production naturally boosts metabolism, encouraging more efficient calorie burning, while also promoting muscle protein synthesis to facilitate the building of lean muscle mass. This dual action helps women reduce body fat percentage and, when combined with exercise, helps them sculpt a leaner, fitter-looking physique. Other metabolism-boosting benefits include:
- Improved sleep quality.
- Increase in daytime energy and mental clarity.
- Enhanced recovery and injury healing.
- Boost in skin health, elasticity, firmness, and hydration due to a boost in collagen production and skin cell regeneration.
Hormonal Balance and Aging Gracefully
Other peptides are also effective at helping balance hormonal levels in aging women, making peptide therapy an ideal treatment for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women seeking ways to tame the aging process. In addition to balancing hormone levels, these peptides support thyroid function and insulin sensitivity, and help manage estrogen and testosterone imbalances. Dr. B’s Naples practice determines which peptides will work best at restoring hormonal balance based on the patient’s health profile and symptoms.
Faster Healing and Reduced Inflammation
With natural hormone declines and reduced collagen production, aging women experience slower tissue repair and flexibility, as well as an increased likelihood of suffering from chronic inflammation, especially when they go through menopause. Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157) has been shown to be especially effective in reducing inflammation and enhancing the body’s ability to heal tissues.
BPC-157 promotes the formation of new blood vessels, collagen synthesis, and fibroblast activity, thereby accelerating the healing and repair of tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, and skin. The peptide also reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gut, thereby reducing related systemic inflammation and allowing the repair of the gastrointestinal lining.
Enhanced Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity
Numerous peptides, including BPC-157, offer neuroprotective benefits that support cognitive health, enhance mental clarity, and help alleviate the brain fog many women commonly experience during their menopausal transition. Dr. B’s Naples-area patients who undergo peptide therapy report a significant enhancement in their ability to focus and thought processing, as well as improved stability of their mood.
Boosts Skin Health and Slows Signs of Aging
If you’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about how peptides enhance skin health and slow signs of aging, know that researchers have identified many peptides with properties that boost collagen production and support skin health. The anti-inflammatory properties of certain peptides can also help alleviate related skin concerns, such as rosacea. Peptide therapy in Naples, under the guidance of Dr. B, can help firm your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dr. B Personalizes Peptide Therapy for Her Naples-Area Patients
To determine whether peptide therapy in Naples can help you address your aging-related health concerns, Dr. B or Dr. Hellman will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including lab work, of your overall health and specific health conditions. Based on this assessment and symptom review, they will determine which FDA-approved therapeutic peptides are most effective in alleviating your specific health concern and relevant symptoms, as part of a holistic approach to ensure optimal overall health. Peptide therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. B, Dr. Hellman, and Kelly Fennemore, MSN, ARNP, compound peptides for therapy to meet each patient’s unique healthcare needs. The therapy includes ongoing patient monitoring and peptide dosage adjustments as needed.

FAQ: Peptide Therapy for Women
Sermorelin for fat loss and energy, and BPC-157 for healing and reducing inflammation, are commonly used by women over 40 who want to age well and feel more balanced.
Yes. While they’re not hormone replacements, peptides can support better sleep, metabolism, and mood stability, common challenges during perimenopause and menopause.
When prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician, such as Dr. B, peptides are considered safe. Doses are customized to your individual physiology and reviewed regularly to ensure effectiveness.
Most women begin to notice improved sleep, energy, and recovery within 4-6 weeks. Fat loss and anti-aging effects may take 2–3 months with consistent treatment and support for a healthy lifestyle.
Hormone therapy replaces declining hormones directly. Peptides stimulate your body’s natural production of key healing or growth factors, offering a more targeted, functional approach.
