Hormones also play a crucial role in maintaining optimal health. At Equilibrium Hormone Institute in Flint, Michigan, we offer cutting-edge therapies utilizing bioidentical hormones and peptides to help patients look and feel their best.
Whether you're struggling with symptoms of hormonal decline or want to improve areas like muscle gain, weight loss, or anti-aging, our highly qualified medical team can customize a treatment plan to meet your unique needs. We also emphasize the importance of comprehensive lab testing and Nutritionals monitoring to ensure therapies are optimized for safety and efficacy.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body. There are thousands of peptides, many with potentially therapeutic effects. Some of the most common peptide injections used at Equilibrium Hormone Institute include:
Peptide therapies utilize the body's natural communication pathways to achieve targeted benefits with excellent safety profiles. When combined with adjunctive therapies like bioidentical hormones, results can be further enhanced.
Hormones are the body's chemical messengers, influencing nearly all physiological processes. Some key hormones we often focus on include:
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, accelerating symptoms like low energy, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, insomnia, and emotional imbalances. The longer hormonal deficiencies persist, the higher risk of developing chronic inflammatory conditions, heart disease, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression.
The earlier hormone imbalances are identified and corrected through peptide treatment or bioidentical hormone replacement, the more likely it is patients will achieve optimal improvements in their health, appearing and feeling youthful again. We emphasize detailed lab testing to accurately determine which peptides and hormones require replenishment.
What sets Equilibrium Hormone Institute apart is our integrative, patient-centered approach focused on precision balancing of peptide and hormone levels for enhanced outcomes. Benefits of our Flint peptide clinic include:

Obesity now affects 40% of the adult population, contributing to diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and certain cancers. For individuals struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, peptide therapies provide a potential solution.
CJC-1295 is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. By stimulating pituitary production of human growth hormone (HGH), it generates significant fat burning effects. Benefits include:
CJC-1295 is especially effective when paired with other peptides like ipamorelin. This combination provides both short and long-acting GH release for improved body composition.
Ipamorelin is a selective GH secretagogue also used for peptide therapy for weight loss. Like other GH peptides, ipamorelin increases lipolysis and fat metabolism while building muscle. Additional advantages include:
With its efficacy and favorable side effect profile, ipamorelin is one of our top peptide choices for patients seeking accelerated weight loss and body reshaping.
AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment of the C-terminus region of human growth hormone (HGH 176-191). It works by regulating fat metabolism pathways to break down adipose tissue while sparing muscle. Key benefits:
AOD-9604 is well-tolerated and helps patients overcome weight loss plateaus when combined with lifestyle changes. Meticulous nutrient tracking is key to maximizing results.
New injuries or nagging overuse issues can hamper quality of life and fitness goals. Peptide bioregulators help accelerate healing after surgery, strains or sports injuries. We personalize protocols based on injury type, size and duration.
BPC-157 is a highly regenerative peptide displaying exceptional healing effects on muscles, ligaments and tendons. Researchers attribute its benefits to stem cell activation and growth factor modulation. Perks include:
Because BPC-157 repairs damage rather than masking symptoms, it provides longer-lasting relief compared to NSAIDs or corticosteroids.
TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of the naturally formed peptide, thymosin beta-4. By regulating inflammation and stimulating cell migration/adhesion, it helps injured structures rebuild properly. Advantages include:
Due to its versatile regenerative properties, TB-500 is used to treat everything from acute pulled muscles to degenerative disc disease.
The LL-37 peptide gets its name from having 37 amino acids beginning with leucine-leucine (LL). Originally derived from a human anti-microbial protein called cathelicidin, LL-37 displays infection-fighting and tissue healing qualities. Benefits include:
LL-37 also enhances dermal collagen production for tighter, more youthful skin tone and texture after injuries.
Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal issues become more prevalent with aging. Peptides that support bone density and joint function provide an appealing option to maintain an active lifestyle.
