Dr. Koniver prefers using peptides over direct hormone manipulation to avoid negative feedback and shutdown of natural production.

“while peptides can be hormones there are things like uh um uh oxytocin is sometimes called a peptide in people think about hormone therapies thinking testosterone estrogen prone uh you know thyroid Etc it it sounds to me like much of your practice is built up around the the notion that there are things that one can use peptides to kind of um push and pull on these various systems without getting into them directly”
