Feel like yourself again Clinical infrastructure by Altro Health

A more personal way to feel better, backed by your labs.

We now offer individualized peptide therapy to our patients through telehealth appointments. Every plan is written for your body, filled by a licensed 503A or 503B pharmacy, and overseen by a board-certified clinical team through our partner, Altro Health.

How we think about it

There is a difference between living longer and living better.

Most care stops at treating what hurts today. We build toward something further out. Here is how we break it down.

STAGE ONE

Years Lived

How long your body holds up. This is the number on paper.

STAGE TWO

Years Lived Well

How you feel while you're living those years. Energy, sleep, and mobility all count here.

WHAT WE BUILD FOR

Years Lived at Your Best

Sharper focus, steadier energy, and a body that recovers the way it used to. This is what a personalized protocol is built to reach.

11 areas of focus

What can peptide therapy help with?

Every plan starts with your goals and your labs. Below are the areas we cover most often for patients at Central DuPage Chiropractic. Which one sounds like you?

Plates of healthy meals01

Weight Loss

Stubborn weight often has more going on than willpower. We look at your labs, habits, and goals, then build a plan around your body. Your clinician adjusts it as you progress.

Good fit if: You have tried diets that did not stick.

Body Composition

The scale only tells part of the story. These protocols focus on building lean muscle while you lose fat. Your plan fits alongside the training you already do.

Good fit if: You want to look and feel stronger, not just weigh less.

Runner on a track03

Athletic Performance

Training hard is only half the work. These protocols aim to support your output, your endurance, and how fast you bounce back. Dr. Carlo can fit your plan with your training and rehab.

Good fit if: You train often or push your limits on the weekends.

Recovery

Sore joints and slow healing can hold you back. Peptide protocols can support your body's repair process after training, an injury, or a long stretch of physical work. Dr. Carlo keeps it in step with your chiropractic care.

Good fit if: You are coming back from an injury or a heavy training block.

Skin & Hair

How your skin and hair look often reflects what is happening inside. These protocols focus on skin quality, healing, and hair health. Your clinician builds around your goals.

Good fit if: You want a fresh look that starts from the inside.

Hormonal Balance

Shifting hormones can change your mood, sleep, energy, and focus. We start with your labs so we know what is going on. Then your clinician builds a plan to support better balance.

Good fit if: You feel off and cannot say why.

Inflammation

Low-grade inflammation can sit behind everyday aches and stiffness. These protocols take a targeted approach to calming it down. Your labs help show where to focus.

Good fit if: Aches and stiffness keep showing up.

Immune Support

Do you seem to catch every bug that goes around? Some protocols are built to support your body's natural defenses. Your clinician matches the plan to your health history.

Good fit if: You get run down often and want extra resilience.

Sleep

Eight hours does not help if the sleep is shallow. These protocols aim to support deeper, more restful sleep. Better sleep supports your energy, mood, and recovery.

Good fit if: You wake up tired no matter how long you stay in bed.

Man reading and thinking10

Cognitive Health

Brain fog and low focus can slow your whole day. Cognitive protocols aim to support sharper thinking and long-term brain health. We build them around you.

Good fit if: You want a clearer head at work and at home.

Blood draw for lab testing11

Lab Testing

Labs show what is really going on inside your body. We use Quest Diagnostics panels. They are optional, but we encourage them for every plan so your clinician can fine-tune your protocol over time.

Good fit if: You want a plan built on data, not guesses.

Common questions

Peptide therapy, answered simply.

What exactly is a peptide?

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the building blocks your body already uses to send signals between cells. Peptide therapy uses specific peptides to support things like metabolism, recovery, and sleep.

Is this safe?

Every peptide we prescribe comes from a licensed 503A or 503B pharmacy and is written by a board-certified physician. We never use research-only material or anything from the gray market.

Do I need labs first?

Labs are optional, but we recommend them. They help your clinician see the full picture and adjust your plan as your body responds.

Will this be coordinated with my chiropractic care?

Yes. Dr. Carlo stays in the loop on your peptide protocol so it fits alongside any chiropractic or rehabilitation care you're already receiving here.
