Peptides are revolutionizing the wellness game, and at The Kellman Center in New York City, you can experience the future of medicine today.
For many patients, it’s life-changing. They’ve tried prescriptions, lifestyle books, and even other functional medicine providers. But nothing changed. That is, until they tried peptide therapy. Peptide therapy helps restore balance and optimize your health by mimicking the body’s natural processes, making it one of the most exciting advancements in modern integrative care.

When your body is running low on certain peptides, critical functions can slow down — from energy production to immune regulation. By reintroducing specific peptides, you can often feel improvements in multiple areas of health. At our New York City practice, patients frequently report:
Peptides can increase cellular efficiency and boost mitochondrial activity — the energy factories of your cells. This translates to more consistent stamina, improved motivation, and the ability to get through your day without feeling drained or fatigued.
Many peptides support the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are essential for a stable mood and mental clarity. Patients often notice less brain fog, better concentration, and an overall sense of emotional balance.
Some peptides help regulate circadian rhythms and promote deep, restorative sleep. They also accelerate muscle and tissue recovery, helping your body repair faster from workouts, illness, or stress.
Chronic inflammation can silently drive fatigue and discomfort. Anti-inflammatory peptides help calm overactive immune responses and reduce pain naturally, supporting joint health and long-term mobility.
Peptides play a key role in gut lining repair and microbiome balance. When the gut is healthy, your immune system becomes stronger and more adaptable — one of Dr. Kellman’s core focuses at his New York City clinic.
Cognitive peptides improve neural signaling and blood flow to the brain. They can enhance learning, focus, and recall, helping you feel mentally sharper and more engaged throughout the day.
How does this happen? How can a single treatment have so many benefits? Here’s the inside scoop. Peptides are so precise that they can influence nearly every biological system in the body. There are over 7,000 peptides in the body, and it’s Dr. Kellman’s job to find the right ones for you. Under his guidance at his New York City clinic, peptides affect the following functions:
Peptides are small proteins comprised of short chains of amino acids. These compounds are naturally produced by the body as signaling molecules, meaning they are crucial to cell-to-cell communication. This means they can be used to re-activate cells that have gone dormant or cells that need a boost to get back to their full functionality.
This is a select list of peptides that we commonly use in our practice.
This highly versatile peptide is naturally produced by the thymus gland. However as we age the levels of this essential peptide decrease. It is primarily responsible for regulating the immune system; therefore it is a potent immune-modulating compound, often used in patients dealing with an autoimmune disorder or other inflammatory conditions. It reduces inflammation, increases antioxidant production, and balances immune function.
Ipamorelin
This peptide has powerful anti-aging benefits, as it naturally boosts our production of growth hormone (GH), which decreases as we age.. Unlike growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT), whose benefits required continued supplementation, Ipamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide naturally stimulates the pituitary gland to increase its production of growth hormone. Therefore, this is a natural and more effective way of slowing the aging process. Further, it helps to improve the muscle to fat ratio in the body, aids in muscle growth and repair and helps to regulate metabolism, there by boosting weight loss.
Selank is another peptide which provides powerful cognitive effects. It is often prescribed as a nasal spray, as it can be broken down in the digestive tract. By administering directly into the nasal passage, it is more directly delivered to the brain. Selank is used to treat anxiety, increase energy, reduce depression by boosting serotonin levels, as well as to improve overall cognitive function.
BPCs (body protection compounds) are primarily produced in the gut and the stomach, and they function to protect and heal the digestive tract. This peptide is a particularly useful treatment for gastrointestinal conditions, as it promotes healing of the gut. BPC-157 is naturally anti-inflammatory, helps to alleviate pain and is very effective at combating leaky gut, gastrointestinal cramping, as well as the treatment of Crohn’s Disease.
Dihexa is a cognitive enhancer, often touted as a “neuronic wonder-drug” due to its significant benefits for the brain. It may be as much as 10X stronger than the brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) often used in medications for the treatment of conditions that result in cognitive impairment and memory loss, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia, as well as Parkinson’s Disease and people dealing with traumatic brain injury. Dihexa has been shown to promote the formation of new synapses in the brain, which are essential for the transmission of nerve impulses from one neuron to the next and are responsible for the communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
