Movember and Men’s Health

Movember is about more than mustaches — it’s about men taking charge of their health. Each November, men are encouraged to stay proactive with screenings, conversations about mental wellness, and preventive care.

This Movember, CLS Health’s urology and men’s health specialists remind you that hormone balance, energy, and vitality all play a vital role in long-term wellness. Whether you’re growing a mustache or scheduling your first men’s health visit, now is the perfect time to focus on you.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins and essential messengers that help your body regulate hormones, repair tissues, and promote healing.

Think of them as your body’s communication system. As these signals naturally decline with age, energy, recovery, and performance may decrease.

Unlike steroids, peptides don’t replace hormones directly — they encourage your body to support its own healthy balance. Under medical supervision, peptide therapy may help improve stamina, vitality, and overall well-being.

How Peptides Support Men’s Health

Hormone Balance & Vitality

Peptides such as Sermorelin and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin help support your body’s natural growth hormone production, promoting improved energy, recovery, and mood under physician supervision.

Additionally, PT-141 nasal spray (Bremelanotide) can help enhance libido and sexual desire, particularly in men with low sexual responsiveness not related to testosterone levels.

For men who experience delayed orgasm or difficulty achieving orgasm, Oxytocin nasal spray may be recommended to support healthy sexual function by improving arousal and satisfaction responses.

Muscle Recovery & Strength

Compounds such as CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and the BPC-157 + TB-500 blend support tissue repair, inflammation control, and lean muscle development.

  • BPC-157 helps with soft tissue healing and reduced recovery time.
  • TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) complements BPC-157 by aiding cellular regeneration and flexibility after strain or injury.

These peptides are particularly helpful for men over 40 or those recovering from exercise injuries.

Weight Management & Metabolic Health

GLP-1 and GIP peptides — including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — can help regulate appetite and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. When combined with nutrition and exercise, these may support sustainable weight management.

Are Peptides Safe?

When prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical professional and obtained from a reputable compounding pharmacy, peptide therapy is generally considered safe. Your provider will check your lab results and adjust your treatment as needed.

Important: Some peptides are used off-label and are not FDA-approved for all men’s health applications. Never purchase peptides online or from unverified sources.

All therapies, including PT-141, Oxytocin, and BPC-157/TB-500, are prescribed based on lab review and medical appropriateness to ensure safety and optimal results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy may benefit men in their 30s to 60s experiencing changes in energy, recovery, or sexual health. It can also support those managing a hormonal imbalance or recovering from surgery.

It may not be suitable for men with active cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, or those without a recent lab evaluation. A consultation ensures the safest and most effective plan for your goals.

The Bigger Picture: Lifestyle and Men’s Health

Peptides are most effective when combined with a balanced lifestyle — including proper nutrition, consistent exercise, quality sleep, and stress management.

Your provider may integrate peptide therapy with testosterone optimization, weight management, or physical conditioning for lasting results.
