Peptide Therapy Masterclass: Clinical Applications

Peptide therapy has moved from niche biohacking territory into mainstream functional and regenerative medicine practice — and patients are increasingly asking about compounds like BPC-157, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Epitalon. The problem: most practitioners were never formally trained on peptide pharmacology, clinical indications, or safety screening, leaving a gap between patient demand and practitioner confidence.

This masterclass, part of the AIC Functional Medicine Training Program, is built for that gap. It delivers a clinical-depth walkthrough of peptide biology and the major therapeutic peptides — healing and repair peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, growth hormone secretagogues like CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin, cognitive/neuro peptides, and longevity peptides like Epitalon and Thymosin Alpha-1 — including their evidence base, appropriate clinical indications, dosing and delivery considerations, contraindications, and how to screen patients for candidacy. Dr. Ashwani Garg draws on functional medicine case patterns — gut repair, cognitive dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and accelerated aging — to show how peptide protocols are actually integrated into a root-cause treatment plan, not prescribed in isolation.

The depth, terminology, and case-based teaching are calibrated for a practitioner audience, though informed patients who want a clinical-depth understanding of peptide therapy are welcome to enroll.

Patients are already asking about peptides like BPC-157, CJC-1295, and Epitalon — the question is whether the practitioner across the table can answer with clinical confidence or is caught relying on the same internet claims the patient already read. This masterclass equips you with the pharmacology, clinical judgment, and safety framework to evaluate and integrate peptide protocols responsibly, as part of the AIC Functional Medicine Training Program. Informed patients auditing this course will walk away with a clearer, evidence-grounded picture too — but the training is built, first, for the practitioner in the room.
