Energy & Metabolism Peptide Therapy
When Tired Is Your Default Setting, Something Needs to Change.
Energy & Metabolism Peptide Therapy at Nava Health — clinically supervised protocols targeting the cellular roots of fatigue, sluggish metabolism, and poor endurance.
What Is Energy & Metabolism Peptide Therapy?
There’s a version of fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix. Where the coffee stops working the way it used to. Where your body just doesn’t seem to burn fuel the way it once did — even when you’re eating right and moving regularly.
That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a cellular problem.
Your mitochondria are the energy-producing structures inside every cell. When they’re damaged, inflamed, or just inefficient, the effects show up everywhere — low stamina, poor metabolism, brain fog, slow recovery. The issue isn’t on the surface. It’s deep.
Energy & Metabolism Peptide Therapy targets these systems directly. The peptides in this category signal the body to repair mitochondria, switch fuel sources, activate fat-burning pathways, and produce energy more reliably — without stimulants that wear off or crash.
Everything starts with your labs. Your Nava provider identifies the specific metabolic patterns holding you back and builds a protocol to address them.
Our Energy & Metabolism Peptides
Each peptide in this category targets a specific part of how your body produces and uses energy. Your provider will recommend the right one based on your biomarkers and what you’re experiencing.
MOTS-c
“Exercise in a Bottle”
What It Targets
Low stamina and a sluggish metabolism that doesn’t handle sugar or carbs the way it used to — leaving you tired after meals and dragging through workouts.
How It Works
MOTS-c is a peptide produced inside the mitochondria themselves. It activates AMPK — an enzyme that senses the body’s energy state and improves how glucose gets used in muscle cells. It also shifts the body toward burning fat as fuel more readily. The effects look a lot like what regular aerobic exercise does metabolically, which is where the nickname comes from.
The Result
Better endurance, more reliable energy throughout the day, and a metabolism that’s actually responding — not fighting you at every turn.
Best For
Low stamina, sluggish metabolism, poor glucose response, pre-diabetes support, performance optimization
SS-31
“The Mitochondrial Repairman”
What It Targets
The deep kind of fatigue — not just “tired,” but feeling chronically run down, mentally foggy, and depleted in a way that rest doesn’t fully resolve.
How It Works
SS-31 goes directly to the inner mitochondrial membrane — where ATP, your body’s energy currency, is actually made. It acts as a targeted antioxidant there, protecting against the oxidative damage that degrades mitochondrial efficiency over time. When mitochondria are damaged, they produce less energy and more waste. SS-31 helps stop that cycle.
The Result
Energy that comes from your cells actually working better — not from pushing through with stimulants. Clearer thinking, improved physical capacity, and a reduction in the systemic depletion that’s been dragging everything down.
Best For
Chronic fatigue, post-illness energy depletion, brain fog, mitochondrial dysfunction, age-related metabolic decline
5-Amino-1MQ
“The Metabolic Switch”
What It Targets
Stubborn body fat that won’t move and daily energy that’s unpredictable — where the metabolism has essentially slowed to a crawl.
How It Works
5-Amino-1MQ works by blocking an enzyme called NNMT, which suppresses the metabolic activity of fat cells. When NNMT is active, fat cells become metabolically “lazy.” By blocking it, this peptide reactivates fat cell metabolism, increases NAD+ availability in adipose tissue, and essentially flips a switch from fat-storing to fat-burning at the cellular level.
The Result
Fat that starts moving again. Energy that’s steadier and doesn’t crash. A metabolism that responds the way it should, rather than working against every effort you make.
Best For
Stubborn body fat, low daily energy, weight loss resistance, metabolic plateau, metabolic syndrome
SLU-PP-332
“The Endurance Booster”
What It Targets
Low physical stamina and difficulty managing weight — especially in people who want to improve endurance but can’t push hard enough to get there.
How It Works
SLU-PP-332 activates nuclear receptors that control the genes responsible for fat oxidation and mitochondrial growth. The practical result is that the body starts preferring fat as its primary fuel source — even during moderate activity. This is the metabolic profile of a well-trained endurance athlete, and this peptide helps create it without requiring years of training to get there.
The Result
A body that burns fat for fuel rather than defaulting to sugar. Better stamina, improved weight management, and energy that holds through the day without the spikes and crashes.
Best For
Low stamina, weight management difficulty, poor fat oxidation, improving endurance

Why Choose Nava Health for Energy & Metabolism Peptide Therapy
Clinician Guided, Not Automated
Every protocol is designed and monitored by a licensed functional medicine provider. Dosing gets adjusted based on your labs and how you respond.
Nutrition Coordinated Into the Plan
Metabolic peptides work best alongside the right nutritional approach. Nava’s nutritionists work alongside your provider so everything is in sync.
No Stimulants or Quick Fixes
These protocols support genuine metabolic improvement. The goal is a body that produces energy reliably on its own — not one that needs an external boost to function.
Progress You Can Actually Measure
Energy levels, metabolic markers, and body composition are tracked through lab retesting and the Nava Health App. You won’t be guessing.
