Targeted Gut Repair for Total Digestive Wellness
Peptide Therapy for Gut Health is a targeted, restorative treatment designed to support digestive function, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the gut lining.
Using naturally occurring peptides such as BPC-157, KPV, and others that specifically support gastrointestinal tissue repair, this therapy helps calm gut irritation, reduce bloating, support nutrient absorption, and improve overall digestive wellness. Ideal for individuals dealing with IBS, leaky gut, inflammation, or stress-related gut symptoms, peptide therapy works from the inside out to restore balance and comfort.
What to Expect From Peptide Therapy for Digestive Healing & Gut Optimization
1
Step 1: Consultation
We assess your digestive symptoms, stress levels, nutritional habits, and overall wellness goals. A custom peptide plan is created to target inflammation and repair the gut lining.
2
Step 2: Treatment
You’ll begin peptide therapy using oral capsules or small subcutaneous injections. Peptides such as BPC-157 and KPV help reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue repair in the digestive tract.

Step 3: Results
Improvements may include reduced bloating, less abdominal discomfort, better digestion, and increased energy. Over time, peptides help strengthen and improve the gut barrier.
Our Approach at Total Skin
At Total Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we believe gut health is the foundation of whole-body wellness. Our approach focuses on identifying the root cause of inflammation and digestive imbalance rather than simply treating symptoms. Each peptide therapy plan is personalized, selecting the ideal peptides and dosing based on your digestive needs, symptoms, and lifestyle.
We pair treatment with integrated support that may include nutrition guidance, supplement recommendations, and strategic lifestyle adjustments, ensuring your gut has everything it needs to heal. Throughout your journey, we continuously monitor your progress and refine your plan to ensure long-lasting, meaningful results.
When your gut is balanced, your entire body functions better—from improved energy and metabolism to clearer skin, better mood, and reduced inflammation.

Casey Hoover has been phenomenal at Total Skin in Fargo. I went in for an HRT consult, and she has been helping me find a truly viable solution over the past five months. She genuinely listens to what I tell her and is open and creative in addressing my complex hormonal, autoimmune, and thyroid issues. I am so grateful to Total Skin and Casey Hoover for their dedication to helping women thrive in perimenopause!

Total Skin changed my life. I lived a confused, sad life with acne rosacea. Dr. Laframboise took one look at me and knew the cures for my skin problems. THANK you for the best 6 months I’ve had in forever. I feel comfortable with no makeup and I no longer look for the place in a room that doesn’t have harsh bright light to shine on the bumps on my cheeks. Now I’m bump free!

I’m so glad I found Whitney and followed her to Total Skin! I’m 67 and I work as a flight attendant. I’m also not into needles. Many of my coworkers do Botox and fillers, but I can’t do it. Whitney had recommendations that have improved my skin while keeping within my budget and my crazy work schedule. I constantly get compliments on my skin from both my coworkers and my passengers. Thank you, Whitney and Total Skin!

Total Skin is everything you want in a dermatology clinic! Jen and her staff are phenomenal at what they do. I never feel pressured to purchase items or services like I had been at previous skin/esthetic clinics. They take the extra time to explain the different procedures and which ones would be best for my situation. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Total Skin!!
