When you hear “peptide therapy for cancer,” you might picture something niche or overly technical. Yet the reality is a lot more human: these treatments are about smart precision and customizing care around who you are. At Avena Natural Health, we believe in offering peptide therapy for cancer that blends rigorous scientific protocols with genuine empathy. Imagine therapies like Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate or Octreotide targeted at wellness, not symptoms.
Inside the Peptides: Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, Bortezomib, Goserelin, Leuprolide, Octreotide
We offer a lineup of peptides that each carry its own focused action. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is known for its targeted radiotherapy, homing in on specific tumor receptors. Bortezomib has a knack for disrupting abnormal cell activity through proteasome inhibition. Goserelin and Leuprolide modulate hormone responses in a way that helps regulate growth pathways. Octreotide plays a role in controlling hormone release and can assist in stabilizing tumor behavior. All of these agents come together under the broader label “peptide therapy for cancer,” yet they approach the challenge from complementary angles. At Avena, the effort is precision and personalized alignment.
Why "Peptide therapy for cancer" Feels Right for Natural Health
When someone opts in for peptide therapy for cancer within a naturopathic framework, it’s because they want more than just “treatment.” They want partnership, they want clarity, and they want treatments like these chosen carefully to co-exist with lifestyle, nutrition, and whole-person approaches. It’s modern medicine that also respects the foundational, nurturing ethos of naturopathy.
Integrated Support During Peptide Therapy for Cancer at Avena
We’re not just handing you peptides and sending you home. While you engage in peptide therapy for cancer, you’ll also enjoy deeply supportive services. Maybe you’ll schedule a session for acupuncture and TCM in San Diego to manage stress, support circulation, or ease side effects. Perhaps you’ll ask about IV therapy in San Diego to replenish nutrients efficiently or try hyperbaric oxygen treatment in San Diego to support cellular healing. When you’re ready, you can always consult a naturopathic doctor at Avena who will weave all these threads together into a cohesive journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is peptide therapy for cancer?
It refers to using small chains of amino acids—peptides—designed to bind to specific receptors on cancer cells or act on cellular pathways in focused ways. They’re precise, targeted, and often paired with other supportive therapies to round out treatment.
Are these peptides safe to use along with natural approaches?
Every peptide has a scientific track record. When administered by professionals who understand both medical and naturopathic frameworks—like our team at Avena—it’s not only safe, it’s optimized to support you as a whole person.
What makes Avena different for peptide therapy?
Here, the medical is always human. You’re not undergoing peptide therapy for cancer in isolation. You’re part of a supportive environment that may include acupuncture and TCM in San Diego, IV therapy in San Diego, hyperbaric oxygen treatment in San Diego, and options to consult a naturopathic doctor at Avena—all pulled together in a single, thoughtful tapestry.
How do these peptides differ from traditional chemo?
While chemotherapy broadly attacks fast-growing cells (often with significant collateral impact), peptides such as Bortezomib, Octreotide, Leuprolide, and Goserelin are more targeted, acting on specific cellular processes or receptors. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate hones in on receptor-positive cells with radiolabeled precision. It’s a more focused approach, with the potential for fewer side effects and sharper outcomes.

Dr. Laura Kostrzewski, a San Diego native, completed her undergraduate degree at California Polytechnic State University, earning a BS in animal science with minors in Spanish and Psychology. She then earned her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and taught fifth grade in the central coast of California for two years. After being extremely involved in her grandfather’s journey with Parkinson’s disease and end-of-life care, Dr. Kostrzewski decided to move back to San Diego and enroll at Bastyr University California. Dr. Kostrzewski received her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University California in June of 2019, and then went on to complete her residency at Bastyr. Before AVENA Wellness, DR. K started her own private practice, focusing on management of neurodegenerative conditions, and continued teaching at Bastyr as adjunct faculty, until founding Avena Health.
