Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
What are peptides and why are they important?
Peptides are chains of amino acids that facilitate communication between cells in your body. There are over 7,000 identified peptides that regulate various functions like growth hormone, fat burning, satiety, sexual wellness, skin health, cardiovascular health, and more. Optimizing your peptide levels can enhance your overall health.
Where do peptides come from?
Peptides used should come from FDA-overseen 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies to ensure sterility, proper dosing, and the complete amino acid structure.
How is this different than getting peptides from a doctor?
While doctors can prescribe peptides, the key difference is the strategic stacking and cycling of multiple peptides each month based on lab results to target all areas of optimization.
What support is provided?
You get detailed reports on deficiencies, supplement/peptide recommendations, and a full team of advisors for fitness, nutrition, and lasting behavior changes. Different treatment phases come with a clear roadmap.
When will I see results?
Most clients see initial results within 30 days, whether it’s reduced pain, better brain function, weight loss, improved energy/sleep, etc. The full program takes 6-12 months for total rejuvenation.
Labs and Testing
Why do I need to do your blood labs over my doctor’s?
Traditional medical labs typically analyze 10-24 biomarkers. Our comprehensive tests examine 94 markers to identify deficiencies, hormone levels, inflammation pathways, and areas for optimization through nutrition and supplementation.
What lab improvements can I expect?
Generally, clients see a reduction from 30-40 out-of-range markers down to 15-20 after completing a program, though some fluctuations are normal.
Why stack peptides based on lab results?
Stacking the right peptides at the right times based on lab results allows for precision optimization. Attempting peptides without thorough testing is an inefficient “blind” approach.
Treatment Process
Do peptide injections hurt?
No, peptides are injected with small insulin syringes just under the skin at a 60-degree angle. Most people don’t feel anything when injected properly. Some peptides can also be taken orally, as nasal sprays, or topically.
Do I need to come into the office?
Not usually. Peptides and at-home regenerative medicine kits are shipped directly to you. Office visits are only needed for specific procedures like spinal treatments, knee treatments, or brain treatments.
Do I have to stay on peptides forever?
No, peptides are cycled with 1–3-month periods on them, followed by breaks to allow your body to produce them naturally again. The goal is not to require the same peptide indefinitely.
How can I increase speed and effectiveness?
Attend the monthly longevity retreats which provide a comprehensive day of cutting-edge treatments, testing, and the ability to sample/purchase peptides and stem cell therapies at discounts.
Lifestyle and Support
Will I have to give up favorite foods?
Not necessarily, but some unhealthy habits may need adjusting. Peptides like GLP-1s can help reduce cravings for things like fast food, soda, and alcohol.
Can I work with my existing doctor?
Absolutely. Collaborating with your doctors provides the best approach, as they manage diseases while the peptide experts optimize your overall health.
Can my spouse join?
Yes, couples are encouraged to go through the program together as it leads to amazing transformations. There is a “no nagging” policy!
Costs and Customization
How much does it cost?
Costs are customized based on your initial lab results and chosen program/protocols. You’ll receive transparent pricing options to fit your budget.
