These Are Prescription Medications — Not Wellness Products

GLP-1 medications are prescription-only for a reason.

A qualified medical professional should:
✔️ Evaluate your medical history
✔️ Screen for contraindications
✔️ Prescribe legally sourced medication
✔️ Monitor labs, symptoms, and side effects
✔️ Adjust dosing safely over time

Anyone selling GLP-1s without a prescription—or telling you they’ve “found a workaround”—is bypassing safeguards designed to protect patients.

Weight loss is not worth:
• Infection
• Pancreatitis
• Severe GI injury
• Hormonal disruption
• Legal and financial fallout

Please choose safety over shortcuts. Choose experience over convenience. And choose providers who follow medical, ethical, and legal standards—because your health actually matters.

Research-Grade Products May Not Be Pure Medication

This is the part people really don’t like to talk about.

Research-grade products are not required to meet pharmaceutical purity standards. Independent testing has shown that some contain:
⚠️ Incorrect concentrations
⚠️ Degraded peptide fragments
⚠️ Heavy metals
⚠️ Unknown contaminants

You have no way of knowing what’s actually in that vial—because no one is required to verify it for patient use.

GLP-1s are powerful medications that affect:
• Blood sugar
• Gastric emptying
• Hormones
• Cardiovascular risk
• Lean mass

Introducing unknown contaminants into that system is not “biohacking.” It’s gambling with your health.

Compounded GLP-1s ≠ “Mixed at Home”

There is a massive difference between legitimate compounding and someone “mixing peptides.”

Properly compounded GLP-1 medications:
✔️ Are prepared in licensed, sterile compounding pharmacies
✔️ Follow USP standards (including clean rooms and aseptic technique)
✔️ Are tested for sterility, stability, and concentration accuracy
✔️ Have documented beyond-use dates
✔️ Are dispensed with medical oversight and traceability

What this is not:
🚫 A powder vial shipped to your house
🚫 Instructions found on Reddit
🚫 “Just add bacteriostatic water”

Home reconstitution introduces contamination risk, dosing errors, and instability. Too little = ineffective. Too much = severe side effects. Contaminated = infection risk.

Medication preparation is not a DIY project.

“Research-Grade” GLP-1s Are NOT for Humans — Period

Let’s clear something up, because patients are getting hurt.

If a GLP-1 product is labeled “research grade,” “for laboratory use,” or “not for human consumption,” it is not approved for patient use. Full stop.

These products are sold under loopholes intended for bench research, not medical treatment. That labeling exists for a reason:
➡️ No FDA oversight for human safety
➡️ No required sterility testing
➡️ No validated dosing accuracy
➡️ No accountability if something goes wrong

In many states, including Iowa, licensed medical professionals are expected to prescribe and dispense medications that meet medical and legal standards. Across the U.S., providers have already faced fines, disciplinary action, and license loss for using research-grade peptides on patients.

If someone is injecting you with—or selling you—“research grade” GLP-1s, that should immediately raise concern.

This is your body. You deserve better than experimental shortcuts.

Still seeing shipping delays after last weekend’s weather. Hopefully things will catch up soon. I’ll keep watching and if any changes contact individuals as needed.

Research grade really does mean NOT for human use! Cheaper isn’t worth the risk!

BREAKING: Aurora IV and Wellness permanently closes following a lawsuit for using medications not approved for human use.

Aurora IV and Wellness, a Cullman based IV infusion clinic, has been permanently closed following a settlement with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall.

In November 2025, the Attorney General’s Office obtained a temporary restraining order against the business and its owners, Amanda and Chris Medders, after alleging violations of Alabama’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The order shut down the clinic and prohibited the owners from engaging in healthcare related business while the case was pending.

On Monday, the Attorney General announced the lawsuit has now been settled. Under the terms of the agreement, Aurora IV and Wellness is permanently closed, and the Medderses are prohibited from working in the healthcare industry in any capacity involving direct patient care.

The settlement requires the defendants to pay $17,267.50 in restitution to affected consumers, along with $7,000 in penalties and fees to the state. Amanda Medders has also surrendered her nursing license to the Alabama Board of Nursing.

According to the Attorney General’s Office, the investigation found the clinic advertised weight loss medications as pharmaceutical grade but instead provided research grade chemicals that were not approved for human use.

Balance is required. We don’t want dominance one way or the other. Then the game of “normal” labs 😂. Depending on who you ask.

Grateful is an understatement.
This Thanksgiving season, I’m especially thankful for my patients, this community, and the trust you place in me every day.

Your support is the reason County NP continues to grow, and it’s truly an honor to care for you and your families.
Wishing you a warm, healthy, peaceful Thanksgiving.
