Your peptides aren’t broken. Your expectations might be a little rushed.

Peptides don’t work like a one-and-done injection — they’re cellular messengers. They need time to accumulate, regulate receptors, and actually shift physiology. Especially in lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–II), where inflammatory response and temporary fluid shifts can feel more noticeable early on.

GLPs:
Some patients feel anti-inflammatory benefits quickly. Others hold first, then release. Both are normal biology.

Tesamorelin:
Temporary water retention ≠ failure. This phase can take ~6 weeks to settle before visible body-composition changes show up — particularly in leaner or lighter-skin patients.

Bottom line:
This is medicine, not magic. Consistency > impatience. Stay on protocol and let your body catch up.

Most people have a countertop full of vitamins and still feel depleted.

I always tell my patients: stop guessing. Let’s actually look at your biology.

In this conversation with on the podcast, I explained why bloodwork is only a snapshot in time. It tells me what your levels look like today, not what your genes are programmed to do long term.

When we run DNA and epigenetic testing, I can see where your pathways are struggling — methylation issues, absorption problems, genetic deficiencies you could never catch on traditional labs. That’s why so many people take 20+ supplements and barely absorb any of them. You’re treating symptoms, not the blueprint.

Epigenetic supplementation changes that. It lets me build a targeted protocol based on your actual genes, so we’re supporting the system at its root instead of throwing vitamins at the wall and hoping something works.

This is personalized wellness done correctly — data-driven, intentional, and finally effective.

We’re not over Ozempic because it doesn’t work.

We’re over stopping the conversation there.

GLP-1 medications target one metabolic pathway, which is why so many patients eventually plateau. Newer therapies like retatrutide are being developed to engage multiple metabolic signals at once: appetite, insulin regulation, and energy balance, and that’s why they’re getting so much attention.

Have you heard of MELANOTAN 2?

Melanotan II is a peptide that mimics that signal, increasing pigment production even with minimal sun exposure.

Used correctly, it can help patients who work indoors or have limited sunlight achieve a natural, even glow without hours of UV exposure. A brief walk outside can activate melanin production, and the peptide amplifies that signal for a more noticeable result.

The goal isn’t overuse — it’s controlled, supervised support for patients who want healthier, safer pigment stimulation.

If you’ve been battling acne for years and nothing is working, it’s time to look beyond skincare. Chronic breakouts are rarely just a “topical issue.” In many cases, the real triggers are internal: gut imbalance, inflammation, food sensitivities, and insulin resistance.

We now have labs specifically designed to evaluate acne physiology — panels that help us understand:
• Is your gut microbiome driving inflammation?
• Are you insulin resistant?
• Are certain foods triggering an autoimmune response?
• Is your hormonal landscape stable or disrupted?

When acne is persistent, it’s a systemic problem, not a surface one. And when we treat the root cause, the skin follows.

If your skin hasn’t changed despite every cream and protocol, it’s time to test — not guess.

So many women feel exhausted, burnt out, and “off” and the labs tell us why.

Low testosterone, adrenal fatigue, and vitamin deficiencies are incredibly common and massively impact energy, mood, libido, and muscle tone.

As we discussed on the podcast with , testosterone isn’t a “male hormone.” Women need it too and when levels are restored, the shift can be dramatic. One patient felt like herself again in just three weeks.

This is why real testing matters. Your symptoms have answers.
