A Guide

All about peptides.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the body's own signaling molecules. Used thoughtfully, they support healing, metabolism, recovery, sleep, and longevity. Used in isolation, they fall short. Here's how to think about them.

"The peptide is never the whole story. The real work is what you build around it."

— Dru

Categories of practice.

A grounded overview of the peptides most often used in modern protocols.

GLP-1s & Metabolic Support

Semaglutide · Tirzepatide

Appetite regulation, glucose control, and a more sustainable relationship with food. The starting line — not the finish.

Recovery & Tissue Repair

BPC-157 · TB-500

Support healing of muscles, tendons, and gut tissue. Especially powerful around training cycles, surgery recovery, or injury.

Body Composition & Performance

CJC-1295 · Ipamorelin

Growth-hormone-supportive peptides paired with strength work to improve lean mass, recovery, and energy.

Sleep, Mood & Cognition

DSIP · Selank · Semax

Targeted support for restorative sleep, calm focus, and resilience under stress.

Longevity & Cellular Health

Epitalon · NAD+ adjuncts

Protocols designed to support mitochondrial function, telomere health, and the long game.

Custom Stacks

By protocol

Combinations tailored to your goals, labs, and lifestyle — guided, monitored, and adjusted over time.

How we work

A protocol, not a prescription.

  1. 01
    Consult
    Goals, history, labs, lifestyle.

    Protocol
    Provider-prescribed, dosed for you.

    Track, refine, sustain — the long game.

Common questions.

Are peptides safe?+

When sourced through legitimate compounding pharmacies and prescribed under medical supervision, peptides have a strong safety profile. The risk lives in unsupervised, unregulated sources. Every protocol I work with is provider-backed.

Do I need a prescription?+

Yes. Therapeutic peptides are prescription medications. We work with licensed providers and pharmacies to ensure quality, dosing, and oversight.

How fast will I see results?+

It depends on the peptide and the goal. GLP-1s often show appetite changes within days. Recovery peptides accumulate over weeks. Body composition shifts require the surrounding lifestyle work — strength training, nutrition, sleep — to actually take hold.

What's your approach?+

Peptides are a tool, not a strategy. We build the whole picture together: macros and micronutrients, supplement stack, training, sleep, and stress. The protocol is calibrated to you.
