Physician-led peptide care in San Diego

Peptide therapy in San Diego

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Peptide therapy at Hormones and Wellness by SD Body is physician-evaluated: a doctor reviews candidacy, current evidence, safety, and monitoring before anything is recommended.

Peptide therapy attracts a lot of online noise. Our approach is the opposite of that. A board-certified physician reviews whether a peptide is an appropriate option for your goals and health, explains what the evidence does and does not support, and oversees monitoring.

What a peptide evaluation reviews

  • Your goals and current health information
  • Candidacy and any contraindications
  • Available evidence and confirmed offerings
  • Safety and a monitoring plan

How care works

  1. Intake and goals.
  2. Evaluation of candidacy and health information.
  3. Physician consultation on evidence, options, and safety.
  4. Plan and monitoring, if appropriate.

Physician oversight is the point

Because this category is loosely regulated online, physician oversight is what separates care from a purchase. This practice is run by real medical doctors who evaluate candidacy and monitor your response. Meet the physicians.

Peptide therapy questions patients ask

Are peptides safe?
Benefits and risks vary by peptide and by patient. A physician reviews candidacy, evidence, contraindications, and monitoring before recommending anything.
Which peptides do you offer?
Confirmed offerings are reviewed at your consultation. A clinician explains what is appropriate for your goals and health.
Will I have to stay on treatment forever?
Duration depends on the reason for treatment, your response, risks, preferences, and medical guidance. A clinician explains the monitoring plan and how treatment may be changed or stopped.
Do you have a location near me?
We see patients in person at two San Diego clinics: Mission Hills and La Jolla. You choose the location that is most convenient.
Does insurance cover it?
