Common questions.
What happens after my first shipment arrives?
You will get a tracking number when your order ships and a delivery confirmation when it arrives. Your medication includes dosing instructions specific to what your clinician prescribed. If you have questions about administration, your clinician's contact information is in your account.
How fast is shipping?
Orders typically ship within a couple of business days of an approved prescription. Temperature-sensitive medications ship cold-chain with end-to-end tracking.
How is my information handled?
Our request form collects contact information only, never health information. Any health details you share with your clinician during a consult are handled by their practice. If a prescription is approved, only the details needed to ship your order are transmitted securely to the partner pharmacy.
How do I get a consult?
Start a consult request and share your contact information on the short request form. Our team will reach out to schedule your visit with a licensed clinician.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. We only fulfill orders backed by a valid prescription written by a licensed clinician for an individually identified patient. A consult is the starting point for every therapy.
What are peptide and wellness therapies?
Peptide and wellness therapies are prescription treatments designed to support specific health goals such as weight management, recovery, energy production, healthy aging, and overall wellness. Every treatment begins with a consultation to determine if it's appropriate for your individual needs.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. All prescription therapies require a medical evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider. If you're an appropriate candidate, a personalized treatment plan will be created for you.
How do I know which therapy is right for me?
Our medical team will review your health history, goals, medications, and, when appropriate, laboratory results to recommend the treatment that best aligns with your objectives.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the therapy and the individual. Some people notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may require several months of consistent treatment to experience the full benefits.
Are these treatments safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider, these therapies are generally well tolerated. As with any medication, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be reviewed during your consultation.
Can these therapies be combined with my current medications?
Possibly. Your provider will review your current medications, supplements, and medical history to ensure any recommended therapy is safe and appropriate for you.
Are injections painful?
Most injectable therapies use a very small needle and are administered just beneath the skin. Patients typically report minimal discomfort, and our team provides training so you feel comfortable administering treatments at home when applicable.
Do I have to stay on treatment forever?
Not necessarily. Treatment duration depends on your health goals, how you respond, and your provider's recommendations. Some therapies are used short-term, while others may be continued as part of a long-term wellness plan.
What lifestyle changes should I make while using these therapies?
The best results come from combining treatment with healthy habits, including proper nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep, hydration, and stress management. These therapies are intended to complement—not replace—a healthy lifestyle.
Will insurance cover these treatments?
Coverage varies by insurance plan and the specific therapy prescribed. Many wellness and longevity treatments are self-pay. Our team will review pricing and available payment options before you begin treatment.
