Big News: Peptide Therapy Has Arrived at Wellness at Brooks

February 23rd, 2026

---

Friends,

You know me — I don’t recommend anything I haven’t researched thoroughly. As a board-

certified surgeon who spent years in the OR watching preventable disease take its toll, and

now as your wellness coach, I am very selective about what I bring into our community. So

when I tell you I’m excited about this, I mean it.

I have officially partnered with EllieMD to bring pharmaceutical-grade weight loss and

longevity peptide therapy to my patients at Wellness at Brooks.

If you’ve been watching the peptide and GLP-1 space, you know there’s a lot of noise right

now. A lot of companies making big promises with little clinical oversight. EllieMD is different

— and that’s exactly why I said yes.

Here’s what I love about them: every treatment plan is reviewed and prescribed by a state-

licensed, board-certified MD or DO. Medications are compounded at 503A-compliant,

state-licensed pharmacies using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. And their 3-month

protocols are designed the way medicine should be — titrated carefully, reassessed

regularly, and personalized to your body and your goals. No cookie-cutter dosing. No one-

size-fits-all shortcuts.

So what’s available?

For my patients focused on weight loss, we can now access compounded semaglutide and

tirzepatide protocols — the same GLP-1 medications you’ve been hearing about, delivered

with real medical oversight and support. Every plan includes nausea management and 24/7

provider access. No waiting rooms. No rushed appointments. Just real, personalized care.

For those of you who are already at a healthy weight but want to stay there — and age well

while doing it — EllieMD’s longevity peptide options are a game-changer. Think NAD+ for

cellular energy and metabolism, Sermorelin to support natural growth hormone production,

B12 for energy and brain health, and even a GLP-1 microdose option designed specifically

for long-term metabolic health and vitality rather than weight loss. These are the kinds of

tools that support your body at the cellular level — which, as I always say, is where lasting

health actually begins.

This is not a replacement for the foundational work we do together — nutrition, sleep, stress

management, movement. Peptide therapy is a powerful complement to those pillars, not a

substitute. My job is still to help you understand your body, address root causes, and build

sustainable habits. But for many of my patients, having this additional clinical tool available

makes all the difference.

As your physician-coach, I will be with you every step of the way — helping you decide if

peptide therapy is right for you, which protocol aligns with your health history and goals,

and how to integrate it into your overall wellness plan.
