Education Before Everything
You'll understand every option before any decision is made
We don't sell peptides.
We guide people to the right ones.
Peptide therapy is one of the most discussed areas in integrative medicine right now — and one of the most misunderstood. The options vary widely. So does the evidence. So does who each therapy is actually appropriate for.
At Coastal MD™, we believe the most valuable thing we can offer isn’t a list of treatments — it’s clarity. This page walks you through the categories of peptide therapy we offer, what each one is, who tends to explore it, and what the clinical process looks like at our practice.
If something resonates, the next step is a consultation. That’s where the real conversation starts.
Three things are true of every therapy we discuss...
01
We start with education, not enthusiasm.
Before any therapy is recommended, we explain what it is, what the current evidence supports, and what its regulatory status means for you. You’ll always know what you’re considering and why.
02
We build plans around individuals, not protocols.
Your health history, labs, goals, and lifestyle all inform what we discuss. Results vary by person — and that’s not a disclaimer, it’s the clinical reality we take seriously.
03
We supervise the entire process.
Every therapy at Coastal MD™ is initiated and monitored by a licensed provider. Dosing, timing, and adjustments are calibrated as you go — not set and forgotten.
Explore Your Options Based on Your Goal
For those navigating appetite, metabolism, and long-term weight management.
GLP-1 and multi-receptor peptide therapies have reshaped how integrative medicine approaches weight management. At Coastal MD™, these therapies are discussed as part of a comprehensive plan — one that includes personalized nutrition guidance, movement, and ongoing provider support. The medication is one piece. The relationship with your provider is the other.
A medical evaluation is required to determine whether any of these options is appropriate for you.
Semaglutide
Triple Receptor Agonist (GLP-1, GIP & Glucagon)
What It Is
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — a medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar management. It is FDA-approved for weight management and for certain metabolic conditions, making it one of the most established options we discuss in this category.
How It Works
Semaglutide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)
✔ Improving blood sugar regulation
✔ Supporting insulin sensitivity
✔ Promoting gradual fat loss
Individual results vary, and therapy works best when combined with nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
What to Expect
You may experience:
- Gradual appetite reduction and feeling full sooner with smaller portions
- Progressive weight loss over several months
- Dose titration to improve tolerability
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue
Tips: Slow dose escalation helps minimize side effects. Notify your provider if symptoms are persistent or severe.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Semaglutide may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Have overweight or obesity

Tirzepatide
Dual GIP & GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
What It Is
Tirzepatide activates two distinct hormone receptors — GLP-1 and GIP — involved in appetite regulation, insulin response, and energy balance. FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management, it represents a dual-pathway approach to metabolic support. At Coastal MD™, it’s explored with patients whose clinical picture suggests a single-receptor approach may not fully address their needs.
How It Works
Tirzepatide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)
✔ Improving blood sugar regulation
✔ Supporting insulin sensitivity
✔ Slowing gastric emptying for more sustained satiety
✔ Promoting gradual fat loss through dual-pathway receptor activation
Its dual-receptor activity provides enhanced metabolic effects compared to single-pathway GLP-1 medications. Individual results vary.
What to Expect
You may experience:
- Gradual appetite reduction and feeling full sooner with smaller portions
- Progressive weight loss over several months
- Weekly dosing with gradual dose escalation
- Body composition changes that develop over time alongside lifestyle habits
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:

✔ Have metabolic dysfunction that may benefit from dual-pathway support
✔ Are committed to structured lifestyle modification
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
Why Make Coastal MD™ Part of Your Peptide Plan?
Like Semaglutide, therapy begins at a low dose with gradual titration. A personalized nutrition and movement plan is built alongside treatment. Body composition and appetite changes develop progressively over several months. Individual results vary based on lifestyle adherence, baseline metabolic health, and other clinical factors reviewed during your consultation. At Coastal MD™, your provider will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for nutrition, hydration, and exercise that fits your lifestyle and individual health needs. We are here to guide you, answer questions, and help you stay on track. Think of us as your biggest motivator and partner in achieving your health, weight, and recovery goals.
Retatrutide
Triple Receptor Agonist (GLP-1, GIP & Glucagon)
What It Is
Retatrutide is a triple receptor agonist — it activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon pathways — representing a broader metabolic approach than single or dual-receptor therapies. It is currently investigational and undergoing clinical trials. It is not yet FDA-approved for general use. At Coastal MD™, Retatrutide is discussed selectively with patients who have been carefully evaluated and have not achieved sufficient results with established options.
How It Works
Retatrutide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)
✔ Improving blood sugar regulation
✔ Supporting insulin sensitivity
✔ Increasing energy expenditure — a mechanism not present in single or dual-pathway agents
✔ Promoting fat loss through triple-receptor metabolic activation
Its triple-receptor activity may provide broader metabolic effects compared to single or dual-pathway medications. Individual results vary.
What to Expect
You may experience:
- Gradual appetite reduction over the first several weeks
- Feeling full sooner with smaller portions
- Progressive weight loss over several months
- Dose titration based on individual tolerance and provider guidance
- Lifestyle consistency — particularly protein intake and resistance training — significantly influences results
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue
Tips: Slow dose escalation helps minimize side effects. Notify your provider if symptoms are persistent or severe.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Retatrutide may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Have overweight or obesity
✔ Struggle with appetite regulation
✔ Have metabolic dysfunction or insulin resistance
✔ Have not achieved adequate results with GLP-1 or dual-receptor therapy
✔ Are committed to structured lifestyle modification, including protein intake and resistance training
✔ Understand and accept the investigational status of this therapy after a full provider discussion
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
Why Make Coastal MD™ Part of Your Peptide Plan?
Weight loss occurs gradually and varies by individual. Adequate protein intake and resistance training are essential to help preserve lean muscle during weight loss — your Coastal MD™ provider will factor this into your plan from day one. Because Retatrutide is investigational, the conversation at Coastal MD™ includes a transparent review of its regulatory status and the current evidence before any decision is made. Your provider will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for nutrition, hydration, and exercise that fits your lifestyle and individual health needs. We are here to guide you, answer questions, and help you stay on track. Think of us as your biggest motivator and partner in achieving your health, weight, and recovery goals.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those experiencing the effects of age-related hormonal decline.
Growth hormone naturally declines with age — and the changes that come with it are real: shifts in body composition, energy, sleep quality, recovery, and vitality. The peptides in this category work by supporting the body’s own growth hormone production rather than replacing it. That distinction matters both clinically and for how these therapies feel over time.
At Coastal MD™, growth hormone support is explored within a structured lifestyle framework. Exercise, nutrition, and consistency are not optional adjuncts — they are integral to how these therapies work.
Sermorelin
Growth Hormone–Releasing Peptide (GHRH)
What It Is
Sermorelin is a peptide that signals the pituitary gland to increase its own production of growth hormone — in a physiologic, pulsatile pattern that mirrors the body’s natural release. It does not replace growth hormone. It supports the body’s ability to produce more of its own.
What to Expect
- Early improvements in sleep quality and energy may be noticed within the first few weeks for some patients
- Body composition changes develop gradually over several months
- Maximum benefit may take up to six months of consistent therapy
- Resistance training significantly enhances outcomes — it is strongly recommended
- Lifestyle factors including nutrition and sleep quality influence individual response
- Individual results vary
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Mild injection site irritation or redness
- Flushing
- Headache
- Transient fatigue
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Sermorelin may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Experience age-related fatigue or reduced vitality
✔ Notice decreased lean muscle mass
✔ Struggle with increased body fat despite consistent effort
✔ Have poor sleep quality
✔ Want support for recovery and physical performance
✔ Are committed to exercise and lifestyle optimization
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
What the Process Looks Like
Sermorelin is injected subcutaneously before bed — when the body’s natural GH release is highest. Elevated insulin reduces GH output, so injecting on an empty stomach is recommended. Your Coastal MD™ provider will guide proper dosing, injection technique, and timing, and will follow your progress over the course of therapy.
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
Synergistic Dual-Pathway GH-Stimulating Peptides
What It Is
Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are combined because they work through different receptor pathways — CJC stimulates the GHRH receptor; Ipamorelin stimulates the ghrelin receptor. Together, they produce a more robust, physiologic growth hormone pulse than either would alone. This combination is explored at Coastal MD™ for patients seeking body recomposition, performance support, and recovery enhancement.
What to Expect
- Sleep and energy improvements are often reported within the first few weeks
- Body composition changes develop over three to six months
- Maximum benefit may take up to six months of consistent use
- High-intensity resistance training significantly enhances the benefit of this therapy
- Individual results vary based on lifestyle adherence, training intensity, and baseline hormone levels
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Mild injection site irritation
- Transient water retention
- Headache
- Mild fatigue
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Are physically active and committed to a structured training routine
✔ Experience age-related body composition changes such as increased fat or reduced muscle
✔ Have performance or recovery goals they want to support
✔ Are looking for a more robust GH-support protocol than a single peptide provides
✔ Want support for body recomposition alongside an established exercise program
✔ Are committed to consistent lifestyle habits including sleep, nutrition, and training
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously before bed on an empty stomach — insulin in the system reduces GH release, making timing essential. Your Coastal MD™ provider will review proper injection technique, dosing frequency, and how to structure your nutrition and training alongside therapy to support the best individual response.
Tesamorelin
Stabilized GHRH Analog
What It Is
Tesamorelin is a stabilized growth hormone–releasing hormone analog for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It may also be explored off-label at Coastal MD™ under medical supervision for broader metabolic and body composition goals. Among GH-stimulating peptides, Tesamorelin has been evaluated in larger clinical trials than most, and it specifically targets visceral (deep abdominal) adipose tissue — a clinically meaningful distinction.
What to Expect
- Gradual reduction in visceral abdominal fat over time
- Body composition changes develop progressively over several months
- Consistent daily use is required for optimal benefit
- Structured exercise and nutrition are integral — not optional — to outcomes
- Individual results vary; lifestyle factors significantly influence response
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Tesamorelin may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Have increased visceral or central abdominal fat accumulation
✔ Are managing metabolic dysfunction or body composition challenges
✔ Want body composition support grounded in a peptide with a clinical research history
✔ Are committed to structured exercise and nutrition alongside therapy
✔ Meet medical criteria determined by their Coastal MD™ provider
✔ Understand the distinction between FDA-approved and off-label use after a full provider discussion
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Injection site irritation or redness
- Peripheral edema (fluid retention)
- Joint or muscle discomfort
- Headache
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously once daily. Your provider will walk you through the difference between approved and off-label use, what the evidence supports, and what that means for your individual situation. Nothing is assumed — everything is discussed before any decision is made.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those supporting their body's natural healing process.
The peptides in this category are explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of injury recovery, tissue repair, and musculoskeletal support. They are compounded and not FDA-approved — and we want you to understand what that means before we discuss anything further.
Compounded peptides are legal, customizable, and commonly used in integrative medicine. They are also subject to evolving regulatory guidance. At Coastal MD™, we discuss them honestly: what the evidence suggests, what it doesn’t yet confirm, and how your individual clinical picture factors into any recommendation. A diagnosed injury or condition — with imaging where appropriate — is typically required before we target a recovery protocol to a specific area.
BPC-157
Injectable — Musculoskeletal & Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protective protein found in the gastrointestinal tract. In injectable form, it is explored at Coastal MD™ for its potential role in supporting the body’s natural tissue repair processes — particularly in musculoskeletal injuries. Evidence comes primarily from animal and early human studies; larger clinical trials are ongoing.
Who tends to explore it
Patients with recent or diagnosed musculoskeletal injuries — sprains, strains, tendon or ligament damage, soft tissue injuries — who are looking for adjunct support alongside physical therapy or rehabilitation. BPC-157 tends to be most discussed for acute injuries. Chronic injuries involving significant scar tissue may respond differently, and that distinction is part of the conversation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area for targeted support. Imaging or a clear diagnosis of the injury is recommended before beginning. Tissue repair typically takes time — noticeable changes often develop over a one-to-three month period. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Generally well-tolerated. Injection site redness, bruising, mild nausea, headache, or dizziness are occasionally reported. Your provider will review your profile and monitoring plan.
BPC-157 (Oral)
Oral Formulation — Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
The oral formulation of BPC-157 is explored specifically for gastrointestinal healing. Absorbed through the digestive tract, it may support gut lining integrity, intestinal repair, and inflammation regulation within the GI system. It is a different application of the same peptide — and the distinction between oral and injectable is clinically meaningful.
Who tends to explore it
Patients managing diagnosed gastrointestinal conditions — including GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or NSAID-related GI injury — who are looking for adjunct support alongside dietary, lifestyle, or medical therapy. A medical evaluation is required to determine whether this is appropriate for your specific GI picture.
What the process looks like
Taken orally on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Some improvement in GI symptoms may be noticed within a few weeks for some patients; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Dietary modifications are recommended alongside therapy. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Mild nausea, GI upset, headache, and dizziness are occasionally reported. Oral administration is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will discuss what to monitor.
TB4 — Thymosin Beta-4
Systemic Tissue Repair & Cell Migration Support
What It Is
Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring peptide found throughout the body that plays a role in tissue repair, cell migration, and inflammation regulation. In compounded injectable form, TB4 is explored for both acute and chronic injury recovery. Its mechanism is distinct from BPC-157 — where BPC-157 focuses on angiogenesis and blood vessel formation, TB4 focuses on cell migration, which is essential for rebuilding tissue structure. Together, they may offer complementary support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries, surgery, or soft tissue damage — including those with chronic injuries or long-standing tissue damage that hasn’t responded well to other approaches. TB4 is also discussed for certain inflammatory conditions affecting joints and connective tissue. Some patients explore TB4 alongside BPC-157 for a more comprehensive recovery protocol; your provider will discuss whether combination makes sense for your situation. A medical evaluation determines appropriateness.
What the process looks like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area, or around the navel for a more systemic effect. Some improvements in pain and mobility may be noticed within a few weeks; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Results vary based on the nature and chronicity of the injury.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Injection site redness, bruising, mild fatigue, headache, dizziness, or transient GI upset are occasionally reported. TB4 is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will review your monitoring plan.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those investing in how they age from the inside out.
This category covers therapies explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of cellular energy, collagen support, skin health, and longevity — areas where science is advancing rapidly, and where the conversation between patient and provider matters more than any single therapy.
None of the therapies in this section are FDA-approved for the indications most patients explore them for. That context is part of every discussion we have.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide — Collagen Remodeling & Tissue Support
What It Is
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide whose levels decline with age. It acts as a signaling molecule that may encourage the body to support collagen production and tissue remodeling — in skin, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. At Coastal MD™, it is explored for both aesthetic and recovery applications: patients focused on skin quality and post-procedure healing, and those looking for connective tissue support alongside physical therapy.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
GHK-Cu supports collagen where the body needs it most. Depending on your goals, it may be explored for skin health, connective tissue recovery, or both.
In the Skin
GHK-Cu may help:
- Improve firmness and elasticity
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Enhance skin thickness
- Support healing after procedures such as microneedling or laser treatments
- Improve overall skin tone and texture
It encourages the production of strong, well-organized collagen — not simply more collagen.
In Tendons & Ligaments
These tissues are made mostly of Type I collagen, which provides strength and resilience. GHK-Cu may help:
- Support tendon and ligament repair
- Improve collagen fiber alignment
- Assist recovery after strain or injury
- Enhance tissue resilience over time
This is especially relevant when combined with physical therapy and proper nutrition.
A provider consultation determines fit, delivery method, and whether aesthetic or recovery goals — or both — are the focus.
What to Expect
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Most patients discuss outcomes over a four-to-eight week horizon, with continued development over several months. Consistency matters. Results vary based on individual profile, age, lifestyle, and other clinical factors reviewed during consultation.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated. Side effects are uncommon and depend on the delivery method discussed with your provider.
Your provider will review the full profile at consultation based on your individual situation and delivery method.
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — IV & Subcutaneous
What It Is
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential to mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, sirtuin longevity pathways, and the body’s response to cellular stress. Levels naturally decline with age, chronic stress, and metabolic dysfunction. At Coastal MD™, NAD+ is explored in the context of fatigue, brain fog, metabolic support, and longevity protocols — available both as a subcutaneous injection for ongoing maintenance and as an in-office IV infusion for more intensive, rapid-onset support. IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for faster onset; subcutaneous injection is slower and more gradual, well-suited for maintenance and long-term support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients experiencing chronic fatigue or brain fog, those on GLP-1 or weight management protocols who want metabolic energy support, individuals focused on longevity and cellular optimization, and patients in recovery from acute illness or high-stress states. Contraindications — including active malignancy and severe liver disease — are reviewed at the time of evaluation. NAD+ is not FDA-approved and is used within integrative, compounded frameworks.
What the process looks like
SubQ protocols typically start at a low dose and titrate up over several weeks. Some patients notice energy and clarity improvements within days; others over two to four weeks. IV protocols vary based on clinical goals. Results are individual and vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
SubQ: injection site irritation and mild flushing are occasionally reported. IV: flushing, nausea, and chest tightness may occur if infused too quickly — these are managed with careful infusion rate. Your provider will discuss the full side effect profile based on your chosen delivery method.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
The questions we hear most often — answered honestly.
How do I know which peptide is right for me?
You probably don’t — and that’s completely normal. That’s exactly what a consultation at Coastal MD™ is designed for. Your provider reviews your health history, labs, lifestyle, and goals before any option is recommended. We don’t have a default protocol, everything starts with a conversation.
Are these therapies safe?
At Coastal MD™, we take a transparent and individualized approach. We review the risk profile of every therapy in detail before making any recommendations, always taking each patient’s unique health history into account. Our goal is to ensure that nothing is minimized and nothing is overstated, so patients can make fully informed decisions.
Do these therapies really work?
Outcomes depend on several factors, including the specific therapy, the available clinical evidence, and the individual patient. It’s also important to recognize that results can be influenced by lifestyle factors, including proper nutrition, hydration, and a consistent exercise plan. Individual responses will vary.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the therapy and the individual. Metabolic therapies like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide typically show gradual appetite and weight changes over several months. GH-stimulating peptides often bring sleep and energy improvements earlier, with body composition changes taking longer. Recovery peptides like BPC-157 and TB4 typically show tissue changes over one to three months. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on your clinical picture at consultation.
Are these covered by insurance?
These therapies may have varying insurance coverage depending on your plan and indication. Compounded therapies are typically not covered. Our team is happy to discuss pricing and what to expect before your consultation.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. All therapy decisions — including stopping, adjusting, or changing course — are made in coordination with your Coastal MD™ provider. You are never locked in. The relationship is ongoing and responsive to how you’re feeling and what you want.
I'm not sure if I'm a candidate. Should I still book a consultation?
Yes. That’s exactly what it’s for. You don’t need to know if you qualify — your provider will determine that with you. Coming in curious and informed is the best possible starting point.
Not sure where or how to start?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.

That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those experiencing the effects of age-related hormonal decline.
Growth hormone naturally declines with age — and the changes that come with it are real: shifts in body composition, energy, sleep quality, recovery, and vitality. The peptides in this category work by supporting the body’s own growth hormone production rather than replacing it. That distinction matters both clinically and for how these therapies feel over time.
At Coastal MD™, growth hormone support is explored within a structured lifestyle framework. Exercise, nutrition, and consistency are not optional adjuncts — they are integral to how these therapies work.
Sermorelin
Growth Hormone–Releasing Peptide (GHRH)
What It Is
Sermorelin is a peptide that signals the pituitary gland to increase its own production of growth hormone — in a physiologic, pulsatile pattern that mirrors the body’s natural release. It does not replace growth hormone. It supports the body’s ability to produce more of its own.
What to Expect
- Early improvements in sleep quality and energy may be noticed within the first few weeks for some patients
- Body composition changes develop gradually over several months
- Maximum benefit may take up to six months of consistent therapy
- Resistance training significantly enhances outcomes — it is strongly recommended
- Lifestyle factors including nutrition and sleep quality influence individual response
- Individual results vary
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Mild injection site irritation or redness
- Flushing
- Headache
- Transient fatigue
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Sermorelin may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Experience age-related fatigue or reduced vitality
✔ Notice decreased lean muscle mass
✔ Struggle with increased body fat despite consistent effort
✔ Have poor sleep quality
✔ Want support for recovery and physical performance
✔ Are committed to exercise and lifestyle optimization
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
What the Process Looks Like
Sermorelin is injected subcutaneously before bed — when the body’s natural GH release is highest. Elevated insulin reduces GH output, so injecting on an empty stomach is recommended. Your Coastal MD™ provider will guide proper dosing, injection technique, and timing, and will follow your progress over the course of therapy.
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
Synergistic Dual-Pathway GH-Stimulating Peptides
What It Is
Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are combined because they work through different receptor pathways — CJC stimulates the GHRH receptor; Ipamorelin stimulates the ghrelin receptor. Together, they produce a more robust, physiologic growth hormone pulse than either would alone. This combination is explored at Coastal MD™ for patients seeking body recomposition, performance support, and recovery enhancement.
What to Expect
- Sleep and energy improvements are often reported within the first few weeks
- Body composition changes develop over three to six months
- Maximum benefit may take up to six months of consistent use
- High-intensity resistance training significantly enhances the benefit of this therapy
- Individual results vary based on lifestyle adherence, training intensity, and baseline hormone levels
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Mild injection site irritation
- Transient water retention
- Headache
- Mild fatigue
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Are physically active and committed to a structured training routine
✔ Experience age-related body composition changes such as increased fat or reduced muscle
✔ Have performance or recovery goals they want to support
✔ Are looking for a more robust GH-support protocol than a single peptide provides
✔ Want support for body recomposition alongside an established exercise program
✔ Are committed to consistent lifestyle habits including sleep, nutrition, and training
A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously before bed on an empty stomach — insulin in the system reduces GH release, making timing essential. Your Coastal MD™ provider will review proper injection technique, dosing frequency, and how to structure your nutrition and training alongside therapy to support the best individual response.
Tesamorelin
Stabilized GHRH Analog
What It Is
Tesamorelin is a stabilized growth hormone–releasing hormone analog for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It may also be explored off-label at Coastal MD™ under medical supervision for broader metabolic and body composition goals. Among GH-stimulating peptides, Tesamorelin has been evaluated in larger clinical trials than most, and it specifically targets visceral (deep abdominal) adipose tissue — a clinically meaningful distinction.
What to Expect
- Gradual reduction in visceral abdominal fat over time
- Body composition changes develop progressively over several months
- Consistent daily use is required for optimal benefit
- Structured exercise and nutrition are integral — not optional — to outcomes
- Individual results vary; lifestyle factors significantly influence response
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
Tesamorelin may be appropriate for individuals who:
✔ Have increased visceral or central abdominal fat accumulation
✔ Are managing metabolic dysfunction or body composition challenges
✔ Want body composition support grounded in a peptide with a clinical research history
✔ Are committed to structured exercise and nutrition alongside therapy

A medical evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Injection site irritation or redness
- Peripheral edema (fluid retention)
- Joint or muscle discomfort
- Headache
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously once daily. Your provider will walk you through the difference between approved and off-label use, what the evidence supports, and what that means for your individual situation. Nothing is assumed — everything is discussed before any decision is made.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those supporting their body's natural healing process.
The peptides in this category are explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of injury recovery, tissue repair, and musculoskeletal support. They are compounded and not FDA-approved — and we want you to understand what that means before we discuss anything further.
Compounded peptides are legal, customizable, and commonly used in integrative medicine. They are also subject to evolving regulatory guidance. At Coastal MD™, we discuss them honestly: what the evidence suggests, what it doesn’t yet confirm, and how your individual clinical picture factors into any recommendation. A diagnosed injury or condition — with imaging where appropriate — is typically required before we target a recovery protocol to a specific area.
BPC-157
Injectable — Musculoskeletal & Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protective protein found in the gastrointestinal tract. In injectable form, it is explored at Coastal MD™ for its potential role in supporting the body’s natural tissue repair processes — particularly in musculoskeletal injuries. Evidence comes primarily from animal and early human studies; larger clinical trials are ongoing.
Who tends to explore it
Patients with recent or diagnosed musculoskeletal injuries — sprains, strains, tendon or ligament damage, soft tissue injuries — who are looking for adjunct support alongside physical therapy or rehabilitation. BPC-157 tends to be most discussed for acute injuries. Chronic injuries involving significant scar tissue may respond differently, and that distinction is part of the conversation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area for targeted support. Imaging or a clear diagnosis of the injury is recommended before beginning. Tissue repair typically takes time — noticeable changes often develop over a one-to-three month period. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Generally well-tolerated. Injection site redness, bruising, mild nausea, headache, or dizziness are occasionally reported. Your provider will review your profile and monitoring plan.
BPC-157 (Oral)
Oral Formulation — Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
The oral formulation of BPC-157 is explored specifically for gastrointestinal healing. Absorbed through the digestive tract, it may support gut lining integrity, intestinal repair, and inflammation regulation within the GI system. It is a different application of the same peptide — and the distinction between oral and injectable is clinically meaningful.
Who tends to explore it
Patients managing diagnosed gastrointestinal conditions — including GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or NSAID-related GI injury — who are looking for adjunct support alongside dietary, lifestyle, or medical therapy. A medical evaluation is required to determine whether this is appropriate for your specific GI picture.
What the process looks like
Taken orally on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Some improvement in GI symptoms may be noticed within a few weeks for some patients; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Dietary modifications are recommended alongside therapy. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Mild nausea, GI upset, headache, and dizziness are occasionally reported. Oral administration is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will discuss what to monitor.
TB4 — Thymosin Beta-4
Systemic Tissue Repair & Cell Migration Support
What It Is
Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring peptide found throughout the body that plays a role in tissue repair, cell migration, and inflammation regulation. In compounded injectable form, TB4 is explored for both acute and chronic injury recovery. Its mechanism is distinct from BPC-157 — where BPC-157 focuses on angiogenesis and blood vessel formation, TB4 focuses on cell migration, which is essential for rebuilding tissue structure. Together, they may offer complementary support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries, surgery, or soft tissue damage — including those with chronic injuries or long-standing tissue damage that hasn’t responded well to other approaches. TB4 is also discussed for certain inflammatory conditions affecting joints and connective tissue. Some patients explore TB4 alongside BPC-157 for a more comprehensive recovery protocol; your provider will discuss whether combination makes sense for your situation. A medical evaluation determines appropriateness.
What the process looks like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area, or around the navel for a more systemic effect. Some improvements in pain and mobility may be noticed within a few weeks; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Results vary based on the nature and chronicity of the injury.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Injection site redness, bruising, mild fatigue, headache, dizziness, or transient GI upset are occasionally reported. TB4 is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will review your monitoring plan.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those investing in how they age from the inside out.
This category covers therapies explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of cellular energy, collagen support, skin health, and longevity — areas where science is advancing rapidly, and where the conversation between patient and provider matters more than any single therapy.
None of the therapies in this section are FDA-approved for the indications most patients explore them for. That context is part of every discussion we have.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide — Collagen Remodeling & Tissue Support
What It Is
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide whose levels decline with age. It acts as a signaling molecule that may encourage the body to support collagen production and tissue remodeling — in skin, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. At Coastal MD™, it is explored for both aesthetic and recovery applications: patients focused on skin quality and post-procedure healing, and those looking for connective tissue support alongside physical therapy.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
GHK-Cu supports collagen where the body needs it most. Depending on your goals, it may be explored for skin health, connective tissue recovery, or both.
In the Skin
GHK-Cu may help:
- Improve firmness and elasticity
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Enhance skin thickness
- Support healing after procedures such as microneedling or laser treatments
- Improve overall skin tone and texture
It encourages the production of strong, well-organized collagen — not simply more collagen.
In Tendons & Ligaments
These tissues are made mostly of Type I collagen, which provides strength and resilience. GHK-Cu may help:
- Support tendon and ligament repair
- Improve collagen fiber alignment
- Assist recovery after strain or injury
- Enhance tissue resilience over time
This is especially relevant when combined with physical therapy and proper nutrition.
A provider consultation determines fit, delivery method, and whether aesthetic or recovery goals — or both — are the focus.
What to Expect
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Most patients discuss outcomes over a four-to-eight week horizon, with continued development over several months. Consistency matters. Results vary based on individual profile, age, lifestyle, and other clinical factors reviewed during consultation.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated. Side effects are uncommon and depend on the delivery method discussed with your provider.
Your provider will review the full profile at consultation based on your individual situation and delivery method.
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — IV & Subcutaneous
What It Is
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential to mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, sirtuin longevity pathways, and the body’s response to cellular stress. Levels naturally decline with age, chronic stress, and metabolic dysfunction. At Coastal MD™, NAD+ is explored in the context of fatigue, brain fog, metabolic support, and longevity protocols — available both as a subcutaneous injection for ongoing maintenance and as an in-office IV infusion for more intensive, rapid-onset support. IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for faster onset; subcutaneous injection is slower and more gradual, well-suited for maintenance and long-term support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients experiencing chronic fatigue or brain fog, those on GLP-1 or weight management protocols who want metabolic energy support, individuals focused on longevity and cellular optimization, and patients in recovery from acute illness or high-stress states. Contraindications — including active malignancy and severe liver disease — are reviewed at the time of evaluation. NAD+ is not FDA-approved and is used within integrative, compounded frameworks.
What the process looks like
SubQ protocols typically start at a low dose and titrate up over several weeks. Some patients notice energy and clarity improvements within days; others over two to four weeks. IV protocols vary based on clinical goals. Results are individual and vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
SubQ: injection site irritation and mild flushing are occasionally reported. IV: flushing, nausea, and chest tightness may occur if infused too quickly — these are managed with careful infusion rate. Your provider will discuss the full side effect profile based on your chosen delivery method.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
The questions we hear most often — answered honestly.
How do I know which peptide is right for me?
You probably don’t — and that’s completely normal. That’s exactly what a consultation at Coastal MD™ is designed for. Your provider reviews your health history, labs, lifestyle, and goals before any option is recommended. We don’t have a default protocol, everything starts with a conversation.
Are these therapies safe?
At Coastal MD™, we take a transparent and individualized approach. We review the risk profile of every therapy in detail before making any recommendations, always taking each patient’s unique health history into account. Our goal is to ensure that nothing is minimized and nothing is overstated, so patients can make fully informed decisions.
Do these therapies really work?
Outcomes depend on several factors, including the specific therapy, the available clinical evidence, and the individual patient. It’s also important to recognize that results can be influenced by lifestyle factors, including proper nutrition, hydration, and a consistent exercise plan. Individual responses will vary.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the therapy and the individual. Metabolic therapies like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide typically show gradual appetite and weight changes over several months. GH-stimulating peptides often bring sleep and energy improvements earlier, with body composition changes taking longer. Recovery peptides like BPC-157 and TB4 typically show tissue changes over one to three months. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on your clinical picture at consultation.
Are these covered by insurance?
These therapies may have varying insurance coverage depending on your plan and indication. Compounded therapies are typically not covered. Our team is happy to discuss pricing and what to expect before your consultation.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. All therapy decisions — including stopping, adjusting, or changing course — are made in coordination with your Coastal MD™ provider. You are never locked in. The relationship is ongoing and responsive to how you’re feeling and what you want.
I'm not sure if I'm a candidate. Should I still book a consultation?
Yes. That’s exactly what it’s for. You don’t need to know if you qualify — your provider will determine that with you. Coming in curious and informed is the best possible starting point.
Not sure where or how to start?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.

Education Before Everything
You'll understand every option before any decision is made
We don't sell peptides.
We guide people to the right ones.
Peptide therapy is one of the most discussed areas in integrative medicine right now — and one of the most misunderstood. The options vary widely. So does the evidence. So does who each therapy is actually appropriate for.
At Coastal MD™, we believe the most valuable thing we can offer isn’t a list of treatments — it’s clarity. This page walks you through the categories of peptide therapy we offer, what each one is, who tends to explore it, and what the clinical process looks like at our practice.
If something resonates, the next step is a consultation. That’s where the real conversation starts.
Three things are true of every therapy we discuss...
01
We start with education, not enthusiasm.
Before any therapy is recommended, we explain what it is, what the current evidence supports, and what its regulatory status means for you. You’ll always know what you’re considering and why.
02
We build plans around individuals, not protocols.
Your health history, labs, goals, and lifestyle all inform what we discuss. Results vary by person — and that’s not a disclaimer, it’s the clinical reality we take seriously.
03
We supervise the entire process.
Every therapy at Coastal MD™ is initiated and monitored by a licensed provider. Dosing, timing, and adjustments are calibrated as you go — not set and forgotten.
Explore Your Options Based on Your Goal
For those navigating appetite, metabolism, and long-term weight management.
GLP-1 and multi-receptor peptide therapies have reshaped how integrative medicine approaches weight management.
At Coastal MD™, these therapies are discussed as part of a comprehensive plan — one that includes personalized nutrition guidance, movement, and ongoing provider support. The medication is one piece. The relationship with your provider is the other.
A medical evaluation is required to determine whether any of these options is appropriate for you.
Semaglutide
Triple Receptor Agonist (GLP-1, GIP & Glucagon)
What It Is
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — a medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar management. It is FDA-approved for weight management and for certain metabolic conditions, making it one of the most established options we discuss in this category.
How It Works
Semaglutide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)

Tirzepatide
Dual GIP & GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
What It Is
Tirzepatide activates two distinct hormone receptors — GLP-1 and GIP — involved in appetite regulation, insulin response, and energy balance. FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management, it represents a dual-pathway approach to metabolic support. At Coastal MD™, it’s explored with patients whose clinical picture suggests a single-receptor approach may not fully address their needs.
How It Works
Tirzepatide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)
✔ Improving blood sugar regulation
✔ Supporting insulin sensitivity
✔ Slowing gastric emptying for more sustained satiety

At Coastal MD™, your provider will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for nutrition, hydration, and exercise that fits your lifestyle and individual health needs. We are here to guide you, answer questions, and help you stay on track. Think of us as your biggest motivator and partner in achieving your health, weight, and recovery goals.
Retatrutide
Triple Receptor Agonist (GLP-1, GIP & Glucagon)
What It Is
Retatrutide is a triple receptor agonist — it activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon pathways — representing a broader metabolic approach than single or dual-receptor therapies. It is currently investigational and undergoing clinical trials. It is not yet FDA-approved for general use. At Coastal MD™, Retatrutide is discussed selectively with patients who have been carefully evaluated and have not achieved sufficient results with established options.
How It Works
Retatrutide supports metabolic health by:
✔ Reducing appetite and food cravings
✔ Increasing feelings of fullness (satiety)
✔ Improving blood sugar regulation
✔ Supporting insulin sensitivity

Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
- Injection site irritation or redness
- Peripheral edema (fluid retention)
- Joint or muscle discomfort
- Headache
Your provider will review your individual risk profile and monitoring plan at consultation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously once daily. Your provider will walk you through the difference between approved and off-label use, what the evidence supports, and what that means for your individual situation. Nothing is assumed — everything is discussed before any decision is made.
Not sure which option fits your situation?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
For those supporting their body's natural healing process.
The peptides in this category are explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of injury recovery, tissue repair, and musculoskeletal support. They are compounded and not FDA-approved — and we want you to understand what that means before we discuss anything further.
Compounded peptides are legal, customizable, and commonly used in integrative medicine. They are also subject to evolving regulatory guidance. At Coastal MD™, we discuss them honestly: what the evidence suggests, what it doesn’t yet confirm, and how your individual clinical picture factors into any recommendation. A diagnosed injury or condition — with imaging where appropriate — is typically required before we target a recovery protocol to a specific area.
BPC-157
Injectable — Musculoskeletal & Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protective protein found in the gastrointestinal tract. In injectable form, it is explored at Coastal MD™ for its potential role in supporting the body’s natural tissue repair processes — particularly in musculoskeletal injuries. Evidence comes primarily from animal and early human studies; larger clinical trials are ongoing.
Who tends to explore it
Patients with recent or diagnosed musculoskeletal injuries — sprains, strains, tendon or ligament damage, soft tissue injuries — who are looking for adjunct support alongside physical therapy or rehabilitation. BPC-157 tends to be most discussed for acute injuries. Chronic injuries involving significant scar tissue may respond differently, and that distinction is part of the conversation.
What the Process Looks Like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area for targeted support. Imaging or a clear diagnosis of the injury is recommended before beginning. Tissue repair typically takes time — noticeable changes often develop over a one-to-three month period. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Generally well-tolerated. Injection site redness, bruising, mild nausea, headache, or dizziness are occasionally reported. Your provider will review your profile and monitoring plan.
BPC-157 (Oral)
Oral Formulation — Gastrointestinal Support
What It Is
The oral formulation of BPC-157 is explored specifically for gastrointestinal healing. Absorbed through the digestive tract, it may support gut lining integrity, intestinal repair, and inflammation regulation within the GI system. It is a different application of the same peptide — and the distinction between oral and injectable is clinically meaningful.
Who tends to explore it
Patients managing diagnosed gastrointestinal conditions — including GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or NSAID-related GI injury — who are looking for adjunct support alongside dietary, lifestyle, or medical therapy. A medical evaluation is required to determine whether this is appropriate for your specific GI picture.
What the process looks like
Taken orally on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Some improvement in GI symptoms may be noticed within a few weeks for some patients; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Dietary modifications are recommended alongside therapy. Individual results vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Mild nausea, GI upset, headache, and dizziness are occasionally reported. Oral administration is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will discuss what to monitor.
TB4 — Thymosin Beta-4
Systemic Tissue Repair & Cell Migration Support
What It Is
Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring peptide found throughout the body that plays a role in tissue repair, cell migration, and inflammation regulation. In compounded injectable form, TB4 is explored for both acute and chronic injury recovery. Its mechanism is distinct from BPC-157 — where BPC-157 focuses on angiogenesis and blood vessel formation, TB4 focuses on cell migration, which is essential for rebuilding tissue structure. Together, they may offer complementary support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries, surgery, or soft tissue damage — including those with chronic injuries or long-standing tissue damage that hasn’t responded well to other approaches. TB4 is also discussed for certain inflammatory conditions affecting joints and connective tissue. Some patients explore TB4 alongside BPC-157 for a more comprehensive recovery protocol; your provider will discuss whether combination makes sense for your situation. A medical evaluation determines appropriateness.
What the process looks like
Injected subcutaneously near the affected area, or around the navel for a more systemic effect. Some improvements in pain and mobility may be noticed within a few weeks; tissue repair typically develops over one to three months. Results vary based on the nature and chronicity of the injury.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
Injection site redness, bruising, mild fatigue, headache, dizziness, or transient GI upset are occasionally reported. TB4 is generally well-tolerated. Your provider will review your monitoring plan.

For those investing in how they age from the inside out.
This category covers therapies explored at Coastal MD™ in the context of cellular energy, collagen support, skin health, and longevity — areas where science is advancing rapidly, and where the conversation between patient and provider matters more than any single therapy.
None of the therapies in this section are FDA-approved for the indications most patients explore them for. That context is part of every discussion we have.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide — Collagen Remodeling & Tissue Support
What It Is
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide whose levels decline with age. It acts as a signaling molecule that may encourage the body to support collagen production and tissue remodeling — in skin, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. At Coastal MD™, it is explored for both aesthetic and recovery applications: patients focused on skin quality and post-procedure healing, and those looking for connective tissue support alongside physical therapy.
Who Should Consider This Peptide?
GHK-Cu supports collagen where the body needs it most. Depending on your goals, it may be explored for skin health, connective tissue recovery, or both.
In the Skin
GHK-Cu may help:
- Improve firmness and elasticity
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Enhance skin thickness
- Support healing after procedures such as microneedling or laser treatments
- Improve overall skin tone and texture
It encourages the production of strong, well-organized collagen — not simply more collagen.
In Tendons & Ligaments
These tissues are made mostly of Type I collagen, which provides strength and resilience. GHK-Cu may help:
- Support tendon and ligament repair
- Improve collagen fiber alignment
- Assist recovery after strain or injury
- Enhance tissue resilience over time
This is especially relevant when combined with physical therapy and proper nutrition.
A provider consultation determines fit, delivery method, and whether aesthetic or recovery goals — or both — are the focus.
What to Expect
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Most patients discuss outcomes over a four-to-eight week horizon, with continued development over several months. Consistency matters. Results vary based on individual profile, age, lifestyle, and other clinical factors reviewed during consultation.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated. Side effects are uncommon and depend on the delivery method discussed with your provider.
Your provider will review the full profile at consultation based on your individual situation and delivery method.
NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — IV & Subcutaneous
What It Is
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential to mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, sirtuin longevity pathways, and the body’s response to cellular stress. Levels naturally decline with age, chronic stress, and metabolic dysfunction. At Coastal MD™, NAD+ is explored in the context of fatigue, brain fog, metabolic support, and longevity protocols — available both as a subcutaneous injection for ongoing maintenance and as an in-office IV infusion for more intensive, rapid-onset support. IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for faster onset; subcutaneous injection is slower and more gradual, well-suited for maintenance and long-term support.
Who tends to explore it
Patients experiencing chronic fatigue or brain fog, those on GLP-1 or weight management protocols who want metabolic energy support, individuals focused on longevity and cellular optimization, and patients in recovery from acute illness or high-stress states. Contraindications — including active malignancy and severe liver disease — are reviewed at the time of evaluation. NAD+ is not FDA-approved and is used within integrative, compounded frameworks.
What the process looks like
SubQ protocols typically start at a low dose and titrate up over several weeks. Some patients notice energy and clarity improvements within days; others over two to four weeks. IV protocols vary based on clinical goals. Results are individual and vary.
Common side effects (typically mild to moderate) may include:
SubQ: injection site irritation and mild flushing are occasionally reported. IV: flushing, nausea, and chest tightness may occur if infused too quickly — these are managed with careful infusion rate. Your provider will discuss the full side effect profile based on your chosen delivery method.

The questions we hear most often — answered honestly.
How do I know which peptide is right for me?
You probably don’t — and that’s completely normal. That’s exactly what a consultation at Coastal MD™ is designed for. Your provider reviews your health history, labs, lifestyle, and goals before any option is recommended. We don’t have a default protocol, everything starts with a conversation.
Are these therapies safe?
At Coastal MD™, we take a transparent and individualized approach. We review the risk profile of every therapy in detail before making any recommendations, always taking each patient’s unique health history into account. Our goal is to ensure that nothing is minimized and nothing is overstated, so patients can make fully informed decisions.
Do these therapies really work?
Outcomes depend on several factors, including the specific therapy, the available clinical evidence, and the individual patient. It’s also important to recognize that results can be influenced by lifestyle factors, including proper nutrition, hydration, and a consistent exercise plan. Individual responses will vary.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the therapy and the individual. Metabolic therapies like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide typically show gradual appetite and weight changes over several months. GH-stimulating peptides often bring sleep and energy improvements earlier, with body composition changes taking longer. Recovery peptides like BPC-157 and TB4 typically show tissue changes over one to three months. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on your clinical picture at consultation.
Are these covered by insurance?
These therapies may have varying insurance coverage depending on your plan and indication. Compounded therapies are typically not covered. Our team is happy to discuss pricing and what to expect before your consultation.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. All therapy decisions — including stopping, adjusting, or changing course — are made in coordination with your Coastal MD™ provider. You are never locked in. The relationship is ongoing and responsive to how you’re feeling and what you want.
I'm not sure if I'm a candidate. Should I still book a consultation?
Yes. That’s exactly what it’s for. You don’t need to know if you qualify — your provider will determine that with you. Coming in curious and informed is the best possible starting point.
Not sure where or how to start?
That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our providers review your full health picture before making any recommendations — and you’ll never feel pressured to move forward before you’re ready.
