Six Questions
How to tell a peptide clinic from a peptide seller.
Ask these of any clinic, including this one. The answers are what you are actually buying.
1. Who, by name, directs the protocol?
A page that says "our team" or "licensed medical supervision" without a name is telling you something. Here: Dr. Christopher Cheshire, MS, AP, LAc, DOM, with a biochemistry background, selects and directs every protocol, and Dr. Thomas Phipps, MD, provides medical oversight, in the same building.
2. Will they tell you the evidence is thin?
For BPC-157 the research is almost entirely animal work, largely rats, with human trials scarce and no FDA approval. For CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin, human studies show it raises growth hormone pulses, without outcome trials on recovery. A clinic that lists autoimmune disease and dementia among the conditions it treats with peptides is not reading the same literature. We say what is known before you start.
3. Is it a protocol or a membership?
A peptide cycle has a start, a checkpoint and an end, and should be priced as one. A monthly membership has no end by design. Here each protocol is priced as a whole, in writing, before you start, with a reassessment at the end that decides whether there is a second cycle.
4. How many peptides are they selling you?
Most patients need one or two for a specific goal. A "stack" of four or five is more expensive, impossible to judge, and a sign the clinic is selling product rather than solving a problem. We will not add a second peptide until the first has had its checkpoint.
5. Who do they turn away?
Active cancer, pregnancy and breastfeeding, some histories and medication combinations rule peptides out. A clinic with no exclusions has no screen. Ours is the first part of the consultation, and it sometimes ends with a referral instead of a protocol.
6. What else do they have?
A repair peptide is a signal; a stalled tendon also needs a stimulus. A clinic that offers peptides alone cannot pair them with shockwave or laser on the tissue, cannot tell you when the answer is NAD+ rather than a peptide, and cannot examine the injury. We can, and we do, which is the honest reason to choose an integrative clinic over a peptide shop.
What We Do Here
Specific peptide, specific dose, someone checking.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals, telling specific systems to repair tissue, recover faster or settle. Used well they are a precise tool for injuries that will not finish healing, recovery that has slowed with age, sleep, energy and healthy aging. Protocols here are sourced for clinical use, dosed to your weight, goal and history, run at home as a small subcutaneous injection in cycles of six to twelve weeks, and judged at weeks three to six and six to twelve. Then continue, cycle off, or done because the problem resolved, or stop because it did not. Full peptide therapy page.

A written protocol
One or two peptides, dose, schedule, cycle length, full cost, and the evidence as above. Technique shown at one visit.
At home
With us a phone call away, and shockwave or laser on the tissue where a repair protocol calls for it. Two therapies per drive from Spruce Creek.
Checkpoint and reassessment
Weeks three to six, then six to twelve. Continue, cycle off, or stop. Nothing renews on its own.
Cost and Insurance
How much does peptide therapy cost for Del Webb Spruce Creek patients, and what does insurance cover?
Priced per protocol
The peptide and the cycle length set the price, quoted as a whole in writing before you start. No membership, no travel surcharge.
Insurance and Medicare
Peptide therapy is self pay; we do not bill insurance for it and Medicare does not cover it Source: CMS National Coverage Determination 30.3.3. Acupuncture visits in the same plan are covered by many plans.

Is This You, Spruce Creek?
A good fit when:
- A tendon, ligament or muscle has been sore for months, or recovery has slowed with age.
- You have read several clinic pages and want the six questions answered.
- You want a named clinician and an MD in the building.
- You want a protocol with an end, not a membership.
- You want to be told when the answer is not a peptide.
Not for everyone. Active cancer, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some medical histories or medication combinations rule peptides out. The consultation and history review come first.
