Five rules
before
you start.
The fastest way to spend twenty thousand dollars on supplements that don’t move a single marker is to skip these five rules.
Compiled from every patient who told us what they wished they’d known on day one.
READ THE FULL GUIDE→- 01RULE Nº 01 / 05LAB WORK
Baseline labs first.
Don't pick a modality until you've seen a full hormone + metabolic panel. $280–$695 cash gets you 90+ markers; everything else is shooting in the dark.
- 02RULE Nº 02 / 05VARIABLE CONTROL
Pick one variable.
Stack peptides + TRT + NAD+ on day one and you'll never know what's working. Add modalities 6–12 weeks apart so your labs tell the truth.
- 03RULE Nº 03 / 05SOURCING
Demand compounded.
For hormones, peptides, and GLP-1s, a 503B outsourcing pharmacy version is traceable, prescription-legal, and 60–80% cheaper than brand.
- 04RULE Nº 04 / 05CADENCE
Quarterly check-ins.
Once you're dialed in, monthly visits are upselling. The standard of care for a stable protocol is labs + telehealth every 90 days.
- 05RULE Nº 05 / 05CAPEX vs OPEX
Buy the gear, skip the clinic.
Red light, cold plunge, sauna, even at-home NAD+ subcutaneous — for any modality you use weekly, owning beats subscribing inside 6 months.
What everyone asks first.
Some TRT, HRT, and GLP-1s will be covered if your labs / BMI meet criteria — but the cash-pay price through the clinics we list is often cheaper than your copay. Peptides, stem cells, NAD, HBOT, rapamycin, and most of the recovery modalities are cash-only. We’ll note where insurance is realistic on each detail page.
