Module II · Advanced

From pharmacology to protocol — case by case.

Module II picks up where the foundations end. Over three days of case-based instruction, faculty move from peptide pharmacology to the decisions clinicians actually make in practice: which agent, at what dose, for which patient, supported by which lab markers — and what can legally be sourced and prescribed right now.

  • Regenerative
  • Aesthetic
  • Metabolic
  • Neurocognitive
  • Longevity

The curriculum spans five clinical domains and nine peptide categories, with a dedicated focus on the compounding and regulatory changes that have reshaped peptide practice. You will leave with protocol frameworks, monitoring parameters, documented cases, and a clear-eyed view of where the evidence is strong, where it is thin, and where the rules are still being written.

Regulatory focus: current through 2027

Key focus areas

01

Regulatory & Sourcing Fluency

The FDA compounding landscape changed materially in 2026 and continues to move.

02

Clinical Protocol Design

Dose selection, cycling, stacking rationale, duration, and de-prescribing — built around patient phenotype rather than a fixed list.

03

Baseline & Monitoring Laboratory Strategy

Which markers establish candidacy, which track response, and which trigger you to stop.

04

Regenerative & Longevity Applications

Tissue repair, cellular senescence, biological-age markers, and the combination of peptides with PRP and other orthobiologics.

05

Metabolic & Body Composition Medicine

GLP-1 and multi-agonist therapy, the current oral options, muscle preservation, and where peptides fit alongside approved pharmacotherapy.

06

Aesthetic, Dermatologic & Neurocognitive Application

Skin, hair and facial protocols, and peptide strategies in cognition and CNS support.

Why Now

Why Module II in 2027

The rules changed. The curriculum changed with them.

Peptide practice in 2027 does not look like peptide practice in 2023. Substances that were blocked from compounding have been moved off the restricted list. Others have been recommended for approved compounding but cannot be dispensed until rulemaking is final. A further group — including LL-37, GHK-Cu, dihexa and melanotan II — goes before the advisory committee by the end of February 2027, days before this module convenes. Meanwhile the GLP-1 category has produced new approvals, new oral options, and an active enforcement posture — FDA posted warning letters to online peptide sellers as recently as September 2026.

Module II is built to leave you current, not merely informed:

01

Which peptides FDA allows to be compounded today, and which it does not

02

How to document medical necessity and sourcing in the patient record

03

What to tell a patient who arrives with a research-chemical vial

04

How to describe peptide therapy in your own marketing without inviting a warning letter

05

Where the pending federal decisions are likely to land, and how to prepare for either outcome

Select baseline and follow-up laboratory markers appropriate to a proposed peptide protocol.
Construct a peptide protocol for a defined patient phenotype, including dose, duration, monitoring interval and stopping criteria.
Evaluate the strength of evidence supporting a given peptide indication and distinguish human-trial-supported uses from preclinical or anecdotal ones.
Integrate peptide therapy with approved pharmacotherapy in metabolic and body-composition care.
Apply informed-consent and documentation practices appropriate to off-label and compounded therapy.
