Physician-prescribed peptide protocols at medAge, supervised by Dr. Sarah Long, DNP. Built around your clinical picture, your labs, and your goals. Not a menu. A conversation.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same type of signaling molecules your body produces naturally to coordinate everything from tissue repair and immune response to metabolism and sleep regulation. As we age, peptide production and signaling efficiency decline. That decline contributes to changes in body composition, recovery capacity, energy, sleep quality, and other markers that patients often describe as "just getting older."
Peptide therapy, when appropriate and physician-supervised, uses targeted protocols to support specific biological processes. The protocols are highly individualized — what may be appropriate for one patient's clinical picture may be entirely different from another's. That's why we don't describe specific peptides, dosages, or protocols on this page. Those details belong in a clinical conversation, not a website.
At medAge, peptide therapy is available as part of a comprehensive longevity and wellness consultation with Dr. Sarah Long, DNP. Every protocol begins with labs and a complete clinical assessment.
We do not prescribe peptides without clinical context. We do not offer "peptide packages" off a menu. We do not source from unverified compounding pharmacies. Peptide therapy at medAge is physician-supervised, lab-informed, and integrated into your broader wellness plan. If that sounds like how you want to approach it, we'd like to meet you.
Peptide therapy is most effective when it's integrated into a broader clinical plan — not used in isolation. These are the areas most commonly addressed in consultation with Dr. Long.
Peptides associated with muscle preservation, fat metabolism, and body composition optimization — often integrated with medical weight loss or Foundation: Performance protocols and InBody body composition tracking.
Peptides studied for tissue repair, joint health, and recovery acceleration — frequently discussed alongside active patients, athletes, and Foundation: Performance members working with Dr. Frakes.
Peptides associated with sleep architecture improvement and cognitive performance — addressed as part of a comprehensive longevity medicine assessment that includes hormone panels and lifestyle factors.
Peptide protocols are often most effective when coordinated with hormone optimization. Dr. Long evaluates both concurrently as part of a whole-patient longevity plan rather than treating them as separate categories.
Certain peptides have been studied for immune modulation and systemic inflammation — relevant for patients managing chronic inflammation or looking to support long-term resilience.
Some patients integrate peptide protocols alongside aesthetic treatments at medAge — recognizing that skin quality from the inside and outside respond to some of the same biological pathways.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive clinical conversation. Dr. Long reviews your health history, your current symptoms, your goals, and your lifestyle. This context shapes everything that follows. Book with the button below — a $75 deposit applies toward your visit.
Peptide therapy is not prescribed without baseline labs. We evaluate hormone panels, metabolic markers, inflammatory markers, and other relevant data to understand your clinical picture before making any recommendations.
If peptide therapy is appropriate for your situation, Dr. Long designs a protocol specific to your labs, your goals, and your current health picture. She explains the rationale, the expected timeline, and how the protocol integrates with anything else you're doing at medAge.
Peptide protocols are not set-and-forget. We monitor your progress, adjust based on your response, and re-evaluate periodically. This is physician-supervised care — not a subscription box.
Peptide therapy isn't appropriate for everyone, and we won't recommend it until we know your clinical picture. But these are the patient profiles where it most often comes up in conversation:
Patients already working with Dr. Long on hormone optimization who want to extend their longevity protocol
Active patients — athletes, recreational exercisers — focused on recovery speed and body composition
Foundation: Performance and Longevity members building comprehensive health plans with Dr. Long and Dr. Frakes
Patients managing medically-supervised weight loss who want to prioritize muscle preservation alongside fat loss
Patients experiencing declining sleep quality, energy, or cognitive sharpness who want a clinical explanation — not a supplement stack
Patients who have researched peptide therapy independently and want to pursue it with real physician oversight
Many patients who consult on peptide therapy at medAge are also interested in the Foundation membership model — a structured, physician-supervised longevity program led by Dr. Sarah Long. Foundation: Performance and Foundation: Longevity both integrate peptide protocols as appropriate components of a comprehensive plan. If you're considering peptide therapy, it's worth asking about Foundation at your consultation.
