Physician-Authored Protocols

Your research, your biology,
your protocol

Generic peptide information will take you only so far. A protocol built around your labs, your goals, and your health history—reviewed and authored by a physician—is a different category of resource entirely.

Why Generic Information Isn't Enough

The peptide research space is full of information—forums, YouTube channels, bro-science guides with confident dosing tables. Almost none of it accounts for the variables that actually determine whether a given compound is appropriate for a specific person: their IGF-1 baseline, their GH pulse characteristics, their metabolic panel, their health history, their current medications, their goals.

A 52-year-old woman with an IGF-1 of 88 ng/mL and a history of PCOS has an entirely different risk-benefit calculus for GH secretagogues than a 38-year-old man with an IGF-1 of 180 ng/mL and well-controlled metabolics. Generic protocols treat them identically. A physician-guided assessment doesn't.


How the Protocol Process Works

1
Step One

Intake & Goal Mapping

A structured intake form collects your health history, current medications and supplements, prior lab work, primary optimization goals, and any specific concerns. This isn't a generic intake—the questions are designed to identify the information that actually changes protocol recommendations.

Health history Current medications Prior labs (if available) Goal prioritization Cancer history screen Sleep & metabolic status

Step Two

Lab Panel Recommendation

Based on your goals and intake, a recommended lab panel is provided—what to order before starting any protocol and what to monitor afterward. The panel varies by goal: GH secretagogue protocols require IGF-1 and metabolic markers; body composition protocols add DEXA context; longevity-focused protocols add telomere markers and inflammatory panels.

Step Three

Physician Review & Protocol Authoring

Dr. DelBoccio reviews your intake and any available lab values and authors a personalized protocol document. This isn't a template populated with your name—it's a clinical document that addresses your specific profile, flags any contraindications or concerns, and provides context for every recommendation made.

Step Four

Protocol Delivery & Follow-Up

Your protocol document is delivered as a comprehensive PDF covering compound rationale, dosing schedule, administration notes, monitoring timeline, and adjustment criteria. A follow-up check-in at 8–12 weeks reviews lab response and allows protocol refinement based on actual outcomes rather than theory.

What the Protocol Document Includes

🎯

Goal Prioritization Framework

When multiple goals exist—energy, body composition, recovery, longevity—the protocol explains how they're ranked, which compounds address more than one goal, and how sequencing decisions were made.

⚗️

Compound Rationale

For each compound recommended, the clinical reasoning: why this compound for this patient's profile, what evidence supports its use for this goal, what alternatives were considered and why they ranked lower.

📅

Administration Schedule

Timing, dosing, frequency, cycling recommendations, and practical administration notes (injection technique, storage, reconstitution for peptides requiring it).

⚠️

Contraindication Review

Explicit documentation of any health history factors that modify recommendations, compounds to avoid, and the reasoning behind each restriction based on your specific profile.

📊

Monitoring Parameters

What labs to run, when to run them, and what values should prompt protocol adjustment or cessation. Specific thresholds, not vague guidance.

📈

Outcome Expectations

Realistic timelines for each type of effect, what to track subjectively, when the absence of effect suggests a protocol problem versus normal lag time.


Protocols Are Built Around Your Primary Goals

Different optimization goals require different compound selections, monitoring parameters, and timelines. The intake maps your goal hierarchy—primary, secondary, and what you'd specifically like to avoid—and the protocol reflects that prioritization.

🩹

Healing & Recovery

Acute injury, tendon repair, post-procedure recovery, chronic inflammation

Longevity & Aging

Epigenetic markers, telomere biology, mitochondrial aging, cellular senescence

🌙

Sleep Quality

Deep sleep architecture, circadian normalization, GH-sleep coupling, sleep anxiety

💪

Muscle & Strength

Body composition, training density, recovery acceleration, lean mass preservation

⚖️

Body Composition

Fat loss, GLP-1 axis, visceral adipose, metabolic recomposition

Energy & Vitality

Mitochondrial efficiency, GH-mediated metabolism, cognitive stamina, fatigue

🧠

Cognitive Performance

Focus, memory consolidation, neuroprotection, BDNF, myelination

Common Questions

"I already have a doctor—why do I need this?"
Most physicians don't have expertise in research peptides. This isn't a criticism—peptides aren't part of most medical training and the field moves faster than CME keeps up with. A protocol from a physician who has spent extensive time in this literature is a different resource than a well-meaning general practitioner saying "I've heard of that but don't know much."
"Can't I just follow a Reddit protocol?"
You can, and many people do. The question is what you're missing: a contraindication screen (cancer history + GH secretagogues is a serious interaction), baseline labs that catch problems before they become problems, and honest assessment of whether your stated goals match what the evidence supports for compounds you're considering. Reddit gets the compound names right more often than not; it rarely gets the individual risk assessment right.
"Is this a prescription service?"
No—this is an educational and research guidance service. The protocol document is a physician-authored research guidance document, not a prescription. It discusses research compounds in a research context. If prescription compounds (sermorelin, tesamorelin) are appropriate for your situation, the protocol will note that and recommend working with a prescribing physician for that pathway specifically.
"How is this different from a clinic that prescribes peptides?"
Clinics that prescribe compounded peptides are constrained by what they can legally compound under current FDA guidance—and that landscape shifted significantly in 2024. Many compounds people research (BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, Epithalon) can't be compounded for prescription. This service covers the full research compound landscape, not only the prescription subset.

Physician-Founder · PeptideReport.ai

PeptideReport.ai was built because the information gap in physician-authored peptide research content is significant. The field has substantial research—much of it compelling—but the translation layer between peer-reviewed literature and practical application for individual patients is almost entirely absent from credible medical sources. This service is an attempt to address that gap: physician-authored content, anchored in the actual evidence, with honest acknowledgment of where that evidence is strong versus where it's preliminary.
