Peptide & Cellular Wellness Support
in Charlottesville, VA
in Charlottesville, VA
Our peptide and cellular wellness protocols are designed to support energy, recovery, metabolism, cognitive performance, sleep, tissue health, and healthy aging. Each protocol is personalized based on goals, health history, and physician guidance.
At Longevity Health Clinic, peptide and cellular wellness is not one-size-fits-all. Jason Itri, MD, PhD, FMCP-M works with each patient to identify the right options based on lab work, individual health history, and long-term wellness objectives.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same building blocks that make up proteins. In the body, peptides function as signaling molecules, helping cells communicate and regulate specific physiological processes.
In physician-guided wellness protocols, select peptides and cellular compounds are used to support targeted pathways, including mitochondrial function, tissue recovery, cognitive resilience, metabolic health, sleep regulation, and healthy aging biology.
Peptide protocols are used in wellness contexts to support how the body functions, recovers, and adapts: not to treat, cure, prevent, or reverse any disease or medical condition. All protocols at Longevity Health Clinic are physician-guided and personalized based on individual goals, health history, lab data, and clinical response.
Below are the peptide and cellular wellness compounds currently available through our physician-guided protocols. Each is selected and personalized based on your goals, health history, lab work, and individual response. These compounds are used in wellness protocols to support specific cellular and physiological pathways: not to treat, cure, prevent, or reverse any disease or medical condition.
A mitochondrial-support peptide that helps support cellular energy production, metabolic flexibility, exercise resilience, and healthy aging pathways. MOTS-c is derived from mitochondrial DNA and is used in wellness protocols focused on energy metabolism and longevity biology.
Best for: Energy, metabolism, endurance, mitochondrial support, healthy aging.
A peptide commonly used in wellness protocols to support tissue repair, musculoskeletal recovery, gut-barrier support, and overall healing resilience. BPC-157 may help support the body's natural recovery and repair processes across multiple tissue types.
Best for: Recovery, tissue support, gut-barrier health, musculoskeletal wellness.
A metabolic and mitochondrial-support compound that helps promote exercise-mimetic pathways, energy expenditure, endurance signaling, and metabolic health. Used in protocols targeting metabolic optimization and endurance biology.
Best for: Metabolic support, endurance signaling, energy expenditure, exercise-mimetic support.
A longevity-focused peptide that supports healthy circadian rhythm regulation, cellular repair pathways, and telomere/telomerase-related aging biology. Used in protocols focused on healthy aging, cellular maintenance, and longevity support.
Best for: Healthy aging, circadian rhythm, cellular repair, longevity support.
A cognitive-support peptide that may help with focus, mental clarity, motivation, neurocognitive resilience, and stress-related cognitive performance. Used in wellness protocols targeting cognitive function and mental performance.
Best for: Focus, clarity, motivation, cognitive resilience.
A peptide used for calm focus and cognitive resilience, with potential benefits for stress modulation, emotional balance, mental clarity, and anxious overactivation. Used in protocols targeting stress resilience and cognitive steadiness.
Best for: Calm focus, emotional balance, stress resilience, mental clarity.
A sleep-support peptide that may help promote relaxation, sleep quality, sleep onset, and recovery when used in short-term or as-needed wellness protocols. Used to support healthy sleep architecture and overnight recovery.
Best for: Sleep quality, relaxation, recovery, sleep onset support.
An essential coenzyme that helps cells produce energy and supports healthy mitochondrial function. NAD+ plays a key role in turning nutrients into usable cellular energy and is involved in normal DNA repair, cellular stress response, and healthy aging pathways. Because NAD+ levels may decline with age, NAD+ support is often used in wellness protocols focused on energy, vitality, metabolic health, and longevity.
Best for: Cellular energy, mitochondrial support, healthy aging, DNA repair support, metabolic resilience.
A peptide studied for its role in myostatin modulation, with potential relevance to lean muscle support, body composition, strength, and recovery. Used in protocols focused on physical performance, muscle support, and body composition goals.
Best for: Lean muscle support, strength, recovery, body composition.
A follistatin-based peptide used in advanced wellness protocols focused on muscle support, body composition, recovery, and physical performance. Follistatin compounds are studied for their role in myostatin modulation, which may help support lean muscle development and strength when paired with appropriate training and recovery strategies.
Best for: Lean muscle support, body composition, strength, recovery, performance optimization.
A combination peptide blend used for skin, hair, tissue, and recovery support. GHK-Cu may support skin quality, collagen signaling, and hair health; BPC-157 and TB500 may support tissue repair and recovery pathways. Used in protocols targeting skin health, aesthetics, and whole-body tissue recovery.
Best for: Skin quality, hair health, collagen support, tissue recovery.
A metabolic peptide/agonist used in advanced body-composition and metabolic wellness protocols, with benefits related to appetite regulation, weight management, insulin sensitivity, and cardiometabolic risk-factor improvement. Used in physician-guided metabolic wellness programs.
Best for: Weight management, appetite regulation, metabolic health, cardiometabolic support.
Peptide and cellular wellness protocols at Longevity Health Clinic follow a structured, physician-guided process to ensure safety, personalization, and clinical alignment.
1. Consultation & Goal Review.
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Jason Itri, MD, PhD. Together, you'll review your health history, current concerns, wellness goals, and any prior treatments, establishing a clear clinical picture before any protocol is considered.
2. Physician-Guided Recommendations
Based on your consultation and relevant lab work, Dr. Itri will outline which peptide or cellular wellness options may be appropriate for your goals and health status. Recommendations are individualized, not templated.
3. Personalized Peptide Protocol
Your protocol is built around your specific biology, goals, and clinical data. This may include a single compound or a carefully sequenced combination, with clear guidance on administration, timing, and expectations.
4. Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments
Follow-up appointments allow Dr. Itri to review your response, adjust as needed, and ensure the protocol continues to align with your health goals and overall wellness plan.

Peptide wellness protocols are typically self-pay. Some related lab testing may be processable through insurance, depending on your plan. Our team will review pricing and options during your consultation.
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that plays a central role in cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and the cellular stress response. Because NAD+ levels may decline with age, NAD+ support is often used in wellness protocols focused on energy, vitality, and healthy aging.
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved prescription drugs used for weight management and metabolic health. Peptide wellness compounds are used in different contexts and are not FDA-approved treatments. If you are interested in medical weight loss, we offer those services separately through our Medical Weight Loss Program.
