Why patients choose us
Why choose WheelHouse for peptide therapy
Straight talk on evidence
Some peptides are FDA-approved medicines. Many sold online are not, and have little human research. We tell you which is which.
Licensed pharmacies only
We never point you to research chemicals or grey-market products.
Lab-monitored
Baseline and follow-up labs make sure a treatment is helping and not harming.
How it works
How we approach peptides
Every plan starts with your goals and your health, not a product.
Consultation
Talk through what you want to improve and what you have tried.
Labs and review
Relevant blood tests and a check for anything that makes a treatment unsafe.
Honest options
We explain what the evidence supports, including options that are not peptides at all.
Monitoring
If you start a treatment, we follow up and stop it if it is not working.

A word of caution
Not every peptide is legal or safe to prescribe. The FDA has restricted many peptides that are marketed online, because of safety concerns and a lack of evidence. We follow those rules. If a request is not safe or legal, we will say so and suggest better options.
What it costs
Clear prices, before you start
Start with a consultation. Pay per visit from $85, or use a visit included in your membership. If you go ahead with treatment, we give you the full price first, including any medicine, infusion or product, so there are never surprise bills.
We do not bill insurance. Many patients pay with an HSA or FSA card.
Lydia M. Wheeler, NP-C
Board-certified nurse practitioner and founder. Every visit ends with a plan you understand.
Common questions
Peptide therapy questions
Still wondering about something? Call or text us Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Some are well-studied, FDA-approved medicines, such as GLP-1 medicines for diabetes and weight. Others are experimental.
Many of these are not approved and have been restricted for compounding by the FDA. We will not prescribe products that are unsafe or not legally available, and we will explain why.
It depends entirely on the peptide, the source and your health. That is why we screen, use licensed pharmacies and monitor.
Usually yes, both to check suitability and to track results.
