Peptide Therapy in Bonita Springs, FL
Personalized protocols built from your labs, supervised by Dr. Katherine Ortiz
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as precise signaling molecules — telling your body to heal, regulate inflammation, optimize hormones, or repair tissue. At DNA Wellness, every protocol is built from labs and supervised by Dr. Katherine Ortiz.

Our Phased Approach
The best outcomes come from strategy, not stacking everything at once. Dr. Ortiz introduces peptides in a deliberate sequence so the body can respond properly and results can be accurately monitored.
Phase 1
Reduce inflammation & repair tissue
BPC-157 · TB-500 We begin by addressing the inflammatory load and structural damage that blocks everything else.
Phase 2
Optimize metabolism & cellular energy MOTS-C
Once inflammation is under control, we improve mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism.
Phase 3
Hormone support & recovery
Tesamorelin · Sermorelin · Ipamorelin Finally, we stimulate natural growth hormone production to support body composition, sleep, and long-term anti-aging outcomes.
Peptide therapies we offer
BPC-157
Healing & repair A regenerative peptide derived from a protective protein in gastric juice. Supports gut lining repair, tendon and ligament healing, and systemic anti-inflammatory modulation. Currently under FDA compounding review (PCAC July 2026). Best for: injury recovery, gut dysfunction, leaky gut, post-surgical healing → Learn about BPC-157
TB-500
Soft-tissue recovery A synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 that works systemically to speed cellular repair, improve flexibility, and reduce soft-tissue inflammation throughout the body. Best for: athletic recovery, musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical healing, range of motion → Learn about TB-500
MOTS-C
Metabolic optimization A mitochondria-derived peptide that enhances insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism, and cellular energy production — addressing aging-related metabolic decline at its source. Best for: metabolic decline, energy, weight management support, longevity → Learn about MOTS-C
Tesamorelin
Growth hormone support A growth hormone-releasing analog clinically proven to reduce visceral fat, improve lean muscle support, and enhance recovery. Taken nightly on an empty stomach as part of a personalized protocol. Best for: abdominal fat reduction, body composition, sleep quality, anti-aging → Learn about Tesamorelin
KPV
Gut & immune health A naturally occurring tripeptide that targets NF-κB inflammatory pathways — supporting gut lining repair, immune modulation, and skin conditions without broadly suppressing immune function. Best for: leaky gut, IBD, Crohn's, chronic inflammation, eczema, psoriasis → Learn about KPV
PT-141
Sexual wellness Works through the central nervous system — not just blood flow or hormones — to enhance libido and sexual function in both men and women. Best for: low libido, sexual dysfunction, hormone-related intimacy concerns → Learn about PT-141
Sermorelin / Ipamorelin
GH optimization Stimulate the pituitary to release natural growth hormone rather than replacing it directly. Commonly used for recovery, lean muscle support, improved sleep, and healthy aging. Best for: fat metabolism, anti-aging, body composition, sleep quality → Learn about Sermorelin
Common Questions
What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy uses specific amino acid sequences to support natural processes in the body — from tissue repair and hormone regulation to metabolism and immune function. Treatment plans are customized based on your labs, health history, and goals.
Is peptide therapy safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, peptide therapy is generally safe for appropriate candidates. Dr. Ortiz reviews your full medical history and current lab work before recommending any protocol.
How do I know which peptide is right for me?
That's determined at your consultation. Dr. Ortiz uses lab work and a clinical assessment to match the right peptide — or combination — to your specific goals. We don't prescribe from a template.
