The Hormone Optimization Stack in Bonita Springs, FL
A Two-Peptide Protocol for Growth Hormone Support, Recovery & Anti-Aging
The Hormone Optimization Stack combines Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin — two growth hormone–releasing peptides that work through complementary pathways to support the body's natural GH production. Together they target body composition, recovery, sleep quality, and long-term vitality in one coordinated protocol, built and supervised by Dr. Katherine Ortiz.

What Is Ipamorelin/Tesamorelin Protocol?
Why these two together
Each peptide in the Hormone Optimization Stack plays a distinct role, and the combination is designed so they reinforce rather than duplicate each other.
Tesamorelin — Visceral fat reduction & GH stimulation
A GHRH analog clinically shown to reduce visceral fat and stimulate natural growth hormone production, supporting lean muscle, recovery, and metabolic health.

Ipamorelin — Pulsatile GH release
A selective growth hormone secretagogue that triggers a clean, pulsatile GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or appetite hormones, supporting sleep, recovery, and lean body composition.

Who the Hormone Optimization Stack is for
Patients seeking improved body composition, faster recovery, deeper sleep, and long-term anti-aging support — particularly those looking to reduce visceral fat and rebuild lean muscle as part of a broader hormone optimization protocol.
Your Journey
Common questions
Is the Hormone Optimization Stack one combined injection or two separate peptides?
Protocols are individualized. Dr. Ortiz determines delivery method and whether peptides are combined or rotated based on your clinical picture.
How long until I see results?
Most patients report improved sleep and recovery within 4–6 weeks, with body composition changes typically visible over 8–12 weeks.
Can I start with just one peptide instead of the full stack?
Yes. Many patients begin with Tesamorelin or Ipamorelin alone and add the second peptide later. Your protocol is built around your goals, not a fixed package.
Protocol design for the Hormone Optimization Stack starts the same way every protocol does at DNA Wellness — with a full clinical consultation and review of your labs and health history. Dr. Ortiz determines dosing, delivery method, and sequencing for both peptides based on your specific case, and monitors your response with scheduled follow-ups.
