InBody Body Scan
InBody 580 Body Composition Analysis
At our clinic, we use the InBody 580—a medical-grade body composition analyzer trusted by healthcare and performance professionals worldwide—to go far beyond the scale. Unlike basic scales or handheld devices, the InBody 580 uses advanced multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to provide a highly detailed and repeatable assessment of your body’s composition.
In just about 30 seconds, the InBody 580 measures skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat level, total body water, and segmental muscle distribution across the arms, legs, and trunk. Because it analyzes the body at multiple frequencies, it can more accurately distinguish between intracellular and extracellular water, helping us assess hydration status, inflammation, and tissue quality—not just weight.
We use InBody data at baseline and at regular follow-ups to objectively track how your body responds to hormone optimization, nutrition, training, GLP-1 therapies, peptides, and lifestyle interventions. This allows us to identify trends such as muscle gain vs. fat loss, metabolic changes, and imbalances that may not be visible on the scale.
By combining InBody 580 data with labs and clinical evaluation, we can personalize your treatment plan and make informed adjustments over time. The result is clearer insights, better accountability, and data-driven decisions focused on long-term health, performance, and longevity.

Growth Hormone Secretagogues
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) releasing hormones and peptides are substances that stimulate the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland in the brain. These hormones and peptides work by acting on specific receptors in the pituitary, triggering the secretion of growth hormone into the bloodstream. Examples of HGH releasing hormones and peptides include Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogs such as CJC 1295, and Growth Hormone Secretagogues (Peptides, GHRP) like Ipamorelin. Common options include Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, CJC 1295, Ipamorelin, Macimorelin, and Ibutamoren (Mk-677).
These compounds are often used therapeutically to address conditions associated with growth hormone deficiency or to enhance physical performance, muscle growth, fat weight loss, improve sleep and overall vitality. They can be administered via injections or oral routes and are typically used under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing, safety, and maximize benefits. It is important to note that these products are not synthetic growth hormone (Somatropin) and will not shut down your body’s natural production of HGH.

Repair and Recovery
Physical activity not what it used to be? Still want to shoot a round with the guys but you pay for it the next day? Have a nagging injury that never healed quite right? We have some solutions to those issues such as BPC-157 and TB-500. A thorough physical exam is recommended before being considered for any peptide therapy.
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157): BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in the gastric juice. It has shown remarkable healing properties in various tissues, including tendons, muscles, ligaments, and the gastrointestinal tract. BPC-157 works by modulating several biological pathways involved in tissue repair, such as promoting angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), reducing inflammation, and enhancing cell proliferation and migration. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in accelerating the healing process and improving tissue regeneration in animal models of tendon and ligament injuries, muscle tears, and gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, BPC-157 has shown potential in protecting against NSAID-induced gastrointestinal damage and promoting the healing of ulcers. Its multifaceted mechanism of action makes it a promising candidate for treating a wide range of injuries and conditions involving tissue damage.
TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4): TB-500 is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring peptide found in various tissues, including blood platelets, saliva, and wound fluid. It plays a crucial role in regulating cellular processes involved in wound healing, tissue repair, and regeneration. TB-500 promotes cell migration to the site of injury, stimulates the proliferation of cells involved in tissue repair, and modulates inflammation to facilitate the healing process. Research has shown that TB-500 can accelerate the healing of various injuries, including muscle tears, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries, in animal models and clinical studies. Moreover, TB-500 has demonstrated protective effects on the cardiovascular system, promoting the repair of damaged heart tissue and improving cardiac function after myocardial infarction. Its ability to enhance tissue repair and regeneration makes TB-500 a promising therapeutic agent for treating injuries and promoting recovery in athletes, individuals with chronic conditions, and those undergoing surgical procedures.
Shockwave Therapy (LiSWT): Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is a noninvasive, evidence-based treatment that uses low-intensity acoustic waves to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve penile blood flow at the vascular level. These acoustic waves promote neovascularization (the formation of new blood vessels), enhance endothelial function, and activate the body’s natural healing response, addressing one of the most common root causes of ED—impaired circulation. Several forms of shockwave therapy exist, including radial and focused shockwave technologies, with focused shockwave therapy offering deeper tissue penetration and more precise energy delivery. At Virtus we use the Storz Medical Masterpuls® Ultra+, a clinically advanced system that utilizes high-energy acoustic wave technology to deliver consistent, targeted treatment with proven efficacy in erectile dysfunction. The benefits of shockwave therapy include improved erectile strength, enhanced responsiveness, better spontaneous erections, and reduced reliance on medications. When combined with hormone optimization—such as balancing testosterone and other key hormones—and regenerative therapies like the P-Shot®, shockwave therapy can deliver synergistic results by improving blood flow, tissue health, and hormonal support simultaneously, offering a comprehensive and long-lasting approach to restoring sexual performance and confidence.
Memory and Cognition
Memory and cognition peptides represent a burgeoning field of research aimed at enhancing cognitive function and memory formation. Among the peptides under investigation are DiHexa, Selank, Semax, and Epitalon. These peptides exhibit various mechanisms of action and potential benefits for brain health and cognitive performance.
DiHexa short for N,N’-dihexyl-[2,6-difluorobenzene]hexanamide, is a synthetic peptide initially developed as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. It has been shown to promote neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons, and enhance synaptic plasticity, the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in response to experience. These effects may contribute to improved cognitive function and memory recall. Research suggests that DiHexa’s neuroprotective properties make it a promising candidate for mitigating cognitive decline associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
Selank is another peptide with cognitive-enhancing properties. It is a synthetic analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring peptide in the body involved in immune modulation and neuroprotection. Selank has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve cognitive function by modulating the levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain. Additionally, Selank may enhance memory consolidation and retrieval, making it a potential treatment option for conditions characterized by cognitive impairment or emotional disturbances.
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which plays a role in regulating stress response and cognition. Semax has demonstrated neuroprotective, neurogenic, and cognitive-enhancing effects in preclinical studies. It has been shown to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, a protein involved in neuronal growth and survival, and enhance memory formation and learning ability. These findings suggest that Semax may have therapeutic potential for improving cognitive function in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.
Epitalon is a synthetic peptide comprised of four amino acids and is derived from the natural peptide Epithalamin, which originates from the pineal gland in the brain. Research on epitalon indicates its potential to combat aging by regulating telomere length and activating telomerase, essential for maintaining cellular health. Beyond its anti-aging properties, epitalon has demonstrated antioxidant effects and the ability to modulate immune function. Preliminary studies also suggest benefits in improving sleep patterns, regulating hormone levels, and enhancing cognitive function. However, further clinical research is required to fully ascertain the efficacy and safety of epitalon supplementation for broader therapeutic use.

Anti Aging
Not all of us care to look younger but for those that do, we have some options to keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay without the use of Botox. While Botox is effective, a daily topical regimen can help augment a youthful appearance. In addition to topical applications we also have some other options to consider such as NAD+ and Growth Hormone Analogues to name a few. Please note this is not an exhaustive list.
Anti Wrinkle Serum: GHK-Cu copper peptide with Argireline and Leuphasyl face serum is a skincare formulation that harnesses the synergistic benefits of multiple ingredients to combat signs of aging. GHK-Cu, a tripeptide complex containing copper, acts as a powerful antioxidant and collagen stimulator, supporting skin regeneration and firmness while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Argireline and Leuphasyl, two neuropeptide complexes, complement the action of GHK-Cu by targeting muscle contractions responsible for expression lines. By inhibiting muscle movement, Argireline and Leuphasyl contribute to a smoother complexion, preventing the formation of new wrinkles and visibly reducing the depth of existing ones. Together, these ingredients work in harmony to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin, promoting a more youthful, radiant appearance. Useful for gravitational folds, permanent elastic creases, dynamic expression lines, and atrophic crinkling rhytids (loss of collagen).
Anti-Aging Face Cream: DMAE, Estriol, GHK-Cu, and Hyaluronic Acid Biopeptide anti-aging skin cream is designed to target multiple signs of aging, revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin for a more youthful appearance. DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) serves as a key ingredient, renowned for its skin-firming properties. It works to enhance muscle tone, leading to a more lifted and sculpted appearance while minimizing the appearance of sagging and drooping skin. Estriol, a naturally occurring estrogen hormone, plays a crucial role in skin hydration and elasticity, helping to restore moisture levels and improve overall skin texture. GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is another essential component of this anti-aging cream, known for its antioxidant properties and ability to stimulate collagen production. This peptide complex supports skin repair processes, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and enhances skin firmness and elasticity. Hyaluronic Acid Biopeptide, with its exceptional hydrating properties, replenishes moisture levels in the skin, plumping up fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother and more youthful complexion. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to address various signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and uneven texture. The result is skin that looks firmer, smoother, and more radiant, with a visibly rejuvenated and revitalized appearance. Useful to tighten loose skin, reverse thinning, reduce fine lines, and protect from UV damage.
NAD+: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme found in all living cells and is involved in numerous biochemical processes essential for cellular function and health. One of its primary roles is as a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular metabolism, particularly in the production of energy through processes like glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, NAD+ serves as a substrate for enzymes involved in DNA repair, signaling pathways, and gene expression regulation. As we age, levels of NAD+ naturally decline, which can have profound effects on cellular function and contribute to the aging process. Lower NAD+ levels have been associated with a range of age-related health issues, including mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased energy production, impaired DNA repair, and increased oxidative stress. By replenishing NAD+ levels, either through supplementation with NAD+ precursors like nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), or by activating NAD+ biosynthetic pathways, it’s believed that cellular function can be restored and age-related decline mitigated.
Epitalon: is a synthetic peptide comprised of four amino acids and is derived from the natural peptide Epithalamin, which originates from the pineal gland in the brain. Research on epitalon indicates its potential to combat aging by regulating telomere length and activating telomerase, essential for maintaining cellular health. Beyond its anti-aging properties, epitalon has demonstrated antioxidant effects and the ability to modulate immune function. Preliminary studies also suggest benefits in improving sleep patterns, regulating hormone levels, and enhancing cognitive function. However, further clinical research is required to fully ascertain the efficacy and safety of epitalon supplementation for broader therapeutic use.
