100+ five-star reviewsClinician-ledTelehealthHSA/FSA acceptedHFW considers selected peptide therapies only after understanding your goals, symptoms, medical context, relevant testing, risks, and whether the therapy is clinically and legally appropriate. A peptide may be useful for one patient and wrong for another.
The goal is not access to the largest menu of compounds. It is to select the least intervention reasonably necessary for a defined objective, monitor the response, and reassess whether the therapy should continue.

You want peptides done properly: tested, prescribed, and monitored.
Peptides are one component of healthy aging and health optimization, not the plan itself. These are the goal areas where HFW considers them, after testing, and only when the rest of the picture supports it.
Which category fits, and whether a peptide belongs in your plan at all, is a clinical decision made from your testing and history. Bioregulators are a separate class. See bioregulator therapy →
Peptides work best inside a plan. Testing is what tells us which ones fit you, and in what order.
TruHealth is where we start: nutrients, cellular function, immune and inflammatory patterns, and hormone-related markers, the picture of what your biology is doing now. Conventional bloodwork adds hormone, thyroid, and safety markers when they change a decision. GI-MAP comes in when the gut is part of the picture, and TruAge when the goal is healthy aging and which systems are running ahead of your age. Together, that is what your clinician uses to select the peptide category that fits your goals and your biology, and to time it well.
A peptide works best on a corrected foundation. Testing surfaces the nutrient, sleep, gut, and hormone deficits that would hold your results back, so they are addressed first or alongside, and the plan is built in that order: foundations, then optimization.
Members repeat TruHealth roughly every quarter, with a scheduled clinician review of what moved and what did not. Continuing, changing, simplifying, pausing, or stopping a therapy is a fresh decision each time, made from the new results. That repeating cycle is what membership is built around. See membership →
A peptide is not a starting point. It is a decision that only makes sense once we understand what we are trying to change and how we will know whether it worked.
If those questions do not resolve well, the answer is no. That happens, and it is a reasonable outcome of an introductory call.
Peptide therapies do not all sit in the same regulatory category. Some are FDA-approved medicines, some are compounded for physician use, and some are research-only, and HFW tells you which applies before anything is considered for you.
Read: Is peptide therapy evidence-based? →24 pages on advanced testing, clinician-led protocols, and why strategy comes before any single compound.
A protocol is a course of care, not a shipment.
When a one-time peptide or advanced-compound protocol is clinically approved, the HFW Patient Care Package provides structured support through the course of care.
A protocol is quoted individually after your evaluation, as a managed and personalized plan for the whole course of care, not as a product price. Refills and renewals are not automatic. Continuing a therapy is a fresh clinical decision each time, based on how you responded and what the monitoring shows.
A focused protocol can stand on its own. Membership is for people ready to make a commitment to healthy aging, or to longer-term corrective care and health optimization: the testing, the clinician, and the coaching around your peptide plan all year, retesting each quarter and adjusting as the results change.
Begins after a separate $450 initial TruHealth assessment, which includes a 60 to 90 minute clinician review. Bloodwork, medications, and peptide protocols are purchased separately.

Evidence and regulatory context
They get discussed as one category, which is misleading. Regulatory status and strength of evidence differ enormously from one to the next, and that difference should shape the conversation.
FDA-approved uses
Some peptide medications have approved indications and an established body of evidence behind them.
Off-label use
An approved medication used for a purpose outside its labeling. Legitimate and common in medicine, but it changes what can be claimed.
Compounded products
Prepared by a compounding pharmacy rather than manufactured under an approval. Availability and rules vary.
Limited or emerging evidence
Interesting mechanisms, early or thin human data. Worth discussing honestly, not worth presenting as established.
HFW discusses these differences with you directly and considers the available evidence, your circumstances, the monitoring required, and lawful availability before recommending anything specific.

It’s been a blessing working with Dr. Landi and his entire team! After getting my test results, Dr. Landi walked me through a number of helpful steps to restore my health. He is very knowledgeable and uses an in-depth functional medicine approach in addressing health concerns. Bernadette is also very kind and thoughtful and I enjoy the interpersonal connection I have built with all of them.

I have been working with Dr Landi for several months now. He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and responsive. He actually listens which is rare in medicine these days. I’m excited to see what the results are from my protocol in a couple of months. Highly recommend his practice if you’re looking into functional medicine.
Lauren Griffith
Dr. Landi is highly knowledgeable and skilled in the field of functional medicine, but he also possesses a genuine empathy and compassion that is so often lacking in the traditional healthcare system. Dr. Landi connects to each of his patients on a personal level, works with you every step of the way, and makes you feel supported while navigating challenging health obstacles.
Kevin Heckman
I found out about the practice of Functional Dr’e last year and realized this is what I need! Finding Dr Landi so close to home was awesome. We appreciated his candor, knowledge and engaging personality. He exuded caring and interest in me and my situation. I feel he had repeatedly gone the extra mile for me so our collaboration is successful.
Peptides do not work in isolation.
Your response depends on your whole system.

| Our Standard | What It Means |
|---|---|
|
Clinical Intake First
|
We review your health history, medications, goals, prior labs, symptoms, and risk factors before considering therapy.
|
|
Labs Before Protocols
|
We use bloodwork and functional testing to understand your baseline and identify contraindications or missed dysfunction.
|
|
Quality-Focused Sourcing
|
When appropriate, protocols are coordinated through licensed pharmacy partners or regulated channels, not online marketplaces.
|
|
Documentation Review
|
Quality documentation, sterility, purity, endotoxin, and batch-level testing standards are considered when available and applicable.
|
|
No Research-Only Vendors
|
We do not build care around gray-market, research-only, unverified, or patient-purchased products.
|
|
Structured Dosing
|
Dosing, timing, duration, and sequencing are determined by the clinical team, not copied from the internet.
|
|
Ongoing Monitoring
|
Symptoms, biomarkers, safety markers, and response patterns guide every adjustment.
|
|
Clinical Restraint
|
Not every patient needs peptides. Not every peptide fits every goal. Not every protocol should continue indefinitely.

We review your symptoms, goals, prior peptide experience, and medical history, then talk through whether HFW is the right fit.
Advanced testing and safety labs establish your baseline. An advanced care clinician then interprets the results alongside your history, symptoms and goals, and builds a prioritized plan.
We address the foundation first, gut, hormones, inflammation, and nutrient gaps, so peptides work as intended rather than in isolation.
Your protocol begins with clinician-supervised dosing, pharmacy coordination when appropriate, supplements, and ongoing monitoring.
Quarterly labs, response tracking, and safety monitoring help you protect your progress and adjust the protocol as your biology changes.

HFW is based at 401 Hillsdale Ave, Hillsdale, New Jersey, in northern Bergen County. A significant share of our patients come from the surrounding tristate area, and we also work with patients across the country.
Peptide consultations are handled by telehealth, so where you live rarely determines whether we can work together. What varies is the specific therapy, which depends on your testing, your medical context, your state, and clinician authorization. Safety and appropriateness are determined by HFW's advanced care clinicians.
Advanced testing is available nationwide.

What determines whether a peptide is appropriate for a given person, who should not use it, and the red flags that a provider is not doing this safely.
Short answers to what people ask before booking. Tap a question to open it.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Many occur naturally in the body, where they act as signaling molecules that influence processes such as repair, metabolism, immune activity, and hormone release. In clinical use, peptide therapy means using a specific peptide for a specific objective. Peptides are a broad category, not one treatment, and evidence, legal status, formulation, route, and risk vary substantially by the exact product.
Some peptide medicines are FDA approved for specific indications, but that does not make every peptide or every use approved. Many peptides used in optimization settings are prescribed off-label or are compounded, and compounded products are not FDA approved. This is one of the most important things to understand before starting, and HFW discusses the regulatory status of a specific therapy with you rather than glossing over it.
Any therapy that has an effect can have side effects, and no peptide is risk-free. Risk depends on the specific compound, the formulation, the route, the dose, your health history, other medications, and how you are monitored. HFW will not tell you a peptide is safe because it is natural or because it is a peptide. Safety is evaluated individually and monitored over time.
HFW prices a clinician-guided care package, not a vial. Peptide therapy starts around $225 per month and is purchased separately from membership. There is no single price beyond that, because the total depends on which compound your clinician selects and how long the protocol runs. You receive a written quote before you commit to anything. Longevity Membership members and Functional Medicine Corrective Program patients receive 15% off eligible peptide protocol packages. Conventional bloodwork is separate, and a listed price does not mean a therapy is appropriate for you.
The package is the care around the therapy, not just the therapy. It typically includes the complimentary introductory consultation, the therapy itself for the stated protocol duration, an initial injection walkthrough by video chat with a member of the clinical team, guided preparation resources where a product requires it, standard shipping and standard administration supplies, and two clinician consultations, usually one midway through the protocol and one at the end. Some products arrive already compounded from a pharmacy. Conventional bloodwork is separate, and continuation at the end of the protocol requires clinician review rather than renewing automatically.
Because you are not comparing the same thing. An online seller prices a product. HFW prices an evaluation, appropriate baseline testing, clinician selection of the therapy and duration, an initial injection walkthrough by video, guided preparation resources where needed, two clinician consultations, oversight during the term, and a decision at the end about whether to continue, change, or stop. Product quality, formulation, and legal status also vary considerably outside a clinical setting. The comparison that matters is the full care model, not the price of a vial.
Generally no. TruHealth is usually completed before an initial peptide protocol because it helps establish an individualized baseline, and a clinician may waive it only in rare circumstances. A separate pre-protocol bloodwork review, usually $150, may also apply at clinician discretion. HFW does not sell peptides from a public menu, and a request for a specific compound begins an evaluation rather than an order.
Because the same compound can be reasonable for one person and inappropriate for another, and because a protocol chosen from symptoms alone is a guess. Testing establishes a baseline, can surface things that should be addressed first, flags safety considerations, and gives you and your clinician something objective to measure against later. Without it there is no way to tell whether a therapy worked, whether something else was driving the problem, or whether continuing is justified. HFW would rather spend your money on the right thing than on a protocol nobody can evaluate.
It varies substantially by compound. Some peptides have meaningful clinical research behind specific uses. Others have mechanistic or preclinical work that suggests a plausible effect but has not been established as a patient outcome. A proposed mechanism is not the same as a proven clinical benefit, and HFW’s position is to tell you which category a specific therapy falls into rather than presenting all peptides as equally supported.
No. Peptides are optional tools inside a broader plan, not the default. Many patients are better served by addressing sleep, nutrition, training, metabolic health, gut function, nutrient status, or hormone patterns first. HFW aims to use the least intervention reasonably necessary, and sometimes the right recommendation is not to add another therapy.
HFW works from the patient’s objective rather than a product list. Common objectives include recovery, energy, sleep quality, cognition, body composition, metabolic health, and general healthspan support. Whether a peptide is an appropriate route to a given objective, and which one, is a clinical decision made after evaluation. HFW keeps public education at the category level rather than promoting named compounds.
Most focused packages run for a defined period such as two, three, or four months, depending on the therapy and the clinician-approved plan. HFW does not assume indefinite use. At the end of the term your clinician reviews response, safety, and goals, and the plan may continue, change, pause, or stop.
No. Under the current policy, protocol packages do not automatically renew. Every refill and continuation decision requires clinician review, and required monitoring must be completed before continuation when applicable.
No. Membership does not include medications, peptides, TRT, or HRT. Those are selected and purchased separately after clinical evaluation. Members receive 15% off eligible peptide and GLP-1 protocol packages, TRT, and HRT.
Combinations are a clinical decision, not a menu choice. Whether more than one therapy is appropriate at the same time depends on your objective, your history, interactions, risk, monitoring, and whether adding complexity actually improves the outcome. HFW’s default is the least intervention reasonably necessary, and it will not stack therapies simply because they are available.
These sit within the recovery and tissue repair work we do, and a clinician may consider any of them. What decides it isn’t the name. It’s what your testing shows. Our foundation testing is built to answer two things at once: whether a specific therapy is appropriate for you, and what else is going on that could get in the way. Slow recovery often traces to something upstream, like inflammatory load, nutrient depletion, poor sleep architecture, or an unresolved gut issue. Any of those can blunt a compound that would otherwise help, or make it the wrong choice entirely.
All of these fall inside the energy and mitochondrial work we do, and a clinician may consider them. Which one, if any, depends on what your testing shows. Fatigue is the symptom with the most possible causes, so our foundation testing is designed to separate them. The question is whether the problem is genuinely cellular energy production, or thyroid, or anemia, or sleep, or something inflammatory sitting underneath. The same testing surfaces what would keep a compound from working, or make it inappropriate for you specifically.
These are part of the hormone and vitality work we do, and a clinician may consider them. Hormones are where testing matters most, because the same complaint of low drive, poor recovery or flat mood can come from very different places, and the right therapy for one is the wrong therapy for another. Our foundation testing is designed to establish which, and to surface anything that would make a given therapy inappropriate or ineffective for you.
These sit within the brain and cognition category we work in, and a clinician may consider them. Cognitive complaints like brain fog, poor focus, or memory that isn’t what it was rarely start in the brain. Our foundation testing looks for what’s driving it: inflammation, blood sugar instability, nutrient status, hormone shifts, sleep quality, gut involvement. That tells us whether a specific therapy is appropriate, and it surfaces what would keep one from helping.
Both sit within the sleep and nervous system work we do, and a clinician may consider them. Sleep is one of the clearest examples of why we test first. Disrupted sleep can be cortisol rhythm, a hormone shift, blood sugar, inflammatory load, or a genuine circadian problem, and those don’t respond to the same thing. Our foundation testing is designed to identify which, and to surface anything present that would prevent a therapy from being safe or effective for you.
Both fall within the gut and immune work we do, and a clinician may consider them. This is the category where testing changes the plan most often. A GI-MAP can show a pathogen, a dysbiosis pattern, or an immune marker that reframes the whole picture, and the same result that points toward one therapy can rule out another. Our foundation testing determines whether a specific therapy is appropriate and surfaces what else is present that could keep it from working.
These are part of the body composition and metabolic work we do, and a clinician may consider them. Weight that won’t move is usually more than one thing: thyroid, insulin signaling, cortisol, sex hormones, inflammation, sleep. A therapy aimed at the wrong one produces a disappointing result at best. Our foundation testing is designed to establish which mechanism is actually driving it, whether a specific therapy is appropriate, and what else is present that could make it unsafe or ineffective for you.
IGF-1 LR3 is one we approach differently from the rest. There are specific disease profiles where a clinician would consider it, but we don’t use it for body composition, which is what it’s usually asked about. If body composition is the goal, our foundation testing points toward approaches with a better risk-to-benefit picture for that purpose.
