Doctor-Led Peptide Consultation

Fifteen minutes. Are peptides right for you, and if so, which one, at what dose and for how long? Bloods are recommended.

Peptides for recovery

What people usually experience

  • Recovery between sessions taking longer than it used to
  • Consistent training without a matching gain in performance
  • Sleep of adequate duration that does not leave you rested
  • A previous injury that has not fully resolved
  • A peptide protocol sourced online, with no clinical oversight

Peptides for recovery

Informed and guided

Peptide dosing that's conservative and monitored

A physician reviews your history and your goals, explains what the evidence does and does not support, and sets dosing, timing and cycling in writing, with review points agreed up front.

Clinical focus

What the doctor decides in your consult

Are you a candidate?
Whether peptide therapy suits your history, your goals and your bloods.
What rules it out?
Medications, conditions and history that make peptides unsafe or need caution.
Is something simpler better first?
If sleep, training or hormones are the real constraint, we treat that instead.
Does the evidence support it?
Whether current evidence backs peptides for your specific goal, and where it does not.

peptide consult

Fifteen minutes, and you'll know. Whether peptides suit you, which one, and what it costs. Or why we'd start somewhere else instead.

This is a focused strategy session. It does not include comprehensive blood review, advanced metabolic testing, a full longevity roadmap, or ongoing concierge oversight. For deeper optimisation, patients may transition into the Baseline 360 health assessment.

About WellNest

Safety, suitability & medical information

A peptide consult at WellNest in Cape Town is a doctor-led, evidence-aware review of whether a peptide approach is appropriate for you. Peptides are prescribed only where clinically appropriate: not every patient is a candidate. Blood work is recommended, and additional testing may be requested where it is indicated. Every recommendation is clinically reviewed, and no treatment starts without medical approval. The session is fifteen minutes, and additional charges may apply if a consult runs longer.

This information is general and educational, here to help you make informed choices, and is not a substitute for personal medical advice. Our consults and services are personalised and are not right for everyone, and individual results vary. Peptide therapy and prescription medication are dispensed only where clinically indicated, on prescription, after review by an HPCSA-registered physician. If you would like a clinician to review your goals, medical history, and suitability before starting, you can book a consult with our team. Medical content is overseen by Dr Raythaan Addinall, HPCSA-registered medical practitioner (MP0941263). Last reviewed: July 2026. Next review due: July 2027.
