GLP-1 and peptide protocols engineered for high-performance athletes who plan to outlast the sport — not the heart that powers it.
01 — The thesis
The athletes we work with don't have a body composition problem. They have a 40-year horizon. The same training that builds elite VO₂ max also accelerates plaque turnover, lipoprotein(a) exposure, and silent inflammation that doesn't show up on a finish-line photo.
Base Layer protocols use the new generation of GLP-1 and signaling peptides — paired with quarterly advanced lipid and inflammatory panels — to lower the cardiovascular cost of training at your level. Less plaque. Cleaner recovery. A heart that stays a base layer, not a ceiling.
02 — Protocols
Every protocol is built around a physician-led intake, quarterly bloodwork, and the cardiovascular markers that actually matter — ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, and visceral fat.
Low-dose GLP-1 + cardio-protective peptide stack for endurance athletes already in single-digit body fat.
Signaling peptides for athletes who train through what would sideline most people.
For the athlete planning the next ten years, not the next ten weeks. Plaque-aware, Lp(a)-aware.
03 — Built underneath
Most peptide clinics chase the wrong number. We don't. Every Base Layer patient gets quarterly advanced bloodwork and an annual coronary calcium score — because for an athlete, "I feel great" is the most expensive sentence in medicine.
04 — The process
10-minute intake. Training load, family history, current labs. We accept athletes only — competitive masters, semi-pro, pro.
Advanced lipid panel, hormones, inflammatory markers. Drawn at a Quest near you or by mobile phlebotomist.
A board-certified MD designs your stack against your numbers — not a template. Reviewed live, on video.
Cold-chain shipped from a US 503A pharmacy. Re-test every 90 days. Adjust everything. Nothing is set-and-forget.
“I'm 41. I've raced Kona three times. My ApoB was 118. Base Layer is the only practice that treated my training like a cardiovascular event, not a personality trait.”Marcus H.
05 — FAQ
That's the headline use case. The signal we care about is downstream: GLP-1 agonists lower ApoB, reduce visceral fat, and in the SELECT trial cut major adverse cardiovascular events by 20% in non-diabetic patients. We dose low, monitor closely, and pair with peptides that protect performance — not erase it.
Not at micro-dose. Our protocols are designed around your training calendar — base, build, peak, taper. We adjust dosing around race blocks and have never had a patient lose VO₂ max on Cardio Base.
Yes. Everything we dispense is compounded by a US-based 503A pharmacy under a valid physician prescription, shipped cold-chain. We do not source gray-market peptides and we will not write for them.
One quarter. Anything shorter and the bloodwork can't tell us whether the protocol is working. If your 90-day labs don't move in the right direction, we don't take the next quarter.
Anyone under 28, anyone seeking a cosmetic body-comp protocol, anyone unwilling to do quarterly bloodwork. We turn down roughly 60% of applicants.
