Therapies & Metabolic Support

Clinically administered wellness support options - including NAD+, Glutathione, peptide-informed care, and GLP-1 metabolic guidance - all evaluated individually and physician-guided from consultation through follow-up.

Physician-First. Always.

The therapies and metabolic support options offered through S&L Longevity Institute are not walk-in wellness treatments. They are physician-evaluated clinical support options, discussed and initiated only after a thorough consultation with Dr. Schayes.

Dr. Schayes reviews each patient's full health picture - current medications, medical history, lab results, and individual goals - before any therapy option is discussed. Nothing on this page constitutes a recommendation for any specific individual. Suitability is determined entirely on a case-by-case basis.

These approaches are offered as potential additions to a broader, physician-guided care plan. They are not a replacement for primary care, and they are not appropriate for every patient.

Important Medical Notice

None of the therapies on this page are guaranteed to improve energy, reduce weight, reverse aging, or cure any condition. All services require physician consultation. Results vary significantly between individuals. Side effects and contraindications exist for every therapy listed - these are discussed during consultation.

Who Should Consider These Options?

  • Adults in generally good health seeking proactive wellness support
  • Patients already enrolled in a longevity program with Dr. Schayes
  • Individuals who have completed an initial consultation and lab review
  • Patients without contraindications identified during physician evaluation

Clinically Appropriate Wellness Support

All options below are discussed and evaluated during physician consultation. None are pre-prescribed or offered without individual assessment.

NAD+ Support

Intravenous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism, discussed when clinically appropriate.

NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule involved in energy production at the cellular level. Interest in NAD+ support has grown in the longevity and preventive medicine space as a potential complement to broader wellness planning.

At S&L Longevity Institute, NAD+ IV support is administered in a clinical setting by qualified personnel when Dr. Schayes has determined it may be appropriate based on individual evaluation. It is part of the Vitality and Performance programs and may also be offered a-la-carte following consultation.

  • Clinically administered in-office IV infusion
  • Discussed during consultation - not pre-prescribed
  • Individual suitability determined by physician evaluation
  • Not appropriate for all patients

NAD+ support does not guarantee energy improvement, reversal of aging, or any specific health outcome. Results vary. Side effects possible - discussed during consultation.

Glutathione Support

IV glutathione - a master antioxidant that plays a role in oxidative stress response and cellular health, when clinically appropriate.

Glutathione is one of the body's most important antioxidants, produced naturally and involved in neutralizing oxidative stress. Factors such as aging, environmental exposure, illness, and certain medications may affect glutathione levels.

IV glutathione support is administered in a clinical setting when Dr. Schayes determines it may be a suitable component of a patient's care plan. It is part of the Vitality and S&L Glow programs and may be discussed a-la-carte following consultation.

  • Intravenous administration in a supervised clinical setting
  • Discussed during consultation - not pre-prescribed
  • Appropriate only after individual physician evaluation
  • Not a treatment for any specific disease or condition

Glutathione IV support does not guarantee improved skin health, detoxification, or any specific outcome. Results vary. Consultation required.

Peptide-Informed Wellness

Peptide-informed wellness planning - discussed during consultation only, and only when clinically appropriate following full evaluation.

Peptide therapy is a rapidly evolving area of medicine. Certain peptides have been studied for their potential roles in areas such as tissue repair, growth hormone regulation, metabolic function, and immune modulation. Research is ongoing and the field continues to develop.

At S&L Longevity Institute, peptide options are discussed only during a physician consultation - and only when Dr. Schayes determines that a patient's health picture may make them a candidate. No peptide protocol is pre-set or recommended without individual evaluation and review of contraindications.

  • Consultation required - no protocol without evaluation
  • Full medical history and current medications reviewed first
  • Contraindications discussed during consultation
  • Not appropriate for all patients

Peptide-informed wellness is not appropriate for everyone. It does not treat, cure, or reverse any condition. Results vary significantly. Physician evaluation required before any discussion of specific options.

GLP-1 Metabolic Support

Physician-guided metabolic health support using GLP-1 receptor agonist medications - after full evaluation, review of candidacy, and ongoing monitoring.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that have been studied and approved for use in specific metabolic health contexts, including type 2 diabetes management and, in some cases, weight management in eligible adults. They are FDA-regulated prescription medications - not wellness supplements.

Dr. Schayes may discuss GLP-1 support with patients who have a documented metabolic health concern, have completed a full cardiometabolic evaluation, and meet clinical criteria for candidacy. This is a serious medical discussion, not a cosmetic one. Ongoing monitoring is required for all patients using GLP-1 medications.

  • Physician evaluation and candidacy review required
  • Full cardiometabolic panel completed first
  • Contraindications and risks discussed in full
  • Ongoing monthly monitoring included in Metabolic Master program
  • Not appropriate for all patients seeking weight management

GLP-1 support is a prescription medication pathway and requires physician evaluation, medical candidacy, and active monitoring. It does not guarantee weight loss or metabolic improvement. Results vary significantly. Side effects exist and are discussed during consultation. Not a substitute for dietary and lifestyle modification.

Clinical IV therapy setting

Clinically Administered. Physician Supervised.

All IV therapies at S&L Longevity Institute are administered by qualified personnel in a clinical setting at Dr. Schayes' office. No at-home IV kits. No unsupervised infusions.

The facility arrangement is structured as follows: LoVia Wellness manages IV supplies and operational logistics. All therapies are administered at Dr. Schayes' clinical facility and remain under his medical oversight. Mobile/concierge IV delivery may be available for eligible patients on an arrangement basis.

In-Office Administration

All IV support is delivered at the clinical practice - not in wellness lounges or spas.

Physician Oversight

Dr. Schayes remains the supervising physician for all therapeutic interventions.

Follow-Up Included

Every therapy session is followed by a physician check-in to monitor response and adjust as needed.
