Peptide Therapy
Tesamorelin
A physician-directed growth-hormone-releasing peptide targeting stubborn visceral fat, recovery, and sleep — dosed to your labs and delivered to your door.
Available by consultation
Clinical Overview
How Tesamorelin works
A stabilized analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that signals your own pituitary — raising GH and IGF-1 within your body's natural rhythm.
Signals the pituitary
Tesamorelin mimics GHRH, prompting your pituitary gland to release your own growth hormone in natural, pulsatile bursts.
Mobilizes visceral fat
The resulting rise in GH and IGF-1 preferentially targets deep abdominal fat — the visceral fat linked to metabolic risk.
Supports recovery
Improved GH signaling is associated with better sleep quality, recovery, and lean body composition when paired with training.
Candidacy Profiling
A considered fit, not a funnel.
Adults — often men optimizing performance and body composition — carrying stubborn midsection fat that resists diet and training, who want a supervised, labs-based peptide protocol.
- Adults with excess visceral (abdominal) fat that hasn't responded to training and nutrition
- Patients optimizing recovery, sleep, and lean body composition under provider direction
- Members who want their IGF-1 and metabolic markers monitored throughout treatment
- Active malignancy or a history of pituitary tumor or pituitary surgery
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy
- Uncontrolled diabetes or acute critical illness
Expected Timeline
What to Expect
Tesamorelin works gradually — visceral fat and body-composition changes build over months under structured monitoring, not days.
- 01
Month 1
Onboarding
Nightly dosing begins. Baseline IGF-1 and metabolic labs are reviewed; many members notice improved sleep first.
- 02
Month 3
Momentum
Recovery and body-composition shifts become noticeable. Your provider re-checks labs and confirms the protocol is calibrated.
- 03
Month 6+
Visceral fat
Meaningful reduction in visceral fat is typical in clinical use, alongside continued recovery and composition gains.
Tesamorelin outcomes are individual and provider-directed. IGF-1 and metabolic markers are monitored on a structured cadence throughout treatment.

Clinical Safety
No medication is right for everyone.
Common side effects
Most common: mild injection-site redness, joint or muscle aches, fluid retention, or transient changes in blood sugar. Your provider monitors labs and adjusts to keep the protocol comfortable and appropriate.
Clinical Contraindications
Not appropriate for patients with active malignancy, a history of pituitary tumor or pituitary surgery, or for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Blood sugar is monitored in patients with diabetes. Full medical history and labs are reviewed before any prescription is authorized.
Pinnacle Atlas protocols are prepared by partner compounding pharmacies in the United States. Compounding pharmacies are regulated by both state boards and the FDA and have been part of American medicine since long before mass-manufactured drugs existed. The active ingredient is prepared per your protocol — supervised by your provider — and delivered direct to your door.
Clinical Experience
From members of the Tesamorelin program.
- “
I train hard and eat clean, but the belly fat never moved. Six months in, my midsection is genuinely different and I'm sleeping better than I have in years.
- “
What sold me was the monitoring — my provider checks my IGF-1 and labs and adjusts. It never feels like a mystery peptide off the internet.
- “
Recovery between sessions is the biggest change. I feel a decade younger, and the composition changes followed once I stayed consistent.
