Weight loss that builds you up, not breaks you down.
Most GLP-1 clinics hand you a prescription and check in once a month. PHD builds you an actual program: a two-week reset, a nutrition plan, a way to move your body, and a weekly weigh-in, all before the number on the scale becomes the only thing that changes.
Takes about three minutes. No card, no commitment.
Every plan reviewed by a licensed physician
Clinical protocols tailored to your baseline labs and ongoing response.
Guidance and accountability, every week
Dedicated support for habits, nutrition, and routine sustainability.
Joule Fitness Studio, 155 Railroad Ave
Local Contra Costa community access plus comprehensive remote options.
The Four-Part Program
Before the scale becomes the only metric, we engineer a sustainable biological foundation.
Two-Week Reset
Initial detox, gut stabilization, and baseline metabolic priming to reduce systemic inflammation before starting therapeutic peptides or GLP-1s.
Protein-First Nutrition
Custom macronutrient frameworks engineered to protect lean muscle tissue during caloric reduction, preventing skinny-fat composition outcomes.
Movement & Resistance
Coached strength sessions through Joule Fitness Studio in Danville or structured home training protocols tailored to your baseline joint health.
Weekly Weigh-Ins & Check-ins
Weekly accountability, body composition checks, and proactive symptom management under clinical supervision to adapt dosage and nutrition.
Detox & Meal-Plan Kit + Joule Fitness Studio Integration
Every client receives a dedicated starter kit, structured food guidelines, plant-based protein and digestive support, and full access to our Joule coaching community in Danville, CA.
Guided strength training provides the biological demand needed to keep muscle while burning fat.
Why lean muscle is non-negotiable.
Losing weight is relatively easy when appetite is suppressed. Keeping your metabolic rate high, maintaining bone density, and feeling energetic requires preserving muscle.
Metabolism is muscle-dependent
Every pound of muscle lost reduces your resting metabolic burn. When you finish medication, a lower metabolic rate is what causes rapid rebound weight gain.
Protein intake must be deliberate
GLP-1 medications blunt natural hunger cues, making it easy to severely under-consume protein. We set concrete daily targets to protect your lean mass.
Resistance stimulus signals retention
Your body only retains tissue that is actively signaled. Guided strength training provides the biological demand needed to keep muscle while burning fat.

What you have access to
Two ways we help you lose weight and actually keep it off.
Both paths below are medically supervised. The physician determines what's clinically appropriate — our role is to make sure the weight that comes off is fat, not muscle, and that it stays off.
Metabolic reset
GLP-1 support, with a plan for what comes after
Medically supervised GLP-1 therapy paired with protein-first nutrition and resistance training coaching, so the result is lean, durable change, not just a lower number that reverses the moment treatment stops.
Physician evaluation • Precision dosing • Lean muscle protocol • Weekly coaching
Peptide protocols
Support for the parts GLP-1s don't cover
Peptide protocols to protect lean muscle, support recovery from more consistent movement, and keep your energy steady through a calorie deficit, matched to your goals under physician oversight.
NAD+ energy support • Sermorelin growth & vitality • Tissue repair • Deep sleep protocols
Why we don't just hand you a prescription
Biology opens a window. What you do inside it decides the outcome.
GLP-1s and peptides remove the biological brake, but they don't build the road. Every client moves through the same five phases, and the plan that works in week one isn't the plan that works in month six.
Excitement & hope
Early motivation is high. We set the foundation so it lasts.
Adjustment
Side effects and routine changes surface. We coach through them.
Rapid progress
Results accelerate. We protect lean muscle and momentum.
Plateau & doubt
Progress slows. This is where most people quit alone.
Maintenance
The goal shifts from losing to keeping. Identity catches up.
Targeted Peptide Protocols
Medically supervised peptide therapies that address recovery, deep sleep, tissue preservation, and mental clarity alongside weight reduction.
NAD+
Coenzyme therapy
Supports cellular energy production, helping offset the fatigue that can come with eating less.
Sermorelin
GHRH analogue
Supports the body's natural growth hormone production, protecting lean muscle as fat comes off.
Glutathione
Master antioxidant
The body's master antioxidant, supporting detoxification and skin health through weight change.
DSIP
Delta sleep peptide
Supports deep, restorative sleep, which plays a bigger role in weight regulation than most people realize.
GHK-Cu
Collagen & tissue sequence
Supports skin firmness, collagen, and tissue repair, which matters as your body changes shape.
Semax / Selank
Nootropic peptide
Supports mental clarity and a steadier mood through the stress of changing how you eat and train.
BPC-157
Cellular repair sequence
Promotes rapid soft tissue recovery, tendon resilience, and gastric mucosa healing under active training load.
AOD-9604
Lipolytic pathway peptide
Stimulates lipolytic pathway activation without adverse glycemic spikes, aiding targeted fat breakdown.

Why PHD
Backed by a physician. Guided by a coach.
Physician-directed
Every treatment plan is reviewed and directed by a licensed physician before anything is prescribed. We never diagnose or adjust medication without clinical oversight.
PHD coaches
Your PHD coach is there for guidance and accountability, focused on habits, consistency, macronutrient timing, and the parts medication can't do alone.
Private by default
Your health information is routed to our care team through secure channels only. It's never discussed publicly or shared without your explicit consent.
