Physician-guided peptide consultation in Gainesville, FL
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body and are involved in many biological processes. Certain FDA-approved medications are peptide-based, while other peptide substances may be available only through compounding or may not be appropriate for clinical use.
The term “peptide therapy” therefore does not refer to one medication, one regulatory category or one standard treatment approach.
When a peptide-based option is being considered, Dr. Botha will review the specific medication, its intended clinical purpose, regulatory status, available evidence, potential risks, possible side effects, limitations and available alternatives.
Specialized training in peptide therapy
Dr. Tracey Botha holds Peptide Therapy Certification through the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance (SSRP) Institute, reflecting specialized education in peptide science, clinical applications and individualized treatment planning.
How is clinical appropriateness determined?
Dr. Botha may consider:
Your medical and surgical history
Current medications and supplements
Previous treatments
Relevant laboratory findings
Allergies and previous medication reactions
Potential contraindications and risk factors
Current care from other healthcare professionals
Your questions, preferences and individual goals
Whether appropriate follow-up and monitoring can be completed

Frequently asked questions
Does every patient receive peptide-based medication?
No. A consultation does not guarantee that a peptide-based medication will be prescribed.
Dr. Botha may recommend another prescription option, additional evaluation, continued care with another healthcare professional or no medication at this tim
Are peptide therapies FDA approved?
The answer depends on the specific medication.
Some peptide-based medications are FDA-approved for specific indications. Other products may be compounded and are not FDA-approved. Dr. Botha will explain the status of any medication being considered.
Are compounded peptide medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.
Will the website list the peptides Mooi prescribes?
Specific medication options are discussed privately following evaluation.
Medication availability, regulatory status and clinical appropriateness can change. Publicly listing a product does not provide enough information to determine whether it is appropriate for an individual patient.
Can peptide medications be combined?
Medication selection is determined individually by Dr. Botha. The website does not provide combination, dosing, administration or protocol guidance. Any prescription instructions are provided directly to the patient following evaluation.
Dr. Botha is a Prodrome Elite Provider
Dr. Botha is a Prodrome Elite Provider and offers access to Prodrome testing as part of her physician-led wellness practice.
When relevant, Prodrome testing may be discussed during an individualized consultation. Dr. Botha determines whether testing is clinically appropriate and how any findings should be considered as part of the broader evaluation.
Prodrome testing does not independently establish a diagnosis, determine eligibility for a peptide-based medication or guarantee a particular treatment recommendation or outcome.
