Work With Your Biology, Not Against It

Your body already runs on signaling molecules — short chains of amino acids, coenzymes, and antioxidants that tell cells when to repair, when to produce energy, and when to make hormones. Our bio-optimization programs are built around compounds your body already recognizes.

Each program is a compounded medication prepared by a licensed pharmacy under a physician’s prescription, reviewed for your specific history, and shipped directly to you. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Dr. Curran and our Edgewater team help you decide where to focus, coordinate your plan, and track your progress. A licensed physician makes every medical decision. Think of it as part of a whole-body approach: movement, nutrition, sleep, strength training, chiropractic care, and physician-reviewed support where appropriate.

Choose Your Focus

Every program is physician-reviewed and shipped to your door. Start with one priority, or ask Dr. Curran about combining programs.

Tissue Recovery

Support your body's natural healing after injury or surgery.

Programs built around compounds studied in preclinical research for their role in the body's tissue repair signaling. Designed to complement, not replace, mobility work, PulseWave, nutrition, and sleep.

    4-week cycle

    $195

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about bio-optimization programs

They are physician-reviewed medical programs built around compounds your body already uses as signaling molecules — short chains of amino acids, coenzymes, and antioxidants. Several have been studied in preclinical and early clinical research for their roles in tissue repair signaling, cellular energy, hormone production, and skin biology. The programs we offer are compounded by a licensed pharmacy and reviewed by a licensed physician. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
That is the physician's decision. You start with a free consultation at our Edgewater office and complete a structured health assessment. A licensed physician reviews your intake, including your health history, current medications, and lab results where relevant, and decides whether a program is appropriate for you. Some programs, such as hormone support, are paired with a lab panel first. You are charged for medication only after physician approval. These programs are available to Maryland residents.
A licensed physician screens every intake for contraindications before approving a program, and a nurse Care Team is available by text for medication and side-effect questions throughout. Common side effects are usually mild and often limited to the injection site. These programs are not for everyone, which is exactly why a physician makes the decision rather than our office.
No. Most programs are a small subcutaneous injection you give yourself at home, similar to how many people manage daily medications. Your program ships with step-by-step injection instructions, and the Care Team teaches you the technique and answers questions by text. Dosing and schedule come from the prescribing physician and the label on your vial — never from our office or this website.
Programs range from $195 to $305 per cycle, with the Epithalon Wellness Course at $1,165. Each price covers the compounded medication (not FDA-approved), physician oversight, shipping, and ongoing medical support. A one-time $499 Compass Assessment Fee covers your account setup and evaluation and may be waived — ask at your consultation. CareCredit financing is available.
It is a one-time $499 fee that covers your account setup, structured health assessment, and physician evaluation. It is separate from the program price and is often waived for patients who enroll at their consultation — ask Dr. Curran about current waiver eligibility.
Often, yes. Many patients pair a recovery program with PulseWave for a joint or tendon, or combine cellular wellness and antioxidant support. Whether a combination is appropriate is the physician's call based on your history and goals. Dr. Curran will help you map out priorities at your consultation so you are not trying to do everything at once.
It depends on the program and the person. Programs are structured as 4-week or 8-week cycles because that is a reasonable window to evaluate how your body is responding. We track your progress at check-ins and the physician decides whether to continue, adjust, or stop. Individual results may vary.
Gray-market products carry no assurance of purity, concentration, or sterility, and no physician reviewing whether they are appropriate for you. Our programs are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy under a physician's prescription, with a Care Team available for questions. That is the difference between a medical program and a guess.

Important Information

All programs are compounded by a licensed pharmacy and reviewed by a licensed physician. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Individual results may vary. These programs are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

In 2023 the FDA placed several of the compounds used in these programs in a category it flagged for additional review. In 2026 the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee recommended that several of them be permitted for pharmacy compounding, but a final FDA rule has not been issued as of this writing. A licensed physician decides whether a program is appropriate for you. Dr. Derek Curran, D.C. and Dr. Eric Schmitt, D.C. are chiropractors; our office coordinates your program and does not prescribe. Testosterone replacement is not offered. Available to Maryland residents.

Flexible Payment Plans Available
