    Peptides, FDA, The Law, and Provider Risk: What Every Clinician Must Know

    In this essential episode of the Tier One Podcast, we sit down with healthcare attorney David “DJ” Holt, owner of Holt Law Firm, to clarify the legal realities of peptide prescribing in the United States—and the serious risks many providers are unknowingly taking. Peptides are rapidly growing in popularity across medical spas, wellness clinics, anti-aging practices, and online platforms, yet much of what is being promoted on social media directly contradicts federal law. This episode is not about whether peptides work or their future potential—it is about what is legal today, and what can expose providers to loss of licensure, malpractice exclusion, civil liability, and even criminal enforcement. David Holt explains how the FDA regulates peptides, why most popular peptides (including those labeled “research use only”) cannot be legally prescribed or compounded, and why malpractice insurance will not protect providers who ignore these rules. We also discuss the growing role of state medical boards, boards of pharmacy, customs seizures, and FTC enforcement, especially as peptide advertising continues to explode online. If you are a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, clinic owner, or healthcare entrepreneur, this episode provides critical clarity that could protect your license, your business, and your future. ____________ www.tier1hw.com https://djholtlaw.com/the-unregulated-world-of-peptides-what-you-need-to-know-before-you-inject/
