    How To Get Started With Peptides And Orthobiologics In Your Practice

    What if you could finally understand how to use orthobiologics and peptides without crossing regulatory lines? What’s stopping your clinic from offering peptides for healing joints in a legal and efficient way? And how do you actually combine regenerative medicine with real-world protocols for better patient outcomes? In this conversation with Dr. Roddy McGee, I sit down to dissect what clinics need to know right now if they want to successfully adopt orthobiologic therapy, peptides for injury recovery, and regenerative tools like PRP injections without getting lost in compliance chaos. If you’re a practitioner already offering PRP or exploring regenerative medicine in orthopedics, this video gives you a front-row seat to the nuances of peptides therapy—what works, what’s legal, what’s next. We talk about real cases, where peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 may actually help in tissue healing, what stacks are showing promise for tendon and joint recovery, and what’s hype versus what’s helpful. Dr. McGee walks through the logistics—storage, patient guidance, sourcing compounds, and how to start slow while planning for what may soon become standard of care. You’ll also hear the honest truth about the hurdles clinics face—why sourcing best peptides for healing injuries isn’t straightforward, how evolving FDA guidelines complicate implementation, and how to prepare your practice now to pivot quickly as laws change. I also touch on the systems we’ve built—from consults to cash-based pricing—to help physicians transition into regenerative medicine with clarity and structure. Whether you’re looking to accelerate muscle tear recovery or simply want a smarter workflow for PRP online courses and injections, this conversation gives you an inside look. If you’ve been curious about “what is orthobiologics” and how it ties into peptides for injury—this is where you start. Ready to get real with your practice? Let’s connect!
