Methylene blue isn't a single-dose compound — the goal drives the protocol. 🔵

At low doses (typically 1–4 mg/day), methylene blue supports mitochondrial function and general energy metabolism. This is the range most patients start with when we introduce it as part of a longevity or cognitive support protocol.

At higher doses — 25 to 75 mg — research suggests it can begin to reduce tau protein formations and amyloid plaques, the pathological features associated with cognitive decline. This is a meaningfully different therapeutic target.

However, higher doses carry real considerations. Before starting at these levels, patients require a G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) test. Without this, high-dose methylene blue can trigger hemolytic anemia — a potentially serious complication.

Methylene blue can be administered both orally and intravenously. Our team works with your full health picture to determine the appropriate dose, route, and monitoring protocol.

Decisions are based on your health history and bloodwork — not internet protocols.

BPC-157 comes in more than one form — and which one we recommend depends on your goals. 💉

The injectable format is the most popular for good reason: it delivers the highest bioavailability, meaning more of the peptide reaches your system. For patients focused on systemic healing, tissue repair, or performance recovery, this is generally what we recommend.

That said, we also offer BPC-157 in an oral capsule. The oral form is particularly effective for patients working on GI tract healing — it acts locally in the gut but also has meaningful systemic absorption. It's also a practical option for patients who travel frequently, prefer to avoid refrigeration, or simply don't want to self-inject.

The goal is simple: find the delivery method that fits your lifestyle and gives your body what it needs. Our approach is always individualized — we work with your health history and preferences to choose the right format and protocol for you.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) eye drops are created using the body’s own regenerative properties.

The process—from blood draw to finished treatment—takes under 30 minutes and is completed entirely in a controlled clinical setting.

• Collection – a small blood sample is drawn
• Separation – high-speed centrifugation isolates platelet-rich plasma from other components
• Concentration – growth factors are preserved and concentrated
• Preparation – PRP is transferred into sterile dropper vials
• Storage – multiple vials are frozen to maintain potency over time

PRP is an autologous treatment, meaning it is derived from the patient’s own blood. This approach is used to support ocular surface health and tissue regeneration over a structured, multi-month protocol.

Honest answer about peptide research — and why we think that's actually a good thing. 🔬

Every peptide we offer at our Kelowna clinic is authorized for use by Health Canada. That means there is established safety data behind each one. What's harder to come by in the peptide world is large-scale clinical efficacy data — and here's why.

Most peptides are naturally derived molecules. They can't be patented. Without patent protection, pharmaceutical companies have no financial incentive to fund the large clinical trials required to produce wide-scale efficacy claims. So the data we rely on comes from patient feedback, case reports, and the careful documentation we gather within our clinic.

That's exactly why we're working to establish clinical data circles — to build standardized, documented medical feedback that allows for proper, evidence-based claims.

We believe in being transparent about what the science shows and what it doesn't — yet. Our decisions are based on your health history, your bloodwork, and physician oversight. Not internet protocols.

Over-the-counter eye drops can provide temporary relief—but they don’t address the underlying biology of dry eye.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a regenerative approach by using the body’s own healing factors.

• Temporary vs. restorative – lubricants hydrate, PRP supports tissue repair
• Autologous treatment – created from your own blood
• Growth factor delivery – concentrated platelets target the ocular surface
• Advanced care – designed for longer-term support beyond standard options

This approach is used in clinical settings to help restore and maintain ocular surface health through personalized treatment protocols.

Not all peptides are created equal — and the difference comes down to where they're made. 🔬

At our private clinic in Kelowna, we work exclusively with a regulated compounding pharmacy that sources ingredients from Health Canada-approved Canadian suppliers. Every peptide we dispense is compounded in full compliance with NAPRA sterility and quality regulations.

This matters because most peptides available online or through the gray market come with no regulatory oversight, no sterility guarantees, and no accountability. We hold our compounds to the same standard as any pharmaceutical product — because that's exactly what your health deserves.

Our selection may be more focused than what you'll find on the internet, but every product we offer comes with verified sourcing, physician oversight, and evidence-based protocols tailored to your individual health history.

This is what physician-led peptide therapy looks like in a regulated setting.

I believe that true longevity begins with slowing down the physiological rate of decline.

Anti-aging medicine is essentially preventative medicine designed to maintain your quality of life as you get older.

In my experience at the Kelowna clinic, early intervention is key to preserving metabolic and physical function. We work with our patients across BC to ensure they remain vibrant and productive. It is a commitment to living longer and living better.

Vision is often reduced to clarity—but 20/20 only reflects one part of overall eye function.

Comprehensive vision care includes three key components:

• Clarity – visual sharpness and need for corrective lenses
• Health – management of conditions such as dry eye and macular degeneration
• Coordination – how the eyes align, track, and focus together

Eye coordination is a neurological function, not just optical. It plays a critical role in reading, screen use, and recovery following brain injury.

Understanding all three areas is essential for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term visual stability.

Maintaining vision is a cornerstone of a high-quality lifestyle in the Okanagan.

Because the eyes are made of the same delicate tissue as the brain, damage from conditions like macular degeneration can be permanent if not caught early.

Moving beyond the standard routine exam allows for a deeper look into the health of the retina and optic nerve. A personalized clinical assessment identifies the unique risk factors for every patient, ensuring that preventative measures are in place to protect vision for a lifetime.
