When you source online, you're on your own — no clinical evaluation, no oversight, and no one to call if something feels off. You're trusting a website to tell you what's right for your body. Through PainterMed, everything runs through a licensed clinician. Michael evaluates your history and goals, designs a protocol specific to you, and monitors how it's working with real follow-up. You're not guessing from a forum thread — you have an experienced PA-C in your corner throughout. That's the difference: not a product you order, but a clinical relationship with someone accountable for your care.

More than most. Rather than a fixed menu, Michael designs each protocol around your specific goals — which is why the consultation comes first.

The proprietary stacks:

KLOW — The flagship repair protocol. Designed for recovery, gut health, and the patient whose body stopped responding the way it should.

Wolverine — Focused recovery support for acute strain, athletic demand, and structural repair.

GLOW — The aesthetic protocol. Skin, hair, and cellular renewal. Pairs naturally with the longevity and women's health track.

Individual protocols:

Beyond the signature stacks, Michael works with a range of therapies targeting specific goals: metabolic health and body composition, recovery and sleep quality, cellular energy, cognitive clarity, longevity, sexual wellness, and more.

Which therapy is right for you is a clinical decision — made during your consultation, based on your history, your goals, and what's actually appropriate for your biology. Nothing is prescribed off a template, and nothing is determined without an evaluation.

Just come ready to talk. Have a general idea of what you've been researching, what your goals are, and any relevant health history. Michael has had this conversation hundreds of times — you don't need to prepare a presentation. The more honest you are about where you are, the better the protocol he can build.

The deposit secures your appointment time. If peptides aren't the right fit after your consult, it's fully refunded. If you move forward, it's applied toward your protocol cost. If you no-show, the deposit is kept. Simple as that.

Most patients consult within a few days of booking. After your consultation, if Michael determines a protocol is right for you, he'll walk you through the next steps and timeline. Most people go from first reaching out to getting started within one to two weeks.

No. Everything is telemedicine — the consult is a video call, and Michael manages your care remotely wherever you are in Florida. If you're in the state, you're covered.
