Retatrutide is generating a lot of excitement—but it is not currently available for routine patient treatment.

Retatrutide is a once-weekly “triple agonist” targeting three receptors:

🍽️ GLP-1 for appetite control, fullness, and reduced food intake
⚙️ GIP for insulin response, glucose control, and metabolic regulation
🔥 Glucagon for energy expenditure and fat metabolism

Semaglutide targets GLP-1, while tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and GIP. Retatrutide adds the glucagon receptor, which means it may both reduce calorie intake and influence how the body uses and burns energy. This triple action is why it is gaining so much attention.

Eli Lilly plans to submit retatrutide through a Biologics License Application, or BLA, in early 2027.

Why does this matter?

Biologics are regulated through a separate federal pathway and are not eligible for the usual 503A or 503B compounding exemptions. A compounding pharmacy cannot legally purchase bulk retatrutide and prepare it for patient use.

Today, there is no legal pharmacy source of retatrutide for routine treatment. Anything currently sold online as “retatrutide,” “Reta,” or “research use only” is not FDA approved or legally compounded for human use. Its identity, strength, sterility, and quality may not be verified.

The planned BLA also raises questions about how other peptides may be classified and whether this could limit future pharmacy compounding and patient access.

We will be watching this closely while continuing to prioritize legal sourcing, quality, and patient safety.

✨ Now booking: The Lip Booster ✨

This new treatment is designed for patients who want softer, smoother, more hydrated lips—without adding noticeable volume or creating a “filled” appearance. 💧

It can help improve:

💧 Dry or dehydrated lips
✨ Fine lines and creasing
🤍 Rough or uneven texture
👄 Overall softness and lip quality

For best results, we recommend beginning with a series of 3–4 treatments spaced approximately 2–3 weeks apart. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 2–3 months.

Your lips—just smoother, healthier-looking, and naturally refreshed. 🤍

We are now booking Lip Booster appointments and treatment series! Contact Morning Rose or book through our patient portal to reserve your appointment. ✨

One of the best parts of this season of life is watching your kids grow into people you genuinely love spending time with. Family vacations look a little different these days, but somehow they mean even more.

Grateful for the laughter, the conversations, the memories, and the reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is step away and be fully present.

Back to work tomorrow with a full heart. 🤍

Day 2 is complete, and the results are encouraging.

After two days of FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee meetings, 6 of the 7 peptides reviewed received favorable recommendations to move forward in the regulatory process.

This doesn’t mean they’re FDA approved or immediately available, but it does represent meaningful progress. It’s a positive step toward creating a clearer, more regulated pathway for access through licensed compounding pharmacies instead of the gray market.

This has been a long time coming, and while there is still work ahead, it’s exciting to see movement in the right direction.

I’ll continue sharing updates as the FDA works through the next phase of the process.

This is a big step in the right direction for peptide medicine. 👏

Yesterday, the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee voted to recommend several peptides—including BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and MOTS-C—for consideration on the 503A Bulks List. Today, the committee is reviewing additional peptides, including Semax, Epitalon, and DSIP (Emideltide).

While these votes do not mean FDA approval or immediate availability, they are an important milestone. It signals that these peptides are continuing to move through the regulatory process rather than being dismissed outright.

For those of us who have been following peptide research and their potential role in regenerative medicine, recovery, gut health, metabolic health, and brain health, this is encouraging news. There is still work to be done, but this is a meaningful step toward expanding access through legitimate, regulated compounding pharmacies in the future.

I’ll continue following today’s meeting and any future FDA decisions so I can keep you updated with clear, evidence-based information as things develop.

From the day we opened our doors, one of the most common things we heard was, “Your office smells amazing.” That became the inspiration behind creating our very own signature candle—so you can bring a little piece of Morning Rose home with you.

Thoughtfully crafted, elevated, and hand-poured, this candle reflects the warmth, comfort, and calm we hope every patient feels the moment they walk through our doors.

A heartfelt thank you to Scena for helping bring this vision to life. Their craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail made it possible to create a scent that truly feels like Morning Rose.

Our Signature Candle is now available in the office. We can’t wait for you to experience it. 🤍

If your pharmacy has told you your estradiol patch is on backorder, you’re definitely not alone.

We’re seeing a nationwide manufacturer shortage affecting many patients. Before assuming you’re out of options, try calling a few different pharmacies—inventory often varies depending on the wholesaler they use.

If you’re still having trouble, don’t discontinue your hormone therapy on your own. There are several alternatives we can consider, including different manufacturers, mail-order pharmacies, or other estrogen formulations.

We’ll help you find the best option so your treatment isn’t interrupted.

Low libido isn’t always a hormone problem.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that once estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are optimized, your libido should automatically return. While hormones are often the foundation, they aren’t always the entire story.

Sexual wellness is influenced by your brain, your nervous system, blood flow, stress, sleep, emotional connection, and overall metabolic health.

For some women, additional therapies like oxytocin, PT-141, or compounded arousal creams can help bridge that gap when hormones alone aren’t enough.

✔ Oxytocin supports connection, intimacy, and or****ic response.
✔ PT-141 works on the brain’s desire pathways—not your hormone levels.
✔ Topical arousal creams increase local blood flow and sensitivity to enhance arousal and pleasure.

The goal isn’t simply to increase libido—it’s to help you feel connected, confident, and like yourself again.

Women’s sexual health deserves the same thoughtful, evidence-based conversations as every other aspect of medicine. You don’t have to accept “this is just part of getting older.”

If this is something you’ve been struggling with, know that there are options, and most importantly, there is hope.

Testosterone is often overlooked in conversations about women’s health, but it plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass, supporting metabolic health, preserving bone density, and promoting energy, motivation, and vitality.

As testosterone declines with age, many women notice changes in body composition, strength, recovery, mood, and libido.

When clinically appropriate, testosterone replacement can be a valuable tool to help support healthy aging, maintain muscle, and improve overall quality of life.

Because muscle is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and longevity, preserving it matters.
