The Approach
Wellness Guided by Physician Expertise
At the heart of our wellness program is a physician dedicated to understanding your whole health. Dr. Cristina Del Toro Badessa leads our Comprehensive Wellness program with a focus on functional, integrative medicine.
She begins with your bloodwork and your history, designs a plan specific to what your labs and your life reveal, and refines it over time. The result is a thoughtful, evidence-based partnership centered on measurable progress and how you feel every day.
Candidacy
Is Our Wellness Program Right for You?
Our wellness program is designed for people who want to understand their health more deeply and take a personalized, physician-guided approach.
Your consultation comes with no obligation. Many patients simply want to understand their bloodwork and their options, and that is a wonderful reason to visit.
This is likely a good fit if:
- You are experiencing fatigue, weight changes, sleep issues, mood changes, or low libido and would like to understand the underlying cause
- You want a physician who starts with testing rather than assumptions
- You are willing to do bloodwork and to follow a plan over time, rather than seeking a single visit
- You are a surgical or aesthetic patient who wants to optimize your health around a procedure
- You want ongoing partnership rather than a one-off treatment
The Rationale
Why a Plastic Surgery Practice Runs a Wellness Program
Better Health, Better Results
Patients in good health heal better and get better surgical results. That is well established, and it is the practical reason a surgical practice invests in wellness. Optimizing your hormones, your weight, your nutrition, and your recovery gives any procedure a better foundation, and gives you a better life around it whether or not you ever have surgery.
Complementing Your Care
Our wellness program is designed to support your health and complement your existing care. It works alongside your primary and specialist physicians, and if you have a condition they are managing, we encourage you to keep them involved so your care stays beautifully coordinated.
The Consultation
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first visit is a full 60-minute appointment with our physician, dedicated to discussing your concerns, your family health history, and your lifestyle.
We review any existing bloodwork you bring and order any new bloodwork and imaging your assessment calls for.
From there, your physician builds a Wellness Plan specific to you, which may include hormone or weight optimization, peptides, infusions, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Your consultation comes with no obligation to proceed with treatment.
Choosing
Hormones or Peptides: Which Comes First?
Hormone Optimization
Usually first
- Addresses hormone changes that affect energy, mood, libido, sleep, and body composition.
- Ideal when fatigue, sleep, mood, libido, or body composition are changing and you would like to understand why
- Often the foundation for feeling your best
- Prescribed and monitored, with repeat labs.
Peptide Therapy
Targeted
- Personalized protocols supporting recovery, energy, and healthy aging
- Right when bloodwork has been done and a targeted protocol is warranted.
- Usually a second conversation rather than a first one.
- Compounded and prescribed off-label.
Those are the two most often confused, and there are four other services in the program. Medical weight loss is physician-supervised weight management, including modern medications where appropriate. IV therapy delivers vitamins and nutrients intravenously. NAD+ infusion is a separate infusion protocol. And the wellness consultation itself is where all of them start. Most patients who ask us about peptides have not had their hormones tested. That is usually where we begin.
Ongoing
Ongoing Support, Every Step of the Way
Your care does not end after your first visit. Your physician follows a thoughtful cycle of testing, treatment, retesting, and adjustment, so your plan evolves with your body and your goals over time.
The Program
Our Wellness Services
Our wellness program is a set of services that work together. Here is each one and what it is for. Your consultation determines which of them actually belong in your plan.
Wellness Consultation
The 60-minute physician sit-down and bloodwork review where your plan begins. Everyone starts here.
Hormone Optimization
Addressing hormone changes that affect energy, mood, libido, sleep, and body composition.
Medical Weight Loss
Physician-supervised weight management, including modern medications where appropriate.
Peptide Therapy
Personalized peptide protocols guided by your bloodwork, supporting recovery, energy, and healthy aging.
IV Therapy
Intravenous vitamin and nutrient infusions.
NAD+ Infusion
A slow infusion of NAD+, a coenzyme your cells use for energy and repair, supporting cellular energy, mental clarity, and healthy aging.
Most people arrive with a symptom rather than a service in mind. Persistent fatigue, low energy, or brain fog is often a hormone and bloodwork conversation first. Weight you cannot shift despite doing the right things is usually medical weight loss, frequently alongside a hormone assessment. Low libido, mood changes, poor sleep, or the sense that something shifted with age is hormone optimization. Wanting to recover better from surgery means a plan built around your procedure and timeline. And general optimization with no single complaint means the full consultation and panel first. Notice that nearly every path starts in the same place. Nearly every path begins in the same place, with a thoughtful look at your health first, so your plan is built entirely around you.

FAQ
Wellness FAQs
What wellness services do you offer?
Wellness consultations and follow-ups, hormone optimization and replacement therapy, medical weight loss, peptide therapy, IV infusions, and NAD+ infusion therapy. Your consultation determines which of these belong in your plan.
Where do I start?
With the consultation. It is a 60-minute sit-down with our physician, a review of your history and bloodwork, and a plan built specifically for you. Nearly every path through this program starts there, because your labs decide the specifics.
Who leads the program?
Dr. Cristina Del Toro Badessa, a board-certified physician with a focus on functional, integrative medicine. She begins with testing to create a plan designed entirely around you.
Do I have to commit to treatment to have a consultation?
No. The consultation commits you to nothing. Many patients come simply to understand their bloodwork and their options.
Is this a replacement for my regular doctor?
No. This program complements the care you receive from your primary and specialist physicians. It does not replace it, and if you have a condition that needs their management, keep them in the loop.
Can wellness help me prepare for or recover from surgery?
Yes, and it is one reason a surgical practice offers it. Patients in good health tend to heal better and achieve better surgical outcomes. We can build a plan around your procedure and your timeline.
Will I get a prescription at my first visit?
Not before your results are in. Your first visit is for listening and testing: a 60-minute conversation about your concerns, history, and lifestyle, plus a review of any bloodwork you bring and an order for anything new your assessment calls for. Your plan, and anything it includes, comes from those results.
Can I start with peptides or IV therapy?
Every path starts with the consultation, because your labs decide the specifics. Most patients who ask about peptides haven’t had their hormones tested, and that’s usually where we begin. If a targeted protocol or an infusion is warranted, it becomes part of your plan from there rather than being picked off a menu.
Do I have to be a surgery patient?
No. Patients in good health do heal better and get better surgical results, which is why a surgical practice offers this program. But the same foundation of hormones, weight, nutrition, and recovery supports a better life whether or not you ever have surgery.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Any recent bloodwork you already have. We’ll review it so you don’t repeat testing unnecessarily, and order anything new your assessment calls for. Beyond that, come ready to talk about your concerns, any health conditions that run in your family, and your lifestyle, because that’s what the hour is for.
