CognitiveMe Peptides

Stress doesn’t just live in your schedule.
It lives in your nervous system.

When chronic stress becomes the baseline, patients often experience persistent anxiety, irritability, poor sleep, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm. Over time, this dysregulation affects focus, resilience, decision-making, and overall well-being.

Semax $185/Month

Semax supports sharp cognitive output, focus, and mental clarity by enhancing BDNF and dopaminergic activity. Best for patients experiencing brain fog or declining mental performance who want sustained cognitive function without stimulants.

Selank $185/Month

Selank regulates stress response and calms the nervous system at the neurological level. Best for patients whose cognitive decline is driven by anxiety, chronic stress, or mental fatigue. Often prescribed alongside Semax to address both performance and regulation together.

EnergizeMe Peptides

Most age-related decline doesn’t start with hormones or weight gain — it starts inside the mitochondria.Mitochondria are the energy centers inside every cell. They determine how efficiently your body converts food into energy, how well you respond to exercise, how quickly you recover, and how resilient you feel under stress. When mitochondrial function declines, patients often experience persistent fatigue, stubborn weight gain, poor workout response, brain fog, and accelerated aging — even when labs appear “normal.”MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide designed to restore that lost cellular communication.

MOTS-c $225/month

SS-31 as a standalone option $345/cycle

EnergizeMe Stack (MOTS-c + SS-31) – Premium Energy Optimization: $275/month

RenewMe Peptides

Aging doesn’t happen overnight — but the signals that drive it do change.RenewMe is built around GHK-Cu therapy, a powerful copper peptide used in regenerative medicine to support skin repair, hair growth, and cellular renewal.Patients can complete this protocol up to 4 times per year, with most patients experiencing benefits at 2-4 cycles per year

    “When I first learned of Integrative Medicine, I was extremely uncomfortable with hot flashes and night sweats among other menopausal symptoms. I was skeptical and spent a lot of time deciding to even look for a doctor. Once I finally decided to give it a try I found Dr. Varano, who was not only within reasonable travel distance, but he was the only one I could find that was doing what I was willing to try. I was looking for help getting rid of hot flashes and night sweats. I was extremely nervous while waiting for the date of my first appointment.

  • I first discovered BodyLogic MD when I was very frustrated with my Hypothyroid symptoms which had been bad and getting worse for over 20 years. I ignored them as best I could. Finally, they were so severe I was desperate. I believed the health system was failing me. I am an RN and my specialty for many years was disease management and yet I was not managing my own health. I also have been a pharmaceutical Representative. As a firm believer that we all need to be our own health advocates, I researched treatment options. I decided to reach out to a BodyLogic MD. My understanding was these physicians are highly trained hormone replacement physicians. I reached out to Dr Varano and within 24 hours of his prescribed RX plan I was sleeping at night for the first time in 20 years! What a blessing. My GI symptoms were immediately managed as well. I woke up in the morning feeling "alive" again. Thank you Dr Varano.

  • When I first learned of Integrative Medicine, I was extremely uncomfortable with hot flashes and night sweats among other menopausal symptoms. I was skeptical and spent a lot of time deciding to even look for a Dr. Once I finally decided to give it a try I found Dr Varano, who was not only within a reasonable travel but he was the only one I could find that was doing what I was willing to try. I was looking for help getting rid of hot flashes and night sweats. I was extremely nervous while waiting for the date of my first appointment. Just walking thru the door for that first appointment was hard. The office staff immediately made me feel comfortable and my nervousness lessened. I still had to meet Dr Varano, so I'd not say my nervousness was completely gone. But within 5 minutes of talking with him I could feel my stress level decreasing. He is so easy to talk to and I can't even begin to explain how much he has helped me. The hot flashes are rare, the night sweats are almost non existent. I know it will get even better, as we are still trying to get the dosages to what I need. I can't say enough good things about Dr Varano and his staff. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

  • I have been quite happy with Dr Varano. He has given me my life back and his staff could not be more helpful

  • Dr. Varano has been wonderful, from the long appointment times, truly taking the time to devote to discussing my care, thoroughly going through all the blood work and test results to explaining basically how the body works and answering any and all questions - it has been an amazing experience so far. I've never felt better and I'm getting better by the day. Thank you Dr. Varano and your wonderful staff!!

  • I have been a patient of Dr Varano's for several years now and have never felt better. He and the staff (especially Ashley and Jessica) have always been very friendly, professional, and proactive. Whenever I have questions they respond promptly and effectively. They are very accomodating with scheduling changes. As stated, the last several years have been eye opening for me. I have never felt better and highly recommend their services.

  • I've been seeing Dr. Varano for just over a year now, and I don't think I've been this healthy and energetic since grade school. I've been trudging through a multitude of interrelated health and hormonal issues since I was a teen, and while I've seen over 2 dozen doctors for these particular issues, nobody -- nobody! -- has spent as much time with me and done so much in the realm of customized care. He spends the time to make sure that my husband and I both understand everything, and I've never felt awkward asking him questions. Yes, it is expensive since insurance doesn't cover much, but I haven't been to the ER a single time since starting treatment (I was averaging once a month or more since I was 16), and that is a huge savings in and of itself!!Not only is Dr. Varano awesome, but his staff! They should all win an award of some type. I have fairly frequent questions both in the office and between appointments, and they always spend the time to make sure I understand everything and that the questions are answered. They are all so kind, and I've never felt rushed or pressured to do anything.To the whole office -- THANK YOU for giving me my life back! I thought I was destined to be sick forever, but you've changed that! Thank you!!

  • Cutting edge medical care, caring and compassionate medical and office staff. As a physician myself, I highly recommend personalized care at this practice.

  • I have been seeing Dr Varano for over six years now. His experience and knowledge has me feeling as if I am 40 again. Now at 60 years of age my strength, stamina and confidence is inspiring those around me to follow the same path.

  • I have been a patient for past seven years. Dr. Varano Barb Ashley and Jessica are a super team. Collectively they take ensure my treatment plan is being followed and Dr Varano will adjust when necessary. Since starting with this practice my life has changed for the better. I would recommend that anyone who is age 40 or older female or male would benefit from a consultation and any testing they may recommend. Since starting here I have experienced a decrease in pain with my RA as well as better quality of sleep and decrease in my sugar levels. Aging can be a very positive experience when you are given the right medical advice and are provided with the appropriate tools. Dr. Varano is a 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend him to anyone.

  • Had an appointment with Barb Dougherty at YoungerMeMD first the first time. Loved her. Wonderful to connect with a woman who understands the ups and downs of aging and how HRT can help. She is a great listener, and definitely knows how to implant the testosterone pellet with no discomfort during, and virtually undetectable aftereffects (except the bandage). I will definitely being seeing her again!

  • Can't say enough good things about YougerMeMD! Dr. Verano is a gifted practitioner and the staff, including Jessica & Ashley, are wonderfully courteous, professional, competent and extremely communicative...That having been said, I'm 64 and when I began 2 years ago, I was very cynical with regard to the potential benefits/costs of YoungerMeMD's various anti-aging programs...But the reality is that Dr Verano has crafted a comprehensive, leading-edge set of evaluation metrics, tests and treatment protocols that are based upon proven clinical data & studies. IMHO, the program's efficacy is clear.The bottom line is that I am substantially healthier & more energetic these days; And there is clear correlation with YoungerMeMD's treatment plan.In summary, I couldn't be more pleased with both the experience and the treatment outcomes. 6 stars out of 5 for this outstanding practice; Nicely done!
