NAD+ & Peptide Therapy in Knoxville

At Fountain of Youth Medical in Knoxville, Lynne Worthington and Tim Fox are committed to therapies that go beyond surface-level changes—addressing your wellness from the cellular level. Two of our most advanced offerings are NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and Peptide Therapy, each designed to support energy, repair, vitality, and sexual/functional performance.

What Is NAD+ Therapy?

NAD+ is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a central role in energy production, DNA repair, mitochondrial health, and metabolic function. As we age or endure chronic stress, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, slowed recovery, and loss of vitality.

At Fountain of Youth Medical, we offer medically-guided NAD+ therapy protocols, customized to your biomarkers and wellness goals. Through infusion or injection formats, we support mitochondrial revitalization, cognitive clarity, improved metabolism, and enhanced overall function.

What Is Peptide Therapy?

Peptides are small chains of amino acids — natural messenger molecules in the body that regulate processes such as hormone release, tissue repair, metabolic response, sexual function, immune regulation, and more.

With peptide therapy at our clinic, we design protocols that:

  • Stimulate hormonal balance and sexual health (for both men & women)
  • Enhance muscle repair, lean mass, and recovery from workouts or injury
  • Support skin regeneration, collagen production, and reduce age-related deterioration
  • Improve mood, energy, slee,p and overall functional performance

Why Combine NAD+ & Peptide Therapy?

Combining NAD+ and peptides can be powerful. While NAD+ addresses fundamental cellular metabolism and mitochondrial health, peptides can fine-tune signaling pathways (hormones, tissue repair, sexual responsiveness), creating a more holistic restoration of function.

At Fountain of Youth Medical, Lynne & Tim build a personalized plan: beginning with diagnostics (lab work, symptom review, goals) → selecting the optimal delivery method → monitoring progress and refining the protocol for results that last.

What Can You Expect?

Initial Consultation: Review of your health history, lifestyle, symptoms (e.g., low energy, sexual function issues, mood changes, poor recovery, etc.)

Diagnostic Testing: Bloodwork and biomarkers to assess NAD+ levels, hormone status, metabolic markers, and relevant peptides

Therapy Selection & Delivery: Depending on your goals, we may recommend NAD+ infusion or injection, peptide injections, and possibly topical peptide applications

Timeline for Results: Many patients begin noticing improved energy, clarity, sexual responsiveness, or better recovery within weeks. More profound changes may take a few months and depend on consistency and overall health.

Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization: We follow up, adjust therapies, and ensure you are getting maximum benefit while maintaining safety and efficacy.

Are You a Good Candidate?

  • You may benefit from NAD+ and/or peptide therapy if you’re experiencing:
  • Persistent fatigue, low energy or brain fog
  • Decline in sexual function, reduced libido, or sensitivity
  • Slowed recovery from exercise or injury
  • Decreased muscle mass, increased fat accumulation
  • Poor sleep, mood disturbance, or slow metabolic function
  • Desire to age with intention and maintain high functional performance
    At Fountain of Youth Medical, we screen carefully and determine whether these therapies align with your overall health picture.

Lipotropic injections are supplements that contain vitamins and nutrients purported to support weight loss. These injections are often used as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan, which includes exercise and a low-calorie diet. Let’s delve into the details:

What Are Lipotropic Injections?
Lipotropic injections typically contain a combination of vitamins, nutrients, and other ingredients. Some standard components include:
Vitamin B12: Considered safe in large quantities, B12 is often included in these injections.
Vitamin B6: Another B-vitamin that plays a role in metabolism.
Vitamin B complex: A group of B-vitamins that support various bodily functions.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Essential for muscle health.
L-carnitine: Involved in fat metabolism.
Phentermine: Sometimes included to suppress appetite.
MIC: A combination of methionine, inositol, and choline.

How Do They Work?
Lipotropic injections work by:
Promoting Healthy Liver Function: This helps with fat metabolism.
Preserving Lean Muscle Mass: Important for overall health and metabolism.
Instructing the Body to Burn Fat: When glycogen stores are low, the body turns to fat for energy.
They may also help reduce liver fat production.

Frequency and Dosage:
If included in your weight loss plan, lipotropic injections are usually administered weekly.
Some practitioners recommend B12 shots up to twice per week for energy and fat metabolism.
Dosages vary based on the specific ingredients used. For example, vitamin B12 (as the sole ingredient) may be administered at 1,000 mg per week.
Treatment duration can span several weeks or months until weight loss goals are achieved.

Fountain of Youth Medical offers OZEMPIC and complimentary consultations to discuss your health and weight loss objectives. During your consultation, Lynne Worthington will explore all available options with you.

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes and, more recently, has been approved for weight management. One of the key benefits of Ozempic is its ability to help control blood sugar levels by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar levels are high. This can lead to improved blood sugar control and reduced risk of complications associated with diabetes. Additionally, Ozempic has been shown to aid in weight loss, making it a valuable option for individuals looking to manage their weight and diabetes.
