Physician-Supervised Care
Kisspeptin
Hormone balance depends on upstream signaling. Kisspeptin is the neuropeptide that triggers the hypothalamic cascade controlling LH, FSH, and downstream reproductive hormones. Wellness House NYC in NYC prescribes kisspeptin peptide therapy for patients whose blood work reveals hormonal imbalances affecting fertility, libido, or metabolic regulation.
Dr. Lanna Cheuck, DO, FACS, designs every kisspeptin protocol around lab results. Dosing starts at 100-200 mcg, administered 2-3 times per week, with blood work monitoring every 90 days.

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide encoded by the KISS1 gene. It acts on the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R) in the hypothalamus to stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. GnRH then signals the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
This signaling axis controls testosterone production in men and estrogen-progesterone cycling in women. When kisspeptin signaling weakens, the downstream hormonal chain loses strength. Supplemental kisspeptin restores that upstream signal without directly replacing the hormones themselves.
Wellness House NYC prescribes kisspeptin at 100-200 mcg via subcutaneous injection, 2-3 times per week. Dr. Cheuck selects the dose based on each patient's hormone panel, reproductive goals, and clinical history.
Benefits
Benefits of Kisspeptin
Hormone Balance for Men and Women
Kisspeptin activates the GnRH-LH-FSH axis, supporting natural hormone production rather than replacing it. Men with low testosterone and women with irregular cycles both benefit from restoring this upstream signal. Wellness House NYC monitors hormone panels every 90 days to track response.
Fertility Support
Research identifies kisspeptin as a trigger for ovulation and spermatogenesis through its effect on LH pulsatility. Patients at Wellness House NYC exploring fertility optimization discuss kisspeptin with Dr. Cheuck as part of a broader reproductive health assessment.
Libido and Sexual Health
Kisspeptin receptors are expressed in brain regions associated with sexual arousal and emotional bonding. Clinical studies show exogenous kisspeptin increases limbic brain activity in response to sexual and romantic cues. Wellness House NYC pairs kisspeptin with complementary treatments like PT-141 and PRP Sexual Wellness when appropriate.
Metabolic Regulation
Kisspeptin signaling intersects with metabolic pathways through its influence on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Dr. Cheuck evaluates metabolic markers alongside reproductive hormones to identify patients who may benefit from this secondary effect.
The Process
Our Kisspeptin Process
- 1
Comprehensive Hormone Panel
Dr. Cheuck orders blood work covering LH, FSH, testosterone (total and free), estradiol, progesterone, SHBG, and metabolic markers. These baselines determine whether kisspeptin is the right intervention and which dose range to start with.
- 2
Protocol Design
Based on your labs, Dr. Cheuck prescribes kisspeptin at 100-200 mcg, administered subcutaneously 2-3 times per week. The protocol accounts for your primary goal, whether that is hormone balance, fertility, libido improvement, or metabolic support.
- 3
Self-Administration Training
The clinical team teaches the subcutaneous injection technique during your first visit at Wellness House NYC. Injection supplies and written instructions are included.
- 4
90-Day Monitoring and Adjustment
Repeat hormone panels every three months show how your GnRH-LH-FSH axis responds. Dr. Cheuck adjusts dosing and frequency based on these trends and your clinical feedback.
Who Is a Candidate for Kisspeptin?
Kisspeptin therapy suits men and women experiencing hormone-related symptoms that trace back to weakened upstream signaling. Common presentations include low testosterone with normal pituitary function, irregular menstrual cycles, diminished libido, and suboptimal fertility markers.
Dr. Cheuck requires a full hormone panel before prescribing. Patients with pituitary tumors, hormone-sensitive cancers, or pregnancies are not candidates. Wellness House NYC does not prescribe kisspeptin without completed lab work.
What to Expect During Kisspeptin Therapy
Subcutaneous injections take under two minutes, administered 2-3 times per week at home. Most patients follow a consistent schedule to maintain steady kisspeptin signaling.
Hormone level shifts typically become measurable on blood work within the first 30-60 days. Subjective improvements in energy, libido, and mood may follow as downstream hormones stabilize. Wellness House NYC tracks both lab data and patient-reported outcomes at each 90-day check-in.
Safety and Monitoring
Wellness House NYC requires blood work every 3 months for all peptide therapy patients. For kisspeptin, Dr. Cheuck monitors reproductive hormones, metabolic markers, and liver function.
The Peptide Link governs compound sourcing, dosing guardrails, and monitoring intervals for every peptide at Wellness House NYC. Patients who skip a scheduled lab draw do not receive refills until blood work is current.
FAQ
Common Questions About Kisspeptin
How is kisspeptin different from testosterone replacement?
Kisspeptin stimulates your body's own hormone production by activating the GnRH signaling cascade. Testosterone replacement introduces external hormone directly. Dr. Cheuck at Wellness House NYC uses kisspeptin when the goal is restoring natural production rather than supplementing from outside.
Can men and women both use kisspeptin?
Yes. Kisspeptin acts on the same hypothalamic receptor in both sexes. The downstream hormonal effects differ -- LH drives testosterone in men and supports ovulation in women.
Wellness House NYC tailors the protocol to each patient's hormonal profile.
Does kisspeptin help with fertility?
Kisspeptin influences LH pulsatility, which is directly tied to ovulation and spermatogenesis. Patients at Wellness House NYC pursuing fertility goals discuss kisspeptin as part of a broader reproductive health plan with Dr. Cheuck.
What does kisspeptin cost at Wellness House NYC?
Kisspeptin therapy costs $500 per month at Wellness House NYC. That covers the peptide supply, dosing protocol, and physician oversight.
