10 Essential tips for a smooth move

The good news? There’s a newer crop of anti-aging drugs that some docs claim are safer and deliver many of the same benefits as HGH. These injectable synthetic peptides, including tesamorelin and ipamorelin, increase your body’s natural production of growth hormone (rather than flooding the system with synthetic forms of the stuff) and are slightly more affordable. Josh Trutt, M.D., and Erica Walters, M.D., the husband-and-wife team behind Tribeca Wellness Collective, a concierge medical practice in New York, say they’ve been using them on patients for the past two years with compelling results. “With injectable peptides, I’ve seen significant changes in body composition in as few as three weeks,” says Trutt, noting that patients in his practice also committed to exercising at least three times a week. Heather Wyse, a Manhattan real estate sales director, says that when Trutt put her on one of the peptides, she immediately felt more energized.

“I started walking 38 blocks to work every day,” she says. Soon Wyse was able to zip up a Marc Jacobs dress that had languished in her closet for months. She also noticed beauty benefits: “My hair filled in, and my skin was more radiant.”
