Who Will Prescribe Your Peptides?
Your prescribing provider, Dr. Kent Cohen, is verified in the federal CMS National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) under NPI 1700945060, with a primary specialty of Emergency Medicine and a primary practice address in Lawrenceville, GA. CMS records show this NPI has been active since 2006. NPPES record verified 2026-05-08.
What this means for you: In the US, any actively state-licensed physician can legally prescribe compounded peptides — board certification in a specific specialty isn’t required for peptide prescriptions. Emergency Medicine training emphasizes acute clinical decision-making; many EM physicians transition into wellness and longevity practices where they apply that diagnostic background to peptide protocols.

Is Balanced Bodies the right fit for you?
✓ Choose Balanced Bodies if:
- You’re in or willing to travel to Marietta — peptide therapy generally requires in-person consultation and ongoing follow-ups.
- You want a physician-led practice (MD/DO).
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You need to start treatment within the same week. Most peptide programs require baseline labs (1-3 days) plus pharmacy fulfillment (a few more days) before your first dose — plan on 1-3 weeks from consult call to first injection.
- You’re shopping primarily on price and need per-compound rates published up front. Most clinics share specific pricing only on the consult call. Use our cost calculator above for ballpark estimates and confirm specifics with the clinic.
- You want a wide compound menu to compare protocols — this listing names only 1 specific compound, narrower than the median clinic.
- You want a clinic that publicly states its 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy — this listing doesn’t disclose sourcing.
What to Expect at Your First Balanced Bodies Appointment
- Initial consultation / intake — typically 30–60 minutes reviewing medical history, goals, current medications, and prior labs.
- Baseline lab work — most clinics require labs before prescribing growth-hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, Sermorelin) and GLP-1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide), since those compounds modulate endocrine and metabolic pathways. Tissue-repair peptides (BPC-157, TB-500), sexual-wellness peptides (PT-141), and topical compounds are sometimes prescribed without labs. This listing doesn’t explicitly state lab requirements, so confirm on your consult call which panels they require for your specific protocol. Even when labs aren’t strictly required, they’re a smart personal baseline. See our guide to peptide therapy lab work for what to ask about.
- Protocol design — based on what’s published, your provider may select from: NAD+. Final selection depends on your goals, lab results, and any contraindications.
- Prescription written + sent to compounding pharmacy — The clinic doesn’t publicly state its 503A or 503B sourcing, so confirm fulfillment timing on your consult call (in-state-only vs. nationwide; compounded-after-Rx vs. pre-batched).
- Self-administration training — for injectable peptides, the clinic walks you through subcutaneous injection technique, needle handling, refrigeration, and rotation sites.
- Follow-up — typically a 4–6 week check-in to assess response, side effects, and whether dose or compound needs adjustment.
Most Balanced Bodies patients report the consult-to-first-injection window runs 1–3 weeks depending on lab turnaround and pharmacy fulfillment.
What to Ask on Your Balanced Bodies Consult Call
The questions below are pulled from the gaps in this specific listing — areas the clinic doesn’t publicly answer that you should clarify before booking. Each one is designed to get you a useful answer in 30 seconds or less.
- “Are there other peptides you can prescribe that aren’t published on your listing?” The clinic names 1 compound publicly — most clinics offer more than they advertise.
- “Is your compounding pharmacy 503A or 503B, and which specific pharmacy do you use?” The class affects whether your prescription is custom-compounded (503A) or pre-batched (503B), and whether they can ship across state lines.
- “How long has the clinical lead been prescribing peptides specifically?” A long medical career doesn’t always mean long peptide-specific experience — those are different track records.
- “Which lab panels do you require for the protocol you’d recommend for me?” Clinics typically require baseline labs for hormone-modulating compounds (semaglutide, tirzepatide, growth-hormone secretagogues) and may skip them for some tissue-repair or topical compounds. Knowing your clinic’s specific lab requirements helps you compare to peers — and even when not required, baseline labs are smart personal protection.
- “What’s the total first-month cost — consult fee, labs, and initial prescription combined?” First-month all-in is usually 1.5–2× the recurring monthly cost. Ask for an itemized breakdown.
- “Is follow-up telehealth-friendly, or are in-person visits required at every milestone?” The listing doesn’t mention telehealth — important to know if you travel or move.
- “From my consult to my first injection, how long is the typical timeline?” Lab turnaround + pharmacy fulfillment usually means 1–3 weeks. Confirms expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What peptides does Balanced Bodies offer?

Most peptide clinics require in-person evaluation for the initial consult; some offer virtual follow-ups once a patient is stable. If geography or travel matters to you, ask on the consult call whether they can prescribe and follow up virtually — and which states they’re licensed to do so in.
How does Balanced Bodies compare to other Georgia peptide clinics?

Compound depth is one signal among several — provider credentials, pharmacy sourcing transparency, and lab requirements also matter when comparing.
Where is Balanced Bodies located?
Balanced Bodies is located in Marietta, Georgia. The full street address, phone number, and hours are listed in the data card above.
What Georgia Peptide Patients Are Likely Asking
Themes drawn from HealingMaps editorial analysis of verified Georgia peptide clinics in our directory + CDC PLACES 2023 (Fulton County, GA) + US Census ACS 5-Year. Refreshed quarterly; percentages rounded to nearest 5%.
Which peptides do most Georgia clinics actually offer?
Across Georgia peptide clinics in our directory, BPC-157 appears in 40% of listings; Semaglutide in 40%; CJC-1295 in 40%; Sermorelin in 40%. Compounds appearing in fewer than 20% of Georgia listings — including NAD+, Thymosin Alpha-1, Thymosin Beta-4 — are less commonly disclosed; patients seeking those should specifically ask whether the clinic prescribes them.
How transparent are Georgia clinics about their compounding pharmacy?
0% of Georgia clinics in our directory openly state whether they use a 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy. The rest leave the class unstated. The distinction matters for patients — 503A pharmacies fill prescriptions individually after your provider writes them (typically a few-day wait, in-state shipping), while 503B outsourcing facilities pre-batch under direct FDA inspection (often supporting same-visit fulfillment and direct-to-home shipping). Worth asking specifically before you book.
Who’s actually prescribing peptides in Georgia?
30% of verified Georgia clinics name an MD or DO as clinical lead (this listing’s clinical lead is Emergency Medicine-trained). The remainder are NP/PA-led or don’t publicly name a specific prescribing clinician. Any state-licensed physician, NP, or PA can legitimately prescribe compounded peptides — but knowing your prescriber’s training and tenure helps you assess fit for your specific protocol.
How deep are Georgia peptide menus typically?
The median Georgia clinic in our directory publishes 2 specific peptide compounds on its listing. The deepest disclosed menu names 8; 20% of listings name no specific compounds at all. A wide menu means more options at one clinic; a narrow menu can reflect specialization (e.g. weight-loss-only programs) or limited public disclosure (the clinic prescribes more than it advertises).
What does Atlanta’s health profile mean for peptide demand?
In Fulton County, 28.2% of adults are obese (CDC PLACES 2023) — roughly at the national average — supporting balanced demand between weight-loss and longevity protocols. Diagnosed diabetes runs at 10.9%. 10.1% of adults lack health insurance, roughly average for the country.
How many peptide clinics serve Atlanta?
10+ verified peptide clinics serve Fulton County’s ~1,067K residents (0.9 per 100K) — roughly average peptide-clinic density for U.S. metros. Comparing 3-5 clinics on consult calls is a reasonable benchmark before booking.
Pharmacy sourcing: This clinic doesn’t state its 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy partner. The class affects how your prescription is fulfilled — custom-compounded with in-state shipping (503A) versus pre-batched with broader shipping including direct-to-home delivery (503B) — so it’s worth asking before starting any compounded protocol.
How we vetted this clinic
We confirmed Balanced Bodies’s named prescriber in CMS NPPES records. 1 peptide compound on the menu — NAD+ among them. The clinic doesn’t specify pharmacy class (503A vs 503B) publicly — a reasonable thing to ask about before you book. See our full vetting rubric →
