Who Will Prescribe Your Peptides?
Epic Living Medical Center names Audra Foster, ND as a clinical lead. To verify their NPI, license number, and specialty, look them up directly at the CMS NPPES Registry or your state’s medical board — both are free public databases.
What this means for you: Knowing your clinician’s NPI and license matters because that’s who’s responsible for your protocol, dose adjustments, and follow-up. Any actively state-licensed physician, NP, or PA can legitimately prescribe compounded peptides — verifying takes about two minutes.

Is Epic Living Medical Center the right fit for you?
✓ Choose Epic Living Medical Center if:
- You’re in or willing to travel to Pleasanton — peptide therapy generally requires in-person consultation and ongoing follow-ups.
✗ 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 clinic that publicly states its 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy — this listing doesn’t disclose sourcing.
What to Expect at Your First Epic Living Medical Center 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: BPC-157, TB-500, Semaglutide or GHK-Cu. 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 Epic Living Medical Center patients report the consult-to-first-injection window runs 1–3 weeks depending on lab turnaround and pharmacy fulfillment.
What to Ask on Your Epic Living Medical Center 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.
- “Which of your peptides is most commonly prescribed for my goals?” Helps you understand whether the clinic’s expertise matches what you’re trying to achieve.
- “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.
- “Can you share the supervising physician’s full name and license number?” HealingMaps editorial wasn’t able to match the listed clinical lead to a single CMS NPPES record — verify directly so you know who’s actually responsible for your prescription.
- “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 Epic Living Medical Center offer?
Based on this listing, Epic Living Medical Center names 4 specific peptide compounds: BPC-157, TB-500, Semaglutide, and GHK-Cu. The clinic may offer additional compounds not published on its public listing — confirm the full menu on a consult call.
Is the named clinical lead at Epic Living Medical Center verifiable in public records?
HealingMaps editorial wasn’t able to match the named clinical lead to a single NPI in the federal CMS NPPES registry — this can happen when the listing names a generic role (“clinical team”, “supervising physician”) rather than a specific person, or when name variants don’t return an exact match. Ask the clinic to share their physician’s full name and license number on the consult call.
Does Epic Living Medical Center offer telehealth or virtual visits?
Epic Living Medical Center doesn’t mention telehealth or virtual visits on its listing. 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 Epic Living Medical Center compare to other California peptide clinics?
Among verified California peptide clinics in the HealingMaps directory, Epic Living Medical Center ranks in the top half of California peptide clinics in the directory by compound depth. Compound depth is one signal among several — provider credentials, pharmacy sourcing transparency, and lab requirements also matter when comparing.
Where is Epic Living Medical Center located?

What California Peptide Patients Are Likely Asking
Themes drawn from HealingMaps editorial analysis of verified California peptide clinics in our directory. Refreshed quarterly; percentages rounded to nearest 5%.
Which peptides do most California clinics actually offer?
Across California peptide clinics in our directory, BPC-157 appears in 55% of listings; Ipamorelin in 45%; CJC-1295 in 40%; Semaglutide in 35%. Compounds appearing in fewer than 20% of California listings — including Epitalon, Thymosin Alpha-1, Semax — are less commonly disclosed; patients seeking those should specifically ask whether the clinic prescribes them.
How transparent are California clinics about their compounding pharmacy?
25% of California 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 California?
55% of verified California clinics name an MD or DO as clinical lead. 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 California peptide menus typically?
The median California clinic in our directory publishes 4 specific peptide compounds on its listing. The deepest disclosed menu names 19; 25% 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).
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
Epic Living Medical Center’s menu publishes 4 compounds (BPC-157, TB-500, and Semaglutide lead the list). The clinic doesn’t publicly name an individual prescriber for CMS NPPES verification or specify pharmacy class (503A vs 503B). Both are common gaps in smaller or newer practices and worth confirming on the consult. See our full vetting rubric →
