A full biomarker panel first — your baseline, properly read. Then, if it is right for you, a medicine registered with the Ministry of Health and dispensed by an authorised pharmacy. Never the other way round.
A short chain of amino acids that your body already makes, and uses to carry instructions from one organ to another. Insulin is one. The shape it folds into is what lets it fit a receptor.
Semaglutide copies a gut hormone that tells the brain you have eaten.
Most peptides sold online read “research use only”. Ours are registered with the Ministry of Health.
Testosterone is a hormone. Metformin is a tablet. The evidence decides, not the word.
Nothing is prescribed before you are assessed and your biomarkers are read.
Thirty minutes by video with a physician. History, medications, what you want to change.
A full panel, drawn at a laboratory near you. Measured, not guessed.
Your doctor reads the results with you and decides whether medicine is right at all.
Reviews at one, three and eight months, with a check-in from your phone between.
A panel is only worth what the person reading it knows. These are the people who would read yours.
A Costa Rican physician in general practice, with a year of clinical training through the CCSS across primary care, hospital and ambulatory settings. He works daily with chronic pain, sleep disorders and inflammatory conditions, taking an evidence-based approach, and prescribes on what he finds rather than on what is asked for.
A physician specialising in regenerative and longevity medicine at RMI‑International, where he designs treatment protocols with a stated focus on safety and precision. He also provides emergency care, adult and paediatric, at Hospital Clínica Bíblica. His master’s thesis was on photobiomodulation.
Over thirty years in scientific research as a molecular biologist, now working in functional nutrition. She specialises in functional blood chemistry analysis — reading a panel for the subclinical drift that sits inside the reference range and gets reported as normal. That is the part of this clinic most people underestimate.
Every prescription is written by a physician registered with the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Costa Rica, after an individual assessment, and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
Every one of them starts with the same assessment and the same seven‑marker panel — blood count, fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipids, liver and kidney function, and thyroid. Which you end up on is your doctor’s decision, not a choice you make on a website.
The same for every patient, whatever your plan.
Weight, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and the cardiovascular risk that travels with them. The area where the evidence is strongest and the change shows up soonest.
Fatigue, lost strength, poor sleep, low mood. Prescribed only where your biomarkers support it, and monitored closely because this one has to be.
Perimenopause and menopause. Sleep, temperature and mood, and the bone and heart risk that arrives quietly alongside them, years before anyone mentions it.
Body composition, recovery and sleep. The dose is set on your IGF-1 and adjusted on repeat testing, never on how you happen to feel that week.
The oldest and cheapest option on this page, and for a good number of people the right one. Sixty years of safety data sit behind it.
Laboratory figures are the Colegio de Microbiólogos minimum tariff, which is the legal floor in Costa Rica; your laboratory may charge above it, and anything your doctor adds for your own case is extra. Colon figures are converted at ₡455 to the dollar on 18 October 2026, and the rate moves. Package prices are indicative and include the clinic fee above. Medicines are dispensed by a licensed pharmacy and paid for there. Laboratory fees are paid to the laboratory.
The questions we are asked before anyone books. Educational, never a recommendation to take anything.
Eight are published. The Costa Rica group is written first, because those are the questions nobody here has answered.

Both clinics are Cura Vida Clinics Costa Rica S.R.L. — one company, one set of physicians, one medical record. The cannabis clinic has been seeing patients across the country by video since 2024. This is not a new company learning how to do it; it is the same one, treating something else.
