SERMORELIN THERAPY
Physician-guided support for recovery, muscle preservation, and overall health
Sermorelin is a prescription medication that stimulates your body’s natural production of growth hormone.
It is not a shortcut, and it is not appropriate for everyone.
When used thoughtfully and under medical supervision, Sermorelin may support recovery, lean mass preservation, sleep quality, and overall metabolic health — particularly as growth hormone levels naturally decline with age.
How Sermorelin works
Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile, physiologic pattern, rather than replacing growth hormone directly.
This distinction matters because natural pulsatile release is associated with a safer, more regulated hormonal response.

Potential areas of support
(when medically appropriate)
1. Muscle preservation & recovery
Growth hormone plays a role in maintaining lean body mass and supporting recovery, which becomes increasingly important during aging and weight loss.

2. Sleep quality
Growth hormone secretion occurs primarily during deep sleep. Disrupted sleep can impair this process.

What Sermorelin is not
- Not a weight-loss medication
- Not a replacement for lifestyle change
- Not appropriate for everyone
- Not prescribed without medical evaluation
It is always used as part of a broader, physician-guided plan.
Medical evaluation is required
Before considering Sermorelin, we evaluate:
- Medical history
- Symptoms
- Relevant labs (including IGF-1 when indicated)
- Overall goals and risk factors
If Sermorelin is not appropriate, we will tell you.
How Sermorelin fits into our care model
At Suncoast Trim Clinic, Sermorelin is considered only when it supports:
- Muscle preservation
- Recovery
- Long-term metabolic health
Medication is a tool.
Guidance and long-term health remain the priority.
Next step: a clinical conversation
If you’re curious whether Sermorelin may be appropriate for you, the next step is a brief consultation.
We’ll discuss your goals, health history, and whether this therapy fits your overall plan.
