Why I put my name on this

I'm Sean Riley, Director of Athletics and Head Football Coach at Mercy Culture Preparatory in Fort Worth, Texas. So many of the people I do life with are on peptides, and around the dinner table I kept hearing the same stories: dirty peptides, mixes that went wrong and wasted a whole vial, and the companies people bought from getting shut down.

My wife, Heather, takes peptides too, and it concerned me that anyone can bounce from website to website and order whatever they want with no blood work. When Pat Schatzline, my spiritual father, told me about Drs. Mark & Michele Sherwood at Functional Medical Institute, I knew this was different: comprehensive blood work first, peptides from pharmacies they've trusted for years, and doctors overseeing the whole plan.

If you want to do this the right way, start here. Their team does the work; I just get to point you to them.
