Colette Nelson, FNP-C, RD, RN, CDCES, AAFE（New York, NY）

Colette Nelson, FNP-C, RD, RN, CDCES, AAFE operates a telehealth-based peptide therapy and hormone optimization practice serving patients in California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Michigan. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with dual credentials as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, Nelson brings an integrated clinical perspective to endocrine dysfunction, metabolic disorders, and age-related hormonal decline. Her practice is headquartered in New York, NY, and focuses on evidence-based peptide protocols, bioidentical hormone replacement, and medical aesthetics delivered through virtual consultations that accommodate patients across six states.

Nelson holds advanced certifications that distinguish her clinical approach: she is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), a credential requiring specialized training in perimenopause and menopause management; a certified Testosteronologist with expertise in androgen therapy for both men and women; and has completed Dr. Seeds’ peptide certification program, which provides structured training in therapeutic peptide application. Her American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) certification supports her work in aesthetic peptide protocols, including collagen-stimulating and skin-rejuvenating compounds. This combination of endocrinology, nutrition science, and aesthetic medicine allows Nelson to address hormonal imbalances, weight management challenges, insulin resistance, and age-related aesthetic concerns within a single treatment framework. Patients typically present with symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, estrogen dominance, metabolic syndrome, or facial volume loss, and receive individualized peptide and hormone regimens tailored to laboratory findings and clinical presentation.

Colette Nelson, FNP-C, RD, RN, CDCES, AAFE offers a range of peptide therapy options tailored to individual patient needs. Treatment protocols are customized based on health goals, lab work, and medical history, with options for hormone optimization, metabolic health, tissue repair, and performance enhancement.

Patients begin with a virtual consultation during which Nelson reviews medical history, current symptoms, prior lab work, and treatment goals. New patients are required to complete baseline hormone testing—either through their local lab or via at-home collection kits—before initiating therapy. Nelson interprets results within the context of her endocrinology and nutrition training, identifying patterns such as subclinical hypothyroidism, low free testosterone, elevated cortisol, or impaired glucose metabolism. Treatment plans are documented in a written protocol that specifies peptide dosing, injection frequency, hormone titration schedules, and adjunctive lifestyle interventions including macronutrient targets, supplement recommendations, and exercise modifications. Prescriptions are sent to compounding pharmacies that ship directly to patients’ homes, and Nelson provides injection training and administration guidance during follow-up video appointments. Her registered dietitian credential allows her to integrate medical nutrition therapy into every treatment plan, addressing insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies that affect hormone synthesis and peptide efficacy.

With a 5.0-star rating across 14 Google reviews, patient feedback highlights Nelson’s depth of knowledge in peptide and hormone therapy, her ability to create individualized treatment plans, and her responsiveness in adjusting protocols based on patient response. The telehealth model eliminates geographic barriers for patients in California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Michigan who lack access to local providers with peptide and hormone expertise. Nelson’s multi-state licensure and virtual care platform allow for consistent follow-up, real-time dosing adjustments, and long-term management of complex endocrine and metabolic conditions without requiring in-person visits. Her practice serves patients seeking alternatives to conventional hormone replacement, those with refractory weight management issues despite diet and exercise, individuals experiencing symptoms of andropause or menopause, and patients interested in aesthetic peptide protocols for skin quality and facial rejuvenation.
