DNA Wellness and Longevity Institute in Naples, FL offers peptide therapy, hormone optimization, and functional medicine under Dr. Katherine Ortiz, I-MD, Ph....
DNA Wellness and Longevity Institute in Naples, Florida, operates as a functional and regenerative medicine practice led by Dr. Katherine Ortiz, who holds credentials as an I-MD, Ph.D., PA-C, M.M.S., and board certification from the American Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners. Established in 2014, the clinic delivers in-person consultations focused on identifying and addressing underlying physiological imbalances rather than symptom management alone. Dr. Ortiz completed fellowship training through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine in partnership with the University of South Florida, earning her Diplomat status and a Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine from Quantum University. Her clinical approach integrates laboratory diagnostics, hormone optimization, and regenerative therapies to support patients seeking measurable improvements in metabolic function, body composition, and age-related decline.
DNA Wellness and Longevity Institute offers an extensive peptide therapy program with 4 different peptides available, including tissue repair compounds such as BPC-157, and other specialized compounds. Treatment selection is individualized based on comprehensive health assessments and patient goals.
Dr. Ortiz’s clinical expertise spans hormone replacement therapy for both women and men experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, andropause, or thyroid dysfunction. The institute addresses adrenal health through cortisol rhythm testing and targeted supplementation, while gut microbiome assessments inform protocols for digestive disorders, immune dysregulation, and systemic inflammation. Sexual wellness programs combine hormone optimization with peptide therapy and PRP applications to address libido, erectile function, and vaginal health. Athletic performance protocols utilize peptides that support muscle recovery, joint integrity, and endurance capacity, often paired with nutrient infusions and body composition tracking to monitor progress. Each specialty area relies on objective testing—hormone panels, micronutrient assays, metabolic markers—to guide treatment adjustments over time.
Patients at DNA Wellness and Longevity Institute begin with an initial consultation that includes a detailed health history review, discussion of current symptoms and wellness objectives, and ordering of baseline laboratory work. Follow-up visits review test results and establish a treatment protocol that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, peptide injections, nutritional interventions, or regenerative procedures. The clinic schedules regular monitoring appointments to assess response to therapy, adjust dosages, and retest biomarkers as needed. Patients receive education on self-administration techniques for at-home peptide injections when appropriate, along with guidance on lifestyle factors that influence treatment outcomes. The practice maintains a 4.6-star rating across 32 Google reviews, reflecting patient feedback on thoroughness of evaluation and clarity of treatment plans.
Located in Naples, Florida, DNA Wellness and Longevity Institute serves residents of Collier County and surrounding Southwest Florida communities seeking alternatives to conventional symptom-based care. The clinic operates exclusively through in-person appointments, allowing for hands-on assessment, in-office procedures such as PRP injections, and direct provider interaction during each visit. Dr. Ortiz’s multi-credential background—combining physician assistant training, integrative medicine doctoral work, and board certification in anti-aging medicine—enables a treatment model that bridges conventional diagnostics with regenerative therapies. The institute’s focus on measurable biomarkers, individualized peptide protocols, and root-cause investigation distinguishes its approach within the Naples functional medicine landscape.
