The use of peptides in clinical practice has expanded rapidly, but the legal and regulatory landscape remains widely misunderstood. This session provides a clear, practical framework for naturopathic physicians to distinguish between legally permissible peptide prescribing (e.g., FDA-approved medications and limited compounding pathways) and high-risk or non-compliant practices (e.g., research-grade peptides and noncompliant sourcing).

Attendees will learn how federal FDA regulations, compounding laws, and enforcement trends apply to commonly used peptides, including GLP-1/GIP medications and so-called “Category 1 / Category 2” substances. The session will focus on real-world decision-making, risk assessment, and defensible practice models rather than theoretical or overly technical regulatory analysis.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Distinguish between FDA-approved peptides, compoundable peptides, and non-FDA-approved “research” peptides

2. Understand the FDA compounding framework (503A/503B) and how it applies to peptide prescribing

3. Explain the limitations of “Category 1 / Category 2” designations and common misconceptions

4. Identify legal, regulatory, and professional risks associated with prescribing non-compliant peptides

5. Apply a practical decision-making framework to evaluate whether a peptide use case is legally defensible
