ZYP Medical

ZYP Medical operates as a telehealth-focused clinic based in Gretna, Nebraska, providing peptide therapy, hormone optimization, and virtual urgent care across six states: Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, and Arizona. Led by Joshua Peterson, FNP-C, a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, the clinic specializes in weight loss management through GLP-1 receptor agonist peptides and testosterone replacement therapy for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone. The clinic's telehealth model eliminates geographic barriers for patients seeking hormone and metabolic health services throughout the Great Plains and Southwest regions, with consultations conducted entirely online and prescriptions coordinated through partner pharmacies.

ZYP Medical's peptide therapy program centers on three primary compounds: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight management, and NAD+ for cellular energy and metabolic support. Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is prescribed for patients seeking appetite regulation and sustained weight reduction, while Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP receptor activation for enhanced metabolic effects in appropriate candidates. The clinic's NAD+ protocols address cellular aging, energy production, and metabolic function through supplementation strategies tailored to individual patient needs. Weight loss patients receive structured treatment plans that include peptide dosing schedules, nutritional guidance, and ongoing monitoring of progress markers. Testosterone therapy protocols are designed for men with clinically low testosterone levels, incorporating lab work interpretation, prescription management, and symptom tracking to optimize hormone levels safely.

Joshua Peterson brings Board Certification in Family Practice to his role as lead provider, applying primary care training to hormone optimization and metabolic medicine. His approach emphasizes thorough patient education, with consultations structured to explain treatment mechanisms, expected timelines, potential side effects, and realistic outcome expectations. Peterson's background in family medicine informs his patient assessment process, which includes reviewing medical history, current medications, contraindications, and individual health goals before recommending peptide or hormone therapies. The clinic's virtual urgent care service extends Peterson's primary care expertise to acute medical needs, offering patients a single provider relationship that spans both ongoing wellness optimization and episodic illness management across state lines.

Patients begin with a telehealth consultation where medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals are discussed in detail. For weight loss candidates, Peterson evaluates BMI, previous weight loss attempts, metabolic health markers, and contraindications to GLP-1 therapies before prescribing Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Testosterone therapy patients undergo lab work review to confirm clinical hypogonadism, followed by prescription of appropriate testosterone formulations and monitoring protocols. NAD+ protocols are individualized based on patient goals related to energy, recovery, or metabolic support. The clinic provides transparent pricing information during initial consultations, with patients receiving clear breakdowns of medication costs, consultation fees, and lab work expenses. Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on treatment type, with weight loss patients typically checking in monthly and testosterone therapy patients following protocols aligned with lab monitoring schedules.

ZYP Medical's multi-state telehealth licensure allows the clinic to serve patients across a broad geographic footprint without requiring travel to a physical office. Patients in rural areas of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, and Arizona gain access to peptide therapies and hormone optimization that may not be available locally. The clinic's virtual urgent care service adds a convenience layer for established patients who develop acute medical needs, creating continuity of care within a single provider relationship. Prescription fulfillment is coordinated through compounding and retail pharmacies based on medication type and patient location, with the clinic guiding patients through the logistics of receiving and administering prescribed therapies. This telehealth-first model positions ZYP Medical as a regional resource for patients prioritizing accessibility, transparent communication, and provider consistency in their metabolic and hormonal health management.
