Roots

Roots is a longevity and aesthetics practice located in Channelside, Tampa, offering peptide therapy, weight loss and hormone optimization, aesthetic solutions, and body contouring. The practice is physician-led by Dr. John Sosa, M.D., and operates with a team-based approach where providers share patient charts and treatment plans. The practice emphasizes personalized protocols based on bloodwork, AI measurement, and baseline data rather than menu-driven services. Roots positions itself as addressing health from the inside out, combining aesthetic treatments with metabolic, hormonal, and longevity care in a single integrated setting.

The practice structures care around four pillars: peptide therapy for recovery and metabolic optimization, GLP-1 and hormone replacement programs, aesthetic treatments including facial balancing and skin refinement, and non-invasive body contouring with EmSculpt Neo. Consultations are presented as consultative rather than sales-focused, with treatment plans tailored to the individual. The practice offers membership options including a GLP-1 longevity club, beauty banks with tiered discounts, men's health programs, and vitamin bundles.

What to expect

Consultations are described as consultative and involve a full evaluation including medical intake, bloodwork, and metabolic panel before any protocol is recommended. The practice offers online booking through their system. Membership options are available with varying commitment terms, ranging from three to four months, and include access to virtual group expertise and clinical support.
