Shelby Wakeman, FNP-BC

Shelby is a Family Nurse Practitioner whose approach to care has been shaped by both her clinical training and her personal experience as a patient.

Earlier in her career, she cared for patients across a range of clinical settings, including high-acuity pediatric care at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, travel nursing, and procedural and aesthetic medicine.

At the same time, Shelby was navigating chronic symptoms of her own without a clear diagnosis. A turning point came when she found a practitioner who looked beyond individual symptoms and considered how everything might be connected. Peptide therapy became a meaningful part of that journey and sparked a deeper clinical interest in how peptides can be used thoughtfully and responsibly within individualized care.

Those experiences, together with her growing clinical interest in peptides, inspired her to create knwn. The practice brings peptide therapy together with careful evaluation, medical oversight, and ongoing clinical support.

Shelby’s approach is rigorous, collaborative, and grounded in context. She considers each patient’s health history, symptoms, laboratory findings, and lived experience to create a plan around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Her clinical focus includes peptide therapy and metabolic health, with broader interests in longevity and integrative medicine. She is especially drawn to patients who want to take a more proactive role in their health and are looking for thoughtful care that considers the full picture.
