I’m Toby Schindelbeck, The Peptide Coach. I know what it feels like to have your health, strength, and vitality stripped away. In 2023, after flood damage from Hurricane Ian caused black mold poisoning, my airway became so inflamed I could barely breathe or sleep; at 45 I underwent emergency surgery—uvula, tonsils, adenoids, and part of my palate removed, turbinates reduced, and a deviated septum repaired. Months later, MRIs revealed catastrophic damage in both shoulders (multiple torn tendons, labrums, and muscles), and I endured two major reconstructive surgeries just six weeks apart. Instead of giving up, I built a peptide- and supplement-based recovery protocol focused on collagen remodeling, angiogenesis, inflammation control, and wound healing—using BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Thymosin Alpha 1, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, plus supportive nutraceuticals. My range of motion and strength returned ahead of schedule, shocking my orthopedic surgeon. That turning point led me to channel decades of experience in nutrition, fitness, and hormones into coaching and advocacy. In late 2024 I began an 8-week prep using everything I’d learned—peptides, GLP-1s, training adaptations, and biohacking—and on April 5, 2025, just 16 months after my last shoulder surgery, I stepped on stage for the first time in 18 years, winning 1st Place in Masters Over 40 bodybuilding, with additional top-3 finishes.
Most doctors are rushed; most patients don’t know what questions to ask. I bridge that gap. As The Peptide Coach, I act as your concierge health coach and advocate: I review your labs, history, and goals; help you understand what to ask your doctor; and guide you with peptide, hormone, nutrition, and fitness strategies that restore what’s already within you. Your body was designed perfectly—my role is to help you remove the blocks so you can finally feel, look, and live the way you were meant to. Credentials & accomplishments include ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Dave Palumbo’s S.M.A.R.T. Certified Trainer/Nutritionist, IFA Certified Sports Nutritionist, 27+ years coaching thousands of clients in fitness, hormones, and peptides, former #1 ranked Max Muscle & Nutrishop owner, competitive athlete (2025 Masters Over 40 champion) and WABDL California state deadlift record holder (602.5 lbs @ 242 lbs). Beyond coaching, I’m a husband and father who loves Florida’s beaches, training hard, and living life to the fullest with my wife Lisa and our daughter. At the end of the day, I’m not just a coach—I’m your advocate.
With over 27 years of coaching experience, I’ve guided thousands of clients in fitness, nutrition, hormones, and peptides. As a former No. 1 ranked franchise owner of both Max Muscle and Nutrishop, I bring proven expertise in the health and wellness industry.
In 2023, after enduring three major surgeries, I created a cutting-edge peptide and supplement recovery protocol that shocked my surgeons with unprecedented healing and range of motion. By applying peptides, GLP-1s, and advanced nutrition, I not only recovered but returned to elite conditioning.
That journey led to a 2025 comeback victory — winning 1st place in Masters Over 40 Bodybuilding, alongside multiple top-three finishes. I also hold the California state record in the WABDL deadlift, lifting 602.5 lbs at 242 lbs.
