Welcome back! After months of moving house, Florida adventures, and a major life rethink, we're finally back behind the mics — and today's episode is packed.In this raw and real conversation, we share the harsh truths about true health transformation — why it's never as simple (or fast) as people expect, and why real change demands patience, investment, and resilience.
In this episode of the Optimised Health Show, we dive deep into the fascinating world of peptides—nature's biological messengers with incredible therapeutic potential. From muscle repair and immune modulation to skin health and anti-aging, peptides offer a cutting-edge approach to optimising health.We explore popular peptides like BPC-157, thymosin alpha-1, and copper peptides, discussing their benefits, dosing considerations, and best application methods—whether injectable, oral, or topical. We also break down the truth behind GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic and Mounjaro) and why they can be game-changers for weight management and metabolic health when used correctly.But let's be real—there are no magic pills. We emphasise the importance of fundamentals—proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle—before turning to advanced tools like peptides. Plus, we share expert insights from thought leaders in the space, including Dr. William Seeds and Jay Campbell, and discuss the future of peptide therapy.Topics covered in this episode: ✔️ What are peptides and how do they work? ✔️ BPC-157 for healing, inflammation, and gut health ✔️ Thymosin alpha-1 for immune support and longevity ✔️ Copper peptides for skin, hair, and collagen production ✔️ The rise (and misuse) of GLP-1 agonists for fat loss ✔️ The challenges of peptide sourcing and regulation ✔️ Why lifestyle is STILL kingThanks to Our Sponsor:Want supplements that *actually* work?
