Podcasts about BPC

Grey-market injectable peptides – a category of substances with obscure, alphanumeric names such as BPC-157, GHK-Cu, or TB-500 – have developed a devoted following among biohackers and health optimisers. To understand how these unregulated substances have become mainstream and what they could be doing in our bodies, Madeleine Finlay hears from journalist Adrienne Matei and from Dr Anna Barnard, an associate professor at Imperial College London who researches peptides.

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, hosts Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Tom Blue explore the frontier of liposomal peptide therapy with Dr. Christopher Shade—the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific and an internationally recognized expert on environmental toxicants who pioneered the use of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery systems. Dr. Shade argues that "inflammaging" and endotoxemia often block the efficacy of standard hormone therapies by downregulating receptors, and he advocates for using specific liposomal peptides like BPC-157, KPV, and Thymulin to break these inflammatory cycles and reverse "fatty thymus." The conversation details how intraoral nanoliposomes utilize membrane fusion to achieve high intracellular uptake, offering practitioners a compliant, scalable method to transition from symptom-chasing "personalized medicine" to upstream "precision medicine" that rapidly seals the gut and resets immune resilience.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

l episodio 111 llegó con todo.Arrancamos con la Argentina Week en Nueva York, el evento organizado desde Cancillería para atraer inversión al país, con Milei como figura central y JP Morgan como gran protagonista detrás de escena. ¿Es el comienzo de algo real o simplemente otro mini Davos que no se traduce en dólares concretos?Después nos metemos en algo que muy poca gente está mirando de cerca: la crisis silenciosa de los mercados de crédito privado. BlackRock, Morgan Stanley y JP Morgan ya están limitando los retiros de inversores. Un descalce entre liquidez y deuda que empieza a sonar conocido.También hablamos de la noticia tech más impactante del momento: Lovable, una startup sueca de vibe coding con apenas 146 empleados, pasó de facturar $1M a $400M de ARR en solo 14 eses. Una de las curvas de crecimiento más brutales que vimos en años.Luego analizamos la pelea entre Anthropic y el Pentágono. El gobierno de EE.UU. quería usar los modelos de Anthropic sin restricciones de seguridad para dirigir misiles. Anthropic dijo que no, fue declarada riesgo de seguridad nacional y demandó al gobierno. El resultado: millones de usuarios migrando de ChatGPT a Claude.Cerramos con un tema que está explotando en los círculos de biohacking: los péptidos. Ozempic, Retatrutide, BPC-157 y todo lo que viene después. Qué son, cómo funcionan, cuáles no están aprobados todavía y por qué cada vez más gente los está usando igual.

Peptides for midlife health are suddenly everywhere, but do they actually work or are they just the newest longevity trend? In this episode, Chalene Johnson sits down with longevity expert Dr. Elizabeth Yurth to break down the growing buzz around peptides and what women over 40 should know before jumping in. You've probably heard about GLP-1 medications, BPC-157, collagen peptides, and growth hormone peptides, all promising benefits for weight loss, inflammation, muscle recovery, and anti-aging. But with so many supplements, injections, and online sources popping up, it's getting harder to tell what's legitimate and what's just hype. Together, Chalene and Dr. Yurth unpack what peptides actually are, why they're suddenly everywhere in the longevity world, and why many experts believe peptide levels change as we age. They also discuss one of the biggest risks most people don't realize until it's too late: where peptides are coming from and why the source matters far more than most people think. If you've been curious about peptides, GLP-1 medications, or longevity therapies for women over 40, this conversation will help you start asking the right questions before deciding whether they belong in your midlife health routine.

The peptide trend is everywhere…in wellness clinics, on influencer feeds, and now inside coaching programs promising six- and seven-figure practices built on injectable protocols. But what does the actual science say?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, Ph.D., a research scientist and contributing author at MASS Research Review whose sharp, no-nonsense breakdowns of health and exercise science have made her one of the most trusted voices for evidence-based practitioners. She joins us to dissect her viral article The Peptide Problem… and pull absolutely zero punches.We go deep on the three most hyped peptide drugs circulating in the wellness space right now (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and BPC-157), and the uncomfortable truth that their bold promises of muscle gain, fat loss, accelerated recovery, and anti-aging are built almost entirely on rodent data. Zero approved human trials. Zero FDA oversight. Zero manufacturing standards. Yet coaches are being handed pre-built protocols and told this is the new standard of care.Dr. Colenso-Semple explains why "natural" doesn't mean safe, why anecdotal success stories aren't evidence, and what the real risks, including tumor angiogenesis and immune reactions, could look like for everyday people injecting unapproved compounds. She also gives coaches a clear playbook for navigating client pressure, ethical red flags to watch for in mentorship programs tying coach income to selling unapproved drugs, and the evidence-based tools that actually move the needle when you strip the hype away.If you're a coach, trainer, or health professional trying to stay on the right side of science and your integrity… this one is essential listening Coach VinnyEmail: vinny@balancedbodies.ioInstagram: vinnyrusso_balancedbodiesFacebook: Vinny Russo Dr. ErynEmail: dr.eryn@balancedbodies.ioInstagram: dr.eryn_balancedbodiesFacebook: Eryn Stansfield Dr. Lauren Colenso-SempleInstgram: drlaurencs1Website: https://www.drlaurencs.com/Mass Research Review Article: https://massresearchreview.com/2026/02/26/the-peptide-problem/ LEGION 20% OFF CODEGo to https://legionathletics.com/ and use the code RUSSO for 20% off your order!

In this episode of the Inspire Health by Jen Podcast, Dr. Jen tackles one of the most persistent taboos in wellness: genital herpes. Moving beyond the "fifth-grader" giggles and cultural shame, she reframes the virus as a common chronic condition—much like the flu or an autoimmune flare—that simply happens to live in a sensitive area. Dr. Jen explains that while the virus remains in the body, you don't have to live in a cycle of fear or constant outbreaks. By addressing the "terrain" of the body through specific nutrition, nervous system regulation, and the "magic bullets" of bioidentical hormones and peptides, she provides a roadmap for putting the virus into long-term remission and reclaiming your confidence. Themes: Understanding why society shames genital herpes while ignoring other herpetic viruses like Mono or Shingles. How to "starve" viral expression by removing inflammatory triggers like gluten, dairy, and seed oils. Why stress and trauma in the sacral area can trigger outbreaks and how to heal the energetic "leak." The protective role of Estrogen and Progesterone in maintaining tissue integrity and immune resilience. A look at "magic bullets" like Tirzepatide for inflammation and BPC-157 for tissue repair. Understanding how antivirals work as a "bridge" rather than a root-cause solution. Connect with Jen: 

You can't watch a single sporting event without being hit with an Ozempic commercial — but did you know that those GLP-1s everyone's talking about are actually peptides? Kyal Van Der Leest — nutritionist, naturopath, and the formulator behind LvLUp Health — breaks down which peptides actually work, which ones are all hype, and why the Swiss Army knife of peptides (BPC-157) might be exactly what your gut, your joints, and your brain have been begging for. Kyal gets into the oral vs. injectable debate (Kyal sells oral peptides and still admits most oral ones don't work — gotta respect that), why your midlife body composition changes aren't just about willpower, the mould exposure conversation that'll make you side-eye your hotel room forever, and whether microdosing GLP-1s is the smarter play. If you're a Betty navigating perimenopause or menopause and want real, science-backed options beyond "just take Ozempic," this episode is your new best friend.

Guest host Dr. Scott Faulkner ( https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com) leads Health & Wellness Wednesday on Rush to Reason, joined by Jeremy Sova (biohacker and health optimization researcher), Regina Nabrit (mental health and behavioral health specialist), and later Josh Gardner (peptide expert). The hour opens with a sober reflection on current world tensions and a reminder to stay grounded in faith and perspective—but how do you stay informed without becoming overwhelmed? Regina Nabrit explores the growing mental health crisis tied to social media addiction, dopamine overload, and constant digital stimulation. Are smartphones quietly destroying sleep, relationships, and emotional resilience? The team introduces practical tools—including the “Four D's” strategy—to help listeners regain control of their attention and mental well-being. From there, the conversation pivots into cutting-edge biohacking and longevity science. Jeremy Sova breaks down the importance of biomarkers, vitamin D optimization, omega-3 levels, and targeted supplementation, arguing that modern food alone may no longer provide the nutrients our bodies need. Then the discussion dives even deeper into cellular aging, including the concept of “zombie cells” (senescent cells) that may drive inflammation, disease, and accelerated aging. Could emerging therapies—from natural senolytics to peptides and regenerative medicine—help the body repair itself? What simple steps today could dramatically change your long-term health? HOUR 2 Health & Wellness Wednesday on Rush to Reason, continues as the conversation dives deeper into peptides, cellular energy, and metabolic health, exploring why declining NAD levels may contribute to brain fog, fatigue, and aging. Could new sublingual peptide delivery technology dramatically improve absorption—bypassing digestion and delivering compounds directly into the bloodstream and even past the blood-brain barrier? Josh Gardner explains how peptides such as BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, and GHK-Cu are used to support immune function, tissue repair, and inflammation control. Meanwhile, Jeremy Sova connects the dots between metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and modern chronic disease, noting that widely known drugs like GLP-1 treatments (Ozempic-type medications) are themselves peptides. The panel emphasizes the importance of biomarker testing and personalized medicine, warning that many people chase quick fixes without understanding what's actually happening inside their bodies. Could a deeper look at hormones, metabolism, and mitochondrial health add years—maybe even decades—to your healthspan? The discussion builds toward emerging therapies and the possibility that modern regenerative medicine may rewrite the future of aging. HOUR 3 In hour 3 of Rush To Reason, the conversation explores the cutting edge of longevity science, starting with the battle against cellular senescence—“zombie cells”—and simple compounds that may help the body clear them out. Could nutrients like fisetin, quercetin, and omega-3s influence brain inflammation and even neurodegenerative disease pathways? Josh Gardner shares his personal journey into fasting and peptide therapy, explaining how peptides targeting mitochondria, recovery, and growth hormone may help restore cellular energy. The discussion then shifts to telomere length, the protective caps on chromosomes linked to aging. Are therapies like epithalon peptides and hyperbaric oxygen therapy capable of extending healthspan? Jeremy Sova reveals surprising insights from his own continuous glucose monitoring experiments, including which foods caused dramatic metabolic spikes—and which simple habits stabilized blood sugar. Finally, the team tackles stem cell exhaustion, regenerative medicine, and the future of healing. Could emerging therapies—from NAD+ delivery to immune-support peptides like Thymosin Alpha-1—transform how we approach aging, recovery, and disease prevention?

Most doctors treat the average patient. But you are not average, and this episode gives you the precision medicine blueprint to treat yourself like the individual you are, using multi-omic testing, biohacking technology, and longevity science to optimize every layer of your biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, a Board-Certified Family Physician, author of The Longevity Equation, and President and Founder of the American Board of Precision Medicine. He serves as Adjunct Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and CEO of the Institute for Human Optimization. Dr. Bajnath is certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine, board certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, and is one of the few clinicians actively applying genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetics together in a real clinical practice. Together, Dave and Dr. Bajnath break down why population-based medicine fails individuals, how functional medicine and precision science combine to unlock real human performance, and why your mitochondria sit at the foundation of every longevity strategy worth pursuing. They dig into how AI can help you decode your own inflammasome biology, why biohackers are using “sex drugs” to extend longevity, why vagal nerve stimulation directly suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome, and which biomarkers like MMP9 and homocysteine mainstream medicine keeps ignoring. They also cover peptides, supplements, the dark side of metformin, microdosing for anti-aging, and why biohacking works best when it's personalized and precise. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, smarter not harder health strategies, metabolism, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and taking full control of their biology. You'll Learn: Why precision medicine outperforms population-based health strategies for human performance How to layer genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics into one complete biological picture Which longevity biomarkers your doctor is likely ignoring, including MMP9 and homocysteine How vagal nerve stimulation suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome and drives anti-aging benefits The real story on metformin, peptides, and which supplements actually move the needle How AI can help you understand your own biology and act on it faster Why biohacking precision beats random stacking every time Thank you to our sponsors! • Igniton | Head over to Igniton.com and use code DAVE for an exclusive 15% off your first order. • BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com • Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. • Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave.

With dangerous medical advice taking over social media, peptides are bleeding from niche biohacking and "gym bro" communities into the mainstream. This week, Chloe breaks down the science, the risks, and why the "magic medicine" mindset around unauthorised injectables is dangerous. In this episode Chloe covers: What Peptides Actually Are: Short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules (like insulin and GLP-1) to tell your cells what to do. Approved Peptides: A look at legal, heavily tested peptides (like GLP-1s and Insulin) and why their knock-on metabolic effects require strict medical supervision. Unapproved & Unproven Peptides: The massive risks behind unauthorized, internet-bought compounds like BPC-157 and TB-500, including a harrowing case study. Inherently Risky Peptides: Debunking the muscle-growth myths around IGF-1 and Growth Hormone Secretagogues, and exposing their severe cardiovascular and insulin resistance risks. The Bottom Line: Why you should always steer clear of unauthorized injectables, plus a recommendation to check out the Barbell Medicine podcast for a deeper dive into the clinical science.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden sits down in person with fitness and nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese to unpack the full truth about GLP-1 agonists. With millions of people jumping on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and soon retatrutide, the conversation most doctors aren't having is about what's actually happening inside the body while the scale goes down. Dr. Gladden breaks down how GLP-1s suppress hunger, slow metabolism, and trigger muscle wasting when used without proper diagnostics or a supporting protocol. He explains the critical differences between GLP-1s, GLP-2s, and GLP-3s, reveals why the ghrelin rebound causes most people to regain everything they lost, and shares the strategies he uses in his practice to help patients lose fat while protecting lean tissue. From the 5-day fasting mimicking diet to natural GLP-1 boosters like metabolic probiotics and calocurb, this episode lays out a smarter, more sustainable path to optimizing body composition. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, already on one, or looking for alternatives, this is the conversation that could change your entire approach.

Book a call with the Gladden Longevity team → https://start.gladdenlongevity.com/apply-now Takeaways • Peptides are signaling partners, not substitutes for the work your body needs to do.  • GLP-1s were designed for diabetics and metabolic syndrome, not casual weight loss. • GLP-1s decrease energy expenditure while GLP-3s (retatrutide) increase it. • Many GLP-1 users are losing muscle mass instead of fat without realizing it. • The ghrelin rebound after stopping a GLP-1 drives appetite higher than before while metabolism stays slower. • A fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C alone are not enough to understand your metabolic health. • A two-hour glucose tolerance test with an insulin curve reveals insulin resistance most doctors completely miss. • The 5-day fasting mimicking diet resets ghrelin, taste buds, gut biome, and leptin sensitivity without destroying muscle. • You can boost your body's own natural GLP-1 production through the right probiotics and bitter receptor activation. • Weight gain is not always an appetite problem. Thyroid dysfunction, declining sex hormones, and missing micronutrients can all be the real driver. • Sex hormone optimization during perimenopause and andropause is critical for maintaining body composition. • Willpower never wins long term. Systems and environment design are what create durable results.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Welcome with Autumn 00:44 What Is a Peptide and How Peptides Work in the Body 03:07 BPC-157 and the Pharma Model vs. Peptide Signaling 05:00 You Can't Out-Peptide Bad Habits 06:31 What Is a GLP-1 and How It Affects Your Brain and Gut 08:57 GLP-1s Were Designed for Diabetics Not Weight Loss 09:40 GLP-2 Tirzepatide and GLP-3 Retatrutide Explained 11:00 Why Retatrutide Increases Energy Expenditure While GLP-1s Decrease It 12:00 The Muscle Mass Crisis on GLP-1s 14:06 The Patient Who Lost 20 Pounds of Pure Muscle 15:00 Protecting Muscle with Perfect Aminos and Creatine 17:00 Autumn's Personal Supplement Stack for Training 19:00 Food Noise Ghrelin and the Appetite Rebound 21:18 The 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet as a Metabolic Reset 23:00 Building Your Own Natural GLP-1 Production 25:00 The Glucose Tolerance Test Most Doctors Never Run 28:30 Risks of GLP-1s Pancreatitis Thyroid Tumors and Unsupervised Use 29:50 Microdosing GLP-1s in Perimenopause 30:30 Calocurb the Natural Appetite Suppressant from Hops 32:00 Sex Hormone Optimization for Body Composition 35:00 Resting Metabolic Rate Testing and Hidden Thyroid Dysfunction 38:00 Autumn's Hormone Health Program and Real Results 39:30 Willpower vs Systems and Architecting Your Environment 41:30 Bio-Individuality and Why Someone Else's Plan Won't Work for You 43:00 The Power of Diagnostics and Understanding Your Genetics  To learn more about Autumn: Instagram: @autumncalabrese Reach out to us at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gladdenlongevity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gladdenlongevity/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladdenlongevity YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_q8nexY4K5ilgFnKm7naw   Gladden Longevity Podcast Disclosures Production & Independence The Gladden Longevity Podcast and Age Hackers are produced by Gladden Longevity Podcast, which operates independently from Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's clinical practice and research at Gladden Longevity in Irving, Texas.

  In this episode, Freddie and Renee zoom out on the modern wellness landscape—where tech, supplements, scans, and strong opinions are everywhere—and make a case for discernment over dogma. They talk candidly about online criticism, influencer skepticism, and why “trying things” only works when you introduce tools one at a time, track outcomes (HRV, sleep, glucose), and don't confuse information with wisdom. The through-line is simple: foundational health still matters, but intelligent experimentation can be powerful when it's paired with humility and real feedback loops. Then the conversation goes deep into two high-stakes areas people rarely discuss honestly: full-body MRI screening and biological dentistry. Renee shares her Prunuvo experience—how a possible kidney finding triggered weeks of stress and a cascade of follow-up imaging and specialist visits, raising the hard question of where early detection ends and false positives begin. From there, she opens up about a long dental arc that started with a traumatic accident at 16, eventually leading her to remove older titanium implants, manage bone loss and grafting, and transition to zirconia ceramic implants—not as fear-based medicine, but as a “reduce the burden” choice while she explores chronic fatigue, immune markers, and Episode Highlights [00:00] – Renee's Pranuvo full-body MRI experience and the 15mm kidney stone scare [16:02] – False positives, medical rabbit holes, and the emotional/financial cost of early detection [22:53] – Top health yardsticks: glucose markers, HRV, sleep tracking, and foundational labs [25:08] – CGMs, cortisol testing (Dutch & ELi Health), and why trends matter more than single data points [27:15] – Genetic testing, APOE4 status, and using DNA as a focus tool (DNA Company & SelfDecode) [51:37] – Renee's dental trauma story: accident, titanium implants, and root canal decisions [54:56] – Titanium implants, ANA positivity, chronic fatigue, and biocompatibility concerns [59:22] – Surgery recovery protocol: red light therapy, StemRegen, BPC-157 & TB-500 peptides [01:29:10] – Closing reflections and exosome therapy mention   Links & Resources Learn more about Renee Belz → https://reneebelz.com/ Follow Renee on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/reneebelz/ Listen to the Biohacker Babes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/renee-belz-lauren-sambataro/id1470189843 Get Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD — 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Try CatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken StemRegen: stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 — Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Are peptides the wellness world's newest miracle, or just the latest overhyped biohack? With ads for injectable weight-loss solutions everywhere you look and wellness influencers calling peptides the holy grail, we're taking a step back to unpack what's actually going on beneath the marketing. In this episode, we break down what peptides are, what they do in the body, and why they've suddenly exploded in popularity across both clinical and wellness spaces. We're also diving into the questions we know you're really asking—are peptide injections actually safe, who (if anyone) are they appropriate for, and what should give you pause?

Okay babes… this is a very special Free The Moms episode.This one is actually a replay-style webinar training that I hosted, and I decided to bring it to the podcast because this conversation needs to happen out loud. We are talking all things peptides. Yes, GLP-1s. And also NAD+, glutathione, B12, BPC-157 and more. But the main focus of this training is GLP-1s—why so many of my clients are taking them, why some are microdosing, why some are on a full weight-loss dose… and why I personally am on a microdose.I'll be honest with you. I was nervous to release this. There is still so much stigma around GLP-1s. And I don't love that. So we're de-stigmatizing it. We're having the conversation. Because my job is to bring you information, empowerment, and options—without shame.Inside this episode, I walk you through:- What peptides actually are (and why they're not some scary foreign thing)- The difference between microdosing a GLP-1 and using a full weight-loss dose- Why I chose to microdose—and how I think about it in the context of longevity and metabolic health- Semaglutide vs tirzepatide (single agonist vs dual agonist) and what that actually means- What my clients are experiencing on these medications- Side effects like nausea and how they're managing it- Why medical oversight matters and how to think about doing this responsiblyWe also talk about other supportive peptides like NAD+ and glutathione, and why this conversation is bigger than “just weight loss.” For many of my clients, this is about metabolic healing, inflammation, energy, and feeling like themselves again.If you're curious, skeptical, interested, or just want to understand what the heck everyone is talking about, this episode is for you. You get to decide what's right for your body. Always.If you want to explore further, you can check out the peptides portal here:https://lmd.com/LauraConleyAnd if you attended the webinar live (or signed up), you'll receive the replay, consult link, booking link, and all resources via email.I love you guys.

Injectable peptide therapy, a controversial wellness trend that caught fire online in 2025, shows no signs of slowing down in 2026 despite an overwhelming lack of safety data. Peptides, especially “research peptides” like BPC-157 and TB-500, have been hailed by famous podcasters, biohackers, and longevity gurus as a miracle cure for just about anything that ails you, from torn ligaments and gut issues to curbing wrinkles and dull skin. There are several well-studied, FDA-approved peptides available today, such as insulin and GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy, but that's just a sliver of the peptide pie. There are thousands more with glowing online reviews, but scant scientific data, that can be procured online or through longevity clinics. Mixes of various peptides, called “peptide stacks,” often come with clever names like the ‘'wolverine stack' or ‘glow protocol', while others have earned names like ‘Barbie peptide' for their ability to tan the skin without the sun. These popular stacks are not FDA-approved, so they're distributed online as 'research peptides' that are meant for in-lab research, not human use — a workaround for their gray market status. To find out more, host Lexy Lebsack sat down with two experts on the topic. First up was NYT's David Dodge (8:42), who walked us through the rise of peptide therapy online. He published an article for NYT in November titled “The internet loves peptide therapy. Is it really a miracle cure?” Lebsack also interviews McGill's Jonathan Jarry (29:35), who wrote an article in late 2023 — well ahead of a rush of online articles — called “The human lab rats injecting themselves with peptides.” Jarry walks us through the hard science, and lack thereof, of many popular stacks, ahead.

Host Audrey Neff sits down with renowned facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kay Durairaj, for a candid conversation on where aesthetics is headed — and what practitioners need to understand right now. Dr. Kay shares her journey from reconstructive surgery into aesthetics, how longevity medicine is beginning to intersect with cosmetic care, and what's driving growing interest in regenerative treatments and peptides like BPC-157. Together, Audrey and Dr. Kay unpack current industry debates (including PDGF), shifting consumer preferences around HA fillers versus collagen stimulators, and the realities of navigating social media responsibly as a medical professional. The episode also offers practical guidance for providers evaluating emerging technologies and treatments — with an emphasis on clinical integrity, patient education, and building sustainable practices in a rapidly evolving landscape.

The peptide industry just hit $328 million in imports from China in nine months, and the fastest-growing buyers aren't bodybuilders. They're women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who were told their labs look "fine" when they know something is deeply wrong.In this episode, I break down why peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are being aggressively marketed to women in perimenopause, why there isn't a single randomized controlled trial proving they're safe or effective in humans, and what the actual evidence says about brain fog, muscle loss, joint pain, and metabolic decline. I explore why the "your bloods are normal" dismissal has destroyed women's health, how hormone replacement therapy actually protects your brain when timed correctly, why GLP-1s work when peptides don't, and what protein, sleep, and resistance training do that no research chemical can replicate, because the foundations of brain health will never trend on TikTok, but they're the only things backed by decades of rigorous science. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: Why women are the fastest-growing peptide buyers 07:01 Perimenopause reality: why "your labs look fine" is destroying women's health 15:20 What peptides actually are and the missing human evidence 31:00 Quality control disasters and documented side effects 39:50 What actually works: resistance training, protein, and muscle preservation 44:30 Hormone replacement therapy and brain protection 51:14 GLP-1 receptor agonists: evidence-based use vs. gray market risks *Thank you to our sponsors* Caraway: https://carawayhome.com/neuro10 Timeline Mitopure: http://timeline.com/NEURO Function Health: https://www.functionhealth.com/tcm/louisanicola _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.   Resources From The Show: Dr. Serena and Heidi's website - https://www.blossominglongevity.com/ Dr. Serena and Heidi's Podcast - Hormone Heroines Supplements we talked about: Urolithin A, CoEnzyme Q10 and Creatine Peptides we mentioned: P21 (brain), BPC 157/TB500 (gut health + aches/pains

If you feel inflamed, exhausted, stuck in recovery mode, or like your body just doesn't bounce back the way it used to, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Adam Boender, chiropractor-turned-peptide educator, to unpack how men can reclaim their health, energy, and recovery—without shortcuts or hype.   Dr. Adam shares how peptides actually work at the cellular level, why most men don't have a deficiency problem but a communication problem inside their bodies, and how strategic tools like peptides, nutrition, and movement work best when paired with discipline and intention. We go deep on recovery peptides, fat loss versus weight loss, GLP-1 medications, food quality, inflammation, and why no supplement or peptide replaces doing the hard work. This episode is a masterclass in health, responsibility, and long-term performance for men who want their bodies—and lives—back.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode is for men who feel inflamed, tired, and stuck [1:41] How Larry and Dr. Adam connected after a serious knee injury [2:38] Recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon and the urgency to heal [3:03] Dr. Adam's background as a chiropractor turned peptide educator [3:27] Teaching clinicians how to use peptides safely and effectively [4:08] Why peptides are still misunderstood by most men [6:20] From one-on-one practice to helping clinicians impact thousands [8:38] Family illness and the catalyst for Dr. Adam's career shift [10:16] Why "one-to-many" impact matters in healthcare [11:15] How peptides supported Larry's accelerated recovery [12:23] Getting off crutches and braces weeks ahead of schedule [13:33] Why peptides work best when paired with discipline and rehab [16:12] What peptides actually are and how cellular communication works [18:20] Epitalon: the "reset peptide" for sleep, recovery, and longevity [20:37] BPC-157 as the "multivitamin" of peptides [22:10] Gut health, inflammation, and joint recovery explained [24:17] How BPC-157 increases blood flow and healing in joints [26:13] Recovery break and nutrition fundamentals [28:04] Why BPC-157 and TB-500 are often paired together [29:16] TB-500 and stem cell signaling for tissue repair [31:09] Copper peptide for collagen, joints, and longevity [35:09] Injectable vs. oral peptide absorption [36:21] GLP-1 medications explained simply [38:12] Fat loss vs. weight loss and why protein intake matters [41:03] Why muscle preservation is critical during fat loss [43:03] Genetics, obesity, and the myth of "bad genes" [48:36] Peptides as tools—not magic bullets [50:54] Defining true health as the ability to heal [53:05] Why processed food is breaking our bodies [55:07] Eating real food as the foundation of health [57:32] Fueling your body like a high-performance machine     Five Key Takeaways: Peptides improve cellular communication, but they don't replace discipline, movement, or nutrition.  Inflammation and poor recovery are often communication problems, not deficiencies.  Fat loss is not the same as weight loss, and preserving muscle must be the priority.  Genetics load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger, especially with health outcomes.  True health is the body's ability to heal, not just the absence of disease.      Links & Resources MicroFactor Pack: https://1stphorm.com/products/micro-factor/?a_aid=dadedge Opti-Greens 50: https://1stphorm.com/products/opti-greens-50/?a_aid=dadedge Post-Workout Stack: https://1stphorm.com/products/postworkout-stack?a_aid=dadedge Collagen with Dermaval: https://1stphorm.com/products/collagen-with-dermaval/?a_aid=dadedge Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1434     Closing Remark If this episode challenged how you think about health, recovery, or responsibility, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Peptides are having a moment, but they're not new or foreign to the body. In this episode, we break down what peptides actually are, how they differ from hormones, bioregulators, and supplements, and why they're better understood as precision signaling tools rather than drugs. We also explain how peptides work using a simple lock-and-key model, how they're manufactured, and why sourcing, purity, dosing, and delivery method matter for both safety and results.We dive into where peptides fit in today's wellness landscape, including how they compare to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and walk through some of the most talked-about peptides, including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, Epitalon, MOTS-C, DSIP, and PT-141. From muscle building and fat loss to brain health, sleep, immune resilience, and skin and hair health, we explore real benefits through a physiology-first lens. We also cover who peptides may be helpful for, who should avoid them, and why foundational health like minerals, gut function, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health must be in place before layering peptides in.SHOW NOTES:0:43 Welcome to the podcast!2:22 The tipping point of peptides5:38 Previous episodes on peptides6:26 What is a peptide?8:34 Bioregulators vs Peptides vs Hormones10:48 How are peptides manufactured?12:42 Lock-Key analogy16:03 Overview of benefits17:32 Peptides vs supplements20:03 Ozempic & GLP-1s24:09 BPC-15729:20 Thymosin Alpha 131:12 Epitalon32:59 Renee's peptide dream34:26 MOTS-C35:06 DSIP for sleep36:52 PT-14138:08 Muscle Building & Fat Loss42:58 Brain & Cognitive Health44:45 Skin & Hair health51:31 How to consume peptides52:33 Safety of peptides59:07 Who its for vs Contraindications1:02:01 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Ellie MDBioLongevity PeptidesPeptide UniversitySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lavalle/ In this episode, I sit down with the legendary clinical pharmacist Jim LaValle for a fascinating exploration of some of the most innovative approaches to health, performance, and longevity. We discuss everything from peptides and small molecules for mitochondrial and kidney support to the science behind improving VO2 max, brain function, sleep, and more. Jim LaValle unpacks his decades of experience, shares cutting-edge research on metabolic health, and explains the power of his Metabolic Code test—which I recently tried myself—for identifying and addressing the biggest bottlenecks in your health journey. Throughout our conversation, we swap stories about nutrition missteps (think gallons of dairy and endless antibiotics), dive into the practical application of peptides like KPV, BPC-157, and lorazotide for healing the gut, and examine trends Jim repeatedly sees even in high performers—like stress-driven hormone changes and sneaky signs of inflammation. If you’re curious about how personalized lab testing, wearable data, and smart supplementation can help you feel better, perform better, and age powerfully, you’ll love the insights in this episode. James "Jim" B. LaValle, B.S.Pharm, CCN, MT, DHM, DHPh, is an internationally recognized clinical pharmacist, author, and board-certified clinical nutritionist, with over 40 years of clinical experience in natural products, lifestyle, drug/nutrient depletion, compounding pharmacy, and peptides.
