So, you've heard the rumors—“GLP-1s destroy your muscle!” But… is that actually true? Think again. Today, we're setting the record straight. If you're serious about real, healthy weight loss—and actually keeping your strength for the long haul—this episode is a must. We're diving into a long-overdue conversation about GLP-1 medications, metabolism, body composition, and what's really happening to your muscle mass on these meds. Because weight loss isn't just about the scale—it's about how you lose it. Let's get into it. Quick Basics — What Are GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 Medications? Let's start at ground zero. GLP-1 medications — like semaglutide (Wegovy and Ozempic) — are game-changers for weight loss and diabetes. They work by mimicking gut hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and insulin release. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) slows down how fast your stomach empties, helps your body respond better to insulin, and most importantly — makes you feel fuller, longer. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound), also hits GIP receptors — that's glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide — lending to more blood sugar regulation in some people. What Happens to Your Body During Weight Loss? No matter how you lose weight — whether it's from keto, bariatric surgery, or GLP-1 meds — your body isn't just burning fat. It's normal to lose a mix of fat mass and lean mass, which includes muscle, bone, and organ tissue. But the goal with any good weight loss plan is to maximize fat loss and minimize muscle loss. The Myth: “GLP-1s Make You Lose All Your Muscle” Here's the truth: GLP-1 medications do NOT inherently destroy your muscle mass. In fact, clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 medications, like semaglutide, have osteoblastic effects, meaning they can stimulate the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation. This can potentially help improve bone density and support bone health. While the primary role of GLP-1 medications is to aid in weight loss and improve blood sugar control, these osteoblastic effects may offer additional benefits, especially in individuals at risk for osteoporosis or bone loss. If you see muscle loss during GLP-1 therapy, it's because of rapid overall weight loss and a lack of resistance training and protein — not because the medication is wasting your muscle. It's the same thing we see in ANY rapid weight loss — if you don't stimulate your muscles and feed them the right building blocks, your body gets rid of them because it thinks you don't need them. Muscle is metabolically expensive. Your body is smart — if it thinks you're not using muscle, it's going to save energy and dump it. That's biology — not the medication. Why Protein and Resistance Training Are Non-Negotiable If you're on a GLP-1, your appetite is lower — which is great for fat loss, but it means you could accidentally under-eat protein if you're not paying attention. Protein is literally the raw material your body uses to maintain and build muscle. Protein also helps build and repair tissues and is essential for producing enzymes, hormones, and maintaining a healthy immune system. Without enough, your body will start to break down lean tissue to make up the difference. And without resistance training (e.g., bodyweight exercises), your body assumes you don't need the muscle anymore. Use it or lose it. How to Protect (and Even Build) Muscle on GLP-1s Here's the simple formula: Prioritize protein: Aim for at least 0.8 to 1 grams per pound of body weight per day. Some need even more during active fat loss. Strength train 2–4 times a week: Focus on compound movements — think squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls, push ups, lunges, planks, and wall sits. Don't fear the scale: Remember that as you lose fat and build muscle, the number might not drop as fast — but your body composition is improving (e.g., reduced body fat, more defined muscles, improved waist circumference, increased energy and strength, and don't forget improved cardiovascular health). Think long-term: It's not just about losing weight — it's about keeping a strong, healthy, metabolically active body. THIS is what helps maintain weight loss. Making sustainable lifestyle changes can be challenging, but they are the most important choice you can make when it comes to losing weight and improving your metabolism in the long run. The goal isn't just weight loss — it's fat loss while preserving and strengthening lean mass. It's important to remember that GLP-1s are a powerful tool, but they aren't a magic. You still have to partner with your body — feed it well, move it wisely, and respect the incredible machine it is. Strong, lean, metabolically active — that's the future we're building, not just smaller bodies. Thanks again for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Today, we're talking about how nootropics and peptides like Semax (See-max) and Selank (SEH-lank) work together to support cognitive health, improve focus, and reduce mental fatigue. Let's start with nootropics. These are substances that are designed to support and enhance mental performance. Some work by improving memory, others help with focus, alertness, or reducing brain fog. Nootropics can be: Natural, like L-theanine or Lion's Mane Nutraceuticals, like Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline, which support neurotransmitter production Or synthetic, like Modafinil or racetams “RASS-uh-tams”, which are often used off-label to promote wakefulness and focus Most nootropics work by affecting levels of key brain chemicals like dopamine, acetylcholine, or norepinephrine. They don't “make you smarter,” but they can improve how efficiently your brain is working—especially under stress or fatigue. Now, let's talk about peptides—specifically Selank and Semax, which are two of the most well-known nootropic peptides. Selank is more about calming and emotional regulation, while Semax leans into cognitive enhancement and brain performance. Think of Selank as the anti-anxiety sidekick and Semax as the mental sharpener. Selank works by boosting GABA activity, which helps calm the nervous system. That's why it's often used to reduce stress and anxiety without causing drowsiness or dependence — unlike traditional anti-anxiety meds. Interestingly, it also slightly increases BDNF, the brain growth factor that supports memory and learning. Semax, on the other hand, has a much stronger impact on BDNF. It's derived from ACTH, but it doesn't raise cortisol levels. Instead, it enhances BDNF, dopamine, and serotonin activity, making it great for improving focus, mental energy, and even mood. And that's what makes them such a powerful combo for some people. Selank helps create a calm, clear mental space — kind of like reducing background noise — while Semax boosts the brain's signal, improving neuroplasticity, motivation, and mental clarity. Together, they offer a full-spectrum brain support: emotional balance and cognitive performance. Whether you're dealing with brain fog, anxiety, or just want to perform at a higher level, these peptides could be worth exploring. Stacking Nootropics with Peptides One of the most popular strategies for cognitive support is to combine or stack peptides with nootropics. For example: Selank pairs well with L-theanine for calming, focused energy. L-theanine, an amino acid found primarily in green tea, promotes relaxation and reduces stress without causing drowsiness by increasing calming neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin. Lion's Mane mushroom, a natural nootropic found in both wild and cultivated forms, can be stacked with Semax to naturally support memory, focus, and neurogenesis. Semax can be used with Alpha-GPC to support both short-term concentration and long-term brain health. Alpha-GPC (Alpha-glycerophosphocholine) is a choline-containing nutraceutical, often derived from soy or sunflower lecithin, that acts as a powerful nootropic. It increases levels of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter involved in learning, memory, focus, and muscle control. Because of its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently, Alpha-GPC is often used to enhance cognitive function, support brain health and neuroprotection, and improve physical performance by boosting power output and recovery in athletes. Semax can also be used with CDP-Choline for memory support, brain fog, and age-related cognitive decline. It too is a nutraceutical that provides choline, which the brain uses to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory, learning, and focus. It also delivers cytidine, which converts into uridine—a compound that supports neuron repair and brain cell membrane synthesis.  Alright, so one question we get a lot is, “What's the difference between CDP-Choline and Alpha-GPC?” It's a good one—because they're both great choline sources, but they work a little differently. Alpha-GPC delivers choline more directly, which means you'll feel that boost in focus and mental energy a bit faster. It's especially handy if you're doing high-intensity brain work or even something athletic. Lastly, I also want to dive into something a lot of people are curious about, Modafinil and racetams (RASS-uh-tams).  Modafinil (Provigil) is a prescription, stimulant medication used to treat sleep disorders (e.g., narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea) and shift work disorder. It's also used off-label as a focus-enhancing nootropic. It works by promoting wakefulness in the CNS. Researchers don't know exactly how it works, but it appears to affect areas in the brain that control attention and wakefulness. Racetams (e.g., Piracetam, Aniracetam, or Oxiracetam) are a class of compounds that enhance acetylcholine activity and neuroplasticity, leading to better learning, memory, and focus with subtle, non-stimulant effects.  While Modafinil provides a noticeable surge in alertness and productivity, racetams offer a more gradual cognitive boost that can be ideal for sustained mental performance. Just remember, peptides provide foundational support—helping your brain repair and function better long-term. Nootropics can then layer on immediate effects, like sharper focus or improved mood.

I'm excited to share my conversation with Dr. Scott Sherr, where we dive deep into methylene blue - a compound you've probably seen all over social media lately (those blue tongues!). As someone whose primary research focuses on Alzheimer's disease, I was fascinated to explore the science behind this molecule that dates back to the 1870s and was actually the first drug registered with the FDA in 1897.  The most fascinating insight for me was learning how methylene blue can serve as an electron acceptor in our mitochondria - essentially functioning as a substitute for oxygen when our cells are under stress. This explains why it shows promise for everything from traumatic brain injury to cognitive enhancement and even as a potential alternative to stimulant medications.   If you're interested in optimizing brain performance, understanding mitochondrial health, or simply curious about this blue compound that's suddenly everywhere, this episode provides both the scientific foundation and practical applications you need. Subscribe to The Neuroscience Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance. I'm committed to bringing you evidence-based insights that you can apply to your own health journey.  SponsorsA huge thank you to my sponsors for supporting this episode.

Alzheimer's doesn't just “happen” later in life—it's a slow, silent process that can begin decades before symptoms appear. In this solo episode, we challenge the myth that Alzheimer's is purely genetic, and break down what the science really says about your risk. I explore the role of the APOE4 gene, how it interacts with lifestyle and metabolic health, and why women—especially during and after menopause—may face a unique vulnerability. Most importantly, I introduce three cutting-edge blood tests that can detect the earliest signs of Alzheimer's, long before memory loss sets in. We'll also talk prevention: from blood sugar and insulin resistance to inflammation, hormone balance, and brain energy metabolism—everything you can start doing right now to safeguard your cognitive future. This is more than a conversation about Alzheimer's—it's a roadmap for taking control of your brain health. SponsorsA huge thank you to my sponsors for supporting this episode.

Robin Greenfield is a transcendental environmental activist who has taken the concept of simplicity to its existential extreme. This conversation explores how Robin's radical approach to consumption challenges our assumptions about possession, examining his 1,600-mile journey down the Pacific coast, his current experiment living in Griffith Park with absolutely nothing, the nature of contentment, our interdependence with Earth, and the liberation found in surrendering attachment. At one point, he fashions a toothbrush from a California bay branch right before our eyes. Robin is minimalism personified. This conversation will recalibrate your material perspective. Enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by  Bon Charge and Momentous. We used to think circadian rhythm only applied to sleep. But emerging science has revealed a link between our circadian rhythm and metabolism, cognition, risk for chronic diseases, and many other crucial aspects of our health. Our biology was designed to live in sync with a natural light-dark cycle, but modern-day society has disrupted this natural balance.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Satchin Panda. Dr. Panda dives deep into his groundbreaking circadian biology research and shares how leveraging your circadian rhythm can dramatically improve your sleep, lower your risk of chronic disease, and improve your cognitive function. They also discuss how time-restricted eating, exercise, and light can be used to help program your circadian rhythm and why it's especially important for shift workers to take advantage of these tools.  Dr. Panda is pioneering circadian biology research. He is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a Pew Biomedical Scholar, founder of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology, and recipient of the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research. Dr. Panda has spoken at conferences around the world about his work on circadian rhythms and diabetes, including Diabetes UK, the American Diabetes Association, the Danish Diabetes Association, and the professional diabetes societies of Europe and Australia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Panda dive into: Why late-night eating is so detrimental to our health (2:15) Organ systems that have a circadian rhythm (8:24) Common ailments that could be related to circadian rhythm disturbances (14:11) Night-shift work and cancer risk (20:19) How poor sleep perpetuates bad food choices (27:00) What happens in the body when you rely on an alarm clock (44:01) Why you need to accumulate sleep debt for better sleep (51:25) Time-restricted eating and sleep (1:00:40) How to combat fragmented sleep (1:15:35) The best time to work out (1:55:50) The link between exercise and cancer (2:07:55) Positive changes for better sleep health on a global scale (2:17:20) Strategies for night-shift workers to combat circadian rhythm disruption 02:45:10) Dr. Panda's research in firefighters (2:48:46) Tips for optimizing your circadian rhythm (3:14:20) Where to follow and support Dr. Panda's work (3:27:50) Also mentioned in this episode: The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight The Circadian Diabetes Code: Discover the Right Time to Eat, Sleep, and Exercise to Prevent and Reverse Prediabetes and Diabetes Download the MyCircadianClock app Try This: 6 Crazy Facts About Sleep Try This: How Exercise Helps Fight Cancer For more on Dr. Satchin Panda, follow him on Twitter @SatchinPanda, Instagram @satchin.panda, or his Website.
