Episode 75: Let's Talk About Peptides
Peptides have exploded in popularity in the weight-loss and wellness world — but what are they, how do they work, and how much do we actually know about their long-term safety?
In today’s episode, we move beyond the GLP-1 conversation and explore the broader peptide industry, including fat-loss peptides, growth hormone peptides, recovery peptides and the growing world of “biohacking” and optimization culture.
We discuss:
- What peptides are
- Why many are injectable
- The different types being marketed today
- FDA-approved peptides vs “research chemicals”
- Regulation and safety concerns
- The lack of long-term human data
- Why there is still no true shortcut around foundational metabolic health
This episode is not anti-peptide — it’s a balanced conversation about science, marketing, risk and the modern desire for quick fixes in health and weight-loss.
