This is part two of a conversation I started in my last episode. Before You Inject Anything. What You Need to Know About Research Grade Peptides and Why It Matters. If you have not listened to that one yet I recommend starting there first. In this episode I want to talk about something I get asked about constantly. People are going to wellness clinics and med spas and getting peptide injections. And they are walking out thinking they did everything right because a medical professional gave them...

I have been getting messages from people who are mixing and injecting peptides on their own with no doctor involved, no guidance on how to reconstitute them correctly, and no idea what dose is appropriate for their situation. This episode is for them. And for anyone who is considering going that route. I am not here to judge anyone. I am here to give you the information you may have not been given before you started. In this episode I explain what research grade actually means and why the not fo...

Getting on a GLP-1 is just the beginning. What you do while you are on it matters enormously for your results and your long term health.

Strength training and why without it you risk losing the wrong kind of weight. Hydration and ...

This is one of the most personal episodes I have done. I have Lyme disease. I was diagnosed in my late 40s completely by accident through a routine eye exam with a new doctor who noticed something previous exams had missed. Specialists. A CT scan. Comprehensive blood tests. And buried in those results was Lyme disease, something nobody had even been looking for. The eye and the Lyme turned out to be completely unrelated. My infectious disease doctor confirmed that. And I was told I had probably ...

In this episode I break down Semax, a peptide that has been used clinically in Russia for decades and is now being talked about seriously in the longevity and cognitive health space.

The nose to brain delivery pathway is real and it is the reason this specific compound works the way it does. I cover what the research actually shows for focus, memory, mental endurance, mood, mo...
