Today we're breaking down a question I get all the time — what's the difference between BPC-157 and the so-called Wolverine Peptide Stack? And more importantly, is stacking actually better for tissue healing, or is BPC-157 alone enough?

If you've started a GLP-1 medication and found yourself thinking, "Why am I so tired all of a sudden?", you're definitely not alone. Today, we're talking specifically about fatigue with semaglutide and tirzepatide—what the research actually shows, why fatigue seems more common with some GLP-1s than others, and what you can do if your energy feels lower than usual.

Today, we're talking about something your body relies on every single day—yet most people have never heard of it. It's called glutathione, often referred to as the master antioxidant.  You may also see it labeled as L-glutathione or GSH, but for this episode, we'll simply call it glutathione as we break down what it is, why it's so important, and how it helps protect your cells and support overall...

Today we're diving into how medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide work in the body—and how they compare to the hormones your body naturally produces. Once you understand the biology behind them, their effects start to make a lot more sense.

Today we're talking about glucose — what it is, why your body absolutely needs it, and how the way glucose enters your bloodstream affects your energy, weight, hormones, inflammation, and long-term health. Glucose often gets a bad reputation, but the truth is much more nuanced. Glucose itself isn't the problem. In fact, without it, you couldn't survive. What really matters is how fast glucose ente...

Today, we're diving into an exciting development in obesity treatment—oral semaglutide.  Last week, the FDA approved Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill as the first and only oral GLP-1 for weight loss in adults. This approval is based on results from the OASIS-4 phase 3 clinical trial showing that a once-daily oral version of semaglutide can deliver nearly the same weight loss results as the injectable fo...

Today we're talking about sleep — something that affects every system in the body, yet is often overlooked until it becomes a problem. Not just how many hours you're in bed, but how deeply you sleep, how well your body restores overnight, and whether you actually wake up feeling rested.  We're also going to talk about a peptide that's been getting more attention in the wellness space for sleep sup...

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we're diving into the combined power of high-dose NAD+ and GHK-Cu. I'm genuinely excited about the technology behind a product called the Push Patch. It uses iontophoresis— which is a completely non-invasive technology that uses gentle electrical currents to push these ingredients deep into the skin and directly into circulation. But really, thi...

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we're diving into GLP‑1 therapies, including dual GIP/GLP‑1 agonists and the emerging triple agonists, and talking about how these peptides are typically dosed, what people are experimenting with, and what the research — or real-world experience — tells us so far.

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today I want to talk about the use of Cialis (tadalafil), beyond erectile dysfunction, because research is showing its potential as an anti-aging therapy. And while, Cialis is not a peptide, it sometimes comes up in the same conversations because of its role in anti-aging. We'll break down how Cialis works for erectile dysfunction in addition to its ef...

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today we're going to talk about something that's becoming really important for anyone taking medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP‑1 receptor agonists. You probably already know the benefits of GLP-1s—smaller appetite, better blood sugar control, and noticeable weight loss. But here's the catch: eating less can sometimes mean you're also takin...

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today we're diving into a compound ATX‑304. It's often referred to as "exercise in a pill". And after we go through the science together you'll see why. We'll cover the back‑story, how it works, how it differs from typical mitochondrial supplements, animal and human data so far, who this may and may not be for — and importantly, what to watch out for. ...

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we're tackling a question that comes up often in peptide, weight loss, and nutrition clinics: why does one person see great results with semaglutide, while another responds better to tirzepatide—or even retatrutide?

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we'll examine an important debate in nutrition: whether skipping breakfast or skipping dinner is more effective for your health and metabolism.
