Peptides are everywhere right now: VIP, KPV, BPC-157, TB-500, Thymosin Alpha 1, GHK-Cu, GLP-1s, and more. They are being talked about for inflammation, gut repair, immune support, tissue healing, weight loss, recovery, and chronic illness—but they are not automatically safe just because they sound “natural.”

In this episode, Judy Cho breaks down what peptides are, why context matters, and the mistakes people may be making when they use them too casually or too early. Peptides can be powerful tools, but the wrong peptide, timing, or source can pose risks most people are not considering.
