Should you be using peptides?

The honest answer is that not everyone should. Peptides are not a nutritional requirement, a shortcut to better health, or something you need simply because they are trending.

But some people do have a defined problem—such as obesity, metabolic disease, an injury, loss of function, a diagnosed hormone-related condition, or another health issue—for which a peptide-based medication or investigational compound may be relevant.

In this episode, John Garrett, explains how to decide whether a peptide belongs in the conversation. You will learn how to start with the problem rather than the product, compare FDA-approved, off-label, compounded, experimental, and research-use categories, evaluate human versus animal versus anecdotal evidence, identify better-established alternatives, and build a plan for monitoring and stopping.
