Say it before you put anything new into your body. You guys have been asking me to talk about peptides for months, and I'll be honest, I didn't want to. I'm not a doctor, I'm not an expert, and I've been trying to get the godfather of peptides on this show forever (we keep missing each other). But I did peptides for three years, starting back in 2022, before influencers were pushing them on us on Instagram. Doctor-led, through a compounding pharmacy, when I was so sick I had the muscle mass of an 80-year-old woman. So this is my experience. No highlight reel. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Exactly which peptides I took and why: BPC 157, KPV, and larazotide, TB500 and TA1, plus CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin  ✅ What cycling actually means and why you can't stay on peptides forever ✅ The first cycle where I felt better than I ever have in my life, and what my doctor said that brought me back to earth ✅ The moment in Singapore my body told me I was done ✅ Why where you source your peptides matters more than which ones you take: a real doctor and a compounding pharmacy, never influencer codes or research-only websites ✅ Why you need blood work and a real doctor, not a self-diagnosis Because here's the real takeaway: peptides were training wheels. They got me from point A to B, but getting from B to E, that was on me. My mindset and my belief that I'd outgrow them is what made them work. A good tool brings you back to yourself and then gets out of the way. One thing I need you to hear: everything I took was prescribed for me by my doctor and compounded for my body. This is my story, not a protocol to copy. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Get informed, get your blood work, find the right professional, and make the call for your own body. An informed yes and an informed no are both wins.
