Peptides: can the good outweigh the bad?

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

In the last few months, the popularity and discourse around the use of peptides has skyrocketed – especially on social media, among young people. While some peptides are legal as prescribed by a doctor to treat legitimate medical conditions, many are being bought and sold illegally in Australia for performance-enhancement and cosmetic purposes. This podcast from The Swanston Explainer will explore whether peptides are the ultimate key to biohacking, or just a biohazard. Podcast by Alice Parry, Audrey Gearon and Iliada Bramich
