    #66: Mary Simmons & John McDermott — Are Peptides the Cure Big Pharma Doesn’t Want?

    This week on "The Ultimate Assist", John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with peptide experts Mary Simmons and John McDermott for a deep dive into one of the most talked-about—and controversial—areas of modern health. Peptides, they explain, are naturally occurring signaling molecules in the body that regulate everything from metabolism and healing to hormone balance and cellular repair. But despite their potential, many of these compounds exist in what Simmons describes as a “gray market”—caught between growing demand and limited regulatory approval. The conversation explores: Why peptides have been difficult for pharmaceutical companies to patentClaims that regulatory agencies may be relying on incomplete or biased informationThe rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs—and whether they’re addressing symptoms instead of root causesHow peptides may support healing, recovery, metabolism, and inflammation at a cellular level Simmons and McDermott also share insights from years of experience in bodybuilding and endurance sports, where peptide use has quietly existed for over a decade—often ahead of mainstream awareness. The discussion expands into a broader look at modern health challenges, including: The role of toxins, pesticides, and environmental stressorsWhy metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance are risingAnd whether current medical approaches are truly solving the problem—or just managing it At its core, this episode asks: Are we overlooking powerful tools for healing because they don’t fit the existing system?

    #64: Dr. Pierre Kory Returns and asks: "Is Long Covid a Cover for Vaccine Injury?

    In Episode #64 of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Dr. Pierre Kory, a former critical care physician who found himself at the center of controversy during the Covid-19 pandemic—and what followed after. Dr. Kory shares his personal journey from working inside the traditional medical system to what he describes as being “pushed out” after challenging mainstream narratives. Now operating outside that system, he focuses on treating patients with chronic illness, including those he believes are suffering from vaccine-related injuries and long-term post-Covid conditions. The conversation explores: The debate between “long Covid” vs. vaccine-related illnessWhy some treatments—like ivermectin and other low-cost therapies—became so controversialThe role of pharmaceutical influence, censorship, and institutional controlEmerging approaches to treating chronic neurological and immune dysfunction Dr. Kory also discusses a wide range of alternative therapies he’s studied and applied in his practice—from low-dose ketamine protocols to oxidative therapies—and shares his belief that many potentially effective treatments are overlooked because they fall outside the traditional medical model. The episode closes with a discussion on a lesser-known mineral-based water technology that Kory believes could have implications not just for human health, but for agriculture and global systems. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation that challenges the boundaries of modern medicine—and asks a fundamental question: Are we missing solutions because they don’t fit the system?
