    Ep.68: Peptides, what worked and what didn't

    Peptides are everywhere right now, but which ones actually move the needle and which ones are just expensive hype? On this episode I break down firsthand experience with BPC-157, 5-Amino, GLP-1s, and the compounds his wife is using, separating what feels real from what sounds good in a marketing post. We get brutally honest about what happened when I tried BPC-157 for tendon pain, why 5-Amino didn’t deliver the body-composition change I wanted, and why GLP-1s may be the first “peptide” conversation that deserves real attention. If you’re trying to lose weight, preserve muscle, fight afternoon fatigue, or just make sense of the supplement-to-peptide explosion, this episode gives you a practical, no-BS filter. I unpack: Why Ozempic and Wegovy changed the entire peptide conversationThe difference between one-trick GLP-1s and newer multi-pathway compounds like RetatrutideWhy BPC-157 has a huge testimonial economy but very little human trial supportWhat my wife reports from GHK-Cu, KPV, and NADWhy tracking calories, hydration, training, and discipline still matter, even with peptidesI also explain the trap of mistaking “I used it and felt better” for proof, and why placebo, lifestyle changes, and timing can make a compound look far more effective than it really is. At the same time, I make the case that some therapies deserve a closer look, especially when they’re backed by phase 3 data and real-world results. If you’ve been wondering whether peptides are a breakthrough tool or just the newest wellness cash grab, this episode will help you sort signal from noise. Perfect for anyone chasing fat loss, better recovery, or a clearer opinion on the compounds flooding your feed.

    We’re back from a brief hiatus with full minds, tired legs, and plenty of stories. In this episode, we catch you up on where we’ve been and dive into what it takes to actually give ideas life—moving from "wouldn’t it be cool if..." to standing on the starting line.

From the high points of race execution to the brutal lessons learned when things went sideways, we share what went right, what went wrong, and the recovery protocol helping us bounce back for whatever comes next. In this episode, we break down: The Break: Catching up on our recent podcasting hiatus and recharging the creative tank. From Idea to Action: Why taking an ambitious concept and making it reality is the hardest (and best) part. The Build-Up: Key takeaways, milestones, and adjustments during triathlon training.
