## Resource

In this episode, we're joined by orthopedic surgeon and performance medicine physician Dr. Edwin Spencer to break down one of the biggest topics in health right now: peptides. We separate the science from the hype, discuss where peptides may actually be beneficial, and why they're never a replacement for the fundamentals of nutrition, exercise, and healthy habits. We cover: What peptides are and how they work The most popular peptides, including BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, and GLP-1s How peptides may support recovery, healing, muscle growth, and performance The difference between peptides and growth hormone Why sourcing and quality matter when considering peptides The current research, what we know, and what we still don't know Why peptides should complement healthy habits—not replace them How sleep, resistance training, nutrition, and VO₂ max still have the biggest impact on your long-term health If You Enjoyed This Episode Share this episode with someone who's curious about peptides or looking for an evidence-based discussion on where they fit into health, performance, and longevity. We'll catch you in the next one.
