Summary
Peptides are quickly moving from niche biohacking circles into the mainstream and with that comes a wave of concerns. We brought in Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD, to break down what peptides actually are, why they’re gaining so much attention, and how they differ from well-studied peptide-based medications like GLP-1s. Share breaks down the science in a clear, practical way, what’s being overstated, and why so many claims don’t have the evidence to back them. We also talk about the biggest concerns—lack of human data, safety unknowns, misleading marketing, and the risks of unregulated products being sold in the wellness space. This conversation will help to make informed decisions for yourself and confidently navigate questions from patients or clients in a rapidly evolving area of health and fitness. --- 💪 Click here to learn more about The Fit Physician Coaching
