I want modern peptides to work as much as the next guy. I’ve spent thousands following the protocols with the best sourcing I could find, and I’m not impressed by the results. I’ve also watched them backfire across so many clients.

So let’s actually think about it… What and who are these protocols based on? Who established them, for what reason, under what circumstances, and how are we so sure they apply to everybody else? 

There’s no standard sitting between getting the protocol right and managing the safety risk and the sourcing. What are the odds we’re taking on an unnecessary risk? We have no idea…

I’m not saying these things don’t work. I don’t want them to work any less than you do. I just can’t deny that the hype is selling us a new version of reality and I want you to be aware of it.

Yes I understand that the reason we have limited data is because there isn’t enough of a financial incentive since they can’t be patented, considering we produce them naturally, but IMHO that’s not enough of a reason to turn a blind eye. 

Plus we have plenty of agency over our endogenous production of peptides, WITHOUT the risk profile. 

This comes down to your habits, lifestyle systems, and decisions you make every single day whether you like it or not. Those give you a similar or even better benefit all around, because you’re not isolating one mechanism. You’re letting your body orchestrate a more meaningful effort across the board.

That takes a certain kind of effort, attention, and awareness that peptides can never replace, and the payoff reaches far beyond your physical health…
