What this video covers

Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life. I’m Andrew Huberman and I’m a professor of neurobiology and opthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. Craig Conover is a medical doctor who did his training at Brown University and Thomas Jefferson University. He is a world expert in what he refers to as performance medicine which involves the use of peptides and other therapies for improving mental health, physical health and performance.

Summary drawn from this video’s own transcript (banked in our research library, pulled 2026-11-07). Claims below are the speaker’s — attributed, not endorsed. This site publishes no dosing, protocol, or sourcing information.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing

• For instance, BPC157 or body protection compound 157 which is used to treat inflammation, to accelerate wound healing and a variety of other things.
• And the reason I say that is that even if you aren’t considering taking peptides or already taking peptides, peptides and some of these other compounds I’ve mentioned, sit somewhere between doing nothing except diet and exercise.
• And today we of course discuss the potential side effects and safety concerns of peptides as well as the critical issue of sourcing clean peptides and working with a board-certified physician if one is going to pursue peptide use.
• And so to to tell the story story further is back in October of 2023, the FDA uh put many peptides BPC and we can name them out on what’s called a category 2 list meaning they are no longer allowed to be compounded.
• That growth hormone then leaves the pituitary, enters the bloodstream, travels to the liver where we make insulin like growth factor 1, which then enters the circulation is very anabolic, meaning growth, healing, mending.

• You know, speaking of um clinicians and science and and all of this, um there are a couple other peptides that have received FDA approval um that are commonly in use.
