What this video covers
You can’t open up social media without seeing something about peptides from a million experts. Now, here’s the thing about peptides you should realize. Unless you never use a phone, don’t scroll social media, and never go to a party where a friend talks to you, you might not have heard of peptides. Peptides have been around for at least 100 years.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- You can’t open up social media without seeing something about peptides from a million experts.
- Now, here’s the thing about peptides you should realize.
- Unless you never use a phone, don’t scroll social media, and never go to a party where a friend talks to you, you might not have heard of peptides.
- I would say that for myself, from the chair of the International Peptide Society, I’ve written probably 100 monographs on peptides, and really looked at all of the research that’s available on them.
- Peptides are these incredibly powerful compounds that a lot of times are injected subcutaneously, but a small amount, and only a few hundred micrograms, a littlest bit, can have a dramatic effect on your body’s chemistry.
- And I think that’s the biggest issue that I see going on right now because of the social media buzz, is that everybody wants to be on a peptide, and they think it’s a shortcut to like getting, you know, back to health.
