What this video covers

Today I want to talk about peptides because peptides are really popular right now. And despite how this podcast may sound, I am actually a very big fan and a very big proponent of peptide therapy. However, I am not a fan of a lot of things that are happening in this space right now. Many of you may have heard someone, maybe a friend, coworker, or even somebody at the gym, casually mention that they are on peptides.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing

• We are going to talk about what peptides actually are, what the science actually says, which ones are FDA approved, and what’s happening right now in the regulatory world.
• As of 2026 there are over 80 FDA approved peptide drugs and the global peptide therapeutic market exceeded $46 billion in 2024.
• The peptides that most people know by name are the GLP-1 receptor agonist semiglutide which is sold as Ozempic e Wegovy as well as tresepide which is sold as Mounjaro e Zepbound.
• In September 2023, the FDA itself determined that BPC 157, one of the most hyped peptides in fitness circles, lacked sufficient safety data and banned it from all compounding pharmacies.
• announced plans to move approximately 14 previously restricted peptides back into category 1, meaning that compounding pharmacies could potentially prepare them again for patients with prescriptions.
• And in July of 2026, literally just a few weeks before the timing of this recording, an FDA advisory panel voted 8 to6 to support allowing compounding pharmacies to produce BPC-157, TB500, and two other peptides.
