MAHA Living Ep. 10 - Peptides: Most Popular, Pros & Cons

Jordan and Nate finally tackle the buzzword everyone's been throwing around: peptides. From Ozempic and Gila monster spit to copper creams and hairy butt cheeks (yes, really), the guys break down what peptides actually are, why they suddenly went viral, and whether the hype is justified.

They cover the basics in plain English with a fun letters-words-sentences analogy, dig into RFK Jr.'s deregulation of compounding pharmacy peptides, and walk through the most popular ones on the market today. BPC-157 for injury repair, GHK-Cu for skin and hair, Semax for cognition, Melanotan for tanning, Tesamorelin, Tirzepatide, MOTS-c, PT-141, and a few that had the guys laughing about where exactly you're supposed to inject them.

Along the way, they discuss peptides hiding in your food (eggs, bone broth, sauerkraut, mushrooms), why aspartame is technically a peptide too, and the difference between supporting your body's natural processes versus messing with gene therapy. As always, the message is the same: tools are tools. Don't reach for the magic injection when whole food and a real lifestyle would do the trick.
