About this episode
Peptides are everywhere in the health & performance world—but what are they actually? In this episode, Andrew breaks down what peptides are, why they’ve exploded in popularity, and what research has and hasn't been done.
We'll e go deeper on two of the most talked-about peptides: BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) and GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide). We cover what they’re commonly used for (tendon/ligament recovery, wound healing, gut support, skin and hair), the proposed mechanisms (inflammation regulation, nitric oxide support, angiogenesis, collagen/elastin signaling), and circumstances where Andrew would recommend avoiding them (active cancer or a strong cancer concern due to blood vessel growth signaling).
If you’ve been hearing peptide hype online and want a grounded overview—this is your starting point.
