Show Notes
Dean Henry returns to break down the peptide landscape after FDA changes, share his personal stack, and explain why biological individuality matters more than cookie-cutter protocols.
Learn why insulin has been around for 100 years as a peptide, but people don't realise the connection, how KPV and BPC work orally for gut health because they don't need to break through the bloodstream, and why stacking 18 peptides simultaneously makes no sense.
This covers Mike's first injection experience and why he wants to try retatrutide on micro-dosing, how BPC makes receptors more sensitive when stacked, why most people think retatrutide isn't working because they're still hungry instead of realising they get fuller quicker, and Dean's current five-peptide stack for body composition while travelling.

Dr Olli Sovijärvi is a medical doctor and biohacker who’s spent 13 years researching how to actually reverse ageing. He breaks down why your NAD levels matter, why the basics (grounding, sunlight, movement) always win, and why living in a megacity is fighting biology itself.
Dean Henry returns for a conversation on all things bioregulators and breaks down why they're a different category of peptides altogether.
Dr Darren Candow has published over 1000 peer-reviewed studies on creatine, and he's found something surprising: the optimal dose depends entirely on what you're trying to achieve, and it's probably not what you've been taking.
Dr Jeremy London is a cardiovascular surgeon who breaks down why blood vessel health matters infinitely more than your heart rate, the ecosystem most cardiologists ignore, and why extreme endurance training and steroids create the exact same cardiac damage. Find out what you can actually change starting tomorrow and why VO2 max isn't the only number worth tracking.
Nathan Carvalho calls himself a human optimisation architect because most people are getting the sequence wrong. He spends weeks connecting the dots between your gut doctor, thyroid doctor, trainer, and nutritionist - people who don't talk to each other but should.
