Dean Henry has been experimenting with peptides for years, and he's seeing results that traditional supplements can't match, but the peptide world is full of fake products and dangerous advice.
In this episode, you'll hear which peptides deliver on their promises, the specific protocols he uses for recovery and performance, and why pharma-grade sourcing matters more than you think. Plus, the risks nobody talks about and which peptides are worth considering once you've mastered training, nutrition, and sleep.

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.
