On this episode of Performance Driven Living, Mark Young sits down with Jay Campbell — 5x international bestselling author, men’s physique champion, and founder of BioLongevity Labs — for a no-BS masterclass on peptides, GLP-1s (semaglutide/tirzepatide), hormone optimization (TRT), metabolic health, and spiritual sovereignty. If you’re a biohacker, longevity seeker, fitness pro, or simply health-curious, this episode is packed with actionable insights: how to use GLP-1s the right way (microdosing, not “more is better”), Jay’s 4 non-negotiables to protect muscle and metabolism, real-world injury recovery stacks (BPC-157/TB-500/GHK-Cu), the rise of bioregulators, and the next wave of delivery tech (near-injectable-efficacy buccal peptide strips). We also get into the culture shift around men’s health, why protein targets matter more than you think, and how to build a truly performance-driven life without chasing shortcuts. Timestamps 00:06:32 — Why peptides hit mainstream + the GLP-1 boom, myths vs. real benefits

00:11:56 — Jay’s 4 non-negotiables for GLP-1 success: protein, hormone balance, lifting, insulin control

00:25:49 — Real-world healing: BPC-157 • TB-500 • GHK-Cu “Wolverine” recovery stack (use responsibly)

00:33:04 — New delivery tech: near-injectable buccal peptide strips and simpler stacks for consumers

00:53:42 — What’s next: NAD+ + MOTS-C + 5-Amino-1MQ “metabolic energy” blend Jay is developing What we’ll lean: how to set protein targets (≈1 g per lb of goal bodyweight), why hormone optimization (especially for women, too) must come before aggressive fat loss, how to preserve lean mass while using semaglutide/tirzepatide, smarter microdosing strategies, when to use CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, Epitalon, BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and why patient compliance and simplified stacks beat complicated “kitchen sink” protocols. We also talk decentralizing health, building resilience, and choosing tools that serve your life — not the other way around.
