Sermorelin and ipamorelin both aim to support the body's own growth hormone pulses, but they work through completely different receptors. This episode walks through the GHRH pathway sermorelin uses, the ghrelin receptor pathway ipamorelin uses, and why that distinction matters for side effects, dosing timing, and who each option might suit.

We also talk through why providers frequently combine the two, what a typical evening dosing schedule looks like, and the kinds of questions worth asking a licensed provider before starting any peptide protocol. Compounded peptides are prepared by licensed pharmacies for individual patients and are not FDA-approved, so a proper evaluation matters.

In this episode we unpack the CJC-1295 ipamorelin peptide blend, a compounded growth hormone therapy that pairs two peptides working on different pituitary pathways. We cover why these two molecules are combined rather than used alone, what patients commonly report around sleep, recovery and body composition, and how this blend compares to other peptide combinations some providers discuss.

We also walk through the side effects worth watching for, who should generally avoid this therapy, and what the prescribing process looks like once a licensed provider determines it is an appropriate option. Compounded medications discussed here are prepared by licensed pharmacies for individual patients and are not FDA-approved, and nothing in this episode replaces a personal evaluation with a qualified provider.

In this episode we take an honest look at epitalon peptide, the four amino acid compound studied for its effects on telomerase, cellular aging, and sleep. We trace its origins back to Russian pineal gland research from the nineteen eighties, examine what the telomerase and lifespan studies in cells and animals actually show, and explain why that evidence has not yet been confirmed in large human trials. We also cover the more human focused sleep and circadian rhythm research, typical research dosing protocols, and how epitalon stacks up against other longevity peptides. Throughout, we emphasize why working with a licensed provider matters, since any compounded peptide therapy is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient and is not an FDA approved medication.

In this episode, we walk through what patients should actually expect from glutathione IV and injection therapy, starting with the common mild reactions like a metallic taste, brief headache, or injection site soreness, and moving into the less common effects such as dizziness or a patchy rash. We also cover the rare but serious signs, like swelling of the throat or difficulty breathing, that mean treatment should stop right away and a provider should be contacted immediately.

We also talk about who should pause and have a deeper conversation before starting, including people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with G six P D deficiency, kidney disease, or anyone currently in chemotherapy. Compounded glutathione is not FDA approved, and every prescription is based on an individual evaluation by a licensed provider, so we close with a look at how that evaluation process works and what to expect if you decide to move forward.

Oral progesterone and progesterone cream take very different paths through the body, and that difference shapes two things that matter most in hormone therapy: how well you sleep and how reliably the uterine lining is protected. This episode walks through how each form is absorbed, why the pill often produces a calming effect the cream does not, and why providers lean toward oral dosing when estrogen is part of the regimen and a uterus is still present.

We also cover how perimenopause complicates the decision, common side effects for each form, and what compounded progesterone means in practice, since compounded preparations are made by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient and are not FDA approved. If you're weighing your options, this episode gives you the background to bring a sharper, more specific list of questions to your own provider.

In this episode we take a clear eyed look at pinealon, a short bioregulator peptide that keeps coming up in brain health and longevity conversations. We explain what it is, how it fits among other peptides like thymosin alpha one and GHK copper, and why the human research behind it remains limited and early stage.

We also walk through how a compounded pinealon blend is typically accessed through a licensed provider, what safety considerations matter most, and who should be cautious. The goal is to give you an honest, grounded understanding so you can have an informed conversation with a provider rather than relying on unverified claims.

MOTS-c is a mitochondria derived peptide that has generated a lot of excitement in longevity and biohacking communities, with online claims about fat loss and anti-aging that go well beyond what the science currently supports. In this episode, we walk through what MOTS-c actually is, how it is thought to interact with the AMPK energy pathway, and what animal studies versus the still limited human research actually demonstrate.

We also place MOTS-c alongside other longevity peptides like NAD plus, thymosin alpha one, and tesamorelin to show how the evidence base differs across the field, and we talk honestly about where compounded peptides and medications fit into a metabolic health plan. If you are weighing emerging research against more established options, this episode offers a clear, grounded starting point and explains why a conversation with a licensed provider matters more than a forum post.

NAD+ injections are everywhere in longevity conversations right now, but how strong is the actual evidence behind them. In this episode we walk through what NAD+ does inside your cells, what human research currently shows about energy, mental clarity, and recovery, and where that evidence still falls short compared to the marketing claims you might have seen online.

We also compare subcutaneous injections, IV infusions, and oral precursors like NMN and NR, talk through common side effects and safety considerations, and lay out realistic cost expectations. If you are weighing whether NAD+ therapy makes sense for your goals, this episode gives you a grounded, honest starting point before you talk to a licensed provider.
