In Part 2, Chris Lewis continues the conversation with functional medicine physician Dr. Jim Portzer about using health data, lifestyle changes, and medically supervised therapies to support long-term wellness.

They discuss:

• Why testosterone levels may decline
• The importance of regular bloodwork
• How GHK-Cu may support collagen, hair, nails, and skin
• Realistic timelines for seeing results
• Why peptides should enhance—not replace—nutrition and exercise
• CJC-1295 and ipamorelin timing
• Insulin resistance, blood pressure, cholesterol, and obesity
• The role of strength training, sleep, stress, and social connection
• Why GLP-1 medications should not be viewed only as weight-loss tools
• Using medication responsibly and under medical supervision

The main message: peptides and medications can be valuable tools, but lasting results still begin with the basics—strength training, proper nutrition, regular activity, quality sleep, bloodwork, and preventative care.
