Takeaways:

The peptide Cagrilintide, also known as a synthetic analog of amylin, plays a vital role in regulating satiety, gastric emptying, and blood sugar control.

Unlike GLP-1 agonists, Cagrilintide mimics amylin, thereby targeting different pathways to reduce appetite and improve glucose regulation without significant side effects such as nausea.

Research indicates that combining Cagrilintide with GLP-1 medications could enhance weight loss results and appetite management for individuals experiencing plateaus in their weight loss journey.

Individuals who experience stalls on GLP-1s or those seeking to cycle off these medications may find Cagrilintide to be a beneficial adjunct in their weight management protocols.

It is paramount for individuals to consult with their healthcare providers before initiating any peptide treatments to ensure safety and efficacy tailored to their specific health conditions.

Cagrilintide may not serve as a replacement for GLP-1s in diabetic patients, but it can complement their treatment by providing additional appetite suppression and metabolic benefi

In this episode I’m diving into the powerful impact peptides can have on sleep, something I’ve been really focused on lately. I share my personal experience using two peptides that have made a noticeable difference for me: Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide (DSIP) and Epitalon. We break down how these compounds work, specifically how they help regulate cortisol and boost melatonin production to support deeper, more restorative sleep.

I also touch on why quality sleep, especially deep and REM sleep, is essential for everything from mental clarity to physical recovery. Whether you’re new to peptides or already experimenting, the goal here is to give you real insight and practical knowledge to help you make smarter decisions on your health journey.

Takeaways:

• The Peptique's ongoing challenges with social media platforms raise concerns about censorship in health discussions.
• Peptides like D SIP and epitalin offer significant benefits for improving sleep quality and regulating cortisol levels.
• Deep sleep is crucial for cellular repair, growth hormone release, and overall metabolic health.
• Research indicates that peptides can enhance sleep architecture without the adverse effects associated with traditional sleep medications.

In this episode, I’m breaking down some of the biggest mistakes people make when getting started with peptides. Honestly, it can feel like the wild west out there—so much info, so many opinions, and not a lot of clarity. I’ve been in this space for a while now, and I’ve definitely learned a lot through trial and error. That’s why I always tell people: do your research before jumping into any peptide protocol.

One of the most important things I’ve found is that you have to know your goal before choosing a peptide. Are you trying to lose fat? Sleep better? Boost your focus? Having a clear goal makes it so much easier to pick the right peptide and get results that actually match what you’re aiming for.

I also talk about stacking—what works, what doesn’t, and why randomly combining peptides without understanding how they work can totally backfire. I’ve seen it happen. Dosing is another big one. More isn’t always better, and starting too high or too low can lead to disappointment—or side effects.

At the end of the day, peptides are powerful tools, but they’re not magic. They work best when you’ve already got your basics dialed in—nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery. This episode is all about helping you lay that foundation so you can actually get the most out of your peptide journey.
