In this episode of West Wellness & Longevity, we're taking a deep dive into DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide)—one of the most talked-about peptides for sleep and recovery. We'll explore what DSIP is, how it works in the brain and body, and what current research suggests about its potential role in supporting deep sleep, circadian rhythm, stress response, and overall recovery.

We'll also discuss the proposed mechanisms of action, review findings from both animal and human research, and compare those with the experiences shared by the peptide research community. Finally, we'll cover common research dosing approaches, what researchers hope to achieve with DSIP, and the questions that still remain unanswered.

Whether you're interested in the science of sleep, longevity, or peptide research, this episode provides a balanced, evidence-based overview of one of the most intriguing sleep peptides being studied today.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Tesofensine, a research compound that has gained attention for its potential effects on appetite regulation, weight loss, and metabolic health. We'll explore how Tesofensine works through dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine pathways, what the research shows, and why it was never brought to market despite promising clinical results.

We'll also discuss how Tesofensine differs from GLP-1 medications, why some GLP-1 users experience low motivation or anhedonia, and the potential role Tesofensine may play in supporting appetite control, energy, and reward signaling. As always, we'll review the science, discuss potential risks and considerations, and separate fact from hype so you can make more informed decisions about your health and wellness journey.

Topics covered:

• What Tesofensine is and how it works

• Research on weight loss and appetite suppression

• Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine explained

• Why Tesofensine never reached commercialization

• Tesofensine vs. GLP-1 medications

• Anhedonia, motivation, and reward signaling

• Potential benefits, risks, and safety considerations

• Who may and may not be an appropriate candidate

In this episode, we’re diving into the growing conversation around peptides and autoimmune health, including Thymosin Alpha 1, KPV, VIP, and even GLP peptides. We’ll break down how immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, gut health, metabolic dysfunction, and the nervous system may all play a role in autoimmunity — and why so many people are exploring peptides as tools for immune modulation and inflammatory support.

In this episode, we’re diving into the deeper metabolic and inflammatory side of PCOS — and why so many women feel like their bodies are working against them. We discuss how insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, cortisol dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut health, and nervous system overload may all contribute to PCOS symptoms beyond just reproductive hormones.

We also break down the growing conversation around peptides and metabolic therapies including GLP-1s, MOTS-c, AOD-9604, Cagrilintide, BPC-157, KPV, and VIP — and why they’re becoming increasingly interesting in discussions around metabolism, inflammation, appetite signaling, gut health, and hormonal balance.

We cover:

• Different types of PCOS
• Why PCOS is becoming more common
• Food noise, cravings & insulin resistance
• The gut-health and inflammation connection
• Cortisol, stress & nervous system dysfunction
• Why many women feel metabolically “stuck”
• Functional health perspectives on PCOS
• The importance of personalized approaches

This episode is all about understanding the root physiology behind PCOS and exploring why the conversation around metabolic health and peptides is evolving so quickly.

In this episode of the West Wellness & Longevity Podcast, we break down one of the most common frustrations in GLP-1 research — the dreaded “stall.” Why do some individuals initially respond strongly to GLP-based peptides like tirzepatide, retatrutide, or semaglutide, only to see progress slow over time? We explore the research behind metabolic adaptation, receptor desensitization, appetite signaling, energy expenditure, and why the body may begin resisting continued weight loss. We also discuss emerging strategies being explored in the research space, including dose timing, pathway diversification, peptide stacking, and cycling approaches.

Takeaways:

• The stalling of weight loss while on GLP medications is multifactorial and varies significantly among individuals.
• Metabolic adaptation occurs as weight is lost, leading to a decrease in basal metabolic rate and energy expenditure.
• Inadequate protein intake can negatively impact satiety and lead to increased calorie consumption during weight loss efforts.
• Chronic stress and insufficient sleep can interfere with hormonal regulation, ultimately affecting the efficacy of GLP treatments.
