273. The New Wave of Peptides That Could Change How We Age and Perform

About this episode

The peptide space is moving so fast that by the time a compound starts blowing up online, there is already something newer coming behind it. If you care about performance, recovery, body composition, hormones, or longevity, you need to know where this field is heading before the next wave of protocols and opinions hits your feed. Knowing what people are experimenting with now gives you a much better chance of separating something worth watching from another compound getting hyped to hell. In this episode, Alex Kikel and I get into the new peptides, small molecules, and therapies starting to push this space forward. We talk about what is developing around mitochondria and endogenous hormone production, why Klotho is getting more attention, how far this conversation is moving beyond traditional peptides, and several compounds that could be names you hear a hell of a lot more about over the next few years. Alex has spent roughly a decade studying and applying peptides, small molecules, bioregulators, and emerging compounds through his own experimentation and work with clients. His background also includes relationships with professionals connected to Eli Lilly and Pfizer, independ
