Between GLP-1 revolutionizing cutting, retatrutide transforming lives, and recovery peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500, the hype has never been greater. But behind the hype, what actually works? What's just marketing hype? And most importantly, what are the real risks that few dare to discuss? In this new episode, I'm joined by Alex for an unfiltered podcast about peptides. You'll discover: – The fundamental difference between a peptide and an anabolic steroid – Why GLP-1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide) are game-changers for weight loss – The good and bad candidates for this type of protocol – The real problem of counterfeiting and how to spot a fake peptide – The ethical debate surrounding peptides in bodybuilding and the natural weight class – Our decision-making framework for determining if a peptide truly has a place in your approach This podcast is not an endorsement of peptide use. It's an educational discussion to help you reason and better understand this sensitive topic, with two practitioners who work daily with athletes and coaches. Who am I? My name is Louis, aka ThePrepDad. I hold an MSc in Exercise Science (Ulster University) and over 60 qualifications in fitness and nutrition. I guide coaches and athletes towards a reasoned, scientific, and sustainable approach to training. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is purely educational. No product mentioned is an endorsement.
