Peptides aren’t just the new trendy thing in health. They are vital for addressing so many conditions and diseases. What are some of the many different health concerns it can be applied to? Why is selectivity so important if you’re using peptides in the long-term? What are the best peptides for building muscle? On this episode, we talk to VP of Business Development at Tailor Made Compounding, Ryan Smith, to go deep on peptides and their applications.   Three Takeaways The people who hold the money in the sick care model are not the doctors or the patients-- it’s third-party payers and insurance companies. The only people who benefit from SARMs are people selling it underground. Falstatin for human therapy is tricky because it hasn’t been thoroughly tested. Thymosin beta-4 and BPC are repair and recovery products that athletes should be able to use.   At the start, Ryan shared how he got started in the industry, and we talked about the problems with the sick care model. We then discussed the strengths and benefits of peptides, muscle-building peptides, and dealing with hypertrophy. Toward the end, we discussed Cerebrolysin for anxiety, opiate-withdrawal and pain management. We also covered: Using tesamorelin and ipamorelin Whether SARMs are really worth it How peptides can benefit injured athletes The sick care model has completely failed. People get worse, become dependent on drugs, and never get healthy. This is what’s driving the interest and use of peptides. They are the future of medicine because of just how many health and optimization problems they can solve. Peptides are great because they don’t have many side effects from a metabolizing standpoint, and you don’t have to worry about drug interactions.   Guest Bio- Ryan is the VP of Business Development at Tailor Made Compounding.
