Beyond the Scale: The Bigger Story of Peptides With Guest Brandy Buskow

My guest this episode is Brandy Buskow and we discuss what has become one of the most talked-about areas in health and wellness.; PEPTIDES We hear about them for weight loss, metabolic health, recovery, longevity—and increasingly, for applications that go far beyond the number on the scale. But what exactly are peptides? What are they actually doing in the body? And as medications like GLP-1s become more widely used, are we looking at powerful tools for improving health and preventing disease—or are we moving faster than our understanding of their long-term effects? And then there are the questions many people are asking: What does it actually feel like to take one? What happens when you stop? Do you have to stay on them for life? What about muscle loss, digestive health, food noise and our brain’s reward system? And perhaps most importantly, where does personal responsibility end and a physician’s responsibility begin when prescribing these medications?
