Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yeah, and we don't have a data set that would show that.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Like, where's the body count from growth hormone?

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Like, the bodybuilder body counts are from other compounds.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Oh, they're doing everything.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yeah, exactly.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

I mean, when you go into a gym, you can tell who's doing growth hormone versus not based on their skin shining.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

I see.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

You see a 45-year-old dude that's through somatopause but has perfect young skin and there's Botox and all the other things involved.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

But you can tell there's that growth hormone look.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The hair looks a little bit healthier because growth hormone favors the conversion of T4 to T3.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So it changes the thyroid dynamics.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

It can have progesticular effects as well from the IGF-1 perspective.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So there's a lot of, you know, youthful effects to it.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The question is, is that...

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

then a good idea to replace it.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Traditionally, like the medical field is kind of anti using these secretogogs to augment somatopause.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

But I think there's going to be a role for it, perhaps cyclically, because I don't think anything in nature is re-around.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So what if you did a cyclical cycle of, and this is not medical advice, but theoretical, cyclical cycle of tesamorelin for a certain amount of time, got your IGF-1 to a certain level under clinician guidance, measured

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

your thymus on an MRI before and after, and then you saw that the thymus grew and you had, you know, higher CD4, CD8 count, that would be pretty interesting.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

It would be interesting.
