There's a very defined order of operations when you're dealing with issues like that. And they don't all involve peptides.

Right. Sometimes you have to stabilize your system before you can bring the peptides on board. Sometimes the peptide can be helpful. But if you bring a peptide in too soon, sometimes it'll make you worse or it won't do anything. Right. And you're wasting your money and your resources. And frankly, you're wasting time when you could be getting better. That's right.

You know, kind of peddling on the spot. So I think in the peptide space, we... Those of us who are in it have to be mindful to be really responsible and to guide people in the best possible way and take our egos and stick them to the side and really look at the person in front of us and say, what's going to serve this person? What's going to help them?

And you're a bodybuilder and you're trying to get 10,000 calories a day.

So... So what a peptide is, is a small protein. It's as simple as that. There are 50 amino acids or shorter.

Right. And an amino acid, as I'm sure your community knows because of their background, are the building blocks of protein. And we know the proteins are signaling very powerful signaling molecules in the body. That's what they do. They're folded up into little origami shapes. Sometimes they have to unfold a little bit.

And we know the proteins are signaling very powerful signaling molecules in the body. That's what they do. They're folded up into little origami shapes. Sometimes they have to unfold a little bit.

Sometimes that origami shape presents something like a lock and key, like you have a receptor. The origami shape is the perfect fit for that receptor. And that's how the peptides work. So that's what they are. And what is so fascinating about them is because All the peptides that we're talking about really are fragments of proteins that are naturally occurring in the body.

And this is where it gets interesting. This is why a lot of people say nothing could possibly go wrong with a peptide. Peptides are natural. Your body knows peptides. Your body knows what to do with them, which is true and not true.

Because when we take a fragment of a peptide, we now reintroduce it into the body in a concentrated way in order to elicit a certain response, you're circumventing some of the body's natural pathways.

Now, the cool thing is you're not knocking out any of the natural feedback loops that may be in existence, which is why in the bodybuilding world, people are like, well, this is bullshit because I'm not going to get the jump in testosterone or HGH or whatever it is that I can get by bringing an exogenous growth hormone or testosterone. True that.
