Peptides Explained: The Truth About Biohacking, Healing & Human Potential with Chris Duffin

About this episode

In this episode, Bizzie Gold interviews Chris Duffin to explore the science behind peptides and their impact on health optimization and human potential.

Health optimization has become one of the loudest conversations online — and also one of the most confusing. Peptides. Supplements. Red light therapy. Cold plunges. Nervous system regulation. Everyone has a protocol, and everyone claims theirs is the answer. But almost nobody slows down long enough to ask the deeper questions: Why does something actually work? Who does it work for? And what happens when optimization becomes disconnected from recovery, resilience, and internal regulation? In this episode of Decoded, I sit down with strength innovator and systems thinker Chris Duffin to unpack the real science behind peptides — from mitochondrial health and metabolic regulation to brain repair, injury recovery, and longevity. Chris has spent over two decades working at the intersection of biomechanics, cellular biology, and performance optimization. From designing equipment used by professional sports teams to pioneering peptide protocols long before they became mainstream, his work focuses on one question: What are human beings actually capable of when the conditions are right? We break down: What peptides actually are and how they work in the body Why mitochondrial health may be…
