The Hidden Risk In The Drugs Kids Buy Online, with Regan Archibald
About this episode
The episode discusses the risks of kids buying weight-loss drugs online and features insights from Regan Archibald on how to address these issues with children.
A dad walked up to me at an event and asked what I thought about a 14-year-old injecting themselves with a weight-loss drug, and then his fidgety, insecure son stepped out from behind him. I had no idea this world even existed, so I called Regan Archibald, founder of Ageless Future and author of The Peptide Blueprint, because he has been the OG voice on peptides for years. Here's the thing most parents don't know yet: kids as young as 12 are now chasing GLP-1 drugs to "get cut," trials are being planned for far younger children, and the stuff a lot of them buy online is contaminated junk that can quietly poison them for months before anyone notices. Regan walks me through the exact script he'd use with his own son, why you never lead with the downsides, and the one thing that actually works better than any injection. You'll walk away knowing the red flags to watch for, why shame sends kids underground, and how to point them toward doing hard things instead of taking a shortcut that costs them their health.
