About this episode

Dr. Anthony Youn and Dr. Shawn Tassone discuss the growing popularity of peptides in health, their benefits, and safety concerns.

In this episode, I’m joined by board-certified OBGYN and integrative medicine physician Dr. Shawn Tassone to break down one of the fastest-growing topics in health today: peptides. We discuss what peptides are, how they work in the body, and why they've become so popular for everything from weight loss and longevity to muscle recovery and inflammation. We also take a closer look at some of the most talked-about peptides, including semaglutide, tirzepatide, BPC-157, MOTS-c, tesamorelin, and more, discussing the current research, potential benefits, safety concerns, and which ones may actually be worth considering. If you've ever wondered whether peptides are the future of medicine or simply the latest health trend, this episode is for you! 🔗 Links and Resources: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
