What's the deal with peptides?
About this episode
Emily and Perry discuss the effects and risks of peptides as a health treatment.
This week, Emily and Perry tackle peptides, the purported panacea for all health ailments. Can an injection of these tiny bits of protein actually boost your metabolism, plump up your skin, heal your injuries, and overall prolong your life? And what could possibly go wrong when you inject a peptide stack of dubious origin anyway? Plus: mRNA flu vaccines, hormone replacement therapy, and the optimal time to hoard condoms at the Olympic Village (wink wink). Submit a question for our weekly mailbag at wellnessactually.fm.
