My Top Peptide Stack for Mental Clarity & Muscle Repair | Alex Kikel (E004)
Alex Kikel is a clinician focused on advanced hormone optimisation, mitochondrial health, and neurochemical balance and in this episode, we unpack what it really takes to upgrade the human system at every level.
We get into why most people approach optimisation backwards, chasing surface-level tools without building foundational capacity first. Alex breaks down how to layer protocols based on biological priorities: starting with circadian rhythm, blood sugar control, and mineral status, before moving into peptides, thyroid support, and androgen management. We also cover the smart use of methylene blue, the dangers of overusing NAD+, and how to interpret biofeedback in real time.
