Peptides are one of the hottest and most misunderstood tools in longevity medicine. They promise faster recovery, better performance, and even slower aging. But what are they really doing in the body, and how safe are they? Please visit my website to get more information: http://beyondtomorrowpodcast.com/
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neil Paulvin, an anti-aging and regenerative physician who works with elite athletes and high-performance entrepreneurs, and Dr. Jenna Burton, the medical director at ZOIME, to cut through the hype and reveal what you really need to know.
We explore exactly what peptides are, how they work, and where they fit in the “longevity pyramid.” You’ll learn the difference between regulated and unregulated sources, why sourcing and dosing matter, and how to spot red flags when buying peptides. The doctors share their go-to compounds like BPC-157 and Moxie, their thoughts on stacking, cycling, and personalising protocols, and why peptides should support - not replace - lifestyle foundations.
We also unpack lessons from the recent RAADFest safety incident, discuss the growing need for regulation, and look ahead to how peptide use might evolve by 2030. Whether you’re curious about anti-inflammatory effects, recovery, brain health, or long-term disease prevention, this conversation offers a clear, practical roadmap to starting your peptide journey safely and effectively.
