First things first, an apology. It's been quiet in here for a while, and that one's on me. I haven't disappeared, I've just been heads down building a whole clinical training apparatus: live webinars, discussion sessions in between, teaching materials, and protocol breakdowns, all built around what practitioners actually need. The first session kicks off this week, and this is a special invite for this community. It'll be a deep dive into GLP metabolic chemistry: blood sugar regulation, AMPK, GLUT-4, leptin resistance, mTOR signaling, and why optimizing cellular metabolism matters more than just shifting macronutrients. https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xYBVQ7z5TtijeCUklLgMhA#/registration This webinar will be this Thursday, July 30th at 3 p.m. PST. If you register, you'll receive the recording as well. Looking forward to a great discussion!

Hi PPA Gang, I just got back from an amazing weekend facilitating peptide events in SF and LA. A very common question and discussion point was regarding GLP-1s and the media hype around them affecting people's ability to fall in love. Most people felt that this was hype and not true at all. however, I met some people that were taking a high of Reta that felt like this could be the case of them. But that they actually didn't mind this. Based on the literature, i felt that this was more nocebo-induced rather than a real physiological process. But I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or experience?

Welcome to all the new members of the community! This winter season has certainly been very powerful. As many of you know, I have a functional medicine practice. And more than any previous year, a lot of people are experiencing some real winter blues. I've seen a high case of throat infections, sinus issues, lingering influenza, etc. I'm curious if any people in the community are using any immune peptides to support and boost immune health? Or actually any peptides to keep the body winter-proof? Would love to get some community feedback and then I can share my secret winter protocols : )

Hello! I am about to begin the long process of having my tattoos removed. I'm wondering what peptides would help me get the most out of these laser treatments? My guess would be TB-500 and KPV, maybe GHK-Cu? Any musts? Any to stay away from? Thanks in advance! :)

Hiii friends! Happy to be here! I'm wanting to expand my knowledge on peptides and am specifically curious about ones that might be beneficial to someone going through nicotine withdrawals. Alot of people my age got hooked on vapes when they came out and are now struggling to quit... Does anyone have any experience with peptides for addiction?
