Six Peptides Compounding Pharmacies

In this Iron Radio episode, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery open with Phil's torn meniscus and his recovery after squatting and deadlifting 600 lbs on it at a recent meet with his son. The conversation shifts to a major FDA update: an advisory panel's recommendation to let compounding pharmacies make six wellness peptides, including BPC-157 and TB-500, despite very limited human safety data. The hosts dig into the placebo-heavy evidence behind peptide healing claims, the FDA politics and money behind the decision, and how peptide and GLP-1 use has exploded from a bodybuilder niche into the general population, including a growing number of women.
