Everyone's Talking About Peptides. Almost Nobody Understands Them!! Ft: Duncan Forbes
<p>Duncan Forbes is back for round two, and this one is nothing like our first chat about becoming a good man and holding your standards.</p><p></p><p>This time we go straight into peptides. Duncan is a trainer of thirteen years who tore his ACL playing soccer, and instead of just following the standard rehab path he spent two months researching how to come back faster and stronger. </p><p></p><p>He is now running the Wolverine stack, BPC-157 and TB-500, under a physician, and documenting the whole thing publicly.</p><p>If you have heard the word peptide thrown around the gym and have no idea what it actually means, this is the episode. Duncan breaks down what peptides really are, messengers that tell your body to do something, not magic pills.</p><p></p><p>He explains why insulin and the GLP-1s sit in the same family, why the rodent studies look incredible while the human trials are basically non-existent, and the risk nobody wants to say out loud, that anything telling your cells to grow can also feed something already in there you do not know about.</p><p>We get into the uncomfortable stuff too. Why the fitness industry resents GLP-1s and why Duncan thinks that is the wrong take. The clients he has trained who lost weight and lean muscle at the same time with no one warning them.</p><p></p><p>If you are curious about peptides, weighing up a GLP-1, or just trying to work out what is real and what is hype in the recovery and longevity space, you will walk away understanding what these compounds actually do, what the trade-offs are, and what still has to be in place around them for any of it to matter.</p><p></p><p>Personal trainer of twelve to thirteen years, Pilates instructor and nutrition coach based in the US. Currently studying the peptide space while rehabbing his own ACL reconstruction and sharing the results as he goes.</p><p><b>Connect with Duncan</b></p><p>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/forbes_healthandwellness/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/forbes_healthandwellness/</a></p><p><b>Connect with The Growth Concept</b></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.thegrowthconcept.com.au" target="_blank">www.thegrowthconcept.com.au</a></p>
