Peptides are everywhere right now — BPC-157, the Wolverine Stack, GLP-1s, NAD+, MOTS-C, GHK-Cu. You've probably heard at least one of them by now. So what are they actually, what does the science support, and where does the hype get ahead of the evidence?
In this conversation, Emylee + Pieter Vodden are joined by Coach Vincent to unpack the rapidly evolving world of peptide therapy — without trying to convince you to be pro- or anti-peptide.
We talk about:
→ What peptides are and how they signal the body
→ The Core 4: energy, recovery, metabolism + hormone health
→ Why peptide medicine isn't actually new
→ Why human research is still limited for many popular compounds
→ BPC-157 + TB-500 and the \"Wolverine Stack\"
→ GLP-1s + the rapidly changing metabolic peptide space
→ Why sourcing matters — grey-market products vs. medically supervised care
→ Bloodwork, cycling + physician oversight
→ Where peptides may fit alongside training, nutrition, sleep + recovery
The biggest takeaway? Emerging ≠ proven. But emerging ≠ worthless either.
Our position at Pharos is simple: build the foundation first, stay curious, stay informed, and don't confuse hype with evidence.
