Finally caught up on the California governor debates. What a waste of time! Simple questions get 3 types of replies: Aspirational nonsense, focus on the errors of others, or tap dance maybes. I really think there should just be yes, no, or pass buttons to answer these.

I don’t know if GLP meds make people less excited and motivated overall. We need more data on that (and I haven’t tried them so can’t say) but one thing is for sure: GLP meds make people very excited about GLP meds. Side effect seems to be inclined to evangelize about GLPs.

3 things set the stage for peptides to become a WAY bigger than “supplements”: 1) GLPs (with RCT support) inadvertently made the “peptide” label seem generally approachable 2) GLPs made people less wary of injecting themselves 3) Women & men of many ages are peptide curious

MUCH OF LEARNING (IN DOGS & HUMANS) IS TOP DOWN INHIBITION •

Much of learning involves adjusting the connections between the prefrontal cortex and deeper brain structures that control impulses. Indeed, if you look at motor learning in humans or other mammals, you’ll notice that most of building a skill is about eliminating incorrect aspects of a movement.

This is my second bulldog mutt, and as with the last one (Costello) I started the training early at 9 weeks.

Strummer is doing a great job learning to suppress his impulse to move aka “sit” and to come when called, to stay calm around food and all the rest.

Dogs have a tiny prefrontal cortex relative to humans but they can multipurpose it to learn lots of things and lots of different scenarios. They are oh so smart. But it is kind of fun to think about how they’re training you as well.

Indeed training a bulldog breed (because they’re so stubborn) is also about training yourself in patience. Strummer is part mastiff and boxer/pi

The (hard for some to accept) reality is that the popularity of GLPs, which of course have lots of RCTs to support them, are actually what opened the doors for the immense interest in all the other peptides. People are conceptual lumpers not splitters. & now its is no going back.

On the HLP episode with Scott Galloway we talked about how many men reach out to us discussing their challenges with pornography in terms of how it impacts their relationships, and other aspects of life. @NicoleRPrause cited research to the contrary. IMO: Warrants discussion!

This is out of date. Sermorelin spiked my PSA so I stopped it after a short run and PSA went back to normal. It also increased deep sleep, but at the expense of REM. I am personally not a fan of Sermorelin. I updated this on several podcasts. Track your numbers folks!

So many of my “conventional” (not in the health and wellness space or even online much) MD friends are asking about peptides to 1) get educated (patients are asking them about peptides) 2) they want to know if BPC can help their knee or shoulder or whatever. Wild.

Given the immense interest in peptides and divergent views about peptides of various types, I assembled a small collection of experts that I’ll be talking to (separately) on the podcast. No matter what your stance is on peptides, it’s wise get educated! They are definitely here to stay!

The real question is: what is the 2026 equivalent of this? All answers welcome.
