Episode 08.05.2026 - Peptides, To Trust or Not to Trust?

SUMMARY

Peptides are everywhere, cosmetics, food, shampoos, vaccines, and the injectables flooding social media and we've had nonstop customer service questions about them at Nature Wins.

In this episode, Dr. Ardis breaks down what peptides actually are (short chains of amino acids engineered using DNA plasmid technology), then walks through Harvard Health's and plastic surgery experts' warnings on the injectable peptide boom, from BPC-157 and TB-500 to Sermorelin, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, and Tesamorelin. He covers the FDA's Category 1 versus Category 2 compounding list, which of the 14 popular peptides are becoming legal again for compounding pharmacies and which remain restricted plus the full master list of FDA-approved peptide drugs, including GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, so you can check whether a peptide someone you know is using has ever actually been reviewed by the FDA.

Dr. Ardis references his bestselling book, Moving Beyond the COVID-19 Lies, for the deeper science on DNA plasmids and venom peptides.
