Peptides: early history and global use

CORRECTION: SS-31 is a synthetic peptide, not an endogenous peptide. MOTS-c is an endougenous peptide.

What you’re about to watch (or listen to) is a little different than my usual solo deep-dive, and I think you’re going to love it.

A couple months ago, Fountain Life reached out to me after seeing my work on peptides. They wanted help integrating peptides into their membership program, and in return they invited me to actually go through their diagnostics as a member so I could experience the process firsthand. I went to their Orlando, Florida facility and did what would normally take seven or eight different doctor visits and specialists… all in one place, in one morning.

The first part of this episode is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of my Day 1 testing, including imaging and data collection that gives you a real baseline to work from. If you’re listening to audio-only, I highly recommend watching the video for that segment because it’s very visual. The second part is the main event: a long-form conversation with Fountain Life’s medical director and CEO, Dr. Bill Cap.

In the podcast, we go deep on the real history of peptides, why so much foundational work came out of places like Russia, and why the U.S. is only now starting to catch up. We talk about what’s hype, what’s timeless, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to longevity and performance. We also get into where peptides are headed next, because as we roll into 2026, the peptide landscape may look a little different than what people have gotten used to over the last few years.

We cover a ton of ground: GLP-1s as a legitimate longevity tool when used intelligently, growth hormone peptide strategies and why cycling matters, mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 and MOTS-c, and why “baseline first” is the missing piece for most people who jump into supplements, peptides, and biohacking without understanding what’s going on under the hood.

This isn’t a paid advertisement. I’m documenting what I’m going through, what my results show, and how I’m thinking about using peptides and other interventions based on real data instead of guesswork. If you’ve ever wanted to see what “precision prevention” actually looks like in the real world, this episode is a great place to start.
