#1 Peptide Expert: How to reverse aging and hair loss with peptides

May 4, 2025
59:43

Today, my guest is Ryan Smith, a biotech innovator, epigenetics expert, and founder of TruDiagnostic, one of the world’s most advanced labs for biological age testing, DNA methylation analysis, and epigenetic clocks.


He previously founded Tailor Made Compounding, a peptide pharmacy that became fastest-growing healthcare company in the U.S., generating $80 million in revenue in just three years.In this episode, Ryan breaks down the science of anti-aging and longevity peptides, including Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin, SS-31, MOTS-c, Os-01, thymosin alpha-1, and ATX-304—covering how they work, when to use them, and their roles in mitochondrial health, fat loss, muscle growth, immune modulation, and biological rejuvenation.We also discuss FDA regulations around peptides and how peptides compare to pharmaceuticals and lifestyle interventions. We also cover hair growth and skin anti-aging peptides and how to use them.In the second part of the episode, we cover biological age testing (epigenetic age testing), including DunedinPACE, PhenoAge, and telomere length. Finally, Ryan shares his personal peptide protocols for longevity.FREE GUIDEDownload a free supplement guide: https://inkaland.co/supplement-guide------------------------------------------------------
