Should you use PEPTIDES... nobody talks about this

In this episode, I sat down again with JacobFoods and Ian Byington to dive deep into the world of peptides, performance enhancement, and the rise of biohacking culture. We broke down everything from BPC-157 and growth hormone to TRT, steroid risks, and what’s really happening with young men chasing optimization. We also touched on personal responsibility, misinformation, and the blurred line between medical necessity and cosmetic enhancement. As always, it was a real conversation - no agendas, no shaming - just open dialogue around a complicated but important topic. @JacobFoods   @Contraryian  ► 🔗 https://stan.store/santacruzmedicinalsDisclaimer: This video is does not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.Subscribe and follow the life of Santa Cruz Medicinals helping people get healthy!Edited by Nick Thompson https://www.redrootsfilms.com

I was challenged on seed oils and artificial sweeteners... here's the real take

In this episode, I sat down with JacobFoods and Ian Byington to dive into some of the most debated topics in health and nutrition. We covered everything from raw milk, seed oils, and plant defense chemicals to fiber, artificial sweeteners, and the truth about calories in vs. calories out. We also got into how food choices impact gut health, mental health, and why I still create fast food content. It was a real conversation about nuance, disagreement without hostility, and how we can help people make better choices without shaming them. @JacobFoods   @Contraryian  ► 🔗 https://stan.store/santacruzmedicinalsDisclaimer: This video is does not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.Subscribe and follow the life of Santa Cruz Medicinals helping people get healthy!Edited by Nick Thompson https://www.redrootsfilms.com

Lofe gets real about the mental pressure that comes with being a full-time creator—how the grind nearly pushed him to quit, and what it took to pull himself back.
