Oral Semaglutide show art Oral Semaglutide

The Peptide Podcast

Today, we’re diving into an exciting development in obesity treatment—oral semaglutide.  Last week, the FDA approved Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill as the first and only oral GLP-1 for weight loss in adults. This approval is based on results from the OASIS-4 phase 3 clinical trial showing that a once-daily oral version of semaglutide can deliver nearly the same weight loss results as the injectable form.  So, what does that really mean for patients and treatment options? Let’s break it down. Read the Full Episode Transcript: https://pepties.com/oral-semaglutide/ Dr. Nikki's...

DSIP Peptide Therapy for Sleep show art DSIP Peptide Therapy for Sleep

The Peptide Podcast

Today we’re talking about sleep — something that affects every system in the body, yet is often overlooked until it becomes a problem. Not just how many hours you’re in bed, but how deeply you sleep, how well your body restores overnight, and whether you actually wake up feeling rested.  We’re also going to talk about a peptide that’s been getting more attention in the wellness space for sleep support: DSIP, or Delta Sleep–Inducing Peptide.

NAD+, GHK-Cu, and the Push Patch show art NAD+, GHK-Cu, and the Push Patch

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we’re diving into the combined power of high-dose NAD+ and GHK-Cu. I’m genuinely excited about the technology behind a product called the Push Patch. It uses iontophoresis— which is a completely non-invasive technology that uses gentle electrical currents to push these ingredients deep into the skin and directly into circulation. But really, this episode isn’t about the product itself—it’s about what’s inside it and how it’s delivered. Read the Full Episode Transcript: https://pepties.com/nad-ghk-cu-and-the-push-patch/...

Creatine Explained show art Creatine Explained

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about supplements out there: creatine. You’ve probably heard the basics — it can help you lift heavier and get stronger. But creatine isn’t just a gym supplement. It’s also being studied for brain health, recovery after stroke, and even certain muscle disorders. In this episode, we’ll break down what creatine actually is, where it comes from — in food and in supplements — how it works in your body, the real benefits, the real risks, and how to dose it safely and effectively.

Cialis and Anti-Aging show art Cialis and Anti-Aging

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today I want to talk about the use of Cialis (tadalafil), beyond erectile dysfunction, because research is showing its potential as an anti-aging therapy. And while, Cialis is not a peptide, it sometimes comes up in the same conversations because of its role in anti-aging. We’ll break down how Cialis works for erectile dysfunction in addition to its effects on the heart, brain health, muscle performance, inflammation, and even surprising benefits for women. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of how Cialis might fit into a long-term...

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today we’re going to talk about something that’s becoming really important for anyone taking medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP‑1 receptor agonists. You probably already know the benefits of GLP-1s—smaller appetite, better blood sugar control, and noticeable weight loss. But here’s the catch: eating less can sometimes mean you’re also taking in fewer essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs.  In this episode, we’re going to explore how to make sure every bite counts and when it might make sense to...

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today we’re diving into a compound ATX‑304. It’s often referred to as “exercise in a pill”. And after we go through the science together you’ll see why. We’ll cover the back‑story, how it works, how it differs from typical mitochondrial supplements, animal and human data so far, who this may and may not be for — and importantly, what to watch out for.  Read the Full Episode Transcript: https://pepties.com/atx-304-exercise-in-a-bottle/ Dr. Nikki's Qualifications: https://bifat.life/about/ Related Links/Products Mentioned:...

The Peptide Podcast

Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  Today, we’re tackling a question that comes up often in peptide, weight loss, and nutrition clinics: why does one person see great results with semaglutide, while another responds better to tirzepatide—or even retatrutide?
