Anthony Castore brings over 30 years of experience as a strength coach, working with professional athletes across four sports, top executives, and everyday individuals aiming to optimize their quality of life and healthspan. His career is marked by a dedication to excellence and a passion for optimization, which has driven him to continually expand his knowledge in various domains of health and fitness. Anthony has presented three times at the prestigious SWIS conference, sharing his insights and expertise with a global audience. He has also served as an instructor for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), where he imparted his knowledge to the next generation of trainers. His mentorship under world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin and internationally recognized Dr. Eric Serrano has equipped him with the skills to design tailored training, diet, and lifestyle protocols for a diverse range of clients.

Anthony's journey in optimization has led him to pursue extensive education in hormones, nutrition, supplements, and, more recently, peptides. He has attended four Peptide World Congresses and 11 Masterminds, completed all eight courses and peptide certifications through the SSRP Institute, and actively contributed to their discussion boards. His training includes Peptide Therapy 1 and 2, as well as Weight Loss Mastery, IV Peptides, and Peptides for Injury Repair through A4M. As a consultant, Anthony collaborates with top researchers and physicians worldwide, ensuring he remains at the forefront of health and optimization. He maintains a rigorous schedule, completing 7-10 courses per year to stay ahead in the industry. Despite being one of the industry's best-kept secrets, Anthony's humble demeanor and relentless passion for learning continue to set him apart as a leader in the field.

Anthony brings us into the world of cellular energy and peptides in this episode. We check out Anthony's inspiring journey to becoming a specialist in strength and conditioning, enriched by mentorship from legends like Dr. Eric Serrano. We talk about the science of NAD supplementation and peptide therapy, revealing their crucial roles in maintaining energy levels and optimizing metabolism. Anthony shares insights on innovative peptides like DNF-10 and BAM-15, discussing their potential in weight management and treating metabolic diseases.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• How elite athletes optimize energy levels and health with Anthony's expertise.

• Why peptides are crucial for enhancing athletic performance.

• Why NAD supplementation is vital for maintaining optimal energy levels.

• How NAD can be administered through IV, intranasal, and subcutaneous methods.

• What enzymes like CD38 and NNMT do in NAD metabolism.
