In this episode, host Chris Duffin sits down with guest Anthony Castor for a deep dive into the world of recovery, healing, and performance optimization—specifically through the lens of peptides and beyond. Building on their recent conversation, Chris reveals his unique framework for developing cutting-edge recovery protocols, which combines four essential pillars: cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic approaches.

Together, they unpack how these modalities—ranging from peptide therapies and blood flow restriction to innovative equipment design and red light therapy—can be strategically layered for maximum results without redundancy. Listen in as Chris and Anthony share game-changing insights, remarkable case studies, and a behind-the-scenes look at the thought process that underpins some of today’s most advanced healing methods.

 

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

• Four “Unlocks” to Human Physiology: Chris’s model addresses cellular, neurological, biomechanical, and hydrodynamic (fluid/nutrient movement) factors—stacking recovery and training modalities for maximum results.

• Synergy > Redundancy: Instead of relying on a single method (like just peptides or just BFR), Chris stresses building protocols that combine different tools—shockwave, red light therapy, blood flow restriction, etc.—to trigger adaptation through multiple pathways for accelerated and more sustainable healing.

• Framework Over Fads: The most effective coaches and protocols don’t just copy what works for others. They adapt and personalize, choosing the right tools based on goals, willingness, and lifestyle—always learning from diverse experts and continuously building the right system for the individual.
