In this episode of The Champion Living Podcast, Doug sits down with Eric Lore of Lore Fitness to break down the truth behind peptides, GLP-1 medications, recovery protocols, blood work, gut health, and real performance optimization.

The fitness industry is flooded with misinformation around compounds like BPC-157, TB500, semaglutide, and GLP-based therapies. Eric explains what these compounds actually do, where they may help, the risks involved, and why foundational health habits still matter most.

The conversation also dives into inflammation, injury recovery, nervous system function, nutrition, blood markers, and the future of human performance optimization.

Whether you're an athlete, outdoorsman, or someone trying to improve your health, this episode delivers a balanced conversation around one of the fastest-growing topics in fitness and recovery.
