The Super Human Life

The New Science of Peak Performance for Men: Peptides, Hormones & Resilience w/ Chris Duffin | Ep. 314


Listen Later

In this power-packed episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Chris Duffin — legendary strength athlete, mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected voices in human performance and biological optimization.

Chris shares his unbelievable story of survival, resilience, and reinvention, and reveals a framework that's helping high-performing men rebuild purpose, identity, and physical vitality — especially after career success turns into stagnation, burnout, or loss of drive.

Whether you're a business leader, former athlete, father, or high performer who knows you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you and equip you to break through the plateau and reclaim the edge.

About Chris Duffin

Chris "The Mad Scientist" Duffin is a world-record-setting powerlifter, bestselling author, biomechanical genius, and the founder of Kabuki Strength and multiple human-performance companies.

He has worked with:

  • Every major league baseball team

  • 90% of the NBA

  • 80% of the NFL

  • Elite military operators

  • Hollywood action performers

  • High-net-worth executives + former steroid-enhanced athletes

After surviving a traumatic upbringing and rising to become a top executive, world-class strength athlete, and multimillion-dollar founder, Chris devoted his life to helping people build resilience and optimize human biology for peak performance and longevity.

He now coaches individuals and professionals through biomechanics, peptides, mitochondrial repair, hormone optimization, and cellular-level resilience.

Key Takeaways

✔ Comfort is the new danger. Men don't just break down at rock bottom — many collapse at rock top after success leads to stagnation and meaninglessness.

✔ Growth requires resistance. Just like muscles atrophy in a cast, the mind and soul weaken without intentional challenge.

✔ The Six P's of Growth: Precipice → Plunge → Pit → Pole → Peak → Plateau You must choose the plunge before life forces you into it.

✔ Fear isn't the enemy. True strength is remaining self-aware inside stress — neither paralyzed by fear nor reckless without it.

✔ Mindset alone is not enough. If your biology is compromised — hormones, mitochondria, inflammation — you're fighting your own physiology every day.

✔ Modern men can reclaim energy and clarity. Peptides, hormone alignment, mitochondrial support, and circadian rhythm optimization can reverse brain fog, low drive, recovery issues, and emotional instability.

✔ The Superhuman life = value-aligned living. Not achievement — but building a life where your actions express who you were created to be.

Peptides & Optimization Mentioned

Chris shares a high-level overview of cutting-edge regenerative and performance-boosting tools, including:

  • CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (GH optimization)

  • TRT micro-dosing aligned with circadian rhythm

  • BPC-157, TB-500, KPV (gut & tissue repair)

  • Alcar, ketones, urolithin A (metabolic support)

  • SLUPP 3-3-2, MOTS-C, SS-31 (mitochondrial restoration)
