Hey everyone, this is a quick bonus episode of The Peptide Effect.

I wanted to personally invite you to check out my brand new YouTube channel called Aging Out Loud.

If you’ve been listening to me talk peptides, protocols, optimization, and all the science behind feeling better… Aging Out Loud is where you get the real me behind the mic.

It’s my actual voice. My actual face. My actual life.

No scripts read by AI. No polished filter. Just me — navigating 49, hormones, muscle loss, mindset shifts, identity changes, relationships, confidence, and what it really feels like to age as a woman who refuses to be quiet about it.

If you’ve ever wondered who I am outside of peptide deep dives… this is it.

Search Aging Out Loud on YouTube and come hang out with me there.

Thank you for supporting The Peptide Effect, and I’ll see you on camera.

This Is 49: I’m Not Aging Quietly

In this episode, we break down the science behind real, sustainable energy and how specific peptides may support it at the cellular level. Instead of chasing caffeine highs and quick fixes, we explore mitochondrial function, ATP production, hormonal balance, sleep quality, and metabolic health.

You’ll learn how compounds like MOTS c, growth hormone secretagogues, Semax, and other supportive peptides may influence energy by targeting the root systems that drive performance and resilience. We also discuss the role of NAD pathways, blood sugar stability, immune balance, and why foundational habits still matter more than any protocol.

If you’re dealing with midlife fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, or just want to understand how cellular optimization connects to daily vitality, this episode delivers a clear and grounded overview.

This is about building capacity, not chasing stimulation.

If you’ve been listening to The Peptide Effect, you already know I’m passionate about science, optimization, and pushing the edges of what’s possible. Now I’m expanding the conversation. In this short episode, I introduce my new podcast, The Psychedelic Effect — where we explore psychedelics, neuroscience, mental health, healing, and human potential. If you’re curious about what’s next in medicine and consciousness, this is your invitation to go deeper.

In this episode, we dive deep into AHK-Cu, the lesser-known but highly promising copper peptide that’s gaining attention for skin rejuvenation, collagen support, hair health, and tissue repair. We break down what AHK-Cu is, how it compares to GHK-Cu, why copper peptides matter for anti-aging, and the different ways people use it, including topical and subcutaneous research use. If you’re building a peptide stack for regeneration, recovery, and healthier skin from the inside out, this is a must-listen episode.

In this episode, we dive deep into ghrelin, the powerful “hunger hormone” that does way more than just make you want to eat. We break down what ghrelin is, where it’s produced, how it impacts appetite and cravings, and why it skyrockets during dieting, fasting, stress, and lack of sleep. You’ll also learn how ghrelin connects to growth hormone release, metabolism, fat loss resistance, and why your body fights to regain weight after dieting. If you’re into peptides, body recomposition, GLP-1s, longevity, or simply want to understand why hunger feels so intense sometimes, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we break down L-Carnitine for athletes and why it’s one of the most talked-about performance supplements in the fitness world. You’ll learn what L-Carnitine actually does inside the body, how it supports fat metabolism and mitochondrial energy production, and why some athletes swear by it for endurance, recovery, and cutting phases.

We also cover the different forms like L-Carnitine Tartrate, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and GPLC, how to time it for training, realistic dosing ranges, common side effects, and what results you should actually expect. If you’re a lifter, runner, fighter, or anyone training hard and trying to optimize performance, this episode will help you decide if L-Carnitine belongs in your stack.

Multiple sclerosis is one of the most complex autoimmune conditions, impacting the nervous system, energy levels, mobility, cognition, and overall quality of life. In this episode, we break down which peptides may help support MS by targeting inflammation, immune modulation, neuroprotection, mitochondrial function, fatigue, and tissue repair. We cover popular options like Thymosin Alpha-1, BPC-157, KPV, Semax, Selank, MOTS-c, SS-31, Epithalon, NAD+ support, and more, while also discussing realistic expectations, safety considerations, and why peptides should be viewed as supportive tools, not cures.

In this episode, we break down one of the most common immune peptide questions in the longevity world: Vilon vs Thymulin. Which one is better, and how do you know which one fits your goals? We’ll cover what each peptide is, how they support the thymus, how they influence immune balance, and why one may be better for anti-aging while the other may be better for immune recovery, chronic inflammation, and post-viral issues like long COVID. If you’re building a peptide stack and trying to decide where Vilon or Thymulin belongs, this episode will help you make a smarter, more strategic choice.

In this episode of The Peptide Effect Podcast, we’re diving into Vilon, one of the most underrated peptides in the longevity and immune support world. If you’ve been hearing whispers about Russian bioregulator peptides and thymus regeneration, this is the episode you need.

We break down what Vilon is, how it works, why it’s linked to thymus health and immune aging, and why so many biohackers stack it with peptides like Epithalon and Thymosin Alpha-1. We also cover common dosing protocols, cycling schedules, what to realistically expect, and who should be cautious before using immune-modulating peptides.

If your goals include stronger immunity, reduced inflammation, better recovery, and long-term anti-aging support, Vilon might be the missing piece in your protocol.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and dinner reservations, it’s about feeling confident, energized, connected, and in the mood. In this episode, we break down the most talked-about peptides and research compounds people use to support libido, arousal, mood, circulation, performance, sleep, recovery, and that overall “glow-up” feeling.

We’ll cover popular options like PT-141, Kisspeptin, Semax, Selank, GHK-Cu, growth hormone secretagogues, and mitochondrial support peptides, plus how stress, hormones, inflammation, and poor sleep can quietly destroy desire.

If you want a science-based, fun, and practical Valentine’s Day wellness guide that goes beyond chocolate and candles, this episode is for you.
