In this episode of The Ultimate Asset, host Brock Reichert is joined by Anthony Castore, known in the industry as "The Peptide King." Anthony is the first non-physician fellow of the SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research and Performance) Institute and creator of the CASTORE Method.

Together, they demystify the complex world of peptides, moving beyond the buzzwords to explain how these signaling molecules actually work within the body. From navigating the "flu season" with immune-modulating protocols to recovering from injuries for elite athletic performance, this episode covers the foundational pillars of cellular medicine.

Anthony also opens up about a personal medical emergency caused by improper peptide stacking, offering a cautionary tale on why foundational health (Redox) must come before biohacking. Whether you are an athlete training for a race like Leadville 100 or simply looking to improve your health span, this conversation provides actionable insights into metabolic optimization.

Key Topics & Takeaways

• Peptides 101: Understanding peptides as "signaling molecules" (CEOs giving directions to interns) rather than magic bullets
• The CASTORE Method: A breakdown of Anthony’s coaching pyramid: Coaching, Advanced Scientific Targeted Optimization, Recovery, and Exercise.
• The Importance of Redox: Why you must optimize your body's "soil" (oxidative stress modulation) before planting the "seeds" (peptides).
• Cautionary Tales: Anthony shares his personal horror story of hospitalization due to peptide overloading and signal noise.
• Immune System Optimization:
  • Why Thymosin Alpha-1 is the "OG" of immune modulation.
  • Protocols for flu season, including the surprising benefits of low-dose nicotine and ketone monoesters.
• Injury Recovery & Joint Health: The differences between TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4, and the use of BPC-157 and Pentosan Polysulfate for cartilage regeneration.
• Mitochondrial Health: Deep dive into SS-31 for repairing the "scaffolding" of energy production.

Featured Peptides & Supplements Mentioned
