Trevor Kruder welcomes Jay Campbell back for an unfiltered conversation about where the peptide and health optimization space is actually heading.

They get into what they are personally exploring, what they believe is overhyped, and which emerging compounds have their attention. From GLP 1s, metabolic health, immune support, recovery, SS 31, and small molecules to the growing connection between AI, health data, and personalized care, they cover a lot of ground.

They also challenge the idea that one protocol can work for everyone. Genetics, lifestyle, goals, response, and individual health data all matter.

What really separates serious peptide science from hype?

In Episode 17, Trevor Kruder sits down with biochemical researcher Mike Farber and peptide industry attorney Kaveh Newmen for an in-depth conversation about Klotho, FLGR242, peptide development, manufacturing, testing, stability, and the future of peptide research. Mike also shares his background in biochemical research and discusses the work that led him to study Klotho.

They break down the differences between peptides and larger proteins, explain why three-dimensional protein structure matters, and discuss why confirming an amino acid sequence alone does not prove that a complex protein will function as intended. The conversation also explores receptor binding, manufacturing complexity, and the additional testing required for larger proteins.

In this episode, Trevor Kruder sits down with his friend Wynn, and they get into the reality of GLP-1s like retatrutide and semaglutide (and why the "12 pounds in a week" stories are misleading), the importance of establishing a baseline and getting regular bloodwork before starting anything, and why optimization means prioritizing sleep, nutrition, and training (not just injections).

Trevor breaks down how his manufacturing and telehealth operations work, why he puts products through extensive evaluation and quality testing before bringing them to market; and explores emerging research on kidney regeneration, Dihexa and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the future of oral peptide delivery.
