  • Why Real-World Data Belongs in the Peptide Debate

    Some moments change how you see medicine forever. Once you see them, you can’t unsee them.

    Dr. Kris Wusterhausen was doing everything he’d been taught. He was running a county clinic, he was burned out, his weight had climbed to 199 pounds, and his A1C had reached 6.2. Fixing his own health changed how he practiced medicine. In his words, it took him from a widely accepted family doctor to “the kooky doctor in town.” Years later, some of the doctors who called him kooky became his patients.

    Today he’s a board-certified family physician and founder of The Resurge Clinic in Weatherford, Texas. He trains physicians in hormone and peptide therapy and serves on the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee.

    Leonard and Dr. Kris go inside the committee meeting where BPC-157 and other peptides were reviewed. They cover what the committee was actually asked to decide, and why real-world clinical data deserves a seat at the table. Dr. Kris also shares the financial reality of leaving traditional medicine, his keep-it-simple approach to hormones and peptides, and why he brings his entire staff to medical conferences.

    In this episode:

    -The burnout and health crisis that pushed him out of traditional practice
    -The financial reality of transitioning to a new practice model
    -From “kooky doctor” to accepted: how the field has shifted
    -Inside the FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee’s peptide review
    -Why the vote was about compounding safety, not FDA approval
    -Why great clinicians rely on a handful of peptides, not twenty
    -Nutrition, movement, and the 80/20 approach to longevity
    -Why every person in a practice should understand patient care

  • Why "Show Me the Data" Should Be the Beginning

    Some moments change how you see medicine forever. Once you see them, you can't unsee them.

    In this first episode Leonard Pastrana, Pharm D shares the "unseen moments" that reshaped his view of healthcare. They include a hospital committee that chose a treatment based on cost instead of what was best for the patient, and his wife's years of recurring diverticulitis flares that specialist after specialist couldn't explain. It took a physician willing to look beyond the guidelines to finally find what everyone else had missed.

     

    After working in retail and hospital pharmacy, and then spending years creating education alongside leading physicians and scientists in clinical longevity medicine, he's had thousands of private conversations with doctors who practice in the gap between what's proven, what they see in patients every day, and what we're still figuring out.

     

    This show brings those conversations into the open. You'll hear from physicians, scientists, and founders who treat "show me the data" as the start of the conversation, not the end.

     

    In this episode:

    - What an "unseen moment" is, and why it happens so often in healthcare

    - Longevity medicine defined: improving health span and lifespan together

    - Why earlier diagnostics are creating new uncertainty in medicine

    - The personal story behind the show
