Bill Maher hits Huberman with a simple question: “What are peptides?” The answer unfolds into something much bigger. Peptides are short chains of amino acids our bodies produce naturally — insulin is one, GLP-1 is another. Now we’re synthesizing advanced versions like retatrutide, a triple agonist (GLP-1 + GIP...

BPC-157 causing cancer? FDA shutting down peptide trials? “No human RCTs have ever been done on peptides?” In this video, Dr. Alex Tatem — board-certified urologist and fellowship-trained men’s health specialist — reacts to viral claims made on Shawn Ryan Show about BPC-157, TB-500, peptides, angiogenesis, cancer risk, and peptide safety. We break down: • Whether BPC-157 actually causes cancer • The truth about angiogenesis and tumor growth • FDA regulation of peptides and compounding • Why the “no randomized controlled trials” claim is completely false • Human clinical trial data on peptides • The real history of BPC-157 clinical studies • Huberman’s correction of viral peptide misinformation • Why peptide fearmongering could push patients toward unsafe gray-market sourcing This is not bro-science or influencer hype. This is a deep dive into the actual published literature, peptide pharmacology, FDA policy, and performance medicine. Topics covered include: BPC-157, TB-500, peptides, angiogenesis, cancer biology, GLP-1 drugs, Ozempic, tirzepatide, semaglutide, TRT, peptide therapy, biohacking, longevity, anti-aging medicine, compounding pharmacies, peptide legality, Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. , Shawn Ryan Show, FDA peptide regulation, growth hormone history, and performance medicine. If you’ve ever wondered whether BPC-157 is dangerous, whether peptides are legal, or whether the internet is fearmongering about peptide therapy — this video is for you.

🚨 “EVERYONE WILL BE ON THIS” — TOP PLASTIC SURGEON CALLS RETATRUTIDE THE GREATEST DRUG EVER CREATED A viral interview featuring Dr. Terry Dubrow is exploding after he made a claim that’s catching serious attention: Retatrutide, a new drug from Eli Lilly and Company, could be the most powerful peptide we’ve ever seen. And according to him, it’s already spreading before approval. • Completed all 3 clinical trial phases (not FDA approved yet) • Expected approval timeline: potentially within months • Triple-hormone mechanism (fat loss + muscle preservation + appetite control) • Being called the next evolution of GLP-1 drugs He claims compounding pharmacies are already making versions of it. Meaning people are taking it right now, without regulation. • “Everyone’s on it” - especially in gym circles • No oversight on sourcing, purity, or dosing • Unknown additives, contamination risks, or long-term effects • No clarity on where it’s being manufactured And yet the hype is exploding: • Being labeled a potential trillion-dollar drug • Said to outperform current weight-loss injections • Designed to burn fat while preserving muscle, something older drugs struggled with But it doesn’t stop at weight loss. According to Dr. Dubrow, drugs in this category are being explored or used for: • Alzheimer’s • Heart disease (already approved in some cases) • Arthritis • Addiction (including alcohol dependence) • Schizophrenia • Early-stage cancer research (tumor growth slowdown) The logic? It all comes back to blood sugar control, inflammation, and metabolic health. Systems tied to nearly every major disease. Which leads to the bigger claim: That in the near future… people won’t just take these drugs to lose weight. They’ll take them to live longer. But here’s the part no one can answer yet: If millions are already using unregulated versions… what exactly are they putting into their bodies? Is this the biggest medical breakthrough of the decade... or a mass rollout happening before anyone’s ready? 📹: YouTube/truehustlepodcast

There's a question that keeps coming up: is retatrutide better than tirzepatide? In my experience, this is the wrong question. It's like asking whether steak or chicken is better. Steak is arguably more nutrient-dense, but some people do better on chicken, and there's no reason you wouldn't vary your protein sources. It's the same with GLPs. It's not either/or, you have to experiment. > Tirzepatide is a dual agonist. It hits GLP-1 and GIP receptors. > Retatrutide is a triple agonist. It hits GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. That glucagon piece is the key difference. It changes how your body uses fuel in a way tirzepatide simply doesn't. In clinical trials, retatrutide produced 24% average weight loss in 48 weeks. Tirzepatide produced 21% in 72 weeks. Reta produced better results in almost half the time. The glucagon receptor drives thermogenesis and fat oxidation, which you don't get with a dual agonist. But retatrutide comes with a tradeoff. It raises resting heart rate by 5-10 BPM, driven by the glucagon receptor, and happens at every dose level. Reta peaks around week 24 and reverses when you stop. This doesn't happen with tirzepatide. And that's exactly why you shouldn't be on either of these indefinitely. The problem is that most people are scared to cycle off because they've heard the horror stories about weight rebound. As a result, they stay on way too long. This isn't medical advice, but I believe the right approach is to be 12-16 weeks on, 8-10 weeks off. You cycle, monitor, and adjust. If you don't know how to properly come off a GLP, you have no business being on one. On top of that, if you're running the experiment but not tracking it, you're wasting it. - Get labs done: fasting insulin, blood glucose, A1C, etc. - Wear a tracker: monitor heart rate and HRV These compounds impact metabolic markers that matter way more than bodyweight. If you have weight to lose and you're interested in GLPs, run at least one cycle of each. See how your body responds to retatrutide. Then see how it responds to tirzepatide. Compare the data, and that's how you'll find what works. Because in performance healthcare, data wins, not the math. Comment "FATLOSS" below, and I'll send you my 70-page Peptide Bible. P.S. None of this is medical advice nor a recommendation.

RETATRUTIDE is NOT JUST for WEIGHT LOSS… …and the fact that that’s what everyone is obsessing over tells me we’re still missing the point. 🙃 Because what I’m looking at? It’s not just the scale. It’s what’s happening underneath it. We’re talking 24% body weight reduction in trials… sure. BUT ALSO: 47% drop in inflammatory markers in 12 weeks. 2.1% drop in HbA1c. 42% reduction in visceral fat (the dangerous kind hugging your organs). 🫁 And then it gets uncomfortable… 31% lower cardiovascular mortality. 28% fewer heart attacks. 22% fewer strokes. Like… pause there. Because if this was just about weight loss… those numbers wouldn’t exist. This is metabolism. This is inflammation. This is mitochondrial signaling. 🧬 And THIS is where I start side-eyeing the narrative. Because you’ve been told this is about “calories” and “willpower.” Meanwhile your body is sitting there like— “Hey… I’m inflamed. I’m insulin resistant. I’m storing for a reason.” 👀 And instead of asking why… We’ve been handed drugs and told to shrink. But here’s the part nobody’s talking about… What happens when you stop? With semaglutide (Ozempic)… about 72% of people regain the weight. Tirzepatide? Around 60%. Retatrutide? ONLY 5–10%. That’s not a small difference. That’s a completely different conversation. Because now we’re NOT just talking about weight suppression… We’re talking about whether the terrain (esp hormones and body talk) actually changed. And if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but your body keeps pulling you back… this matters more than you think. Because your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s responding to something deeper. If you want me to break down what this actually means… and how peptides are shifting the entire conversation— Comment PEPTIDES and I’ll send you the full breakdown. 💡 #peptides #biohacking #womenshealth #hormones #healthandwellbeing

BPC-157 and TB-500 are two of the most talked-about peptides in fitness, bodybuilding, and biohacking. Together they’re often called the “Wolverine Stack” — a peptide combination rumored to dramatically accelerate healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and injuries. But do BPC-157 and TB-500 actually work in humans, or is the Wolverine Stack just another example of internet bro-science? In this evidence-based deep dive, Dr. Alex Tatem (board-certified urologist and men’s health specialist) breaks down the real science behind BPC-157 and TB-500 — including their biochemical mechanisms, animal research, potential healing effects, safety concerns, and why pharmaceutical companies have never brought these peptides through full FDA clinical trials. We explore the nitric oxide signaling, angiogenesis, VEGF pathways, actin regulation, and tissue repair biology behind these compounds and explain why rodent studies look promising — but why human clinical evidence is still extremely limited. You’ll also learn about: • What BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) actually is • TB-500 vs Thymosin Beta-4 explained • The origin of the Wolverine Stack peptide protocol • Peptides for tendon healing and ligament injuries • BPC-157 for gut healing and musculoskeletal repair • TB-500 and actin-mediated tissue regeneration • Why most peptide research comes from one Croatian research group • The patent law problem preventing pharmaceutical development • Real risks of grey-market peptide contamination • Why WADA bans BPC-157 and TB-500 in competitive athletes • Theoretical cancer risks related to angiogenesis • What the current scientific literature actually shows If you've ever searched: “Does BPC-157 work?” “What is TB-500?” “Peptides for healing injuries” “BPC-157 tendon repair” “Wolverine Stack peptides explained” — this video breaks down the science. The peptides may be promising. But promise and proof are not the same thing. Drop a comment below: Have you ever used BPC-157, TB-500, or other peptides?

Alex Karnal (Alex Karnal) is the most talented bio and healthcare investor I've ever met. He's spent 20 years in the industry and says 2025 was the single most exciting year he's seen. The start of a once-in-a-lifetime, trillion-dollar revolution in public health. He explains how few people realize we already have the medicines to prevent our deadliest diseases. The problem is that almost no one takes them. There's a population of people born with a mutation that means their bodies don't produce a protein called PCSK9. Their lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease is 88% lower than yours. Pharma turned that genetic advantage into a drug. It's been approved for years, but the number of people taking it is still vanishingly small. Partly because high cholesterol is a silent killer. You feel nothing, right up until you have a heart attack. And partly because the health system makes it punishingly hard to stay on a preventive drug like a PCSK9 inhibitor. In other words, the medicine works, but the system around it doesn't. That's what's starting to change, and in this episode, Alex explains why. We discuss the "health stack" he believes can add a decade to most lives, why oral GLP-1s are breaking every adoption record in pharma, peptides and citizen pharmacology, and what AI is doing to drug discovery. I wish I had an "Alex" for every interesting topic. We've been having versions of this conversation for over five years, and every single one is as clear and as useful as this one. Enjoy!

In our recent broadcast Nathan Goodyear, MD, MD(H) said something that really resonated with me. He said that somewhere in the process of drug development, we've lost the humanity of the patient and the potential of what it means to be a physician to serve the patient. He's right. And I've seen it firsthand for a long time now. Technology and clinical innovation are moving faster than ever, but the regulatory process hasn't kept pace. Patients have access to more information than at any point in history, yet they can't access treatments that could help them because the approval pipeline is still functioning decades behind the science. At Williams Cancer Institute , we've lived this challenge. Cancer is complex. It often requires multiple drugs working together. But the FDA has traditionally required single-drug approval, which means a drug that may not show strong results on its own, but could be transformative in combination, never gets its chance. We've been working to change that. We now have a four-drug combination in clinical trials, and the FDA is beginning to open up to combination approaches. But it's been a long road. Dr. Goodyear put it well: we need to innovate on the regulatory side to match the innovation happening on the clinical side. How do we get treatments to patients faster while maintaining safety? Because the cost of a life can't be measured in dollars, timelines, or quarterly earnings. It's measured in relationships, in time with family, in the chance to keep living.

He sold his soul to Big Pharma and they fired him anyways. 🤦‍♂️ Vinay Prasad Vinay Prasad MD MPH is one of the many reasons MAHA is in deep trouble...and he really is a cautionary tale. He was wrong about Ivermectin for COVID-19 and he was even more wrong about Ivermectin, Mebendazole and Fenbendazole in Cancer. But he was "Big Pharma" and "TV" friendly, so MAHA backed his hiring into the FDA, where he took on several important roles. This is what happens when you replace a real movement, with actors. The strategy of trying to meet Big Pharma halfway on corruption and fraud, by hiring people who are only "mildly corrupted" and still love Big Pharma, is a poor one, because it's very transparent. Vinay's arguments about repurposed drugs are so painfully idiotic, that I can't fathom how he can hold on to his medical license as an Oncologist, let alone be shoved in front of millions of Americans at the FDA. "It's not plausible anti-parasitics work for cancer" except Johns Hopkins was granted a PATENT on Mebendazole for use in Glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive cancers and ran two Clinical Trials including in CHILDREN. If it's "not plausible" and "we looked in the 1970s and didn't see anything", why would one of America's largest Cancer Centers spend 5 years getting a PATENT on it as well as two Clinical Trials AND put children with Brain Cancer at risk? Is Vinay really trying to tell us Johns Hopkins applied for grant funding and committed its resources to study "fringe" things that are "not plausible"? Meanwhile: - Fenbendazole Cancer Support Group on Facebook grew to over 100,000 before it was taken down - In late 2025, Florida Governor Ron Desantis committed over $60 million for Ivermectin in Cancer research via the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund - In early 2026, National Cancer Institute committed to studying Ivermectin in Cancer. Not bad for something that's "not plausible". And for all that, Vinay Prasad got kicked out of the FDA anyways. Vinay is not a stupid man, but he made a choice. "I have to bash Ivermectin" to position himself as a "moderate" and "Big Pharma friendly", and by doing so, he tore up his Hippocratic Oath (to further his career). Let's be honest, many doctors did the same during COVID-19 with the jabs. But they are pariahs on the fringe of society today. They are publicly ridiculed, mocked and no one trusts them anymore. Your average doctor has lower favorability rating than chlamydia and it's well earned. Many of these MAHA actors deserve the same fate. They sold out too. They just did it with a different flavor. The flavor of "Health Freedom".

While Gates operatives were being escorted out of one building, Bill Gates himself was being secretly escorted into the White House. No press. No visitor logs. No photos. A closed-door, three-hour dinner with President Trump. The close friend of Jeffrey Epstein. The vaccine pusher on unwitting Africans. Given unprecedented, private access. And then, on the very same day, the FDA performs a regulatory sleight-of-hand that should shock every American. They quietly REVOKE the emergency use authorization for mRNA COVID shots... only to immediately REAUTHORIZE them for infants as young as six months and the "broader at-risk population." Pull it. Put it back. All in one afternoon. The timing is not a coincidence; it’s a confession. This move coincides with Secretary Kennedy’s promise to end COVID mandates, keep vaccines available, and—critically—to DEMAND placebo-controlled trials. But read the fine print. The FDA’s “approval” for these groups is not based on new clinical trials. Pfizer admits it themselves: it’s based on the “cumulative body of evidence.” They are using data from trials on children to justify approval for seniors. They are pulling pages from different books, sticking them together, and calling it science. This is the ultimate bait-and-switch. They are ending the "emergency" for the general population only to grant a permanent, non-trial-based authorization for the most vulnerable. A shadowy meeting with one of the world’s most powerful unelected health influencers, followed immediately by a contradictory and scientifically dubious FDA ruling. You are watching the machine operate in real time. The doors are closed for a reason. They know you are watching.
