Episode 358 hosts Dr Rob Weiss (GP from Melbourne, Australia)

In this episode we explore the trending but highly controversial topic of peptides. 

We discuss the background to these products, the growing demand from the general public and address the significant dangers of black-market peptides.

Our guest explains how he educated himself about this niche speciality and his thoughts about why no significant studies or evidence exists for most commonly used peptides. 

We learn about his approach to using peptides in patients with musculoskeletal injuries and his clear distinction between this approach vs people using peptides for self-prescribed 'looksmaxing' and  within the 'gym bro' culture.
