#250 Jay Campbell — The Truth About Peptides, GLP-1s & Hormone Optimization for Longevity

In this episode of the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast, Claudia sits down with Jay Campbell to unpack the truth about peptides, GLP-1s, hormone optimization, metabolic health, and the future of longevity medicine.

Jay explains why peptides are tools, not magic bullets, why hormone optimization should come before advanced peptide protocols, and how many people are misunderstanding GLP-1s entirely. They also explore microdosing, growth hormone peptides, mitochondrial support, NAD, nootropic peptides, metabolic dysfunction, and the serious risks of fake or contaminated peptide products.

If you want to better understand what actually matters before using peptides or GLP-1s, and how to think about fat loss, performance, and long-term optimization more intelligently, this episode is packed with practical insight.
