30 Minutes: Peptides, GLP-1s and the DIY Health Revolution ft. Dr. Neil Paulvin

"The health paradigm has totally changed. It's never going back to where you're just going to go see your doctor in the physical office and get treated. That's never going to happen again."

Dr. Neil Paulvin, a board-certified physician with over 20 years of experience in integrative medicine joins 30 Minutes to cut through the BS when it comes to peptides and DIY health. Dr. Paulvin has been prescribing peptides since 2017 and breaks down the six major categories, from anti-inflammatory and muscle building to the vanity stacks covering weight loss, hair, and skin. He explains why BPC-157, the most hyped peptide on social media, still lacks proper human studies because no one can patent it or justify the $5-10 million needed for clinical trials, and why marketing names like "Wolverine Stack" and "Glow" are made-up terms from unregulated sellers, not real medical protocols.

The conversation covers where the industry is headed: big pharma is expected to control 75-80% of the peptide market within 3-5 years by patenting slightly modified versions of existing peptides. Dr. Paulvin also walks through retatrutide (GLP-3), which he calls the "home run of all home runs" but warns comes with significantly stronger side effects. He makes the case that peptides do work at the right dosing for the right patient, but stresses that Manhattan bodegas selling them at the front counter is a sign the industry has "jumped the shark," and that none of this replaces the fundamentals of sleep, exercise, diet, and stress management.
