Peptides, supplements, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, NAD, IV drips, and “longevity stacks” are everywhere. But how much do people really know about what they are putting into their bodies? Dr. Jared Ament and Dr. Jon Kanevsky join PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to explain the potential benefits of peptides, why so many Americans are experimenting with them, and why the gray-market peptide industry can be risky. They break down FDA approval, third-party testing, China-based sourcing, growth hormone peptides, Ozempic, retatrutide, creatine, NAD, and the role of AI in helping patients research their own health. They also discuss why good medicine requires both curiosity and humility.
