About this episode
In this episode we explore the trending but highly controversial topic of peptides with Dr Rob Weiss, a GP from Melbourne.
We discuss the background to these products, the growing demand from the general public and the significant dangers of black-market peptides. Rob explains how he educated himself in this niche area, and why no significant studies or evidence exist for most commonly used peptides.
We also learn about his approach to using peptides in patients with musculoskeletal injuries, and his clear distinction between that and self-prescribed use for 'looksmaxing' and within gym culture.
