Peptides & Hormones
About this video
Gillett interviews pharmacist and naturopath Jim LaValle about peptides, hormones and metabolic health. LaValle presents peptides as tools within a whole-body, weakest-link approach to aging and performance, and discusses building organized, practitioner-led programs inside large fitness and lifestyle organizations as mainstream companies move into GLP-1 and hormone services. They debate the convergence of large pharmaceutical firms and what Gillett calls big functional medicine, including labeling truthfulness, underpowered formulations and profit bias on all sides. The conversation also covers oral testosterone delivery and why real-world lab and prostate effects, in their experience, can differ from absorption claims.
Key takeaways
- Treat peptides as tools in a systems view of metabolism, not isolated fixes
- LaValle argues practitioner organization matters as fitness companies enter clinical services
- Check formulations for meaningful amounts and truthful labeling, whoever sells them
- Profit incentives exist in both pharmaceutical and functional-medicine markets
- Real-world monitoring can reveal effects that absorption marketing understates
