SHOCKING Peptide Warning: Supplements That Can DESTROY Your Energy l Anthony Castore l Ep #406

About this video

Strength coach Anthony Castore joins Niddam to connect elite training with cellular medicine. They explain the tension between AMPK and mTOR signaling, and Castore argues that stacking too many interventions at once creates signal noise that blunts adaptation, sharing a personal story of overdoing it. He describes sequencing work: first supporting mitochondrial structure and cleanup, favoring ketones early for energy and anti-inflammatory effects, and only then considering mitochondrial peptides, warning that boosting throughput in a damaged mitochondrion backfires. The title’s warning reflects his claim that some popular supplements can undermine energy when misused or combined carelessly. Castore also promotes his own supplement company and free educational community; the episode carries paid promotions.

Key takeaways

• Castore argues too many simultaneous interventions create noise that drowns out useful signals
• Training adaptation is framed as balancing growth signaling against cleanup and energy-sensing pathways
• He recommends fixing mitochondrial structure before adding compounds that increase mitochondrial throughput
• Ketones are presented as a comparatively low-risk first lever for energy and inflammation
• His stated model is education before purchase, even for his own products
