Peptides

Peptides are the most contested corner of health education right now: compounds like BPC-157, TB-500, and the GLP-1 drugs sit at the center of an argument between clinicians who teach about them, regulators who restrict them, and a gray market that sells them anyway. This shelf is the teacher-led side of that argument. Every episode here is a video by a clinician or educator, with Self Growth Videos’ own written summary and key takeaways on its own page. The claims in each episode belong to the speaker — we attribute them, we do not endorse them, and nothing on this site is medical advice. You will find no dosing, no protocols, and no sourcing here — only what the teachers teach, organized so you can study it.

The peptide teachers

• Nathalie Niddam — host of the Longevity Podcast and the deepest peptide shelf in this library: 127 peptide episodes, covering bioregulators, longevity science, and the peptide conversations she hosts with clinicians and researchers.
• Dr. William Seeds — physician and founder of the SSRP Institute, where he trains and certifies clinicians in peptide therapy; 76 peptide episodes in this library.
• Dr. Elizabeth Yurth — clinician with the Boulder Longevity Institute and one of the most prominent physician voices teaching peptide therapy; 55 peptide episodes.
• Dr. Kyle Gillett — physician behind Gillett Health, teaching hormones, metabolic health, and peptide therapy; 55 peptide episodes.
• Jennifer Woodward — FDN’s former Director of Education; her 25 episodes bring GLP-1 and peptide teaching to midlife women, and she built the practitioner path below.
• Derek (More Plates More Dates) — the performance and hormone-analysis side of the conversation; 21 peptide episodes in this library.
• Dr. Daniel Stickler — epigenetics and performance-medicine clinician (Apeiron Academy); a small peptide shelf in this library.

Peptide teaching also runs through four of the library’s broader health catalogs: Gary Brecka carries 17 peptide episodes inside his 501-episode Ultimate Human library (his claims are presented as his — he is a commercial health figure, not a physician), Dr. Gabrielle Lyon brings a physician’s muscle-centric critique to 6 peptide episodes in her library, Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has devoted full Huberman Lab episodes to peptide science inside his video library, and Dr. Adeel Khan teaches regenerative medicine — stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and longevity science — with peptide teaching woven through his library (he founded Eterna Health, which sells the treatments he teaches about, so his claims are presented the way his profile presents them: attributed, as education, never as SGV’s conclusions).

Go deeper by compound

If you came here for one compound, go straight to it. Each compound hub rounds up what every teacher in this library says about that compound — in their own words and framing, attributed to them — with the state of the evidence and the regulatory picture attached. Still no dosing, no protocols, no sourcing: these are guides to the conversation, not instructions.

• GLP-1 medications — Ozempic, semaglutide, tirzepatide, and the GLP-1 class: what the teachers say about strength, muscle loss, low-dosing, alternatives, and the research frontier.
• BPC-157 — the “body protection compound”: the healing and recovery claims, what the evidence actually is, and where the compound stands with regulators.
• TB-500 & thymosin beta-4 — the naming confusion untangled, the tissue-repair claims, and the compound’s regulatory status.
• GHK-Cu (copper peptide) — what the teachers claim for skin, collagen, and repair, how strong the evidence is, and its unusual regulatory position.

The complete collection — every episode filed under peptides, newest teachers first — lives in the Peptides category listing: every peptide page in the library, each episode summarized on its own page.

The practitioner path

For the health coaches, clinicians, and midlife-health practitioners who want to practice in this field rather than just study it, start with Jennifer Woodward. Her Become an FDN Practitioner guide walks through the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition certification she helped build as FDN’s Director of Education — what the course covers, what it costs, how it compares to a generic health-coaching certificate, and who it is actually for.

The access fight

The education on this shelf exists inside a live regulatory fight over whether these compounds can be compounded, prescribed, or sold at all. Our sister site RFK Team Report chronicles the peptide access fight — the FDA compounding categories, the advisory-panel votes, the clinician testimony (Dr. Yurth appears there as an access witness; Dr. Lyon as the credentialed critic), and the gray-market fraud cases — dated and sourced as the file moves.
