| 0:00.0 | Now if you need a new organ, you just print it. |
| 0:01.7 | Sturgically attach it, then you have the peptides deal from that recovery. |
| 0:04.2 | It sounds creepy where we can kind of manufacture humidity, which might be for the worse. |
| 0:09.0 | It's going to save a lot of lives. |
| 0:09.8 | It's time to sit down, keep it real, and cut the bullshit. Welcome to Table Talk. All right, guys. We're back on the other episode of Table Talk today. Our guest is Alex Kekyll. Is that right? Yep. Kekyll. Whatever's going to call me. I don't care. Well, I always screw it up anyhow, so it doesn't really matter. It's become the thing on the podcast, so it is what it is. You're the founder of the prep coach, and you work with a diversity |
| 0:45.7 | of clients ranging from professional athletes to see competitors, power lifters, patient. |
| 0:53.5 | I don't want to say patience. I don't want to say patient. Disfunctional populations. The dysfunctional populations as well. And the topic that we're really going to get into today is going to be more peptide-related, neutropics and stuff like that. And that's where your expertise is at. It's where people that we've had on the podcast are referencing you. Oh, that's cool. So, yeah. So after a while, you're kind of like, well, maybe we just need to get the guy that everybody is referencing to see where it's all kind of coming from. And Tom is a geek when it comes to this stuff. So he's going to be assisting on this because most of this just goes over my |
| 1:27.8 | head but i'm really good at coming in and saying like what did you just say yep to be able to bring |
| 1:33.0 | it back down to the normal per normal people i'm just the person that just takes what people tell |
| 1:38.0 | me to take sometimes that works that would be the majority of people though right yep right and the. Right. And the problem with that, as you both can attest to, is who you're listening to. Right? Because you're like, yeah, just tell me what to take. And then you're listening to a moron. Then you have issues that can rein its head right then or many years later, as we'll talk about as we can end to this thing so what do |
| 2:02.3 | you want to jump off with well i guess the first point i've got down here which i think was as interesting |
| 2:07.2 | well i've heard you reference to quite a few times when you're talking about peptides we're going to |
| 2:12.4 | put things in there like glutathirin and carantine even though they're not right um you've kind of referred |
| 2:17.3 | to them as |
| 2:17.7 | like medicine 3.0, right? So like to you, you see this, these categories of products as like |
| 2:25.8 | a revolution for health, like a new wave, right? So what does that represent to you? When you're |
| 2:31.1 | saying like, these are going to be medicine 3.0, what makes you make that statement and how do you think that hopefully they're going to change the demographic of |
| 2:38.4 | longevity and health care for everyone i say it's medicine 3.0 because to me medicine 3.0 represents |
| 2:44.8 | the future of never having problems again and that sounds kind of ridiculous to say out loud |
| 2:49.5 | but after you've seen so many things |
| 2:52.7 | that were technically impossible happen because of one supplement, one peptide, one small molecule, |
| 2:57.6 | one therapy, you start to go, okay, there's all these tools. We're creating new and new tools |
