You're not replacing what your body already does naturally. You're reminding it how to do it better. And the crazy thing is, these peptides have like minimal to zero side effects. They stay in your system for like a day. You're not shutting down any natural production. You're not creating dependency. You're just simply optimizing what's already there. Yo, welcome back to the fitness podcast, guys. Jordan here. And what if I told you that there was a class of compounds that can help you not just build muscle, burn fat, recover faster, sleep deeper, and essentially slow aging, all with literally minimal to no side effects without putting any foreign hormones in your body. And you probably, if I were to tell you this, you'd be like, yeah, he's full of shit, he's selling snake oil. or you think I'm just one of these like trendy biohacker bros who's chasing the next

shiny object. But what I want to share in this three-part podcast series is all about peptides. Okay, I'm going to go back to the history, the backstory, how to use them, what are my favorite peptides and how you can apply this in your coaching business to really stay ahead of the curve and differentiate yourself, but more importantly, help your clients get, I mean, significantly better results, which is what

we're all in this for, right? And so to take you back, what if I told you that Soviet scientists

in Russia have actually been researching these compounds for over 80 years? Okay, their military,

we're using these tools, these peptides, during the Cold War to help soldiers

recover from radiation exposure, trauma, injuries. And as we speak, these same compounds are all now

being used by elite athletes, high performers, entrepreneurs, and just regular people like me

and you to optimize everything, right? From fat loss to cognitive function to longevity.

And that's ultimately what peptides are and what we're going to cover today. So by the end of this episode, I'm going to share with you like what peptides actually are in plain English without like science jargon, where they came from and how this is not just a new fad. This is literally, in my opinion, going to change the world. And most importantly, what you need to do to stay ahead of this curve, both both an application for you to be able to use these to be a better human and to be able to use these for your clients. Okay, because the truth is, if you're not doing foundational work yourself and with your clients, peptides are not going to be this like magic pill. They're close, but I want to make sure that you're not just creating expensive piss for you and your clients. All right. So listen, if you are coach, a trainer, health coach, fitness professional,

we're someone who's serious just about optimizing your health and performance, just make sure to hit subscribe to this episode or this podcast now because this is going to be part one of a three part series. So part two, I'm going to be dropping next week or after this one where I'm going to walk you through my five favorite peptides that I'm a huge fan of. Okay, I've been experimenting now for over two years and that I

would personally recommend. So don't miss that, subscribe now. Also, for those watching on YouTube,

you're going to see some visuals here where I'm going to actually provide in the show notes a

Google Doc that is like my thesis on peptides. I mean, we're

literally going to cover history of peptides. My top five favorite peptides, what to do before

you become a pincushion. Like in this Google Doc, it's literally going to have A to Z everything

you need. Non-peptides, things that are actually just short chain amino acids that are like bioregulators that also are incredible tools. Example, I'm gonna give you an example peptide protocol that if I were just trying to like perform better cognitively, get leaner, be healthier, better mitochondrial function. It's kind of like a beginner stack that I would recommend. Then I'm gonna have in this Google Doc how to use peptides, like how to actually reconstitute, how to measure dose best practices. And I'm going to give you like where to source them. I'm actually going to give you my my sources with discount codes. And I'm also going to show you like how to like who am I learning from? Who are some other educators and other supplements that you should be pairing with peptides. All right, what are peptides? All right, in simple terms, let's start with the basics. Here's the simplest way to think about it. A peptide is a short chain of amino acids. Okay, so I'm going to show a visual here that for those watching on YouTube, you can see this chain of aminos. Okay, think of it like a small fragment of a protein. See, a protein molecule has a full bonded molecular structure that it creates

a full amino acid, right? So that basically means it's going to trigger just one specific activity

or a multitude of specific activities. Protein, for example, does a lot of stuff. But with a

peptide, it's made up these long chain aminos. Okay, so instead of like, okay, protein, I'm sorry, is made up of long

chain aminos, whereas peptides are like shorter versions and these chains are manipulated or

sequenced in a specific way to send signals to your body to perform certain actions. Okay.

And different peptide sequences can tell your body to do different things, all right? And it's,
