Summary
Peptides, GLP-1s, anti-aging, recovery… it feels like everywhere you turn, there’s a new “miracle” solution being pushed. But how much of it is actually real—and how much are we just… collectively deciding to believe?
Following Kelly’s conversation with peptide expert, Jay Campbell, Kelly and Chip take a step back from the online noise to talk through what they’re seeing in the peptide and wellness space. They also discuss their own personal experiences, and where things start to feel a little questionable. The conversation turns into a very honest look at how quickly we all jump on trends—especially when the internet makes it sound convincing enough and how to navigate what is right for you and your body.
