Hello, friends, and welcome back to The Rabbit Hole.

I'm your host, Danny, and today we have the pleasure of having Trina Danley on the podcast.

She is the co-founder and CEO of Deck 7 Research, a peptide research company, and she is here to explain to us why people are turning to peptides, what they are, how they're affecting people, and what you should look for when considering peptides

for your life. Peptides are a huge topic right now in the world, and there's a huge gray market

for them. So what does that mean? And what should we be concerned about? Hi, Trina. Thank you so

much for joining me on the rabbit hole today. You're welcome. Thank you for having me.

So can we kind of start with what are peptides for people that don't know what peptides are?

Can you kind of start there? Sure. Pepites are literally short chains of amino acids,

the same building blocks that make up proteins in the body.

So we already have them. So why do we need them? Yes, we definitely already have them.

We need them to, sometimes the signaling in our body doesn't quite work well anymore. So when we introduce those same peptides that

trigger those signals, signaling pathways in your body, they help to create healing and correct

hormones, correct metabolism, immune functions. They just work on all those different levels.

So what led you to want to do the research into peptides? What led you to peptides?

Oh my goodness. That is a, that is kind of a long story, but I'll let me do the best I can with that.

Okay.

Kind of starts way back when I was young.

I started having problems with my hormones.

Of course, I didn't know this.

But at 14, I started having problems with my hormones.

Wow.

I never had consistent ovulation.
