She makes it clear every time that this isn't something she's advising you to do, yet she knows exactly what goes on among people in this space - so think of it as a public service announcement, more or less. Throughout the videos she sprinkles in plenty of I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THIS disclaimer language. Anyway, I appreciate that she breaks down the physiology of what's going on.
I see your point. To me, though, a physician putting this kind of content out there seems risky when it comes to how they're viewed professionally. Then again, with so many folks on these compounds these days, it might actually bring more traffic through their doors.SoCalGirl said:

From what I can tell, the stance that Froese, Tatem, and Stillson share is that the FDA has failed to treat peptides fairly. Sudden bans that come without any reasoning, and so on — perhaps driven more by pressure from BP lobbyists. Having gone through what I've read and watched, I'm inclined to share that view.chmuse said:

Either way, the information is useful. My remark was really just about her deciding to make a youtube video on the subject.
I didn't expect much, but the material on Youtube turned out to be solid. These days I avoid that site when I want real medical information, since so much junk is on there. That said, a couple of things bother me: she holds up a vial while on camera, and there are video edits showing a person purchasing what appears to be the medication over the internet.
Her office is a 30min drive from where I live, and it seems like her practice is slammed. I wanted her to be my PCP, but she had closed her panel to new patients. That's why I ended up on a waitlist 3 months back. Having a primary care doctor who actually gets peptides would be a plus, in my view. As for the PCP I have now, peptides are a mystery to them beyond Ozempic and Zepbound.chmuse said:

Funny enough, among the few YouTubers I watch, she's one where bumping playback to 1.25x isn't necessary for me—I'm actually the reverse and get irritated when videos feature slow, deliberate speech. The pace at which she speaks lines up perfectly with how my mind works
