Joe Rogan and Brigham Buhler discuss health, peptides in the spotlight

[sfkid]

A new podcast episode has just dropped featuring Brigham Buhler, who is the CEO of ways2well.

A few of the noteworthy subjects covered:

peptides, along with the impact their approval will have on the industry.

How Big Pharma is intervening when it comes to peptides

Longevity

Testosterone Therapy, plus misconceptions surrounding prostate cancer.

as well as plenty of other compelling subjects related to preventative health and peptides in particular.

The information shared was quite compelling. Sure, peptides carry safety concerns that need work, but once regulators step in, my guess is prices will climb and access will shrink for a lot of folks. Buying single vials from online vendors already strains many budgets, and going the compounded route would likely cost even more. On the flip side, it might ease the liability worries that keep doctors from prescribing—plenty of functional medicine practitioners steer clear for that very reason.

I found it interesting. The first half got my attention, and I may wrap up the rest tomorrow. One thing that seemed strange: the peptide expert didn’t give the > 500 lb jelly roll a weight loss peptide?? Instead, he devised some kind of protocol that led to a 250lb loss. They also appeared to frame glp-1s negatively, almost as if it isn’t a peptide that has aided more people than every other peptide put together. That felt pretty weird to me.

Still interesting, but I’m not sure I trust this guy.

If GLPs were prescribed, the opportunity for lots of extra sales would disappear. After all, he runs a business that has to bring in .

This went right onto my playlist – appreciate it! Brigham Buhler has a way of getting past the clutter. I’m especially interested in how peptides might be regulated and what official approval would really change for the community.

 

[GortBong]

Appreciate the info! Peptides actually came onto my radar from an earlier episode, and that's what pushed me to dig deeper.

 

[foffspam111]

This interview was excellent — if you're involved with peptides at all, I'd strongly suggest checking out this one as well as his earlier appearances. He offers plenty of solid conversation and perspective regarding where the wellness industry is headed, coming from a person who is genuinely in the thick of it.

 

[ambot88]

That name, Bringham Buhler, is really something.

Nice discovery. Through Rogan's interviews, we get to hear from folks we'd never come across otherwise. Solid information!

Exactly my point. He goes on and on about Big Pharma monopolizing the money, yet he’s pulling the same move with his wellness clinics. Over and over he labels it a black market and pretends peptides can only be obtained via a wellness clinic, even though he’s fully aware his own clinic sources the stuff from ….. China.

My functional MD is still convinced it comes down to garbage in, garbage out — eat clean and exercise, and GLP's won't be necessary. For a lot of people that holds true, but not everyone, especially with weight. The genetic testing segment stood out to me. I've used both Tirz and Reta. With TIrz, nothing happened — my insulin resistance went up and I didn't drop a single pound. Reta brought my cholesterol down, lowered IR, and cut my A1c by .1. I have shed a few pounds, but it's slow going. I'd really like to understand what's happening. I'm already at 10mg, and only at 10 did I see any weight come off or notice any appetite suppression.

There's nothing mystical about GLPs — they don't melt weight away on their own. What they do is blunt hunger, and that ought to push you into a calorie shortfall, which then forces your body to burn stored fat, and that is what produces weight loss.

If the scale isn't budging, a calorie shortfall may be missing. Perhaps adding more movement (extra steps) would help.

If hunger isn't being blunted at all, something else could be going on (a poor-quality reta batch? / not being a hyper responder to GLPs?). It's also possible that a larger dose is needed, plus some time for it to build up in your system...

How long have you been using Reta?

Yeah, I’ve wondered whether genetics plays a role in this. Personally, I know a person who didn’t experience strong appetite suppression until they reached 15 mg of actual Zepbound.

To me, the entire calories in versus calories out debate is ridiculous. You’ll hear people claim that as long as you’re in a deficit, you could live on twinkies alone and still shed pounds. Sure, theoretically that holds up, but we don’t live in theory—and nobody has ever actually lost weight by eating twinkies.

I swear Jelly Roll has to be using Reta. There's no way I'm buying anything else.

Where I got this; straight out of thin air

Obviously he was on glp1s. If that weren't the case, there'd be no need to keep denying it.

 

[myopicmystic]

I could have sworn I came across something saying he used a GLP1 or some other weight-loss drug, which makes Rogan's repeated claims that he managed it medication-free pretty confusing to me

What about giving sema a shot? It works really well for cutting appetite. I'm on 1 mg and I struggle to eat much at all.

Brigham has appeared on the JRE podcast 5 times! Give them a listen!

In my view, certain individuals have lucky metabolisms—they never put on pounds—and as a result, they see these glp1's as nothing more than a fad

My habit of observing what others ate began when I was 8 years old. Sure, there are those who never put on weight no matter what they consume. My sister-in-law insists her slim figure comes from avoiding desserts. But then she'll get a pizza, have 2 slices alongside a glass of coke, then grab chips and dip and another glass of coke. Ask her to estimate the calories or the grams of fat, carbs, protein and sugar in that meal, and she can't tell you—she's never needed to watch her weight.
