What are you working on?

Body The last 25 lbs, or the aftermath. The shots everyone's on and the stack that keeps the muscle. Skin Retinol since 2019, same face. Time for what goes under it. Face Tired even after ten hours. Fixable, and not just with filler. Hair The part keeps widening. Stop it now, argue with it later. Hormones Energy, libido, sleep. Yes, there's something for that too.

Peptides 101

Peptides are short amino-acid chains that signal your body to do something specific — burn fat, build collagen, release growth hormone, or want sex again. Here are the ones that matter, what the evidence says, and where to start.

GLP-1 agonists A

Tirzepatide, semaglutide, retatrutide Appetite suppression, weight loss, body recomp

GHK-Cu C

Copper peptide Collagen synthesis, skin density, wound healing

BPC-157 C

Body protection compound Recovery, gut healing, tendon/joint repair

PT-141 B

Bremelanotide Sexual desire, FDA-approved for HSDD

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin B

GH secretagogue stack Growth hormone release, lean mass, recovery

The GLP-1 on-ramp

Everyone's asking about the shots. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) and semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) are GLP-1 receptor agonists that suppress appetite at the receptor level. They work — the data is overwhelming. The question is which one, from where, and what to pair it with.

Start with the comparison guide. If you already know which one, take the quiz and we'll build the rest of the stack around it.
