The Grey Area of Peptides
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Attorney Rick Collins, Esq., NSCA-CSCS — one of the top defense lawyers in the sports nutrition and dietary supplement space. Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are showing up everywhere right now, and Rick breaks down why most of what's sold online as "research chemicals" are actually illegal, and why the FDA's upcoming Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee hearing could reshape the entire gray market. We also get into why the GLP-1 boom normalized injectable drugs, the thin science behind BPC-157, what Rick's caseload (now 80-90% peptide cases) tells us about where this is headed, and the new military testosterone screening policy under Pete Hegseth — plus why low testosterone's health risks are very real and well documented.

Creatine has once again been dragged into supplement court, shoved into a metal folding chair beneath a flickering fluorescent bulb, and accused of crimes serious enough to make your tub quietly reconsider its legal representation. For years, the usual charges were almost quaint: Kidney destruction. Dehydration. Muscle cramps. Hair loss. The occasional claim that creatine will make your liver pack a suitcase, leave town, and start a new life under an assumed name in Witness Protection. This...
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Sam Brown, Cognitive Performance Specialist for the U.S. Air Force, to talk about what he's learned coaching pilots and aircrew who run on nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol -- and almost never turn their nervous system off. Sam shares why the toughest operators need recovery just as much as intensity, how he sneaks down-regulation into workouts disguised as hard training, and what years of coaching in Altus, Oklahoma, taught him about...
Most training programs answer this question with the cold confidence of a Soviet parking meter: Rest 3.5 minutes. Fine. But why? Why three minutes? Why not two minutes and 17 seconds? Are you actually recovered, or did the stopwatch simply finish counting while your lungs were still trying to chew through the front of your face? Why would someone program the same rest period for all 4 sets as we know fatigue accumulates, thus you will need more rest before your last set than your first set....
