Description

Not all peptides are created equal—and the wrong source can cost you more than money.

In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke pull back the curtain on the peptide industry and show you exactly how to separate legitimate, pharmacy-grade compounds from contaminated, mislabeled, or inactive products flooding the market.

If you're serious about safety, purity, and actual results, this episode is non-negotiable.

What We Cover:

  • The non-negotiables: real medical oversight from clinicians who understand peptide protocols, medication interactions, HRT compatibility, and how to tailor dosing to your goals
  • The difference between "research-only" vials and legitimate pharmacy-grade compounds
  • Why certificates of analysis (COAs) matter and how transparent labeling protects you from confusion and dosing errors
  • Hidden fee traps to watch for: intro pricing, memberships, shipping markups, and forced in-clinic injections
  • Red flags that signal a sales script, not clinical care
  • Shipping details most people miss: peptides should arrive cold, sealed, and labeled—not warm with a token ice pack in midsummer
  • Real-world examples of good vs. bad packaging and why cold-chain stability matters
  • Why DIY mixing at home is a hard no
  • How a functional foundation pairs with peptides as targeted enhancements—and why many metabolically stuck people need more than lifestyle alone
  • How a trusted telemedicine model brings expert guidance without surprise costs or pushy upsells

For Anyone Considering Peptide Therapy: Choosing the right partner matters. This episode shows you how to pick sources that put your health first.
