Is This Right for Me? Peptides: BPC-157, Growth Hormones and the Gray Market Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

In March 2026, the largest gray-market peptide vendor in the U.S. went dark overnight. No refunds, and a wave of uncertainty about what these products actually are, how they’re sourced, and whether they’re worth the risk.
In this episode, Jeff works through what peptides actually are, where the science holds up and where it doesn't, and what the gray-market collapse means for anyone paying attention to this space.
Topics covered:

BPC-157, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, and TB-500: what the research actually shows
Why are oral peptide capsules mostly expensive amino acids
The sourcing landscape: FDA-approved, compounding pharmacies, and gray market
Who peptide therapy may be right for, and who should wait
Free, evidence-backed alternatives for GH optimization and injury recovery

This episode is for anyone who's been curious about peptide injections and wants the honest answer, not the Joe Rogan version.

Is This Right for Me? Everything You Need to Know About GLP-1s Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Every week, there's a new peptide, protocol, or wellness supplement your group chat won't stop talking about. The information is everywhere. The clarity is not.
"Is This Right for Me?" is a new Commune Podcast series built for exactly that moment. Each episode takes one treatment, therapy, or supplement that keeps flooding your feed and does the one thing the internet rarely does: slows down, looks at the actual evidence, and helps you figure out if it makes sense for you specifically.
The first episode tackles GLP-1s. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound. Jeff breaks down how they work, what the clinical trials actually showed, and what the wellness internet keeps leaving out.
This episode covers:

What GLP-1s are and how they work in the body
The real clinical trial data on semaglutide and tirzepatide
What happens to your weight when you stop taking them
Muscle loss, gallstones, thyroid risk, and side effects worth knowing
Who these drugs make sense for and who they don't
The compounding pharmacy crackdown and what it means for you
What "natural GLP-1s" actually are and aren't
The lifestyle habits that work on the same systems without a prescription

Long-Term Love, Hard Training, and the Gap Between Knowing and Doing with Gabby Reece Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

What does it actually take to build a great life, not just talk about one? In this episode, Jeff speaks with Gabby Reece: pro volleyball legend, fitness coach, and co-founder of Laird Superfood. Together, they explore the unglamorous work behind a life well-lived.
They get into:

Sustaining a long-term relationship and business partnership without losing yourself
Gabby's training philosophy and why hard physical work builds resilience far beyond the gym
The knowing-doing gap: why information alone doesn't change behavior, and what actually does
Midlife, imposter syndrome, and gratitude as a daily disposition, not just a feeling

Gabby is one of those rare people with almost no distance between what she believes and what she does. This one is for anyone trying to close the gap between the life they know they want and the one they're actually living.
