10/12/2026

Peptides are everywhere right now - from muscle growth and fat loss to anti-ageing, recovery and claims of “biohacking” your body. But is it safe and how much of it is actually backed by science? In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Scafi aka Elite Strength Coach to break down what peptides actually are, popular ones being used in the fitness and wellness world, what they can realistically do, and where the hype starts to outweigh the evidence. We’ll also tackle safety, side effects, legality, sourcing and whether peptides have a legitimate place in health and performance.
