S3E9: Yang Gang Takeover (ft. Dr. Connie Yang)

We welcome back Dr. Jake Deutsch, founder and director of Oakwood Precision Medicine and our go-to longevity expert, to break down what peptides actually are, how they work, and where science ends, and speculation begins.Peptides and regenerative medicine are reshaping how we think about health, aging, aesthetics, and longevity, but as this space rapidly evolves, it is also filled with hype, confusion, and real risks when used without proper understanding or oversight.Together, we discuss: • What peptides are and how they are regulated • The role of GLP-1 peptides in weight loss, metabolic health, and longevity • The difference between strategic use and misuse, including concerns around muscle loss, bone health, and so-called “Ozempic face” • The most talked-about peptides in longevity and aesthetics and how they are administered • The risks of stacking and cycling and what proper monitoring should really look like • Why the conversation is shifting from lifespan alone to vitality, quality of life, and optimized aging • How beauty from the inside out is changing aesthetic medicine, from lifestyle and supplements to advanced regenerative toolsThis is a grounded, science-forward conversation about using powerful tools responsibly, safely, and with intention for long-term health.🎧 Listen now and rethink what pro-aging really means.For more from me on pro-aging, check out my book, The Pro-Aging Playbook.
