Can peptides help you heal, recover, and even extend your healthspan? Gregory Gopman is joined by peptide expert Dennis Jackson, founder of IAM Wellness, explores the science behind peptides, longevity, precision medicine, and health optimization. Dennis shares his journey into peptide therapy, explains how peptides work, and discusses why personalized diagnostics are essential before starting any protocol. He also opens up about his life-threatening health crisis after COVID—including autoimmune disease and heart attacks—and the peptide protocols that became part of his recovery.In this episode:* What peptides are and how they work* The role of peptide therapy in healing, recovery, and longevity* Why diagnostics and precision medicine matter* Common peptide myths, risks, and beginner mistakes* The future of peptides, biohacking, and personalized healthTimestamps00:00 Intro00:47 Dennis’ peptide journey08:53 What peptides actually do11:23 Surviving a devastating health crisis15:03 The peptide protocol behind his recovery19:27 Risks and misconceptions21:00 Why we’re entering the “Golden Age” of peptides28:58 Where beginners should start36:04 The future of precision medicine41:56 What’s next for peptides

Peptides are exploding — and the business, legal, and regulatory landscape is changing fast.In this episode of Pep Talk, Gregory sits down with Dustin Robinson, known as “the peptide lawyer,” to break down the booming peptide industry, from GLP-1 telehealth companies and 503A compounding pharmacies to research-use-only peptide brands and the gray areas shaping the market.Dustin explains why demand is outpacing regulation, how young founders are building multi-million-dollar peptide businesses, what the FDA is watching, and why the future may shift more toward medical and telehealth pathways. They also discuss BPC-157, TB-500, semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, payment processing, affiliate marketing risks, Big Pharma, RFK Jr., and what peptide entrepreneurs need to understand before scaling too quickly.A must-listen for anyone interested in peptides, longevity, GLP-1s, health optimization, biotech, telehealth, emerging regulated industries, or the future of decentralized healthcare.Timestamps: 00:00 — The Peptide Gold Rush05:00 — Telehealth, 503A Pharmacies & GLP-1s10:00 — Big Pharma, Patents & Innovation15:00 — Category Two, Category One & FDA Process20:00 — Why Natural Peptides Are Hard to Patent25:00 — Young Founders Making Millions30:00 — COAs, Purity & China Manufacturing35:00 — Peptides, Longevity & Decentralized Health40:00 — Dustin’s Personal Peptide Experience45:00 — RUO Compliance & Lines Not to Cross50:00 — Will RUO Peptides Go Away?55:00 — Affiliate Marketing & Telehealth Risks1:00:00 — How Telehealth Companies Are Structured1:05:00 — Payment Processing Challenges1:06:52 — How to Contact Dustin Robinson
