The Peptide PhDs Podcast
Hosted by MAKE Wellness · EN
The Peptide PhDs — the show where two science geeks with PhDs turn the complex world of peptides into stories you’ll enjoy. Dr. Mark Bartlett sees peptides as the secret language immune cells use to gossip, negotiate, and sometimes throw shade. Dr. Alan Jones looks at muscle as an endocrine powerhouse, flexing out a vocabulary of peptides that strengthen body and brain.
Each week we break down new discoveries from the lab, chat with guest experts, and unleash our cringy dad jokes. We hope it's a fun way to understand how these tiny molecules have a huge impact on health and wellness.

GLP-1RA Therapy - Part 1
Feb 600:55:23Tap to summarizeIn this opening episode of our two-part series, Dr. Mark Bartlett and Dr. Alan Jones introduce the fundamental science behind GLP-1 receptor agonists, moving beyond the headlines to explore how these therapies actually function within the body. We weigh the significant metabolic benefits against potential drawbacks, providing a balanced look at the pros and cons of synthetic therapy. A central focus is the concept of "half-life"—understanding how long these molecules remain active in your system and why that timing is critical for managing both results and the biological "rebound" effect.We dive into the efficacy of naturally occurring peptides and how supporting your body’s endogenous production can, for many, be a more sustainable and effective route than clinical alternatives."The information discussed on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Jan 2000:58:53Tap to summarizeIn the series finale of the Four Pillars, we’re diving into mental and emotional well-being: the glue that holds your health together (or the reason it falls apart when you see an unwashed dish).From the "overnight therapy" of REM sleep to why your muscles are actually secret mood-boosting organs, we break down how your biology and your brain are in a constant, high-stakes group chat. Plus, we explore the heartbreaking news that ultra-processed snacks might be the reason you’re feeling "meh," even if you hit your step goal.
Transcribe →The Pillars of Health - #3:Sleep
Jan 901:01:02Tap to summarizeWelcome to the third leg of our Four Pillars of Health journey, where we’re finally giving sleep the spotlight it deserves. We will dive deep into the world of circadian rhythms, REM dreams, and why your body is actually busier than you think while you’re "resting." We explore everything from the "brain-washing" benefits of glymphatic cleansing to the critical growth hormone pulses that keep you functioning at your peak.We also take a sophisticated look at how bioactive precision peptides are changing the game by targeting stress hormones and promoting deep, restorative rest—all without the "zombie-like" grogginess or dulled performance often found with traditional sleep aids. Because as it turns out, the real magic happens after the lights go out.
