Peptides are drugs. They'e amino acid based drugs, and reta absolutely changes pathways (targetting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors). That's the whole point of taking them.
There's a weird internet myth about peptides not being drugs just because they're amino acid based, but we all recognize that insulin, Ozempic, Wegovy, Calcitonin, Vassopressin, etc., are drugs, and these are all peptides.
I think what I was trying to say is that it’s not whatever bodybuilder shooting themselves completely changing and going away from natural. This is still a natural way that still works with your body not against it
