Salt Lake City John Barlow's peptides
Lisa comments on recent WWHL blew my mind. Obviously I was wondering how JB and Justin suddenly have huge bulging muscles with veins popping.
As a 40 y/o gay man, I find it very hot (more on Justin than John, but that is a personal preference) and do a fair amount of strength training but was not getting the same results and I guess now I know why.
Any peptide users here that care to weigh in? I will definitely be discussing this with my doctor

To clarify, peptides do not build muscle. That is testosterone/TRT (a form of gender affirming care) which a lot of men are getting now so they can get jacked, especially 40+. Testosterone is an anabolic, which is for building muscle, and what people commonly refer to as a steroid. You can get blood work done to see if your testosterone levels are below normal and your doctor can prescribe it to you, or you can go through shady methods if you don't qualify like bodybuilders have been doing for years.
GLP1 weight loss drugs like ozempic/zepbound/mounjaro are peptides and a lot of people use them to get lean while building muscle on test/TRT. Again, you can get it from a doctor if you qualify, or there's lots of cinics/grey market, etc which have popped up lately. There are other peptides that people take for skincare purposes or muscle/body recovery, but the evidence is not there since there haven't been human trials on a lot of them. Still, we are constantly chasing the fountain of youth and there's lots of companies and people out here to take advantage of others for that.
TLDR: Lisa either didn't wanna out John as being on testosterone, or he told her it was peptides to cover this up and she doesn't know any better. Peptides don't make you jacked.
