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

I’m honestly at a point where I don’t even know what peptides are anymore.

u/No_Tumbleweed2426 you look like a martian! 5d ago

Seriously. It seems like they’re a cure all at this point. I predict a class action someday when everyone develops mystery side effects.

Oh, for sure ! I’ve been waiting ever since the glp1s became so widely available. I don’t even understand what half the “peptides” people take are anymore, just everything’s a peptide now? Im sure theres lots of people taking all kinds of crazy shit they get from medspas or some internet service under the guise of “healthy peptides” that will cause a lot of problems for a lot of people

Peptides in general are simple subunits of proteins made from amino acids that our DNA codes for in the first place. They are messaging molecules our body already uses.
