Peptides are amino acid chains naturally found in the body, delivered by injection, spray, or pill with minimal side effects when dosed correctly. The expert predicts they'll revolutionize medicine over the next three to five years, with no overdoses reported among millions of users.

I think most of my listeners have probably heard the word peptide but couldn't explain what it is with their life depended on it. I'm one of those people. So, can you give us just the simplest possible explanation of what peptides are and why you believe they matter more than almost anything else in health right now?
Hal Elrod: Very simple. All they are is literally chains of amino acids. And the best part of them, Hal, is that because they're naturally occurring in the human body, when you inject them or intranasally use them or rub them on your skin transdermally or maybe take a capsule or swallow them, the newest forms are like strips you put on your tongue and they go to the roof of your mouth and they're absorbed through the mucosa. They don't really cause side effects. And again, it's because they're naturally occurring and found. So I would honestly tell you that over the next 3 to 5 years, they are going to completely and wholly revolutionize— if you want to call it medicine, I like to call it quantum healing, but that's what they're going to do. I mean, the genie's out of the bottle. There's millions, if not hundreds of millions of people around the world already using peptides. As a person using them for so long, I've had hundreds of thousands of people in my audience use them. I've never seen anybody do anything really bad to themselves. I've never seen an OD. I will say that obviously all things can cause side effects if dosed inappropriately. As Tim Ferriss said, the difference between a pill and a poison is always the dosage. So I like to say that, but I really do see them revolutionizing healing over the next 3 to 5 years.
