What do skincare addicts, gym rats, and stressed-out wellness junkies all have in common? They’ve all heard the word peptides … and none of them can explain what it actually means. Understanding Peptides is the hilarious, no-B.S., beginner-friendly guide to the tiny molecules silently running your body, your emotions, and your wrinkle cream ads. Written by a licensed pharmacist with a sharp tongue and zero patience for overhyped science-speak, this book breaks down: What peptides actually are (spoiler: not magic, but still pretty cool) - Why they’re in your face serum, your friend’s injection routine, and every bro-science podcast - Which ones might help with muscle growth, fat loss, better skin, deeper sleep , and mood swings that make your dog nervous - What’s real, what’s hype, and what should stay in the biohacker subreddit Packed with punchy metaphors, zero jargon, and just enough science to make you sound smart at brunch, this is the ultimate guide for people who want real results— without reading a textbook . If you: Have no idea what peptides are but keep hearing about them - Want better skin, recovery, or hormone balance without a PhD - Are peptide-curious but supplement-skeptical - Or just want to laugh your way through a surprisingly useful science lesson …then this is your book.
