Peptides, hormone testing, adaptogens, and senolytics are often marketed as shortcuts for fatigue and “energy optimization.” In this episode, Dr. Hillary Lin reviews where the science is promising, where the evidence is still early, and why these interventions require careful clinical context.

Do not buy peptides or hormones from gray-market sources, and do not treat this episode as a protocol.
