QSX26: Hormones, Peptides & Things That Made Me Go Hmmm…

I went to Denver for the Quicksilver Scientific QSX Conference expecting to geek out on hormones, peptides, detox and longevity. And boy, did I come home with some rabbit holes to explore!

In this episode, I'm taking you along for the ride—from touring Quicksilver's facility with Dr. Christopher Shade (yes, I was trying to play it cool) to sharing some conference survival lessons and the science that really got my wheels turning.

We are covering why hormone signaling is about more than numbers on a lab report, how DHEA supports your cortisol cycle, and what you need to know about needle-free peptide therapy for women. Plus, we explore mitochondria, cellular energy, and why adaptability is your ultimate longevity tool.

Grab your coffee, buckle up, and come nerd out with me. I've got approximately 47 new rabbit holes to share!
