Peptides & Longevity: How Much Optimisation Is Too Much? | Andrew Rothschild [part2]

Loading player...
[PART TWO] Peptides. IV therapy. Optimisation protocols.
Are these just trends - or are they the future of wellness?

In Part 2 of this conversation with Andrew Rothschild, we go deeper into the tools and treatments that are reshaping how we think about performance and longevity.

We explore:
- What peptides actually do - and why they’re gaining traction
- The difference between optimisation and overdoing it
- How to approach advanced wellness without becoming obsessive
- The importance of individualisation in any protocol
- Why there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to health

This episode is not about blindly following trends - it’s about understanding what’s available, and making informed decisions.

If you’ve been curious about the world of biohacking - this will give you clarity. The goal is not to do everything. It’s to do what works for you.
