SHOCKING Peptide Warning: Supplements That Can DESTROY Your Energy l Anthony Castore l Ep #406

🔹 About This Episode:

In this episode, I’m joined by Anthony Castore, a rare blend of elite strength coach and cellular medicine thinker, to unpack what really happens when biohacking goes too far. We explore the delicate balance between performance and longevity, diving deep into how cellular pathways like AMPK and mTOR regulate muscle growth, recovery, metabolism, and mitochondrial health—and why more interventions don’t always mean better results.

Anthony shares powerful lessons from his own experience stacking peptides, ketone esters, and training stressors too aggressively, revealing how mitochondrial overload can quietly undermine progress. We discuss mitochondrial fission and fusion, recovery capacity, individualized training strategies, and how to build a resilient foundation before layering peptides and advanced protocols. If you care about long-term performance, energy, and longevity, this episode will change how you approach biohacking.
