How peptides conquered the internet
Hello!
A new one for you.
Two decades ago, bodybuilders on niche internet forums started injecting peptides. Now they're in the secret mini-fridges of some teenage boys. How did they get there? We track their crooked path from Silicon Valley to jaw-smashing influencers.

His peptides piece (”Life on Peptides Feels Amazing”)
Thank you for listening! I like to ask questions each week in these, because I am curious about what’s on your minds. I don’t want to ask people about their medical choices, so I’ll ask this instead: please share the strangest (or most gray market) thing you’ve bought online. Please don’t confess to crimes online. That’s standard advice at this newsletter, but also a specific ask this week.
Thank you for listening! We are re-airing one of our favorite episodes tomorrow, so I’ll be on your feed but younger and more vivaciously.
