E.203 PEPTIDE PLAYBOOK – PART 3 Hormones, Testosterone & the Future of Longevity Medicine
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
In this episode of the Peptide Playbook Series, Dr. Din sits down with Dr. Frankel to discuss the science behind testosterone, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, and metabolic health. As we age, many people experience fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and metabolic changes. According to Dr. Frankel, three major factors often drive these changes: hormone deficiency, insulin resistance, and energy deficiency in the body. In this conversation, we break down how testosterone interacts with estrogen, why self-treating with supplements like DHEA can be misleading, and how therapies such as GLP-1 peptides, NAD, and growth hormone peptides may help restore metabolic balance. We also discuss the differences between menopause, andropause, and the often overlooked "somatopause" — the age-related decline in growth hormone. Topics include: • Testosterone therapy for men and women • Hormone replacement and metabolic health • Cholesterol and hormone production • GLP-1 peptides and insulin sensitivity • Peptides used in longevity medicine • The connection between hormones and aging Part of the Peptide Playbook Series, exploring the science behind peptides, metabolism, and modern longevity medicine. 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.
