The FDA doesn't want you to know about these compounds.

Huberman's newest guest just unveiled the truth about the peptide revolution.

The uncensored guide to peptides for superhuman biohacking: Image
1. BPC-157 is generating buzz for good reason.

It shows potential for reducing inflammation and accelerating tendon and ligament healing.

Whether injected or taken orally, it seems to pack a punch even from localized application. Image
2. Ipamorelin and tesamorelin might be your new go-to for better sleep and faster recovery.

These compounds can:

• Boost natural growth hormone production
• Potentially improve sleep quality
• Accelerate exercise recovery

Pro tip: take them before bed for maximum effect. Image
3. GLP-1 Agonists like Ozempic and other compounds are weight loss darlings, but you have to be cautious.

You risk muscle loss, so experts recommend combining them with resistance training and keeping protein intake high.

Start w/ microdoses to minimize side effects. Image
4. Recent changes in FDA regulations have shaken up the peptide landscape.

Some options through compounding pharmacies are vanishing, so it's worth researching alternatives or FDA-approved options that might offer similar benefits.

Gotta stay informed.
5. Combining peptides might supercharge your results.

For instance, pairing BPC-157 with growth hormone secretagogues could be a recovery dream team.

Always get your doctor's green light before mixing, though.
6. Peptides vs. Direct Hormone Manipulation

Understand the nuance here.

Peptides often nudge natural hormone production, potentially offering a more balanced approach with fewer side effects than direct hormone replacement. Image
7. Thymosin Alpha-1 peptide shows promise for immune modulation but has been banned for compounding.

It might help with both overactive and underactive immune systems.

Keep an eye out for potential alternatives or future availability. Image
8. PT-141: FDA-Approved for Libido Enhancement

PT-141 works for both men and women, but there's potential side effects like nausea and skin changes.

Could be a bedroom game-changer lol. Image
9. While not a peptide, methylene blue is often used alongside them for cognitive enhancement and mitochondrial support.

Start with low doses (around 10mg).

Also don't freak out if your pee turns blue-green. Image
Image
Of course, none of this is medical advice.

A knowledgeable physician is your best ally in the peptide game.

They'll:

• Align peptide choices with your health goals
• Ensure safe usage
• Steer you clear of sketchy sources

Start low and go slow, safety first, etc etc.

The most valuable European company isn't in tech, luxury, or energy.

It's a $309B Danish pharmaceutical that literally warped its nation's GDP.

One weekly injection SO powerful that celebrities can't stop abusing it.

The untold story of how Novo Nordisk conquered obesity 🧵: Image
Image
In 1989, Novo Nordisk formed as a merger between 2 small Danish insulin makers.

But in 2017, everything changed.

They received FDA approval for Ozempic - a diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar.

But during trials, something unexpected happened:
Patients were losing significant weight without trying.

Unlike countless failed diet pills, Ozempic works differently:

• No reliance on willpower
• Makes you naturally feel full
• Slows down digestion
• One simple injection lasts a full week

China spent $41B trying to copy this Dutch technology.

They failed miserably.

Now a tiny town in the Netherlands controls the:

• Future of AI
• US-China tech war
• Every advanced military system

The untold story of how ASML became the most critical company in tech 🧵: Image
Image
First, let's understand what makes ASML special:

• They make machines that make computer chips
• Closest competitor is 10+ years behind
• Complete monopoly on advanced chip tech
• Every major tech company depends on them

But here's what makes this story fascinating...
ASML started in 1984 as a joint venture between Phillips and ASM International.

For years, they were just another equipment maker.

Then something changed everything:

Researchers realized we were hitting the limits of chip manufacturing.

Moore's Law was about to hit a wall. Image

I'm from the EU.

Silicon Valley says AI innovation is impossible in Europe.

Too much red tape. Too little funding.

But these 9 European AI companies are changing the narrative: Image
🇪🇸 Magnific AI

The best AI image-upscaler on the internet.

Acquired 5 months after launch. 725K users, zero ad spend.

Acquired by Freepik because the tech was that good.

Shows European startups can move FAST when they nail product-market fit. Image
🇬🇧 ElevenLabs

$180M+ raised at a $3.3B valuation. Making AI voices that actually sound human.

Started with audiobooks, now they're the voice layer for most AI apps you use daily. 32 languages, best-in-class voice synthesis.

(Their mobile app is actually insane - try it) Image

"The dubbing in Polish was so bad, we had to build an AI company to fix it."

— 2 engineers from Poland

Now their unicorn startup is worth $1.1 BILLION, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, and changing how humanity interacts with audio.

Inside the incredible rise of ElevenLabs 🧵 Image
When childhood friends Piotr Dąbkowski and Mati Staniszewski watched American movies in Poland, they were frustrated by the terrible dubbing:

One monotone male voice talking over ALL characters.

This childhood frustration sparked a billion-dollar idea.

Fast forward to 2022... Image
Piotr (ex-Google ML engineer) and Mati (ex-Palantir strategist) launched ElevenLabs with a bold mission:

Create AI voices so realistic, so emotionally intelligent, they'd be indistinguishable from humans.

Not just another tech project:

Europe has 2 devastating energy problems:

• 100,000+ tons of dangerous nuclear waste
• Crippling dependence on US/Russian gas

A brilliant team of nuclear physicists just raised €535M to solve BOTH with revolutionary reactors.

How Newcleo could fix Europe's energy crisis 🧵 Image
Image
Founded in 2021 by CERN physicist Stefano Buono, Newcleo is tackling these twin crises with a truly revolutionary solution:

Nuclear reactors that actually RUN ON the waste from old nuclear plants.

Something you probably don't know:
Regular nuclear plants only use about 5% of their uranium fuel.

The rest becomes "waste" that must be stored in expensive underground facilities for thousands of years.

Newcleo flips this completely by using this leftover waste as its primary fuel source.

European AI is having a moment.

This tiny Stockholm startup just became the FASTEST growing in European history:

$17M ARR. In only 90 DAYS.

While Silicon Valley sleeps on European tech...

Lovable built "the last piece of software" you'll ever need.

Here's how they did it 🧵: Image
Image
First, meet the brains behind this revolution:

Anton Osika: Built award-winning algorithms at Sana Labs, co-founder Depict .ai (raised $20M)

Fabian Hedin: Inventor who literally created Stephen Hawking's computer interface

Their big idea is simple but game-changing: Image
Less than 1% of people can code.

Yet software powers EVERYTHING in our modern world.

That's insane.

Lovable fixes this by letting you create REAL apps just by describing what you want.

The origin story shows European innovation at its best:
