The "What is Money?" Show How Big Pharma Hijacked Your Health w/ Miguel & Carlos
18 snips
Feb 27, 2026 A deep dive into metabolic health, from low testosterone and chronic inflammation to reversing metabolic damage. They unpack pharmaceutical incentives and how industry shapes care. Conversations cover peptides, electrolytes, NAD and mitochondrial support. Practical nutrition, circadian practices and testing limitations are also explored.

Episode notes
Peptides Are Signals Not Miracle Cures
- Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological signalers instructing cells what to do.
- Miguel and Carlos stress peptides only work if the body has raw materials like minerals, magnesium, and nitric oxide to execute those signals.
Fix Fundamentals Before Peptides
- Do prioritize basic nutrition, sleep, sunlight, grounding, and movement before starting peptides.
- Carlos and Miguel recommend fixing inflammation, micronutrient gaps, and circadian light exposure to maximize peptide ROI.
Genes Plus Exposome Explain Bioindividuality
- Bioindividuality arises from both genetic SNVs and the exposome (environmental damage) altering gene expression over time.
- Miguel emphasizes sequencing plus AI-driven sandboxing to predict individual responses to drugs and peptides.
