Peptides don’t have to be scary — here’s the safe, gentle starter guide no one gives you.

If you’ve ever been curious about peptides but felt overwhelmed by protocols, dosing, or where to even begin, this episode breaks it all down in the simplest way possible. Jason and Lane walk through the peptides overview every beginner should hear before starting their journey.

You’ll learn how to approach peptides safely, what “beginner peptides” actually are, and how to avoid common mistakes that lead people to quit early. Whether you’re looking for better sleep, faster recovery, fat loss support, or help with inflammation, this episode gives you the foundation to start with confidence.

• What peptides really are and why they’re becoming so popular
• The easiest and safest beginner peptides to start with
• How to know which peptide matches your goals
• Basic dosing principles without overcomplicating anything
• How to track your response and know when to adjust
• Mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them
• When to stack peptides and when to keep things simple
• Jason’s and Lane’s real-world beginner protocols

GLP-1s like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are everywhere — but most people don’t understand what’s actually happening under the hood. In this episode, Jason and Lane break down the real conversation behind rapid weight loss, peptide safety, and how to avoid the hidden metabolic traps no one warns you about.

You’ll hear Jason explain why GLP-1s are powerful tools but not complete solutions, and Lane dives into what happens when appetite suppression leads to unintentional under-eating, hormonal shifts, and muscle wasting.

Together, they explore:

• What semaglutide and tirzepatide actually do to appetite, metabolism, and fat loss
• Why many people regain weight — and how to prevent it
• The muscle-loss problem nobody warns you about
• The essential role of protein intake, sleep, and strength training
• When to add supporting peptides for metabolism and muscle preservation
• How to know if you’re under-fueling and slowing your metabolic rate
• Why long-term success requires more than a GLP-1 shot

If you’ve ever wondered whether GLP-1 medications are enough on their own — or how to avoid the side effects while maximizing results — this episode is your roadmap.

In this episode, Jason and Lane do something they’ve never done before on the podcast.

They build a real, personalized peptide and bioregulator protocol — live and unfiltered.

After being taken out of his normal routines by dysautonomia and a reactivated Epstein-Barr virus, Lane opens up about what it’s like to live with persistent fatigue, immune dysregulation, and the emotional weight that comes with invisible illness. Despite years of experience in biohacking and health optimization, Lane found himself stuck in a cycle of hope, frustration, progress, and setbacks.

So instead of talking theory, Jason walks through how he would actually approach a case like this — step by step, calmly, and intentionally.

Together, they discuss

• Why inflammation, immune modulation, and mitochondrial support matter more than “one magic peptide”

• How to think about fatigue when the brain works but the body won’t cooperate

• The difference between thymus peptides, bioregulators, and immune signaling

• Why protocol timing, sequencing, and synergy matter more than stacking everything at once

• How to build a plan that supports the body instead of overwhelming it

You’ll hear Jason explain the reasoning behind each decision, not just what to use — including how to think about energy production, immune recovery, nervous system load, and long-term sustainability.

This episode is not about “copy this protocol.”

It’s about learning how protocols are built, how experienced practitioners reason through complex cases, and how to approach peptides with structure instead of randomness.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by peptides, stuck in trial-and-error, or unsure how to rebuild your health after burnout, illness, mold, Lyme, long COVID, or immune challenges — this conversation will click.

In this episode of Inside Omega, Jason and Lane break down a real client case study: “Jimmy,” a 71-year-old who lives an ultra-unconventional, nature-heavy lifestyle (no cell phone, hours outdoors daily, martial arts, “with the wolves” at midnight), but still hit frustrating roadblocks: brain fog, fatigue, and slow joint/cartilage healing.

The big lesson: even when someone “looks healthy on paper,” a DNA report can reveal why certain systems stay stuck (histamine + inflammation + methylation + cholesterol pathways), and how a simple lifestyle + food swap can amplify results from a well-built peptide plan.

1. Why Jimmy is the perfect reminder that health isn’t one-size-fits-all (and why “healthy trends” can backfire depending on genes).
2. The Wolverine-style recovery approach they used to hit inflammation, pain, and cartilage repair fast.
3. The DNA “aha”: histamine genes were a loaded gun, and fermented “health foods” (like natto/kombucha/yogurt) were likely fueling symptoms.
4. The gene-level story behind his fatigue + recovery issues (including discussion of FOXO3, dopamine receptor variants, and MAOA).
5. How they map a 9–12 month protocol by stacking overlaps (peptides that help multiple pathways at once).
6. Lifestyle anchors that matter more than people think: nature time, grounding, red light, collagen support, and simplifying the whole process.

Recovery / Inflammation / Cartilage (Wolverine-style):

1. BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu (described as a “Wolverine 2.0” approach)

Growth hormone support:

1. CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

Brain + calm/focus options:

1. Selank (calming) vs. Semax (focus/cognition), plus Epitalon and Cortexin (discussed as a Cerebrolysin “cousin”)

Immune support:

1. Thymosin Alpha-1 + Thymalin

Bioregulators mentioned (priority: joints/bone matrix for his lifestyle):

1. Pineal, thymus-related, cartilage, bone marrow, heart, blood vessel, liver bioregulators (exact names discussed in the episode)

Metabolic / energy / longevity adds:

1. 5-Amino-1MQ, spermidine, SS-31, KPV, Frag 17-23 (and others discussed)

1. Remove or reduce high-histamine fermented foods if your genetics suggest histamine sensitivity (natto was the big example).
2. Gluten/celiac suspicion: he dropped bread for a week and reported a major energy jump.

Welcome back to Inside Omega, where science meets soul and biohacking becomes doable. In this episode, Lane Kennedy and Jason Kidman (Omega Longevity) break down why most New Year’s resolutions crash fast, and how to build real momentum with routines, mindset, and smart biohacking strategies that actually support your body.

Then we get into one of the hottest topics in health right now: GLP-1 weight loss protocols.

Jason explains why so many people struggle with plateaus, side effects, and “dose escalation” on GLP-1s, and how a microdosing approach can help people avoid common issues like desensitization, gut shutdown, and poor long-term outcomes.

This episode is especially for you if you’ve been hearing hype and horror stories about GLP-1s and wondering:

“Where do I even start?”

You’ll leave with a clear framework, practical guidance, and the missing pieces most doctors never mention, like protein targets, muscle protection, and stacking the right support peptides.

✅ Why New Year’s resolutions fail (and what to do instead)

✅ The role of mindset, self-love, and nervous system regulation

✅ Simple daily routines that create momentum fast

✅ Why “weight loss first” can backfire (and what works better)

✅ Microdosing GLP-1s for better results and fewer side effects

✅ Tirzepatide vs Retatrutide: satiety vs metabolism benefits

✅ How people get stuck increasing doses (and how to prevent it)

✅ The importance of protein intake and strength training

✅ Stacking support tools like SS-31 and LDN (low dose naltrexone)

✅ Why some women are seeing hair issues on high-dose GLP-1 use

✅ Jason’s new low-cost DIY weight loss protocol designed for real people
