I am not a licensed healthcare professional. Everything I share is general educational information and personal opinion, not medical advice. Always talk to a licensed professional before making any decision about your health.
Where I actually look
None of these are trying to sell you anything. When I want to check something, this is where I go — and where I would send you.
-
Drug approvals, safety communications, warning letters, and recalls. Searching a company name here is genuinely revealing.
-
Official labeling for medications approved in the United States.
-
The standard database of published biomedical research. Free abstracts. Intimidating at first, readable with practice.
-
What human trials exist, their status, and results. If a substance has no trials here, that itself is an answer.
-
Plain-language health information from the National Library of Medicine. The friendliest starting point.
-
Your pharmacistFree to talk to, expert in interactions, and the most underused professional in American healthcare.

My commercial relationships
Some links I share may be affiliate links. That means if you use one, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I may also receive free products, or be paid to mention something — and when that happens, I will say so plainly and in the same breath, not buried in a footnote.
What this never changes: what I tell you, what I leave out, or how carefully I say it. A commission is not a recommendation. It is not an endorsement of safety or effectiveness, and it is never a substitute for your own research and a conversation with a licensed professional. If a product I have ever mentioned turns out to be a poor one, I would rather lose the commission than leave it standing.
What I make myself. I sell a small number of my own educational products — a beginner guide, an organizational toolkit, and printable worksheets. They contain no doses, no protocols, and no promises of results. My free tools — this calculator and my beginner checklist — will always be free, and so is my Telegram community.
The disclaimers, in full
Medical disclaimer. I am not a physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, pharmacist, dietitian, or therapist, and I hold no medical, clinical, or scientific credentials of any kind. Everything I share is general educational information and personal opinion. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your history. Nothing I publish recommends, endorses, or instructs anyone to obtain, prepare, or use any substance, and none of it contains doses, protocols, schedules, cycles, or stacks. Many products described as peptides are not approved by the FDA for human use and may be sold labeled for research purposes only; their safety and effectiveness for people have not been established. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before making any decision related to your health, and never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something I said. In a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. No result of any kind is promised or implied.
