Scott and Warren welcome back Dr. Molly Maloof—physician focused on metabolic health, longevity, and human performance—for a wide-ranging conversation on peptides: what they are, why they’ve suddenly exploded in popularity, and how they’re actually being used in clinical practice.

From GLP-1 weight loss drugs to recovery, cognition, gut health, and anti-aging protocols, Dr. Molly breaks down the science behind peptides, separating real benefits from hype, and explaining where they fit into a broader approach to health.

She shares how her own experience using peptides after a head injury led her deeper into this field, and why she believes peptides can be powerful tools—when used thoughtfully, safely, and with proper sourcing.

The conversation also explores the risks, regulatory gray areas, and why quality control is one of the biggest challenges in the peptide space today.

In this episode, we explore:

* What peptides actually are and how they function in the body

* Why peptides are suddenly “everywhere”—and what changed

* The history of peptide research and their roots in global medicine

* How GLP-1 drugs (like semaglutide) transformed the peptide conversation

* The difference between peptides, proteins, and hormones

* Popular peptides for weight loss, muscle growth, recovery, and longevity

* Cognitive peptides like Semax and Selank—and alternatives to Adderall and benzos

* Gut health peptides (BPC-157, KPV) and why gut inflammation affects the brain

* The role of peptides in immune function, healing, and regeneration

* Risks to be aware of, including sourcing, contamination, and improper use

* Why peptide quality and manufacturing standards matter more than most people realize

* The difference between healthspan and lifespan—and where peptides actually help

Scott and Warren welcome Spencer Sherman—founder of Abacus Wealth Partners, meditation teacher, retreat leader, and author of The Cure for Money Madness—for a grounded, deeply relevant conversation about money: why it triggers so much fear, shame, comparison, and confusion, and how we can begin to build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with it.

Spencer shares how his early experiences with family conflict around money led him toward both wealth management and Buddhist meditation, and why the two are far more connected than they first appear.

They explore the emotional patterns that shape our financial lives—from scarcity and striving to enoughness, generosity, and self-worth—and how calming the nervous system can help us make wiser decisions with money and with life.

In this episode, we explore:

* Why money can feel even more taboo than sex, religion, or politics

* The difference between financial net worth and true self-worth

* How childhood beliefs and inherited family patterns shape our relationship with money

* Why comparison is one of the biggest drivers of financial stress and unhappiness

* The myth of “enough”—and why more money rarely solves inner scarcity

* How gratitude and generosity can rewire the brain’s fear response around money

* Why checking your finances too often can increase anxiety and lead to worse decisions

* How mindfulness, meditation, and equanimity help reduce reactivity and impulsive behavior

* The connection between self-worth, identity, and how much money we think we need

* How to align spending with genuine personal value instead of ego, fear, or social comparison

* Why building a life of meaning, service, and connection may be the real measure of wealth
