Transcript

What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Kenji MoonfieldThe health secretary's office drafted a policy that would let compounding pharmacies prepare six peptides the FDA has not approved, and my guest has built a morning routine around it.

  2. Tamsin VargaI have, Kenji, and it starts at six a. m. Eastern with BPC-157, Epitalon, KPV, MOTS-c, Semax and TB-500. Use code DAWN for fifteen percent off.

  3. Kenji MoonfieldDoes the code work?

  4. Tamsin VargaYes. Well, it's DAWN15 now. If you tried DAWN, that's the old DAWN. Please just enjoy the new DAWN.

  5. Kenji MoonfieldCBS says FDA scientists found there isn't enough evidence for any of the six, and an advisory panel voted in July against its own scientists' recommendations anyway.

  6. Kenji MoonfieldIs that in the routine?

  7. Tamsin VargaIt's step three. I click my pill organizer, one compartment per peptide, and I say the word controlled.

  8. Tamsin VargaKennedy wrote that it's a more controlled alternative.

  9. Kenji MoonfieldAn HHS spokesperson said the policy doesn't grant approval or establish safety. So step three is a disclaimer.

  10. Tamsin VargaMy followers call it transparency. Use code DAWNSAFE for twenty percent off, and like the policy, it grants no approval.

  11. Kenji MoonfieldThat window runs through November thirteenth. CBS also tested retatrutide from a Brooklyn bodega, and the sample had no peptide in it at all.

  12. Tamsin VargaWhich proves the bodega isn't my sponsor. Mine is a very real pharmacy, and the code is DAWNREALDEAL. One word. Maybe two.

  13. Kenji MoonfieldNothing changes my rating: unapproved, and the code is the only thing I can't find.

  14. Kenji MoonfieldLast question. Where do I find the safety data?

  15. Tamsin VargaUse code DAWN for that too.
