Unproven Peptides: A CEO's $70,000-a-Year Health Regimen
February 5, 2026 - 5:00 am
Marketing executive Andrew Raso starts his day with a unique routine. He embraces the morning sun, sips on saltwater, and strolls barefoot across the grass. But the real intrigue lies in his daily supplement regimen. Raso takes a carefully curated blend of peptides, each with a specific purpose: one for accelerated recovery, another to repair joints, a third to rejuvenate skin, and two to boost human growth hormone and enhance sleep quality. Despite a lack of human studies proving their efficacy, Raso is convinced of their benefits, citing promising preclinical research (https://journals.lww.com/jaaosglobal/fulltext/2026/01000/therapeuticpeptidesinorthopaedics.1.aspx).
For Raso, this isn't merely about avoiding illness; it's about maximizing performance. He boasts of feeling exceptional 99% of the time, challenging the widespread acceptance of daily fatigue. Raso believes that too many people have normalized a constant state of tiredness.
