The Dr Pompa Podcast

Peptides promise weight loss, clearer skin, faster healing, and even longer life. But do they actually work?
Dr. Daniel Pompa breaks down the peptide trend and what people need to know before trying them. With peptides now sold widely online, quality and safety have become major concerns. Dr. Pompa explains why he is cautious about GLP-1 peptides for weight loss, including concerns about muscle loss and gaining weight back after stopping.
The episode also covers popular peptides like BPC 157 for healing and gut support, TB 500 for recovery, and GHK Cu for skin and collagen support. You will also hear about brain support peptides like Semax and Selank, gut options like KPV, and simple handling tips people often miss when using peptides.

Before peptides were trending online, Dylan Gemelli was already deep in the trenches—exploring, teaching, and testing the limits of performance and recovery. But his story didn’t start in a lab… it started in struggle.
From battling body image issues and addiction to pushing himself through some of the darkest places imaginable, Dylan’s journey is one of radical accountability and reinvention. What emerged wasn’t just knowledge—it was purpose.
In this episode, Daniel Pompa sits down with Dylan to unpack the truth about peptides and modern performance culture. A story and a teaching lesson you need if you are considering Ozempic, GLP-1s, or any other peptide.
They break down:
How peptides impact recovery, skin, gut health, endurance, and brain function
 -The realities of SARMs, TRT, steroids, and GLP-1 weight loss drugs
 -Why diet, hormones, and cellular health matter more than bloodwork alone
 -What’s real, what’s hype—and what could actually help you
If you’ve ever wondered whether peptides could help you lose weight, clear your skin, or extend your longevity… this conversation delivers clarity from someone who’s lived it.
This isn’t just about optimization.
 It’s about understanding the cost of transformation—and what it really takes to find your purpose and live a better life.

Could removing old plasma help you feel younger and reduce inflammation?
Dr Daniel Pompa explains plasmapheresis, or therapeutic plasma exchange, where older plasma is removed from your blood and healthy blood cells are returned. Adding younger donor plasma may provide extra hormones, peptides, and exosomes that help cells repair. People often notice improvements in mental clarity and energy first, while tissue and joint recovery takes longer. 

The episode also covers skin and recovery benefits like microneedling with plasma and other longevity strategies including red light therapy, PEMF, NAD precursors, methylene blue, and hydrogen.

Brain fog, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, and gut problems that will not resolve? It may point to hidden heavy metal toxicity.
Dr. Daniel Pompa explains how mercury, lead, and aluminum build up in the body and disrupt the brain, metabolism, sleep, and energy. Learn why standard blood tests often miss chronic exposure, how provoked urine testing works, and the real-world sources many people overlook such as dental amalgam fillings, seafood, and early life exposure. 

Dr. Pompa also shares a safer three-step framework for heavy metal detox that supports cellular detox pathways, uses proper chelation timing, and prevents toxin reabsorption through the gut.
