During a recent Q&A episode, host Chris Williamson opened up about the peptide stack he is currently using as he continues to manage a range of chronic health issues, including mold toxicity and Lyme disease.
Responding to a listener question about whether he takes peptides, Williamson confirmed that he does and has been doing so for some time. He framed his use as therapeutic rather than performance-based.
“I like to use therapeutics and stuff to fix problems as opposed to enhance things when it comes to more medical style…” he explained.
His current stack centers on four compounds: BPC-157, TB-500, Thymosin Alpha-1, and SS-31. Each serves a specific purpose tied to his ongoing recovery. BPC-157 and TB-500 are being used for recovery and gut support, with a particular focus on tissue regeneration following a recent tooth extraction.
“I’m trying to regrow a bone in my face,” Williamson noted. Thymosin Alpha-1 is included for immune support, while SS-31, a mitochondria-targeting peptide, is there to address persistent fatigue. “I’m tired all the time,” he said plainly.
This is not Williamson’s first time using peptides. He traced his introduction back to his 2020 Achilles rupture, a 12-month recovery process during which he relied heavily on BPC-157 and TB-500.
“I do know that TB500 and BPC helped a lot when I ruptured my Achilles,” he said, appending the standard caveat that “this is not medical advice.”
Over the past year, Williamson has also experimented with a wider range of compounds, including PT-141 and Fragment 176-191 among others.
“I’ve tried lots of them,” he acknowledged.
His decision to discuss his peptide use came alongside a rare and candid admission about the toll his health situation has taken. Williamson described waking after nine hours of sleep still feeling unrested, dealing with persistent brain fog, and struggling with consistently low mood, all of which he attributed to the ongoing effects of mold exposure and Lyme disease.
He mentioned that he had largely kept these struggles private, not wanting to be “the guy that’s always got a health problem going on.”
Other treatments that have provided meaningful relief include hyperoxygenation therapy, during which his body was held at 104°F (40.5°C) for four hours, along with regular sauna use, binders, HBOT sessions, and daily morning walks. He was clear-eyed that there is no quick fix for a chronic problem, describing recovery as “slow detox over time” and “putting pennies in the jar over and over.”
Williamson closed the topic with a direct warning about sourcing. “You need to make sure that what you’re getting is actually what you’re getting because so much gray market horseshit is out there. So, please be careful,” he said.
