Quinn Stillson MD's Podcast

Should you get a full body MRI? Most people decide based on cost. That's the wrong question. Even with unlimited money, for the average person the scan sends roughly 10 people down a path of potential harm for every 1 it potentially helps. But there is a specific group of people where it's worth it, and this video shows you how to find out if you're one of them. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD, A4M board-certified in longevity medicine) walks through the actual evidence on whole body MRI s

Most people building muscle and losing fat are optimizing the wrong variable. The single fastest studied way to gain muscle adds 13 lbs of lean mass in 10 weeks — but effectiveness alone tells you nothing about whether something is worth doing. The interventions with the biggest body composition effects are very often the worst things you can do for your long-term health. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD + strength coach) ranks EVERY body recomposition intervention on three axes: how much m

"Do peptides cause cancer?" is one of the most common questions about BPC-157, TB-500, and the GH peptides—and it's also the most misunderstood. You're normally given one of two answers: yes, be terrified, or no, don't worry about it. Neither is right, because this was never a yes-or-no question. Cancer doesn't work that way—and once you understand how it actually does work, the question reshapes into something far more useful for deciding how to use these compounds. In this video, Dr. Quinn Sti

Semax is often marketed as a powerful nootropic peptide that can improve focus, memory, and cognition but the actual evidence tells a more nuanced story. While Semax has shown promising effects in specific situations, particularly during periods of cognitive stress, fatigue, and neurological recovery, there is far less evidence that healthy, well-rested individuals will experience the same benefits. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD + strength coach) breaks down the complete evidence behind

Retatrutide is the most powerful weight loss peptide ever studied—but the drug is only half the equation. HOW you use it determines whether you walk away lean, strong, and metabolically healthier, or whether you lose muscle, watch your skin and hair suffer, tank your energy, and STILL leave fat loss on the table. The same appetite suppression that makes Retatrutide so effective is exactly what gets people into trouble when they lose weight too fast. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD + streng

Retatrutide is the most powerful weight loss peptide ever studied—a triple agonist hitting GLP-1, GIP, AND glucagon receptors, producing up to 28.7% body weight loss in Phase 3 data. But being the BEST at weight loss doesn't automatically make Retatrutide the best peptide for YOU. The answer depends on your starting weight, your metabolic health, your cardiovascular risk, and whether you're chasing fat loss or longevity. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD + strength coach) breaks down the com
