**Kyle Thompson** (0:00)
Let's be honest. Most men drift. We wake up, we scroll, we work, and then we just rinse and repeat. And we know we're softer than we should be.
That's why I built the 31 Day Resilience Reset. This is not a devotional. It is a field manual for men ready to stop drifting and start fighting back. So for 31 days, you'll train your spirit, mind, and body with scripture, prayer, and daily challenges that forge real resilience. Go to www.Undaunted.Life.

This is Undaunted Life, A Man's Podcast. I'm your host, Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it. All right, guys, we've got a special guest on the podcast today. His name is Ernie Colling. He's a United States Army veteran. And the cool thing about his life is not only did he serve in the Army, he was an infantryman, but because of what he did as, you know, an enlisted guy, but also on the contracting side, he experienced a lot of problems with his body, as a lot of people in our military have. And so a lot of wear and tear, a lot of inflammation. And so he was trying to find some relief from it. And he found that through peptides. And so he got into the peptide world and then he just stayed in it. Now he is the CEO of a company called Victrix. And so on this podcast today, we're trying to just educate you. Okay, what are peptides? What's the truth about how they should be used? Who should be on them? What are the common kinds? Because right now, everywhere you turn, someone's talking about peptides, right? And then, I mean, you got soccer moms talking about them and selling them. And then you're like, wait a minute, like there's injectable peptides. There's, you know, ones that come in powder form. There's capsules, there's all kinds of different things. And there's so much misinformation and really disinformation out there about peptides. So, we're trying to just set the record clear. You know, what are they? How do they work inside the body? I give them some scenarios of some different types of people, guys that I've been asked, you know, guys in my audience that have asked me about peptides. And I'm like, OK, I know your situation, but I don't know what to tell you because I'm not an expert at this. And he really just gives us a flyover. We don't get super technical in this podcast today, but we just talk about what they are, how they can be used responsibly. You can't turn yourself into a mutant. This isn't like taking anabolic steroids or some crazy HGH or something like that. It's just very, very different. And also, you'll be hearing a lot about Victrix Wellness here in the next few months. They really add in for an item because this year was a very important year for me after my bicep rupture. I'm like, oh crap, I'm turning 40 this year, my bicep just ruptured. I have to have a major surgery. I've got to be on something that's going to help me heal. And so I ended up finding after going a bunch of different pathways, finding Victrix Wellness and we're actually doing a deal with them to where if you are an undaunted life listener and you go to victrixwellness.com/coaching, that's v-i-c-t-r-i-x wellness.com/coaching, they will know that I sent you and you can have a free concierge consultation to figure out, okay, what are you on now? What do you potentially need to be on? Are you even a good candidate for peptides? All those kinds of things. And so guys, you can check that out in the show notes. But really today, even outside of that, because if you want to partner with them on your own personal wellness and you want to have a coach that's kind of helping you through it, they're going to be a great resource for you. But even if not, you got to know what peptides are because the market for them, especially in the last five years, has absolutely exploded. And so I don't want you to have bad information. I don't want you buying crazy supplements off of some random Russian website or something like that. If you're going to get into this world, I want you to do it responsibly. I want you to know the differences between the things that you might be putting into your body so that you can be safe and also so that you can optimize. So guys, I really enjoyed my time with Ernie today. So without further ado, let's get into it.
