In the latest South China Morning Post press feature, Dr. Chan addresses growing public interest in longevity biohacking—particularly the trend of peptide stacking. As more biohackers discuss peptides as a potential tool for improving health span, many are left with pressing questions about how peptides may support the body’s ability to recover, repair, and rebuild at the cellular level—especially in comparison to regenerative approaches such as stem cell therapy. The article also explores the most important concerns from readers: whether peptide use is truly safe, what benefits people may expect, and what risks or limitations may come with it.
During the interview, Dr. Chan explains in clear terms how peptides work, the pros and cons of using peptide therapy, and the specific groups of individuals who should not use peptides. He also outlines what patients and clients should prepare before starting treatment, helping readers better understand what to consider, what to ask, and how to make informed decisions about this fast-growing longevity topic.
Taking multiple synthetic peptides to target goals like weight loss, muscle growth and injury recovery is not without its risks, experts say.
