Episode 203: Is Adding GLP-1s & Peptides to Your Gym Business Worth It?

GLP-1s, peptides, and medically supervised weight-loss programs are exploding — but many gym owners are unsure whether the opportunity is worth the risk, complexity, or compliance concerns.

In this episode, Scott Carpenter sits down with Justin Lesh of Asher Med to break down the real business case for adding GLP-1s and peptides into a gym or coaching business — without inventory risk, legal headaches, or losing control of the client relationship.
