hCG Peptide Explained: Clinical Research, Fat Loss, Hormones, and Therapeutic Potential

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is one of the most discussed—and misunderstood—peptides in hormone optimization, metabolic health, and weight management. In this in-depth podcast episode, we break down the science of the hCG peptide, exploring its mechanism of action, clinical research, hormonal effects, and proposed fat-loss applications.

This episode examines peer-reviewed clinical data, expert peptide commentary, and historical medical use of hCG in endocrinology, fertility medicine, hypogonadism, and metabolic regulation. We also address common myths surrounding hCG injections and hCG diet protocols, separating marketing claims from evidence-based medicine.
