In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Micah Olson joins Dr. Urban to break down the complex world of peptides, longevity, and modern medicine. The discussion highlights the difference between “healthcare” and “sick care,” the importance of distinguishing use versus abuse of treatments, and why not all fat is created equal. Dr. Olson simplifies peptides as small chains of amino acids, contrasting them with proteins, and explains how therapies like BPC-157, originally discovered in dog gastric juice, have gained traction in regenerative health. The conversation also touches on the pitfalls of buzzwords like “anti-aging,” the role of the FDA in ensuring safety, and the importance of reading labels carefully—especially with peptides marketed as Research Use Only. With insights on certifications, DEXA scan evaluations, and the future of peptide therapy, this episode gives listeners both clarity and caution in navigating cutting-edge health innovations.

A third generation Phoenician, Dr. Olson received his medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine. He originally specialized in pediatric endocrinology, completing his residency at Phoenix Children’s and his fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. Dr. Olson directed the Obesity Program at Phoenix Children’s for 12 years and developed a reputation as a national expert in the management of pediatric obesity and endocrine disorders. He is board-certified in Obesity Medicine, and is regularly featured in Phoenix Magazine’s annual list of “Top Docs.” He has received multiple NIH-funded research grants, has co-authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications, and continues his research work as an Adjunct Professor in the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at Arizona State University.
