Peptides are everywhere right now—from GLP-1s and weight loss to anti-aging and recovery—but what’s actually real, and what’s just hype?

Kelly sits down with five-time bestselling author and peptide expert Jay Campbell to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. They cover what peptides are, why they’ve suddenly exploded in popularity, and how they connect to things like GLP-1 medications.

The conversation also gets into the gray areas—what’s clinically backed vs. experimental, the real benefits people are seeing, and the risks that aren’t being talked about enough. Kelly asks the questions most people are thinking about, including FDA regulation, “research use only” labels, and what you’re actually getting if you buy peptides online.

They also talk transparency, safety, and the bigger picture: are we optimizing our health… or skipping over what our bodies actually need?

If you’ve been curious but overwhelmed by the peptide conversation, this episode gives you a clear, grounded place to start

The Velvet's Edge Podcast is an invitation to explore the beautiful, messy truth that real growth is an inside job. Hosted by Kelly Henderson—a celebrity stylist and men's groomer who has learned firsthand that "looking good" on the outside only gets you so far—this podcast is a space for the conversations you don't always hear out loud.

Life has a way of knocking us flat, and Kelly believes there is purpose in that pain. She uses her own journey of plot twists to show that true beauty is found by going inward. On some days, you'll hear deep dives with therapists, healers, and other people who have turned their pain into something beautiful. On other days, Kelly and Chip Dorsch laugh their way through the weird, messy "WTF is this life?" moments, because growth is easier when you and your bestie can laugh through it together.

This podcast is for you if you've ever felt empty despite doing everything you were "supposed to" do. It's for you if you're stuck in a toxic relationship cycle and don't know how to get out. It's for you if you're in the middle of a total life plot twist and have no idea where to start. You aren't broken beyond repair. You are simply a human on a soul's journey, and even though we each have our own path, it's a lot easier when we have a little help from our friends.
