The Peptide Code
A semi-private 3-day live workshop on the incredible benefits of peptides with high-performance coach Phil Richards.

🎓 Online workshop + exam bonus
20 Semi-private places only
Peptide information is everywhere — but so is misinformation.
There is a huge amount of misinformation and “bro science” around peptides online and within the fitness industry. Phil Richards created this workshop after throwing himself into the research, completing advanced educational courses on peptides and personally exploring the subject in depth.
With only 20 attendees, this semi-private workshop gives Phil more time for focused teaching, discussion and questions. It is designed to help you understand the scientific research behind peptides, how they may be used responsibly, and why health optimisation must come before simply looking at any peptide in isolation.
- Understand what peptides are and how they function.
- Learn why internal terrain, cellular health and mitochondria matter.
- Explore the role of blood, urine and stool testing before peptide decisions.
- Separate structured education from internet hype and industry noise.
Built for trainers, coaches, athletes, therapists and health-focused practitioners.
If you work with performance, fat loss, recovery, health, body composition or client transformation, this semi-private workshop gives you a deeper research-led understanding of peptides and the wider health optimisation framework around them, with only 20 places available.
Trainers & Coaches
For PTs, strength coaches, body transformation coaches, online coaches and gym owners who want stronger context around peptides, nutrition, training and recovery.
Therapists & Clinics
For sports therapists, physiotherapists, rehab specialists and clinic teams who want to understand the conversations clients are already having around peptides.
Athletes & Practitioners
For committed athletes and serious health practitioners who want education around performance, recovery, longevity, lab testing and health optimisation.
A practical education built from research, testing and real-world experience.
Phil will share the story behind his own 10-week transformation and the role peptides played in his personal regime, while making clear that he first completed comprehensive testing to assess his health status.
The key message of the workshop is that simply “pumping peptides into an unhealthy body” is not the answer. Understanding the body’s current health status, internal environment and support needs comes first.
- Why Phil tested blood, urine and stool markers before taking peptides.
- Why training, nutrition, supplements and lifestyle still matter.
- How health status can influence the direction of peptide education.
- Why practitioners need a responsible framework, not just a list of compounds.
Subjects covered inside the 3-day workshop.
A structured education covering peptide fundamentals, cellular health, lab testing, fat loss, mitochondrial function, muscle growth, recovery, gut health, immunity, brain function, sleep, arousal and longevity.
Understand exactly what peptides are, how they function and why a healthy internal terrain, healthy cells, cell membranes, cell receptors and mitochondria are essential for peptides to function optimally. This lesson also introduces lab tests that can help assess overall and cellular health.
Learn about the research and context around Semaglutide, Tirzepatide and Retatrutide, including diet, strength training, interval training, muscle maintenance, digestive health, detoxification and why testing may matter before considering weight loss peptides.
Focus on peptides discussed in relation to mitochondrial function, energy production, fat loss, muscle growth and disease-prevention context, including MOTS-C, SLU-PP-332, SS-31, NAD+ and 5-Amino-1MQ, plus what damages mitochondria and why nutrient status matters.
Explore growth hormone, testosterone, myostatin, recovery, visceral fat, brain function and performance context, including discussion of Tesamorelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, IGF-1 LR3, AOD-9604, MK-677, Sermorelin and follistatin.
Cover gut repair, immune function, collagen production, hair growth, skin regeneration, inflammation and tendon, ligament and muscle healing, including BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, KPV, LL-37, Larazotide, Thymogen and Thymosin Alpha-1.
Look at peptides discussed around brain function, brain regeneration, mental clarity, focus and anxiety, including BPC-157, cerebrolysin, selank and semax, alongside diet, hormones, supplements, exercise and lifestyle interventions.
Explore peptides discussed in relation to sleep quality and sex drive, including epithalon, DSIP, oxytocin, kisspeptin-10, pinealon and PT-141, alongside the role of melatonin and the relationship between growth hormone peptides and sleep quality.
