Grind, Recover, Repeat | Ep.6

In this episode of White Coat Black Sheep, Dr. Civelli sits down with personal trainer David Watkins aka S.I.L.A.S. Black for an honest conversation about grind culture, recovery, and the peptide everyone in fitness is talking about. David opens up about the work ethic instilled by the women who raised him, the physical toll of never slowing down, and how his coaching philosophy goes far beyond the gym. Dr. Civelli then breaks down BPC-157 — what the research actually shows, where the FDA stands, and how it works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.

Real conversation. Real science. No fluff.
