Ashy Bines Slammed for Irresponsible Peptide Promo

Australian influencer Ashy Bynes is facing intense backlash for openly promoting unregulated peptide use, despite listing severe side effects like anxiety, heart palpitations, and injection site reactions. The podcast exposes how Bynes and her co-host Tiana shared explicit details about their daily peptide regimen—including sourcing from a TikTok influencer posing as a doctor—while claiming they weren’t giving medical advice. This hypocrisy has sparked outrage, with critics calling it a dangerous form of promotion disguised as transparency. The episode draws a sharp line between legal skincare peptides and unregulated, injectable compounds used for anti-aging and weight loss, highlighting that these substances are not FDA-approved, often bought through shady online channels, and can cause serious harm. The conversation extends to Sammy Guggenheimer, who was caught in a 'gotcha' moment after a receipt from Prime Peptides went viral, forcing her to clarify she uses peptides for skin and gut health—not appetite suppression—while revealing her history with anorexia. The episode critiques the broader culture of influencer transparency, arguing that even 'honest' disclosures about dangerous practices can normalize them, especially when young, impressionable audiences are involved.
