Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs: What's the appeal?

Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs: What's the appeal?

In this episode, we are joined by Liberty Musungo, Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) Lead for Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Service (DDAS). Liberty takes us through what IPEDs are and how they work on the body. We also discuss why people take IPEDs and why injecting them is considered safer than using the substances in tablet or cream forms.

We also discuss how people use them, in the form of cycles and why doing post-cycle treatments are essential as part of the process of using IPEDs. Plus we talk through how influential peer-led advice and social media is, when it comes to people using IPEDs.
