How do you explain this hobby to friends/partner?

Wife finally asked about the vials in the fridge last night and I realized I've been quietly building a pharmacy while telling her it's 'just supplements.' The look on her face was not favorable.
How do people actually talk about this IRL without sounding like a weird biohacker?

I'm a doctor and I still get the eyebrow from my partner. The truth is the healthiest option — 'these are peptides, they're legal research chemicals, here's the benefit I'm targeting.' Short and boring is best.

I tell my wife they're 'doctor-prescribed recovery injections' and technically that's not a lie because my buddy is a doctor and he prescribed them in a group chat.

Mine just says 'you and your little injections' in the same tone she uses for my plants. I'll take it.

I don't explain it. I keep one mini fridge in the garage. Problem doesn't arise.

This thread is the most useful non-useful thread I've read in months. Thanks team.

Honesty beats the fridge lie eventually. I just told mine straight up what I was doing, why, and what the actual risks were vs what she'd probably read online. Took like three conversations but she went from "are you dying" to "okay just don't be stupid about it." Way less stressful than the garage mini fridge cover story collapsing at some point and looking way worse.
