In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of peptides—what they are, how they work, and why they’ve quietly become the holy grail for healing and aging well.

From BPC-157 to IGF-1, we talk through the injectables that are changing how we show up in our skin, our joints, and even our minds. (Yes, there’s one for brain fog, too.)

Enjoy!
