THE PEPTIDE BOOM: What You Need To Know Before You Try Them
Peptides are suddenly everywhere!
Theyβre being talked about for everything from gut health and injury recovery to metabolism, skin, hair, cognition, body composition, and healthy aging. But what exactly are peptides? How do they work? And how do you separate exciting emerging therapies from the hype?
One of the most important parts of this podcast episode isnβt about any single peptide. Itβs about the way medicine is changing. Patients have more access to health information than ever before. Theyβre researching treatments, listening to podcasts, reading studies, and coming into appointments asking informed questions about therapies they may have discovered on their own.
In this episode of The Flourishing Life Podcast, Jackie and Tad break down the rapidly evolving world of peptide therapy and explain what patients need to understand before considering peptides as part of their health journey.
