Peptides seem to be all the rage these days, especially the GLP1s and their use for weight loss, But peptides have been used for decades (hello, insulin--it's a peptide!), with seemingly more uses being discovered all the time for things like healing, sleep, muscle preservation, hydration, anti-inflammation, etc.
But are they SAFE?
We want to know the risks vs. the benefits, why they work, how they work, and if we could benefit from them...what is the safest way to use them? Do we have to have them injected? Can we take them orally?
So we asked two renowned experts on bioactive precision peptides, Dr. Mark Bartlett & Dr. Alan Jones, about the new discoveries regarding peptides derived from nature--from. plants like fava beans, which can be taken orally as a GLP1. Do they really work? If so, how? And how do they work in comparison to brands like Wegovy and Ozempic?
We dive into all of this and more in an episode designed to help you find what is right--and SAFE--for you!
