Today, I am thrilled to connect with a friend and colleague, Nat Niddam. Nat is a certified holistic nutritionist and epigenetic coach, and host of the Longevity with Nat Niddam podcast. She has one of the most engaged professional and public communities focused on peptide education and longevity protocols.
In today's discussion, we explain what peptides are and how they differ from HRT. We explore the differences between bioregulators and signaling peptides, clarify how peptides affect neurological and gut health, discuss beneficial peptides for muscle health and longevity, and examine the challenges surrounding peptide hype. We also explain why discernment is essential if you are considering peptides as part of a treatment plan with a licensed medical provider, and highlight specific topical peptides that can be helpful for aging skin.
I look forward to having Nat back to continue our conversation about peptide therapies.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
- What are peptides?
- How signaling peptides differ from bioregulators
- Why it’s essential to work with a knowledgeable practitioner when considering peptides
- Why sleep, hormones, stress levels, and gut health must be optimized before utilizing peptides
- How peptides can support recovery, muscle maintenance, and heavy training periods
- The importance of finding trustworthy practitioners and being skeptical of claims that sound too good to be true
- Peptide compounds that can help people recover faster between workouts
- Peptides and bioregulators that can support the immune system as we age
- Topical peptides that can support collagen, elastin, wound healing, and skin repair
