The human body has over 3,000 peptides that support different biochemical processes. Scientists have also discovered over 6,000 peptides in plants that are fit for human use.
What are peptides and which ones are right for you?
Awais Spall, a functional medicine practitioner, joins the show today to discuss the top 10 peptides he uses in his practice and their health benefits. He also shares his experience of how peptides quickly recovered his shoulder injury after everything else failed.
That experience led Awais to explore peptides, adding to his expertise in microbiome medicine and Ayurvedic interventions. Today, he shares the best ways to use peptides to regulate the immune system and improve the gut. He also recommends specific peptides for bodybuilding, skin health, a speedy recovery after surgery or infection, ADHD, and brain functions.

How Toxic Are You? [Free Quiz]
Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, mercury, and aluminum never went away. They are still present in home building materials, furniture, food, beverages, and more.
Finding ways to reduce exposure to these heavy metals (and many more) is incredibly important. To do that effectively, people first need to know which heavy metals they are being exposed to — if any.
This quiz was designed to evaluate individual risk factors for heavy metal exposure, and to gauge whether getting tested for heavy metals is recommended or not. Believe it or not, there are simple at-home tests people can take if they are being exposed — this quiz will determine if it’s worth it to take one.
