A Multi System Treatment Approach to Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD & Neurodegenerative Disease Using Peptides

A head injury does not stay in the head. In this episode of Peptides and Longevity, I share the talk I gave for Boston BioLife on treating traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and neurodegenerative disease as one connected problem instead of three separate ones. I walk through why the blood-brain barrier and the gut open at the same moment, how the immune system shifts and pulls mitochondria, hormones, and mast cells down with it, and which peptides I reach for first when a patient is not healing. If you have been told a brain injury just needs time, this is the mechanism nobody sat down and explained to you.- - - - - Kent Holtorf, MD, is the founder and medical director of Holtorf Medical Group.
