The Science of Peptides with Dr. Chris Shade: Rational Wellness Podcast 470

View the Show Notes For This Episode Dr. Chris Shade on Peptides, Liposomal Delivery, and Supporting GLP-1 Therapy Dr. Ben Weitz introduces the Rational Wellness Podcast and interviews Dr. Chris Shade, founder and CEO of QuickSilver Scientific, about peptides and oral liposomal delivery. Shade defines peptides as short amino-acid chains with signaling roles and explains how high-quality, small-particle, injectable-grade phosphatidylcholine liposomes enable intraoral absorption of water-soluble compounds like glutathione and certain peptides. They discuss BPC-157 for gut lining and broad tissue repair; KPV for inflammatory modulation (including Crohn's flares) via NF-kappa B and cytokine control; copper GHK for extracellular matrix/skin and connective-tissue support (including Ehlers-Danlos); and TB-500 for more angiogenic, muscle-oriented repair, often stacked with BPC and GHK ("Wolverine Stack"), with cycling and empty-stomach dosing. Shade also covers Epitalon and Thymulin for sleep, telomerase/telomeres, and immune balance, and outlines protocols to make GLP-1 drugs safer using bitters, binders, Lipotone, GLP-1 Amplifier, and nutritional/mineral support, while noting GI, bile-flow, and muscle-loss concerns. 00:00 Show Intro 00:59 Guest And Disclaimer 03:02 Peptides Explained 05:01 Liposomal Absorption 10:28 BPC 157 And KPV 14:58 Cancer Growth Concerns 19:00 Copper GHK Repair 22:24 TB 500 Wolverine Stack 23:54 Cycling And Dosing 24:42 Natural GLP Support 27:47 GLP Drug Risks 30:29 Epitalon And Thymulin 36:05 GLP Safety Protocol 38:06 Quinton Minerals Explained 39:55 Wrap Up And Resources   Dr. Christopher Shade is the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific, which has revolutionized the nutritional supplement industry with their innovative nanoparticles and liposomal delivery system, their heavy metal testing, and their detoxification protocols that have become the industry standard for many for eliminating heavy metals and other toxins.  But this liposomal delivery system is effective for increasing absorption of nutrients, hormones and now peptides.  And if you want to order from QuickSilver Scientific, you can use the promo code WEITZ10 for 10% off your first order at quicksilverscientific.com.
