"The Skinny on Peptides" with Dr. Mark Bartlett & Dr. Alan Jones

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!RESOURCES:The Peptide PhD's Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-peptide-phds-podcast/id1846205928Make Wellness: Bioactive Precision Peptides: https://meet.makewellness.com/peptide-science?referral=amyludwigMore info on Peptides derived from nature: https://www.previewpeptides.com/optin1741835853330JoinCrowdHealth.org discount code JUSTTHINK.www.BentonIntegrative.com, mention our Podcast for a discount.TIMESTAMPS:1:46 — What peptides are and why they matter4:45 — Kristen explains how she got interested8:04 — GLP-1s and the difference between synthetic and natural peptides9:33 — Basic science: how peptides work in the body15:49 — Why modern life affects hunger, weight, and health20:45 — Why nature-inspired peptides are gaining attention26:26 — How natural peptides survive digestion28:26 — Muscle health and sarcopenia31:33 — Peptides for recovery, inflammation, and longevity35:02 — The importance of muscle and sleep43:19 — How peptide products are researched and chosen50:14 — Why dose and quality matter55:11 — Closing thoughts and caution around peptides56:10 — Where to find the guests
