Episode Description In this episode, peptide researcher and specialist Dean Henry dives into the fascinating and fast-growing world of peptides and bioregulators. Dean explains how these compounds are being used to support thyroid health, reduce inflammation, and aid in chronic conditions like endometriosis and autoimmune diseases. He also shares insights into groundbreaking applications for brain health, including cognitive enhancement and protocols for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
We discuss the rise of GLP-1 peptides for obesity and weight loss, why microdosing may be the safest and most effective approach, and how to avoid common misconceptions about these compounds. From mitochondrial support with SS-31 to recovery peptides like BPC-157, Dean provides both a scientific and practical lens on how these therapies can enhance longevity and well-being.
This conversation is packed with both cutting-edge science and down-to-earth wisdom, giving listeners a clear understanding of where peptides could fit into the bigger picture of their health optimization routine.
