If you've followed along whether on social or on this podcast, you know I talk about peptides and their benefits quite a lot. That's why I'm so excited for today's episode with Dr. Suzanne Ferree.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, Dr. Ferree and I dive into several different peptides, their benefits, and new research that is evolving. We discuss the blood brain barrier, it's importance, and how to prevent it from becoming compromised. Some peptides, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Join us as we discuss these peptides, and more!

Overall, this episode offers guidance on using peptides for various health issues, but also the importance of having healthy lifestyle habits before diving into peptide repair. Healthy lifestyle habits will support peptide efficacy, so it's where everyone should start.

Dr. Suzanne Ferree uses bioidentical hormones, peptide therapy, neural therapy, and regenerative medicine to treat patients with endocrine, mitochondrial, infectious, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases. Her thriving practice treats executives and athletes from around the world as well as patients with chronic or unusual diseases.

Her new book, Counterclockwise comes out March 4th, 2024.

Key Takeaways:

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is crucial for brain health and can be compromised by various factors like toxins, traumatic brain injury, and inflammation. Protecting and repairing the BBB is essential for optimal cognitive function.
Several peptides can be used to support brain health in different ways. Some, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. However, it's important to use these peptides under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional and consider individual factors like existing medical conditions.
A holistic approach to brain health is crucial. While peptides can offer targeted support, it's important to combine them with other strategies like healthy diet, exercise, and stress management for optimal results.
