Managing Life After Gallbladder Removal and Preventing SIBO

What if peptides weren't just about weight loss?

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I sit down with Kyle from LVLUP Health to clear up the confusion around peptides: what they actually are, how they work, why they can be a total game-changer for your health.

We talk about peptides that repair your gut (like BPC-157), calm inflammation (hello, KPV), and support your liver and hormone balance from the inside out.

He also shares his own story of burnout and healing, the real science behind oral vs. injectable peptides, and why your gut health might be the root of those hormone struggles that "hormones alone" can't fix.

If your digestion, energy, or skin just aren't what they used to be, this episode will help you understand how supporting the gut-liver connection with peptides might be the missing piece.

Kyle Van Der Leest is a qualified Nutritionist and Naturopath, and the brain behind LVLUP Health. He's created a line of science-backed supplements designed to support gut health, tissue repair, and overall vitality.
