Episode notes
Peptides as Signaling Agents
- Peptides are signaling agents made of amino acids, communicating between cells and organs.
- They facilitate cell adaptation by optimizing substrate use (glucose, fatty acids, proteins).
Peptides vs. Drugs
- Peptides are based on existing bodily compounds, unlike drugs which can be foreign.
- This familiarity reduces side effects, tolerance, and resistance, letting cells use their intelligence.
Peptides and Hormones
- Hormone supplementation is often super-physiologic, making monitoring difficult.
- Peptides improve cell efficiency, indirectly boosting natural hormone production (testosterone, growth hormone).
