Understanding Peptides and Their Roles
Peptides are small proteins that play crucial roles in various physiological functions within the body. Dr. Craig Conover, a specialist in performance medicine, emphasizes the therapeutic potential of exogenous peptides for enhancing mental and physical health. Exogenous peptides can activate multiple pathways in both the brain and body, offering benefits such as improved metabolism, muscle recovery, and hormonal balance. Peptides such as insulin have long been recognized for their medical applications, and newer compounds like GLP-1 analogs (Ozempic and Monjaro) are gaining attention for their weight-loss and metabolic benefits.
