INSIGHT

History of Peptides

Peptides, as a therapeutic approach, have existed for over a century, starting with the discovery of secretin in 1901.
Their use has recently exploded due to advancements in science and understanding of their mechanisms.

INSIGHT

Peptide Mechanisms

Peptides function as signaling molecules within the body, acting as communicators between cells.
Some peptides work directly by initiating responses, while others influence gene expression to produce more peptides.

INSIGHT

Growth Hormone vs. Secretagogues

Growth hormone has broad effects on the body, while secretagogues offer more targeted stimulation of growth hormone release.
Secretagogues can help maintain optimal growth hormone levels without the risks of overdosing.

Peptides will most likely be a familiar term for most listeners of this podcast, with the awareness of their benefits and effects growing steadily during the last part of the 20th century and into this one. Today we are joined by Ryan Smith, one of the top three leading experts on the subject of peptides! He is the CEO of Tailor Made Compounding, a company out of Kentucky that has now gone international. He is here to discuss the impact of peptides, the effects of certain products and just share his general genius for this area of knowledge. It has become clear that peptide use, amongst so many other types of supplements and health science, is the most tissue-specific treatment modality and Ryan shares so much about how this all works in many different cases. You are not going to want to miss out on a second of this conversation! He gets into so many different products, some of which might be familiar and many you may not have heard of too.
