In this episode, Dr. Craig Koniver, M.D., a board-certified physician trained at Brown University and Thomas Jefferson University, discusses the therapeutic application of peptides and hormones for enhancing physical and mental health and performance.We explore GLP-1 analogs for weight loss, BPC-157 for wound healing and reducing inflammation, as well as peptides that increase growth hormone, improve REM sleep, and enhance cognitive function. We also cover testosterone therapy, NAD, NMN, and NR supplementation, methylene blue for mitochondrial health, stem cell therapies, and supplements such as CoEnzyme Q10 and methylated B vitamins.Additionally, we discuss effective dosages, sourcing, safety considerations, and the importance of working with knowledgeable physicians. Whether you're currently using peptides or exogenous hormones, or simply curious about their potential benefits and risks, this episode provides the scientific rationale behind how peptides function, their potential to enhance mental and physical health, and how they can optimize performance.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanJoovv: https://joovv.com/hubermanBetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Craig Koniver00:04:52 Sponsors: Joovv & BetterHelp00:07:40 What is a Peptide?00:09:37 GLP-1 Agonists, Semaglutide Weight Loss, Brain Health00:15:49 GLP-1 Microdoses, Muscle Loss; Inflammation00:18:43 BPC-157, Inflammation00:23:27 BPC-157, Injection & Oral Forms; Injury Repair00:28:43 Sourcing, Anabolic Steroids, Testosterone00:34:48 Black & Gray Market, Compounding Pharmacies, Purity00:38:20 Sponsor: AG100:39:51 Partnering with a Physician, LPS00:43:00 BPC-157, Pentadeca Arginate (PDA); Side Effects & Doses00:46:35 Ipamorelin, GHRP-6, Sleep, Appetite; Tool: Sleep & Growth Hormone00:54:17 Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, CJC-1295; Stacking Peptides00:58:45 Sponsor: Function & Eight Sleep01:01:54 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Mitochondrial Health01:05:16 Prescriptions, Physicians & Trust01:14:09 Agency in Your Health01:17:13 MK-677, Appetite01:19:32 Hexarelin; Growth Hormone Secretagogues Dosing01:21:10 Methylated B Vitamins, Homocysteine01:24:47 Peptides for Sleep, Pinealon, Epitalon01:31:03 Glycine, Liver Detoxification; Dosage01:37:19 GLP-1, Compounding Pharmacies01:39:03 Stem Cell Therapy, PRP01:41:18 Thymosin Alpha-1, Cerebrolysin & Brain Health01:44:17 Peptides for Cognitive Function, Methylene Blue, Doses01:50:20 Covid, NAD Infusion, NMN & NR Supplements01:57:13 Nutritional Deficiencies; NAD Dose & Regimen, NMN & NR02:07:53 PT-141, Vyleesi, Libido; Nausea02:10:57 FDA Approval & Removal, Pharmaceutical Companies02:20:17 Positivity, Mindset & Health02:26:23 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
