Healing, weight loss, energy, 0:09 time. Healing, weight loss, energy, 0:09 time. Healing, weight loss, energy, brain health, growth hormone. 0:11 brain health, growth hormone. 0:11 brain health, growth hormone. But, here's what I haven't shown you yet 0:14 But, here's what I haven't shown you yet 0:14 But, here's what I haven't shown you yet is actually how they all work together. 0:17 is actually how they all work together. 0:17 is actually how they all work together. Because in my clinical practice, 0:19 Because in my clinical practice, 0:19 Because in my clinical practice, peptides rarely are used alone. They're 0:22 peptides rarely are used alone. They're 0:22 peptides rarely are used alone. They're combined, stacked, and based on what a 0:25 combined, stacked, and based on what a 0:26 combined, stacked, and based on what a patient actually needs. 0:28 patient actually needs. 0:28 patient actually needs. And the combinations matter as much as 0:30 And the combinations matter as much as 0:30 And the combinations matter as much as the individual peptides. Today, I'm 0:33 the individual peptides. Today, I'm 0:33 the individual peptides. Today, I'm going to show you the most common 0:35 going to show you the most common 0:35 going to show you the most common peptides I use in my practice, how I 0:37 peptides I use in my practice, how I 0:37 peptides I use in my practice, how I combine them, and why certain stacks 0:40 combine them, and why certain stacks 0:40 combine them, and why certain stacks produce better results than any single 0:42 produce better results than any single 0:42 produce better results than any single peptide on its own. I'm Dr. Myra Reed, a 0:45 peptide on its own. I'm Dr. Myra Reed, a 0:45 peptide on its own.

Everything I do runs from our four 1:01 Everything I do runs from our four 1:02 Everything I do runs from our four pillars: hormones, 1:04 pillars: hormones, 1:04 pillars: hormones, gut, lifestyle, environment. My focus is 1:08 gut, lifestyle, environment. My focus is 1:08 gut, lifestyle, environment. My focus is on helping you to live smarter, 1:10 on helping you to live smarter, 1:10 on helping you to live smarter, stronger, longer. Now, before I get into 1:13 stronger, longer. Now, before I get into 1:13 stronger, longer. Now, before I get into this, there are additional peptides 1:15 this, there are additional peptides 1:15 this, there are additional peptides being studied and used in clinical 1:17 being studied and used in clinical 1:17 being studied and used in clinical settings beyond what I'm going to cover 1:18 settings beyond what I'm going to cover 1:19 settings beyond what I'm going to cover today. So, we're just going to touch on 1:21 today. So, we're just going to touch on 1:21 today. So, we're just going to touch on the most common ones that I'm using in 1:23 the most common ones that I'm using in 1:23 the most common ones that I'm using in my practice right now. This isn't an 1:25 my practice right now. This isn't an 1:25 my practice right now. This isn't an exhaustive list. It's the foundation of 1:28 exhaustive list. It's the foundation of 1:28 exhaustive list. It's the foundation of what we're starting with. And the 1:29 what we're starting with. And the 1:29 what we're starting with. And the combinations also that I've seen produce 1:32 combinations also that I've seen produce 1:32 combinations also that I've seen produce the most consistent results. Let's start 1:34 the most consistent results. Let's start
First Responders for Tissue Repair 1:35 the most consistent results. Let's start with what I call first responders. These 1:37 with what I call first responders. These 1:37 with what I call first responders. These are the peptides I reach for when a 1:39 are the peptides I reach for when a 1:39 are the peptides I reach for when a patient has tissue damage, chronic pain, 1:42 patient has tissue damage, chronic pain, 1:43 patient has tissue damage, chronic pain, joint issues, or inflammation that isn't 1:45 joint issues, or inflammation that isn't 1:45 joint issues, or inflammation that isn't resolving. BPC 157 is called body 1:49 resolving. BPC 157 is called body 1:49 resolving. BPC 157 is called body protection compound. We covered that in 1:51 protection compound. We covered that in 1:51 protection compound. We covered that in detail in week two. 1:53 detail in week two. 1:53 detail in week two. It's connected to the gastric proteins 1:55 It's connected to the gastric proteins 1:55 It's connected to the gastric proteins naturally produced in our gut. And these 1:58 naturally produced in our gut. And these 1:58 naturally produced in our gut. And these proteins will diminish as we age. It 2:00 proteins will diminish as we age. It 2:00 proteins will diminish as we age. It acts locally to support the healing of 2:02 acts locally to support the healing of 2:02 acts locally to support the healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gut 2:05 tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gut 2:05 tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gut lining. Remember Sarah's story we were 2:07 lining. Remember Sarah's story we were 2:07 lining. Remember Sarah's story we were talking about how I started on that 2:09 talking about how I started on that 2:09 talking about how I started on that BPC-157 2:11 BPC-157 2:11 BPC-157 and 3 days later she texted me with the 2:14 and 3 days later she texted me with the 2:14 and 3 days later she texted me with the words life-changing. Then we're going to 2:16 words life-changing. Then we're going to 2:16 words life-changing. Then we're going to get into how we talked about TB-500 2:19 get into how we talked about TB-500 2:19 get into how we talked about TB-500 related to that Thymosin beta-4. This 2:22 related to that Thymosin beta-4. This 2:22 related to that Thymosin beta-4. This one works more systemically. 2:25 one works more systemically. 2:25 one works more systemically. Where BPC-157 is targeted, the TB-500 is 2:29 Where BPC-157 is targeted, the TB-500 is 2:29 Where BPC-157 is targeted, the TB-500 is more of a broader result. It promotes 2:32 more of a broader result. It promotes 2:32 more of a broader result. It promotes cell migration, may help reduce 2:34 cell migration, may help reduce 2:34 cell migration, may help reduce fibrosis, which is scar tissue, and it 2:37 fibrosis, which is scar tissue, and it 2:37 fibrosis, which is scar tissue, and it makes particularly useful for larger 2:39 makes particularly useful for larger 2:39 makes particularly useful for larger injuries, chronic stiffness, and those 2:41 injuries, chronic stiffness, and those 2:42 injuries, chronic stiffness, and those mobility issues. The GHK-Cu, which Cu 2:45 mobility issues. The GHK-Cu, which Cu 2:45 mobility issues. The GHK-Cu, which Cu means copper, it's a peptide. This is 2:47 means copper, it's a peptide. This is 2:47 means copper, it's a peptide. This is one of the peptides that people are so 2:50 one of the peptides that people are so 2:50 one of the peptides that people are so often surprised to even hear about. It's 2:52 often surprised to even hear about. It's 2:52 often surprised to even hear about. It's a powerful regenerator that can help 2:54 a powerful regenerator that can help 2:55 a powerful regenerator that can help support things like collagen production 2:57 support things like collagen production 2:57 support things like collagen production and tissue remodeling. It's being 2:59 and tissue remodeling. It's being 2:59 and tissue remodeling. It's being discussed for both joint support and 3:02 discussed for both joint support and 3:02 discussed for both joint support and skin health. So, you're getting 3:04 skin health. So, you're getting 3:04 skin health. So, you're getting structural repair across multiple 3:06 structural repair across multiple 3:06 structural repair across multiple systems at the same time. Now, here's 3:08 systems at the same time. Now, here's 3:08 systems at the same time. Now, here's where it gets interesting. In my 3:10 where it gets interesting. In my 3:10 where it gets interesting. In my practice, I rarely use these alone. The 3:12 practice, I rarely use these alone. The 3:12 practice, I rarely use these alone. The combination of BPC-157 3:15 combination of BPC-157 3:15 combination of BPC-157 and the TB-500 together is what some 3:18 and the TB-500 together is what some 3:18 and the TB-500 together is what some people call the recovery stack. You get 3:20 people call the recovery stack. You get 3:21 people call the recovery stack. You get the targeted local healing from the 3:22 the targeted local healing from the 3:23 the targeted local healing from the BPC-157 3:24 BPC-157 3:24 BPC-157 and the systemic tissue repair from the 3:26 and the systemic tissue repair from the 3:26 and the systemic tissue repair from the TB-500, which works on the tails and 3:28 TB-500, which works on the tails and 3:29 TB-500, which works on the tails and together. For patients with chronic 3:31 together. For patients with chronic 3:31 together. For patients with chronic injuries like joint pain, post-surgical 3:34 injuries like joint pain, post-surgical 3:34 injuries like joint pain, post-surgical recovery, this combination can produce 3:37 recovery, this combination can produce 3:37 recovery, this combination can produce results that neither peptide achieves on 3:39 results that neither peptide achieves on 3:40 results that neither peptide achieves on its own. When you start adding the 3:42 its own. When you start adding the 3:42 its own. When you start adding the GHK-Cu, 3:44 GHK-Cu, 3:44 GHK-Cu, that creates an enhanced version for 3:46 that creates an enhanced version for 3:46 that creates an enhanced version for total body tissue rejuvenation for like 3:50 total body tissue rejuvenation for like 3:50 total body tissue rejuvenation for like tendons, ligaments, skin, and the 3:52 tendons, ligaments, skin, and the 3:53 tendons, ligaments, skin, and the connective tissues being supported all 3:55 connective tissues being supported all 3:55 connective tissues being supported all at once. The next category we talked
Optimizing Growth Hormone Naturally 3:58 at once. The next category we talked 3:58 at once. The next category we talked about was the growth hormone 3:59 about was the growth hormone 3:59 about was the growth hormone optimization. We went deep into this in 4:02 optimization. We went deep into this in 4:02 optimization. We went deep into this in week five. So, let me summarize the key 4:05 week five. So, let me summarize the key 4:05 week five. So, let me summarize the key points and show you how some of these 4:07 points and show you how some of these 4:07 points and show you how some of these peptides are stacked. Remember these 4:09 peptides are stacked. Remember these 4:09 peptides are stacked. Remember these there were secretagogues. That's the 4:12 there were secretagogues. That's the 4:12 there were secretagogues. That's the ones that signal to your pituitary gland 4:14 ones that signal to your pituitary gland 4:14 ones that signal to your pituitary gland to produce it's your own growth hormone. 4:17 to produce it's your own growth hormone. 4:17 to produce it's your own growth hormone. They don't add growth hormone from the 4:19 They don't add growth hormone from the 4:19 They don't add growth hormone from the outside of people would use injections 4:21 outside of people would use injections 4:21 outside of people would use injections for replacing. This is stimulating your 4:24 for replacing. This is stimulating your 4:24 for replacing. This is stimulating your own body's which stays your body stays 4:26 own body's which stays your body stays 4:27 own body's which stays your body stays in control. And then the CJC-1295 4:30 in control. And then the CJC-1295 4:30 in control. And then the CJC-1295 specifically without DAC is generally 4:33 specifically without DAC is generally 4:33 specifically without DAC is generally preferred because it mimics the body's 4:35 preferred because it mimics the body's 4:35 preferred because it mimics the body's natural growth hormone pulsing it rather 4:38 natural growth hormone pulsing it rather 4:38 natural growth hormone pulsing it rather than creating that constant elevated 4:40 than creating that constant elevated 4:40 than creating that constant elevated level. It's the foundation of most 4:43 level. It's the foundation of most 4:43 level. It's the foundation of most growth hormone protocols. Ipamorelin 4:45 growth hormone protocols. Ipamorelin 4:45 growth hormone protocols. Ipamorelin triggers growth hormone release through 4:47 triggers growth hormone release through 4:47 triggers growth hormone release through the ghrelin receptor but without 4:49 the ghrelin receptor but without 4:49 the ghrelin receptor but without significantly affecting appetite or 4:51 significantly affecting appetite or 4:51 significantly affecting appetite or cortisol levels. 4:53 cortisol levels. 4:53 cortisol levels. That clean profile is why it is the most 4:56 That clean profile is why it is the most 4:56 That clean profile is why it is the most commonly paired peptide with CJC-1295. 5:00 commonly paired peptide with CJC-1295. 5:00 commonly paired peptide with CJC-1295. Tesamorelin is specifically recognized 5:02 Tesamorelin is specifically recognized 5:02 Tesamorelin is specifically recognized for reducing visceral adipose tissue, 5:05 for reducing visceral adipose tissue, 5:05 for reducing visceral adipose tissue, that belly fat. It's one of the few 5:07 that belly fat. It's one of the few 5:07 that belly fat. It's one of the few peptides in this category that actually 5:09 peptides in this category that actually 5:09 peptides in this category that actually has FDA approval for a specific clinical 5:12 has FDA approval for a specific clinical 5:12 has FDA approval for a specific clinical use. Insermorelin is a milder option, 5:15 use. Insermorelin is a milder option, 5:15 use. Insermorelin is a milder option, shorter half-life, more frequent dosing 5:18 shorter half-life, more frequent dosing 5:18 shorter half-life, more frequent dosing but a longer track record of clinical 5:20 but a longer track record of clinical 5:20 but a longer track record of clinical use and a lower side effect profile. 5:23 use and a lower side effect profile. 5:23 use and a lower side effect profile. This is good for patients seeking 5:25 This is good for patients seeking 5:25 This is good for patients seeking vitality and lean muscle support without 5:27 vitality and lean muscle support without 5:27 vitality and lean muscle support without a more aggressive protocol. The stacks 5:30 a more aggressive protocol. The stacks 5:30 a more aggressive protocol. The stacks here are gold dependent. For performance 5:33 here are gold dependent. For performance 5:33 here are gold dependent. For performance and longevity, CJC-1295 5:36 and longevity, CJC-1295 5:36 and longevity, CJC-1295 plus Ipamorelin. This is the gold 5:38 plus Ipamorelin. This is the gold 5:38 plus Ipamorelin. This is the gold standard. It's typically administered at 5:41 standard. It's typically administered at 5:41 standard. It's typically administered at bedtime so that it lines with your 5:43 bedtime so that it lines with your 5:43 bedtime so that it lines with your body's natural circadian rhythm of 5:45 body's natural circadian rhythm of 5:45 body's natural circadian rhythm of growth hormone release at night. That 5:48 growth hormone release at night. That 5:48 growth hormone release at night. That timing really matters because growth 5:50 timing really matters because growth 5:50 timing really matters because growth hormone pulses are the strongest during 5:53 hormone pulses are the strongest during 5:53 hormone pulses are the strongest during deep sleep. So, you're working with your 5:56 deep sleep. So, you're working with your 5:56 deep sleep. So, you're working with your body's biology, not against it. For 5:59 body's biology, not against it. For 5:59 body's biology, not against it. For aggressive fat loss, tesamorelin plus 6:01 aggressive fat loss, tesamorelin plus 6:02 aggressive fat loss, tesamorelin plus ipamorelin. This combination 6:03 ipamorelin. This combination 6:03 ipamorelin. This combination specifically targets visceral fat while 6:06 specifically targets visceral fat while 6:06 specifically targets visceral fat while maintaining growth hormone pulse 6:08 maintaining growth hormone pulse 6:08 maintaining growth hormone pulse support. You can refer back to these 6:10 support. You can refer back to these 6:10 support. You can refer back to these last week's videos 6:12 last week's videos 6:12 last week's videos for the deep dive of CJC and ipamorelin
Mitochondrial Mimetics for Energy 6:14 for the deep dive of CJC and ipamorelin 6:15 for the deep dive of CJC and ipamorelin and more. The third category that we 6:17 and more. The third category that we 6:17 and more. The third category that we went through was cellular energy. These 6:19 went through was cellular energy. These 6:19 went through was cellular energy. These are what some researchers are referring 6:22 are what some researchers are referring 6:22 are what some researchers are referring to the mitochondrial mimetics. They 6:26 to the mitochondrial mimetics. They 6:26 to the mitochondrial mimetics. They improve how your cells produce energy 6:29 improve how your cells produce energy 6:29 improve how your cells produce energy and produce fuel. SS-31, also known as 6:32 and produce fuel. SS-31, also known as 6:32 and produce fuel. SS-31, also known as elamipretide, this peptide acts at the 6:36 elamipretide, this peptide acts at the 6:36 elamipretide, this peptide acts at the mitochondrial membrane. It think of it 6:38 mitochondrial membrane. It think of it 6:38 mitochondrial membrane. It think of it as the membrane protection and it may 6:41 as the membrane protection and it may 6:41 as the membrane protection and it may even help reduce oxidative stress and 6:43 even help reduce oxidative stress and 6:43 even help reduce oxidative stress and improve ATP efficiency, which is our 6:46 improve ATP efficiency, which is our 6:46 improve ATP efficiency, which is our energy in our cells. When your 6:47 energy in our cells. When your 6:47 energy in our cells. When your mitochondria produce ATP more 6:50 mitochondria produce ATP more 6:50 mitochondria produce ATP more efficiently, you feel different. You 6:52 efficiently, you feel different. You 6:52 efficiently, you feel different. You feel better. You have more energy. This 6:55 feel better. You have more energy. This 6:55 feel better. You have more energy. This is my top consideration for patients 6:57 is my top consideration for patients 6:57 is my top consideration for patients with chronic unexplained fatigue. Then 6:59 with chronic unexplained fatigue. Then 6:59 with chronic unexplained fatigue. Then there's also MOTS-c. This is sometimes 7:02 there's also MOTS-c. This is sometimes 7:02 there's also MOTS-c. This is sometimes described as an exercise mimetic. It 7:06 described as an exercise mimetic. It 7:06 described as an exercise mimetic. It activates some of the same metabolic 7:08 activates some of the same metabolic 7:08 activates some of the same metabolic pathways as exercise does. It's being 7:11 pathways as exercise does.

It's being studied for its potential in improving 7:13 studied for its potential in improving 7:13 studied for its potential in improving insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. 7:16 insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. 7:16 insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. For people who have plateaued in weight 7:17 For people who have plateaued in weight 7:17 For people who have plateaued in weight loss despite doing everything right, 7:20 loss despite doing everything right, 7:20 loss despite doing everything right, MOTS-c is part of that conversation. For 7:22 MOTS-c is part of that conversation. For 7:22 MOTS-c is part of that conversation. For patients whose primary goal is 7:24 patients whose primary goal is 7:24 patients whose primary goal is aggressive fat loss with energy support, 7:27 aggressive fat loss with energy support, 7:27 aggressive fat loss with energy support, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, and MOTS-c 7:30 tesamorelin, ipamorelin, and MOTS-c 7:31 tesamorelin, ipamorelin, and MOTS-c together. This combination targets fat 7:34 together. This combination targets fat 7:34 together. This combination targets fat oxidation from multiple angles while 7:36 oxidation from multiple angles while 7:36 oxidation from multiple angles while supporting energy levels. You're also 7:38 supporting energy levels. You're also 7:38 supporting energy levels. You're also addressing that visceral fat, growth 7:41 addressing that visceral fat, growth 7:41 addressing that visceral fat, growth hormone, and the mitochondrial 7:43 hormone, and the mitochondrial 7:43 hormone, and the mitochondrial efficiency all at once. In my week four 7:46 efficiency all at once. In my week four 7:46 efficiency all at once. In my week four peptide series, I mentioned a fatigue 7:48 peptide series, I mentioned a fatigue 7:48 peptide series, I mentioned a fatigue patient story where she just didn't need 7:51 patient story where she just didn't need 7:51 patient story where she just didn't need another cup of coffee. She said she 7:54 another cup of coffee. She said she 7:54 another cup of coffee. She said she needed someone to really actually just 7:56 needed someone to really actually just 7:56 needed someone to really actually just look at what was going on, why she was 7:57 look at what was going on, why she was 7:57 look at what was going on, why she was so fatigued. And the fourth category 8:00 so fatigued. And the fourth category 8:00 so fatigued. And the fourth category that I went into is called 8:01 that I went into is called 8:01 that I went into is called neuropeptides. These are the peptides 8:03 neuropeptides. These are the peptides 8:03 neuropeptides. These are the peptides that can cross that blood-brain barrier, 8:05 that can cross that blood-brain barrier, 8:05 that can cross that blood-brain barrier, support cognitive function, and focus, 8:08 support cognitive function, and focus, 8:08 support cognitive function, and focus, and be neuroprotective. One is called 8:11 and be neuroprotective. One is called 8:11 and be neuroprotective. One is called C-Max. It's a synthetic peptide based on 8:14 C-Max. It's a synthetic peptide based on 8:14 C-Max.

It's also a nasal spray. The 8:57 regulation. It's also a nasal spray. The 8:57 regulation. It's also a nasal spray. The two are often discussed together because 8:59 two are often discussed together because 8:59 two are often discussed together because they complement different aspects for 9:01 they complement different aspects for 9:01 they complement different aspects for brain health. I discuss both of these in 9:04 brain health. I discuss both of these in 9:04 brain health. I discuss both of these in the context of my Bredesen certified 9:06 the context of my Bredesen certified 9:06 the context of my Bredesen certified protocol, the ReCODE approach for 9:09 protocol, the ReCODE approach for 9:09 protocol, the ReCODE approach for cognitive decline. The important thing 9:11 cognitive decline. The important thing 9:11 cognitive decline. The important thing to understand is that brain fog, memory 9:14 to understand is that brain fog, memory 9:14 to understand is that brain fog, memory issues, and cognitive decline are not 9:17 issues, and cognitive decline are not 9:17 issues, and cognitive decline are not inevitable. They're signals. These 9:19 inevitable. They're signals. These 9:19 inevitable. They're signals. These peptides are part of a broader 9:21 peptides are part of a broader 9:21 peptides are part of a broader conversation about protecting your 9:23 conversation about protecting your 9:23 conversation about protecting your brain, not just accepting the decline. 9:25 brain, not just accepting the decline. 9:25 brain, not just accepting the decline. And I also have to include gut repair 9:27 And I also have to include gut repair 9:27 And I also have to include gut repair because if you've been following my 9:29 because if you've been following my 9:29 because if you've been following my channel, that gut health runs through 9:31 channel, that gut health runs through 9:31 channel, that gut health runs through almost everything I do. For gut repair, 9:34 almost everything I do. For gut repair, 9:34 almost everything I do. For gut repair, the combination I discuss most 9:36 the combination I discuss most 9:36 the combination I discuss most frequently is BPC 157 with the KPV and 9:40 frequently is BPC 157 with the KPV and 9:40 frequently is BPC 157 with the KPV and maybe PEA and the GHK-Cu. 9:43 maybe PEA and the GHK-Cu. 9:43 maybe PEA and the GHK-Cu. BPC 157 supports the gut lining repair. 9:47 BPC 157 supports the gut lining repair. 9:47 BPC 157 supports the gut lining repair. Remember it's a naturally connected to 9:49 Remember it's a naturally connected to 9:49 Remember it's a naturally connected to those gastric proteins. KPV is an 9:52 those gastric proteins. KPV is an 9:52 those gastric proteins.

Essential Rules for Safe Peptide Use 10:50 which peptides I use or that are 10:50 which peptides I use or that are stacked, and what are appropriate for 10:52 stacked, and what are appropriate for 10:53 stacked, and what are appropriate for given patients, there are rules that 10:55 given patients, there are rules that 10:55 given patients, there are rules that apply across the board, and these really 10:58 apply across the board, and these really 10:58 apply across the board, and these really matter. And timing really matters. 11:01 matter. And timing really matters. 11:01 matter. And timing really matters. Growth hormone peptides are most 11:03 Growth hormone peptides are most 11:03 Growth hormone peptides are most effective when administered before bed 11:05 effective when administered before bed 11:05 effective when administered before bed on an empty stomach. 11:07 on an empty stomach. 11:07 on an empty stomach. You're aligning your body's natural 11:09 You're aligning your body's natural 11:09 You're aligning your body's natural circadian growth hormone release and 11:11 circadian growth hormone release and 11:11 circadian growth hormone release and working with your biology, not against 11:14 working with your biology, not against 11:14 working with your biology, not against it. And cycling matters. Most protocols 11:17 it. And cycling matters. Most protocols 11:17 it. And cycling matters. Most protocols involve cycling, which means five days 11:19 involve cycling, which means five days 11:19 involve cycling, which means five days on, two days off, or three months on 11:23 on, two days off, or three months on 11:23 on, two days off, or three months on followed by a break, 11:25 followed by a break, 11:25 followed by a break, like one month off, to maintain that 11:27 like one month off, to maintain that 11:27 like one month off, to maintain that receptor sensitivity. Because your body 11:30 receptor sensitivity. Because your body 11:30 receptor sensitivity. Because your body will start adapting, and if you never 11:31 will start adapting, and if you never 11:31 will start adapting, and if you never take a break from it, the signal weakens 11:34 take a break from it, the signal weakens 11:34 take a break from it, the signal weakens over time.
