Full Transcript The Truth About Peptide Candidacy 0:02 Over the last 7 weeks, I've broken down 0:02 Over the last 7 weeks, I've broken down peptides for you. What they are, how 0:04 peptides for you. What they are, how 0:05 peptides for you. What they are, how healing peptides like BPC 157 and TB 500 0:08 healing peptides like BPC 157 and TB 500 0:08 healing peptides like BPC 157 and TB 500 can support your tissue repair, what 0:10 can support your tissue repair, what 0:10 can support your tissue repair, what GLP-1s are actually doing to your 0:13 GLP-1s are actually doing to your 0:13 GLP-1s are actually doing to your muscle, why your mitochondria might be 0:15 muscle, why your mitochondria might be 0:15 muscle, why your mitochondria might be the reason you're exhausted, how growth 0:18 the reason you're exhausted, how growth 0:18 the reason you're exhausted, how growth hormone peptides like CJC-1295 0:21 hormone peptides like CJC-1295 0:21 hormone peptides like CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin work to support your 0:23 and Ipamorelin work to support your 0:23 and Ipamorelin work to support your body's own recovery, and last week, how 0:26 body's own recovery, and last week, how 0:26 body's own recovery, and last week, how all of these peptides are actually 0:28 all of these peptides are actually 0:28 all of these peptides are actually combined and stacked in clinical 0:30 combined and stacked in clinical 0:30 combined and stacked in clinical practice. And the number one question 0:32 practice. And the number one question 0:32 practice. And the number one question I've gotten in the comments every single 0:34 I've gotten in the comments every single 0:34 I've gotten in the comments every single week is this, am I a candidate? Today, 0:37 week is this, am I a candidate? Today, 0:37 week is this, am I a candidate? Today, I'm going to answer that. Not a generic 0:39 I'm going to answer that. Not a generic 0:39 I'm going to answer that. Not a generic yes or no, but with the framework I 0:42 yes or no, but with the framework I 0:42 yes or no, but with the framework I actually use in my practice to determine 0:45 actually use in my practice to determine 0:45 actually use in my practice to determine who benefits from peptide therapy and 0:48 who benefits from peptide therapy and 0:48 who benefits from peptide therapy and who doesn't. And more importantly, who 0:50 who doesn't. And more importantly, who 0:50 who doesn't. And more importantly, who should never start peptides without 0:52 should never start peptides without 0:52 should never start peptides without addressing something else first. I'm Dr. 0:55 addressing something else first. I'm Dr. 0:55 addressing something else first. I'm Dr. Myra Reed, a functional and internal 0:57 Myra Reed, a functional and internal 0:57 Myra Reed, a functional and internal medicine specialist with over 35 years 1:00 medicine specialist with over 35 years 1:00 medicine specialist with over 35 years of experience. I practice early 1:02 of experience. I practice early 1:02 of experience. I practice early detection longevity medicine. I help 1:05 detection longevity medicine. I help 1:05 detection longevity medicine. I help people find what others miss before 1:08 people find what others miss before 1:08 people find what others miss before symptoms become disease. Everything I do 1:11 symptoms become disease. Everything I do 1:11 symptoms become disease. Everything I do runs through my four pillars, hormones, 1:14 runs through my four pillars, hormones, 1:15 runs through my four pillars, hormones, gut, 1:16 gut, 1:16 gut, lifestyle, environment. 1:19 lifestyle, environment. 1:19 lifestyle, environment. I'm helping you to live smarter, 1:21 I'm helping you to live smarter, 1:21 I'm helping you to live smarter, stronger, longer. Here's the thing, most 1:24 stronger, longer. Here's the thing, most 1:24 stronger, longer. Here's the thing, most people ask the wrong question about 1:26 people ask the wrong question about 1:26 people ask the wrong question about peptides. They ask, should I take BPC 1:29 peptides. They ask, should I take BPC 1:29 peptides. They ask, should I take BPC 157? Or will Ipamorelin help me lose 1:32 157? Or will Ipamorelin help me lose 1:32 157? Or will Ipamorelin help me lose weight? Or what's the best peptide for 1:35 weight? Or what's the best peptide for 1:35 weight? Or what's the best peptide for energy? And I understand why. You 1:38 energy? And I understand why. You 1:38 energy? And I understand why. You watched a video, you recognize your 1:40 watched a video, you recognize your 1:40 watched a video, you recognize your symptoms, you want a solution, but the 1:43 symptoms, you want a solution, but the 1:43 symptoms, you want a solution, but the right question isn't which peptide I 1:46 right question isn't which peptide I 1:46 right question isn't which peptide I should take. The right question is, what 1:49 should take. The right question is, what 1:49 should take. The right question is, what is my body actually telling me and what 1:52 is my body actually telling me and what 1:52 is my body actually telling me and what does it need? Because a peptide without 1:55 does it need? Because a peptide without 1:55 does it need? Because a peptide without context is just a shot in the dark, and 1:57 context is just a shot in the dark, and 1:57 context is just a shot in the dark, and I don't practice medicine that way. 2:00 I don't practice medicine that way. 2:00 I don't practice medicine that way. In my practice, I never just start with 2:02 In my practice, I never just start with 2:02 In my practice, I never just start with a peptide. I start with the full
The Four Pillars of Health 2:04 a peptide. I start with the full 2:05 a peptide. I start with the full picture, and that full picture runs 2:07 picture, and that full picture runs 2:07 picture, and that full picture runs through four pillars. 2:09 through four pillars. 2:09 through four pillars. Hormones, 2:10 Hormones, 2:10 Hormones, gut, 2:12 gut, 2:12 gut, lifestyle, and environment. Until I 2:14 lifestyle, and environment. Until I 2:14 lifestyle, and environment. Until I understand what's really happening 2:16 understand what's really happening 2:16 understand what's really happening across all four of those, I can't tell 2:19 across all four of those, I can't tell 2:19 across all four of those, I can't tell you whether a peptide is right is the 2:20 you whether a peptide is right is the 2:20 you whether a peptide is right is the right tool, or whether something else 2:23 right tool, or whether something else 2:23 right tool, or whether something else needs to be addressed first. So, let me 2:25 needs to be addressed first. So, let me 2:25 needs to be addressed first. So, let me walk you through what I actually look at 2:27 walk you through what I actually look at 2:27 walk you through what I actually look at before I ever consider a peptide for a 2:29 before I ever consider a peptide for a 2:30 before I ever consider a peptide for a patient. Pillar one, hormones. Such 2:33 patient. Pillar one, hormones. Such 2:33 patient. Pillar one, hormones. Such testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, 2:37 testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, 2:37 testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, 2:41 DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, 2:41 DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, insulin. I don't look just at the total 2:43 insulin. I don't look just at the total 2:43 insulin. I don't look just at the total levels, I look at the free levels, the 2:46 levels, I look at the free levels, the 2:46 levels, I look at the free levels, the ratios, how they're working together, 2:48 ratios, how they're working together, 2:48 ratios, how they're working together, because a testosterone number without 2:51 because a testosterone number without 2:51 because a testosterone number without context is just a number. I need to see 2:54 context is just a number. I need to see 2:54 context is just a number. I need to see the full hormonal picture along with 2:57 the full hormonal picture along with 2:57 the full hormonal picture along with what's going on with the patient. Pillar 2:59 what's going on with the patient. Pillar 2:59 what's going on with the patient. Pillar two is the gut health. This is something 3:02 two is the gut health. This is something 3:02 two is the gut health. This is something most people prescribers, they really 3:04 most people prescribers, they really 3:04 most people prescribers, they really never look at. But, if your gut is 3:06 never look at. But, if your gut is 3:06 never look at. But, if your gut is inflamed, if you have leaky gut, if your 3:09 inflamed, if you have leaky gut, if your 3:09 inflamed, if you have leaky gut, if your microbiome is all disrupted, your body's 3:12 microbiome is all disrupted, your body's 3:12 microbiome is all disrupted, your body's in a state of chronic immune activation. 3:15 in a state of chronic immune activation. 3:15 in a state of chronic immune activation. And adding a growth promoting peptide to 3:17 And adding a growth promoting peptide to 3:18 And adding a growth promoting peptide to an inflamed system is like putting 3:20 an inflamed system is like putting 3:20 an inflamed system is like putting premium gas in a car with a cracked 3:22 premium gas in a car with a cracked 3:22 premium gas in a car with a cracked engine block. In other words, the fuel 3:24 engine block. In other words, the fuel 3:24 engine block. In other words, the fuel isn't the problem. And pillar three, 3:26 isn't the problem. And pillar three, 3:27 isn't the problem. And pillar three, lifestyle. I evaluate sleep, your 3:30 lifestyle. I evaluate sleep, your 3:30 lifestyle. I evaluate sleep, your protein intake, what's your diet 3:32 protein intake, what's your diet 3:32 protein intake, what's your diet choices, are you doing resistance 3:34 choices, are you doing resistance 3:34 choices, are you doing resistance training, what's your stress management 3:36 training, what's your stress management 3:36 training, what's your stress management look like, how are you moving? I cannot 3:39 look like, how are you moving? I cannot 3:39 look like, how are you moving? I cannot tell you how many patients come to me 3:41 tell you how many patients come to me 3:41 tell you how many patients come to me wanting peptides when the real issue is 3:44 wanting peptides when the real issue is 3:44 wanting peptides when the real issue is they're sleeping only 5 hours a night, 3:46 they're sleeping only 5 hours a night, 3:46 they're sleeping only 5 hours a night, eating maybe 40 g of protein a day, and 3:49 eating maybe 40 g of protein a day, and 3:49 eating maybe 40 g of protein a day, and haven't lifted a any weights in years. 3:52 haven't lifted a any weights in years. 3:52 haven't lifted a any weights in years. Peptides won't override these gaps. 3:54 Peptides won't override these gaps. 3:55 Peptides won't override these gaps. They're designed to enhance a system 3:57 They're designed to enhance a system 3:57 They're designed to enhance a system that's already functioning, not replace 4:00 that's already functioning, not replace 4:00 that's already functioning, not replace the basics. Number four pillar is 4:02 the basics. Number four pillar is 4:02 the basics. Number four pillar is environment. 4:04 environment. 4:04 environment. Toxin exposure, water damaged building 4:06 Toxin exposure, water damaged building 4:07 Toxin exposure, water damaged building mold, heavy metals, endocrine 4:09 mold, heavy metals, endocrine 4:09 mold, heavy metals, endocrine disruptors. If your body's dealing with 4:11 disruptors. If your body's dealing with 4:11 disruptors. If your body's dealing with a toxic burden, that needs to be 4:13 a toxic burden, that needs to be 4:13 a toxic burden, that needs to be addressed first. Otherwise, you're 4:16 addressed first. Otherwise, you're 4:16 addressed first. Otherwise, you're trying to build an unstable foundation 4:18 trying to build an unstable foundation 4:18 trying to build an unstable foundation that's actually being undermined. Only 4:20 that's actually being undermined. Only 4:21 that's actually being undermined. Only when I understand all four of these that 4:23 when I understand all four of these that 4:23 when I understand all four of these that I can really make an informed 4:24 I can really make an informed 4:24 I can really make an informed recommendation about whether a peptide 4:27 recommendation about whether a peptide 4:27 recommendation about whether a peptide is the right step for you. 4:29 is the right step for you. 4:29 is the right step for you. And sometimes it is. But sometimes the 4:32 And sometimes it is. But sometimes the 4:32 And sometimes it is. But sometimes the answer is we need to fix your sleep 4:34 answer is we need to fix your sleep 4:34 answer is we need to fix your sleep first, or your gut first, or your 4:37 first, or your gut first, or your 4:37 first, or your gut first, or your hormones first. Find where this 4:39 hormones first. Find where this 4:39 hormones first. Find where this inflammation started. Get to the root 4:41 inflammation started. Get to the root 4:41 inflammation started. Get to the root cause first. That's the better answer 4:44 cause first. That's the better answer 4:45 cause first. That's the better answer than just putting peptides on top 4:47 than just putting peptides on top 4:47 than just putting peptides on top without knowing what's going on
Identifying the Ideal Candidate 4:49 without knowing what's going on 4:49 without knowing what's going on underneath. So, who after all of that 4:51 underneath. So, who after all of that 4:51 underneath. So, who after all of that evaluation ends up being a good 4:53 evaluation ends up being a good 4:53 evaluation ends up being a good candidate for peptide support? 4:55 candidate for peptide support? 4:55 candidate for peptide support? Generally is someone who's done the 4:57 Generally is someone who's done the 4:57 Generally is someone who's done the foundational work or is actively doing 5:00 foundational work or is actively doing 5:00 foundational work or is actively doing it and has hit a wall. The person with 5:02 it and has hit a wall. The person with 5:02 it and has hit a wall. The person with the chronic pain or injury that just 5:04 the chronic pain or injury that just 5:04 the chronic pain or injury that just isn't healing. They've done the physical 5:06 isn't healing. They've done the physical 5:06 isn't healing. They've done the physical therapy. They've addressed the 5:08 therapy. They've addressed the 5:08 therapy. They've addressed the inflammation. The tissue is just not 5:11 inflammation. The tissue is just not 5:11 inflammation. The tissue is just not repairing. That's where the healing 5:13 repairing. That's where the healing 5:13 repairing. That's where the healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 might 5:16 peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 might 5:16 peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 might be appropriate. We talked about that in 5:19 be appropriate. We talked about that in 5:19 be appropriate. We talked about that in week two with Sarah's story. The person 5:21 week two with Sarah's story. The person 5:21 week two with Sarah's story. The person on the GLP-1 who's losing muscle along 5:24 on the GLP-1 who's losing muscle along 5:24 on the GLP-1 who's losing muscle along with fat. They're eating adequate 5:26 with fat. They're eating adequate 5:26 with fat. They're eating adequate protein. They're training and they're 5:28 protein. They're training and they're 5:28 protein. They're training and they're still losing lean mass. What about the 5:31 still losing lean mass. What about the 5:31 still losing lean mass. What about the growth hormone secretagogues like 5:33 growth hormone secretagogues like 5:33 growth hormone secretagogues like CJC-1295 5:35 CJC-1295 5:35 CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin? They may help support 5:37 and Ipamorelin? They may help support 5:37 and Ipamorelin? They may help support body composition during that process. 5:39 body composition during that process. 5:39 body composition during that process. That was in week three when we talked 5:41 That was in week three when we talked 5:41 That was in week three when we talked about Diana's story. The person with the 5:43 about Diana's story. The person with the 5:43 about Diana's story. The person with the unexplained fatigue despite optimized 5:46 unexplained fatigue despite optimized 5:46 unexplained fatigue despite optimized labs. Sleep is addressed, hormones are 5:49 labs. Sleep is addressed, hormones are 5:49 labs. Sleep is addressed, hormones are managed, thyroid is fine, they're still 5:52 managed, thyroid is fine, they're still 5:52 managed, thyroid is fine, they're still exhausted. Mitochondrial peptides like 5:55 exhausted. Mitochondrial peptides like 5:55 exhausted. Mitochondrial peptides like MOTS-c and SS-31 are being discussed for 5:58 MOTS-c and SS-31 are being discussed for 5:58 MOTS-c and SS-31 are being discussed for exactly that situation in week four. The 6:00 exactly that situation in week four. The 6:00 exactly that situation in week four. The person experiencing cognitive decline 6:03 person experiencing cognitive decline 6:03 person experiencing cognitive decline that conventional workups haven't 6:04 that conventional workups haven't 6:04 that conventional workups haven't explained or brain fog or memory issues 6:08 explained or brain fog or memory issues 6:08 explained or brain fog or memory issues or focus problems.

I discuss this alongside with my 6:18 I discuss this alongside with my 6:18 I discuss this alongside with my Bredesen certification in week five. The 6:21 Bredesen certification in week five. The 6:21 Bredesen certification in week five. The person whose recovery has plateaued, 6:23 person whose recovery has plateaued, 6:23 person whose recovery has plateaued, body composition is shifting despite 6:26 body composition is shifting despite 6:26 body composition is shifting despite everything that they're doing is right. 6:28 everything that they're doing is right. 6:28 everything that they're doing is right. Sleep isn't restorative even when it's 6:30 Sleep isn't restorative even when it's 6:30 Sleep isn't restorative even when it's optimized. Growth hormone support 6:33 optimized. Growth hormone support 6:33 optimized. Growth hormone support through CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin stacks 6:36 through CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin stacks 6:36 through CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin stacks administered at bedtime to align with 6:38 administered at bedtime to align with 6:38 administered at bedtime to align with natural circadian growth hormone release 6:41 natural circadian growth hormone release 6:41 natural circadian growth hormone release may be appropriate. Notice the pattern? 6:44 may be appropriate. Notice the pattern? 6:44 may be appropriate. Notice the pattern? Every single one of these candidates has 6:46 Every single one of these candidates has 6:46 Every single one of these candidates has already addressed the foundations, the 6:48 already addressed the foundations, the 6:48 already addressed the foundations, the peptide isn't the first step, it's the
Who Should Avoid Peptide Therapy 6:51 peptide isn't the first step, it's the 6:51 peptide isn't the first step, it's the next step. And just as important, who is 6:54 next step. And just as important, who is 6:54 next step. And just as important, who is not a candidate? Well, anyone with 6:57 not a candidate? Well, anyone with 6:57 not a candidate? Well, anyone with active cancer or a history of certain 6:59 active cancer or a history of certain 6:59 active cancer or a history of certain types of cancers because growth hormone 7:01 types of cancers because growth hormone 7:01 types of cancers because growth hormone peptides stimulate that growth hormone 7:03 peptides stimulate that growth hormone 7:03 peptides stimulate that growth hormone pathway and they are generally 7:05 pathway and they are generally 7:06 pathway and they are generally contraindicated in patients with active 7:08 contraindicated in patients with active 7:08 contraindicated in patients with active malignancies or pre-existing tumors. 7:11 malignancies or pre-existing tumors. 7:11 malignancies or pre-existing tumors. You must screen for cancer risk before 7:13 You must screen for cancer risk before 7:13 You must screen for cancer risk before starting any growth hormone support. 7:15 starting any growth hormone support. 7:15 starting any growth hormone support. This is non-negotiable. Anyone with 7:17 This is non-negotiable. Anyone with 7:17 This is non-negotiable. Anyone with uncontrolled diabetes, growth hormone 7:20 uncontrolled diabetes, growth hormone 7:20 uncontrolled diabetes, growth hormone can affect the insulin sensitivity. If 7:23 can affect the insulin sensitivity. If 7:23 can affect the insulin sensitivity. If blood sugar isn't well managed, these 7:25 blood sugar isn't well managed, these 7:25 blood sugar isn't well managed, these peptides can actually complicate the 7:27 peptides can actually complicate the 7:27 peptides can actually complicate the picture. Anyone who hasn't addressed the 7:30 picture. Anyone who hasn't addressed the 7:30 picture. Anyone who hasn't addressed the foundations, and I say this with care, 7:32 foundations, and I say this with care, 7:32 foundations, and I say this with care, not judgement, if you're just sleeping 4 7:35 not judgement, if you're just sleeping 4 7:35 not judgement, if you're just sleeping 4 hours a night, eating poorly, not moving 7:38 hours a night, eating poorly, not moving 7:38 hours a night, eating poorly, not moving your body, not dealing with chronic 7:40 your body, not dealing with chronic 7:40 your body, not dealing with chronic stress, or drinking too much, a peptide 7:44 stress, or drinking too much, a peptide 7:44 stress, or drinking too much, a peptide is not your answer right now. Your 7:46 is not your answer right now. Your 7:46 is not your answer right now. Your answer is this foundational work, and 7:49 answer is this foundational work, and 7:49 answer is this foundational work, and once that's in place, then you can 7:51 once that's in place, then you can 7:51 once that's in place, then you can revisit this. 7:53 revisit this. 7:53 revisit this. Anyone self-prescribing from the 7:55 Anyone self-prescribing from the 7:55 Anyone self-prescribing from the internet, I need to say this clearly. 7:58 internet, I need to say this clearly. 7:58 internet, I need to say this clearly. Peptides purchased online without 8:01 Peptides purchased online without 8:01 Peptides purchased online without medical supervision are not regulated, 8:04 medical supervision are not regulated, 8:04 medical supervision are not regulated, not tested, and not safe. You don't even 8:07 not tested, and not safe. You don't even 8:08 not tested, and not safe. You don't even know what's in them. You don't know what 8:09 know what's in them. You don't know what 8:09 know what's in them. You don't know what the dosing really should be, and you 8:11 the dosing really should be, and you 8:11 the dosing really should be, and you don't have that monitoring. I have seen 8:14 don't have that monitoring. I have seen 8:14 don't have that monitoring. I have seen this in patients come to me with 8:15 this in patients come to me with 8:15 this in patients come to me with complications from self-prescribed 8:17 complications from self-prescribed 8:17 complications from self-prescribed peptides, and it's preventable. Cuz that 8:20 peptides, and it's preventable. Cuz that 8:20 peptides, and it's preventable. Cuz that stuff is scary. Don't let your first 8:23 stuff is scary. Don't let your first 8:23 stuff is scary. Don't let your first symptom be your last, and don't let the 8:24 symptom be your last, and don't let the 8:24 symptom be your last, and don't let the wrong provider or no provider at all be 8:28 wrong provider or no provider at all be 8:28 wrong provider or no provider at all be your at your starting point. So, what 8:30 your at your starting point. So, what 8:30 your at your starting point. So, what does this process actually look like in 8:32 does this process actually look like in 8:32 does this process actually look like in my practice? It starts with a 8:34 my practice? It starts with a 8:34 my practice? It starts with a comprehensive evaluation, not a 8:36 comprehensive evaluation, not a 8:36 comprehensive evaluation, not a 15-minute appointment where someone 8:38 15-minute appointment where someone 8:38 15-minute appointment where someone looks at one lab value and writes a 8:40 looks at one lab value and writes a 8:40 looks at one lab value and writes a prescription. A real evaluation. I look 8:43 prescription. A real evaluation. I look 8:43 prescription. A real evaluation. I look at hormones, not just the total levels, 8:45 at hormones, not just the total levels, 8:45 at hormones, not just the total levels, but the free levels and the ratios, and 8:48 but the free levels and the ratios, and 8:48 but the free levels and the ratios, and how they all interact. I look at gut 8:51 how they all interact. I look at gut 8:51 how they all interact. I look at gut health, inflammation markers, metabolic 8:54 health, inflammation markers, metabolic 8:54 health, inflammation markers, metabolic function, nutrient status. I look at 8:57 function, nutrient status. I look at 8:57 function, nutrient status. I look at body composition through my InBody. I 9:00 body composition through my InBody. I 9:00 body composition through my InBody. I look at lifestyle, sleep, protein 9:03 look at lifestyle, sleep, protein 9:03 look at lifestyle, sleep, protein intake, diet, hydration, training, 9:07 intake, diet, hydration, training, 9:07 intake, diet, hydration, training, stress. I look at environmental 9:09 stress. I look at environmental 9:09 stress. I look at environmental exposures. And then, only then, do I 9:13 exposures. And then, only then, do I 9:13 exposures. And then, only then, do I determine whether a peptide is the right 9:15 determine whether a peptide is the right 9:16 determine whether a peptide is the right tool for that specific person at that 9:18 tool for that specific person at that 9:18 tool for that specific person at that specific time, for that specific goal. 9:21 specific time, for that specific goal. 9:21 specific time, for that specific goal. Sometimes the answer is yes, and we 9:23 Sometimes the answer is yes, and we 9:23 Sometimes the answer is yes, and we build the protocol together. Sometimes 9:26 build the protocol together. Sometimes 9:26 build the protocol together. Sometimes the answer is, well, let's fix these 9:28 the answer is, well, let's fix these 9:28 the answer is, well, let's fix these three things first, and then let's 9:30 three things first, and then let's 9:30 three things first, and then let's readdress things in 90 days. Both of 9:33 readdress things in 90 days. Both of 9:33 readdress things in 90 days. Both of those are good answers. Both of those 9:35 those are good answers.
