Peptides for Immunity- Are they worth it?

Well Balanced 360

Overview

Dr. Amber Krogsrud’s peptide research was born from her own health struggles. Like many of her patients, Amber went through a long period of misdiagnosis (and lack of diagnosis), before she discovered the culprit of her gut sensitivity, lethargy, and other symptoms: she had candida overgrowth in her gut. Her treatment? Peptides. In this episode, host Dr. Shivani talks with Amber about these chains of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which signal our bodies to have specific responses -- like improving sleep, building up certain kinds of tissues, and balancing our immune systems.

After her own incredible experience with peptides, Amber got trained in peptide therapy. She has seen peptides change the lives of patients with chronic illness, auto-immune conditions, chronic pain, and more. But peptides can also be used to optimize the body, improving energy, sleep quality, and helping us build muscle.

In the COVID-era, as we all search for ways to improve our immune response, reduce stress, and get deeper, more restful sleep, peptides offer a unique solution that can be customized for individual patient concerns. Check out this episode of the Well Balanced 360 podcast to learn more about peptides, and what they can do for you!

Quotes

• “If we want to age well, if we want to feel well, if we want our brain to be sharp during the day, we need to focus on the night time… and a lot of peptides are taken at night so we can really maximize that window of time where your body is in repair mode.”
