Peptides 101: Unlock Optimized Gut, Brain and Recovery | Kyal Van Der Leest of LVLUP

They might follow the extreme thing of, I want to live forever, but then find their happy medium point, sort of like what I did when I started. My extremity came from desperation. I tried everything biohacking on myself before using it on my mum to try and help her with her cancer.

And what worked for me and didn't ruin my health or take from it, I'd have her do, like the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the red light therapy, all the mitochondrial enhancing and supportive supplements, all the B vitamins, using every type of B vitamin to see which form resonated better with my body, which form worked. Folic acid, no. B6, HCL, no. Those ones ruined me.

But the correct bioidentical forms, I had to learn the hard way. I didn't have to, but I did learn the hard way about you know, naturopathic medicine, nutritional medicine does still have its risks and it does still have potential problems for people if they don't use it appropriately or use it too long. For example, like you can get vitamin A toxicity and all these other things.

Yeah, I definitely am very happy to see the future of medicine is looking a lot more naturopathic. So let's hope the momentum keeps going. And podcasts have been fantastic for that, too. So keep doing what you're doing with your show, Tina.

Oral or injectable, it also depends on the pharmacokinetics. Where do you want the peptide to go? If you have a disc injury in your wrist, for example, or a broken finger, injectable BPC every day of the week versus oral. The challenge with oral peptides is they do need to get into circulation, which... Really, it depends which peptide you're using. Some of them, the chain length is just too long.

Insulin is a perfect example. If they had an insulin pill, there would be no diabetics injecting themselves or in a pump. It's too large of an amino acid to be absorbed orally. So you have to inject it. Unlike ones like KPV, that's an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory gut peptide. That's three amino acids long. That does not need to be injected.

That can be taken orally, provided it's protected with something like a delayed release capsule. The things that'll break it down are proteolytic enzymes and acid. So the delayed release capsule will get it through the acid.
