EPISODE 81
We’re back with our friend Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, the award-winning functional medicine MD who champions a nutritional approach to healthcare. We recorded this ep at his eponymous Morrison Center, where they offer a range of treatments and services based on integrative medicine, i.e. treating the whole person to assist innate healing and promote optimal health instead of just fixing a problem.
We’re here today to talk about peptides, that buzzy word that gets thrown around without any true meaning or understanding. Dr. Morrison legit believes peptide therapy is the future of medicine, so we really need to understand what they are! Typical medicines interfere with body processes in order to achieve some result. But peptides work differently because they enhance the way the body is already working. In fact, our bodies already produce peptides, and they signal the body to do something specific. This may sound like hyperbole, but Dr. Morrison explains why the hype around peptides is completely justified.
