Exploring Peptides to Boost Immunity and the Microbiome With Awais Spall

The human body has over 3,000 peptides that support different biochemical processes. Scientists have also discovered over 6,000 peptides in plants that are fit for human use.

What are peptides and which ones are right for you?

Awais Spall, a functional medicine practitioner, joins the show today to discuss the top 10 peptides he uses in his practice and their health benefits. He also shares his experience of how peptides quickly recovered his shoulder injury after everything else failed.

That experience led Awais to explore peptides, adding to his expertise in microbiome medicine and Ayurvedic interventions. Today, he shares the best ways to use peptides to regulate the immune system and improve the gut. He also recommends specific peptides for bodybuilding, skin health, a speedy recovery after surgery or infection, ADHD, and brain functions.
