Peptides are everywhere in the health & performance world—but what are they actually? In this episode, Andrew breaks down what peptides are, why they’ve exploded in popularity, and what research has and hasn't been done.We'll e go deeper on two of the most talked-about peptides: BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) and GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide). We cover what they’re commonly used for (tendon/ligament recovery, wound healing, gut support, skin and hair), the proposed mechanisms (inflammation regulation, nitric oxide support, angiogenesis, collagen/elastin signaling), and circumstances where Andrew would recommend avoiding them (active cancer or a strong cancer concern due to blood vessel growth signaling).If you’ve been hearing peptide hype online and want a grounded overview—this is your starting point.Chapters00:00 Why Peptides Are Trending01:23 What Peptides Are04:10 Recovery and Anti-Aging08:05 Where to Get Peptides13:30 BPC-157 For Gut, Tendons, Ligaments, and Wounds23:10 BPC-157 For Inflammation, Nitric oxide, Angiogenesis, Growth-Hormone Receptors38:40 Andrew’s experience50:30 GHK-Cu For Healing, Antioxidants, Brain, Skin, and HairThe Co-Movement Gym Podcast is supported by Native Path Supplements and Lombardi Chiropractic.🌱 Native Path Supplements: Use code COMO25 at checkout for 25% off any order at NativePath or pick up a bundle of our favorite products at a special price!44% off Native Hydrate: nativehydrate.com/comovement57% off Collagen Peptides: getnativepath.com/comovement41% off Complete Protein: nativepathcompleteprotein.com/comovement🩺 Lombardi Chiropractic: Mention the Co-Movement Gym Podcast when scheduling your initial appointment for 50% off Initial Consultation and X-Rays! https://www.lombardichiropractic.com/🏋️ Co-Movement Gym is a private movement facility in Oriskany Falls, NY offering Individualized Coaching, and Remote Programming to the best humans on the planet.
