Peptides, GLP1 and HRT all your questions answered by Dr. Warren Willey
Today on live with my personal functional practioner, Dr. Willey we talked about peptides, hormone replacement and GLP1. I took a lot of your messages and asked the doctor himself his thoughts. Here is a quick summary of our talk.

Summary of our LIVE:
When it comes to Hormone Replacement. Give at least 90 days before you decide to come off of it. Talk to your dr first. Most of the time, doses need to be tweaked or even a different method given
Dr. Willey would never give just estrogen, or testerone alone. All hormones work together
GLP1 is 30% more effective when on HRT
Peptides:
Peptides have been around for years and are NOT a fad. Insulin was the first peptide discovered back in 1965. 65 peptides are FDA approved, 7,000 peptides and 500 are medical grade peptides
Peptides are “keys” to unlocking cells in the body and are naturally found in the body.
You can use multiple peptides at once and peptides work more effectively when on Hormone Replacement Therapy
BPC-157 with TB500 is most effective for joint pain. BPC157 in pill form is great for gut health
Injectable peptides are much more efficient than oral as they bypass the digestive system and liver
Hardly any risks with peptides. Biggest risk could be irritation at injection site or allergic reaction to the metal of the syringe
Peptides can be cycled and in cases like GLP1 you can come off completely or stay on a maintence dose. Certain peptides you can stay on indefinitely
BPC-157/TB5500 + GHKcu are the best peptides together for youthful skin and gut health
GLP1 when used correctly can help with inflammation, brain and weight loss. The side effects you hear about it are from people doing diabetic doses as well as not being monitored correctly
Make sure to use a reputable source when it comes to peptides and a 503A compounding pharmacy
Peptides for anxiety: DHHB (oral and over the counter) and SEMAX and SELANK
Unfortunately, peptides are out of pocket and not covered by insurance. Lots of theories on this one, but taking care of your health now (and peptides have been known to heal a lot of disease states) can save you money when you get older.
