Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Peptide Questions

October 24, 2024

Addresses common questions about peptides, GLP-1s, and growth hormones, highlighting their powerful effects on the body’s metabolism. Peptides function similarly to hormones by acting as metabolic command codes, and understanding their biochemical impacts is crucial. Misuse or misunderstanding of these substances can lead to adverse effects, particularly with GLP-1 peptides like Ozempic and Semaglutide, which influence sugar absorption and protein requirements, potentially causing muscle loss.


Key topics include gluconeogenesis, the balance of good versus bad chemicals in the body, and the need for proper nutrient support, especially for liver function and ATP production. Peptides can aid in muscle growth, healing, and anti-aging when used correctly, but improper dosing may lead to unwanted growth in areas like the jaw or intestines. Seeking professional guidance is recommended to align peptide use with individual health goals.
