Peptide & Hormone Therapies for Health, Performance & Longevity | Dr. Craig Koniver

About this video

Huberman hosts Dr. Craig Koniver, a physician trained at Brown and Thomas Jefferson, to discuss performance medicine using peptides and hormone therapies. Dr. Koniver explains that a peptide is a small protein, with insulin as a familiar example, and describes exogenous peptides as tools that can activate pathways in brain and body. They discuss GLP-1 analogues, microdosing approaches Huberman raises, and behavioral practices intended to offset muscle loss, as well as BPC-157, which Huberman describes as used for inflammation and wound healing. They also cover peptides aimed at growth hormone secretion during sleep, testosterone therapy for men and women, NAD, and supplements Dr. Koniver favors such as coenzyme Q10 and methylated B vitamins. Dr. Koniver and Huberman stress safety, clean sourcing, working with a board-certified physician, FDA status, and how off-label and repurposed drug use evolves through clinical experience.
