Hormone Replacement Therapy: Deep Dive into Peptides
About this video
Dr. Lyon introduces Colleen Johnson, a physician assistant in her practice, who discusses her background in emergency medicine and transition to functional medicine. They explore peptide therapies and hormone replacement protocols that Johnson uses with patients, focusing on injury recovery, body composition, and hormonal optimization. The conversation emphasizes an integrative approach combining traditional medicine with compounds the body naturally produces.
Key takeaways
- Johnson explains that peptides are chains of amino acids the body produces naturally, which she uses therapeutically as an adjunct to healing and optimization protocols
- Dr. Lyon and Johnson discuss BPC-157, which Johnson describes as derived from gastric juices and claims may support healing of tendons, muscle, and intestinal tissue when used alongside regenerative medicine
- Johnson argues that CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin may help facilitate growth hormone production, improve sleep quality, support body composition changes, and enhance recovery time over a 2-3 month commitment
