From Addiction to Advanced Healing | Peptides, Gut Health & Recovery with Samantha Lander

About this video

Woodward interviews Samantha Lander, a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and DJ, who shares her personal journey from addiction and chronic dental infections to recovery and peptide use. Lander describes how she claims peptides like BPC-157 accelerated her healing from severe tooth infections and implants, and discusses her approach to integrating peptides with functional lab testing for clients dealing with chronic illness, gut issues, and addiction recovery. The conversation covers Lander’s views on testing protocols, the importance of addressing root causes before peptide use, and her perspective on using peptides alongside lifestyle interventions.

Key takeaways

• Lander claims BPC-157 injections dramatically reduced inflammation and accelerated her dental healing, with implants she says healed in half the typical time
• According to Lander, peptides should not be used in isolation—she emphasizes running comprehensive GI panels (including multi-day testing after biofilm protocols) and addressing gut infections, hormone imbalances, and lifestyle factors first
• Lander reports that clients with chronic illness, mast cell activation, or Lyme may react poorly to common peptides and require careful titration, starting with larazotide for gut barrier repair before introducing other peptides
