cautions? How are peptides administered? How can I find a doctor
who is trained in anti-aging or functional medicine?


Dr. Kien Vuu has joined us on the SuperAge podcast twice before

and today he joins us to dive into the topic of peptides, of
which he is an expert. Peptides can help with performance, sexual
health, skin health, hormone balance, gut health, immunity, and
more. How? Dr. Vuu explains the lofty subject of peptides in an
approachable way. He discusses the many benefits of incorporating
peptides into our routines lets us know where to start. 


“A lot of the protein function as well as the peptide function
decrease with age.” 


“There is detriment when you try to push yourself too much. And
as a physician in the anti-aging space, you have to kind of judge
what is safe for the patient and what is not.” 


“It is the habits we have that dictate whether we have optimal
health and the performance we want, or we are in a stress
state.” 


“There are a lot of black market peptides going on right now so
be aware of them.”
