The Emerging Science and Clinical Application of Peptide Therapy

Thursday, Feb  19
12:00 - 1:00 PM

Many patients are asking about and using peptides beyond those that are FDA approved, such as the GLP-1 receptor agonists. In this Osher Grand Rounds presentation, former chair of the American Board of Integrative Medicine and Executive Medical Director of WndrHLTH longevity labs will provide an overview of peptides, focusing on those most commonly being used for patients in order to attempt to optimize performance, immune, healing and longevity.

Learning objectives:

  1. Understand what constitutes a peptide
  2. Recognize the limitations of the research in clinical applications of peptides used for longevity and overall performance.
  3. Understand the purported benefits and risks of the most commonly used peptides and how they are used.
