You've heard peptides can help with recovery. But when it's your tendon, your surgical scar, or an old injury that never fully healed, the question isn't whether peptides work — it's which one, and why. This is the episode where physiotherapist Mina Kavia and Dr. Mary Pines map the exact peptides your body needs for tendons, ligaments, scarring, and even concussion recovery.

In this episode:

• Peptides for healthy aging, recovery, joint health, and resilience
• How BPC-157 and TB-500 actually help heal tendons, ligaments, muscle and fascia, and prevent nasty scarring
• The peptide KPV to manage inflammation
• How GHK supports connective tissues, like joints and ligaments
• Why Thymosin alpha-1 is used in many countries for immune support (cancer, autoimmunity, infections, etc) and is actually a critically important drug (Zadaxin) with lots of research behind it
• How CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin can support muscle and healing
• What "bioregulator" peptides are and how they can support organ systems
• The critical difference between medications and peptides
• When to avoid using peptides, and why sourcing is so tricky right now
• How peptides fit into Dr. Mary Pines' clinical approach to healing tissue injury
