Peptides are everywhere in today’s wellness conversations—but what are they really, and how do they actually work in the body?

In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May demystifies peptides by cutting through the noise, misinformation, and overhyped claims. Rather than presenting peptides as a quick fix or biohacking trend, this conversation reframes them as what they truly are: intelligent cellular messengers that support communication within the body.

This episode explores how peptides function within biology, why they’ve become so misunderstood, and how they can be used thoughtfully and ethically within a holistic healing framework. You’ll learn the difference between forcing change versus supporting the body’s innate intelligence—and why healing is about signaling, not fixing.

If you’ve been curious about peptides but overwhelmed by conflicting information, this episode offers clarity, context, and grounded insight.

In this powerful episode of Light Body Radio, we explore what’s possible when persistence meets emerging neuroscience. Diagnosed with stage three Parkinson’s and facing early cognitive decline, today’s guest refused to accept a predetermined outcome—and instead began a deep investigation into neuroprotection, brain cell health, and the body’s innate capacity for recovery.

This conversation unpacks the science behind neurological resilience, including glial cell support, glymphatic system function, and cutting-edge research that challenges the belief that neurodegeneration is always progressive. It’s an inspiring and informative discussion for anyone navigating neurological conditions, brain health concerns, or seeking hope beyond conventional prognoses.

This conversation invites listeners into a deeper understanding of identity-level healing, emotional clarity, and energetic alignment. Together, we unpack what it truly means to release what no longer serves you and return to your authentic self—grounded, aware, and empowered from the inside out.

Activating Your 2026 Light Code: Creating the Year from Coherence

Welcome to the first Wellness Illuminated episode of 2026. This is not a conversation about resolutions, hustling harder, or fixing yourself because the calendar changed. Instead, Dr. Lara May invites you into a threshold moment—an intentional activation of the energetic architecture of your year.

In this episode, we explore why so many New Year intentions collapse by February and how a dysregulated nervous system quietly sabotages long-term healing, vision, and momentum. From a functional medicine and nervous-system–informed perspective, you’ll learn why creation follows your state of being, not just your goals.

This episode introduces the concept of your 2026 Light Code—the frequency, identity, and internal coherence that will organize your year from the inside out. Rather than asking “What do I want to accomplish?”, you’ll be guided to a far more powerful question: What state am I creating from?

This is an invitation to begin 2026 grounded, regulated, and aligned—so your year unfolds from coherence, not survival.

As the year comes to a close, many of us feel a mix of relief, exhaustion, reflection, and quiet grief—all at once. In this Wellness Illuminated episode, Dr. Lara May invites you into a grounding conversation about completion and why true healing and renewal cannot happen without it.

Burnout is often blamed on doing too much, but what if it actually comes from what was never fully finished—unresolved stress, unprocessed emotions, postponed grief, or seasons of life you’ve outgrown but haven’t released? From a functional medicine and nervous system perspective, unfinished experiences keep the body stuck in survival mode, quietly draining your energy.

In this episode, Dr. Lara May explores the science and energetics of completion and guides you through a sacred pause designed to help clear burnout residue from your nervous system, physiology, and energy field—so you don’t unconsciously carry it into the new year.

This is not about resolutions or rushing ahead. It’s about honoring what has been, so you can move forward with clarity, steadiness, and integrity.

Microdosing is emerging as a powerful bridge between science, consciousness, and healing—and this episode explores why. In Microdosing for Healing: A Conscious Path to Transformation, we dive into how intentional, sub-perceptual dosing can support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, neurological healing, and deep personal growth.

This conversation explores microdosing not as a trend, but as a carefully guided healing modality rooted in education, safety, and embodiment. From unexpected health breakthroughs to the role of ceremony, integration, and self-awareness, this episode invites listeners to reconsider what true healing can look like when small doses create profound shifts.
