    Combatting Environmental Toxins With Peptides

    What if your lingering fatigue, brain fog, or pain isn’t ‘just in your head’ but the result of hidden biotoxins disrupting your immune system and energy production? In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Dr. Cory Tichauer unpacks the complex world of biotoxin illness—from mold and heavy metals to chronic infections—and shares how accurate testing, binder strategies, and targeted peptides can restore balance, repair mitochondria, and help you reclaim lasting health. It’s not just mold—it’s mold plus metals, infections, and a body stuck in survival mode. In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Dr. Cory Tichauer joins us to explain that biotoxin illness is rarely just about mold—it’s the combined effect of environmental toxins like pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents, along with hidden infections such as Lyme. For some people, genetic patterns make it harder to clear these toxins, trapping them in a cycle of chronic inflammation that disrupts hormones, damages mitochondria, and fuels symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, pain, and sleep issues. He connects this to the ‘cell danger response,’ where overwhelmed cells shut down energy production and repair in an attempt to protect themselves—leaving patients stuck in survival mode. Dr. Tichauer’s treatment approach follows a seven-step roadmap: remove exposures, stop toxins from recirculating with binders and bile support, and then restore balance step by step. Peptides play a key role in calming inflammation, repairing tissue, and helping the immune and hormonal systems reset—offering patients a path to true recovery when standard medicine falls short. Watch the episode now to learn how to break free from the cycle of toxins and reclaim your health. Dr. Cory Tichauer is a naturopathic physician and founder of Bear Creek Naturopathic Clinic in Medford, Oregon. With a background in neurobiology and medical training focused on integrative and functional care, he has spent almost two decades treating complex chronic conditions. His clinical expertise spans tick-borne infections, mold and biotoxin illness, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegeneration.  A member of both the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society and the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness, Dr. Tichauer is recognized for his systems-based approach, which combines thorough diagnostic workups with targeted therapies to restore immune regulation, mitochondrial health, and neuroendocrine balance. Today, he is recognized for integrating peptides into biotoxin and chronic illness protocols to help patients recover when standard treatments have failed.

    How Hydrogen Gas Affects Peptides

    Can drinking hydrogen water really restore your gut, boost your mitochondria, and slow aging? In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Dr. Paul Barattiero joins us to explain the history of hydrogen water, its medical applications, and current research. We discuss how molecular hydrogen functions as a selective antioxidant and impacts pathways, telomerase, and mitochondria.  Dr. Barattiero emphasizes the importance of gut terrain: after antibiotics and environmental chemicals, restoring the gut’s electrical potential and microbial balance is essential, and dissolved hydrogen may support this process. He suggests mimicking natural gut fermentation by drinking hydrogen water several times per day. He also touches on spacing hydrogen from ozone therapy, field experiences ranging from energy and sleep to vision and reflux anecdotes, and briefly outlines his team’s electromagnetic field solution that depolarizes radiation and lowers signal strength in a defined area. Dr. Paul Barattiero is a leading voice in the field of molecular hydrogen and the founder of Echo Water. His journey began nearly two decades ago when his wife’s chronic illnesses weren’t improving with conventional medicine. After discovering the power of dissolved hydrogen in water, he dove deep into the research and witnessed firsthand the profound impact it had on her health. Inspired by her transformation, he dedicated his career to advancing hydrogen technology and making it accessible for both patients and practitioners. Today, he develops innovative solutions that support gut health, reduce oxidative stress, and even protect against electromagnetic fields. ----- Dr. Paul Barattiero Website: https://echowater.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/echohydrogen/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/echohydrogen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/echohydrogen ----- Integrative Peptides Website: https://integrativepeptides.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/integrativepeptidesofficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/integrativepeptides/ ---- Holtorf Medical Group Website: https://holtorfmed.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/holtorfmed/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holtorfmedicalgroup/ ---- Kent Holtorf, MD YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0S6Kaa1V9-dfo2sPyZPT6A ---- Produced by DrTalks  https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/

    Using Peptides to Help Master Love, Sex & Intimacy

    Your libido isn’t gone—it’s just waiting for the right support. In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Dr. Nick Delgado joins us to dive into the science and practice of creating a fulfilling sex life that lasts well into later years. From communication and intimacy strategies to hormone optimization and peptide therapy, he shares practical ways to boost vitality, intimacy, and longevity. In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Dr. Nick Delgado challenges cultural myths and common misunderstandings about sexual health, intimacy, and performance. He explains that while 95% of men believe they are great lovers, the majority of women report not experiencing orgasm in their relationships—a disconnect rooted in lack of communication, inadequate foreplay, and male insecurity. Drawing on decades of research and clinical practice, Dr. Delgado emphasizes that true intimacy depends on dialogue, patience, and understanding women’s unique physiology. Beyond the bedroom, he explores how lifestyle and science intersect to extend both sexual vitality and life itself. He outlines the importance of hormone optimization, detoxification of harmful estrogens, plant-based nutrition, adrenal support, and the use of certain peptides. These tools, he argues, not only enhance sexual performance but also improve longevity, immune function, and quality of life. The conversation is both entertaining and deeply educational, offering actionable strategies for couples and individuals seeking to feel younger, healthier, and more connected.

    Microbiome, Mycology, and More!

    Discover how your gut’s microbial balance affects everything from stress to drug absorption. In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Afif Ghannoum joins us to unpack the science of the gut microbiome and reveals how imbalances in this ecosystem can disrupt digestion, drug effectiveness, stress response, and immunity. In this episode of Peptides & Longevity, Afif Ghannoum, a biotechnology entrepreneur, breaks down the emerging science of the total microbiome—including bacteria, fungi, and viruses—and its massive impact on digestion, disease, drug response, and overall health. He shares insights from his father, Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum, who coined the term ‘mycobiome’ and has led groundbreaking research into how fungi and bacteria form biofilms in the gut, driving inflammation and digestive disorders. Together, they developed BIOHM Health to bring this research to consumers with innovative testing and probiotic solutions. Afif also reveals surprising truths—like how stress, over-exercise, and restrictive diets can damage the microbiome, and how fungi aren’t inherently bad but vital to gut balance. He explains why prebiotics (dietary fibers that nourish good microbes) may be more important than probiotics alone, and how proper microbial balance affects pain, stress response, immunity, and even medication effectiveness. This is a powerful conversation for anyone who’s struggled with gut issues, chronic symptoms, or confusion about which ‘health rules’ to follow.
