#10 Five Healing Peptides Beyond GLP-1s with Dr. Jared Ward

We all know about weight loss peptides—but what about the powerful peptides that heal injuries, calm autoimmunity, repair tissue, and restore function?

In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with chiropractor Dr. Jared Ward to map a practical, ethical approach to peptide therapy that goes far beyond the scale. This is about protecting muscle, targeting visceral fat, calming autoimmunity, and accelerating tissue repair—while keeping clients anchored in protein, strength training, and gut health.

No shortcuts, no hype. Just protocols that signal the body to do what it's designed to do.

What We Cover:

• Tesamorelin: A standout for preserving lean mass and reducing visceral fat by nudging endogenous growth hormone, not dumping it
• Retatrutide: Why this triple-agonist (GLP-1, GIP, glucagon) can elevate energy expenditure and fat loss without pushing clients into muscle loss when paired with tesamorelin, protein, and lifting
• Thymosin Alpha-1: For immune modulation and autoimmune support, with vivid case notes on mobility and pain relief
• GHK-Cu: For collagen, skin, and hair repair—complete with a microneedling-plus-topical protocol clients can implement safely
• BPC-157 and TB-500: For injuries and gut repair, delivering tangible relief where it matters most
• Larazotide: How it helps seal leaky gut by reducing zonulin, improving issues that echo across skin, brain, and joints
• Guardrails that matter: bowel regularity before scripts, consistent supplements, and honest conversations about dosing pace to avoid the pitfalls of rapid weight loss
• How practitioners can scale access through telemedicine and ethical affiliate partnerships without diluting standards
