Peptides 101: Boost Sleep, Immunity & Energy with Precision Molecules | Dr. Adam Boender

The Beautifully Broken Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Adam Boender—entrepreneur, peptide expert, and co-founder of Legacy BioScience—for a powerful exploration of what peptides really are, how they function in the body, and why they’re a game-changing tool in the world of regenerative health.

We unpack how peptides act as biological communicators to restore cellular function, improve efficiency, and accelerate healing. We also discuss the difference between deficiency and dysfunction, the pitfalls of cheap peptides, and how to approach peptide therapy with purpose and personalization. From BPC-157 and thymosin alpha-1 to epitalon and VIP, we explore therapeutic peptides that support gut health, immune resilience, longevity, and even deep REM sleep. Whether you're facing chronic illness or simply want to upgrade your biology, this episode will leave you empowered and informed.
