About this episode
Dr. Lara May discusses the biology of tissue healing and the role of peptides BPC-157 and TB-500 in supporting the body's repair systems.
In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May explores the fascinating biology of tissue healing and repair through the lens of two of the most talked-about peptides in functional medicine: BPC-157 and TB-500. This conversation goes beyond symptom management and optimization to explore how the body actually heals at a physiological level. Dr. Lara breaks down how these peptides function as signaling molecules that support tissue repair, inflammation resolution, gut integrity, vascular communication, and recovery from chronic stress and injury. You’ll learn why peptides are not “magic,” but intelligent messengers that depend on the body’s internal environment and responsiveness in order to work effectively. This is a grounded, science-informed conversation designed to bring clarity and understanding to regenerative healing and the body’s natural repair systems. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.
