0:20.8	You are listening to itchy and bitchy, a podcast that provides answers to your many health questions.
0:28.2	I'm Karen Nichol, Family Nurse Practitioner, and in the last episode of itchy and bitchy,
0:34.8	I talked to you about catabolism and enabolism and the advantage of conversion from a catabolic
0:42.1	state to an anabolic state. And if you're scratching your head, it's because you didn't listen to the
0:48.9	last episode. So I also let you know in that episode that I would talk to you this episode
0:57.2	about supplements that can help make that conversion happen. So if you did not listen to the last
1:04.9	episode called, is your metabolism creeping and crawling? I encourage you to listen to that
1:11.0	episode before listening to this one because otherwise a lot of this won't make a ton of sense.
1:17.4	So learn about catabolism and enabolism in the last episode called,

1:31.3	about today. Peptides are composed of amino acids and created when two or more amino acids are
1:41.0	joined together. And peptides are present in every living cells. Different types of peptides
1:48.3	influence different types of cells. And the peptide therapies discussed today are those that
1:55.6	improve the levels of growth hormone, which we often abbreviate as GH, but that is growth hormone
2:04.0	to provide a number of benefits. Peptide therapies can be used in an effort to help the body convert
2:12.0	from a catabolic state to an anabolic state. When we remain in a catabolic state long term,
2:19.3	it can cause fat gain, muscle and bone loss, adrenal fatigue, energy swings, poor energy,
2:28.0	hunger, increased blood pressure, and the down regulation or slowing of metabolism.
2:35.4	The mechanism of how growth hormone-releasing peptides work is not completely clear. At present,
2:44.0	the data favors the hypothesis that GHRPs, which are growth hormone-releasing peptides, GHRPs,
