True Health Recovery
How many friends or family members do you know who are struggling with their health? Probably more than you think. And there's a good chance you're in the same boat, whether it's dealing with anxiety, depression, endometriosis, PCOS, acne, eczema, psoriasis, autoimmune issues, thyroid problems, Lyme disease, brain fog, or just plain fatigue. Trust me, you're not alone. These days, living with health symptoms has become the unfortunate norm.
Most people just learn to live with their health issues, accepting them without questioning why there hasn't been more progress in medical research. But more and more often, these symptoms begin to seriously affect people's quality of life, stripping away the joys and freedoms they once took for granted. They find themselves part of a "hidden army" of sufferers, possibly confined to their homes or even hospitalized, as they bounce from one doctor to another, losing hope and their spark along the way.
The truth is, no one is immune to health issues. Given what we face in today's world and its impact on our bodies, it's possible that anyone could suddenly start showing symptoms out of the blue.
That's where Dr. Hugh Wegwerth D.C. comes in. Join him in his enlightening podcast as he shares groundbreaking, ahead-of-the-curve medical insights that millions around the globe are already using to heal and conquer chronic illnesses. But a heads-up: if you prefer to stay in the dark about these issues, then this podcast might not be for you.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh talks about a powerful healing tool that many people have never heard of—BPC-157 peptides. If you're struggling with pain, injuries, or long-term health issues, this episode may offer new hope.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
- What is BPC-157?
A special peptide that may help reduce pain, heal tissues, and lower inflammation. - Why Dr. Hugh Tried It:
After 26 years as a chiropractor and 15 years in functional medicine, Dr. Hugh shares how he used BPC-157 for his own elbow and back pain caused by pickleball and old injuries. - What the Research Shows:
BPC-157 may:- Improve blood flow
- Help heal muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Decrease inflammation
- Where He Got It:
Dr. Hugh explains where he bought the peptides online, what the packaging looks like, and what the labels say (including “not for human use”). - How He Prepared the Peptides:
Step-by-step:- Used bacteriostatic water
- Mixed it slowly
- Used insulin syringes
- Measured out the right dose
- Dosing Details:
He aimed for 250 to 500 micrograms per day and used a free calculator online to figure it out. - How He Injected It:
- Under the skin (subcutaneous injection)
- Cleaned the area with alcohol
- Gently inserted the needle
- Stored the vial in the fridge after use
- The Big Picture:
Dr. Hugh believes simple, natural tools—like peptides—can help the body heal. He encourages others to do their own research and decide if this approach is right for them.

Where there's health… there's hope.
Hey, community. This is Doctor Hugh coming at you. And today, what I want to talk about is something that's, um, I would say really outside of the box. I've had this on my mind probably for a couple years. Um, if you've been watching my station at all, uh, for a while, or have had any kind of looked at any of my content, I deal with a lot of people that are in, um, pretty significant, um, chronic health issues. I see a lot of people that have been hurt by antibiotics, specifically fluoroquinolones. I help lots of people with really severe, uh, what I would just say severe chronic illness. So I am willing to try a lot of different things to see if we can, um, help move the needle, the healing needle. So today we're going to be talking about is peptides. And I'm going to be talking about injectable peptides. Um, and I've had my attention on this for a while, and, um, I've been I've been a chiropractor, uh, for 26 years, and I've been doing functional medicine probably for 15. So over my career, I've adjusted a lot of people. And I have, uh, some what I would call chronic musculoskeletal problems myself. Uh, one in particular is my elbow. And my elbow is really sore, actually, because of, uh, pickleball. And it's been sore for about, I would say 3 or 4 months. And then I've always had some low grade, chronic, low back pain issues that I've been dealing with. And I've done a lot of things. I've gotten adjusted regular. I take a bunch of vitamins, I take supplements, I do, I exercise. So I wanted to try, uh, peptides and see, you know what? I could actually get through, uh, peptides. So before I get into this, I just want to have this medical disclaimer is this is for for information purposes only. You can get these things on the internet. And I've decided for myself that I was willing to try these peptides and see exactly, you know, what kind of outcome am I? What kind of things can I get? Can I get better? Can I get some musculoskeletal pain relief? So what I want to do right here is I want to go over the website. So right here these are the peptides that I have bought. And this comes from basically uh it's called peptide science in here. And this is my second round of peptides. Now one of the peptides that I'm going to be going over right here is this one right here. Which is this is going to be a blend of uh, BPC 157. So what exactly is BP? 157 so if you read this little description right down in here. So bt b pc 157 is to basically improve blood flow and reduce inflammation. And then they also have this combination product. The second product here which is called TB 500 which really stands for um thymosin beta four. And these peptides are really to try and decrease inflammation. And you can see here heal muscles tendons and ligaments and and promoting new basically arterial flow to that area. So this is on the internet. You can get these on the internet. And you can see right here is all over the internet. It says here that this is not for human consumption. It's strictly for research purposes. Now they're telling you that it's not for human use. It's not for veterinarian use, but yet they still have, you know, hundreds and hundreds of you can see all these different peptides, hundreds and hundreds of peptides that they are actually selling, right? They're actually selling these peptides to someone. And the only people that I can imagine that they're actually selling these peptides to are actually human beings that can use them themselves. So I've with everything, you have to weigh the pros and cons, like, are you willing to try something like this or your, your, your not. So you got to look at the the information. You got to evaluate everything and see your risk tolerance for doing BPC. Bpc 157 injectables. There are some companies now that are coming out with oral, which I'm very excited about because that was an easier gradient, I think, for people. So I've done lots and lots of research on this, and I was finally comfortable doing this and trying to get some results. So one of the things that I did see here is if you just go on, uh, YouTube right here and this right here. This one right here. The FDA suppressed this for years. This is by, uh, doctor Josh ax here. He has, uh, he has, like, 2.3. He has, uh, 2.3 million followers here. So this specifically this one right here, this, um, YouTube video that I watched was the determining factor for me to try to do the peptides. Um, because, um, one thing about doctor Josh ax is he actually did like a stem cell therapy about, I think about three years ago, and it got infected and he couldn't walk. Uh, you know, doctors said that he may he may never walk. It was it was a bad. It was a bad thing that happened. Somehow the needle got infected. Um, and he had a major systemic infection, and his low back basically dissolved to nothing. And in this video right here, he talks about his success with his peptides and how the peptides saved contributed to his healing. And in here, he talks about a whole bunch of other different peptides that he recommends. Now, if you just go to YouTube here and just do BC157, let's just look at how much content there is on here. And there is lots and lots of content on BPC. 157. Um, here's this fellow here. Uh, so he has he has 3.8 million subscribers. He's super ripped. He's super cut. Um, and he's doing peptides. So I wanted to try it. I think, uh, this is my second round. The first round I strictly did BPC 157. Now the second round I'm doing the combination of products. So I kind of want to really share with you. Um. My experience where I got them. So this is the exact blend that we're going to be going over right here. And then also there's a few things that you have to get. Now what I'm going to show you right here is these are the the different products that you need to get. And I've done I did lots and lots of research on this before I, I did this I've been researching peptides probably for I would say uh, 1 to 2 years and I decided to go forward and move with it. So this comes from peptide science. This is what you're going to get. You're going to get up and you're going to get this little vial right in here. And you can see this is really, really small. This is um, you know, this is this is the size of my finger right here. So you can see how small it is. So I'm going to open this up here so you can see. And I'm going to go through the whole process of what they call reconstituting this. Because when you get these peptides they come in um, a powder. Now, I'm not sure if you can if you can see that white stuff there. Okay. That's that's actually there's actually powder in there. Um, let me get a different angle right here. So if you can see okay. So you can see that the powder right in there. Right. So you can see the powder on the bottom there. Let me just flip it over and you can see how how the powder is gone right now. Right. So what you're looking at right here is this is actually the peptide. And you can see here is this is a blend of let me see if I can get closer. Yep I can BPC 157 and TB 500 and it basically ten milligrams of each right. So there's ten milligrams of each in this little small bottle. And now here's peptide science. It's all over there. Not for human consumption. They also have a big warning label in here. But obviously people are using these things because um, well, they sell, uh, hundreds of different peptides and someone's consuming these. All right. So in here, if you go to this right here, this is the needles that I've been using right here. You could just go on Amazon and buy those right here. That's exactly what I did I watched a bunch of videos. This right here is what we call bacteriostatic water. So this has a this has alcohol in it. You can see the alcohol right in there. Right. So it's going to kill any bacteria that might possibly form. So this is the bacteriostatic water. You can see that it has the alcohol in there. And this is the the syringe. This right here is obviously that's a peptide in powder. And then we have the alcohol swabs. Now in here. This is the alcohol swabs that I have right in there. Now one of the things that you have to do is you have to reconstitute it because you have to make this a powder. Right. And there's a whole process like this. So I'm going to walk you through this process right here, right now. Okay. So the first thing that we're going to do is we have the reconstituted water. And then this is just basically a simple insulin injectable needle. So I'm going to take this out of the package. And you can see what this looks like more closely right here. So you can see this needle right in here. And this is considered oh this is considered units right here. Let me flip this around. So this is considered units. So 100 units is one milliliter. Now one of the things I did find is because you have to do some calculations when you reconstitute it. So what you have to do is you have to add this solution here to the peptides to make the peptides a liquid. Now with all the research that I went over, I found this kind of cool calculator, which, um, helps out quite a bit. So let me show you this right here. So this is the calculator. So it gives you the different syringes that you might buy. So I bought this one right here. Right. This one right here which is 100 units. And then it tells you how much peptide how much peptide uh amounts in there. So it's ten milligrams, right. But it's ten milligrams and ten milligrams. Uh, so there's 20mg of total peptide in there, but each one is ten milligrams. Okay. So this right here just to give you the website right here, if you wanted to Google this right here, you could Google that and come up with the calculator. Now if you do any research on this so this is ten milligrams. Now one of the things that I want to do here is I want to have with, uh, how this comes out, I want to have a 250 microgram dose. Now again, this is where you have to do your own research on. This is on the internet. All right. I'm just going by the internet. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm not your doctor is. Generally, people dose this 250 micrograms to 500 micrograms. So a common dose would be 250mg twice a day. Now I don't want to give myself two injections a day. So I've been doing anywhere from 250 to 500 micrograms per day. Now, what this does here is this is going to allow us to figure out how much peptide is in each, um, injection. Right. So we have to know that. Right. And this this comes down to the math. And this has been the best math that I've been able to find here. Okay. So this is what I decided to do. So I've got this needle right here. Right. And if you just click it, it change all these numbers down here I have ten milligrams of BPC 157. And I'm going to be putting in basically four milliliters of water. So what the heck is that. So four milliliters is going to be four. Of these syringes in right here. Right. So each one right here is 100. That's one milliliter. Now down here this is going to give you the calculation. So if I want 250mg of a dose. Basically I'm going to be taking roughly ten. And it's really kind of small right here ten. You can see the ten. You can see the ten right here. So that's how big 250 micrograms would be. If I wanted to take 500 micrograms. So anyway I take anywhere from 250 to 500, then it would just be double that. It would be uh, up to. Right. Right in this area. Right in here on that needle. Okay. Now, now what I'm going to go through is I'm going to go through the reconstitution of this, and I'm going to be putting this solution in here. And we need four of these, um, basically Bacteriostatic water to go in here. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and reconstitute this. So here we have the bacteriostatic water. We have an alcohol swab I'm going to swab this tip right here. And then I'm going to do the same thing right in here. It has a little cap on it there. So that pops off. It's a little rubber there. You can see that little rubber hole right in there. We're going to take some alcohol swabs right there. Okay. So this is the needle right in there I'm going to take this off here I'm going to take this off right here. You can see that needle. Now what I'm going to do here is. I'm going to take this to. One milliliter right. You can see that right down. Now we need four of these. I'm going to insert that. I'm going to push the air in there. And then I'm going to back this out. And you can see the water filling up there. You can feel pressure on there okay. Take that out. And then this is the peptide. And then very gently here what we want to do. So very gently. What we want to do here is we are just going to insert that right into the center right here. And then you want to be very gentle. You can see how it's starting to push in here. There's pressure there. And you want to be very gentle with the peptide. You don't want to squirt it in there because the peptides are very, very gentle. And this is how we're going to start to what we call reconstitute it. Okay. Now you can see here. That is all liquid. But now we need to do. We need to do three more of their. So I'm going to do three more. Put three more in there. You can see it filling up. Okay. I'm going to take the peptide. And there's pressure in there. So it's going to start to automatically come down. So you don't want it to go too fast. Okay. So I'm going to put two more in there. I'm going to put the video on pause and put two more in there. Okay. So the bottle. So this is the first time I've done this here. The combination. So this bottle here can only hold three milliliters. This needle right here. So I put three in and you can see how it's all the way up at the top here. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to go back to my calculator right here and change this to three. And then you can see here if I wanted to do 250 micrograms, it's a little bit less than ten on that dial right there. Right. So if we look back at this, here is now you can see that that is crystal clear and it's all mixed up. Now what the internet says is when you're done with this is you want to put this in the refrigerator after you're done injecting it. So what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to go over how I inject it myself. And you're going to see this firsthand. Okay. What I'm going to do right now is I'm going to do an injection. So I'm going to get a new needle right here. I'm going to open this up. I'm going to swab this right here. Now what I want to do here is I'm going to actually do a basically a five microgram dose. So I'm going to estimate that it's that the needle here, we should be right around here for 500 500 micrograms. This isn't like an exact precision. Like if you're off by one 1 or 2 little these little dials, I don't think it's really going to matter. So let's get back to this here. Can I take this off right here. And then to top off right here. Right. And then you kind of bring it, bring the plunger down here a little bit just so you can see where we're at. See if I can get that in focus okay. So. You can see that's 20. So we're going to be right right about there okay. You see the center right there. We're going to try and get it right in that hole. And then you see how the needle got sucked in because there's pressure there. Now I'm going to slowly. Bring this out. And you can see how it's filling up right there. I'm not sure if you can see that. It's taking some time. Okay. So here we have it. And then I'm just going to push some of the arrow until you see. Some come to the tip. You see it right there, right? All right, so we know that is filled up. Okay, so what you're looking at right here is my elbow. I'm just going to use a swab there. Clean it. Now you can have someone pinch the skin like. Right. It just needs to go right underneath the skin. But again, that's what I learned on the internet. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm not your doctor. So this is the needle. You just put it in. Take it out. That's it. Okay, so that's the whole process from start to finish. What I think out there, I think there's lots and lots of therapies that help people out there that the government does not want you to know, because if you actually got your hands on some of these things, you'd actually get better and no one would make money. The reason why these peptides here you can't patent a peptide like these are peptides are naturally occurring substances that God put on planet Earth. So you cannot patent these things. So for there to be some study that says, oh this peptide BPC is great. It helps this, this, this. There has to be billions of dollars put into that study. And no one's going to do that because no one's making money on these things. So at the end of the day, what I've learned after 26 years of clinical experience helping the most difficult cases is the most powerful. Tools are generally the most simple tools. Always start simple and then go from there. At the end of the day, if you found value in this, give me a thumbs up. If you're looking for some guided help, you can click the link somewhere in this video here and you can schedule a zoom call. And with that being said, remember is where there's hope. There's hope. Take care. Bye bye.
