If you have a chronic injury that won’t heal, a gut that’s been quietly inflamed for years, or both — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science behind BPC-157, the body’s own repair code, with a clear breakdown of the question patients ask most: should I take it orally or by injection? Featuring the case of “Lisa,” a 52-year-old patient with two-year tennis elbow and ulcerative colitis who discovered the two diagnoses were actually one underlying problem.

In this episode, you will learn: what BPC-157 is and why your body already makes it; the mechanisms behind its effects on tendons, ligaments, joints, gut, nerves, and skin; the critical difference between oral and injectable forms and which one is right for which condition; the typical clinical protocol used in functional medicine; the foundations that make peptide therapy actually work; and five specific things you can do this week to support your body’s repair capacity even before you see a physician.

Key takeaways:

  • How BPC-157 supports gut healing and tissue repair
  • Oral vs. injectable BPC-157: which form is best for you
  • Why chronic gut inflammation can drive joint and tendon pain
  • The foundational habits that make peptide therapy more effective
  • How midlife hormone changes affect the body’s ability to heal

Listen now to discover whether BPC-157 could help your body repair and recover.
