Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Elizabeth sits down with longevity expert Nathalie Niddam to demystify the world of peptides and bioregulators—and how to use them wisely, not wildly.

You’ll hear clinical stories about BPC-157, GHK-Cu, epitalon, and oxytocin, plus a fascinating look at plasma exchange, exosomes, and regenerative therapies for aging in a toxic world. Most importantly, Nathalie and Elizabeth keep bringing it back to foundations—nutrition, detox, movement, sleep, and testing—so you understand how to stack these advanced tools on top of real health, not instead of it.Nathalie Niddam is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, longevity and biohacking coach, and one of the leading voices in the peptide and bioregulator space. With a background in physiology, nutrition, and functional health, she helps people extend their healthspan by combining ancestral health principles, modern science, and cutting-edge tools like bioregulator peptides.
