What if your brain’s best days are still ahead?

In Episode 5 of our Lighting the Way December series, Dr. Michael Bagnell and May Bagnell, IHP explore one of the most exciting frontiers in neuroscience and regenerative medicine: peptides — powerful biological messengers that help the body repair, regenerate, and restore balance.

This conversation isn’t about symptom suppression. It’s about supporting the body’s innate ability to heal, something medicine is finally rediscovering after decades of overlooking it.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What peptides are and why your body naturally produces thousands of them
• Why peptide signaling declines with age, inflammation, and chronic stress
• How peptides act like “text messages” between cells, reminding your body what it already knows how to do
• Why peptides are becoming a breakthrough tool in 2025 for brain health, gut healing, injury recovery, and longevity

🧠 We dive deep into three foundational peptides:

• BPC-157 – the repair & protection peptide for gut, brain, and connective tissue
• TB-500 – the movement & tissue healing peptide for stubborn or old injuries
• GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) – the regeneration & longevity peptide supporting skin, collagen, and cellular resilience

You’ll also hear how peptides fit into a functional neurology model, why order of operations matters, and how calming the nervous system, improving sleep, and reducing inflammation allow healing tools to work more effectively.

If you’re dealing with brain fog, chronic inflammation, slow healing, gut issues, post-concussion symptoms, autoimmune challenges, or simply feel like your body isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, this episode offers clarity, understanding, and hope.

💡 Key takeaway:
Your body is not broken — it may just need the right signals.

As always, we’re here to remind you:
 ✨ You can heal. And we can help.
