Join the Peptide PhD podcast this Thursday at 6pm MT on the HUB https://makewellnesshub.com/peptidephds/ In this episode of The Peptide PhDs, Dr. Mark Bartlett and Dr. Alan Jones explore a powerful new way to think about brain health: not as something isolated inside the skull, but as part of a whole-body communication network. For decades, brain-support conversations focused on nutrients like DHA, amino acids, neurotransmitters, and energy metabolism. Those still matter. But modern science is revealing something even more fascinating: the brain is constantly listening to signals from the body - including the gut, immune system, sleep cycles, stress chemistry, and even skeletal muscle. Dr. Mark and Dr. Alan unpack the emerging connection between muscle and the brain, including the role of myokines - signaling molecules released by active muscle - and why exercise is more than calorie-burning. It is communication. They also explore how peptides and amino acids fit into the larger story of focus, energy, cognitive performance, and healthy aging. The big idea: your brain is not just a thinker. It is a listener. And peptides may be one of the body’s most elegant ways of sending messages. See you Tonight!
