Peptid-Revolution: Was Peptide sind, wie sie wirken & warum sie die Zukunft der Medizin sein könnten

In the ERCM Medicine Podcast, Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Simone Kreth, physician and biochemist, explains why modern longevity medicine does not focus on individual diseases, but on the biological causes of aging. One focus is on peptides: short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, controlling key processes in the body – from immune functions to energy balance and regeneration. In this episode you will learn: • How chronic inflammation, immunosenescence and cellular degeneration drive the biological aging process. • Why nutrition, stress, muscle mass and gut health are crucial levers for a long healthspan. • The role mitochondria play in energy, performance, and cell health. • What distinguishes peptides from proteins and how they specifically regulate biological processes. • Which peptide approaches are currently being researched for immunomodulation, mitochondrial function and regeneration. • Why a clear distinction must be made between scientific potential and a lack of clinical evidence. Simone Kreth points out that medicine often treats the long-term consequences of a lengthy biological process. The future could lie in understanding these processes earlier and influencing them more effectively. Peptides could open up new avenues here – however, much is still in the research phase. Important: Self-medication with unapproved or uncontrolled preparations is not a safe alternative.
