Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Episode #90: The Fight To Save Your Longevity: Peptides, Bioregulators & Future Healthcare with Nathalie Niddam
We are living through the steepest decline in health ever recorded — and the numbers are impossible to ignore.
- Chronic inflammation now impacts 3 in 5 adults
- Autoimmune diseases have tripled
- Anxiety, depression, and burnout are hitting people younger every year
- Hormonal and metabolic disorders now appear 10–15 years earlier than past generations
Yet the healthcare system is still built to treat symptoms, not repair the body.
In this forward-thinking episode of Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Agarwal, we explore one of today’s most exciting areas in healthcare innovations: peptides and bioregulator peptides — emerging tools that may hold the key to better longevity, mental health, physical health, and overall wellness.
Dr. Meenal sits down with Nathalie Niddam, Longevity Educator and leading voice in peptide science, for one of the most practical, eye-opening conversations of the year. Together, they break down what peptides actually are, how they work, and how they may help the body restore itself at a cellular level.
This episode blends healthcare education, mental health, physical health, self-advocacy, and wellness with the newest insights in longevity research and peptides — making it essential listening for anyone trying to understand their own biology.
Whether you’re a healthcare provider, nutrition expert, patient, parent, or simply someone who wants to support your long-term health, this episode of the Uncover Your Eyes Podcast will help you see the systems behind your wellbeing more clearly.
Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
