On this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I’m joined by three guests: Dr. Suzanne Turner, who is a return guest on the podcast, and the founders and formulators of Vitali Skin Care, Debbi Barber and Terry Barber. We take a deep dive into copper peptides, and cover everything from the chemical function of these peptides to how they act on DNA. We also discuss the additional key ingredients in the Vitali Skin Care products that are making drastic transformations in people’s skin.

Copper peptides help make your stem cells more likely to produce the growth factors that are needed to repair the damage of those cells.  Using copper peptides consistently for long periods of time can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and repair the surface of the skin.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Debbi Barber and Terry Barber: www.vitaliskincare.com  www.instagram/vitali_skincare.com   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Vitali Skincare: Use code NAT25 at https://www.restoracell.com LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.
