What it is: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in the gut crucial in regulating insulin secretion, hunger, and food intake. GLP-1 is our natural signal of fullness or satiety. Certain weight-loss medication s mimic this process, offering a potential solution for those struggling with weight management and metabolic health. Recently, the concept of "microdosing" GLP-1 agonist medications has garnered attention due to its approach of using smaller-

We now offer hormone testing , providing insight into the connection between sleep and stress due to their link in how our hormones, specifically cortisol and melatonin, work together. Cortisol is essential for alertness and energy during the day. Our exposure to daylight allows for the natural rhythm to occur. But blue light from electronics, especially in the evening, suppresses melatonin, leading to difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep. Melatonin suppression als

Apeiron Life is now testing for petroleum-based byproducts, which include microplastics and their chemical compounds (e.g. Phthalates, Styrene) and industrial solvents (e.g. Benzene) through Tox Detect Profile . Let your Client Advocate know if you'd like to learn more about testing yourself or loved ones. Plastic breaks down into small pieces that can become micro- or nano-plastics (MNFs). MNFs and their chemicals enter the body primarily through ingestion, inhalation, or ab

What it is: The methylation cycle is a process within the body that is required for cell function, energy production, DNA repair, gene expression regulation, detoxification, and many other biological processes. Exercise, sleep, and nutrition all influence DNA methylation via methyl groups that can turn genes on or off, regulating various biological processes. The process depends upon enzymes known as methyltransferases to transfer methyl groups to proteins, DNA, and within ce
