New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– How To Use Peptides Without Needles Or Injections
In my podcast last week with Jay Campbell, I mentioned an oral peptide for healing the gut and enhancing muscular recovery that requires no needles or injections. Since writing the article “How To Use BPC-157: A Complete Dummies Guide To Healing The Body Like Wolverine”, I've discovered a well-absorbed oral version of peptide BPC-157 made by Dr. Seeds. It seems to work quite well, especially for the gut healing component of BPC-157 use. You can get it here and use code: BEN for 15% off.
– A New Biohack For Your Walks & Runs
Ever heard of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP)? It's used in medical heart therapy to stimulate the openings or formation of collateral blood vessels (small branches of blood vessels) to create a natural bypass around narrowed or blocked arteries. Basically, it builds new capillaries to the heart. But a home EECP unit costs north of fifteen thousand dollars! I've just discovered a simple strap you can wear while walking or running that does the same thing (stimulates growth of new capillaries to your heart), but for healthy, exercising people – at a fraction of the price.
Here's how it works: during exercise, skeletal muscles throughout your body drive large amounts of blood from your extremities back to your heart. When the timing of the heart and muscles is synchronized, our bodies are more efficient, making exercise easier and allowing you to walk or run faster and farther with less effort. This new device called the “Counterpace” is a training app and sensor that improves your running by synchronizing your step and heart cycle timing. Pushing off the ground at the beginning of your heart’s relaxation phase optimizes your circulation, which leads to improvements in performance.
I've been toying around with this device during my afternoon walks and during several treadmill-based runs and I really, really like it – it seems to be making me more efficient at walking and running by the day. Thanks to Dr. Mercola for making me aware of this game-changing device. To get one, you can click here and use code: BEN for 10% off.

Hi Ben,
Does it matter if we order the Dr. Seeds “Performance” or “Natural Health” complex? Or are they both BPC-157?
