#345: The IMMUNITY Gamechanger | Thymosin alpha-1 Peptide (Cancer, Aging & Autoimmune) with Nat Niddam
Welcome back to the Longevity Podcast! I’m your host, Nathalie Niddam—a nutritionist, human potential and epigenetic coach, and devoted biohacker. Today, I’m tackling one of your most-requested topics: Thymosin Alpha 1, a peptide that keeps lighting up conversations in my communities.
In this episode, I walk you through what Thymosin Alpha 1 is, why I think it matters for our immune systems, and how it’s being used around the world—not just for immune support, but as an adjunct in cancer therapies and for managing inflammation and aging. I break down the science in practical terms, sharing both research highlights and observations from my experience in the peptide space, along with some important cautions if you’re considering it for yourself.
Whether you’re new to peptides or have lots of questions, I want this episode to be a jumping-off point for learning more, staying informed, and having smarter conversations with your health team. Plus, I’ll let you know where to find more resources if you want to keep exploring.
So grab your headphones, and let’s explore how Thymosin Alpha 1 could fit into the bigger picture of longevity and health optimization together!
