Hey y’all. This episode is equal parts science, honesty, and real talk.

I’m joined by Michelle Kilduff, a peptide performance coach who cuts through the hype and explains what actually makes peptides work in real life.

We talk about GLP-1s, recovery peptides, longevity, and why so many people are disappointed when they expect injections to do all the heavy lifting.

Michelle shares why behavior, fueling, strength training, and consistency matter more than any protocol, plus what she sees go wrong when people chase quick fixes without support.

If you’re curious about peptides, already using them, or just want to understand how to work with your body instead of against it, this conversation will ground you fast.

Highlights:

(03:28) How Michelle found her way into peptide coaching

(09:31) GLP-1s vs other peptides and what they actually do

(16:17) Why prescriptions fail without lifestyle follow through

(19:35) The real risks of under eating on GLP-1s

(27:23) How strength training and recovery should look on peptides

(28:22) Injection fatigue and why people quit too early
