Peptides: hype or healing? In this episode I sit down with my dear friend & longtime concierge nurse Amber Cameneti (Ageless Blonde) to demystify peptides for complex chronic illness—especially Lyme. We unpack what peptides are (tiny signaling proteins), how they’re being explored for tissue repair, immune modulation, gut support, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health, plus the safety questions everyone asks first.

We also talk about our own Lyme, MCAS, & Mold healing journeys, how we met, the future of medicine & beyond. 

We cover

• What peptides actually do in the body (signaling vs. “supplements that support”)
• Repair & recovery staples (e.g., BPC-157, TB-500), immune-focused options (e.g., Thymosin Alpha-1), and where GLP-1 meds fit in (what’s similar, what’s different)
• Sourcing, testing, & medical oversight: how to vet clinics, compounding pharmacies, and red flags to avoid
• Lyme-specific considerations: inflammation, herxing, pacing, and stacking with foundations (sleep, minerals, gentle movement)
• Dosing philosophies, cycles, and why “lowest effective dose” matters
• Myths, risks, and the current state of research—what we know vs. what’s still emerging
• SO MUCH MORE!!!!
