Struggling with weight management despite "doing everything right"? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation, Naturopathic Doctor Eleanor Duelley demystifies peptides - the natural compounds your body makes to regulate metabolism that diminish with age.

Dr. Duelley explains why GLP-1 peptides like semaglutide (found in Ozempic) have gained so much attention, distinguishing between responsible therapeutic use and celebrity weight loss headlines. "Peptides are supporting that system that I referred to as your metabolism," she clarifies, contrasting them with conventional medications that block bodily processes.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore how peptide production naturally declines as we age, explaining why that lightning-fast metabolism of our twenties seems to vanish despite maintaining similar habits. More importantly, Dr. Duelley shares her personal transformation - losing 34 pounds while significantly improving her metabolic markers through a balanced approach of micro-dosing peptides alongside sensible nutrition and movement.

Beyond weight management, we discover peptides that support joint function, sexual health, gut healing, and muscle preservation. Dr. Duelley addresses common concerns about peptide delivery methods, explaining why injectable peptides offer significantly higher efficacy (85%) compared to oral options (1-2%), and why micro-dosing just once weekly makes the process far less intimidating than most imagine.

Whether you're frustrated with stubborn weight issues, concerned about metabolic health, or simply curious about peptide therapy, this conversation provides practical, accessible information to help you make informed decisions about your wellness journey. Ready to restore your metabolic flexibility? This episode might just change your approach to health forever.
