Episode 2: Are Peptides 'Cheating'? Let’s Talk About the Elephant in the Room!
Welcome back to Peptides for Women! In today’s episode, I’m addressing a question I get all the time: “Aren’t peptides cheating?”
If you’ve ever felt skeptical, curious, or even judgmental about using peptides like GLP-1s, this episode is for you. I break down the most common concerns I hear about peptides, especially GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and share why I believe these therapies are far more than just quick fixes. With insights from my background in functional nutrition and my own journey, I hope to offer a compassionate, science-based perspective on why peptides can be a powerful support (not a shortcut!) for women in midlife.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why even functional wellness practitioners question peptides at first
- The difference between “natural” supplements and injectable peptides
- How GLP-1s work in the body and what makes them unique
- Why peptides are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle
- Common side effects and safety profiles for GLP-1 medications
- Long-term use: should you stay on peptides forever?
- Interactions with medications and when to talk to your doctor
- Why shame and judgment have no place in the health journey
