Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Nurse Jacquie Anderson -- women’s health RN, GLP-1 educator, and early adopter of peptides. Jacquie has been on GLP-1s for 3 years, both personally and clinically, and she brings simple, grounded, myth-busting wisdom for women navigating midlife metabolism, weight changes, inflammation, anxiety, cravings, hysterectomy recovery, and the emotional side of perimenopause. This episode is validating, practical, and packed with real-life strategies for women who are “doing everything right” but still not feeling good.

In this episode, we cover:

• What GLP-1 microdosing actually looks like (and why it works)
• Why high-dose semaglutide/tirzepatide creates the side effects women fear
• Reversing food noise, cravings, emotional eating, and insulin resistance
• Why perimenopause makes blood sugar regulation so hard
• How hysterectomy, low estrogen, and thyroid patterns affect weight
• The difference between weight loss dosing vs longevity/maintenance dosing
• How to prevent muscle loss while on GLP-1s
• Why protein, fiber, and resistance training matter more than the dose
• The emotional side of midlife, body changes, and “doing everything right”
• Jacquie's current peptide stack (GLP-1 microdose + tesamorelin/ipamorelin + NAD)
• The myth-busting conversation: GLP-1 safety, long-term data, heart benefits, and more
• Why women need both metabolic support and nervous system regulation
• How to know when your GLP-1 dose is too high
