Episode 255- Weight Won't Budge? Dig Deeper Into Peptides, Hormones & Mitochondrial Health with Craig Mullen, FNP


Listen Later

If you feel like you've tried everything—fasting, low-carb, supplements—and your weight still won't budge, this episode is for you.

Shana welcomes Craig Mullen, founder of Remedy Functional Health and a pioneer in root-cause healing, to unpack the deeper reasons behind weight loss resistance and metabolic burnout. Together they explore how hormone dysfunction, mitochondrial fatigue, and even your nervous system may be silently sabotaging your progress.

Craig shares cutting-edge strategies he's using with high performers to reverse fatigue, balance hormones, and restore metabolic flexibility—including the use of peptide therapy, regenerative tools, and advanced diagnostics most doctors miss.

What We Covered:
  • Why you can still be metabolically sick—even with "normal" labs

  • The role of mitochondria, peptides, and regenerative therapies in weight loss

  • What to do when low-carb and fasting stop working

  • Nervous system dysfunction as a root cause of insulin resistance

  • Signs your hormones need support (beyond estrogen and thyroid)

  • Simple actions to take this week to start moving the needle
