Peptides are everywhere right now — in conversations about muscle, fat loss, recovery, longevity, and immune health. But here's the truth most people aren't talking about:

👉 Peptides don't work well in a stressed, depleted, inflamed body. 👉 And when used too early, they often make symptoms worse — not better.

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm breaking down PEPTIDES 101 from a root-cause, functional medicine lens — not hype, shortcuts, or biohacker trends.

This is a terrain-first, signaling-based conversation designed to help you understand:

• What peptides actually do

• Who they're best for

• When they're NOT appropriate

• And why timing matters more than the peptide itself

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What peptides are (and how they differ from hormones, proteins, and supplements)

• Why peptides act as signal amplifiers, not fixes

• How chronic stress, under-fueling, over-training, poor sleep, constipation, and inflammation shut down:

  • hormonal signaling

  • immune modulation

  • cellular repair

• Why peptides often fail when the nervous system doesn't feel safe

• The 7 phases of peptide readiness, including:

  • nervous system regulation

  • metabolic stabilization

  • digestion, elimination & drainage

  • training and recovery alignment

  • foundational nutrition

• What peptides are actually best used for:

  • tissue repair & recovery

  • lean mass preservation

  • immune regulation

  • mitochondrial resilience

  • longevity signaling

• Why peptides belong after foundations — not before them

This episode is for you if:

• You're curious about peptides but want to use them safely

• You've tried "doing all the right things" and still feel stuck

• You're a midlife athlete dealing with fatigue, poor recovery, or anabolic resistance

• You want to understand why things aren't working — not just what to try next

The key takeaway:

Peptides don't create healing. They accelerate healing that's already allowed.
