Hot flashes aren’t just an estrogen issue — they’re a brain signaling issue. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening in the hypothalamus during perimenopause, menopause, and surgical menopause, and why vasomotor symptoms can feel sudden, intense, and completely out of control. You’ll learn how specific peptides influence temperature regulation, nervous system balance, and hormonal signaling, including a deep dive into PE-22-28 and the neurokinin B pathway that directly drives hot flashes. We also cover kisspeptin, gonadorelin, Selank, Semax, growth hormone peptides, and supportive stacks that can reduce night sweats, improve sleep, and calm the body’s internal thermostat. This episode is for anyone looking for non-hormonal or complementary strategies to better understand and manage hot flashes through advanced peptide science.
