Peptides are everywhere right now, but almost nobody understands them. In this episode of the Wholefull Podcast, Sean sits down with Estelle: a qualified architect, mom of four, and HYROX athlete whose body transformation got her town whispering she was on steroids. Instead, she'd gone deep down the rabbit hole of peptides, weight training and consistency.

We get into what peptides actually are, which ones she uses daily, the ones beginners reach for, how to spot a bad supplier, and the very real ways people get this wrong. Plus: cardio vs weights, why she eats before every workout, creatine for mental clarity, and her message to women over 40.

⚠️ This conversation is based on personal experience only. Neither host nor guest is a medical professional. Nothing here is medical advice, so always consult your doctor before starting any peptide, supplement or training program.
