Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with someone I deeply admire and personally learn from, Taylor Williams. Taylor is a women’s health educator specializing in peptides, hormone optimization, and metabolic health, and she’s also the co-founder of the Axion Collective. This conversation takes a more personal and real-world turn as we talk about how peptides entered Taylor’s life, her relationship with her husband Hunter, and how education, hormones, and lived experience shaped the work they do today. This episode is equal parts science, life experience, and honest conversation about using peptides responsibly as tools, not magic fixes.

We talk about:

• Taylor’s journey from the fitness and hair industry into peptides and hormone education.
• How inflammation and misdiagnosis pushed her to look for alternatives.
• How foundational hormone replacement therapy changed everything for her, especially as she and Hunter enter their fertility journey.
• The realities of teaching peptides online right now, including social media censorship, misinformation.
• Her early health challenges, inflammation, and a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
• How Taylor and Hunter built a business together while respecting masculine and feminine roles
• Taylor’s personal hormone replacement therapy journey
• Using HCG and HMG to support sperm production
• Why mitochondrial health and cellular signaling matter before pregnancy
• Bioregulators, ovary support, and knowing when not to use a peptide

In this episode, I sit down with Jenelle Zingg to break down why so many women in midlife feel stuck with their weight, energy, and health despite doing “all the right things”. We talk about metabolic health, insulin resistance, food noise, and why traditional dieting often backfires for women in midlife. Jenelle explains how physiology (not lack of discipline) drives many of the struggles women experience, and why tools like GLP-1s can be supportive when used appropriately and alongside foundational habits.

In this episode, we cover:

• Jenelle’s background and clinical approach to women’s metabolic health
• Why willpower is not the issue for most midlife women
• How insulin resistance shows up in midlife, even without obvious symptoms
• The role of blood sugar dysregulation in cravings and food noise
• Why chronic dieting worsens metabolic flexibility over time
• How GLP-1s can support appetite regulation and metabolic health
• Why proper dosing and medical guidance matter with GLP-1s
• The importance of protein, consistency, and realistic expectations
• Why shame-based approaches keep women stuck
• Reframing weight loss as a health-supportive process, not a moral one
• How behavior change becomes easier when physiology is supported
