Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Tara Turnure, founder and CEO of Beauty Drip, to talk about what really happens to a woman’s body after 35 and why doing “more” isn’t the answer. Tara shares her journey from model and TV personality to mom of three and wellness entrepreneur, and how peptides became the turning point when her body stopped responding to dieting, exercise, and willpower alone.

We talk about the pressure women feel to “bounce back” after pregnancy, the damaging cycles of fad dieting and over-exercising, and how peptides offered Tara a gentler, science-backed way to restore energy, metabolism, and confidence. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss and dives into why women in midlife often feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck. And how personalized peptide protocols, paired with realistic lifestyle support, can help the body work with you again.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why many women hit a metabolic wall after 35
• The impact of pregnancy, stress, and aging on energy and weight
• How peptides support metabolic efficiency and insulin sensitivity
• Why GLP-1s are more than just weight-loss tools
• The importance of personalized dosing and medical supervision
• How sourcing and quality control matter with peptides
• Why peptides are not one-size-fits-all
• Protein, sleep, and hydration as non-negotiable foundations
• Letting go of extreme wellness trends and unrealistic expectations
• Tara’s personal peptide and supplement stack
• Building sustainable routines for busy moms

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Carrena Watts, strength coach, powerlifter, and women’s fitness mentor, to talk about midlife changes, food noise, confidence, and how peptides became a supportive tool in her journey. Carrena shares her personal experience as a lifelong lifter who hit a wall after turning 40, despite having her training, nutrition, and habits dialed in.

We talk honestly about the mental load of food noise, why it often ramps up in midlife, and how GLP-1/GIP peptides helped Carrena quiet that noise, reduce inflammation, and regain a sense of control around food, while continuing to lift heavy and prioritize muscle. This conversation is grounded, practical, and empowering, especially for women who feel frustrated when “doing all the right things” no longer works the same way.

In this episode, we cover:

• The experience of persistent food noise despite solid nutrition and training habits
• How GLP-1/GIP peptides helped quiet food noise within days
• Reductions in inflammation, puffiness, and brain fog after starting tirzepatide
• Why strength training, protein, hydration, sleep, and walking stayed non-negotiable
• Using body composition scans to track fat loss and muscle preservation
• Protein-forward, realistic meals for busy moms (protein coffee, taco bowls, simple snacks)
• Intuitive eating after years of tracking
• Fiber basics using whole foods and simple prep
• The Wolverine stack for recovery and soreness during powerlifting prep
• GHK-Cu for skin, hair, and tissue support
• Growth hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295/Ipamorelin) for recovery, sleep, and muscle support
• Why dosing, cycling, and guidance matter
• Letting go of shame around using peptides as a supportive tool
• Modeling strength, confidence, and self-care for the next generation

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Colon, a naturopathic doctor specializing in integrative and regenerative medicine, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, IV therapy, gut health, and metabolic medicine.

Dr. Colon shares her personal health journey, how she approaches hormones and peptides in midlife women, and why foundations like labs, gut health, and lifestyle must come first before adding advanced therapies.

• How GLP-1s support metabolic health, inflammation, and weight loss when dosed appropriately
• The pros and cons of different hormone replacement options and how to individualize therapy
• Common root causes of fatigue and burnout in midlife women beyond “just hormones”
• How sleep, stress, and growth hormone support influence recovery and metabolic health
• Why libido is multifactorial and rarely fixed by testosterone alone
• The role of gut health in hormone balance and when peptides can support healing
• What truly drives skin, hair, aging, and longevity in midlife women
• Why peptide safety, proper dosing, and medical supervision are essential

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with Brandy Buskow -- FDN practitioner, health coach, EFT practitioner, and hypnotherapist -- to explore how GLP-1s can support metabolic healing, mental health, and long-term behavior change when paired with strong foundations. Brandy shares her personal journey through lifelong weight struggles, gut dysfunction, celiac disease, trauma, and chronic stress, and how GLP-1 therapy helped quiet food noise, improve insulin resistance, stabilize mood, and restore her relationship with food and movement.

In this episode, we cover:

• Brandy’s lifelong history with weight cycling, food noise, and emotional eating

• The role of childhood trauma, stress, and adverse life events in autoimmune disease and resistant weight gain

• How celiac disease, malabsorption, and nutrient deficiencies contributed to cravings and metabolic dysfunction

• What GLP-1s actually changed for Brandy—beyond weight loss (blood pressure, anxiety, insulin, energy, inflammation)

• Why slow, low-and-steady fat loss supported long-term healing and muscle preservation

• Ozempic vs. Mounjaro: dosing progression and real-world metabolic outcomes

• GLP-1s and gut health: microbiome effects, motility concerns, and symptom management

• Rebuilding a healthy relationship with food after years of restriction and diet dogma

• Using therapy tools like EMDR, EFT, hypnotherapy, and dietitian support alongside peptides

• GLP-1s, brain health, cardiovascular risk, and emerging research on dementia prevention

Jacquie has been on GLP-1s for 3 years, both personally and clinically, and she brings simple, grounded, myth-busting wisdom for women navigating midlife metabolism, weight changes, inflammation, anxiety, cravings, hysterectomy recovery, and the emotional side of perimenopause. This episode is validating, practical, and packed with real-life strategies for women who are “doing everything right” but still not feeling good.

In this episode, we cover:

• What GLP-1 microdosing actually looks like (and why it works)
• Why high-dose semaglutide/tirzepatide creates the side effects women fear
• Reversing food noise, cravings, emotional eating, and insulin resistance
• Why perimenopause makes blood sugar regulation so hard
• How hysterectomy, low estrogen, and thyroid patterns affect weight
• The difference between weight loss dosing vs longevity/maintenance dosing
• How to prevent muscle loss while on GLP-1s
• Why protein, fiber, and resistance training matter more than the dose
• The emotional side of midlife, body changes, and “doing everything right”
• Jacquie's current peptide stack (GLP-1 microdose + tesamorelin/ipamorelin + NAD)
• The myth-busting conversation: GLP-1 safety, long-term data, heart benefits, and more
• Why women need both metabolic support and nervous system regulation
• How to know when your GLP-1 dose is too high

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the incredible Dr. Dean Jones, DC, founder of FLOA Protocols and one of my favorite voices in the peptide space.

We’re going deep into GLP-1s, microdosing, fasting, and metabolic repair… but we’re also talking about the heart behind it all: mindset, spiritual growth, and finding balance while healing your metabolism.

Dr. Jones shares his personal story of weight gain, loss, and recovery; how he created his FLOA Fasting Method; and why true metabolic healing starts long before the scale starts moving. We also unpack the truth about GLP-1s, why microdosing can be a game-changer, and how to avoid the trap of “functional starvation” that so many women fall into.

In this episode, I cover:

• What “metabolically healed” really means for women in midlife

• The benefits of gentle weekly dosing vs. high-dose “shock and drop” methods

• Dr. Jones’ FLOA Protocol and how it blends fasting with metabolic healing

• How fasting builds resilience and mental clarity

• The key labs to request: fasting insulin, C-peptide, CRP, ESR, thyroid panel, and A1C

• Why undereating can mimic hypothyroidism (and tank your energy!)
