  • Episode 31: The GLP-1 Crackdown, Microdosing, and the Future of Metabolic Health with Dr. Dean Jones

    Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! 

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dean Jones, and we’re diving into what’s really happening in the peptide and GLP-1 space right now. This is an important, timely conversation about regulation, safety, dosing, and why so much of the current GLP-1 messaging online is missing the bigger picture, especially for midlife women.

    We talk about the growing scrutiny around research peptides, why GLP-1s are under the microscope, and how fear-based headlines are creating confusion for patients. Dr. Jones explains the difference between aggressive weight-loss dosing and more conservative, long-term metabolic dosing, why microdosing is gaining traction, and how GLP-1s actually work in the brain and body beyond appetite suppression. If you’re trying to understand GLP-1s without hype (or panic), this episode brings clarity.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why GLP-1s are facing increased regulatory scrutiny
    • The difference between research peptides and prescription use
    • How misinformation is shaping public fear around GLP-1s
    • Why high dosing often backfires long-term
    • What microdosing GLP-1s is, and who it’s for
    • Appetite regulation vs true metabolic support
    • Food noise, weight regain, and brain signaling
    • Muscle loss concerns and how dosing impacts outcomes
    • Why lowest effective dose matters for sustainability
    • What the future of GLP-1 therapy may look like

  • Episode 29: Why Midlife Weight Loss Isn’t a Willpower Problem and What Actually Works with Jenelle Zingg

    Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

    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

  • Episode 28: Why Fat Loss Gets Harder in Perimenopause and What Actually Works with Connie Currie

    Welcome back to the Peptides for Women podcast!

    In this episode, I sit down with Connie Currie, integrative health practitioner, functional lab nerd, and strength-training advocate, to break down what actually works for midlife women who feel like they’re “doing everything right” but still aren’t seeing results.

    At 54 and still in perimenopause, Connie shares her personal journey with HRT, functional labs, peptides, and metabolic optimization, including how she healed a serious shoulder injury, reduced inflammation, improved body composition, and gained muscle while losing fat. All without sacrificing strength or foundational health!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How functional labs (HTMA, OAT, gut testing) guide smarter protocols
    • Connie’s peptide “wake-up call” after a serious shoulder injury
    • BPC-157 + TB-500 for tissue repair, inflammation, and gut healing
    • GLP-1/GIP peptides for insulin resistance, fat loss, and brain health
    • How Connie lost body fat and gained muscle at 54, with the data to prove it
    • The truth about muscle loss fears with GLP-1 peptides
    • Protein and fiber strategies that actually work (without eating all day)
    • How peptides fit into long-term metabolic and hormonal health, not vanity weight loss

  • Episode 27: How Peptides Help Women Over 35 Rebuild Energy Without Extreme Dieting with Tara Turnure

    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

  • Episode 26: Food Noise, Strength Training, and Using Peptides as a Tool in Midlife with Carrena Watts

    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
