Muscle isn't just for movement: it's your body's largest metabolic organ.

In this episode, we explore the science behind FIT, the peptide that helps your body maintain and rebuild muscle by communicating directly with its repair systems. Learn how FIT inhibits myostatin, activates mTOR, and uses cofactors like vitamin D and magnesium to restore your body's ability to synthesize muscle.

We'll discuss how this peptide differs from supplements, what kind of changes to expect in the first weeks and months, and why protecting muscle is the single most effective strategy for metabolic health and longevity.

This episode is science-heavy, systems-based, and practical, everything you need to finally understand what's happening in your body.

We've been taught that "good women" keep up with their Pap smears, mammograms, and hormone therapy. But what if those routines (sold as prevention) are actually creating stress in the body's terrain? In this episode, I break down how each of these pillars of women's healthcare functions on a biological level, what they miss, and how to reclaim your health sequence: drainage before detection, regulation before replacement, resilience before results. This is prevention through sovereignty, not compliance.
