Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women’s Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.
In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I are breaking down something a lot of people get wrong about peptides. We talk about why they don’t work the same for everyone, what your body actually needs to respond, and how to set yourself up so that the results you want aren’t just a shot in the dark. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with expensive protocols, confusing advice, or “miracle” fixes that don’t deliver, this episode is for you.
Key Highlights:
➡️ What peptides really are and why thinking of them as signals instead of magic fixes changes everything.
➡️Why two people taking the exact same peptide can experience completely different results.
➡️How your gut microbiome controls whether peptides can even communicate with your cells.
➡️The surprising ways inflammation can block your body from responding to peptides.
➡️The role of NRF2, the cellular “master switch,” in creating an environment your body can actually heal in.
➡️The order used to set the foundation before introducing peptides for lasting results.
➡️What "cell safety" really means and why your cells might be stuck in constant fight-or-flight mode without you even realizing it.
➡️The subtle, but powerful, changes women notice when their body finally starts working with them.
Key Takeaways:
“Two women can take the same peptide… One feels energized, stronger, clear-headed, younger in her body. The other feels… nothing.” -Kellie Lupsha
"The microbiome is the gatekeeper of our health... it will be on guard and help those peptides, those signals to be absorbed, interpreted, utilized, optimally."- Dr. Heidi
