270. Peptides: Who? Why? & When? with Dr. Jannine Krause

Peptides are getting attention for a reason. These small protein fragments send signals in your body that can support healing, muscle repair, immune function, and hormone balance. But jumping in too early can backfire. You're reminded that a solid foundation matters first—clean nutrition, enough protein, and balanced hormones set the stage before peptides can actually help. You'll get a clear view of how different peptides work and when they make sense. From BPC-157 for injury recovery to thymus alpha-1 for immune support, each one has a specific role. You also learn why proper sourcing, dosing, and cycling are critical to avoid side effects and get real results. This is about using peptides the right way, not chasing shortcuts. When you combine the right tools with strong fundamentals, you give your body what it needs to recover, perform, and stay resilient long term. In this Episode, You'll Learn: * Categories and Uses of Peptides * Sources and Regulation of Peptides * Nutritional Foundations and Protein Intake * Choosing the Right Peptides and Brands * Blends and Cycling of Peptides * Injection Techniques and Safety * Long-Term Effects and Side Effects About Dr. Jannine Krause: Dr. Jannine Krause is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist and host of The Health Fix Podcast who helps athletic women over 40 optimize mental and physical performance.

You might be doing everything right and still feel tired, foggy, or out of balance. One missing piece could be iodine.

268. Awaken Your Purpose, Elevate Your Leadership! Interview with Suzanne Adams

In this uplifting conversation, Suzanne Adams joins the Happy Whole You podcast to share her powerful spiritual awakening story and how it led her to support heart-centered leaders and purpose-driven entrepreneurs. She describes the moment in 2013 when "time froze," catalyzing a journey from numbing and surface-level happiness into deep soul alignment, self-love, and quantum manifestation. Suzanne and Dr. Anna Marie explore playing by two "rule books" in life—the limiting matrix vs. the quantum field of possibility—how to recognize which one you're in, and practical ways to shift into alignment, purpose, and energetic expansion. They also dive into Suzanne's bigger vision: her books reaching millions, Girl Awakened becoming a film, teaching energetics in schools, and leading mass activations in arenas around the world. Key point: * Suzanne helps heart-centered leaders and entrepreneurs align with soul and prosperity * A 2013 spiritual awakening (the clock "freezing" at 4:59) shifted her from numbing to purpose * She moved from surface-level happiness and people-pleasing into deep self-love and healing * Discovery of soul work, retreats, and quantum physics transformed her life * Feeling stuck often means being trapped in the mind instead of listening to the heart * We choose between the rule book of limitation (matrix) and rule book of alignment (quantum field) * Your baseline frequency (how you usually feel/live) can be consciously upgraded * Emotional "activation" from others is a key manifestation tool and sign of your path * Doubt ("Who do you think you are?") is normal turbulence at every new level—keep going * Suzanne's vision: her books (Girl Awakened, Quantum Vibes), a film adaptation, big arenas, and teaching energetics in schools Connect with Suzanne Adams: Instagram: www.instagram.com/suzanneadamsinc/ [https://www.instagram.com/suzanneadamsinc/] Books: - Quantum Vibes: https://amzn.to/4sFHWfs [https://amzn.to/4sFHWfs] - Girl Awakened: www.amazon.com/dp/B08GG2DMVQ [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GG2DMVQ] TEDx Talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RuCfTiCDjs&t=14s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RuCfTiCDjs&t=14s] Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com [http://www.happywholeyou.com/] / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou [https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou] Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com [http://www.drannamarie.com/] Instagram: @happywholeyou [https://www.instagram.com/happywholeyou/] Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You [https://www.facebook.com/happywholeyou] LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank [https://www.linkedin.com/in/annamariefrankhappywholeyou/] Venmo: @happywholeyou [https://account.venmo.com/u/happywholeyou]
