Peptalk: Peptides Unpacked

#39 From Skeptic to Believer: Dr. Stella (a Pharmacist) Unpacks Peptides & Menopause

Menopause can sneak up as a thousand “small” problems that somehow add up to feeling unlike yourself:  * low energy,  * poor sleep,  * rising inflammation,  * cravings that feel louder than your willpower,  * and a body that no longer responds to the old playbook.  We sit down with Stella, a pharmacist and natural hormone practitioner, to talk about peptides for menopause with a clear priority: safety, sourcing, and realistic expectations over hype.  In this episode, you'll learn Stella's top 3 peptides for menopause and why they work so well: BPC-157 / TB-500, Sermorelin, GLP1 / GIP Did you know there's a special add-on you can choose when purchasing your GLP1 / GIP through our recommended telemedicine company? Most people choose B12 because of familiarity but the other two options are fantastic too. We break L-carnitine and Glycine down so you can make the most educated decision.   Are you still on the fence? This gives you a grounded way to choose one next step, not a whole new personality. Or maybe you need to know what peptide to add next? Your answers are inside.  Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us what menopause symptom you most want to solve first.

BONUS: Feel Like You're On an Island? Not Here - with Hali Laricey

For many entrepreneurs, the journey can be lonely. We often hear how people feel like they're on an island. Not here. Not with Jessica, Dr. Kylie, and the team leaders around them. What is the support, community, and mentorship like after you join as an affiliate? If we can build a peptide business (without pharmaceutical license but offer these) you can too.  Hali Laricey joins us to tell the truth about her first reaction to the opportunity: “yeah, maybe not.”  Her hesitation wasn’t about ambition, it was about lacking good information and getting burned by expensive, hard-to-follow oral peptide protocols that made compliance tough for clients who needed help the most. As a functional wellness specialist and root cause thinker, she wants cutting-edge options, but she also wants solutions that feel ethical, sustainable, and realistic in day-to-day practice. We also break down what makes this model different for wellness entrepreneurs, virtual practitioners, and even complete beginners:  * you don’t have to be a doctor to participate,  * you’re not building on an island,  * and you’re backed by a team that shares resources openly.  We talk about the practical support system that comes with being an affiliate and joining our team. We also share the reality of what this company is and the powerful influence it's already having. We all love our Founder and CEO who is a biochemist and sole owner (no investors have been involved nor will there be).  So if you've been on the fence, get off it. Come join us and the rest of the community. What will an extra $500, $5000 or even $50,000 a month do for your life? Our goal is to change as many lives as possible, including our own.  Say yes and the only regret you'll have is that you didn't start sooner.  Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!

#38 Peptides that Help PMOS (Previously Known as PCOS)

A landmark Lancet paper officially renames PCOS to PMOS: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. That wording is a big deal, because it pulls the conversation away from “Do you have cysts?” and back to what so many of you have been trying to explain for years: this is about multiple hormones, blood sugar, inflammation, and a body that feels like it’s fighting you no matter how hard you try.  Inside this episode, we talk through what “endocrine” actually means in real life:  * thyroid,  * cortisol,  * vitamin D,  * metabolism and blood sugar * progesterone, estrogen, testosterone.  We also dig into why liver function matters for hormone clearance, and how being told “here’s birth control” or “here’s metformin” can miss the bigger picture.  If you’ve ever felt dismissed because your symptoms didn’t fit a neat checklist, the PMOS shift may feel like validation.  Now that you understand what PMOS actually means and how to treat it, what are the peptides that match the treatment protocol? Peptide therapy can be one of the best options for individuals who suffer from symptoms from PMOS:  * GLP-1/GIP (terzepatide)  * Glutathione  * MOTs-C Finally, we answer the question people keep asking about GLP-1s and other peptides: “How long do I need to be on it?” and why microdosing long term can be a smart, normal choice when your body doesn’t make enough GLP-1 in the first place.  If this helped you think differently about PMOS, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find accurate peptide and women’s health information.

#37 Your Thyroid Labs Explained — And the Peptides That Can Actually Help

If you've ever looked at your thyroid labs and felt completely lost — or been told your numbers are "normal" but you still feel terrible — this episode is for you. Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie break down the thyroid from top to bottom, literally. Using a three-tier framework, they walk through exactly what your TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 numbers mean from a functional perspective — and which peptides target each level of dysfunction. Pull out your labs. This one is worth listening to twice. What's covered: * Why TSH is actually a pituitary hormone — not a thyroid hormone — and why that changes everything * The functional lab ranges for TSH (1.8–3), Free T4 (1.0–1.5), and Free T3 (3–4) that most doctors aren't using * Semax and Selank nasal sprays for pituitary support, brain fog, anxiety, and focus * BPC-157 and TB-500 for thyroid cell healing and Hashimoto's support * Why your gut and liver determine whether T4 converts to T3 — and what to do about it * Glutathione as a liver support alternative to coffee enemas * Jess's personal experience using Semax with a 20-year Hashimoto's diagnosis Who this episode is for: Anyone with thyroid labs from the last 10 years, anyone diagnosed with Hashimoto's, anyone who fits the symptoms but hasn't been diagnosed, and practitioners looking to replace complicated supplement protocols with targeted peptide stacks.
