The Rever Rundown with Mimi Deal
Some of my favorite conversations start in the DMs, and this one is no exception. For this episode of The Rever Rundown, I sat down with Dr. Jason Pencek. He’s a chiropractor, nurse practitioner, and founder of Fountain Wellness in Chicago. He's one of the most generous voices I've come across in the peptide and functional medicine space, and the conversation that unfolded was one of the most candid and clinically rich I've had on the show so far. We talked about Dr. Pencek's path from nursing to nurse practitioner, and the frustration with symptom-based medicine that shaped his approach. We went deep on peptides and why he still describes them as a sprinkle on the cake, never the cake itself. Labs first. Hormones, iron, gut, inflammation. Then peptides. Then the more advanced tools. We also talked about IV therapy in real clinical practice, the hormone and thyroid conversations so many women are still being denied, the gut work that has to underpin Hashimoto's care, and the responsibility providers carry as patients increasingly arrive with AI-generated recommendations in hand. If there's a single takeaway, it's the one Dr. Pencek offered at the end, and the one that underpins how we practice at Rever: do the lab work, and work with a practitioner who actually knows you. Whether you're a patient or a provider, this one is for you.
