Not what you should do.  I'm sharing my own experience as a 48-year-old woman who's been on peptides for over a decade, working with a doctor, getting labs, and taking the smallest doses that work for me. I am not a doctor, and nothing in this episode or these show notes is medical advice. Peptides are not FDA-approved for anti-aging use. Before you take anything, talk to a qualified medical provider who'll actually look at your labs and co-create a protocol with you. If you click through to either provider link above, you are making your own decision about what to do with your body. You are agreeing that I am not liable for any outcome, side effect, or interaction that comes from a product you purchase from them. Figure out what's right for your body with a doctor.  The choice, as always, is yours. Stay Subscribed… Part 2 is Coming Five more peptides, more reasons I use them, and the ones I'm about to start.

This episode is what I'm actually on at 48. What each one does. Why I'm on it. And what I've come to believe about doing this in a culture that tells women to wait for studies that aren't coming. In This Episode: * The first topical peptide I ever tried that made me wonder if my skin time-traveled * Why people aren't actually judging the peptide... they're judging the wanting * The hormone peptide I've been on for 10 years and would never give up * The peptide I add when I need to be a fucking machine * The peptide that cuts my recovery from aggressive treatments in half * Why I'm not waiting 16 years for a study the NIH hasn't even funded yet * The peptide everyone's gonna fight me on (no, not Ozempic, stop) * The actually-simple reason I do all of this (it's not what you think) * The two words for any provider who hands you a script without looking at your labs * Why women are allowed to do whatever the fuck we want with our bodies, no permission required FOLLOW CYNTHIA GARCIA Instagram: @iamcynthiagarcia TikTok: @iamcynthiagarcia Facebook: @iamcynthiagarcia Website: www.cynthiagarcia.com [https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/] REWRITTEN BEAUTY Instagram: @wearerewritten Facebook: @wearerewritten Website: www.rewrittenbeauty.com [https://rewrittenbeauty.com/] INSTITUTE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL NUTRITION Instagram: @transformationalnutrition Facebook: @transformationalnutrition Website: www.transformationalnutrition.com [https://transformationalnutrition.com/] #peptides #peptidesforwomen #womenover40 #perimenopause #idliketothankmyself

I’m Microdosing a GLP-1 to Stay Hot AF at 48

I'm microdosing a GLP-1 to stay hot AF at 48. Not for weight loss... for what it's doing to my face, which now looks better at 48 than it did at 38. Here's the conversation about GLP-1s nobody is actually having. Most women on GLP-1s end up with Ozempic face. The 3-step Collagen Defense system I built BEFORE I ever started microdosing tirzepatide is the reason I'm not one of them. Today I'm walking you through the actual science, why I picked the smallest possible dose every other week, the full protocol, and the part the doctors won't say out loud.

In this episode you'll discover: * The clinical trial happening RIGHT NOW that suggests we may have just found the closest thing to a fountain of youth (if you know how to dose it) * Why I'm on tirzepatide and what that has to do with the Ozempic face horror stories * The two completely opposite things a GLP-1 is doing to your skin at the same time (and which one wins is entirely up to you) * The exact dose I take and why "smallest possible, every other week" is the only protocol that protects your face * The 3-step Collagen Defense system I built before I ever started dosing for anti-aging * The bonus layer to add if you've got the resources and access * The first time anyone ever told me "you don't need that"... and what it has to do with the prescription I just picked up * A take on the people who call taking a GLP-1 "cheating" This is for women over 40 considering a GLP-1, already on one, or anyone who heard the horror stories about Ozempic face and wanted the actual science.

I'm 48 And Aging Gracefully Is BS

I'm 48 and I'm done aging gracefully. I think the whole concept is just a nice way of telling women to disappear, and I'm done pretending we're aging well by being told to fade. The most honest conversation about anti-aging and what it means to stay hot AF after 40. At seven years old, on a two-lane road in Appalachia, I watched a group of women laugh at a stranger in red lipstick because she didn't know she was supposed to “age gracefully." I'm 48 now, and I've spent 40 years wondering why nobody on that dirt road said something. Why nobody is the spokesperson for women who refuse to fade. So I'm doing it now. This episode is for the woman in the back who's been clapping politely for a decade while everyone around her disappeared quietly. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan?

They're salt on a wound. * The bigger, louder, more audacious life I'm refusing to age gracefully FOR FOLLOW CYNTHIA GARCIA Instagram: @iamcynthiagarcia TikTok: @iamcynthiagarcia Facebook: @iamcynthiagarcia Website: www.cynthiagarcia.com [https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/] REWRITTEN BEAUTY Instagram: @wearerewritten Facebook: @wearerewritten Website: www.rewrittenbeauty.com [https://rewrittenbeauty.com/] INSTITUTE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL NUTRITION Instagram: @transformationalnutrition Facebook: @transformationalnutrition Website: www.transformationalnutrition.com [https://transformationalnutrition.com/]

The Real Reason I Have More Pretty Privilege at 48 Than 28

I have more pretty privilege at 48 than I ever had at 28. And the world has opinions about that. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz [https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/quiz]!

[https://rewrittenbeauty.com/] The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. I learned about pretty privilege at twelve years old, dumpster diving for eyeshadow in Appalachia. For 30 years the experiment ran beautifully. Then I turned 40 and the whole game changed.  This episode is about what pretty privilege actually looks like after 40... the cost, the judgment, the body that switched teams, and why I'm not apologizing for any of it. In this episode: * The dumpster experiment I ran at twelve that proved pretty privilege was real * Why at 28 it's "she looks great" but at 48 it's a congressional hearing * Pretty privilege at 25 is a lottery ticket. At 48 it's a business plan. * The social cost that every woman over 40 notices but nobody talks about * My hormones held a corporate merger I did not approve (and collagen quiet quit) * My response to Betty in the comments who thinks I forgot to mention my plastic surgery * Why "age gracefully" is just a polite way of telling women to disappear * The one line my twelve-year-old self needed to hear (and why I'm saying it now at 48) FOLLOW CYNTHIA GARCIA Instagram: @iamcynthiagarcia TikTok: @iamcynthiagarcia Facebook: @iamcynthiagarcia Website: www.cynthiagarcia.com [https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/] REWRITTEN BEAUTY Instagram: @wearerewritten Facebook: @wearerewritten Website: www.rewrittenbeauty.com [https://rewrittenbeauty.com/] INSTITUTE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL NUTRITION Instagram: @transformationalnutrition Facebook: @transformationalnutrition Website: www.transformationalnutrition.com [https://transformationalnutrition.com/] #idliketothankmyself #hotafter40 #beautyover40 #skincareover40 #womenover40 #stayinghot #antiaging #skincareroutine #vanity #cynthiagarcia #rewrittenbeauty #perimenopause #hormones #beautyafter40 #hotaf
