122. You Don't Have to Be Sick Enough to Want to Feel Better

Peptides and GLP medications can be life changing, but they are not magic. They amplify what is already happening in your body, which is why your lifestyle, metabolic health, and expectations matter more than ever.In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Michelle Kilduff, a GLP + peptide performance coach, to bridge the gap between “getting the prescription” and actually getting lasting results. Michelle breaks down what peptides and GLPs do, why so many people stall or rebound, and the missing education piece that leaves people confused about dosing, reconstitution, side effects, and sustainable body composition change.They talk about why peptides can be an incredible tool when used responsibly, but also why this is the season to tighten up foundations like nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress, not relax them. Michelle also addresses the shame and secrecy that can come with using GLPs and peptides, and invites listeners to get informed, ask questions, and seek professional guidance so they are not white knuckling the process alone.In this episode, you’ll hear: What a peptide and GLP performance coach actually does  Why peptides and GLPs are not a “magic injection”  The biggest gap in the industry: lack of education and support  Why poor metabolic health and low quality lifestyle get amplified on peptides  What went wrong with the GLP boom and how to do it differently now  Common pitfalls: adverse effects, unrealistic expectations, rebound weight gain  Why strength training, protein, sleep, and lifestyle fundamentals still matter  How to reduce shame and make informed, empowered decisionsConnect with Michelle:Instagram: @michelle.kilduff (she can guide you toward quality peptide education and options through the link in her bio)Michelle’s websiteLet us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: [email protected] out more about my therapy private practice:[email protected]...
