144. Peptides: My Personal Experience, Results, and Why I'm Still Skeptical of GLP-1s

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal experience with several popular peptides, including PT-141, BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin. I'll walk you through why I decided to try them, what results I noticed, and where I believe they may have supported my recovery, training, and overall health.This isn't a conversation about finding a shortcut or chasing the latest health trend. As a nurse, health coach, endurance athlete, and mom of seven, I firmly believe that nutrition, strength training, sleep, recovery, and stress management are still the foundation of long-term health. Peptides may have a place, but they should never replace the basics.I also share my thoughts on GLP-1 medications and why I've remained cautious despite their growing popularity. While I understand why many people are interested in them, I have concerns about muscle preservation, long-term metabolic health, and relying on appetite suppression without addressing the underlying habits that drive health outcomes.If you've been curious about peptides, wondering whether they're worth exploring, or simply want to hear an honest discussion about recovery, performance, and longevity, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysNot all peptides work the same way, and individual results can vary significantly.Recovery still comes down to the fundamentals: nutrition, sleep, movement, hydration, and stress management.Preserving muscle mass should be a priority for anyone pursuing fat loss or long-term health.I share why I'm taking a cautious approach to GLP-1 medications and what concerns me most about their widespread use.Thank you for supporting my small business.
