GLP-1, Peptides, and the Midlife Metabolism Mess No One Prepares You For|334

If you're exhausted, craving everything, lifting weights, and still wondering why nothing is changing… this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, an ER physician who left traditional medicine to focus on what actually helps women over 40 feel better: metabolic health, hormones, and peptides. We talk about what peptides really are (no, not steroids), why GLP-1s cracked the door open, and how midlife women can use these tools safely to support energy, sleep, recovery, muscle, and brain health without shortcuts or sketchy internet nonsense. Today's conversation is not about biohacking. It's about gaining clarity for women who are tired of being told "everything looks normal."
