How I Got Into Peptides & Why Every Woman Should Know About Them

I'm finally sharing my full peptide journey: how it started after weaning Callahan, why MOTS-c was my first, and the exact stack I'm using right now for energy, skin, and longevity. The peptide world is still so bro-dominated, and women are being left out of a conversation that could genuinely change how we move through fertility, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. In this episode, I'm breaking down why peptides aren't supplements, why cycling matters, and how your protocol should shift across every season of womanhood. I'm also opening up about postpartum anxiety, the tools I've built inside The LongHer Life (including the HerStack Planner and motherhood room), and giving you a first look at the high-potency peptide serum I'm formulating for women's skin.
