Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with Brandy Buskow -- FDN practitioner, health coach, EFT practitioner, and hypnotherapist -- to explore how GLP-1s can support metabolic healing, mental health, and long-term behavior change when paired with strong foundations. Brandy shares her personal journey through lifelong weight struggles, gut dysfunction, celiac disease, trauma, and chronic stress, and how GLP-1 therapy helped quiet food noise, improve insulin resistance, stabilize mood, and restore her relationship with food and movement. In this episode, we cover: Brandy’s lifelong history with weight cycling, food noise, and emotional eating The role of childhood trauma, stress, and adverse life events in autoimmune disease and resistant weight gain How celiac disease, malabsorption, and nutrient deficiencies contributed to cravings and metabolic dysfunction What GLP-1s actually changed for Brandy—beyond weight loss (blood pressure, anxiety, insulin, energy, inflammation) Why slow, low-and-steady fat loss supported long-term healing and muscle preservation Ozempic vs. Mounjaro: dosing progression and real-world metabolic outcomes GLP-1s and gut health: microbiome effects, motility concerns, and symptom management The importance of foundations: sleep, protein, hydration, bowel regularity, stress regulation, and movement Rebuilding a healthy relationship with food after years of restriction and diet dogma Using therapy tools like EMDR, EFT, hypnotherapy, and dietitian support alongside peptides GLP-1s, brain health, cardiovascular risk, and emerging research on dementia prevention Reducing shame around peptide use and modeling health behaviors for children Why mindset work is critical for success on GLP-1s—and what happens after the weight loss phase Connect with Brandy Buskow!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Nurse Jacquie Anderson -- women’s health RN, GLP-1 educator, and early adopter of peptides. Jacquie has been on GLP-1s for 3 years, both personally and clinically, and she brings simple, grounded, myth-busting wisdom for women navigating midlife metabolism, weight changes, inflammation, anxiety, cravings, hysterectomy recovery, and the emotional side of perimenopause. This episode is validating, practical, and packed with real-life strategies for women who are “doing everything right” but still not feeling good. In this episode, we cover: What GLP-1 microdosing actually looks like (and why it works) Why high-dose semaglutide/tirzepatide creates the side effects women fear Reversing food noise, cravings, emotional eating, and insulin resistance Why perimenopause makes blood sugar regulation so hard How hysterectomy, low estrogen, and thyroid patterns affect weight The difference between weight loss dosing vs longevity/maintenance dosing How to prevent muscle loss while on GLP-1s Why protein, fiber, and resistance training matter more than the dose The emotional side of midlife, body changes, and “doing everything right” Jacquie's current peptide stack (GLP-1 microdose + tesamorelin/ipamorelin + NAD) The myth-busting conversation: GLP-1 safety, long-term data, heart benefits, and more Why women need both metabolic support and nervous system regulation How to know when your GLP-1 dose is too high Connect with Nurse Jaqcuie!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the incredible Dr. Dean Jones, DC, founder of FLOA Protocols and one of my favorite voices in the peptide space. We’re going deep into GLP-1s, microdosing, fasting, and metabolic repair… but we’re also talking about the heart behind it all: mindset, spiritual growth, and finding balance while healing your metabolism. Dr. Jones shares his personal story of weight gain, loss, and recovery; how he created his FLOA Fasting Method; and why true metabolic healing starts long before the scale starts moving. We also unpack the truth about GLP-1s, why microdosing can be a game-changer, and how to avoid the trap of “functional starvation” that so many women fall into. In this episode, I cover: What “metabolically healed” really means for women in midlife The benefits of gentle weekly dosing vs. high-dose “shock and drop” methods Dr. Jones’ FLOA Protocol and how it blends fasting with metabolic healing How fasting builds resilience and mental clarity The key labs to request: fasting insulin, C-peptide, CRP, ESR, thyroid panel, and A1C Why undereating can mimic hypothyroidism (and tank your energy!)

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I got to sit down with the incredible Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer . Bria is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer, who specializes in female hormones, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos. Together, we dive deep into the real talk about perimenopause, the subtle signals our bodies send us, and how we can use functional nutrition and lifestyle tools to support our hormones naturally. In this episode, Bria and I talk about: How tuning in to your body’s cues can help you understand what your hormones are trying to tell you. Why ignoring those whispers often leads to burnout and imbalance. How peptides fit into the bigger picture of hormone health. Bria’s thoughts on supporting hormone balance through lifestyle and targeted therapies. Why exercise needs to evolve with your hormones, and what that actually looks like. How to shift from punishing workouts to movement that nourishes your body. The foundational habits that help your hormones thrive (sleep, nutrition, stress management, and gut health). Bria’s approach to helping women regain energy, clarity, and confidence in midlife. If you’ve ever felt lost in the chaos of perimenopause (exhausted, irritable, or just not like “you” anymore), this conversation is going to feel like a breath of fresh air! Connect with Bria Gadd!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today's episode I’m sharing the inspiring story of my dear friend Celina Abel, who has been on a GLP1 since early 2021. Celina came to the GLP1 after years of struggling with thyroid confusion, insulin resistance, PCOS, inflammation, and extreme fatigue. She was taking a complex cocktail of medications, struggling with daily naps, and feeling hopeless about her health. Her journey with GLP1s has been transformative, helping her regain energy, reduce inflammation, manage insulin resistance, and reclaim her life... all while raising five kids and running a mini farm! In this episode, we discuss: How Celina discovered GLP1s and her early experience navigating multiple doctors The dramatic improvements in energy, mood, inflammation, and insulin resistance How GLP1s changed her relationship with food, satiety, and portion sizes Misconceptions about GLP1s as “just a weight loss drug” and what’s really happening in the body Her tips for women considering GLP1s for PCOS, metabolic issues, or low energy Celina’s story shows that GLP1s aren’t just about weight. They can be life-changing for overall health, energy, and metabolic wellness.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! Today’s episode is an inspiring conversation with my friend Daniel "Boone" Frenzel about his journey using peptides to lose 45 pounds, regain energy, and build sustainable health habits. Daniel is a former business owner, currently working as an Area Sales Manager for a National Brand and managing a 3 million dollar territory. A father of two accomplished young adults, a recovering addict and an advocate for Men’s Mental Health Awareness, Daniel has been on a mission to live a life that defies the odds stacked against him since receiving a mental health diagnosis back in 2015. Specifically interested in studying the direct correlation between diet/exercise and dealing with clinical depression from a more natural approach, Daniel has been able to stabilize his mood and avoid any episodes in over 5 years through the use of supplements, rest, diet and exercise and the introduction of peptides most recently without anti-depressants and mood stabilizers that had been prescribed in the past. In this episode, Daniel shares how a microdose of GLP-1, GIP, B12, NAD+, and later BPC-157 and TB500 helped him: Reduce sugar cravings and “food noise” Maintain lean muscle while losing fat Boost energy, recovery, and mood stability Build lasting habits with diet, exercise, and supplementation He also discusses his disciplined approach, the importance of lifestyle alongside peptides, and his next goals: reaching his target weight and enjoying active life with his family.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today's episode, we’re talking about three major benefits you can get from using a GLP-1s beyond weight loss. You’ll see that GLP-1s can help regulate your blood sugar, calm inflammation, and support your liver so you feel better day-to-day. BENEFIT #1: Better Glucose & Insulin Regulation How GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, which means steadier blood sugar after meals The impact on insulin sensitivity and long-term metabolic health BENEFIT #2: Lower Inflammation My personal story: how tirzepatide helped relieve my hip pain and plantar fasciitis What the research is showing about inflammation markers improving on GLP-1 therapy BENEFIT #3: Improved Liver Health How GLP-1s can lower liver enzymes like ALT, AST, and GGT The link between fatty liver, perimenopause, and insulin resistance What early research says about GLP-1s as a potential therapy for NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) 🔗 Resources: 1.⁠ Effects of semaglutide on beta cell function and glycaemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial — https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28526920/ 2.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today's episode, I have my very first guest on the podcast. And truly, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to join me than my colleague, mentor, and dear friend, Tina Haupert , founder of Carrots ‘N’ Cake and a fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner! Tina’s story is powerful. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in her early 30s and spent years trying everything (from biologics to supplements to lifestyle changes) yet still struggled to find real, lasting relief. That is, until she discovered peptides . In this episode, Tina and I talk about: Her long health journey with ulcerative colitis and why conventional medicine wasn’t enough The first peptides she tried (KPV, BPC-157, TB-500) and how they supported her gut healing and inflammation How peptides helped her bounce back faster from flares and shift her focus to strength and body composition Why microdosing GLP-1s can be such a game-changer for women in midlife The real-life results she and her clients are seeing—better recovery, fewer cravings, more energy, and reduced inflammation Why peptides should always be paired with healthy foundations like nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress management A behind-the-scenes look at something we’re building together: the upcoming Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course ✨ Connect with Tina Haupert: Instagram: @carrotsncake Website: www.carrotsncake.com Links & Resources: 🔗 Learn more or order peptides at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elliemd.com/JenniferWoodwardNutrition⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎯 Take the Peptides Quiz to find out what may work for your body: ⁠https://connect.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/widget/form/CoNzXJkbFdCpgo1hWPTN⁠ Enroll in the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and get $100 off for podcast subscribers: ⁠https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPJENNIFER⁠ 🧬 Want to pair GLP-1s with functional lab testing? ⁠https://learn.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/invitation⁠ 📩 Grab The Body Edit Guide here for full protocols, dosing, labs, and more: ⁠https://stan.store/jenniferwoodwardnutrition/p/get-the-body-edit⁠ ‼️ Disclaimer ‼️ This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast, my little 80s babes! Today we’re digging into two of the most fascinating (and fun to say!) peptides: Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin . Both of these peptides help your body make more growth hormone , which naturally declines in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. And since growth hormone is the secret sauce for lean muscle, fat loss, skin, sleep, and recovery , this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. In this episode, I break down: Why tesamorelin is especially powerful for midlife belly fat and body composition The “thermostat vs. tap” analogy to help you understand their unique roles How ipamorelin supports deep sleep, recovery, and mood—without messing with other hormones What the research really says about fat loss, muscle, and brain health How these peptides can be used together for even better results The importance of healthy foundations (protein, lifting, sleep, sun, steps) before adding peptides 📘 Resources Mentioned: 1.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! Today’s episode is all about the five peptides making a real difference for women in midlife. If your jeans or Lululemons don’t fit the same, your sex drive has gone MIA, and your sleep is a total mess... you are not alone. This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed solutions for real symptoms, without the fluff or shame. In this episode, I walk you through the top five peptides that are changing the game for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond: GLP-1s (like semaglutide and tirzepatide): how they support weight loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and even protect bone health. PT-141: the libido peptide that works through the brain (not just blood flow). Sermorelin: Beau’s favorite peptide for deeper sleep, better recovery, and lean muscle support. GHK-Cu: the copper peptide that boosts collagen, regenerates skin, and even restores hair pigment. BPC-157: the healing peptide for gut health, inflammation, and faster recovery from injuries. 🔗 Articles: https://dom-pubs.pericles-prod.literatumonline.com/doi/10.1111/dom.15728 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26043228/ Links & Resources: 🔗 Learn more or order peptides at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elliemd.com/JenniferWoodwardNutrition⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎯 Take the Peptides Quiz to find out what may work for your body: ⁠https://connect.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/widget/form/CoNzXJkbFdCpgo1hWPTN⁠ Enroll in the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and get $100 off for podcast subscribers: ⁠https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPJENNIFER⁠ 🧬 Want to pair GLP-1s with functional lab testing? ⁠https://learn.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/invitation⁠ 📩 Grab The Body Edit Guide here for full protocols, dosing, labs, and more: ⁠https://stan.store/jenniferwoodwardnutrition/p/get-the-body-edit⁠ ‼️ Disclaimer ‼️ This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
