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!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!
In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend and former client, Dayna Whitman, to talk about her inspiring journey with autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, and how peptides have given her back her quality of life.
Dayna opens up about living with ankylosing spondylitis, her struggle with pain and inflammation, and how introducing BPC-157 and a microdosed GLP-1 has helped her reduce inflammation, quiet food noise, and finally feel like herself again.
We also talk about:
How Dayna discovered her link between food sensitivities and inflammation
The dramatic difference she noticed after starting BPC-157
Why she added GLP-1 to her regimen — and how it changed her cravings for good
The “foundations” she sticks to daily: diet, sleep, movement, and sunlight
How peptides made her feel better than she has in over a decade
Encouragement for anyone hesitant to try peptides or afraid to step away from medication dependency
Dayna’s story is a testament to the power of self-advocacy, clean living, and finding the right tools to support your body’s healing process.

In this episode, I break down the confusing world of microdosing GLP-1s: those buzzy weight-loss and appetite-regulating peptides everyone’s whispering about. From 0.25 mg to 2.5 mg and everything in between, we’ll cover what the research says (and doesn’t), what experts are saying, why doses vary so wildly, and how to find your sweet spot. I also share my own experience using 2.5 mg of tirzepatide and what I see in my midlife clients using GLP-1s alongside protein, sunlight, minerals, and muscle-building routines.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women!
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!
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 the 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. By the end of this episode, 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.
In this episode, I break down:
BENEFIT #1: Better Glucose & Insulin Regulation
How GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, which means steadier blood sugar after meals
Why fewer post-meal spikes = fewer energy crashes (and fewer cravings)
The impact on insulin sensitivity and long-term metabolic health
BENEFIT #2: Lower Inflammation
The surprising connection between GLP-1s and reduced systemic 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
Why better liver function = less bloating, more energy, and smoother digestion
The link between fatty liver, perimenopause, and insulin resistance

Welcome back to Peptides for Women!
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

Welcome back to the 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:
What tesamorelin and ipamorelin actually do in your body (and how they’re different)
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
I’ll also share why I’m personally so excited to add tesamorelin into my own peptide stack, plus a few stories from clients and from my husband, Beau, who’s already seen incredible results with sermorelin.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women! In today’s episode, I’m addressing a question I get all the time: “Aren’t peptides cheating?”
If you’ve ever felt skeptical, curious, or even judgmental about using peptides like GLP-1s, this episode is for you. I break down the most common concerns I hear about peptides, especially GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and share why I believe these therapies are far more than just quick fixes. With insights from my background in functional nutrition and my own journey, I hope to offer a compassionate, science-based perspective on why peptides can be a powerful support (not a shortcut!) for women in midlife.
