1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Peptides are everywhere right now. Weight loss. Muscle. Recovery. Energy. Skin. Longevity. Suddenly everyone seems to have a “stack” they swear by. But how do you know what is actually safe, what is experimental, where your peptides are really coming from, or whether the protocol you saw online makes any sense for a woman in midlife? In this episode, I sit down with peptide coach Stephanie Gambetta, founder of The Loop Way, to cut through some of the noise. We talk about the huge difference between using peptides strategically and simply throwing more things at your body because someone online said they worked. We also get into GLP-1s, hormone therapy, mitochondrial health, beauty peptides, research peptides, dosing mistakes, and some of the peptide strategies Stephanie is using with women in midlife. And there are definitely a few peptides in this conversation that made me think, “Okay, I need to try that.” In This Episode, We Talk About: Why peptides have suddenly exploded in popularity Research peptides versus compounded peptides Why a certificate of analysis may not tell you everything How to think about peptide quality and sourcing Why your hormones should be part of the conversation The problem with copying someone else’s peptide stack Why more GLP-1 is not always the answer What may be happening when weight loss suddenly stalls Why hunger is not necessarily something you want to eliminate completely Mitochondrial health and midlife energy Peptides for skin, hair, recovery, gut health, and muscle GHK-Cu and the growing interest in copper peptides Growth hormone peptides and why women may respond very differently Why blood work and body composition matter The peptide mistakes Stephanie sees women making most often Check out The Loop Way Book your FREE Hormone Strategy Call today! &amp;nbsp; Sponsors Get 20% off your Cozy Earth Bed Sheet with coupon code HORMONES Order your LMNT electrolytes today and get a FREE 8 pack of samples!
