    #33 Breaking Free from Addiction: Using Peptides to Support Lasting Recovery — with Samantha

    Addiction doesn’t live only in decisions. It shows up in the nervous system, the gut, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and the biochemical “noise” that can make cravings feel louder than logic.  With relapse rates still high and most people never receiving treatment, we wanted to open a bigger, more honest conversation about what recovery can look like when we support the body, not just the behavior. We’re joined by Samantha, a functional diagnostic practitioner who also brings something rarer:  lived experience with addiction, drug dealing,a SWAT raid, incarceration, treatment, long-term sobriety, and a later relapse that began with a culturally accepted “just have a glass of wine.” She breaks down how quickly alcohol can hijack sleep and mood, flare PCOS and panic, and quietly erode health while still feeling socially normal. We also discuss: why “high functioning” can hide real danger, why asking for help matters, and how community can be both a risk and a lifeline.Then we get practical. We dig into peptides and recovery support, including: Where tissue repair peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 fit, why GLP-1 style tools may reduce food noise for some people, and why expectations and dosing matter. We also cover foundational recovery supports like NAD, glutathione, and the lab markers that can flag liver strain, plus the non-negotiables: nutrition, movement, gut work, detox pathways, therapy, and a clear plan. If you’re curious about peptides for addiction recovery, alcohol recovery, and functional medicine strategies that make change more sustainable, this one is a must listen.  Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

    #32 Peptides for Hashimoto's and Athletic Performance - Chelsi's Regimen

    You can do “all the right things” and still feel like your body is fighting you. That’s why this Pep Talk conversation hits so hard: fitness and lifestyle coach Chelsi shares what changed when she stopped blaming willpower and started looking at biology, inflammation, and recovery.  After a bodybuilding season, she felt depleted, achy, and stuck, then learned she was dealing with Hashimoto’s. From there, she rebuilt from the inside out with better data, better habits, and carefully chosen peptide support. We talk through the real-world path most people are curious about but rarely hear explained clearly:  Gut health work as a foundation, what it means to learn blood work, and why calories in calories out can fall apart when stress, thyroid signaling, and cortisol are driving the wheel. Chelsea also breaks down her experience with peptide therapy as an elite athlete competing in Hyrox. We get honest about side effects, dosing, and why the “best” choice is the one your body tolerates and responds to.  Then we shift into high performance and longevity. If you're an athlete wanting to feel your best in all decades past your 20s, you need to know what Chelsi takes and what she recommends.  For athletes, pay attention to:  Mitochondrial support like NAD+, MOTS-c Popular repair peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500. To get lean and clear the all the noise in your brain, think GLP/GIP combination. If you’ve been struck with Hashimoto's and/or are wanting to be a participant in competitions like Hyrox, this is a must listen to episode. What peptides do elite athletes use and what would the everyday runner use? We have your answers. With this episode you’ll leave with clarity and next steps for all levels of athletic ability.  Know an athlete who needs to tune in? Share this with them. We'd also be very grateful for a review.  Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it! Connect with Jess at B2BwithJess.com/peptides or on Instagram @jessb.talkshealth.

    #31 Having Correct Expectations for Your Peptide Therapy

    Peptides are having a moment, but the real story isn’t hype, it’s timing. We keep hearing the same thing from friends, patients, and practitioners: “I started a peptide three days ago and nothing happened.” That gap between expectation and biology is where people waste money, quit too early, or chase higher doses they don’t need. So we sit down and make timelines real, using plain language and the exact questions flooding our texts and DMs. Real Expectations for different peptides:  GLP-1 / GIP : appetite changes can show up before fat loss, why “still hungry” doesn’t mean failure, and what sustainable weight loss actually looks like when you’re pairing peptide therapy with solid foundations.Microdosing verse Standard Dosing and how microdosing often targets inflammation, cardiovascular and brain health, and whole-body benefits that don’t always announce themselves on day one (or day 30). BPC-157 for acute versus chronic injuries (pain relief vs true tissue repair)GHK-Cu for collagen and gradual skin or hair improvements Thymosin alpha-1 (TA1) for long-game immune regulation PT-141 for sexual wellness where a “one try” test can completely mislead you. Outside of having realistic expectations, we share a bit about cycling, reassessing, and why consistency often beats speed. If you want peptide results that last, start by understanding the timeline, then build the lifestyle that lets the signal work. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s ready to quit too soon, and leave a review so more people can find straightforward peptide education. Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!

We’re Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie, and we’re pulling liver health out of the background and putting it where it belongs: at the center of your energy, metabolism, and hormone balance. If you’ve heard glutathione called the “master antioxidant” but never understood what that actually means, we make it simple and practical. Inside today's episode:  Glutathione matters for detoxification and oxidative stress How a supported liver can change the way you feel day to day The liver's impact on your hormones: directly converting free T4 into free T3 (thyroid hormones) We also get real about bile flow, gallbladder issues, and why removing the gallbladder may stop the pain while leaving the root liver burden untouched.  You’ll hear our go-to liver support strategies and when glutathione supplementation or subcutaneous glutathione injections may make the most sense. Grab your labs too because we scan the metabolic panel for ALT and AST and what ranges can signal liver support is needed.  Love what you're hearing on the podcast?

    #29 Successful Weight Loss Journeys Take Time and You Will Plateau - Taryn Shares Her Journey

    Nearly every person living in a larger body has heard some version of “just eat less and move more.” Then life hits: trauma, pregnancy complications, sleep loss, chronic stress, autoimmune symptoms, and a healthcare system that sometimes reduces everything to a number.  In this episode we sit down with Taryn to tell the story that usually gets skipped and to explain why peptides and GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide can be a legitimate medical tool. Taryn grew up with abuse, neglect, and food scarcity, then carried the ripple effects into adulthood while still showing up as an athlete, a volunteer firefighter, and a mom of four.  She walks us through her journey of rapid weight gain after bed rest during pregnancy, bariatric surgery and complications, and what it felt like to reach over 400 pounds in adulthood when she was once a college athlete.  Then neurological symptoms hit and at one point, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As fast as a diagnosis was given, it was revoked - a moment of medical dismissal that left her terrified and depressed. A second opinion, proper imaging, and real follow-through finally put her on steadier ground. From there, we get practical about medical weight management and metabolic health:  starting GLP-1 therapy under supervision, why protein, fiber, and hydration matter, how plateaus and normal weight fluctuations work, and why slow progress is often the sustainable path. We also talk about inflammation and why Taryn feels these peptides helped her MS flares become less intense, plus what to consider if you’re curious about other peptides like BPC-157 or thymosin alpha-1, including contraindications and the importance of trusted medical channels. If you’re ready to explore peptides responsibly and build real foundations that last, connect with us, share this with someone who needs a new narrative, and subscribe so you don’t miss what comes next.

    #28 Peptides to Help with Autoimmunity, Lyme, Fibromyalgia with Dr. Jami West

    Autoimmune chaos doesn’t have to run the show. We sat down with Dr. Jami West to map a clearer route: use GLP-class peptides as precision signals—at microdoses—to stabilize blood sugar, unburden the liver, and let the immune system stand down.  What starts as a smarter way to curb “food noise” quickly becomes something bigger: sharper focus, steadier energy, calmer moods, and less pain.  The stories here move beyond weight loss to real-life shifts in: Hashimoto’s, Lyme-related neuro symptoms, MS, lupus, and fibromyalgia. One organ that stands as a component to it all: the LIVER. We dig into why the liver sits at the center of hormone health and thyroid conversion, how high-dose one-size-fits-all plans backfire, and what a sustainable path looks like when you support gut and liver first.  Expect clear guidance on microdosing to keep true hunger intact, protect muscle, and avoid nausea, plus insights on why triglycerides can be oddly low in autoimmunity and how they normalize as healing begins.  You’ll hear how compounding enables fine-tuned dosing, why steady beats speedy for long-term weight and symptom stability, and how better glycemic control supports brain function at any age. Whether you’re managing flares, rebuilding energy, or caring for aging parents, this episode delivers a grounded blueprint: simplify inputs, personalize dosing, listen to signals, and let better signaling do the heavy lifting.

    #27 Stop Researching. Start Ordering. Your Quick-Start Guide to GLPs, BPC-157, and TA1

    Peptides are powerful, practical, and too often misunderstood—so we set the record straight with a clear plan you can use today.  We start with the workhorse that helps almost everyone: microdosed GLP with GIP. By smoothing blood sugar spikes, this combo lightens the liver’s load, cools gut inflammation, and even eases neuroinflammation that shows up as brain fog and anxious edges. Prefer to skip needles? We explain daily oral drops, personalization with B12, glycine, or L-carnitine, and why medical oversight makes the difference between guesswork and real results. From there, we dig into BPC157 with TB500—the Wolverine stack—for connective tissue repair and gut lining support. If you train, sit too much, or just live in 2026, microtears and tendon stress are constant. This stack supports healing of ligaments, tendons, fascia, and the GI barrier. We highly recommend it for athletes, clinicians working hands-on, and anyone stuck in a loop of soreness and slow recovery. We share when capsules shine for gut-first goals and when injections may deliver broader systemic benefits, plus smart ways to stack with GLP+GIP for performance and resilience. We also give you a lab-first roadmap:  Watch fasting glucose (85–99), A1C (5.6), and HSCRP (closer to 0 is better). The ratio hidden in your CBC that you need to know Understand the new way to treat regular labs. No more complicated supplement protocols. Let's switch them our for simple peptide stacks. How to treat what you see in your labs with peptides.   Whether your priority is metabolism, recovery, or immune balance, we outline simple stacks you can rotate or combine, and we walk through safe ordering via telemedicine with identity verification, prescribing, and aftercare included.

    #26 Your mitochondria run the engine. MOTS-C keep it firing.

    MOTS-C is a peptide your mitochondria actually produce — a native signal that tells your cells to pull in glucose, burn fat, and build new energy infrastructure. When that signal fades with age, the results are familiar: stubborn weight, sluggish energy, brain fog, and workouts that stop paying off. This episode breaks down exactly how MOTS-C flips your body's master energy switch, AMPK, in plain English — no biology degree required. We cover who benefits most, from blood sugar swings and weight plateaus to athletic performance and longevity, and why women in menopause are finding it especially powerful without touching hormones. We also answer the question everyone's thinking: are peptides even natural? Spoiler — your body's been making them all along. By the end you'll know: Why mitochondrial decline tracks directly with aging and metabolismHow to pair MOTS-C with training, nutrition, and sleep for compounding resultsWhich labs and performance cues to track progressThis isn't a miracle. It's a map — rooted in how your cells already work. MOTS-C just became available this month — it's next for Jess and I.  Get it on your list.  Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!
