Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined once again by returning guest Samantha Lander, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, wellness coach, DJ, and founder of SeeFit Living, to answer your biggest peptide questions straight from our community. We’re diving into the real-world conversations women are having around peptides right now: from GLP-1s and weight loss resistance to libido, sleep, mitochondria, inflammation, gut health, and healthy aging. Samantha and I also talk about the importance of foundations like protein, minerals, hormone balance, stress management, and gut health before relying on peptides as a “magic fix.” We break down some of the most common misconceptions around peptides, discuss how different peptides work in the body, and share practical insights from both our personal experiences and clinical work with women in perimenopause and midlife. If you’ve been curious about peptides but overwhelmed by conflicting information online, this episode is packed with honest conversation, education, and practical nuance.
