    BONUS: How A Second Home Became Possible Without More Office Hours

    Ready to make money when you leave the office? This isn't just a dream for Jessica anymore. It's reality.  Peptides get talked about like a trend, but what we really want is lasting change: more energy, more options, and a life that isn’t chained to the clock. We open with a simple idea that hits hard, we don’t work only to pay bills. We work to build dreams, and today Jess shares what it feels like when a decades-long goal finally becomes real. Jess gets emotional walking us through closing on a second home in Florida, just minutes from the beach! Her dream has become a reality. All from saying yes to an opportunity that she could get behind and going after it.  35 years as a massage therapist, she knows the reality of a physically demanding, time-for-money career, and why longevity matters when your income depends on you being in the office.  Dive inside as we learn what brought her the income to step away from the office and at the same time, what pays for the second home in her dream location.  But this story goes deeper than real estate. This decision also supports their son’s transfer to flight school, giving him stable housing and helping the family avoid throwing money away on rent while he trains for a career that’s long and expensive.  Leave it to Dr Kylie to leave you with a mindset reminder: work smart AND hard.  Share this with a friend and if you haven't yet, subscribe for more.

    #50 What The July FDA Hearing Could Mean For Compounded Peptides

    The internet loves a scary headline, and “peptides placed in category two” might be the most misunderstood one yet. We’re Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke, and we’re slowing the noise down to explain what’s actually happening with the FDA’s July 23–24 hearing and why it directly affects patient access to compounded peptides. It started back in 2023 when compounding pharmacies pushed back against government regulation. What happened then and what's happening now revolves around the FDA's category 1 and category 2 classifications. These classifications affect our access to them.  What exactly do these classifications mean though? And what's the difference between the DEA and the FDA?  Inside this episode, we also tackle:  503A pharmacies 503C pharmacies The FDA hearing happening July 23 and 24th What peptides are getting reclassifiedWhy this process will take longer than one weekend Let's face the reality: when regulated access disappears, people will get pushed into the gray market with questionable sourcing and risky kitchen mixes. It's already bad enough. We don't want it to become worse. If you care about peptide therapy, compounding pharmacy policy, and safe wellness options, hit play, share this with someone who’s seeing the misinformation, and leave a review so more people can find clear answers.

    #49 Peptides Cause Cancer? Jen's Oncologist Was the One Who Recommended Them.

    A teratoma on her ovary. Then Hashimoto's. Then breast cancer. When it rains, it pours — and for Jen Gifford Wersland, it absolutely did. In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Jen, a breast cancer survivor whose story is equal parts harrowing and hopeful. From being dismissed in the ER with an IBS diagnosis (while carrying a peach-sized ovarian tumor) to navigating 12 rounds of chemo, a mastectomy, sudden menopause, and a reactivated Epstein-Barr virus — Jen's body had been through war. And the inflammation to prove it. Then her oncologist brought up microdosing tirzepatide. And Jen almost walked out. In this episode you'll hear: Why Jen pushed back on her ER diagnosis and the CT scan that changed everythingWhat a teratoma actually is (and why you probably shouldn't Google it)How Jen combined conventional cancer treatment with naturopathic support — and why that naturopath made all the differenceThe real truth about peptides and cancer — and why her oncologist was the one recommending themWhy medical oversight isn't optional when you have a cancer historyHer full peptide stack: microdose tirzepatide, glutathione, thymosin alpha-1, and PT141The MTHFR mutation, estrogen detox pathways, and why the Dutch test revealed what nobody else had caughtWhat "feeling better than I did at 35" looks like at nearly 50 — and why she's ready to bring it onIf you've been told peptides aren't safe after cancer, this episode is a must-listen. And if you've been quietly suffering and putting everyone else first — Jen has something to say to you too.

    #48 Migraines for 35 Years — Gone for Now 7 Months. What Finally Gave Amy Relief?

    What if the migraines you've managed your entire life weren't just about triggers — but about what your body was never making in the first place? In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Amy Cassles, a health-conscious, fitness-minded woman who spent 35 years doing everything right — and still couldn't outrun her migraines. From blood pressure meds and anti-seizure drugs in her teens and 20s, to a candida cleanse, sinus surgery, breast implant removal, and even a partial hysterectomy — Amy tried it all. And still, one stressful moment could send her to bed, vomiting, unable to open her eyes. Then she discovered something she'd been skeptical of for years. In this episode you'll hear: How migraines stole Amy's childhood, teenage years, and countless milestones as an adultWhy her neurologist told her, "You don't have triggers — you are the trigger"The MTHFR genetic mutation and what poor methylation has to do with chronic inflammationWhy her first experience with semaglutide failed How microdosing a GLP-1/GIP peptide at a third of the lowest recommended dose changed everythingWhat 7 migraine-free months feels like after a lifetime of walking on eggshellsBonus: we had to share Amy's mom's arthritis turnaround too.  If you know of someone who suffers with migraines and/or arthritis, please forward this episode to them.   If you or someone you love suffers from chronic migraines — or has written off GLP peptides because of the horror stories — this episode is for you.

    Everyone wants glowing skin. But what if the serum, the cream, and the collagen powder aren't the problem — and neither is your skincare routine? In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Jen Gifford Wersland and Tanya Candy, RN, two women from Montana who stumbled onto a peptide-powered skincare approach that's turning heads — literally.

    #46 The Tanning Peptide With A Surprise Side Effect

    The “Barbie peptide” might be the most misleading nickname in wellness. We’re talking about Melanotan-2 and yes, it can deepen pigmentation, but the real conversation is about skin biology, UV protection, and what it means to make a decision without robust long-term human data.  We kick off this episode with a relatable reality for redheads (like Dr. Kylie) and other fair-skinned listeners:  burning fast, never tanning, being told to “just wear more sunscreen,” and navigating a world that treats the sun like it’s automatically the enemy. From there, we break down where Melanotan-2 comes from and why it was developed. Researchers explored the melanocortin system to see if triggering the body’s own melanin production could offer more natural photoprotection and reduce sun damage.  We also share our honest, mixed feelings: the concept is compelling, but the evidence base has limits, so informed consent and medical oversight are non-negotiable. If you have a personal or family history of melanoma, we explain why that’s a hard stop.  Then we widen the lens beyond skin. Melanotan-2 can:  influence brain signaling tied to appetite and satiety, and it’s been studied for libido and arousal. Ultimately, If you’re curious about peptides for tanning, Melanotan-2 is for you. Please subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review with your biggest takeaway so far. We greatly appreciate it! Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!

    BONUS: How Telemedicine Peptides Change A Wellness Practice with Brooke

    Peptides are changing patient outcomes, but the real shift might be how they change the business side of wellness. We sit down with Brooke Breitbach, a chiropractor turned functional medicine practitioner, to unpack what happens when you stop chasing the next supplement protocol and start using peptides, lab work, and telemedicine to create faster momentum for patients and a cleaner model for your practice. If you're in the health and wellness space looking to provide safe peptides to your clients, Brooke will teach you how and why she did it. Inside this episode, Brooke walks us through her journey:  buying a chiropractic practice right out of school, growing fast, navigating the 2020 curveball, and eventually shutting down the chiropractic side when staffing became a constant fight. That transition forces a bigger question that so many clinic owners and solo practitioners feel in their bones: how do you keep helping people while protecting your time, your energy, and your income?  Dr. Kylie, Jessica, and Brooke know all too well the feelings of burnout. We also know when things are shifting and how to lead into the next phase of wellness - peptides are here to stay.  So if you've experienced burnout yourself or are tired of struggling with pill fatigue, this episode is for you. Learn how to convert complicated supplement protocols into simple peptide stacks and why this is the future.  If you've been sitting on the fence regarding the business of peptides, jump off. Come join us. You won't be in this alone.  If you’re a practitioner, wellness entrepreneur, or just curious about where healthcare is headed, this one will help you think bigger and move smarter. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s on the fence, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!
