In this episode, I’m joined by TJ Sweet, keynote speaker, author, certified coach, and host of the Living the Sweet Life podcast, to talk about his personal journey with peptides, recovering from years of knee pain, and changing the way he approaches health, gratitude, and personal growth. After multiple knee surgeries and years of struggling with pain and limited mobility, TJ began exploring peptides as part of a broader approach to his health. Alongside peptides, he focused on gut health, nutrition, movement, and other foundational habits that supported his recovery. But this conversation goes beyond physical healing. TJ shares how gratitude, self-acceptance, and understanding the deeper purpose behind our goals can change the way we approach our health. He explains why chasing a number on the scale isn't always enough, why sustainable habits matter more than quick results, and how taking care of ourselves can help us show up more fully for the people we love. In this episode, we cover: TJ's journey through multiple knee surgeries and chronic knee painHow peptides became part of his personal recovery journeyThe peptides TJ has explored, including BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-cWhy gut health, nutrition, movement, and other foundational habits matter alongside peptidesHow gratitude can help us shift our perspective without ignoring difficult emotionsWhy setting health goals around purpose can be more motivating than focusing only on weight or appearanceThe difference between achieving a goal and building habits that help you sustain your resultsHow social media and comparison can affect body image and self-acceptanceLearning to keep promises to yourself and build a healthier relationship with yourselfWhy taking care of your health can help you stay present for the people you loveHow to receive compliments without turning them into new expectationsWhy peptides aren't a shortcut or a replacement for the foundations of good healthConnect with TJ Sweet!

In this episode, I’m joined by Tina Haupert of Carrots ’N’ Cake, my FDN colleague, peptide friend, and co-creator of the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course. We’re getting honest about our personal experiences with peptides, especially when it comes to chronic gut issues and the reality that not every peptide works the way we hope it will. Tina shares her experience using peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV for ulcerative colitis, while I talk about my own long journey with slow motility and constipation. We discuss why some peptides may help manage symptoms without fixing the underlying issue, why every body responds differently, and why medications can be a valid part of your health journey. We also talk about the connection between chronic stress and gut health, and how learning to slow down, set boundaries, and make room for hobbies and relationships can make a difference. Plus, we share more about our upcoming live Peptides for Practitioners cohort and why real-life experience matters when learning how to use peptides as part of a bigger health picture. In this episode, we cover: Our personal experiences with gut health and chronic digestive issues Why BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV didn't completely resolve our gut issues How peptides can help manage symptoms without necessarily fixing the underlying problem Why medications and other treatments can be valid tools in your health journey How chronic stress and HPA axis dysregulation may affect gut health and peptide outcomes The importance of slowing down, setting boundaries, and making time to relax How hobbies, creativity, social connections, and time away from work support a more balanced lifestyle Why peptides work differently for everyone and aren't a one-size-fits-all solution What to expect from the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and upcoming live cohort Why practitioner education, functional testing, and a comprehensive approach matter when working with peptides Connect with Tina Haupert: Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake/⁠ Website: ⁠⁠www.carrotsncake.com⁠ Links & Resources: 🔗 Learn more at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elliemd.com/JenniferWoodwardNutrition⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎯 Take my free peptide quiz and get a personalized, midlife-smart roadmap for the peptides that actually match your symptoms and goals: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quiz.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/peptide-quiz⁠⁠🎓 Enroll in the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and get $100 off for podcast subscribers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPJENNIFER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧬 Want to pair GLP-1s with functional lab testing? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learn.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/invitation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Grab The Body Edit Guide here for full protocols, labs, and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/jenniferwoodwardnutrition/p/get-the-body-edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‼️Disclaimer‼️ This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

    EPISODE 66: The Good, The Bad, and The Unexpected Side of Experimenting With Peptides with Tina Haupert

    Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Tina Haupert, the woman behind Carrots ’N Cake, an FDN practitioner, longtime health and fitness blogger, and experienced peptide self-experimenter. Tina has been on a long health journey with ulcerative colitis, and her search for better health has led her to explore a wide range of peptides for healing, inflammation, pain, metabolism, body composition, and overall health. Tina and I talk about the good, the bad, and the unexpected parts of using peptides. She shares some of her biggest peptide wins, as well as the experiences that did not go as planned, including some pretty intense reactions to MOTS-c, Thymosin Alpha-1, and FOXO4-DRI. We also talk about the peptides that have worked really well for her, including ARA 290 for nerve pain, GLP-1s for appetite control and food noise, and Tesamorelin + KPV for body composition and inflammation. Tina shares why she prefers a low-and-slow approach, how her experience with peptides has changed over time, and why the same peptide can affect two people very differently. Most importantly, this episode is about looking at peptides as another tool in the toolbox rather than a magic solution. Your experience may be completely different from someone else’s, which is why bio-individuality, proper guidance, and understanding the bigger picture all matter. In this episode, we cover: Tina’s health journey with ulcerative colitis and what led her to functional nutrition and peptidesWhy BPC-157 + TB-500 was Tina’s “gateway peptide”Her experience with MOTS-c and intense injection site reactionsWhy MOTS-c may not be a good fit for everyoneTina’s experience with a high dose of Thymosin Alpha-1 and the importance of starting low and slowFOXO4-DRI and the theory behind targeting senescent “zombie” cellsWhy the dose can make a big difference with peptidesTina’s experience using ARA 290 for severe nerve painTina’s experience with Tirzepatide and RetatrutideWhy Retatrutide caused increased heart rate and anxiety for Tina at higher dosesWhy individual responses to GLP-1s can be so differentTina’s experience with Tesamorelin + KPVHer less positive experience with Tesamorelin + IpamorelinKPV for inflammation and why Tina likes combining it with growth hormone peptidesTina’s experience with 5-Amino and increased energyHer first impressions of topical GHK-Cu for skinHow practitioners can troubleshoot when a peptide isn’t producing the expected resultsPeptides for Practitioners and the importance of learning how to use peptides responsibly with clientsHow practitioners can integrate peptide education into their businessesWhy getting different perspectives from other practitioners can be valuableConnect with Tina Haupert: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake/ Website: ⁠www.carrotsncake.com⁠ Links & Resources: 🔗 Learn more at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elliemd.com/JenniferWoodwardNutrition⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎯 Take my free peptide quiz and get a personalized, midlife-smart roadmap for the peptides that actually match your symptoms and goals: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quiz.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/peptide-quiz⁠🎓 Enroll in the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and get $100 off for podcast subscribers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPJENNIFER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧬 Want to pair GLP-1s with functional lab testing? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learn.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/invitation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Grab The Body Edit Guide here for full protocols, labs, and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/jenniferwoodwardnutrition/p/get-the-body-edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‼️Disclaimer‼️ This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

    EPISODE 65: What Doctors, Telehealth Companies & Consumers Need to Know About The Legal Side of Peptides with Dustin Robinson

    Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Dustin Robinson, founding partner of LumaLex Law, an attorney, CPA, and entrepreneur who works with companies in emerging and highly regulated industries. We’re talking about the legal and regulatory side of the peptide industry, including research-use peptides, compounding pharmacies, telehealth, social media, and what doctors and consumers should understand as the industry continues to evolve. Dustin shares why peptides, psychedelics, cannabis, healthcare, and other industries can be so complicated from a legal perspective. We also talk about the differences between research-use-only (RUO) products and regulated compounding pharmacies, how state and federal regulations can overlap, and why the laws surrounding peptides can change so quickly. We also get into the recent discussions around peptides being considered for the 503A bulk drug list, what that could mean for access, the future of peptide supply chains, and why the demand for peptides could create new challenges for pharmacies and API manufacturers. Finally, Dustin explains some of the legal risks around affiliate marketing and social media, including why peptide companies and influencers need to be careful about what they say online and how Meta handles content related to regulated industries. In this episode, we cover: Why emerging industries like peptides, psychedelics, cannabis, and healthcare have complicated legal frameworks How Dustin’s firm uses AI and legal technology to keep up with changing regulations Corporate practice of medicine (CPOM) and why telehealth companies need to understand state-specific laws How MSO-PC structures work and why they can be different from state to state The difference between 503A compounding pharmacies and RUO products Why an RUO product is not the same thing as a prescription The legal risks doctors may face when using RUO products with patients Why some peptides have been difficult to compound through 503A pharmacies The recent PCAC discussions around several peptides and what could happen next FDA rulemaking and the idea of “enforcement discretion” Why peptide demand could potentially outpace the regulated supply chain Where peptide APIs come from and the difference between regulated and unregulated supply chains Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and why independent batch testing matters The legal risks of affiliate marketing for RUO companies Why companies can be responsible for claims made by their affiliates Social media, Meta, and why peptide and other regulated-industry accounts can be removed Why educational content may be safer than promoting personal use Dustin’s thoughts on AI and how it is changing businesses and law firms What the future could look like as AI becomes more integrated into everyday life Connect with Dustin Robinson!
