    My Personal Peptide Stack and Why I'm Taking a Break: BPC-157, TB-500, Microdosing Retatrutide, AOD-9604, GHK-**, NAD, Selank and Semax

    I'm a biohacker with a peptide fridge, and right now I am injecting absolutely nothing. That is probably not what you expected me to say. The internet makes it look like the goal is more compounds, stacked higher, forever. It is not. The goal is to use the right tool for a specific window, then come off it. In this solo episode I open my actual fridge. I walk through every peptide I have run recently, the real dose, why it went in, why it came out, and why I am on a full break right now. I cover my injury repair pair BPC-157 and TB-500, my body composition experiments with AOD-9604 and a Retatrutide microdose, my beauty and longevity layer with GHK-** and NAD nasal spray, and my brain and mood pair Selank and Semax. Then I explain why I am cycled off everything, and how to build your own stack for a female body instead of copying mine. This is my personal experience for education, not medical advice, and peptides are provider territory. If you want me to help you build and sequence your own stack around your goals and your labs, you can book a free call here.

    Peptides Just Got National Validation: Inside the Landmark FDA Vote on BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, DSIP, Epitalon + Semax

    This is a landmark day for peptides! I recorded this at 6 AM the morning between day one and day two of the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) meeting, and I'm breaking down exactly what happened, why it matters, and what it means for you depending on where you live. On day one, the committee voted YES on all four peptides they reviewed: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and MOTS-c. This went against the FDA scientists' own recommendation. There was an audible gasp in the room. Today they're voting on DSIP, Epitalon, and Semax, and I expect all three to pass too. If you'd like to work with me one-on-one, you can book a free call here. Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome + why this is a landmark peptide moment 04:50 What the FDA PCAC panel voted on and why it shocked everyone 08:00 Peptides have a champion at the very top (RFK Jr.) + the $2.2B opportunity 10:00 Why this is a win. Safety through legitimacy, licensed compounding pharmacies, real quality standards 13:50 Why national validation matters, and what this means if you're already using peptides 17:30 BPC-157. The recovery superstar. Doses, cycles, uses 20:35 TB-500. The recovery partner. The Wolverine stack with BPC-157 22:00 KPV. The anti-inflammatory gem for gut and skin 23:10 MOTS-c. Exercise mimetic, metabolic and mitochondrial support 25:35 What's on the vote today. DSIP for sleep, Epitalon for longevity, Semax for focus 27:30 Free base vs acetate. What you need to know 28:35 What this means for women. Why our physiology needs its own research 30:55 The future. Nothing is fully legal yet. The FDA still gets the final vote 33:35 The gray market will shrink but not dissolve 34:30 If you don't have a doctor. How the US telehealth model will work 35:20 What this means for Canadians and global listeners 37:00 Peptides are here to stay.

    Optimize your Blood Sugar: Belly Fat, Prediabetes, Peptides, Type 3 & 4 Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, CGMs, Inositol and GLP-1's | Her Stack Series

    Blood sugar is the master dial. If your energy crashes at 3pm, if the cravings run you, if the belly weight will not move no matter how clean you eat, this is not a willpower problem. It is a blood sugar problem, and it is fixable. In this episode I break down blood sugar for women from the ground up: what glucose and insulin actually do, the six levers that throw them off, the full diabetes spectrum from prediabetes through Types 1 to 4 (including the lean, skinny fat Type 4 that surprised me), and the exact labs and CGMs to run. Then I give you my full stack across four pillars: nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and peptides. I also get into how the GLP-1s and the growth hormone peptides move your blood sugar in opposite directions, PMOS (the newly renamed condition you have known as PCOS) where insulin is the real root, and how to actually get a CGM here in Canada now that the US apps like Levels do not ship north of the border. If you want me to build this protocol with you, you can book a free call here.   Timestamps: 04:15 - What blood sugar is: glucose and insulin 07:38 - Lever 1: spikes, crashes, and cravings 11:31 - Lever 2: insulin, belly fat, and fat storage 15:45 - Lever 3: insulin resistance and HOMA-IR 19:17 - Lever 4: glycation and your HbA1c 24:04 - Lever 5: cortisol, how stress spikes sugar 26:29 - Lever 6: your hormones, cycle, and perimenopause 34:16 - The diabetes spectrum: prediabetes and Types 1 to 4 46:17 - Symptoms: how to tell your blood sugar is off 48:03 - Labs and CGMs, and how to get one in Canada 57:06 - Pillar 1: nutrition to flatten the spike 1:13:55 - Pillar 2: lifestyle, walking, muscle, sleep 1:18:45 - Pillar 3: supplements (magnesium, inositol, berberine) 1:25:43 - Pillar 4: peptides, GLP-1s, and PMOS Resources: Work with me one-on-one.

    You have a wedding, a vacation, a babymoon, a reunion, or a big shoot in about two months, and you want to walk in glowing. In this episode I give you my full 8 week glow up protocol, the same one I build for my one on one clients, and it is all from the inside out. I break down what glow actually is on a physiological level: collagen, glycation, inflammation and puffiness, gut health, circulation and lymph, and body composition. Then I walk you through the labs to run, my three pillars of nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements, and the peptides I reach for when a client wants skin, hair, tan, and fat loss support. I close with budget tiers so you can start whether you have $100 or $5,000 a month. If you want me to build this protocol with you, work with me one on one for peptides, hormones, longevity, and a full lab review.   I TALK ABOUT: 00:00 Welcome and the 8 week glow up premise 04:16 What glow really is: collagen as your scaffolding 09:52 Glycation, AGEs, and how sugar ages your skin 11:11 Inflammation, puffiness, and what actually drives bloat 18:56 The gut skin axis 20:34 Circulation, lymph, and de-puffing 24:09 Muscle tone, body composition, and hormones 28:46 The labs to run first 35:45 Pillar 1: Nutrition (protein, collagen, electrolytes) 50:03 Pillar 2: Lifestyle and biohacks 58:39 Pillar 3: Supplements 1:02:25 Peptides for skin, hair, tan, and fat loss 1:17:32 Budget tiers from $100 to $5,000 and how to start   WORK WITH ME: 1:1 longevity and peptide consults for women My Peptide Source Guide Her Stack Planner Join The LongHer Life   WHAT I MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Labs: Function Health, SiPhox Health (code BRITTANY20), and NiaHealth for Canada.

    The Complete Sleep Protocol: Peptides, Supplements, Blood Sugar, Blue Light, Cooling Mattresses + The 3 AM Fix That Changed Everything | Her Stack Series

    In this episode, I'm giving you the full sleep protocol I built for myself and for the women I work with. Not just how to sleep longer, but how to make the hours you actually get deeper, more restorative, and more efficient. Even if you have a kid in your bed. Even if you are perimenopausal and running hot. Even if you have been broken for years. I share the exact protein-before-bed hack that ended my 3 AM wake-ups, the caffeine half-life math (why your 2 PM coffee is still in your system at 10 PM), why I do not recommend melatonin for most women, the 3 sleep peptides I trust the most (DSIP, Epitalon, Selank), and the fringe biohacks that actually move the needle.

    The Complete Perimenopause Protocol: Peptides, HRT, Labs, Nutrition, Workouts & Supplements That Actually Work | Her Stack Series

    Perimenopause is not a slow fade. It is a hormonal storm that lasts about a decade. Estrogen swings, progesterone slips first, testosterone quietly declines, and growth hormone falls alongside all of it. That is why the workout that worked at 25 stops working at 45. It is why women come to me saying "I am doing everything right and the scale will not budge." Your biology is changing, and your approach has to change with it. In this episode I'm giving you my top recommendations for every pillar so you walk away with a real protocol, not a pile of overwhelm. We cover the exact biomarker labs to ask for, the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) now that the black box warning is finally off, the protein and blood sugar shifts your body actually needs in this decade, the strength training and lifestyle biohacks that move the needle, the top supplements that matter, and the foundational and advanced peptide and bioregulator stacks I recommend most often.
