    EPISODE 44: The Missing Link Between GLP-1 Precision Dosing, Circadian Rhythm & Gut Health with Dr. Melissa Petersen

    Welcome back to the Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Melissa Petersen, founder and CEO of Human Longevity Global and president of Peptide University. She’s a global authority in longevity medicine and metabolic innovation, and fun fact, she’s also the practitioner who originally introduced me to peptides years ago! So this conversation feels like a full-circle moment, diving even deeper into the science, strategy, and philosophy behind these powerful tools. We explore how peptides and GLP-1s actually work in the body, why precision dosing matters more than ever, and the biggest mistakes both clinicians and patients are making right now. Plus, we get into the often-overlooked foundations: circadian rhythm, nervous system regulation, and metabolic inputs, that ultimately determine whether peptides work… or don’t. In this episode, we cover: The origin story behind Human Longevity Institute and Peptide UniversityWhat peptides actually are (and why thinking in “molecules” changes everything)GLP-1s explained: why they’re revolutionary—and where things are going wrongPrecision dosing vs. standard dosing (and why “less is more”)The real reason GLP-1 side effects happen and how to avoid themFoundational gut support before starting peptides (enzymes, nutrients, hydration)Simple, budget-friendly ways to improve digestion and metabolic healthCircadian rhythm as the missing link in weight loss, sleep, and hormone balanceWhy timing (when you eat, sleep, and move) matters more than what you doThe impact of light exposure, nervous system regulation, and daily inputsWhy peptides “stop working” and what’s actually happening in the bodyThe BioHealthSpan framework: inputs → terrain → targeted interventions → amplificationHow to think about health as a system, not a quick fixConnect with Dr. Melissa Petersen!

    EPISODE 42: Why Midlife Weight Gain Isn’t Your Fault (and What to Do) with Erin Goodman

    Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Erin Goodman, a master fitness trainer, nutrition coach, and Beachbody Live Master Trainer, to talk about her personal journey with peptides and how microdosing helped her break through stubborn weight gain while preserving muscle. After over two decades in the fitness industry, Erin found herself doing “all the right things” - tracking macros, strength training, and staying active - yet still gaining weight and feeling stuck. In this conversation, she shares how she shifted from skepticism to education, ultimately using peptides as a tool to support her already strong foundation. We also explore how peptides can complement (not replace!) key health habits like protein intake, resistance training, and consistency. Erin offers practical, real-life strategies she uses with her clients to simplify nutrition, improve adherence, and create sustainable results without extremes.
