    #17 Rewriting Sexual Health: From Hormones To Circulation

    Most people are told to “fix their hormones” when intimacy stops feeling easy, but the body tells a more interesting story: blood flow and stress often sit at the root of desire, arousal, lubrication, and climax.  In this episode, we unpack the surprising stats, the early warning signs hidden in sexual dysfunction, and the practical ways to support both the brain’s signal and the body’s response for men and women. We break down why erectile dysfunction can be an early marker of vascular issues, how stress tightens the valve on pleasure, and why so many women are misdirected away from circulation and toward hormone tweaks that don’t move the needle.  Then we get specific about tools:  how PT-141 influences central arousal, why tadalafil helps vessels stay relaxed to boost sensitivity and performance, and where oxytocin fits as the “connection” cue that eases anxiety and helps you feel safe and present. Expect candid stories, clear science, and zero shame. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, dealing with inconsistent erections, or just battling a stress-heavy life that leaves no space for closeness, this conversation offers an actionable path: support circulation, calm the nervous system, and align desire with response.  Order your ELATE and be one of the first 5,000 (starting February 4th) to do so for a free gift.

    #16 How A Little-Known Peptide Revives Libido For Men And Women

    Libido. Desire. It starts in the brain. Ever heard of PT-141 (the peptide)? It can reignite sexual motivation for women and men by targeting central pathways that drive want.  From the “whatever” phase that creeps in with menopause or long-term stress to the postpartum crash that blindsides new parents, we get honest about why libido fades and what it takes to bring it back without awkwardness or guesswork. We break down how to use PT-141 for real life:  why it isn’t a daily routine, how the two-to-six-hour window works, and how to time it for morning, afternoon, or evening plans. Along the way, we share candid stories, evidence-informed insights, and simple habits that make intimacy feel inviting again: lighten the pressure, set the stage, and let brain-first signaling do its work.  We encourage you to be brave and take action in secret. There's a Valentine's Day Special dropping February 4th for the first 5,000 orders. It's the new PT-141 Spray called Elate. Order quickly so you get your special gift with it—now’s the moment to plan date night with intention and a little science on your side. If this helped you rethink libido, tap follow, share with a friend who could use the spark, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

    #15 Your Bloodwork Can Point To The Right Peptides And Help You Feel Better, Faster

    Tired of being told your labs are “normal” while you still feel off? This is one of our favorite episodes as we turn normal labs into a goldmine of real answers - then share the peptide that helps resolve what your labs show!  So grab your labs and take notes. You'll be able to identify what peptides are right for you simply by using the blood work your doctor has already ordered.  Here's the goodies contained within this episode:  Why traditional ranges were built to catch disease, not to measure how well you function. How functional lab ranges can finally guide you to targeted peptide therapies that deliver real results. From simplifying protocols to speeding up healing, we share the exact markers we watch and the peptide stacks that reliably move them.Metabolic health: fasting glucose and A1C set the stage for choosing GLP-1 and GIP agonists that tame cravings, enhance insulin signaling, and help break plateaus. Gut repair using total protein and globulin as leaky gut clues, and explain why the BPC-157 plus TB-500 “Wolverine” combo rapidly seals the lining and calms reactivity. Liver stress shows up in AST and ALT, so we outline when glutathione peptides and NAD+ can support detox capacity, hormone balance, and clearer skin. The iron panel as a window into mitochondrial strain and show how methylene blue, NAD+, and methylcobalamin can lift cellular energy without guesswork.Autoimmunity? What's the peptide option for it and how does it show up in regular blood work? Vitamin D targets that actually correlate with feeling better, and why thymosin alpha-1 helps recalibrate immune tone. You’ll also hear what many clinicians observe with GLP-1: antibody levels often improve as metabolic inflammation eases. If you’ve stacked supplements without lasting relief, this approach replaces confusion with clarity—mapping standard bloodwork to a small, potent peptide plan that’s easier to follow, often less expensive, and faster to show progress. Ready to turn your labs into action? Press play, take notes, and share this with someone who’s stuck between “not sick” and truly well.  If you loved what you learned, please leave a review and share this to help others discover the show so they too, can cut through the noise of peptides and get the truth.  Want to connect more with the hosts?

    #11 Thymosin Alpha 1: Re‑Educating The Immune System For Autoimmunity, Infections, And Stress

    What if your immune system isn’t weak or wild—it’s just getting the wrong messages? In this episode, we explore how Thymosin-Alpha-1 (TA1) re-educates T cells to make smarter decisions, cutting chronic inflammation without shutting down your defenses.  Struggle with Autoimmune symptoms or long covid? TA1 may be the solution you never knew you needed. But first, what is autoimmunity, the immune system and have we misunderstood it all along? Once we understand the immune system, we can then understand the super powers of TA1. It's a peptide produced by the thymus, supports the training of T cells so they recognize true threats and stop tagging healthy tissue. That single shift—precision over volume—can mean fewer false alarms, calmer inflammation, and better resilience.  Dive past the science to who can benefit from this peptide?  short cycles twice a year for healthy folks entering high-stress seasons,multi-month protocols for those dealing with recurring infections,chronic Lyme, mold-related symptoms, or post-viral issues. parents juggling sick kids, athletes riding the edge of recovery, and clients tired of supplement piles with no payoff.Ever heard of PEPTIDE STACKING? We share our favorite stack and how you can build smart combinations too:  TA1 with BPC157 for gut integrity, soft tissue repair, and pain; TA1 with GLP1 for metabolic health, neuroinflammation, and systemic load. Expect clear analogies, concrete use cases, and a grounded path for swapping overwhelm for a tighter, more effective plan using this soon-to-be-popular peptide: Thymosin-Alpha-1. If this helped you connect the dots on autoimmunity, infections, or chronic inflammation, share it with someone who needs a hopeful next step then leave a review to tell us what peptide you're interested in learning about next.  Want to connect more with the hosts?

    #5 GLP-1 vs. GIP: Understanding the Peptides Behind Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro

    The rules of metabolism are being rewritten—and the script is simpler than you've been told: your body runs on signals. In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke dive into GLP-1 and GIP—the gut-brain messengers behind Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound—and show you how they restore the conversation between your pancreas, liver, and brain. When those messages are clear, blood sugar steadies, cravings quiet down, and energy lasts. When they're muffled by stress, poor sleep, and inflammation, insulin resistance takes over and everything feels harder than it should. What We Cover: How GLP-1 and GIP work as gut-brain messengers to restore metabolic communicationInsulin resistance explained with a lock-and-key model you can picture instantlyHow insulin resistance connects to fatty liver, rising cholesterol, and brain fogSemaglutide (GLP-1) vs. Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP dual agonist): what's the difference and why it mattersWhy the GIP layer often means gentler tolerance and broader metabolic benefitsCandid talk on side effects, microdosing, and smart titration strategiesHow peptides ease whole-system strain across cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormonesWhat long-term wins actually look like: steadier energy, better focus, and a healthier liverFor Anyone Ready to Stop Chasing Skinny and Start Chasing Stability: This episode gives you a clear path forward—grounded in science, free of hype, and focused on what actually works.
