    #28 Peptides to Help with Autoimmunity, Lyme, Fibromyalgia with Dr. Jami West

    Autoimmune chaos doesn’t have to run the show. We sat down with Dr. Jami West to map a clearer route: use GLP-class peptides as precision signals—at microdoses—to stabilize blood sugar, unburden the liver, and let the immune system stand down.  What starts as a smarter way to curb “food noise” quickly becomes something bigger: sharper focus, steadier energy, calmer moods, and less pain.  The stories here move beyond weight loss to real-life shifts in: Hashimoto’s, Lyme-related neuro symptoms, MS, lupus, and fibromyalgia. One organ that stands as a component to it all: the LIVER. We dig into why the liver sits at the center of hormone health and thyroid conversion, how high-dose one-size-fits-all plans backfire, and what a sustainable path looks like when you support gut and liver first.  Expect clear guidance on microdosing to keep true hunger intact, protect muscle, and avoid nausea, plus insights on why triglycerides can be oddly low in autoimmunity and how they normalize as healing begins.  You’ll hear how compounding enables fine-tuned dosing, why steady beats speedy for long-term weight and symptom stability, and how better glycemic control supports brain function at any age. Whether you’re managing flares, rebuilding energy, or caring for aging parents, this episode delivers a grounded blueprint: simplify inputs, personalize dosing, listen to signals, and let better signaling do the heavy lifting.

    #27 Stop Researching. Start Ordering. Your Quick-Start Guide to GLPs, BPC-157, and TA1

    Peptides are powerful, practical, and too often misunderstood—so we set the record straight with a clear plan you can use today.  We start with the workhorse that helps almost everyone: microdosed GLP with GIP. By smoothing blood sugar spikes, this combo lightens the liver’s load, cools gut inflammation, and even eases neuroinflammation that shows up as brain fog and anxious edges. Prefer to skip needles? We explain daily oral drops, personalization with B12, glycine, or L-carnitine, and why medical oversight makes the difference between guesswork and real results. From there, we dig into BPC157 with TB500—the Wolverine stack—for connective tissue repair and gut lining support. If you train, sit too much, or just live in 2026, microtears and tendon stress are constant. This stack supports healing of ligaments, tendons, fascia, and the GI barrier. We highly recommend it for athletes, clinicians working hands-on, and anyone stuck in a loop of soreness and slow recovery. We share when capsules shine for gut-first goals and when injections may deliver broader systemic benefits, plus smart ways to stack with GLP+GIP for performance and resilience. We also give you a lab-first roadmap:  Watch fasting glucose (85–99), A1C (5.6), and HSCRP (closer to 0 is better). The ratio hidden in your CBC that you need to know Understand the new way to treat regular labs. No more complicated supplement protocols. Let's switch them our for simple peptide stacks. How to treat what you see in your labs with peptides.   Whether your priority is metabolism, recovery, or immune balance, we outline simple stacks you can rotate or combine, and we walk through safe ordering via telemedicine with identity verification, prescribing, and aftercare included.

    #26 Your mitochondria run the engine. MOTS-C keep it firing.

    MOTS-C is a peptide your mitochondria actually produce — a native signal that tells your cells to pull in glucose, burn fat, and build new energy infrastructure. When that signal fades with age, the results are familiar: stubborn weight, sluggish energy, brain fog, and workouts that stop paying off. This episode breaks down exactly how MOTS-C flips your body's master energy switch, AMPK, in plain English — no biology degree required. We cover who benefits most, from blood sugar swings and weight plateaus to athletic performance and longevity, and why women in menopause are finding it especially powerful without touching hormones. We also answer the question everyone's thinking: are peptides even natural? Spoiler — your body's been making them all along. By the end you'll know: Why mitochondrial decline tracks directly with aging and metabolismHow to pair MOTS-C with training, nutrition, and sleep for compounding resultsWhich labs and performance cues to track progressThis isn't a miracle. It's a map — rooted in how your cells already work. MOTS-C just became available this month — it's next for Jess and I.  Get it on your list.  Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it!

    #25 Denise's Story: Peptide Deals Could Cost You. Stop Bargain Hunting. Start Sourcing Right.

    Denise wanted to do something good for her body. She found a Black Friday peptide bundle, did her research, and placed the order. What followed was months of redness, fever, and multiple rounds of antibiotics — all traced back to one contaminated vial from an unvetted source. Her story isn't rare. It's a warning. This episode opens the hood on why research-grade peptides are so risky — mislabeled products, bacterial contamination, zero oversight, and sterility standards that no kitchen counter can meet. One small break in the sourcing chain can turn a wellness investment into an abscess, a hospital visit, or worse. We also share what turned Denise's health around: BPC-157 for tissue repair and gut integrityThymosin Alpha-1 to recalibrate an immune system hammered by antibioticsGlutathione for strategic antioxidant supportMedical guidance and pharmacy-grade sourcing from the startBy the end you'll trust us even more when we say our telehealth company is the place to get your peptides from. Peptides are small compounds that pack a punch. The difference between harm and healing is sourcing, sterility, and smart supervision. Don't let a deal be the thing that sets you back. Denise already paid that price. Want to connect more with the hosts? We'd love it! Connect with Jess at B2BwithJess.com/peptides or on Instagram @JessB_LMT_NC.

    #24 Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, And A Peptide Walk Into Midlife with Megan

    Peptides aren’t magic; they’re messages. We sit down with Megan Hermazdi, a nurse practitioner and two‑time cancer survivor, to trace how foundations, hormones, and precision peptides can transform midlife health without the overwhelm.  She is so gracious to share her story - from winning cancer not once but twice, to her body simply breaking down.  Her story moves from insomnia, weight gain, and medication side effects to a system that actually works:  stabilize sleep and nutrition, repair the gut, balance hormones, then add targeted peptides that nudge the body back into safety and repair.We dig into the surprising breadth of GLP‑1 benefits—less noise around cravings, calmer focus, improved metabolic markers—plus why microdosing and personalization matter more than chasing the highest dose.  You’ll hear real‑world protocols for surgical recovery and joint pain using BPC‑157, TB‑500, and KPV, and practical skin and hair strategies with GHK‑Cu and hyaluronic acid, from microneedling to handling old scars that won’t budge. Safety stays front and center: lab monitoring for growth‑hormone–linked peptides, vetted sourcing, and the risks of DIY research aisles. If you’ve wondered where to begin—or how to refine what you’re already doing—this conversation gives you a roadmap that respects budget, biology, and everyday life.  Ready to build a plan that actually fits you?

    #23 Improving Chronic Illness and Elevated Blood Pressure Using Peptide Therapy with Kimberley

    A dangerous gym-day blood pressure reading sent Kimberley into a year of urgent care visits, stacked prescriptions, and frustration. What finally changed the story wasn’t a seventh medication—it was a strategy: repair the gut, calm inflammation, and support soft tissue with the right peptides from the right sources. We unpack how BPC 157 helped lower Kimberly’s blood pressure to 122/84 and eased pain tied to Ehlers-Danlos, while glutathione smoothed the edges during off-cycles. We talk practical dosing—twelve weeks on, thoughtful breaks, five days on and two off—and why cycling matters for longevity peptides. Kimberly shares how thymosin alpha 1 steadied her immune system and made MCAS flares feel quieter, while daily electrolyte tactics kept POTS symptoms in check. Through it all, she spaces injections, rotates sites, and gives each change six to eight weeks, proving that sensitive systems respond best to patience and precision. There’s a twist you won’t want to miss: early success with GLP1/GIP was nearly derailed by pancreatitis scares that turned out to be a contaminated “healthy” protein powder. Once she ditched the bad product and worked with a listening clinician, she returned to GLP1/GIP without trouble—and her cardiometabolic markers improved again.  The message is clear: sourcing and quality control matter for everything—peptides, supplements, and protein powders. Telemedicine expertise pairs best with a functional provider who knows your whole story, from labs to grief and stress. If you refuse to wear diagnoses as an identity, this conversation lays out a smarter path: start with one peptide, verify the source, build a stack with your care team, and let data and body feedback guide the way.  Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs hope, and leave a review telling us which peptide or protocol you want us to explore next.
