    #53 The Peptide Combo For Beat-Up Bodies: The Wolverine Stack

    The peptide world is full of hype, half-truths, and confusing acronyms, so we’re slowing down and getting specific about two names that keep showing up: BPC-157 and TB-500.  Ready to understand BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) in plain English and why its headline is tissue repair? Next up is the peptide it's often combined with: TB-500, a thymosin beta 4 fragment. It works with actin inside your cells, helping the “right” cells migrate to the “right” place when your body is trying to recover.  Our favorite way to remember this Wolverine Stack and the first peptide Dr. Kylie started is: TB-500 directs traffic, BPC-157 does the road work. From there, we bring it to real life with stories from past guests and our own experiences using this peptide combination:  severe shoulder history, chronic illness, fitness recovery, and even the kind of stubborn ankle pain that just won’t budge. Not ready for injections? Dr. Kylie wasn't either. Capsules are available.   If you’re curious about the Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 and TB-500)as it helps with recovery, are peptides for tendon and ligament support, and peptides for gut health, tune in. Then share it with your audience so they can benefit from this peptide stack too.  BPC-157 and TB-500 are the peptides that'll have you saying "is it possible to feel this good at this age?"  Where do you start with peptide therapy? What do you add next? If you're a go-getter, check out Dr. Kylie's new program AMPLIFY. You'll find it on the homepage of her website: drkylieburton.com Ready to explore peptide therapy for yourself?

    #52 For GLP-1 Skeptics (and Lovers): They do Much More than Assist with Weight Loss

    Why do GLP-1 peptides keep showing up in places like heart health, kidney function, inflammation, sleep apnea, joint pain, cravings, and even long-range conversations about aging? Yet, most people believe they only have a positive impact on weight loss.  If you believe GLP-1s are only good for weight loss, think again.  We make the science simple without dumbing it down:  We explain randomized controlled trials versus observational cohort studies, why both matter, and how to spot the difference between a proven outcome and a promising pattern. We walk through major areas where GLP-1 receptor agonists are being studied beyond blood sugar and the scale, including cardiovascular protection signals, kidney outcomes, and inflammation improvements.  We also slow way down for the most sensitive topic: cancer. We share what large observational datasets are suggesting, why that is not the same as proof, and why this is never a reason to gamble with gray market peptides or start anything without your oncology or medical team involved.  Studies have also shown improvements in two areas nobody saw coming:  improved obstructive sleep apnea results in trials, and shifts in the brain’s reward loop that may affect alcohol, nicotine, gambling, opioids, and disordered eating.  If this conversation helps you think more clearly about GLP-1 medications, peptides, and evidence-based wellness, subscribe, share this with a friend who only hears the commercials and fear tactics. Help everyone you know understand GLP's go far beyond weight loss and the benefits just keep stacking up.  Where do you start with peptide therapy? What do you add next?

    #51 Understanding Menopause and How HRT Can Help with Crystal (an NP)

    Why are we talking about Hormone Replacement Therapy on a Peptide Podcast? Well, peptides and hormones go great together and now, you have access to BOTH with our telemedicine company.  The topic is needed too. 80% of women show up to a menopause-related doctor visit and walk out with no treatment. Not “no hormones” no treatment at all.  That stat frames a bigger problem we see every day: when you say “I don’t feel like myself,” the system often has no place to put you unless your labs or imaging scream in black and white.  We sit down with the Nurse Practitioner Jess works with, Crystal Harter, an HRT expert who built her practice around the opposite model: more time, more listening, and real follow-up. We talk through: Why perimenopause can start years earlier than most people realize, Why menopause is literally one date (one year without bleeding),Why the years before menopause can feel like living in hormone limbo. What about adding hormones to your blood work panel? Crystal days "don't bother." It's misleading during perimenopause because fluctuations make “in range” results meaningless for many patients. We also get practical about hormone replacement therapy: why it’s rarely one-and-done, how dosing and delivery routes matter (oral vs transdermal), and why “HRT didn’t work for me” often just means the plan wasn’t managed long enough or tailored well enough. We cover prevention benefits like bone health and osteoporosis prevention, plus the bigger picture of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and brain health.  Men, we can't leave you out of the picture either. Men can be affected by  low testosterone, low libido, and more. When possible we highly recommend when you're in a partnership, both couples take a look at their hormones. We don't want either one of them to be out of sync.   If you’ve been told you’re too young, your labs look fine, or your symptoms are “just stress,” press play and take notes. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this conversation, and leave a review so more people can find real menopause and perimenopause help using hormones and peptides.

    BONUS: How A Second Home Became Possible Without More Office Hours

    Ready to make money when you leave the office? This isn't just a dream for Jessica anymore. It's reality.  Peptides get talked about like a trend, but what we really want is lasting change: more energy, more options, and a life that isn’t chained to the clock. We open with a simple idea that hits hard, we don’t work only to pay bills. We work to build dreams, and today Jess shares what it feels like when a decades-long goal finally becomes real. Jess gets emotional walking us through closing on a second home in Florida, just minutes from the beach! Her dream has become a reality. All from saying yes to an opportunity that she could get behind and going after it.  35 years as a massage therapist, she knows the reality of a physically demanding, time-for-money career, and why longevity matters when your income depends on you being in the office.  Dive inside as we learn what brought her the income to step away from the office and at the same time, what pays for the second home in her dream location.  But this story goes deeper than real estate. This decision also supports their son’s transfer to flight school, giving him stable housing and helping the family avoid throwing money away on rent while he trains for a career that’s long and expensive.  Leave it to Dr Kylie to leave you with a mindset reminder: work smart AND hard.  Share this with a friend and if you haven't yet, subscribe for more. We drop episodes at random. Pep Talk, share this with a friend chasing a big goal, and leave a review telling us: what dream are you ready to fund next? Where do you start with peptide therapy?

    #50 What The July FDA Hearing Could Mean For Compounded Peptides

    The internet loves a scary headline, and “peptides placed in category two” might be the most misunderstood one yet. We’re Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke, and we’re slowing the noise down to explain what’s actually happening with the FDA’s July 23–24 hearing and why it directly affects patient access to compounded peptides. It started back in 2023 when compounding pharmacies pushed back against government regulation. What happened then and what's happening now revolves around the FDA's category 1 and category 2 classifications. These classifications affect our access to them.  What exactly do these classifications mean though? And what's the difference between the DEA and the FDA?  Inside this episode, we also tackle:  503A pharmacies 503C pharmacies The FDA hearing happening July 23 and 24th What peptides are getting reclassifiedWhy this process will take longer than one weekend Let's face the reality: when regulated access disappears, people will get pushed into the gray market with questionable sourcing and risky kitchen mixes. It's already bad enough. We don't want it to become worse. If you care about peptide therapy, compounding pharmacy policy, and safe wellness options, hit play, share this with someone who’s seeing the misinformation, and leave a review so more people can find clear answers.

    #49 Peptides Cause Cancer? Jen's Oncologist Was the One Who Recommended Them.

    A teratoma on her ovary. Then Hashimoto's. Then breast cancer. When it rains, it pours — and for Jen Gifford Wersland, it absolutely did. In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Jen, a breast cancer survivor whose story is equal parts harrowing and hopeful. From being dismissed in the ER with an IBS diagnosis (while carrying a peach-sized ovarian tumor) to navigating 12 rounds of chemo, a mastectomy, sudden menopause, and a reactivated Epstein-Barr virus — Jen's body had been through war. And the inflammation to prove it. Then her oncologist brought up microdosing tirzepatide. And Jen almost walked out. In this episode you'll hear: Why Jen pushed back on her ER diagnosis and the CT scan that changed everythingWhat a teratoma actually is (and why you probably shouldn't Google it)How Jen combined conventional cancer treatment with naturopathic support — and why that naturopath made all the differenceThe real truth about peptides and cancer — and why her oncologist was the one recommending themWhy medical oversight isn't optional when you have a cancer historyHer full peptide stack: microdose tirzepatide, glutathione, thymosin alpha-1, and PT141The MTHFR mutation, estrogen detox pathways, and why the Dutch test revealed what nobody else had caughtWhat "feeling better than I did at 35" looks like at nearly 50 — and why she's ready to bring it onIf you've been told peptides aren't safe after cancer, this episode is a must-listen. And if you've been quietly suffering and putting everyone else first — Jen has something to say to you too.

    #48 Migraines for 35 Years — Gone for Now 7 Months. What Finally Gave Amy Relief?

    What if the migraines you've managed your entire life weren't just about triggers — but about what your body was never making in the first place? In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Amy Cassles, a health-conscious, fitness-minded woman who spent 35 years doing everything right — and still couldn't outrun her migraines. From blood pressure meds and anti-seizure drugs in her teens and 20s, to a candida cleanse, sinus surgery, breast implant removal, and even a partial hysterectomy — Amy tried it all. And still, one stressful moment could send her to bed, vomiting, unable to open her eyes. Then she discovered something she'd been skeptical of for years. In this episode you'll hear: How migraines stole Amy's childhood, teenage years, and countless milestones as an adultWhy her neurologist told her, "You don't have triggers — you are the trigger"The MTHFR genetic mutation and what poor methylation has to do with chronic inflammationWhy her first experience with semaglutide failed How microdosing a GLP-1/GIP peptide at a third of the lowest recommended dose changed everythingWhat 7 migraine-free months feels like after a lifetime of walking on eggshellsBonus: we had to share Amy's mom's arthritis turnaround too.  If you know of someone who suffers with migraines and/or arthritis, please forward this episode to them.   If you or someone you love suffers from chronic migraines — or has written off GLP peptides because of the horror stories — this episode is for you.
