Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I sit down with someone I deeply admire and personally learn from, Taylor Williams. Taylor is a women’s health educator specializing in peptides, hormone optimization, and metabolic health, and she’s also the co-founder of the Axion Collective. This conversation takes a more personal and real-world turn as we talk about how peptides entered Taylor’s life, her relationship with her husband Hunter, and how education, hormones, and lived experience shaped the work they do today. This episode is equal parts science, life experience, and honest conversation about using peptides responsibly as tools, not magic fixes. We talk about: Taylor’s journey from the fitness and hair industry into peptides and hormone education.How inflammation and misdiagnosis pushed her to look for alternatives.How foundational hormone replacement therapy changed everything for her, especially as she and Hunter enter their fertility journey. The realities of teaching peptides online right now, including social media censorship, misinformation.Her early health challenges, inflammation, and a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosisHow Taylor and Hunter built a business together while respecting masculine and feminine rolesTaylor’s personal hormone replacement therapy journeyUsing HCG and HMG to support sperm productionWhy mitochondrial health and cellular signaling matter before pregnancyBioregulators, ovary support, and knowing when not to use a peptideConnect with Taylor Williams!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Jenelle Zingg to break down why so many women in midlife feel stuck with their weight, energy, and health despite doing “all the right things”. We talk about metabolic health, insulin resistance, food noise, and why traditional dieting often backfires for women in midlife. Jenelle explains how physiology (not lack of discipline) drives many of the struggles women experience, and why tools like GLP-1s can be supportive when used appropriately and alongside foundational habits. In this episode, we cover: Jenelle’s background and clinical approach to women’s metabolic healthWhy willpower is not the issue for most midlife womenHow insulin resistance shows up in midlife, even without obvious symptomsThe role of blood sugar dysregulation in cravings and food noiseWhy chronic dieting worsens metabolic flexibility over timeHow GLP-1s can support appetite regulation and metabolic healthWhy proper dosing and medical guidance matter with GLP-1sThe importance of protein, consistency, and realistic expectationsWhy shame-based approaches keep women stuckReframing weight loss as a health-supportive process, not a moral oneHow behavior change becomes easier when physiology is supportedConnect with Jenelle Zingg!

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Tara Turnure, founder and CEO of Beauty Drip, to talk about what really happens to a woman’s body after 35 and why doing “more” isn’t the answer. Tara shares her journey from model and TV personality to mom of three and wellness entrepreneur, and how peptides became the turning point when her body stopped responding to dieting, exercise, and willpower alone. We talk about the pressure women feel to “bounce back” after pregnancy, the damaging cycles of fad dieting and over-exercising, and how peptides offered Tara a gentler, science-backed way to restore energy, metabolism, and confidence. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss and dives into why women in midlife often feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck. And how personalized peptide protocols, paired with realistic lifestyle support, can help the body work with you again.

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the incredible Dr. Dean Jones, DC, founder of FLOA Protocols and one of my favorite voices in the peptide space. We’re going deep into GLP-1s, microdosing, fasting, and metabolic repair… but we’re also talking about the heart behind it all: mindset, spiritual growth, and finding balance while healing your metabolism. Dr. Jones shares his personal story of weight gain, loss, and recovery; how he created his FLOA Fasting Method; and why true metabolic healing starts long before the scale starts moving. We also unpack the truth about GLP-1s, why microdosing can be a game-changer, and how to avoid the trap of “functional starvation” that so many women fall into. In this episode, I cover: What “metabolically healed” really means for women in midlife The benefits of gentle weekly dosing vs. high-dose “shock and drop” methods Dr. Jones’ FLOA Protocol and how it blends fasting with metabolic healing How fasting builds resilience and mental clarity The key labs to request: fasting insulin, C-peptide, CRP, ESR, thyroid panel, and A1C Why undereating can mimic hypothyroidism (and tank your energy!)

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I got to sit down with the incredible Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer. Bria is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer, who specializes in female hormones, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos. Together, we dive deep into the real talk about perimenopause, the subtle signals our bodies send us, and how we can use functional nutrition and lifestyle tools to support our hormones naturally. In this episode, Bria and I talk about: How tuning in to your body’s cues can help you understand what your hormones are trying to tell you. Why ignoring those whispers often leads to burnout and imbalance. How peptides fit into the bigger picture of hormone health. Bria’s thoughts on supporting hormone balance through lifestyle and targeted therapies. Why exercise needs to evolve with your hormones, and what that actually looks like. How to shift from punishing workouts to movement that nourishes your body. The foundational habits that help your hormones thrive (sleep, nutrition, stress management, and gut health). Bria’s approach to helping women regain energy, clarity, and confidence in midlife. If you’ve ever felt lost in the chaos of perimenopause (exhausted, irritable, or just not like “you” anymore), this conversation is going to feel like a breath of fresh air! Connect with Bria Gadd!
