    Ovarian Longevity: Why Your Ovaries Age 15 Years Before The Rest Of You, AMH Truths, Cysts, PMOS, Endometriomas + The Sacral Chakra Nobody Told You About

    You've probably heard that your ovaries age 2.5x times faster than the rest of your body. I went looking for that study. It does not exist. In this episode I trace that number back to an uncited supplement company blog post, and then I give you the one that is real: ovarian aging shows up 15 to 20 years earlier than in any other tissue in your body. Your ovaries are not a fertility organ. They are the organ that sets the pace for your bones, your heart, your brain and how long you live. This is the first episode built on my four pillars: Nourish, Stack, Live and Align. I also share what is changing behind the scenes, including my practice, my planner, and where this brand is going next. Work with me one on one as a women's longevity practitioner and holistic nutritionist: https://biohackingbrittany.com/pages/clients WHAT I COVER The 2.5x ovarian aging myth and where it actually came from Why the Stanford organ aging clocks never included an ovary Senescence and fibrosis: it is not that the seeds run out, it is that the soil goes hard Why less than 2 percent of venture funding goes to women's health, and 90 percent of that goes to fertility Your full lab panel: AMH by age, antral follicle count, day 3 FSH and estradiol Why AMH does not predict whether you will get pregnant this month The birth control trap: if you are on hormonal contraception your AMH is wrong by 14 to 55 percent PMOS and why a high AMH is not extra time Cysts: functional, hemorrhagic, dermoids, and why the pill does not shrink one you already have Endometriomas, and what cystectomy actually costs your ovarian reserve Premature ovarian insufficiency, the 2024 criteria change, and why POI is not early menopause What the food research does and does not support CoQ10, melatonin, inositol, DHEA, vitamin D, NMN and omega 3, ranked by real human evidence Rapamycin, the VIBRANT trial, and ovarian tissue freezing The pelvic bowl in the classical Sanskrit text, and what it actually describes Jing, Tian Gui, and how Chinese medicine predicted the end of fertility at 49 How misalignment shows up in the body, and the guardrail I insist on Why clinical hypnosis is the woo that actually works TIMESTAMPS 08:03 The 2.5x ovarian aging myth, and what is actually true 13:23 Your ovaries are an endocrine organ, not a fertility organ 19:54 The labs to run, and AMH by age 23:55 If you are on birth control, your AMH is wrong 28:03 Cysts, dermoids, and what the pill does not do 32:24 Endometriomas and what surgery costs your ovarian reserve 34:20 Premature ovarian insufficiency 36:43 Nourish and Stack: food, CoQ10, melatonin, inositol, NMN 47:06 Rapamycin and ovarian tissue freezing 49:22 Align: the pelvic bowl, Chinese medicine, and how misalignment shows up 1:00:18 Clinical hypnosis, and my full protocol MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 1:1 client consults: https://biohackingbrittany.com/pages/clients The LongHer Life community, where this was recorded live: https://biohackingbrittany.com/pages/longherlife Her Stack Planner: https://biohackingbrittany.com/products/her-stack-planner Shop: https://biohackingbrittany.com/collections/shop Questions for the next live Q&A: info@biohackingbrittany.com CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biohackingbrittany/ Website: https://biohackingbrittany.com This episode is for education only and is not medical advice.

    My Personal Peptide Stack and Why I'm Taking a Break: BPC-157, TB-500, Microdosing Retatrutide, AOD-9604, GHK-Cu, NAD, Selank and Semax

    I'm a biohacker with a peptide fridge, and right now I am injecting absolutely nothing. That is probably not what you expected me to say. The internet makes it look like the goal is more compounds, stacked higher, forever. It is not. The goal is to use the right tool for a specific window, then come off it. In this solo episode I open my actual fridge. I walk through every peptide I have run recently, the real dose, why it went in, why it came out, and why I am on a full break right now. I cover my injury repair pair BPC-157 and TB-500, my body composition experiments with AOD-9604 and a Retatrutide microdose, my beauty and longevity layer with GHK-Cu and NAD nasal spray, and my brain and mood pair Selank and Semax. Then I explain why I am cycled off everything, and how to build your own stack for a female body instead of copying mine. This is my personal experience for education, not medical advice, and peptides are provider territory. If you want me to help you build and sequence your own stack around your goals and your labs, you can book a free call here.

    Peptides Just Got National Validation: Inside the Landmark FDA Vote on BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, DSIP, Epitalon + Semax

    This is a landmark day for peptides! I recorded this at 6 AM the morning between day one and day two of the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) meeting, and I'm breaking down exactly what happened, why it matters, and what it means for you depending on where you live. On day one, the committee voted YES on all four peptides they reviewed: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and MOTS-c. This went against the FDA scientists' own recommendation. There was an audible gasp in the room. Today they're voting on DSIP, Epitalon, and Semax, and I expect all three to pass too. If you'd like to work with me one-on-one, you can book a free call here. Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome + why this is a landmark peptide moment 04:50 What the FDA PCAC panel voted on and why it shocked everyone 08:00 Peptides have a champion at the very top (RFK Jr.) + the $2.2B opportunity 10:00 Why this is a win. Safety through legitimacy, licensed compounding pharmacies, real quality standards 13:50 Why national validation matters, and what this means if you're already using peptides 17:30 BPC-157. The recovery superstar. Doses, cycles, uses 20:35 TB-500. The recovery partner. The Wolverine stack with BPC-157 22:00 KPV. The anti-inflammatory gem for gut and skin 23:10 MOTS-c. Exercise mimetic, metabolic and mitochondrial support 25:35 What's on the vote today. DSIP for sleep, Epitalon for longevity, Semax for focus 27:30 Free base vs acetate. What you need to know 28:35 What this means for women. Why our physiology needs its own research 30:55 The future. Nothing is fully legal yet. The FDA still gets the final vote 33:35 The gray market will shrink but not dissolve 34:30 If you don't have a doctor. How the US telehealth model will work 35:20 What this means for Canadians and global listeners 37:00 Peptides are here to stay.

    Optimize your Blood Sugar: Belly Fat, Prediabetes, Peptides, Type 3 & 4 Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, CGMs, Inositol and GLP-1's | Her Stack Series

    Blood sugar is the master dial. If your energy crashes at 3pm, if the cravings run you, if the belly weight will not move no matter how clean you eat, this is not a willpower problem. It is a blood sugar problem, and it is fixable. In this episode I break down blood sugar for women from the ground up: what glucose and insulin actually do, the six levers that throw them off, the full diabetes spectrum from prediabetes through Types 1 to 4 (including the lean, skinny fat Type 4 that surprised me), and the exact labs and CGMs to run. Then I give you my full stack across four pillars: nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and peptides. I also get into how the GLP-1s and the growth hormone peptides move your blood sugar in opposite directions, PMOS (the newly renamed condition you have known as PCOS) where insulin is the real root, and how to actually get a CGM here in Canada now that the US apps like Levels do not ship north of the border. If you want me to build this protocol with you, you can book a free call here. Timestamps: 04:15 - What blood sugar is: glucose and insulin 07:38 - Lever 1: spikes, crashes, and cravings 11:31 - Lever 2: insulin, belly fat, and fat storage 15:45 - Lever 3: insulin resistance and HOMA-IR 19:17 - Lever 4: glycation and your HbA1c 24:04 - Lever 5: cortisol, how stress spikes sugar 26:29 - Lever 6: your hormones, cycle, and perimenopause 34:16 - The diabetes spectrum: prediabetes and Types 1 to 4 46:17 - Symptoms: how to tell your blood sugar is off 48:03 - Labs and CGMs, and how to get one in Canada 57:06 - Pillar 1: nutrition to flatten the spike 1:13:55 - Pillar 2: lifestyle, walking, muscle, sleep 1:18:45 - Pillar 3: supplements (magnesium, inositol, berberine) 1:25:43 - Pillar 4: peptides, GLP-1s, and PMOS Resources: Work with me one-on-one.

    You have a wedding, a vacation, a babymoon, a reunion, or a big shoot in about two months, and you want to walk in glowing. In this episode I give you my full 8 week glow up protocol, the same one I build for my one on one clients, and it is all from the inside out.

    In this episode, I'm giving you the full sleep protocol I built for myself and for the women I work with. Not just how to sleep longer, but how to make the hours you actually get deeper, more restorative, and more efficient. Even if you have a kid in your bed. Even if you are perimenopausal and running hot. Even if you have been broken for years. I share the exact protein-before-bed hack that ended my 3 AM wake-ups, the caffeine half-life math (why your 2 PM coffee is still in your system at 10 PM), why I do not recommend melatonin for most women, the 3 sleep peptides I trust the most (DSIP, Epitalon, Selank), and the fringe biohacks that actually move the needle.

    The Complete Perimenopause Protocol: Peptides, HRT, Labs, Nutrition, Workouts & Supplements That Actually Work | Her Stack Series

    Perimenopause is not a slow fade. It is a hormonal storm that lasts about a decade. Estrogen swings, progesterone slips first, testosterone quietly declines, and growth hormone falls alongside all of it. That is why the workout that worked at 25 stops working at 45. It is why women come to me saying "I am doing everything right and the scale will not budge." Your biology is changing, and your approach has to change with it. In this episode I'm giving you my top recommendations for every pillar so you walk away with a real protocol, not a pile of overwhelm. We cover the exact biomarker labs to ask for, the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) now that the black box warning is finally off, the protein and blood sugar shifts your body actually needs in this decade, the strength training and lifestyle biohacks that move the needle, the top supplements that matter, and the foundational and advanced peptide and bioregulator stacks I recommend most often.

    Q&A: Where Would We Raise Our Family in Central America?, Wolverine Blend vs. Singles, Selank Peptide vs. Psilocybin & GHK-Cu Body Cream

    This week is a Q&A episode in two parts. In Part 1, I give you the honest, real-numbers breakdown of the four Central American countries we keep weighing for our family: Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico. Rent, nannies, food, healthcare, schools, and flights from Canada. In Part 2, I answer three of the peptide questions you sent me: the Wolverine blend for an ACL tear, Selank vs psilocybin microdosing, and whether GHK-Cu actually works in a body cream. Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity.

    Body Composition Protocol for Women: Peptides, Growth Hormone, Protein, GLP-1s & The Complete Metabolic Reset | Her Stack Series

    Your body after a baby was never a calorie problem. It is a metabolic one. In this Her Stack episode I am walking you through exactly how to restore your metabolism so body composition follows. The goal is not weight loss. The goal is metabolic restoration. Body comp is downstream. I am breaking down the four drivers that actually run body composition (insulin, thyroid, sleep, growth hormone), the four pillars to address them (nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, peptides), and the exact peptide sequencing for women. Plus my honest take on GLP-1s including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide, where they actually fit, and why microdosing makes more sense than chasing the scale. I also share what nobody talks about. Eating less postpartum often makes body composition worse. Breastfeeding is sequencing, not failure.

    Q&A: Peptides for Breastfeeding, Postpartum Weight Loss, Cancer History & How to Build Your Stack | Her Stack Series

    In this Q&A episode of the Her Stack Series, I'm answering the peptide questions you're asking me every single day in my DMs and comments: → Can I take peptides while breastfeeding? → What if I have a personal or family history of cancer? → Why won't my postpartum belly fat budge, even when I'm doing everything "right"? → Blends vs. single peptides, which is right for me? → How do I build my own peptide stack without ending up on eight injections a day? I'm unfiltered in this one. I share why there will never be clinical trials on peptides during breastfeeding (and what that really means for you when you're making the decision), the truth about growth hormone, IGF-1, and theoretical cancer risk, and my honest take on why most peptide advice from men completely misses the mark for women.

    The Complete Maternal Mental Health Protocol: Peptides, Anxiety, Depression, Bioregulators and the Science of the Postpartum Brain | Her Stack Series

    In this Her Stack series episode, I open up about maternal mental health, postpartum anxiety, and the invisible biological load mothers carry long after the six-week checkup is over. This episode is not just for the newly postpartum mother. It is for the mother whose kids are four, eight, fifteen, and still asking herself why she does not feel like herself. I share why motherhood structurally changes the brain, hormones, and nervous system, and why so many mothers are left feeling anxious, foggy, depleted, or unlike themselves without ever being properly screened or supported. I walk you through the science of the postpartum neurosteroid withdrawal, the gray matter changes that persist for years, and the five-system map underneath maternal brain fog. Then I break down the full four-pillar protocol I use with my one-to-one clients: foundational nutrition, lifestyle and biohacking tools, the supplement layer including some of the most under-discussed compounds for the maternal brain, and the advanced peptide layer including Semax, Selank, NAD+, and bioregulators.

    Why Kids May Be Aging Faster Than They Should: C15:0, Nutrition Gaps, and Brain Health with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson of Fatty15

    Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, veterinary epidemiologist, public health scientist, and co-founder of Fatty15 (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), shares the latest science on C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid she describes as the first essential fatty acid to emerge in over 90 years. This conversation explores why C15 may be foundational for cellular resilience, metabolic health, liver health, brain development, and long-term vitality. Stephanie explains how low C15:0 levels may contribute to fragile cells, accelerated aging, and modern health issues, and why this nutrient matters not just for adults, but for pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies, and children. We also talk about food sources like full-fat dairy, cheese, butter, goat and sheep products, why grass-fed matters, how to test your C15:0 levels, and why supplement quality is becoming more important than ever. Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity. WE TALK ABOUT: 00:35 - What C15:0 is and why it's being called the first essential fatty acid in over 90 years 02:55 - How low C15:0 may contribute to fragile cells and accelerated aging 05:55 - The difference between omega-3s and C15:0 for cell flexibility and resilience 07:20 - Why C15:0 matters during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infant development 11:20 - The "longevity zone" for C15:0 and what higher levels may indicate 15:10 - Why supplement testing and third-party verification matter 18:30 - How C15:0 compares to other longevity molecules like NAD, metformin, and rapamycin 23:35 - Why C15:0 needs to be consumed regularly through food or supplementation 25:00 - Why vegans and dairy-free women may be at higher risk for low C15:0 levels 26:50 - The best food sources of C15:0, including cheese, butter, and grass-fed dairy 30:10 - Why Fatty15 created gummies for kids and families 37:35 - What we know, and don't know yet, about C15:0 and children's brain health 41:30 - Why the Navy patent may help protect supplement quality and trust 44:30 - How kids are responding to the new Fatty15 gummies 47:50 - Where to learn more, buy Fatty15, and read the research RESOURCES: Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity.

    How I Got Into Peptides & Why Every Woman Should Know About Them

    I'm finally sharing my full peptide journey: how it started after weaning Callahan, why MOTS-c was my first, and the exact stack I'm using right now for energy, skin, and longevity.
