    Ep. 613 The Role of Peptides in Longevity and Midlife Health with Nathalie Niddam | Menopause, Perimenopause, Peptides

    Today, I am thrilled to connect with a friend and colleague, Nat Niddam. Nat is a certified holistic nutritionist and epigenetic coach, and host of the Longevity with Nat Niddam podcast. She has one of the most engaged professional and public communities focused on peptide education and longevity protocols. In today's discussion, we explain what peptides are and how they differ from HRT. We explore the differences between bioregulators and signaling peptides, clarify how peptides affect neurological and gut health, discuss beneficial peptides for muscle health and longevity, and examine the challenges surrounding peptide hype. We also explain why discernment is essential if you are considering peptides as part of a treatment plan with a licensed medical provider, and highlight specific topical peptides that can be helpful for aging skin. I look forward to having Nat back to continue our conversation about peptide therapies. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What are peptides? How signaling peptides differ from bioregulators Why it’s essential to work with a knowledgeable practitioner when considering peptides Why sleep, hormones, stress levels, and gut health must be optimized before utilizing peptides How peptides can support recovery, muscle maintenance, and heavy training periods The importance of finding trustworthy practitioners and being skeptical of claims that sound too good to be true Peptide compounds that can help people recover faster between workouts Peptides and bioregulators that can support the immune system as we age Topical peptides that can support collagen, elastin, wound healing, and skin repair Bio: Nathalie Niddam Nathalie Niddam, a holistic nutritionist and longevity educator, is dedicated to helping us all live joyful, vibrant lives well into our 50s, 60s, and beyond.

    BONUS: Protein, Creatine and Training for Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Stacy Sims

    I am honored to connect with Dr. Stacy Sims today. She is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist on a mission to revolutionize exercise and nutrition performance- particularly for women. In our conversation, we discussed the exclusion of women from research in the modern science era and how gender differences begin in utero. We look into the importance of tracking our menstrual cycles, the differences between follicular and luteal phases, and problematic ovulatory cycles, exploring the current research on oral contraceptives, the impact of the Women's Health Initiative, and the kind of training that is essential for women in perimenopause and menopause. We also cover the physiologic changes that occur in perimenopause and menopause, and Dr. Sims shares her thoughts on weight loss resistance, SECO, undereating, the importance of protein, and essential supplements for middle-aged women. I know you will love this invaluable conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why are women still excluded from many studies? How the physiological differences between men and women begin in utero and continue through adulthood How stress during pregnancy affects the developing fetus How the muscle morphology of women differs from that of men Why girls need to learn new ways to move and build strength during puberty How tracking menstrual cycle phases helps women optimize their training The potential long-term effects of using oral contraceptives Why a diverse diet is essential for supporting gut health Common misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy Why Dr. Sims recommends creatine for women in perimenopause and menopause Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website.
