I'm 48. I've been on peptides for over a decade. Here's what I'm actually on at 48, what each one does, and why I'm on it. From topical peptides injectables, I’m sharing what I use for my skin, body, mental clarity, focus, energy, strength building and more!


Where I Source My Peptides
I work with my doctor and use a compounding pharmacy. Here are two providers I trust:

A Word Before You Click

This is what I do. Not what you should do. 

I'm sharing my own experience as a 48-year-old woman who's been on peptides for over a decade, working with a doctor, getting labs, and taking the smallest doses that work for me.

I am not a doctor, and nothing in this episode or these show notes is medical advice. Peptides are not FDA-approved for anti-aging use. Before you take anything, talk to a qualified medical provider who'll actually look at your labs and co-create a protocol with you.

If you click through to either provider link above, you are making your own decision about what to do with your body. You are agreeing that I am not liable for any outcome, side effect, or interaction that comes from a product you purchase from them. Figure out what's right for your body with a doctor. 

The choice, as always, is yours.

I started peptides over a decade ago, before they were a buzzword, before everyone was trading their firstborn to get on one. This episode is what I'm actually on at 48. What each one does. Why I'm on it. And what I've come to believe about doing this in a culture that tells women to wait for studies that aren't coming.

In This Episode:

  • The first topical peptide I ever tried that made me wonder if my skin time-traveled
  • Why people aren't actually judging the peptide... they're judging the wanting
  • The hormone peptide I've been on for 10 years and would never give up
  • The peptide I add when I need to be a fucking machine
  • The peptide that cuts my recovery from aggressive treatments in half
  • Why I'm not waiting 16 years for a study the NIH hasn't even funded yet
  • The peptide everyone's gonna fight me on (no, not Ozempic, stop)
  • The actually-simple reason I do all of this (it's not what you think)
  • The two words for any provider who hands you a script without looking at your labs
  • Why women are allowed to do whatever the fuck we want with our bodies, no permission required
