#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 everything What 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 difference The real truth about peptides and cancer — and why her oncologist was the one recommending them Why medical oversight isn't optional when you have a cancer history Her full peptide stack: microdose tirzepatide, glutathione, thymosin alpha-1, and PT141 The MTHFR mutation, estrogen detox pathways, and why the Dutch test revealed what nobody else had caught What "feeling better than I did at 35" looks like at nearly 50 — and why she's ready to bring it on If 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.

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 everything
  • What 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 difference
  • The real truth about peptides and cancer — and why her oncologist was the one recommending them
  • Why medical oversight isn't optional when you have a cancer history
  • Her full peptide stack: microdose tirzepatide, glutathione, thymosin alpha-1, and PT141
  • The MTHFR mutation, estrogen detox pathways, and why the Dutch test revealed what nobody else had caught
  • What "feeling better than I did at 35" looks like at nearly 50 — and why she's ready to bring it on

If 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.
