Hi lovelies,
If you’ve been hearing whispers about peptides and wondering what the hype is all about—this episode is your deep dive.
We talk about the exact peptides we’re using (BPC-157, IGF-1, Epithalon, and more), why they’re the most effective tools we've found for aging well, and how they’re helping us glow from the inside out.
From better joint health and faster muscle recovery to firmer skin and sharper cognition, peptides have become a staple of our wellness stack.
We also break down what they are, how they work, and how to use them safely, plus the one we only take twice a year (and why).
Whether you're peptide-curious or already on the train, this episode will level up your understanding. And to close it all out, I show you how I inject them to prove it’s not so scary.
Enjoy!

Peptides 101
02:18 — The word is out (or should be): peptides are amazing. Peptides can be topical for sure, but today, we’re mostly getting into the topic of injectable peptides (sub-Q). We explain what they are, why we’re obsessed, and what they’re actually doing in your body and your skin.
Morning gamerchanger
03:58 — BPC-157 changed my mornings. For inflammation, joint pain, and not feeling like a 90-year-old when you wake up—this one’s the real MVP.
It’s not just looks, it’s feel
05:56 — Peptides and potent actives like exosomes and copper peptides are the real skincare game changers.
Gut & muscle
10:00 — More on BPC-157 and why it’s the peptide for anyone with gut issues, muscle fatigue, or mysterious soreness that shows up with age (or enter peri/menopause)
If you’re going for ‘glow’
13:25 — IGF-1 and GHK-Cu: for boosting collagen, building muscle, and giving your skin that firm, hydrated, high-functioning glow.
Aging well
17:46 — Epithalon is for lengthening telomeres and basically stopping time. It’s pricier, but it’s the one we cycle just twice a year.
Sleep, metabolism & more
19:26 — A bit on CJC & Ipamorelin for muscle tone and metabolism, plus why some peptides work best when stacked together.
We talk NAD+
20:33 — Not technically a peptide, but we had to mention it. Why NAD+ helps with energy, brain fog, and cellular function (and how to actually take it so it works). We have a whole epsiode on NAD+ coming soon so subscribe to get that in your inbox/podcast queue.
How to start. Safely.
23:10 — You don’t want to be injecting sketchy gray-market peptides. We talk sourcing, pricing, and what you really need to know before starting.
How to inject
28:06 — We demo how we do it—tiny needles, pain-free, and why it’s not as intimidating as it sounds.
