Hello my love! In today’s episode, we dive into the peptide trend that’s taken over social media. From skin healing to GLP-1 weight loss injections d what’s actually happening inside the body. I'm breaking down what peptides are, how they work and the main ones circulating right now - including BPC-157, GHK-Cu and the weight loss medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide.
