Eps 417: The Conversation Women Are Finally Starting To Have

About this episode

In this episode, Bria Gadd discusses the rising trend of peptides in midlife wellness and their implications for women's health.

Peptides are quickly becoming one of the biggest trends in midlife wellness. In this episode, I’m breaking down the peptides I’m getting asked about the most right now, from GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide to some of the lesser-known peptides being used for sleep, metabolism, brain fog, gut healing, inflammation, and nervous system support. We’re talking about what these peptides actually do inside the body, where I think women need to be careful, and why I believe so many women are missing the bigger picture when it comes to midlife weight loss and energy. I also share how I think about peptides inside real protocols, the mistakes I’m seeing women make, and why functional lab testing matters so much before jumping into the latest trend. If you’ve been curious about peptides, tempted by the hype, or wondering whether these tools could actually help your body in midlife… this episode will help you think about them in a completely different way.
