The Rever Rundown with Mimi Deal

GHK-Cu, the copper peptide currently positioned across social media as a near-miraculous anti-aging compound, has actually been studied for more than four decades.In this episode, we take an honest look at GHK-Cu as an anti-aging cure-all. We cover what 40+ years of research actually shows, the difference between GHK and GHK-Cu, the human topical studies that support its use, the gaps in the data on injectable use, the labs to monitor (especially copper and zinc), and how it compares to free alternatives like exercise, vitamin C, and retinol.We also slow down and look at what the research truly supports, what remains speculative, and how to evaluate this peptide with the same clinical rigor we would apply to any therapeutic decision.We close with the lab work to consider before starting, the patient profiles most likely to benefit, and a reminder that one of the most powerful interventions for the same gene-expression benefits is something far more accessible: thirty minutes of exercise, three times per week, which has been shown to reset mitochondrial gene expression to that of a younger person.If you have been wondering whether GHK-Cu lives up to the hype and how to use it thoughtfully if you choose to, this episode is for you.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code PATREON10 for 10% off first monthSubscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠- Get $20 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gramms Protein⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Get $20 off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethlete⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠15% off code: REVER15 Book a complimentary call with Nexus Point: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠Chapters00:00 Intro00:06 Introduction to GHK-CU: The Skin Peptide Phenomenon01:21 Understanding GHK and GHK-CU: The Science Behind the Peptide03:47 Mechanisms of Action: How GHK-CU Works06:49 Research and Studies: Evidence Supporting GHK-CU13:18 Potential Benefits: Wound Healing and Anti-Aging Effects15:59 Risks and Contraindications: What to Consider Before Use17:15 Dosing and Administration: Guidelines for Safe Use19:17 Conclusion: The Future of GHK-CU and Alternatives22:17 Outro

In this episode, we break down peptides. What they are, how they work in the body, and which categories are most relevant in modern medicine. Peptides are everywhere; across social media, wellness clinics, and patient questions in nearly every functional and integrative medicine practice. They are also one of the most misunderstood categories in modern medicine.We cover GLP-1s, growth hormone-releasing peptides, healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, skin and cosmetic peptides, and immune-modulating peptides, along with the safety questions every patient should ask before starting one.For each category, we cover the proposed mechanism, the available human data, what is FDA approved and what is not, the theoretical risks worth understanding, and the patient profiles most likely to benefit. We also walk through the critical safety questions every patient should ask before starting sourcing peptides, third-party testing, certificates of analysis, compounding pharmacy regulation, and the meaningful differences between compounded medications, investigational compounds, and research chemicals.This episode is meant to do what social media cannot: give you the framework to make a thoughtful, informed decision about whether peptides belong in your protocol, and how to use them safely if they do.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code PATREON10 for 10% off first monthSubscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠- Get $20 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gramms Protein⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Get $20 off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethlete⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠15% off code: REVER15 Book a complimentary call with Nexus Point: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠Chapters00:00 Intro00:06 Introduction to Peptides00:38 Understanding Peptides: Basics and Functions01:58 Peptides in Medicine: Applications and Limitations02:50 Categories of Peptides: Metabolic and Growth Hormone05:07 Healing and Regeneration Peptides07:04 Cosmetic and Skin Peptides08:24 Immune Modulating Peptides08:49 Safety and Regulation of Peptides11:14 Conclusion: Making Informed Decisions about Peptides12:46 Outro

In this episode, we take on testosterone, the hormone that became a controlled substance in the 1990s after decades of misuse, and that remains one of the most misunderstood pieces of the hormonal picture for both women and men.We cover what testosterone actually is, where it is produced, and why women have higher absolute levels of testosterone across their lifetime than estrogen or any other hormone. We unpack the role testosterone plays in libido and sexual function, mood and cognition, muscle protein synthesis, bone density, fat distribution, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health and we talk honestly about what happens when levels are too low, too high, or out of balance.We also dig into what testosterone is and is not FDA approved for, why hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in postmenopausal women remains the only female indication, and why so many of the broader benefits women experience on testosterone therapy fall outside conventional prescribing guidelines. Throughout, we explore the difference between physiological replacement and supraphysiologic dosing, the nuance between free and total testosterone, and what to look for in a provider who works with hormones thoughtfully.If you have wondered whether your fatigue, low drive, mood changes, or loss of strength might be hormonal, this episode is for you.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code PATREON10 for 10% off first monthSubscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠- Get $20 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gramms Protein⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Get $20 off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethlete⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠15% off code: REVER15 Book a complimentary call with Nexus Point: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HEREChapters00:00 Intro00:16 What is Testosterone?00:44 Testosterone in Men and Women01:26 Production and Feedback Loop01:46 Role of Testosterone02:23 Impact on Body and Health04:12 FDA Approval and Clinical Use05:41 Balancing Testosterone Levels06:31 Final Takeaways06:59 Outro

We need to talk about vibration plates. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about whole body vibration plates because they are all over my Instagram feed and I was so close to buying one. So before I dropped the money, I did what I always do, I went down the research rabbit hole so you don't have to.I walk you through what whole body vibration plates actually are and I break down every major claim you've seen on social media: strength building, balance, bone density, metabolism, and lymphatic drainage.I also talked to a physical therapist friend of mine, and we are on the same page: the data just isn't there yet to recommend these devices broadly. What I found interesting in my research is that vibration therapy actually has legitimate clinical roots. The problem is that the professional-grade equipment used in those clinical settings is very different from what's being sold to you on Amazon. Most consumer devices don't even list their Hz frequency, which is a major red flag, because the frequencies that showed any benefit in research tend to be on the higher end.Spoiler: I’m not buying one.But I’ll tell you exactly what studies say, who might actually benefit, and what to look for if you still want one. And as always, if I ever change my mind, you’ll be the first to know.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code PATREON10 for 10% off first monthSubscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠- Get $20 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gramms Protein⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Get $20 off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethlete⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠15% off code: REVER15 Book a complimentary call with Nexus Point: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERELinks to purchase equipment on Amazon or affiliate links: 1.

In this live panel episode of The Rever Rundown, I am joined by women’s health experts: Dr. Luly Diez-Arguelles of Freya Wellness, Lauren Steiner of Osoa Nutrition, and health psychologist Teresa Chamorro to break down perimenopause symptoms, postpartum recovery, hormone changes, and mental health. We discuss why issues like weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disruption are often dismissed but are actually key signs of hormonal imbalance. The conversation covers how long perimenopause lasts, how hormones impact metabolism and mood, and why lab tests don’t always reflect what’s really happening in your body. You’ll also learn practical strategies for nutrition, pelvic health, and strength training, plus how to advocate for yourself when it comes to hormone therapy and care. If you’ve ever been told “this is just part of aging,” this episode will change how you think about women’s health.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠HERE⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code PATREON10 for 10% off first monthSubscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠- Get $20 off⁠⁠⁠⁠Gramms Protein⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Get $20 off ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethlete⁠⁠⁠⁠ 15% off code: REVER15 Book a complimentary call with Mimi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠Dr. Luly Diez-ArguellesWebsiteInstagramLauren SteinerWebsiteInstagramChapters00:00 Intro00:10 Guests Introduction03:19 Common Misdiagnoses in Women's Health04:09 Perimenopause and Nutrition Misunderstandings06:00 Mental Health During Perimenopause07:43 Audience Question: Perimenopause Duration08:39 Iron Levels and Gut Health11:00 Postpartum vs. Perimenopause12:17 Hormonal Changes and Mental Health24:14 Nutrition Tips for Hormonal Balance28:31 Exercise and Bone Density42:43 Final Takeaways46:11 Outro

In this episode, I’m sitting down with two of my favorite people–who also happen to be my family, Dr. Luly Diez-Arguelles and Dr. Amanda Cereijo are both Doctors of Physical Therapy and co-founders of Freya Wellness Co. and we are going there. All of it.We’re talking about pelvic floor dysfunction, what it actually is, why symptoms like leaking, prolapse, and painful sex are so common but so rarely talked about, and why the kegels you’ve been doing your whole life are probably wrong. They also walk us through a live diaphragmatic breathing exercise, we break down what a first PT visit looks like (yes, including the internal exam), and we get into how your pelvic floor is connected to everything from back pain and bone density to orgasm.We also talk about the shame that keeps so many women silent for years and why common is not the same as normal. Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just quietly modifying your life around a symptom you think you have to accept, this episode is for you. It is never too late to get help.And because we’re family, we go a little off-script too, into what it took to leave their jobs and build Freya from scratch, and what a business partnership actually looks like when it works.

In this episode, I sit down with Carly Alarcón, the founder of YVB, for one of those conversations I've been wanting to have for a long time. Carly's path into medicinal mushrooms started the same way a lot of great things do, she went looking for a product she could actually trust, couldn't find one, and decided to build it herself.We talk about what supplement integrity really means beyond the buzzword. Carly breaks down exactly what to look for on a label, why the sourcing and extraction method matters more than most people realize, and the red flags that should make you put something back on the shelf.We also get into adaptogens: what they are, how they work, and why consistency is everything when it comes to seeing real results. Plus, Carly shares the sustainable practices baked into YVB from day one and why she believes the cleanest products are almost always the most effective ones.Whether you're just getting curious about functional mushrooms or you're already deep in your wellness routine, this conversation will sharpen how you think about what you're actually putting in your body.*Disclaimer:Turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) is widely studied in integrative oncology for its immune-modulating properties. Compounds in the mushroom–especially polysaccharide-K (PSK) and polysaccharopeptide (PSP)–do not directly kill cancer cells in humans, but they can enhance the body’s immune response to tumors. These compounds act as biological response modifiers that stimulate immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells, CD8+ T cells, and dendritic cells, and increase cytokine signaling involved in antitumor immunity. Experimental studies also show that turkey tail extracts can inhibit cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis in laboratory models, although these effects occur at concentrations that may not reflect clinical dosing.Clinically, PSK has been used in Japan as an adjunct to chemotherapy, and randomized trials and meta-analyses suggest modest improvements in survival outcomes for some cancers, including colorectal and gastric cancer, when combined with conventional therapy. However, the certainty of evidence remains low to moderate due to small study sizes and older chemotherapy protocols, so turkey tail is considered a complementary–not curative, approach in cancer care.Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See full show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patient: ⁠HERE⁠Medical Providers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠Hume Health⁠ - Get $20 offGramms Protein - Get $20 off Ethlete 15% off code: REVER15 Book a call with Mimi: HEREPatreonUse code PATREON10 10% off first monthCarly AlarconWebsiteInstagramChapters00:00 Intro00:18 Guest Introduction: Carly Alarcon01:22 Carly's Personal Health Journey03:33 Founding of YVB05:45 The Role of Mushrooms and Adaptogens06:52 Meditation and Stress Management09:22 Business Evolution and Product Offerings14:53 Environmental and Ethical Practices19:49 Family Business Dynamics22:38 Maintaining Wellness as an Entrepreneur27:11 Product Showcase and Recommendations36:36 Supplement Industry Insights42:44 Future Plans for YVB44:13 Conclusion44:34 Outro

In this episode, I’m diving into the phase of life that no one really prepares us for, perimenopause. The mood shifts, the anxiety, the sleep changes, the weight that suddenly feels harder to manage, the brain fog that makes you question yourself and the frustrating reality of being told “your labs are normal.”I'm breaking down what's actually happening hormonally during your 30s and 40s, why perimenopause symptoms can start a full decade (or more) before menopause officially begins, and how the wild fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone impact virtually every system in your body, from your metabolism and body composition to your mental health, energy levels, and emotional resilience.This episode is for every woman who's felt dismissed, gaslit, or confused about what's happening in her own body. It's time we talk openly about perimenopause, not as something to fear or suffer through in silence, but as a transition we can understand, navigate, and optimize with the right knowledge and support.Follow us⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Website⁠⁠See full show notes⁠Become a Patient: ⁠HERE⁠Medical Providers: ⁠Join my Clinician Education Platform⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter: ⁠HERE⁠Chapters00:00 Intro01:30 What is Menopause?02:15 How Perimenopause is Different from Menopause05:23 The Menstrual Cycle07:41 Progesterone and its Importance09:24 Menstrual Cycle Recap10:05 Why is this Important in Perimenopause?13:12 When to Get Blood Work Done and Why14:29 Closing Thoughts16:43 Takeways17:23 Outro
