## Resource

In this episode, Jen sits down with osteopathic physician and women's health expert Dr. Paige to do a deep dive on peptides—with guardrails. They break down what peptides actually are in simple language, how they work as signaling molecules in the body, and why they're more of a "cherry on top" than a shortcut when foundations like sleep, nutrition, blood sugar, and muscle aren't in place. They also unpack the hype around microdosing GLP‑1 —why some women are using it for energy, body composition, metabolic health, and even after breast cancer—and what the emerging research and clinical experience really show so far. Jen shares her own experience microdosing GLP‑1 under Dr. Paige's care after a breast cancer diagnosis, and they discuss how insulin, inflammation, cardiovascular health, and brain health all intersect here. You'll hear a candid conversation about: What peptides are and how they differ from hormones. Why so many women in perimenopause and menopause are curious about peptides for energy, weight, and inflammation. The dangers of online buying, "peptide stacking," and DIY dosing from TikTok, discount sites, and gray‑market vials. The difference between FDA‑approved drugs, reputable compounded medications, and unregulated "research" peptides sold directly to consumers. What microdosing GLP‑1 really means, potential benefits, and what's still unknown. Why blood work, testing, and your personal "health philosophy" matter before starting any peptide. A green / yellow / red framework for women with a history of breast cancer: which peptide patterns feel more comfortable, which require extreme caution, and which are a hard no outside research settings. If you've ever thought, "Should I be on a peptide? Am I missing out?" this is the episode you listen to before you…
