Biohacking with Brittany is the unfiltered women's longevity podcast hosted by Brittany Ford, a Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Longevity Medicine and Peptide Therapy Fellow. Brittany isn't afraid to talk about peptides, hormones, fertility, perimenopause, and the protocols mainstream medicine still pretends don't exist. Every week, real conversations with the doctors, researchers, and experts shaping the future of women's longevity, plus Brittany's own protocols, sources, and lived experience as a mom optimizing her health in real time. If you're done being told to \"ask your doctor\" and ready to actually take your longevity into your own hands, you're in the right place. Subscribe. Listen weekly.

It is a metabolic one. In this Her Stack episode I am walking you through exactly how to restore your metabolism so body composition follows. The goal is not weight loss. The goal is metabolic restoration. Body comp is downstream. I am breaking down the four drivers that actually run body composition (insulin, thyroid, sleep, growth hormone), the four pillars to address them (nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, peptides), and the exact peptide sequencing for women. Plus my honest take on GLP-1s including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide, where they actually fit, and why microdosing makes more sense than chasing the scale. I also share what nobody talks about. Eating less postpartum often makes body composition worse. Breastfeeding is sequencing, not failure. Growth hormone is the layer women never hear about, so they plateau and blame their age when it was a fixable signal the whole time. Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity.
