Peptides are everywhere right now, but what are they, and are they actually safe?
With news that the FDA may lift restrictions on certain peptides, this is about to become a much bigger conversation. In this episode, I break down everything you need to know, including what peptides are, how they work, and whether they’re worth the hype.
I also share my perspective after doing a deep dive into the research, and why I’ve changed my stance on peptides, while still having reservations.
If peptides do become more widely available, this is what you need to know to make an informed decision.

Sea moss, colostrum, and berberine are some of the most talked about supplements right now, with claims around gut health, weight loss, blood sugar control, and overall wellness.
The truth is, many supplements aren’t completely useless, but they’re often overhyped and misunderstood. Without the right foundation, sleep, nutrition, and daily habits, no supplement is going to fix your health.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be taking supplements or not, this episode will help you think about it more clearly.

GLP-1s now being available in a pill could change weight loss forever. But is this a good thing?
In this episode of Healthy Not Complicated, I break down what Ozempic and Wegovey becoming available as a daily pill actually changes, and just as importantly, what it doesn’t.
Using three recent headlines as examples, including the Wegovy pill, the rise of fibermaxxing, and the growing trend of wellness stacking, we talk about why health headlines often feel like the answer to all your problems, and why that promise rarely plays out the way we hope.
This episode also includes The Sip with Sodii, where I answer a listener question from the last episode.

The carnivore diet is taking over social media, promising "magical" results for inflammation, weight loss, and clear skin. But as a nutritionist who was once fully carnivore, I’m sharing an expose on why this radical simplicity often breaks down when it leaves the online bubble and enters the real world.
Today, we look at why influencers still promote extreme meat-only diets, and it often has more to do with "the algorithm than long-term metabolic health.
We discuss why it works as a short-term elimination diet to reset your insulin sensitivity, but why the mental toll and "white knuckling" makes it unsustainable for the 88% of Americans struggling with metabolic dysfunction.
