Peptides for Women

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! 
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dean Jones, and we’re diving into what’s really happening in the peptide and GLP-1 space right now. This is an important, timely conversation about regulation, safety, dosing, and why so much of the current GLP-1 messaging online is missing the bigger picture, especially for midlife women.
We talk about the growing scrutiny around research peptides, why GLP-1s are under the microscope, and how fear-based headlines are creating confusion for patients. Dr. Jones explains the difference between aggressive weight-loss dosing and more conservative, long-term metabolic dosing, why microdosing is gaining traction, and how GLP-1s actually work in the brain and body beyond appetite suppression. If you’re trying to understand GLP-1s without hype (or panic), this episode brings clarity.
In this episode, we cover:
Why GLP-1s are facing increased regulatory scrutiny
The difference between research peptides and prescription use
How misinformation is shaping public fear around GLP-1s
Why high dosing often backfires long-term
What microdosing GLP-1s is, and who it’s for
Appetite regulation vs true metabolic support
Food noise, weight regain, and brain signaling
Muscle loss concerns and how dosing impacts outcomes
Why lowest effective dose matters for sustainability
What the future of GLP-1 therapy may look like

Welcome back to the Peptides for Women podcast!
This is a special bonus episode to share something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a long time: Peptides for Practitioners, our brand-new certification course designed to take the confusion, guesswork, and overwhelm out of peptides.
If you’re a practitioner, health coach, or even someone who keeps getting asked about peptides and isn’t sure what’s actually safe, ethical, or effective, this episode is for you. And if you’re not a practitioner but want a deeper, responsible understanding of peptides, you can absolutely take this course too!
Peptides for Practitioners is our certification course that teaches you the science, safety, and real-world strategy behind peptide therapy, so you can confidently integrate them into your existing protocols for fat loss, gut repair, inflammation, hormones, and metabolic health.
Inside the course, you’ll learn:
Exactly which peptides actually work

How to dose and stack them responsibly

How to stay within ethical and legal scope, whether you’re licensed or not

And how to layer peptides with nutrition, labs, lifestyle, and hormone work to get better results (without burnout!)

In March 2026, we’re hosting a live cohort with four interactive calls, where Tina Haupert and I walk you through real cases, answer your questions, and show you how we actually use peptides in our practices.
You’ll earn NASM continuing education units, plus get done-for-you clinical tools, white-label resources, microdosing strategies, and a full peptide integration blueprint you can start using immediately.
If you’re ready to step into one of the fastest-growing areas in functional health with confidence and credibility, Peptides for Practitioners is your next move!
For one month only, February 2026, we’re offering 50% off this course.You get the full course, which you can complete over a weekend, plus four live calls. You’ll also receive multiple bonus modules and recordings from our October 2025 live cohort.This is a steal!

In this episode, I sit down with someone I deeply admire and personally learn from, Taylor Williams. Taylor is a women’s health educator specializing in peptides, hormone optimization, and metabolic health, and she’s also the co-founder of the Axion Collective. This conversation takes a more personal and real-world turn as we talk about how peptides entered Taylor’s life, her relationship with her husband Hunter, and how education, hormones, and lived experience shaped the work they do today. This episode is equal parts science, life experience, and honest conversation about using peptides responsibly as tools, not magic fixes.
We talk about:
Taylor’s journey from the fitness and hair industry into peptides and hormone education.
How inflammation and misdiagnosis pushed her to look for alternatives.
How foundational hormone replacement therapy changed everything for her, especially as she and Hunter enter their fertility journey.
The realities of teaching peptides online right now, including social media censorship, misinformation.
Her early health challenges, inflammation, and a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
How Taylor and Hunter built a business together while respecting masculine and feminine roles
Taylor’s personal hormone replacement therapy journey
Using HCG and HMG to support sperm production
Why mitochondrial health and cellular signaling matter before pregnancy
Bioregulators, ovary support, and knowing when not to use a peptide

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!
In this episode, I sit down with Jenelle Zingg to break down why so many women in midlife feel stuck with their weight, energy, and health despite doing “all the right things”. We talk about metabolic health, insulin resistance, food noise, and why traditional dieting often backfires for women in midlife. Jenelle explains how physiology (not lack of discipline) drives many of the struggles women experience, and why tools like GLP-1s can be supportive when used appropriately and alongside foundational habits.
In this episode, we cover:
Jenelle’s background and clinical approach to women’s metabolic health
Why willpower is not the issue for most midlife women
How insulin resistance shows up in midlife, even without obvious symptoms
The role of blood sugar dysregulation in cravings and food noise
Why chronic dieting worsens metabolic flexibility over time
How GLP-1s can support appetite regulation and metabolic health
Why proper dosing and medical guidance matter with GLP-1s
The importance of protein, consistency, and realistic expectations
Why shame-based approaches keep women stuck
Reframing weight loss as a health-supportive process, not a moral one
How behavior change becomes easier when physiology is supported
