If you’re scared to start peptides because you don’t want to be on them forever, listen in.
In today’s conversation, I’m answering one of the most common and quietly loaded questions women ask me about peptide therapy: Do I have to stay on this forever? We’re unpacking where that fear really comes from, why it makes total sense, and how peptides are actually meant to be used in the body. I’ll walk you through the difference between support and dependency, what it looks like when peptides are working with your physiology (not replacing it), and why “forever” is usually the wrong framework altogether. We’ll also talk about timing, plateaus, and how to know when it’s time to continue, pause, or step back.
Press play if you want clarity before committing to peptides, without fear or pressure
