The Kim Constable Podcast

What is the Glow Stack, and why are BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu and NAD+ attracting so much attention in recovery, menopause and longevity research?

In this episode, Kim Constable shares the personal story behind her introduction to peptides and the four-compound combination she refers to as the Glow Stack.

As Kim moved further into menopause, she noticed that her body was no longer recovering as it once had. Her joints hurt, her gluteal tendinopathy became increasingly painful, training felt harder and she frequently woke feeling tired, stiff and inflamed.

After discovering GLP-1s and experiencing changes in her own joint pain, digestion and brain fog, Kim began researching the wider world of peptides. Her early research led her to BPC-157 and TB-500, followed later by GHK-Cu and NAD+.

Kim shares the changes she personally noticed after combining these compounds, including changes in recovery, strength, sleep, energy, skin, nail growth and hair growth. She then moves beyond her own experience to explain what each compound is being investigated for.

Inside this episode:

• How menopause affected Kim’s recovery, joints and energy
• Why she first began researching BPC-157 and TB-500
• What BPC-157 is being studied for in relation to tissue repair and blood-vessel formation
• How TB-500 may support the migration of repair cells through damaged tissue
• Why GHK-Cu is being investigated for collagen, inflammation and skin structure
• The role NAD+ plays in cellular energy and ATP production
• How the four compounds may work together rather than performing the same job
• The changes Kim personally noticed in her skin, hair, nails, recovery and strength
• Why personal experience is not the same as clinical evidence
• The limitations of the existing research, particularly where human trials are limited
• Potential risks, individual reactions and the importance of regular blood testing
• Why hormone health and HRT may still form the foundation of menopause support
• Why a compound that appears helpful for one woman may not suit another

Kim explains the science using a construction-site analogy: BPC-157 may help create the pathways, TB-500 may support the cellular vehicles travelling through them, GHK-Cu may provide the rebuilding instructions and NAD+ supplies the energy needed to power the work.

This episode is an accessible introduction for women who are curious about peptide research but want the mechanisms, limitations and personal experiences explained in straightforward language.

After almost a year away from the podcast, Kim Constable returns with the full story of what was really happening behind the scenes.

The Sculpted Vegan had grown from a one-woman business into a worldwide company with 43 staff and a wage bill of approximately £150,000 every month. From the outside, it looked successful. Behind the scenes, Kim was waking at 4 a.m., working relentlessly and carrying the responsibility of keeping an increasingly expensive business alive.

As Kim’s stepdad told her, she had created a monster — and the monster needed to be fed.

In this deeply honest, completely unscripted episode, Kim explains how the company’s costs eventually outran what it could sustain, why she considered mortgaging her family home and what it felt like to make most of her team redundant.

She talks about the guilt, exhaustion and loss of confidence that followed, along with two major partnership opportunities that consumed months of work before falling apart. Looking back, Kim realised that she had been hoping someone else would come along and save her.

Instead, she had to save herself.

That decision opened the door to an entirely new chapter. Kim shares how researching GLP-1s led her into the wider world of peptides, how that personal interest developed into a new business idea and how she eventually launched Verified Vials and MediVerified while rebuilding Be Sculpted.

She also reflects on returning to a much simpler life, reconnecting with her children and ultimately bringing her family into the new businesses. What began as one of the most painful periods of her life became the foundation for a smaller, stronger and far happier way of living and working.

Inside this episode:

• How The Sculpted Vegan became financially unsustainable
• The pressure of managing 43 staff and enormous monthly costs
• Why more employees did not create more freedom
• The emotional reality of making a team redundant
• Losing confidence after years of success
• Two business partnerships that collapsed before launch
• The realisation that Kim was waiting to be rescued
• How GLP-1 research led her into the peptide world
• Building and launching Verified Vials and MediVerified
• Rebuilding Be Sculpted with members and family at its heart
• The business lessons Kim learned the hardest possible way
• Why going back to basics transformed her family life
• How much can change in the space of one year

This is an episode about far more than business. It is about burnout, ambition, responsibility, failure, reinvention and recognising what truly matters before it is too late.

In this episode, Kim answers a question many women ask when they start seeing results from home workouts:

"Will I eventually need to go to the gym?"

She explains the difference between being toned, lean, muscular, and bodybuilding-level muscular, and why most women can achieve their dream physique without ever stepping foot in a gym.

• Can home workouts build enough muscle?
• The difference between toned and muscular
• Why low body fat reveals muscle definition
• How much muscle women actually need
• The truth about abs, arms, and leg definition

In this episode, Kim answers a question about creatine, water retention, and whether women should cut back on water during a shred.

She explains why drinking more water often helps the body retain less water, why dehydration can actually worsen bloating, and how bodybuilders use water manipulation before competitions.

Inside this episode:

• Does creatine cause water retention?
• Why drinking more water can reduce bloating
• The truth about cutting water during a shred
• How bodybuilders manipulate water before competitions
• Why salt intake matters more than most people realise
• The relationship between hydration and fat loss

This episode is perfect for anyone who feels bloated, struggles with water retention, or has been told to cut back on water to look leaner.

In this episode, Kim answers a question about DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and whether soreness is a sign of muscle growth.

But the conversation quickly turns into something much bigger.

Kim explains why most women never reach their true training potential, how emotional discomfort often limits progress more than physical ability, and why the biggest gains happen after things start feeling hard.

She also shares stories from training with Mark Getty and explains the difference between working hard and truly reaching failure.

Inside this episode:

• What DOMS actually means
• Why soreness doesn't equal muscle growth
• The difference between hard work and failure
• Why confidence affects the weights you choose
• The emotional challenge of pushing harder
• Where muscle growth really happens
• Why most women are stronger than they think

This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is often capable of much more than your mind believes.
