Women are different than men when it comes to hormones and the complexity of their bodies. peptides and dosing are different for woman than men. Every woman is different on top of that. We zoom into the most beneficial peptides, dosing and protocols just for women.

The Pep Talk: peptides For Women
[4:50] Are we demanding too much of peptides?
- We need to switch the goal from “losing 30 lbs” to “becoming fit and muscular”.

[8:45] Women outlive men by 7 years on average- muscle is essential to keep them out of the nursing home.
[10:55] Top peptides for women.
- Gh secretagogues.
- Thymosin alpha-1
- BPC-157

[16:36] Is prescribing only ipamorelin an effective approach?
- It is safer in some cases, such as with cancer patients.
[20:00] peptides for skin quality.

- GHK-Cu.
[24:20] It is critical to give peptides enough time to work.

[34:20] GHK-Cu protocol
[36:51] Bioidentical hormone therapy vs. not.
- Bioidentical refers to natural hormones that are made to look like how they would look in your body.
- Non-identical- don’t molecularly look like your hormones.
[46:20] Kisspeptin vs HCG in men.

[55:40] Will these peptides be as effective in a woman who is not hormonally optimized?

[57:34] No peptide will fix a bad lifestyle and crappy eating.
[58:57] GLP-1 agonists.

- Slow down gastric motility to decrease appetite.
- Increase insulin sensitivity in the brain.
- Hugely beneficial in many diseases.
