00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Welcome to Peptides for Women. 
I'm Jennifer Woodward and this 

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,560
is your podcast for smart, 
honest conversations about 

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
peptide therapy and midlife 
Wellness. 

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,440
We cover everything from GLP 
ones to BPC 157, plus the 

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,560
foundations that still matter, 
sunlight, steps, strength 

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560
training, protein and minerals. 
So if you're ready to feel 

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,480
better with science, back tools,
and natural habits that actually

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,240
work, you're in the right place.
Let's dive in. 

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,960
I have to address the question I
get more than almost any other 

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,160
question, More than what do I do
about my belly fat, more than is

11
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,960
this perimenopause, and 
honestly, probably more than 

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,480
questions from my own family. 
Where do I get my peptides? 

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,920
So here's the answer. 
I've been working with LEMD now 

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,760
for about a year and I genuinely
love them. 

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,280
The physician oversight, the 
quality of the peptides, and the

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,240
business opportunity they've 
built for practitioners like me 

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,360
is the real deal. 
If you want to order your own 

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,319
peptides, the link is in the 
show notes. 

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880
It's super easy. 
And if you're a practitioner and

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,480
you want to talk about how LEMD 
can work in your own practice, 

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,400
reach out to me directly. 
The conversation is free and 

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,080
it's a good one. 
But a couple of quick disclosure

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,240
is because I'm a legally 
responsible adults, if you 

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,280
purchase through my show notes 
link, I do earn an affiliate 

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,400
income. 
Thank you. 

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,520
I also want to be clear that I'm
not a doctor and I don't 

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,880
diagnose, treat, or prescribe 
anything. 

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160
I'm just a woman who did a lot 
of research, has a lot of 

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,760
feelings about her hormones, and
now has a podcast about it. 

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,440
OK, now let's get into it. 
Welcome back to the Peptides for

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,800
Women podcast. 
I'm Jennifer Woodward, and it 

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,160
was Easter for me yesterday. 
So today we're recording on 

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Easter Monday, and I'm very 
excited to welcome Doctor Angela

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,720
Peterson to the show. 
So Angela Peterson helps women 

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,960
get out of survival mode and 
back into metabolic balance 

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,080
using tools like peptides. 
She focuses on weight loss, 

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,400
energy recovery, and overall 
optimization so women can 

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,840
actually feel like themselves 
again. 

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,920
It's not about quick fixes. 
It's about fixing the roots and 

40
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,720
restoring vitality. 
I love it. 

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,840
I love to hear it. 
We talk about it all the time on

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,480
the podcast Foundations Before 
Injections. 

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,680
And so I'm excited to kind of 
dive into this with you today. 

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,960
But First off, what did you do 
for Easter yesterday? 

45
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Had brunch with my family and 
then played golf with my husband

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,040
so it was pretty good. 
Golfer a How long have you been 

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,640
golfing? 
Oh, I mean on and off for the 

48
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,720
last five years, but I still 
terrible. 

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,880
But I do enjoy it. 
Like just the getting outside. 

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,480
And yeah, and it's just, it's 
fun. 

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,800
It's a fun activity with my 
husband and friends and yeah, it

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,800
was good. 
Nice, good way to spend time 

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,480
together. 
And then you guys had some 

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,840
delicious some brunch together. 
And some mimosas of course. 

55
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,880
But yes, it was. 
I love it. 

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,800
A very Easter. 
Very, very, very spring, very 

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Easter. 
Yes, I walked a lot this morning

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,920
after our Easter. 
Yesterday we had Easter first at

59
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:22,600
my mother in It was a good day. 
So before we hopped on, you were

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920
telling me a little bit that 
wasn't in your bio. 

61
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,560
You told me you wrote a book. 
So let's take that. 

62
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Talk to me about your book, 
Angela. 

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Oh, thanks. 
I appreciate that. 

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,920
You know, I, I wrote a book. 
It's called The Wellness Glitch 

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,160
and it's really dissecting the 
systems that we have been told 

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,600
to trust for our health and why 
these systems aren't working 

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520
anymore, why we don't feel very 
good. 

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,480
And I also tie in, you know, a 
lot of political, some spiritual

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,640
and some environmental things, 
mostly like community that are 

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,680
breaking down and not serving 
people in the ways that it that 

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360
we used to. 
The healthcare insurance 

72
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,800
industrial complex, I like to 
call it, I think is a mess. 

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,400
I think it's a sick care model, 
not a healthcare model. 

74
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,160
And insurance premiums are going
through the roof. 

75
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,959
People are paying incredible 
amounts of money for things they

76
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,360
really don't even utilize. 
And we're just, we're sicker and

77
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,120
sicker than we ever used to be. 
Chronic illness is everywhere. 

78
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,080
People are on way too many 
medications. 

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,160
And, you know, we've gotten to 
this point where, you know, you 

80
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,120
have a complaint, you go get a 
pill. 

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Well, you have another 
complaint, you go get another 

82
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,160
pill. 
And that's just not health, 

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,640
That's not longevity, that's not
fixing your root cause of, you 

84
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,960
know, what's wrong. 
And I was seeing a lot of these 

85
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,960
patterns in my clients and it 
was just driving me crazy. 

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,080
And you know, I would, I just 
thought about it like, what are 

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,040
we? 
We're really doing something 

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,480
fundamentally wrong with 
ourselves, our systems. 

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,360
And you know, we were told to 
trust the experts on so many 

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640
things. 
And a lot of the things that 

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,360
we've trusted experts on have 
been refuted and have been 

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,840
completely dismissed by 
research, by practical 

93
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,360
experience. 
And getting out of that loop is,

94
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,400
is really important to take over
agency over your own health and 

95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,000
to make decisions and to live a 
better life and just feel 

96
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,480
better. 
You know, I get complaints of 

97
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,440
fatigue. 
I don't feel like myself 

98
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,720
anymore. 
And, you know, I'm gaining 

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,480
weight. 
I don't know why I'm not having,

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,440
you know, good sexual 
experience. 

101
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,360
So a lot of these things are 
just very similar for so many 

102
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080
people. 
And when we peel back the layers

103
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,880
of what's really going on, you 
know, we can get to a point of 

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,120
really optimizing ourselves. 
I mean, good relationships, 

105
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,200
having a good sex life with your
partner, being at an ideal 

106
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,480
weight, getting your hormones 
balanced. 

107
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,040
And I think when you get all of 
those things kind of squared 

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,600
away, you just become a better 
person. 

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,000
And when you're a better person,
you're better citizen and you 

110
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,560
take care of your families 
better, we get rid of a lot of 

111
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,320
stress. 
So that's really my goal is to 

112
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,920
just help people untangle what 
they thought they knew they were

113
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,880
doing and and really give them 
better suggestions to to live a 

114
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,240
healthier life. 
Yep, the holistic picture. 

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,160
It reminds me of something I 
read a few years ago that I'm 

116
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,880
constantly thinking about that 
in ancient Chinese medicine, 

117
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,960
people would only pay their 
doctors their if they were well,

118
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,400
they wouldn't pay for sick care.
They would pay if they were 

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,000
healthy. 
And it's such a a difference 

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,080
today when like you said, I mean
insurance companies and you 

121
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,680
know, pharmaceutical companies, 
they get paid so well for 

122
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,480
legions, legions of sick people 
and the sick that you're talking

123
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,440
about that I'm talking about, 
this isn't, you know, this isn't

124
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160
cancer, right? 
This isn't like like 

125
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,440
cardiovascular disease. 
This is people who do not feel 

126
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,680
well. 
Well, like you were talking 

127
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,200
about low sex drive, low energy,
inability to lose weight, 

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160
compromised thyroid function, 
low metabolism. 

129
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,240
And it's just so funny that, 
like you said, we kind of farmed

130
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,320
out that care to, you know, 
traditional medicine for so long

131
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120
and look where it's gotten us, 
right? 

132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
I think that's one of the 
reasons that peptide medicine is

133
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,640
swelling, because people are 
starting to advocate for 

134
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,840
themselves and they're asking 
for something else. 

135
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,560
Yes, absolutely. 
And, you know, just a chronic 

136
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,480
illness and the obesity and the 
problems that go along with 

137
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480
these obesity. 
I mean, you know, you, you can't

138
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,880
go to any major public function 
and not just be astounded at the

139
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,080
amount of obesity out there. 
And we've just, I mean, people 

140
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720
are just getting fatter and 
fatter and fatter by the day. 

141
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,160
And you know, what comes along 
with it is high blood pressure, 

142
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,360
you know, cardiovascular 
disease, diabetes, and you're on

143
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,800
multiple medications in in no 
time. 

144
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,200
Absolutely. 
And you know, that's I think 

145
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,560
that's one of the reasons people
love going to Disneyland or on 

146
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,120
vacation sometimes because 
people are say, you know, the 

147
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,800
people watching is so great. 
But when you dig down deeper 

148
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080
into like what that people 
watching looks like, it's like, 

149
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280
you know, 30 year olds on 
motorized scooters because 

150
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,240
they're so overweight they can't
walk, you know, people who 

151
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,880
clearly aren't making the right 
choices metabolically, but maybe

152
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,559
it's because they haven't been 
educated correctly, right. 

153
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,080
And so like you out there, 
people like I've been having on 

154
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,200
this podcast who are educating 
on not just the peptides, not 

155
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,640
just the regenerative medicine 
tools, but people, you know, 

156
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,960
educating on those foundations 
of physical. 

157
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440
But also, like you said, you 
know, spiritual, emotional, 

158
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,120
mental, I think is so important 
for women to feel and men, 

159
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,120
right, to feel like they have 
more power over their health 

160
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520
than they might have 
traditionally felt like they had

161
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,720
a decade ago, 2 decades ago. 
And that's something I kind of 

162
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,680
wanted to ask you about because 
you mentioned it in passing 

163
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,640
about your book. 
You are looking at some of these

164
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,200
other pillars of health. 
So let's start with spiritual 

165
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,360
because you mentioned that well.
I think it's, you know, that's 

166
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,360
different for everybody, but 
we've really just gotten away 

167
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,400
from, you know, believing in 
ourselves and believing in 

168
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880
taking care of each other, which
I just think is part of being 

169
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
spiritual. 
And we've gotten away from this,

170
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,560
you know, God is different to is
different for everybody. 

171
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,720
And I would never, you know, say
who's right or who's wrong, but 

172
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,120
it really just comes from within
and finding that really 

173
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,920
spiritual guide within yourself 
to be a good person and to give 

174
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,520
back to society and to do good 
things. 

175
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000
You know, I think it's very 
simple. 

176
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,560
It's like, do good, be kind, 
give back to others. 

177
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,360
And if we kind of live by those 
three things, you know, this 

178
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,480
world would be a much, much 
better place And there wouldn't 

179
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,320
be, you know, still the the evil
that's going on right now with, 

180
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,040
you know, everything in the 
headlines is, is really hard to 

181
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,600
digest because you almost can't 
like believe it. 

182
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,200
You're like, well, that, that 
cannot be true, but it is. 

183
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,560
And I think a lot of us are 
struggling with those notions of

184
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,240
that. 
There's like, there is some 

185
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,520
really bad things that are going
on and why does that happen? 

186
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,400
You know, where where do these 
people lose their spiritual 

187
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920
compass? 
Why are they doing bad things to

188
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
good people? 
And why does bad things happen 

189
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880
to good people? 
And it, it's just, it's very 

190
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,520
concerning. 
So like I said, you know, just 

191
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,960
being a good human and, you 
know, treating each other with 

192
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
respect and love can go a long 
way. 

193
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,160
And to me, that's really like 
the essence of what spirituality

194
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,480
is. 
And then finding, you know, 

195
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,440
whatever, you know, whatever God
means to you and how you express

196
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,080
that. 
But it it doesn't, it's not 

197
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,120
fearful and it's not something 
that needs to be condemned. 

198
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,040
But we do need to look at 
ourselves and look at ourselves 

199
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,520
as the planet of of what we're 
doing and why we're why we're, 

200
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,400
you know, why are these really 
horrible things happening across

201
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,240
the board? 
Yeah, I. 

202
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Appreciate you talking about it.
Yeah, go ahead. 

203
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,840
No, I just, I mean, I, I just, 
you know, it, it keeps me awake 

204
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
at night sometimes. 
Like it is this the world we're 

205
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,080
leading for our children? 
And you know, like what, Like 

206
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,240
how much worse could it get? 
Is, is really kind of where 

207
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,080
we're at. 
Like, I think we've reached like

208
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,960
a threshold of this is really 
bad and we're not taking care of

209
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,520
our planet. 
We're not taking care of each 

210
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120
other. 
And you know that that may not 

211
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160
last forever. 
Yeah, yeah, good point. 

212
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,320
Yeah, we do have a finite number
of resources for sure. 

213
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,560
And you know, you're bringing up
the next generation. 

214
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,880
Something to be mindful of I 
think is definitely very 

215
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,760
helpful. 
I love the concept of 

216
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,640
spirituality just in healing 
medicine. 

217
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Like personally, I believe that 
God is my higher power and I 

218
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,040
really do prioritize that 
spiritual relationship with 

219
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,440
them. 
And it's something, you know, I 

220
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,320
talk with my clients about to 
you, not like you said, not 

221
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,440
everyone has the same definition
of what, of what God is in their

222
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000
own life. 
But being able to realize that 

223
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,160
it's not just you like in this 
little planet, you know, I think

224
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920
that's really helpful for 
especially women in really 

225
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,840
working on their their mental 
game and their emotional game. 

226
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,360
And so one of the things I found
that that really started 

227
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,320
helping, you know, women in my 
practice is instead of when we 

228
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,200
open up a session, you know, we 
start talking about your 

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,560
Wellness and what's gone on the 
last week, instead of diving 

230
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,120
right into like, how are you? 
Because sometimes I can, you 

231
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,560
know, degenerate into it. 
Well, I'm still getting 

232
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,640
migraines and I haven't lost any
weight. 

233
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,400
And, you know, I'm really tired.
We start off with what are three

234
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,120
things you're thankful for? 
And that's something I try to do

235
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
in my own life too, and even 
with my children, to kind of 

236
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,280
start with that attitude of, of 
gratitude because like you said,

237
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520
the world is a mess, right? 
And sometimes our lives feel 

238
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,760
like they're a mess. 
But to have that, that bit of 

239
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,840
centeredness where you can kind 
of focus on, you know, what are 

240
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,120
three good things that happened 
today has been helpful for my 

241
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,160
kids, you know, historically and
my self and release kind of made

242
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,480
a difference with some of my 
client sessions. 

243
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
I like that you brought in that 
we're not just physical beings, 

244
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
right? 
It's a holistic picture for all 

245
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,600
of us. 
Absolutely. 

246
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,480
And then just your circle of 
influence too. 

247
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Sometimes it can be 
overwhelming, but just thinking 

248
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,960
about your circle of influence 
and, you know, how you can make 

249
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,720
an impact in that, you know, 
smaller environment and how, you

250
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,960
know, your family, your 
community, you know, where you 

251
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,760
live, like making, you know, 
really impactful changes there 

252
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,800
and can, you know, lead to 
bigger changes across the world.

253
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,600
Yeah. 
Yeah, I love that we think 

254
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,040
things are kind of insignificant
or were maybe insignificant just

255
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160
like another cog in the wheel. 
But truly being able to pay it 

256
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,920
forward, especially, especially 
when you start to feel better, 

257
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,600
right? 
Like when you feel like, OK, now

258
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,120
I have a little bit more energy 
and I a little bit more focused,

259
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,080
my brain fog is kind of 
dissipated. 

260
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,360
You know, I'm feeling a little 
bit better in my clothes now I 

261
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040
get to go back and, and give 
instead of just, you know, take.

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480
And I think that that's a big 
shift for a lot of women when 

263
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,320
they become healthier, whatever 
that looks like for them, you 

264
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
know, foundations, obviously, 
and then maybe adding in 

265
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,480
peptides or dialing in, you 
know, the right lab tests and 

266
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,480
getting on hormones and whatnot.
I do think that that's a big 

267
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,880
shift because women, you know, 
by nature, we're givers, we're, 

268
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,720
we're producers, we, we care and
we're empathetic. 

269
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,920
And so to strip away that power 
from women, you know, in midlife

270
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,360
when they're just not feeling 
their best, I think is, you 

271
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920
know, one of the reasons why so 
many women are, are, are feeling

272
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,240
emotionally and kind of mentally
imbalanced, you know, right in 

273
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,880
their 40s, fifties and whatnot, 
100%. 

274
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,120
Is that something you feel like 
you see too with your your 

275
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,640
clients and your I? 
See it all the time, like 

276
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,640
absolutely all the time. 
Like, you know, we just weren't 

277
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,960
supposed to live this long. 
You know, that's the other thing

278
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,800
that we're just starting to 
understand that, you know, we 

279
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,800
most, you know, long lifespan 
was 40-50 years old and now 

280
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
we're living these longer lives.
But it's like, what's our 

281
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,360
quality of life? 
And are we sedentary? 

282
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,840
Are we on multiple medications? 
Do we have chronic illness? 

283
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Are we, you know, clouding our 
brain with, you know, SSRIs and 

284
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,320
kind of like really try to get 
people off of them. 

285
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,840
And, you know, we're looking for
different ways to improve health

286
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560
because, like, we just didn't, 
we don't really know, you know, 

287
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,360
like, living to 100 is now very 
possible, but living to 100 in a

288
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,320
memory care center isn't where I
want to be. 

289
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,080
And, you know, if you don't want
to have that end game, then you 

290
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,280
got to start making changes. 
You know, really as soon as 

291
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,520
things start to feel off, that's
your signal to yourself to be 

292
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,160
like, all right, what's 
happening here? 

293
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,160
I, I need to get this looked at.
And it's not just getting on 

294
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,120
pills. 
It's, you know, really replacing

295
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,880
the things that are 
deteriorating. 

296
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,320
And, you know, the hormone 
replacement has a lot to do with

297
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280
that. 
And, you know, that's really why

298
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,240
a lot of women especially are, 
you know, have a higher rate of 

299
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,680
Alzheimer's and dementia and 
age-related cognitive decline is

300
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,560
because they didn't do hormone 
replacement. 

301
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,880
And I can't say this like enough
to people. 

302
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,720
Like that's what's going to 
protect your brain, your bones 

303
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,800
and your heart, and that's going
to give you longevity and that's

304
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520
going to make you feel good. 
You know, your body stops making

305
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,200
these hormones after a certain 
time called, you know, menopause

306
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360
and most women didn't make it 
this long. 

307
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,240
And now we are. 
And you, if you want to have 

308
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,160
that vitality and be able to be 
with your children and your 

309
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,120
grandchildren and have that 
spark, it's just it's a non 

310
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,200
negotiable. 
And so many women were scared 

311
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,040
into not doing it. 
And look where we're at. 

312
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,120
You know, there's a memory care 
center literally on every corner

313
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,640
in every town and they keep 
popping up all over the place. 

314
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,520
And that's just not like that's 
not what I want for my golden 

315
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,920
years. 
And, you know, you can live a 

316
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,800
very full life and be very 
active if you start doing the 

317
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,480
right things. 
You know when when you start 

318
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,359
noticing changes. 
Hormone replacement therapy is a

319
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,240
very good discussion to have 
because as you were alluding to,

320
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,760
the Women's Health Initiative 
just did, just did the 

321
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,400
generation before us. 
Such a disservice to service. 

322
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,080
Terrified of estrogen. 
Yeah, true. 

323
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,680
I mean, it really is like when 
you go into the research and 

324
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,640
look at how they doctorate the 
study and look at how they 

325
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,880
doctorate the outcomes and the 
fact that, you know, for what, 

326
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,160
20-30 years now, the black box 
warning has been on estradiol 

327
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,040
and women have been terrified 
they're going to get cancer. 

328
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,280
And that's not to say that, you 
know, there aren't risks 

329
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,440
associated with any sort of, you
know, like intervention at some 

330
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,800
point. 
But we've seen overwhelmingly 

331
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,360
that estradiol, especially, you 
know, in the presence of 

332
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,800
progesterone, is very safe for 
women and very effective for 

333
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,640
women. 
And such as, you know, the black

334
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,400
box warning has been removed, 
which is incredible. 

335
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,640
You know, women hopefully are a 
little bit more empowered to go 

336
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,720
out and ask their doctors, like,
can we get the right labs? 

337
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,360
You know, can I get on hormone 
replacement therapy? 

338
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,080
These are my symptoms. 
Do you even know what menopause 

339
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,400
is, doctor? 
Yeah. 

340
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:25,920
I mean it, I just shake my head 
and and there's still like so 

341
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,400
much resistance. 
And a lot of women are, oh, I 

342
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,320
don't, I don't need to do that. 
I'm like, all right, well, these

343
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,720
are the things that are gonna 
start to happen if you don't. 

344
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,720
And being able to educate women 
on the benefits of it, you know,

345
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,560
has been kind of a, a steeper 
climb. 

346
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,440
There's lots of women that are 
very educated about it and do 

347
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,800
the right things. 
But this, you know, the mindset 

348
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,520
we've had for so long has just 
been ingrained in providers and 

349
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,400
in women. 
And now, you know, it's just sad

350
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,920
to see someone in their 60s 
start to lose it mentally. 

351
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,520
And when that starts to happen, 
it's, it's hard to reverse it. 

352
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,680
So if you're listening to us 
today and you're in 

353
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,080
perimenopause, don't listen, 
Don't take no for an answer. 

354
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,800
Like just because you're still 
being in your period, there's 

355
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,680
still things that we can do to 
really optimize and make you 

356
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,840
just feel much more like 
yourself. 

357
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,160
And it's been a game changer for
myself. 

358
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520
It's been a huge game changer 
for so many of my clients. 

359
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,440
And it's just, it's just the 
writing's on the wall and you 

360
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,320
just, you got to do something 
about it. 

361
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,240
So Angela, if we've got a woman,
you know, 35 to 45, and she goes

362
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,040
to her doctor and asks for lab 
testing because she's not 

363
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,320
feeling like herself, and her 
doctor says, you know, no, 

364
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,600
you're fine. 
It's just normal. 

365
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,200
You're just aging. 
What would some of the symptoms 

366
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,120
be that she might be looking for
as a sign that, yeah, she is 

367
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,840
definitely in perimenopause and 
inching toward menopause? 

368
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,880
I think the biggest things are 
the loss of libido and fatigue, 

369
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,360
weight gain and you know, that 
brain fog where you're not able 

370
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:13,320
to recall things as fast as you 
used to be able to. 

371
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,320
I mean, some of that's just 
life. 

372
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,560
But you know, when you start 
like, oh, shoot, what's that 

373
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,520
word? 
And what's their name again? 

374
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,040
Like those things happen and 
those are kind of your first 

375
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,760
signs. 
Women do start getting hot 

376
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,880
flashes pretty early. 
Those are, that's another big 

377
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,640
sign. 
But really the big ones are 

378
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,040
fatigue and lots of libido and 
weight gain. 

379
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,800
And a lot of providers will look
at your lab work and be like, 

380
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,560
you're fine, everything is fine.
But we overlook the importance 

381
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,680
of testosterone in women. 
And that can be a game changer 

382
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,760
for a, for a lot. 
And that could be a very, very 

383
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,040
simple tweak. 
And most providers beating women

384
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,520
will not optimize that level 
because it's fine. 

385
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,440
But what that's not fine. 
You know, you want to be, you 

386
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,080
want to be, you want to be 
vital, you want to have all 

387
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,800
those things back. 
And, you know, testosterone can 

388
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,360
really, you know, give you back 
your kind of pep and your sex 

389
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,120
drive and help with muscle 
building. 

390
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,600
And most of the times it just 
gets overlooked. 

391
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,000
Yeah, absolutely does. 
And it's not a, it's not a 

392
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,160
hormone that most physicians are
testing. 

393
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,160
When women go in complaining, 
you know, of, of, of fatigue, 

394
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,120
especially like you said, I 
think that, you know, I get a 

395
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,360
lot of women who will tell me, 
well, my doctor says I'm low in 

396
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:40,760
iron. 
And like, well, probably you are

397
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,760
#1 because you're not eating 
enough meat, you're probably not

398
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,600
eating enough vitamin C because 
you skipped fruit. 

399
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,160
And so your iron isn't being 
stored. 

400
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,200
But also your testosterone 
levels can be very, very low. 

401
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,520
You know, in, in perimenopause 
especially, you know, if you are

402
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,880
stressed out all the time, if 
your cortisol levels are wonky, 

403
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,600
that is going to affect some of 
the downstream hormones like 

404
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
testosterone. 
And it just doesn't get tested. 

405
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,120
So if a woman's listening to 
this and she's like, I need to 

406
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,840
go ask my doctor what labs I can
run in order to see like, am I 

407
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,680
deficient any of these hormones?
What would your top five labs be

408
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,960
that you would advise that woman
to go ask for her doctor from? 

409
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,720
But definitely your thyroid, 
your testosterone level at your 

410
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,600
free and your total. 
Let's see. 

411
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,320
So it's two, your LH, which is 
your luteinizing hormone and 

412
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,360
then your FSH, I think is really
important and then the estradiol

413
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:35,920
level 2. 
But if you're still ovulating 

414
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,080
and still having a period, 
that's typically OK. 

415
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,240
I don't usually recommend, you 
know, adding an estrogen until, 

416
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,920
you know, menses have ceased, 
which is menopause. 

417
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,080
But some people are, you know, 
do need a little bit of it. 

418
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,920
It just really depends. 
But looking at and most if I get

419
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,480
a referral from another or a 
client comes in that's new, 

420
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,840
that's been, you know, within 
their primary care, their OBGYN 

421
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,440
for years, they've never had it 
looked at. 

422
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560
And you know, they're kind of 
shocked when I'm like, oh, let's

423
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,200
look at your testosterone. 
And they're like, let's nobody's

424
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,320
ever asked to do that before. 
I'm like, Oh yeah, well, we need

425
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,120
to opt. 
And then hormone, the thyroid 

426
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,640
hormone too is very important. 
You know, you can be 

427
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,040
subclinically low and really 
need just like a little thyroid 

428
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,240
support. 
Are you testing progesterone for

429
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,440
a woman too? 
Is that one of the? 

430
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,360
Yeah, for sure. 
Yeah, it wouldn't be. 

431
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,240
I mean, I just usually add it in
because it's a balancer, you 

432
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,760
know, it balances everything out
and it's kind of the calming 

433
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200
hormone. 
So I don't necessarily sometimes

434
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,320
need to see that, but, you know,
but if you just my top five, you

435
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,640
know, that's what it would be. 
But yeah, I always look at 

436
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,800
progesterone and then I usually 
just add it in, you know, for 

437
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800
most people. 
And they love it, you know, 

438
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,320
helps them sleep. 
It chills them out a little bit 

439
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,400
and it really regulates a lot of
things. 

440
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,080
Yes, I'm a big fan of 
progesterone in my own life. 

441
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,640
And I've seen it work so well 
for so many women who are 

442
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,600
coming, you know, with anxiety 
and insomnia and panic attacks 

443
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
even. 
And no one's ever tested their 

444
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520
progesterone. 
They don't realize that they're,

445
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,040
you know, almost completely 
deficient. 

446
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,760
They've been on birth control 
for 20 years. 

447
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,200
They're not. 
They're not making progesterone.

448
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,400
Don't even get me started on 
that. 10 start it for me Angela,

449
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,360
tell me all about it. 
I, I just, I mean the lies we 

450
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:32,480
have been told and the trusting 
the experts on birth control. 

451
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,000
I, I think it's a health crisis,
to be honest, because it's 

452
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,040
leading to the fertility crisis.
And, you know, a lot of these 

453
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,400
things were just thought to be 
very innocuous. 

454
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,600
You do you. 
A 15 year old started having 

455
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,240
their, you know, has had their 
period for three years and it's 

456
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,080
inconvenient. 
You know, they don't like it and

457
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,360
they go to, you know, they're a 
provider and they get put on, 

458
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,880
you know, for oral birth control
pill without even blinking an 

459
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,320
eye. 
And then they're locked into 

460
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,720
birth control for probably in 
the next 15 years of their life.

461
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,360
And you know, I, I talk a lot 
about this in my book because 

462
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,280
you can see the cycle. 
You can see where this is 

463
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,240
leading. 
And I just posted something on 

464
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,480
Instagram about this too. 
Like, you know, you're on birth 

465
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,040
control, which puts you into 
like a menopausal state. 

466
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,800
And, you know, it, it creates 
this mismatch, I think, with 

467
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,840
relationships because you lose 
your sex drive, you start to get

468
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,720
depressed and, you know, your 
partner who's young and, you 

469
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,760
know, ready to roll, you're not 
meeting each other at the same 

470
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,440
point in life. 
And that causes a lot of 

471
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,760
tension. 
It causes a lot of problems and 

472
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,240
relationships. 
And there's just like, there's 

473
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,800
better ways to prevent a 
pregnancy. 

474
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,840
And we just have to educate 
women that like, you know, being

475
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,600
a woman is really special and 
being able to grow a human is 

476
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,680
one of the greatest gifts ever. 
And when you're compromising 

477
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,680
that, I think you're doing 
yourself a disservice because if

478
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,760
you look at the infertility 
rates that are rising, everybody

479
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,800
you know is known somebody that 
has struggled with infertility 

480
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,480
and that didn't used to be the 
case. 

481
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,800
And then, you know, then the 
depression comes in because 

482
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,120
you're not getting the hormones 
that your body needs. 

483
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,400
There's a hormone receptor on 
every cell of your body. 

484
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,280
And when those are completely 
taken away and replaced with 

485
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,200
synthetic, like, what are we 
doing? 

486
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,880
I just think that we're women 
are looking for quick fixes, You

487
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,480
know, they don't want to get 
pregnant before they're ready. 

488
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,800
And I can understand that. 
But you also just have to 

489
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,200
educate yourself on, well, how 
do I, how do I do this a 

490
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,840
different way? 
Or how can I respect myself 

491
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,040
enough to like be able to say 
no? 

492
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,240
And I, I mean, my personal 
thought, and this might be kind 

493
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,920
of controversial, but I really 
think birth control exists for 

494
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,560
unlimited male pleasure. 
And, you know, having, you know,

495
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,680
getting rid of like the 
pregnancy risk, you're kind of 

496
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,840
losing that self respect and 
being able to say like, hey, now

497
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,000
it's not the right, I got my 48 
hour window here. 

498
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,240
You're just going to have to 
chill. 

499
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,440
And like, like, why is that a 
bad thing? 

500
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,160
Like I just like, let's get back
to like, I mean, you can 

501
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,800
regulate your cycle, you know, 
when you're ovulating that 

502
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,200
that's not that big of a deal. 
Condoms actually work, you know,

503
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,840
like, why is it just let's go 
get on the birth control pills. 

504
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,800
So my acne, which is really 
coming from, you know, your food

505
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,120
sources and your inflammation. 
It's not, you know, necessarily 

506
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:52,880
your hormones, but it it's just,
it's just been this quick fix 

507
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,840
and the downstream effects on 
what's going to happen later in 

508
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,960
life are, you know, we could 
just see that cycle. 

509
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,560
It's birth control pill, you 
know, SSRIs, Adderall, all those

510
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,200
things and that that's not good.
And it's just, it is not good 

511
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,760
for Women's Health. 
And then when you're suppressing

512
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,280
your own natural production for 
so long, your body doesn't 

513
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,360
really know what to do when it 
gets off of it. 

514
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,520
And there will people that will 
argue this sooth and nail but I 

515
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,040
I just I don't see how putting 
synthetic hormones in your body 

516
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,800
to suppress ovulation for 15 
plus years can be anything but 

517
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,400
detrimental. 
So agreed, you guys can't see my

518
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,080
face, but I am just smiling and 
nodding with everything. 

519
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,800
Doctor Angela sailing saying I I
do see it right now we're having

520
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,240
a peptides for women female 
health empowerment conference 

521
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,840
and Doctor Angela is going to 
headline it. 

522
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,840
This is great. 
Stuff I would love it. 

523
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:49,880
I would love it. 
Oh. 

524
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,440
Good. 
There's that small little study 

525
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,400
2013 that showed when women 
started the pill, their 

526
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,760
preference for more masculine 
faces decreased. 

527
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,840
And so we have seen that, you 
know, when it really is taking 

528
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,640
away all aspects of our 
fertility. 

529
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Not only are we unable to 
ovulate, which of course is 

530
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,360
going to suppress our production
and and like you said, lead to 

531
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,440
infertility in our later years, 
You can't just turn back on the 

532
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,080
switch of, you know, wanting to 
get pregnant. 

533
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,760
There's so much that goes into 
healthy fertility, you know, for

534
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,880
women. 
And, you know, I've seen the 

535
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,920
pill in my own life personally. 
And one of the reasons why I 

536
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,200
counsel my daughter and my 
daughter's friends, like stay 

537
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,560
far away from the pill. 
Go off of dairy, go off of 

538
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,360
gluten, make sure you're 
drinking enough water, get your 

539
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,120
minerals, get a food sensitivity
test if needed. 

540
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,880
And you're only fertile for 48 
hours. 

541
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,840
If you're really careful for, 
you know, two to three days on 

542
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,800
either side of that window, then
you're probably going to be OK. 

543
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,880
You know, with pregnancy you 
don't eat ice cream every day. 

544
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,160
Right, right, right, Like it's 
not that hard to figure out gals

545
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,200
like you're doing. 
It's just become this. 

546
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,360
It is. 
It was like, it's like trendy, 

547
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,440
you know? 
Like, I know when I was like, in

548
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,560
high school and going into 
college, you know, it was like 

549
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,040
trendy to be on your ortho 
tricycling. 

550
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,560
Oh, yeah. 
And everybody was like, oh, I 

551
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,200
got to take my pill. 
Like it was just this thing. 

552
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,320
I was like, I don't know about 
you guys, but I feel like 

553
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360
absolute shit. 
And I feel like I'm losing my 

554
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,680
mind. 
Like I could not handle it at 

555
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480
all. 
And I just didn't do it. 

556
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,280
I was like, this is terrible. 
And then I had a terrible 

557
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,920
experience with Iuds. 
I gained a ton of weight. 

558
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,000
I felt like I, my mind was just 
not myself. 

559
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,240
And I know a lot of people say 
it's fine, actually have a lot 

560
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400
of friends my age now that still
have Iuds. 

561
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,640
They're like, oh, I'm getting my
hormone replacement through my 

562
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,360
IUD. 
I'm like, okay, that's great. 

563
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,680
Alright, come to me. 
Like when you're ready to talk, 

564
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,680
you know, I'm like, that's fake.
Those are fake hormones and you 

565
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,440
know, it's just like, where are 
people getting this information?

566
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Well, a lot of it's their 
providers and I'm sorry, but 

567
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,800
most my colleagues don't know 
what they're doing anymore and 

568
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,000
it this is just not, it's just 
it, it's not the solution that 

569
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,720
we made for pregnancy. 
And you know, I don't want to 

570
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,480
say that like I'm not trying to 
be like AI don't even know how 

571
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,080
to say this right, but like, you
know, so conservative, but like,

572
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,040
respect yourself. 
Like, you know, a one night 

573
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,480
stand isn't going to do anything
for you. 

574
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,040
It's just going to make you feel
like crap, you know, cuz this 

575
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,640
guy's not going to call you 
back. 

576
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,920
Like stop using sex as a way to 
rope in men cuz it doesn't 

577
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,640
usually work, you know? 
But if you can be in, you know, 

578
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,440
more vibrant and have good 
communication skills and be 

579
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,040
funny and someone fun to hang 
out with, that's more important,

580
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640
you know, the, the intimacy can 
come later. 

581
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,360
And there's also, like news 
flash, a lot of things you can 

582
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,840
do for intimacy that don't 
require penetration. 

583
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,840
And even a man. 
Right self intimacy measures, 

584
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,600
right there's that too. 
There's plenty of that, but 

585
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800
like, you know, it's, we've 
really, I mean, I, I think like 

586
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,280
the sexual divide is, is really 
sad because I, I see this in my 

587
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,160
practice a lot is the people 
just have really stopped having 

588
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,720
like satisfying sexual 
relationships. 

589
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,040
And women don't even, especially
when they're birth control, 

590
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,880
there's really, very, very 
little ways to actually have a 

591
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,440
true orgasmic experience, if I'm
being honest. 

592
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,080
And then you couple in the SSRI 
and the SSNR is with that and 

593
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,760
like, forget it. 
Like they don't even know what 

594
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,560
it really feels like, you know, 
especially for a woman. 

595
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,880
And that's, I think where our 
relationships just start to tank

596
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,040
because if you don't have that, 
you know, really natural 

597
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,640
connection, I, I think that's a 
huge problem. 

598
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,840
Well, and women start to get 
resentful and they start to get 

599
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,720
100%. 
They think, you know, every 

600
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,480
single time we have sex, my man 
gets to have an orgasm, never 

601
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,360
have an orgasm. 
It just becomes a chore. 

602
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,360
It's not anything that's 
mutually beneficial, you know, 

603
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,320
for a happy couple. 
And I, I definitely see that all

604
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,400
the time too. 
You know, with women, it might, 

605
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,440
might practice. 
The demographic is, you know, 

606
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,040
age 35 to 50. 
And more often than not, it kind

607
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,520
of boggles my mind how often 
women will tell me I've never 

608
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,080
had a libido. 
Like I just, I never want to 

609
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,640
have sex. 
I'm like, what in the world? 

610
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,320
I mean, mine, granted, is low, 
but I'm also recovering from, 

611
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,480
you know, 20 years of being on 
the pill, you know, a 20 year 

612
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,240
eating disorder, you know, all 
of these like over exercising, 

613
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,000
overstressing, being an 
overachiever. 

614
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,920
I think all of that has 
conspired for so many women to 

615
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
completely lose their libido 
because they've almost lost 

616
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,280
their zest for life. 
They go through the motions. 

617
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,840
They'll go to the gym, they'll, 
you know, drink their coffee, 

618
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,320
they'll eat a semi healthy meal.
They'll go to work, they'll take

619
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,400
care of their kids. 
But there's no joy in it 

620
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,160
anymore. 
And, you know, it's so important

621
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,480
for us to experience joy, 
especially as women, because, 

622
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,760
you know, I, I, I just see that 
if that's not part of your life,

623
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,120
that's when you know, women are,
are searching for other options 

624
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,720
like, you know, SSRIs, 
obviously, or like diet after 

625
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,600
diet after diet or workout after
workout after workout or 

626
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,320
spiritual practice after 
spiritual practice, like being 

627
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,600
able to feel good enough to 
cultivate joyful, you know, 

628
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,520
things joyful practices in your 
own life can be really life 

629
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,800
transporting for women after 
they've, you know, had their 

630
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,120
kids grow up a little bit, 
right? 

631
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,880
They don't, they're not as 
needed as much in the trenches. 

632
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,719
Maybe they're kind of coasting a
little bit more at work or 

633
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,480
they've risen to the top of 
their profession. 

634
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,239
They're enjoying their 
professional success. 

635
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,960
Like now is the time for women 
to feel like they get to have a 

636
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,840
joyful life and it's just being 
sucked away from them by, you 

637
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,480
know, medications and a shitty 
lifestyle. 

638
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,639
It makes me so sad. 
Yeah, well, and they're the 

639
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:48,320
research coming out with SSRI's 
is it can cause per minute 

640
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,120
sexual dysfunction even after 
you stop. 

641
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,760
And so that that should be the 
black box warning on those 

642
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,640
medications because that it's 
like that's going to kill your 

643
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,800
relationship. 
You know, even, you know, when 

644
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,680
you do stop, it doesn't 
necessarily bounce back. 

645
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,200
And I just, I think that's just 
a really sad thing to have 

646
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640
happened to somebody. 
Yeah, women are supposed to be 

647
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,880
sexual beings. 
It's like your birthright to get

648
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,080
to feel like you are a sexual 
being, you know? 

649
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,760
And women just do not have that 
anymore. 

650
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,200
And it does make me sad. 
And I do. 

651
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,320
I mean, it is the peptides for 
Women podcast. 

652
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,160
I feel like I should I should 
transition us to peptides at one

653
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:28,360
at one point. 
Let's say with peptides too for 

654
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,640
sure. 
Well, and that's what I was 

655
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,600
going to say. 
There's two areas of peptides I 

656
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,160
want to look at very closely 
with you because there are two 

657
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,320
things that women really need to
hear about. 

658
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,680
Since we're on the topic of 
sexual dysfunction right now, 

659
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,720
let's go ahead and talk about 
some of the peptides for libido 

660
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,160
and connection. 
But then I really want to focus 

661
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,400
in on some of those libidos for 
or some of those peptides for 

662
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,280
brain function, right? 
Maybe preventing things like 

663
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,720
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and 
neurodegeneration. 

664
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:58,800
So let's go ahead and start with
how you know Once foundations 

665
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,240
are in place for women, where 
can they start exploring 

666
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,560
peptides for libido? 
Oh, there's a couple of them. 

667
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,080
One of them that I'm researching
right now is kisspeptin and that

668
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,760
peptide will help to increase 
your LH and FSH function, which 

669
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,000
is really important because 
that's going to help stimulate 

670
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,560
your own natural production of 
hormones. 

671
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,880
So this might be more, this 
might be like another way to 

672
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,240
circumvent hormone replacement. 
We just don't really know. 

673
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,520
I'm, I like to experiment on 
myself to kind of see how things

674
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,640
work and I it's been pretty 
cool. 

675
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,200
It's a really cool peptide. 
So I'm super interested in that 

676
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,680
one. 
It's not very expensive and it I

677
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,760
think has like some real 
promising attributes to it. 

678
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:50,160
The one for libido that works 
great is the PT141 and yeah, 

679
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,760
it's a, and it's for men and 
women alike. 

680
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,920
I think it's awesome. 
It can take it every day. 

681
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,440
It just helps increase desire. 
It increases blood flow. 

682
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,200
And, you know, those are things 
that are really important, you 

683
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,120
know, obviously for sexual 
function. 

684
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,280
And then, I mean, I, this isn't 
one that's actually for sexual, 

685
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,600
but I think when you feel better
about yourself and you're at, 

686
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,360
you know, an ideal weight, 
you're much more like at you 

687
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,800
want to engage, you know, if you
are embarrassed with how you 

688
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,680
look or you know, you have some 
self-confidence issues, like 

689
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,880
losing some weight can really 
help with that. 

690
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,760
And that's why I, I mean, 
trzipatide for me and for what I

691
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,000
recommend to clients is the Holy
Grail because that just starts 

692
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,840
everything off. 
You look, you have, you know, 

693
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,040
you look better, you have a ton 
of confidence. 

694
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,400
And I mean, we had talked about 
a lot more of the benefits of 

695
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,880
trzipatide as we go, but that's 
kind of the foundational one 

696
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:57,000
that I really like to recommend.
And then, you know, oxytocin, 

697
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,800
it's not a peptide, but that can
be really helpful for bonding, 

698
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,600
especially between men and 
women, because that really is 

699
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,080
the the love hormone. 
And what we're finding is that 

700
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,080
if you don't have a good gut 
system, if your gut is not 

701
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,240
working well, that that's where 
oxytocin is produced. 

702
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,480
And when that is compromised, 
you're not getting that release 

703
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,640
of oxytocin. 
So that's, you know, really 

704
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,760
important to consider to make 
sure your gut lining and your 

705
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,200
microbiome are really well 
functioning. 

706
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,680
That's a great point to bring up
for people, that that is where 

707
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:38,680
you know your your oxytocin is 
produced and there's so many 

708
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,880
things that lead to poor gut 
function in women. 

709
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,160
You can almost operate on the 
assumption that most people 

710
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,640
aren't, especially women aren't 
making appropriate levels of 

711
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,920
oxytocin. 
And so, you know, they're, 

712
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,320
they're so it's like multi 
factorial why relationships are 

713
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,760
kind of breaking down. 
But adding some of that back in 

714
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,240
can be so, so helpful. 
I love that you brought up 

715
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:02,640
PT1412 because you said, yeah, 
it works on, you know, brain 

716
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,720
function to help increase 
feelings of desire and arousal. 

717
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:09,240
So helpful for women. 
Then it also increases blood 

718
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:12,440
flow, you know, obviously 
helpful for men, but also women,

719
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,680
right? 
Yeah, same principle. 

720
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,240
Yeah, without, without some of 
the negative side effects of 

721
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:18,560
something like Cialis. 
Right. 

722
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,320
So are you using it for both men
and women in your practice? 

723
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,720
Yep, Yep. 
I actually work with a company 

724
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:28,320
here in Utah and I'd love to 
share this source with you 

725
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,920
because they're really amazing. 
But I brought, I have some 

726
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,200
examples right here, but they're
oral dissolving strips. 

727
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:41,760
That and PT141 is one of the 
ones that we offer and it also 

728
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,160
has a little bit of tadalafil in
it, which is Cialis, but that 

729
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,720
that's more for like the nitric 
oxide production, which is, you 

730
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,240
know, another thing we can talk 
about that's really important. 

731
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,720
But these, these peptides are 
amazing and really accessible. 

732
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,160
No needles, no guessing on 
dosing. 

733
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,640
And I've been recommending these
to most of my clients and it's 

734
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,800
like the efficacy is fantastic. 
And as things get a little 

735
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,000
complicated in the FDA space 
with peptides, these are the 

736
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
ones that are going to be, you 
know, more widely. 

737
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,240
Available because they're 
technically a dietary 

738
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:21,680
supplement, but I the PT141 
strip I can't keep it in stock. 

739
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,920
It's amazing. 
I've actually used a dissolvable

740
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,400
oral for the strip for PT141. 
I've used a nasal and then I've 

741
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,120
used the injection and I would 
say for ease of use and and you 

742
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,640
know, really the way that it 
worked, I did like the oral 

743
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,640
dissolvable. 
I like the injection too, but 

744
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,760
it's really easy to take too 
much and a lot of my clients 

745
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,440
will feel really nauseous on the
PT131 injection which I don't 

746
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,600
get from the strep. 
Yeah, because it's really a 

747
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,360
derivative of Mt 2, the 
melatonin, which causes tanning,

748
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,560
which is fabulous as well. 
But that can definitely have 

749
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,440
some nausea related to it. 
Yeah, and the melatonin, he 

750
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,520
said. 
My husband has been taking that 

751
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,240
just for fun. 
You know, he loves his peptides,

752
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:07,560
too. 
And we know one of the side 

753
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,360
effects is increased libido. 
So I looked at him this weekend 

754
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,280
after like the third proposition
in like 12 hours is like, what 

755
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,840
is going on? 
He's like, oh, I think it's my 

756
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,360
Melania Tan. 
It's like, oh. 

757
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,480
My gosh. 
Back off. 

758
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,640
Back off. 
That stuff, though, come. 

759
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,600
On yeah, yeah, it's 
revolutionary. 

760
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,920
I mean, it, it helps a lot of 
things and some people, you 

761
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,800
know, get really bad side 
effects from Viagra and high 

762
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,480
doses of Cialis. 
And this is a good way to, you 

763
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,440
know, have an alternative. 
Yeah, yeah, there's no like 24 

764
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,120
hour erections from PT141, at 
least not that I've seen in the 

765
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,360
literature or in real life, no. 
But you know, the, the thing 

766
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,480
that's, you know, the other 
caveats, that is your nitric 

767
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,240
oxide like that is super 
important. 

768
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,960
And I think it's been, it's not 
widely known how important 

769
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,040
nitric oxide is, but that's what
helps your circulation. 

770
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,720
And that's why, you know, 
tadalafil and Viagra work so 

771
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:06,320
well is because they prevent the
breakdown of nitric oxide. 

772
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,040
And so that promotes better 
blood flow. 

773
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,320
And it, those are actually a 
really, I don't love the type of

774
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,600
pharmaceuticals, but I can get 
behind those because of the 

775
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,560
mechanism of action. 
But one thing you easy, one 

776
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,760
thing you can do to improve your
nitric oxide is to get fluoride 

777
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,960
out of everything. 
So stop using fluoride in your 

778
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,040
toothpaste because the nitric 
oxide is really first produced 

779
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,880
in your oral microbiome and you 
get the downstream effects from 

780
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,000
that, but fluoride completely 
kills it. 

781
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,680
So as much as you can get 
fluoride out of your toothpaste 

782
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,920
and water, that's a really 
beneficial thing. 

783
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,960
I've not heard that before, but 
I did hear you talking about the

784
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,440
importance of running, you know,
the right thyroid labs. 

785
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,120
And we know, you know, that 
fluoride is going to displace 

786
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,240
those lighter halogens like 
iodine, which is so important 

787
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:55,400
for thyroid health. 
And so I am a huge proponent of 

788
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,840
not having fluoride as much as 
possible, you know, in our house

789
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,880
and in our our toothpaste. 
I love a tooth powder, a nice 

790
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,640
mineralized tooth powder. 
What do you use for toothpaste? 

791
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,640
I have do you have MI paste? 
You use that? 

792
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:12,920
OK, that is fantastic. 
So that re mineralizes your 

793
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,600
teeth. 
It'll put dentists out of 

794
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,000
business to be honest, but it 
helps whiten them and it re 

795
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,920
mineralizes your it makes your 
teeth stronger. 

796
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,080
You can get it off of like a 
dental supply company. 

797
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,320
And then I my favorite fluoride 
free toothpaste is Burt's Bees. 

798
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,960
I think that one tastes the best
and I just, I just like it. 

799
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,920
But widely available. 
Yeah. 

800
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,600
Just anything just get off 
fluoride. 

801
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,800
Like if that is the one take 
away from today besides other 

802
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,320
tidbits like get rid of your 
toothpaste, Yeah. 

803
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,280
Love it, love it, love it. 
OK, let's, let's finish up here 

804
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,040
with some brain health hacks, 
especially peptides, because we 

805
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,480
know women are terrified that 
they are going to lose use brain

806
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,320
function. 
Like you said, there is, there's

807
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,960
a memory care facility on almost
every corner and it is 

808
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,120
terrifying. 
I can't think of everything that

809
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,320
terrifies me more, you know? 
So what can women do you know 

810
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,640
from a peptide perspective to 
protect their brain health now 

811
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,560
and ensure better brain health 
in the future? 

812
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,000
I mean, this one, and there's a 
couple options and really the 

813
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,600
basic one I'm just going to go 
back to is tirzepatide. 

814
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,400
Keeping your blood sugar and 
regulation and being in 

815
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,040
metabolic regulation is going to
help your brain health because 

816
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,440
there is so much evidence that 
having high blood sugar levels 

817
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,040
really deteriorates your brain 
and you need to, you know, make 

818
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,080
sure that you're in good 
metabolic balance to protect 

819
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,120
yourself. 
You know, especially for brain 

820
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,840
health. 
I think Salank and C Max have 

821
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,960
really a lot of promising 
attributes to them, especially 

822
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,000
for mental health. 
And then for cognition, I think 

823
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,400
those are great. 
But really just getting, you 

824
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,720
know, tirzepatide has so many 
benefits to it. 

825
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,800
And you know that metabolic 
regulation, I think is really 

826
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,760
important. 
And if this is mini peptide and 

827
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,960
I'm degressing and I apologize, 
but cholesterol also, we need 

828
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,680
cholesterol for brain health. 
And so if you're keeping your 

829
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,760
blood sugar low, that means your
inflammation is going to be low.

830
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,080
And that's, that means that your
vessels are, are not, as you 

831
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,960
know, they're not rigid. 
And when you have a lot of 

832
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,080
inflammation and you have rigid 
vasculature, that's where 

833
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,560
cholesterol gets trapped. 
That's where you get the, you 

834
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,240
know, the heart attacks, the 
strokes. 

835
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,120
But if that molecule can flow 
freely through your vasculature,

836
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,360
you're fine. 
And we need that fat for our, 

837
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,240
for our brain health. 
So that's just, I just default 

838
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:42,280
to tirzepatide, honestly, I 
think that is so important. 

839
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,880
And then estrogen too, you know,
there's just that that's just is

840
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,080
non negotiable. 
And probably a call for women, 

841
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,480
especially in midlife, to be 
wary of going on a statin. 

842
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,440
I used to sell a statin for 
Abbott Labs. 

843
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,440
Now I feel terrible I did that 
because we know the body's going

844
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,080
to make cholesterol no matter 
what. 

845
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,120
And like you said, cholesterol 
is the building block not only 

846
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,400
of our brain, but also of our 
hormones, including things like 

847
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,480
cortisol. 
So, you know, breaking down the 

848
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,800
the building blocks of our 
hormones and our brain is such a

849
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,920
detriment for women. 
So just be careful when your 

850
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,280
doctor tells you you need to go 
on a statin, maybe just do a 

851
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,640
little. 
Bit do it, don't do it. 

852
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,320
I mean, it's just handed out 
like candy and most men over 40 

853
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,040
are on it. 
Then they get on a blood 

854
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:32,200
pressure medication and it's 
like, like, okay, that's gonna 

855
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,200
work out well for you. 
But metabolic health, you know, 

856
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,360
it's just, is really the 
cornerstone. 

857
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,960
And I just like trzipatide and 
semaglutide works too. 

858
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,920
I mean, I, I, I default to 
trzipatide because the side 

859
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,880
effects are less and really the 
profile of it is much better. 

860
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,160
But that's where the secret 
sauce is. 

861
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,840
And once you get that metabolic 
regulation in, and it's not 

862
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,360
always about just losing weight.
It's not like being on Ozempic. 

863
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:03,600
It this is a crucial peptide 
that our body makes that we need

864
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,880
more of and you know, micro 
dosing tirzepatide at a really 

865
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,720
responsible level is going to 
give you so many health benefits

866
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,120
beyond just losing weight. 
Beautifully said. 

867
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,560
I mean, brain benefits for sure.
We know Alzheimer's is referred 

868
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,760
to as type 3 diabetes. 
We know there's a huge insulin 

869
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,120
and glucose component to a brain
that's going awry. 

870
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,640
You know, sooner rather than 
later. 

871
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,440
It allows, you know, like 
sugars, you know, with the Tau 

872
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,640
proteins and, and just the 
neurodegeneration that happens 

873
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,680
can be prevented by having, you 
know, steady glucose, steady 

874
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,920
insulin and taking care of your 
body metabolically. 

875
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,840
And so I mean, tersapatite, they
shouldn't put fluoride in the 

876
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,240
water. 
They should put tersapatite in 

877
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:48,400
the water. 
You're going to get comments for

878
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,000
that one. 
Probably. 

879
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,840
Right, but I just, I'm going to 
add, you know, I, I think it's 

880
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,560
the Holy Grail of peptides and 
you know, it's gotten my clients

881
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,240
off of their Lexapro. 
You know, I can get them off 

882
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,240
their statin, I can get them off
their blood pressure medication 

883
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:11,520
and their numbers are fantastic.
And really like it's, I mean, my

884
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,720
own mom was showing some really 
significant cognitive decline 

885
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,480
and was overweight and I've 
really helped her lose over 80 

886
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,840
lbs and she's much, she's much 
more alert. 

887
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,680
She's her recall is better, her 
zest for life is better. 

888
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,760
And you know, she's, she just 
feels like a completely new 

889
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,440
person and has she just feels 
more like herself because her 

890
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,560
mental clarity is better. 
And I and this other thing, you 

891
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,000
know, the other thing that 
happens with Tricipatite is that

892
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,040
kind of veil of that fog and 
just that brain, you know, sugar

893
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,640
overload because if, if you're, 
if you're overweight, you're in 

894
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,560
insulin resistance like no 
doubt. 

895
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,840
And that has a lot to do with 
brain function. 

896
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,600
And I think people can think a 
lot clearer, be a lot more 

897
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,520
creative when when that 
metabolic regulation is in good 

898
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,760
balance. 
Yeah, very, very good thing for 

899
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,840
women to think about as they're 
choosing, you know, number one, 

900
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,760
what foundations to practice and
then what peptides to invest in.

901
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,400
Yeah. 
And I mean, it's the, it's gone 

902
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,800
bananas, you know, like there 
are, there's just so many 

903
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,560
sources for it now and the 
education is out there. 

904
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,960
And they're really powerful 
molecules. 

905
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,400
And, you know, they're amino 
acids. 

906
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,800
So they're cell signalers, and 
they really do a bunch of 

907
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,480
wonderful things. 
You just got to make sure your 

908
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,040
building blocks are solid first 
because they can be very 

909
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,240
expensive. 
And if you're not in, you know, 

910
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,520
metabolic regulation and hormone
regulation first, a lot of it is

911
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,040
not really going to work. 
And you're just, you know, 

912
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,320
throwing money down the drain. 
All right, Doctor Angela M 

913
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,520
Peterson, what a great 
discussion. 

914
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,120
Thank you for being so frank and
open and willing to discuss the 

915
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,880
subjects that women actually 
want to hear about. 

916
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,320
And if they want to hear more, 
or work with you or the other 

917

especially about kind of the 

921
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,200
sexual mismatch and obesity and 
how all of these just all of 

922
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,560
these things in our world has 
just caused us to be 

923
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,560
dysregulated and how we can ease
those, you know, out of our 

924
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,200
lives and make better decisions.
