This week, Jess and Mikki dive into the booming world of peptides – from GLP-1s to BPC-157 – and ask the big questions: Why are women being targeted? Are they the quick fix they seem to be? And how do they stack up against the timeless pillars of health: sleep, strength, nutrition, and stress?

We unpack the marketing, the potential benefits, the cost, and most importantly, what needs to be in place before you add peptides to your protocol. If you've ever wondered whether to “run to the peptide store,” this episode is for you
