<p><strong>Episode Description:</strong></p><p>We promised you peptides.

And not the weight loss hype. The real conversation about what these are actually doing in your body, the anti-inflammatory benefits, the emerging cancer research, and why this is not a magic fix for anyone.</p><p>Plus hormone updates, the GLP and peptide gray market situation, why your gym membership should be covered by insurance, why most OB-GYNs have exactly one course on menopause, and the hope that the next generation of women gets something a whole lot better than what we got.</p><p>We mean business.

Are you aging on purpose or just going along for the ride?
<p>Sara and Liz get into hormone results, biological age testing, peptides, the scroll that is quietly making you okay with doing less, and why staying curious might be the most important thing you can do right now.</p><p>Sara and Liz are finally both getting their numbers back and things are moving in the right direction. Sara's Function results are in with 124 biomarkers tested and only four out of range. Liz's estrogen and progesterone have doubled since switching to the patch and oral progesterone, her thyroid is suddenly functioning great, and she's starting a low dose compounded testosterone cream. They get into what these tests actually tell you, why your doctor probably isn't ordering them, and how to find discounts that make comprehensive testing actually accessible.</p><p>They also get into BPC-157, what peptides actually are, shelf life and timing, and why that use by date matters more than you think.</p><p>And then things go wonderfully sideways. Quicksand fears, sharks in pools, a surprise Galapagos story involving hammerhead sharks and a full panic attack, and the TikTok AI policy that is using your likeness without your knowledge or consent.</p><p>The through line in all of it is something worth sitting with. The scroll is not just a distraction. It is actively making it easier to choose easy every single time. And as we get older that pull gets stronger. Staying curious, doing hard things, knowing your numbers, that is the fight. And it is worth fighting.</p><p>Next episode: peptides, for real this time. And they are recording in person.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Products and resources mentioned:</strong></p><p>Function Health (comprehensive biomarker testing) </p><p>**Hone Health (hormone testing panel) <a href="https://start.honehealth.com/hermes/landing?utm_source=user&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=7837E41B" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">honehealth.com</a></p><p>Lugol's Iodine Solution (thyroid support)</p><p>BPC-157 (peptide, compounding pharmacy, check your use by date)</p><p>Viome (gut and health testing)</p><p>Equinox member discount for Function Health</p><p>**We make this podcast with <a href="https://descript.cello.so/zlrIwDTNkkE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">descript.com</a>.

Zero F's Given. Turns out that's a menopause thing.
<p>Sara and Liz are finally talking about one of the better kept secrets of menopause. The zero f's given shift. The moment you stop managing everyone else's feelings and start being okay with your own. It's real, it's liberating, and it turns out it happens to a lot of us.</p><p>But this episode covers a lot of ground. Liz has been feeling off and is done waiting for her doctor to order the tests she's asking for. Sara is done with the scroll and has been quietly pulling back from social media in ways that are actually helping. They both get into the gratitude practice that works without the pressure, why getting outside is sometimes the only reset that cuts through a bad menopause mood, and how corporations quietly taking over everything from your vet to your grocery store is affecting all of us more than we realize.</p><p>Oh, and there's an iPhone red light trick for middle of the night wake ups that you are going to want to know about.</p><p><strong>What we cover:</strong>The zero f's given shift and why it might be a gift. Perimenopause symptoms nobody recognized until years later. Taking hormone testing into your own hands. The gratitude flood practice. Resetting when the mood takes over. Corporate takeovers and what they cost us. Social media fasts and the scroll that eats your afternoon. The red light iPhone trick. </p><p><strong>Products and resources mentioned: (some of these are affiliate links)</strong></p><p>Hone Health (hormone testing panel) https://honehealth.com/</p><p>get a free month of basic membership: https://start.honehealth.com/hermes/landing?utm_source=user&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=7837E41B</p><p>Bodyguard screen protector (red light blue light blocker)</p><p>https://www.bodyguardz.com/</p><p>Crowd Health (health sharing alternative to insurance) Liz's referral code: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/?referral_code=078O7C</p><p>Function Health (mentioned, not fully researched yet) functionhealth.com</p><p>Dr. Stacy Sims, women are not small men</p><p>https://www.drstacysims.com/wansm</p><p>iPhone red light trick: triple click the side button (may need to enable in accessibility settings)</p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong><a href="mailto:ohtellmepodcast@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ohtellmepodcast@gmail.com</a></p><p>This podcast is for informational and personal experience purposes only.
