Peptides & GLP-1s for Women’s Health (3-Part Series)
Episode 39: Peptides & GLP-1s for Women’s Health (3-Part Series)
Part 3 of 3: Perimenopause, Hormones & the Power of Peptides
Episode Summary
In the finale of our peptide series, host Kellie Hoover breaks down what really happens in perimenopause—why fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can change sleep, mood, cravings, and body composition—and how peptides can support your biology through this transition. In plain English, Kelly explains how to steady energy, protect muscle, improve recovery, and support skin and collagen while navigating midlife shifts. You’ll also learn her simple M.O.M. Framework—Muscle first, Optimize protein, and Master recovery—so you can build strength, stabilize appetite, and manage stress with a practical plan (not perfection). If your body feels like it’s “updating its operating system” every week, this episode helps you replace confusion with clarity and take charge of your hormonal health with confidence.
Episode Highlights
- Understanding Perimenopause
- Peptides 101 (Quick Refresh)
- Metabolism Reset
- The M.O.M. Framework:
- M — Muscle First: Strength train 2–4x/week to protect metabolism, joints, bones, and confidence.
- O — Optimize Protein: Aim for 30–40g per meal; anchor breakfast to calm cravings and preserve lean mass.
- M — Master Recovery: Prioritize sleep hygiene, stress care (walks, breathwork, boundaries), hydration, and electrolytes
- Myth Busting:
- “Perimenopause = weight gain.” False. You can change your trajectory with training, nutrition, and smart tools.
- “It’s HRT or nothing.” Not true. There’s a personalized spectrum—nutrition, stress care, peptides, and (for some) HRT.
- “Eat less, move more” fixes everything. Ineffective. In midlife, muscle is the metabolism lever.
- Smart Use of Peptides: Tools—not magic. Pair with protein and strength training; always work with a qualified clinician and accredited pharmacies.
Final Takeaway
Perimenopause isn’t an ending—it’s a transition. With the right plan, you can feel strong, clear, and energized. Build muscle, fuel with adequate protein, protect recovery, and use peptides strategically (with clinical guidance) to support appetite, sleep, mood, and skin. Your hormones may shift, but your ability to thrive does not have to fade.
