In this episode of Own Your Piece, I’m joined by my dear friend and holistic health coach, Kristin Salvia, for an honest, science-backed conversation about GLP-1 medications and peptides. I share my personal journey using a GLP-1 and why I felt called to openly talk about my experience, while Kristin helps break down the science, benefits, and common myths surrounding them.

We explore how GLP-1s can support insulin resistance, metabolic health, and overall wellness beyond weight loss, the importance of microdosing, and why a holistic, individualized approach to health matters. We also dive into healing our relationship with food, emerging peptides, and why staying curious and informed is essential on any health journey.

Key Takeaways
