Are your peptides or GLP-1 medications really the problem, or is there something else happening beneath the surface?
In Episode 60 of The Loop Podcast, Steph is joined by peptide specialist Polo for an in-depth conversation about blood work, nutrient deficiencies, GLP-1 optimization, and why personalized health matters more than following trends. Together they break down why some people stall on GLP-1s, the importance of mitochondrial health, how proper nutrition affects peptide therapies, and why blood testing can reveal issues you would never find with a standard lab panel.
They also discuss emerging peptide therapies, ATX403, supplements that support longevity, peptide stacking, sexual health peptides, skincare, and how the new Loop Health community is helping people make informed decisions about their health.
Whether you're already using peptides, considering GLP-1 therapy, or simply looking to better understand your body, this episode is packed with practical education to help you optimize your health safely.
