Episode 25: How Regenerative Medicine Uses Peptides and GLP-1s to Support Women’s Hormones with Dr. Andrea Colon

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Colon, a naturopathic doctor specializing in integrative and regenerative medicine, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, IV therapy, gut health, and metabolic medicine.

Dr. Colon shares her personal health journey, how she approaches hormones and peptides in midlife women, and why foundations like labs, gut health, and lifestyle must come first before adding advanced therapies.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why comprehensive labs and lifestyle foundations must come before peptides or hormones
• How GLP-1s support metabolic health, inflammation, and weight loss when dosed appropriately
• The pros and cons of different hormone replacement options and how to individualize therapy
• Common root causes of fatigue and burnout in midlife women beyond “just hormones”
• How sleep, stress, and growth hormone support influence recovery and metabolic health
• Why libido is multifactorial and rarely fixed by testosterone alone
• The role of gut health in hormone balance and when peptides can support healing
• What truly drives skin, hair, aging, and longevity in midlife women
• Why peptide safety, proper dosing, and medical supervision are essential
• Real-world patient outcomes showing how peptides can unlock progress when foundations are in place
