Ep 137 8 Health Rules I Disagree With: Peptides, Supplements & Gut Health

What if some of the health “rules” you’re trying so hard to follow aren’t actually helping you? In this episode, I’m sharing my hot takes on some of the biggest conversations happening in nutrition, gut health, and women’s health right now. From peptides and GLP-1s to the 10,000-step rule, supplements, hormone therapy, food sensitivity tests, and what really supports your microbiome, I’m breaking down where the science is more nuanced than social media makes it seem. My goal is to help you stop wasting your time, money, and energy on health advice that may not serve you and make more informed decisions about what actually deserves a place in your routine.
