Peptides, Gut Health & Hormone Secrets with Dr Jacey Folkers

Angela is joined by functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Jacey Folkers, who specialises in optimising health through lifestyle changes, peptides, hormone replacement therapy, and supplements. They discuss the importance of prioritising gut health and addressing gut issues, such as leaky gut and malabsorption, which can lead to autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and weight loss resistance. They also delve into the role of insulin resistance in hormone imbalances, particularly in women with conditions like PCOS, and how peptides like semi-glutide can positively influence insulin resistance and improve hormonal balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prioritising gut health is crucial for overall health and well-being, especially for individuals who exercise frequently. Insulin resistance can lead to hormone imbalances in women, and addressing insulin resistance can have positive effects on hormonal health. Artificial sweeteners, especially those found in processed foods and drinks, can have negative effects on the body and should be avoided or minimised. Supplementing with key nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and antioxidants can support energy production, combat oxidative stress, and promote overall health. Getting adequate sleep is important for optimal health, and prioritising sleep hygiene and creating a consistent sleep schedule can have a significant impact on well-being.
