Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Greg Burzynski, a board-certified internal medicine physician, longevity specialist, and founder of resTOR Longevity Clinic and Houston Concierge Medicine in Houston, Texas, to talk about his approach to preventative medicine, metabolic health, and personalized peptide therapy.

Dr. Burzynski shares how his medical journey led him from traditional internal medicine to integrative and longevity-focused care. We discuss the evolution of GLP-1 medications, why some patients experience significant improvements in their weight and energy, and what to look at when progress stalls. Dr. Burzynski also shares some of the peptides he uses in his practice, his personal peptide stack, and the emerging areas of research that have him excited about the future of medicine.

In this episode, we cover:

• Dr. Burzynski's journey from traditional internal medicine to integrative and longevity-focused care

• How GLP-1 medications have evolved, from liraglutide to semaglutide and tirzepatide

• Why weight loss can improve energy and other aspects of metabolic health

• How lifestyle changes can help support long-term weight maintenance after GLP-1 treatment

• Why nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other foundations matter alongside peptide therapy

• How gut health and micronutrient testing can help identify potential barriers to progress

• Using DEXA scans and lab work to monitor body composition and overall health during weight loss

• Why preserving muscle mass matters when using GLP-1 medications

• Peptides Dr. Burzynski discusses for immune support, muscle health, mood, and longevity

• His personal peptide stack, including tirzepatide, CJC-1295, and ipamorelin

• How Dr. Burzynski approaches peptide use for women in midlife

• Why medical oversight and individualized assessment matter when exploring peptide therapies

• Emerging areas of research in longevity, brain health, and regenerative medicine

• Dr. Burzynski's vision for a more preventative approach to healthcare
