Episode 20: How to Combine GLP-1s and Growth Hormone Peptides Safely for Aging Well, Better Recovery, and Improved Metabolic Function with Dr Jason Pencek

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode of Peptides for Women, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Jason Pencek, a longevity-focused nurse practitioner who specializes in hormones, peptides, and truly individualized dosing. If you’ve been confused about GLP-1s, worried about muscle loss, curious about growth hormone peptides, or wondering what “longevity dosing” even means… this episode is your new favorite.

In This Episode, We Cover:

What “longevity dosing” means for GLP-1s
How to avoid muscle loss on semaglutide or tirzepatide
Why nausea, fatigue, or zero appetite means your dose is too high
How GH peptides (CJC-1295, ipamorelin, tesamorelin) actually work
Benefits for perimenopause: sleep, recovery, body composition
Why under-eating + GLP-1s = thyroid and cortisol chaos
Peptide stacks for metabolic health and aging well
Labs that matter: fasting insulin, IGF-1, thyroid panel, CRP
When to pause or adjust peptides
Foundations before peptides: protein, lifting, steps, sleep
