How to Do Weight Loss Peptides THE RIGHT WAY: Build Muscle, Lower Inflammation, & Lose Weight!

Jessica Brennan, started in the fitness industry 10 years ago as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, realized early on that achieving health goals went beyond physical activity. This realization led Jessica to pursue certifications in nutrition, hormone specialist, and gut health specialist, aiming to address health challenges holistically.Working closely with Karen at Hormone Solutions, Jessica is dedicated to sharing her expertise with women globally. Her areas of expertise include bodybuilding, women's hormone health, personalized nutrition, peptide therapy, and chronic illness management.

Jessica is with me this time to discuss our one-year anniversary of being on weight loss peptides. We also created our weight loss peptide group about a year ago which, in addition to our own experiences, has provided us many different points of view on the ups and downs that members face. We'll share personal stories and lessons learned from our community of over 200 members, discussing the use of GLP-1 peptides, strategies for minimizing side effects, and the importance of muscle preservation. We also get into how peptides can improve sleep, athletic performance, and hormonal balance.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How weight loss peptides and hormone optimization can transform wellness and fitness goals.
  • Optimizing peptide regimens to minimize side effects and prevent muscle loss.
  • Why holistic health approaches are crucial for long-term wellness beyond just weight reduction.
  • Why addressing foundational health practices enhances the success of hormonal treatments.
  • How hormone balance plays a crucial role in weight control and muscle preservation, especially during menopause.
  • Why effort and the right mindset are non-negotiables for achieving fitness goals.
  • Why women should progress beyond comfort zones in weightlifting for muscle development.
  • How peptides synergize with training, emphasizing workout efficiency for busy individuals.
  • Why long-term peptide use may be necessary for ongoing health maintenance and weight management.
  • How guilt associated with medication for weight control should be reframed as a preventive health measure.
  • How GLP-1 agonists impact the immune system, mental health, and metabolic functions.
  • Tirzepatide's positive influence on thyroid function.
  • How addressing hormonal imbalances in conjunction with weight loss efforts leads to better outcomes.
  • Why community support can be transformative in the health and fitness journey.
