Peptides for Women: What’s Real, What’s Hype & What Actually Works with Bria Gadd EP361

Send us Fan Mail Peptides are everywhere right now—but are they truly the future of women’s health, or just another wellness trend? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined once again by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and peptide educator Bria Gadd. Together, we break down what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and how to know whether they may be the right tool for you. Together they talk about GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide—and why using them well involves so much more than simply losing weight. We also explore peptides being used for healing and recovery, mitochondrial health, healthy aging, skin, hair, libido, and hormone support. Most importantly, this conversation isn’t about finding another shortcut. Peptides can be powerful tools, but they cannot replace nourishing your body, protecting your muscle, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and building a lifestyle that supports your health. **In this episode, we cover:** • What peptides are and why they’re suddenly everywhere • How peptides differ from hormones and traditional medications • Who may—or may not—be a good candidate • Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide beyond weight loss • How to protect muscle while using a GLP-1 • Peptides for recovery, longevity, skin, hair, and libido • Why lifestyle and nervous-system regulation still matter • Potential risks, side effects, and the importance of medical supervision • How to recognize a trustworthy provider and high-quality source • Where peptide therapy may be headed next in women’s medicine **Curious about peptides and want personalized guidance?
