In this episode, Brad Williams welcomes Michelle Zellner for her third guest appearance—the first to hit that milestone on the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast. Together, they explore the world of peptides, discussing what they are, how they work, and why they could be the missing link in your weight loss, recovery, and longevity game over 40.

What Are Peptides?

Chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body.
Your body naturally produces peptides—like insulin—but modern science can now identify and supplement bioactive peptides (those that signal specific biological functions like fat burning, energy production, and muscle growth).

Why Peptides Matter Over 40

As we age, the body’s ability to produce essential peptides and perform key functions (e.g., metabolism, muscle repair, liver detox) declines.
Supplementing smartly with targeted peptides could help fill in these performance and health gaps.

Michelle's Personal Experience

Michelle shares her extremely low leptin levels (a hormone responsible for satiety), validating her lifelong struggle with constant hunger—despite following a clean, high-protein lifestyle.
Using peptide-based supplements (specifically from a company called Make Wellness), she reports improved appetite regulation, fat loss, energy, and recovery, especially from their Fit and Lean products.

Make Wellness & AI-Powered Peptides

Make Wellness formulates AI-driven, plant-based peptide supplements.
Their unique delivery matrix helps peptides survive digestion and reach target systems (e.g., muscle, metabolism, brain).
