Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!
In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Lee Anne Dunson, mom of 4, longtime fitness and health coach, and the creator of the Snatch Back Your Sexy™️ program. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “doing everything right” in perimenopause or menopause (eating well, working out, sleeping, managing stress) and still feel inflamed, puffy, stuck, tired, or frustrated… this conversation will shift your perspective.
In this episode, we cover:
- When hormones are optimized but you still don’t feel good
- Why low-carb eating contributed to metabolic dysfunction
- What GLP-1 microdosing looked like in real life (not influencer dosing)
- Why improved blood sugar equals improved inflammation
- Nervous system healing as a metabolic tool
- Balancing intentional eating without obsessiveness
- Why your hunger cues matter
- How to actually sustain change without timelines or comparison
