In this episode, I break down the reality of PED use — from what these drugs actually are, to how they affect your body and mind. I cover the real reasons people use performance-enhancing drugs, the misconceptions that lead to misuse, and the irreversible consequences, especially for women.
I also share what responsible PED use looks like, the red flags to watch out for, and the deeper mindset questions you need to ask before ever deciding to take them. This isn’t fear-mongering — it’s about informed consent and long-term health.
