Episode notes

What's really driving the sudden belly fat, brain fog, and sleep chaos so many women hit in midlife? And why do the usual "eat less, move more" solutions stop working overnight? In this episode featuring Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, we dig into the hormones and peptides that may finally explain why your body feels like it's changing without your permission.

Together, we unpack what's happening beneath the surface (insulin resistance, inflammation, mitochondrial slowdown, hormonal roller coasters), and ask the questions women are never told to ask. What if your symptoms aren't a lack of willpower but a lack of biochemical support? And what if the tools to help you already exist?

Which peptides actually matter for women in perimenopause and menopause? Which ones help with sleep, energy, weight, stress resilience, or recovery? And how do you know when it's time to consider hormone therapy or advanced diagnostics? Get all the answers in this episode!

In this episode, we uncover:

How shifting hormones trigger metabolic chaos long before menopause officially begins.
Why peptides like BPC-157 and MOTS-C may support healing, energy, and resilience.
How inflammation, gut health, and chemical exposures silently shape weight and symptoms.
Why GLP-1 medications aren't shortcuts, plus who actually benefits from them.
How personalized labs and targeted therapies can prevent years of unnecessary suffering.

If you're ready to understand your midlife body in a way no one has ever explained before, this episode is for you. Listen now to start feeling informed and empowered!
