Most conversations about peptides start and end with Ozempic. But there is an entire category of peptides that work completely differently, and if you are a woman in midlife who is doing everything right and still not getting the results you expect from your body, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Tanya covers the growth hormone releasing peptides, what they are, how they work, and why they are a fundamentally different conversation from last week's GLP-1 discussion. She breaks down the key peptides in this category including ipamorelin, CJC-1295 without DAC, Sermorelin, and Tesamorelin, explains the difference between supporting your body's own hormone production and overriding it, and shares her honest take on MK-677 and the trade-off most people skip over.
This is episode two of a four-part July series called Peptides: What You Need to Know. Next week in Episode 57, Tanya moves into the healing and repair peptides including BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu, the copper peptide.
