162: Not All Peptides Are GLP-1s: What Women Need to Know | Lizzie Ens

Peptides for beginners starts with one simple truth: not all peptides are GLP-1s, and your body already makes its own natural peptides. If you keep seeing peptides all over your feed and you still don’t know what they are, what they do, or whether they are safe, you are not alone. Here’s the thing. Jumping in without the right education, the right provider, or the basics in place can waste your money and cause real damage inside your body.

Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about the peptides that made the biggest difference in her own health, all used under the guidance of her doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt. You will hear how an eight-week cycle of thymosin alpha 1 brought her Hashimoto’s antibodies, once over 300, down close to remission, and how pairing BPC-157 and TB-500 with KPV calmed her gut inflammation within two days. Lizzie also breaks down oral peptides versus injections, why cycling matters, why she will never hand out dosages in her DMs, and why growth hormone peptides fall flat when cortisol and thyroid issues go unaddressed. If you want peptides to be the cherry on top and not a shortcut, start here.
