Ep 122: Should We Trust In Peptides? | #gotherbackpodcast
Kathy Wieliczko is a nurse practitioner who learned about hormone replacement therapy from Real Housewives of New Jersey. Not from school, or from her doctor, but from Bravo.
Her own GYN told her she'd go up a few dress sizes in menopause and that was just life now. Kathy said absolutely not, blocked every person she knew, started an anonymous Instagram at 52, and turned into the girlfriend we all wish we'd had. (You know, the one who tells you the truth in the back of the Uber at 2 AM.)
She gives Meg and Carrie the whole list this week. The alcohol. The Peloton habit that had her cortisol through the roof. Why she quit chasing splat points and started lifting heavy for 30 minutes instead. And then they get into peptides, GLP-1 microdosing, and the sketchy vials people are mixing at their kitchen counter like Walter White.
Pull up a chair, sis.
This is just girl friends talking, not medical advice. Go see your own provider.
