Peptides, Energy, and Escaping Toxic Relationships

What if the “fountain of youth” could be found in something as small as peptides? In this episode, Sandra Lena Silverman dives deep into the world of anti-aging science and emotional wellness. Sandra and co-host Brita sit down with Dr. Nadia, a licensed naturopathic doctor, to explore how peptides are being used for skin healing, collagen regeneration, recovery, and even reversing signs of aging. From copper peptides to NAD injections, Dr. Nadia explains what works, what doesn’t, and how lifestyle choices like sleep and nutrition remain the foundation of any true glow-up. But it’s not just about looking younger—it’s about feeling stronger inside and out. Sandra also opens up about toxic relationships, sharing her own experiences and red flags to watch for in friendships, partners, and work environments. With raw honesty and real-life examples, she and Brita unpack how to spot jealousy, set boundaries, and walk away when it’s time. What You’ll Learn in This Episode The science behind peptides: what they are, how they work, and different delivery methods (oral, topical, injectable). Why NAD is being called “fuel for your cells” and how it impacts energy, recovery, and aging. The truth about accessibility, cost, and safety of peptides—and why reputable sources matter. How toxic relationships affect your health and happiness, and the red flags you should never ignore. Practical steps to set boundaries and protect your energy.
