In today's raw and honest episode, I sit down with my girl Chalene Johnson, who's currently recovering from age-affirming surgery in Miami to talk about something we both feel urgently needs to be addressed:
👉 the explosion of GLP-1 medications and peptides,
👉 the rapid rise of telehealth "prescribing" companies,
👉 and what women who have gone through breast cancer or are high-risk absolutely need to know before considering them.
This is NOT an anti-GLP-1 episode.
Both Chalene and I are transparent about our own journeys:
• I've been microdosing a GLP-1 under the care of my functional doctor
• Chalene has used BPC-157 and TB-500 through an in-person, vetted physician
Inside this Episode, We Break Down:
The Difference Between Real Medical Care vs. Telehealth Sales Funnels
Why Breast Cancer Survivors Must Be Especially Cautious
Peptides that contain growth factors (a big NO for hormone-positive cancer)
The importance of looping in your oncologist + functional doctor
The Hidden Risks No One Is Talking About
Chalene shares shocking findings from clinical trials showing that 48% of placebo users still lost significant weight… proving how powerful belief and expectation truly are.
Misconceptions About "Microdosing" GLP-1s
What true microdosing is
If you are considering:
• GLP-1s
• BPC-157
• TB-500
• "healing stacks"
• any peptide
➡️ Do it only in partnership with a real doctor you personally see and trust.
➡️ Discuss it with your oncologist first.
➡️ Avoid anything you can "add to cart."
Your safety matters more than trends.
And you deserve informed, evidence-based care — not TikTok advice.
