Q&A: Peptides for Breastfeeding, Postpartum Weight Loss, Cancer History & How to Build Your Stack | Her Stack Series
3d ago00:39:37Tap to summarizeIn this Q&A episode of the Her Stack Series, I'm answering the peptide questions you're asking me every single day in my DMs and comments: → Can I take peptides while breastfeeding? → What if I have a personal or family history of cancer? → Why won't my postpartum belly fat budge, even when I'm doing everything "right"? → Blends vs. single peptides, which is right for me? → How do I build my own peptide stack without ending up on eight injections a day? I'm unfiltered in this one. I share why there will never be clinical trials on peptides during breastfeeding (and what that really means for you when you're making the decision), the truth about growth hormone, IGF-1, and theoretical cancer risk, and my honest take on why most peptide advice from men completely misses the mark for women.

The Complete Maternal Mental Health Protocol: Peptides, Anxiety, Depression, Bioregulators and the Science of the Postpartum Brain | Her Stack Series
2w ago01:03:48Tap to summarizeIn this Her Stack series episode, I open up about maternal mental health, postpartum anxiety, and the invisible biological load mothers carry long after the six-week checkup is over. This episode is not just for the newly postpartum mother. It is for the mother whose kids are four, eight, fifteen, and still asking herself why she does not feel like herself. I share why motherhood structurally changes the brain, hormones, and nervous system, and why so many mothers are left feeling anxious, foggy, depleted, or unlike themselves without ever being properly screened or supported. I walk you through the science of the postpartum neurosteroid withdrawal, the gray matter changes that persist for years, and the five-system map underneath maternal brain fog. Then I break down the full four-pillar protocol I use with my one-to-one clients: foundational nutrition, lifestyle and biohacking tools, the supplement layer including some of the most under-discussed compounds for the maternal brain, and the advanced peptide layer including Semax, Selank, NAD+, and bioregulators. This is the episode every mother needs. Send it to one. Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity.

Why Kids May Be Aging Faster Than They Should: C15:0, Nutrition Gaps, and Brain Health with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson of Fatty15
3w ago00:49:15Tap to summarizeDr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, veterinary epidemiologist, public health scientist, and co-founder of Fatty15 (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), shares the latest science on C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid she describes as the first essential fatty acid to emerge in over 90 years. This conversation explores why C15 may be foundational for cellular resilience, metabolic health, liver health, brain development, and long-term vitality. Stephanie explains how low C15:0 levels may contribute to fragile cells, accelerated aging, and modern health issues, and why this nutrient matters not just for adults, but for pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies, and children. We also talk about food sources like full-fat dairy, cheese, butter, goat and sheep products, why grass-fed matters, how to test your C15:0 levels, and why supplement quality is becoming more important than ever.

How I Got Into Peptides & Why Every Woman Should Know About Them
Apr 2300:47:48Tap to summarizeI'm finally sharing my full peptide journey: how it started after weaning Callahan, why MOTS-c was my first, and the exact stack I'm using right now for energy, skin, and longevity.
