This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. I am not a doctor. Always consult your physician before starting any new health regimen.

In this episode I break down Melanotan II, a man-made peptide designed to copy a signal your body already knows how to receive, that activates a whole network of switches throughout your body and your brain. I’m explaining it like you’re in 5th grade. What it actually is, where the real research lives, and why I’m being upfront that some of it is human data and some of it is still early stage. We cover the pigmentation science, the desire and arousal research (yes that’s documented and the story behind it is wild), appetite and energy, and inflammation. Plus what to watch for and why doctor supervision is non-negotiable. If you’ve been curious about this one and wanted someone to just explain it honestly, this episode is for you.

Want to learn how I personally access peptides through a licensed telehealth provider with real doctor supervision? DM me “PODCAST” on Instagram @peptideswithmichele or email michele@balanceonthego.net and I’d love to point you in the right direction.
