Show Notes
Welcome back to the Peptides for Women podcast! This is a special bonus episode to share something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a long time: Peptides for Practitioners, our brand-new certification course designed to take the confusion, guesswork, and overwhelm out of peptides. If you’re a practitioner, health coach, or even someone who keeps getting asked about peptides and isn’t sure what’s actually safe, ethical, or effective, this episode is for you. And if you’re not a practitioner but want a deeper, responsible understanding of peptides, you can absolutely take this course too! Peptides for Practitioners is our certification course that teaches you the science, safety, and real-world strategy behind peptide therapy, so you can confidently integrate them into your existing protocols for fat loss, gut repair, inflammation, hormones, and metabolic health. Inside the course, you’ll learn: Exactly which peptides actually work
How to dose and stack them responsibly
How to stay within ethical and legal scope, whether you’re licensed or not
And how to layer peptides with nutrition, labs, lifestyle, and hormone work to get better results (without burnout!)
In March 2026, we’re hosting a live cohort with four interactive calls, where Tina Haupert and I walk you through real cases, answer your questions, and show you how we actually use peptides in our practices. You’ll earn NASM continuing education units, plus get done-for-you clinical tools, white-label resources, microdosing strategies, and a full peptide integration blueprint you can start using immediately. If you’re ready to step into one of the fastest-growing areas in functional health with confidence and credibility, Peptides for Practitioners is your next move! For one month only, February 2026, we’re offering 50% off this course.You get the full course, which you can complete over a weekend, plus four live calls. You’ll also receive multiple bonus modules and recordings from our October 2025 live cohort.This is a steal!

Welcome back to the Peptides for Women podcast!
Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Tina Haupert, the woman behind Carrots ’N Cake, an FDN practitioner, longtime health and fitness blogger, and experienced peptide self-experimenter. Tina has been on a long health journey with ulcerative colitis, and her search for better health has led her to explore a wide range of peptides for healing, inflammation, pain, metabolism, body composition, and overall health. Tina and I talk about the good, the bad, and the unexpected parts of using peptides. She shares some of her biggest peptide wins, as well as the experiences that did not go as planned, including some pretty intense reactions to MOTS-c, Thymosin Alpha-1, and FOXO4-DRI. We also talk about the peptides that have worked really well for her, including ARA 290 for nerve pain, GLP-1s for appetite control and food noise, and Tesamorelin + KPV for body composition and inflammation. Tina shares why she prefers a low-and-slow approach, how her experience with peptides has changed over time, and why the same peptide can affect two people very differently. Most importantly, this episode is about looking at peptides as another tool in the toolbox rather than a magic solution. Your experience may be completely different from someone else’s, which is why bio-individuality, proper guidance, and understanding the bigger picture all matter. In this episode, we cover: Tina’s health journey with ulcerative colitis and what led her to functional nutrition and peptides Why BPC-157 + TB-500 was Tina’s “gateway peptide” Her experience with MOTS-c and intense injection site reactions Why MOTS-c may not be a good fit for everyone Tina’s experience with a high dose of Thymosin Alpha-1 and the importance of starting low and slow FOXO4-DRI and the theory behind targeting senescent “zombie” cells Why the dose can make a big difference with peptides Tina’s experience using ARA 290 for severe nerve pain Tina’s experience with Tirzepatide and Retatrutide Why Retatrutide caused increased heart rate and anxiety for Tina at higher doses Why individual responses to GLP-1s can be so different Tina’s experience with Tesamorelin + KPV Her less positive experience with Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin KPV for inflammation and why Tina likes combining it with growth hormone peptides Tina’s experience with 5-Amino and increased energy Her first impressions of topical GHK-Cu for skin How practitioners can troubleshoot when a peptide isn’t producing the expected results Peptides for Practitioners and the importance of learning how to use peptides responsibly with clients How practitioners can integrate peptide education into their businesses Why getting different perspectives from other practitioners can be valuable Connect with Tina Haupert: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake/
Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Dustin Robinson, founding partner of LumaLex Law, an attorney, CPA, and entrepreneur who works with companies in emerging and highly regulated industries. We’re talking about the legal and regulatory side of the peptide industry, including research-use peptides, compounding pharmacies, telehealth, social media, and what doctors and consumers should understand as the industry continues to evolve. Dustin shares why peptides, psychedelics, cannabis, healthcare, and other industries can be so complicated from a legal perspective. We also talk about the differences between research-use-only (RUO) products and regulated compounding pharmacies, how state and federal regulations can overlap, and why the laws surrounding peptides can change so quickly. We also get into the recent discussions around peptides being considered for the 503A bulk drug list, what that could mean for access, the future of peptide supply chains, and why the demand for peptides could create new challenges for pharmacies and API manufacturers. Finally, Dustin explains some of the legal risks around affiliate marketing and social media, including why peptide companies and influencers need to be careful about what they say online and how Meta handles content related to regulated industries. In this episode, we cover: Why emerging industries like peptides, psychedelics, cannabis, and healthcare have complicated legal frameworks
