In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Angela Petersen, a practitioner and author focused on helping women restore metabolic balance, optimize hormones, improve libido, and reclaim vitality through peptides, lifestyle medicine, and root-cause healing.
We dive into the deeper issues impacting women’s health today- from hormone dysfunction and birth control to metabolic disease, libido loss, brain health, and the emotional toll of modern life. Dr. Angela shares her perspective on why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies, relationships, and energy levels, and how peptides, hormone optimization, and foundational health practices can help women feel like themselves again.
