In this episode, I’m joined by one of our favorite returning guests, Samantha Lander, for a fun and candid Q&A dedicated entirely to your peptide questions.
Samantha is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, certified personal trainer, holistic lifestyle coach, and peptide educator who works with women and men to improve their health from the inside out. Together, we tackle some of the most common questions and concerns we hear about peptides, from whether certain peptides are appropriate with a history of cancer to using peptides for metabolism, brain fog, recovery, and healthy aging.
We also dive into the importance of starting with the foundations before relying on peptides, why lower doses may sometimes be more appropriate, how Samantha approaches cycling peptides with her clients, and why the goal shouldn't simply be to suppress appetite or chase weight loss.
And, as always with Samantha, expect plenty of real-world clinical experience, honest opinions, and a few entertaining tangents along the way.
In this episode, we cover:
Whether growth hormone peptides are appropriate for people with cancer or a history of cancer
How Samantha uses bioregulators to support areas like sleep, cortisol, adrenal function, and thyroid health
Using Epitalon and Pinealon as part of a sleep and circadian rhythm protocol
Why Samantha prefers lower-dose GLP-1 approaches with many of her clients
The difference between appetite suppression and achieving appetite balance
Why metabolism doesn't necessarily “quit” when you turn 40
How peptides like AOD, 5-Amino-1MQ, Retatrutide, and Tirzepatide can fit into a broader metabolic strategy
Why cycling off GLP-1s and focusing on mitochondrial health may be important
The connection between gut health and brain fog
Peptides and other approaches Samantha uses for cognitive support
GHK-Cu, BPC-157, glutathione, and exosomes for skin and tissue repair
Whether peptides and other therapies can help support a healthier biological age
Why nutrition, movement, strength training, and foundational health still matter even when you're using peptides
Samantha's biggest advice for getting long-term results from peptides
