In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, a medical doctor specializing in functional and metabolic health, to talk about her journey from emergency medicine to functional medicine and how peptides have become an important part of her own health journey and her work with women.
Dr. Gajer shares how her experience with Lyme disease and the limitations she saw in conventional medicine led her to explore a deeper approach to health. We talk about mitochondrial health, healing peptides, growth hormone secretagogues, hormones, and how she approaches peptide protocols based on each woman’s individual symptoms, labs, and goals.
She also explains how she uses peptides like MOTC, SS31, NAD+, BPC-157, KPV, thymus, sermorelin, tesamorelin, and more, including how she thinks about supporting mitochondrial function and muscle mass in midlife women.
