Peptides for Women EPISODE 35: A Cancer Survivor’s Journey to Healing and Hormonal Resilience with Blair Critch
Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!
In this episode, I’m joined by Blair Critch, a cancer survivor, menopause mentor, and peptide educator, who shares her powerful and deeply personal journey through ovarian cancer, medically induced menopause, and finding true healing through integrative care and peptides. Blair opens up about advocating for herself when something felt “off,” navigating an estrogen-driven cancer diagnosis, and how peptides like NAD, glutathione, and GLP-1s helped her reclaim her health, energy, and confidence in midlife.
In this episode, we cover:
- Blair’s ovarian cancer diagnosis and why trusting your intuition matters
- The PALB2 gene, inflammation markers, and catching cancer early
- Medically induced menopause after cancer treatment and its symptoms
- Why NAD and glutathione were foundational in her recovery
- Using low-dose, physician-guided peptides safely after cancer
- GLP-1s for inflammation, metabolic health, and weight regulation
- Improvements in labs including A1C, cholesterol, thyroid, and CA-125
- Integrative healing during and after chemotherapy
- Libido, sexual wellness, and hormone shifts in midlife women
- Empowering women to ask for labs and advocate for their health
