Peptides, HRT, & Genetics: What The Labs Reveal

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Lauren Colletti, FNP, a Board-Certified Functional Medicine expert, to dive deep into the world of bioidentical hormones, peptides, and the "divisive" issues facing the health industry today.

Lauren has spent nearly 20 years in healthcare, helping thousands of people navigate hormonal shifts, thyroid issues, autoimmunity, fertility, and menopause. As a high-performer who is turning 40 this year and preparing for a major race in September, I wanted to get the real story on what it takes to be "optimal" on the inside—not just look fit on the outside.

We discuss:

The TRT & Steroid Myth: Is testosterone replacement just for "ripped guys at the gym," or is it the key to long-term vitality?

Environmental Disruptors: The "forever chemicals" in our water, deodorant, and athletic wear that are literally down-regulating our natural hormone production.

Functional vs. Western Medicine: Why "normal" blood work doesn't always mean you're healthy, and why Lauren looks at the body as one interconnected system.

The Truth About Peptides: From Ozempic (GLP-1) to Growth Hormones, we talk about the massive benefits for inflammation and the serious risks of DIY mixing.
