My Peptide Story
For as long as I can remember, I felt different.
Starting as a child, I was always sick. I never felt like my body worked the way everyone elseâs did. As I entered my teen years, hormones seemed to make everything worse. I gained weight rapidly despite being extremely mindful of what I ate, and my body constantly ached. I lived in pain, exhausted, and without answers.
Years later, after giving birth to my two beautiful girls, the pattern continued. The weight would creep up, and no matter how obsessed I was with working out or eating clean, it wouldnât come off. I was doing everything rightâyet my body refused to respond.
Thatâs when I began searching beyond conventional answers and into a more holistic space. I knew something deeper was going on.
Over the years, I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune and chronic conditions, including lupus, Hashimotoâs, endometriosis, PCOS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS, hypothyroidism, and labs that even showed fatty liver disease. Iâm sure Iâm missing a few. My body felt like it was constantly fighting itself.
I dove into plant medicine, which helped me significantly physically and opened me up spiritually as well. But even then, I still had rough days. The pain, inflammation, and weight were still a large part of what held me back from living my fullest life.
Then I started hearing about peptides in my holistic communityâand something clicked.
I went in headfirst.
I began with tirzepatide, but it wasnât the right fit for my body. Instead of giving up, I went down the rabbit holeâresearching, learning, and carefully experimenting on my own body. I learned that some peptides worked wonders for me, others I felt very little from, and some worked incredibly well for people around me. Thatâs when I truly understood: every body is different and responds differently.
Through this journey, I lost over 60 pounds in one yearâbut weight loss was never my main goal. What I was truly searching for was energy, relief from pain, and a reduction in inflammation.
And thatâs exactly what I found.
Today, I no longer live in chronic pain. My inflammation is gone. My brain is clear. I have energy. Most days, I feel like Iâm functioning at a level I never thought possible. Even my labs now reflect this healingâmy Hashimotoâs antibodies are no longer present, and my bloodwork looks fantastic.
As my own transformation became visible, my family and friends began asking questions. I started helping them with their health journeysâand the healing I witnessed in them was just as incredible. Many of the clients Iâve worked with have experienced profound improvements in energy, inflammation, body composition, mental clarity, and overall quality of life.
Watching these transformations is what ultimately confirmed for me that this is my path.
What most people didnât see was the countless hours of studying, researching, and learning Iâve done behind the scenesâover the last year and beyondâso I could help others navigate their peptide journeys with intention, education, and care.
This isnât a trend for me.
Itâs a calling.
Itâs a passion.
Itâs deeply personal.
I thank God every day that I found peptides. They truly saved my lifeâliterally. Before them, I felt like I was slowly dying. These beautiful amino chains gave me my life back.
This is my story. It is not a promise, a guarantee, or a prediction of healing for anyone elseâbut it is proof that there are answers, and that hope exists.
If youâve spent your life feeling like something was âoff,â I see you. đ¤
