Everyone’s obsessed right now with GLP-1s.

But what I’m actually even MORE excited about at the moment is Thymosin Alpha-1. A peptide that helps modulate the immune system to make it smarter.

Especially for those of us in midlife, what does being thinner even matter if our immune system isn’t functioning well and we get really (really) sick?

If our immune system is exhausted, confused, constantly overreacting, and/or triggering chronic inflammation…
This will only age us faster, making us more vulnerable to infections, autoimmunity, and chronic disease.

I want to do all I can to prevent this.

This is why I am so genuinely excited about discovering Thymosin Alpha-1.

This peptide feels like a quiet, behind-the-scenes hero that most people don’t even know exists yet — but should.

What really has my attention is how Thymosin Alpha-1 is being used to support people dealing with thing like:
• Chronic infections
• Lyme and co-infections
• Mold exposure
• Autoimmune
- The “C” word

For over a decade, my family and I have navigated health challenges that I eventually traced back to stress and toxic exposures… that caused immune confusion….that caused chronic inflammation….that cause multiple challenging symptoms.

If we want to age well, we have to reduce the burden on the immune system and help it function properly so we still have strong defenses as we get older.

This feels like a smart, foundational move — not a trendy one.

GLP-1s may be having their moment — and yes, they have a place.
But immune intelligence, regulation, and resilience?
That’s the conversation that really needs to happen.

I’ll be continuing this conversation — along with other tools I’m using to slow the aging process — inside my private Facebook group.

Comment FB GROUP and I’ll DM you the link.

I can also share my resource for trustworthy peptides through a regulated compounding pharmacy!

Who remembers playing the game Telephone as a kid?
The message starts clear… but by the end it’s totally scrambled and we all thought that was very funny.

Peptides — like GLP-1s — are signaling molecules.
Their job is to deliver a message from one part of the body to another, especially the brain.

But as we age — with inflammation, oxidative stress, poor gut health, and metabolic dysfunction — the signals can weaken.

The messages don’t land the way they are supposed to…which can result in a multitude of unwanted symptoms, including trouble losing weight.

That’s why peptides can feel so powerful — they strengthen the signal and help the message get through.

But if we don’t also untangle the wire — meaning reduce inflammation, support detox, and restore cellular health —
what happens when someone stops the peptides?

- The message remains scrambled or too soft.
- The person is right back where they started.

That’s why I created my Midlife Breakthrough System — to help improve the communication system in the body and give these signals a better chance of being heard loudly.

Whether someone chooses to use peptides or not, the goal is the same:

Strong signals…clear pathways…and results that last.

✨ If you’ve had ENOUGH of going backwards after stopping a peptide, or want to “untangle your wires” while you are using them, comment ENOUGH and I’ll send you the details.

Looking forward to starting this book, especially after listening to a really great podcast with and .

What they discuss is very much in alignment with what I have been sharing and trying to help my clients with.

They bring up the important of topic of detoxification and how this process needs to be supported for anyone on both HRT and using a GLP-1!

I was so happy to hear this being discussed, as I agree not enough health practioners or people promoting the peptides ever mention it.

I’ve talked before about how our bodies need to detox estrogen efficiently…and also how when fat cells are shrunk during weight loss, the toxins that get stored there are released.

So what happens when a woman is on BOTH hormone replacement AND a GLP-1, yet she is not supporting detox? And what if she is genetically wired with poor detox genes?😳

This is why I’m often talking about the power of knowing your genetic susceptibilities, testing to see what’s happening in real time with hormone detox pathways…and most recently I’ve been posting about the foundations we don’t want to ignore if deciding to take the GLP-1 peptides.

This is also why I recently created my Midlife Breakthrough system to support people if they choose to use the GLP-1 peptide….additionally I offer guidance to support people through the foundations to begin first and see if they even need to use peptides at all. Maybe they don’t!

If you are stuck with your weight loss journey and want the most personalized actionable insight, I cannot recommend enough getting your nutrigenetic testing done with me.

If you are interested in learning more about my Midlife Breakthrough system comment “READY”.

If you want to take advantage of having a free Discovery Call with me next week to discuss genetic testing and any of this further, I have just opened a few blocks of time for you to book a call.

To set up a call, comment “DISCOVERY” and I’ll DM you my calendar link.

Have a good day, I’m excited to begin the book!

Since I did my first biological age test almost 2 1/2 years ago I have slowed down my pace of aging from 0.98 to 0.85. This means for every calendar year, I’m not biologically aging a full year!!

I’ve been fascinated with longevity and slowing the aging process more and more as I’ve been along this interesting health journey I never could have predicted would happen to me.

I’ve been spending time to better understand this more recent testing so I can keep improving myself, and do this with other people.

I’m actually going on the most incredible trip to Greece in October that focuses on this exact topic. More to come on that another time.😊

What is very significant I want to point out is this…

So what have I been doing over these past couple of years to slow my rate of aging even more??

I’ve used my genetic test results to pinpoint what my body needs most!

This includes the addition of NRF2 pathway activation, Mitochondrial support and NAD!

I swear by implementing the concept of ACTIVATION.🧬

I’ve also detoxed myself from Mold and have been chipping away at Lyme, co-infections and viral loads.

All the above helps improve the immune system to function better by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress!

I’m looking forward to a retest after I implement more tweaks to my regimen.

Keep following me if your goal is to lose weight and age better! I invite you to join my private Facebook group for these discussions. Comment below FB GROUP and I’ll reach out!

I’ve come to the realization that I’ve pinpointed an exceptional pairing that sets the stage for a pretty darn perfect marriage. ✨

Activation + Peptides = smarter, more efficient results🌈

GLP-1 peptides are powerful signaling molecules.
They tell the body what to do. In a body where the signals have been lost or muffled, this can have great benefit.

But here’s the piece that often gets missed….
When oxidative stress, inflammation, and detox bottlenecks are high, those signals don’t land as clearly.

That’s why pairing NRF2 activation with GLP-1 peptides just makes sense.

Reducing oxidative stress, calming inflammation, and supporting detox pathways helps the body receive and respond to the signal more efficiently — which supports better, more sustainable weight loss outcomes.

And let’s talk about collagen for a second…
When weight is coming off, structure matters. Inside and out.

Supporting collagen helps maintain skin integrity, connective tissue, and overall resilience during the process.

This combo isn’t about forcing results.
It’s about creating the right internal environment so the body can do what it already knows how to do — more efficiently, more intelligently, and more sustainably.

Sometimes the magic isn’t adding more…
It’s pairing the right things together. ✨

I didn’t include it in the photo, but the P84 gut system is also a key addition to this relationship!

Where are you at with your weight loss journey?

If you are seeking support with or without a GLP-1, please reach out or comment with any questions.

My new Midlife Breakthrough system is also available to support you with a clear path. Comment “READY” if you are ready to learn more how to get started.

So many people have had enough trying to do all the right things and yet not getting lasting results.

Enough trying all the diets and supplements…and still feeling stuck.

Enough restrictive eating programs, short-term detoxes that don’t stick, decision fatigue, and confusion about what actually works.

Enough postponing considering trying a GLP-1 peptide that may be the tool they actually need right now.

If this feels like you, I want you to know about what I’ve been working on.

I created my Midlife Breakthrough system for exactly that moment — when you’ve had ENOUGH and you’re ready to stop going in circles and start making progress.

This is an 8-week system designed to help you:
✨ support weight loss
✨ increase energy
✨ reduce inflammation
✨ slow aging
✨ and finally get clarity on the steps that matter

This is a step-by-step approach — starting with a 2-week detox and building momentum from there.

If someone asked me where would I start when it comes to weight loss, with or without a GLP-1? This is it.

There are TWO paths you can choose:
⭐️Midlife Breakthrough — foundations first
⭐️Midlife Breakthrough PLUS — foundations + GLP-1 metabolic support

Both options include access to weekly live group coaching Zoom sessions.

If you’ve had ENOUGH of feeling stuck…
comment ENOUGH and I’ll share the details with you. 💙

*if you are already on a GLP-1 but missing the foundations and want the support, this is for you too😊

Are you overwhelmed and stuck with where to begin with your weight loss journey?

Or are you currently on a plan (with or without peptides) that isn’t simultaneously working on the things I am talking about?

Let’s start the conversation!

Your gut is the foundation of the foundation of your health.
You can’t build anything solid on a cracked base, right?

If you have a “leaky gut”, symptoms don’t just stay in the gut….

It can impact:
• Mood and anxiety
• Brain fog and cognition
• Sleep quality
• Immune function
• Chronic inflammation
• Hormone balance
• And your ability to lose weight or keep it off

This isn’t opinion — research continues to show that increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) is linked to systemic inflammation, immune activation, metabolic dysfunction, and even changes in neurotransmitter signaling that affect mood and cognition.

The gut is commonly at the root.

I shared in my stories yesterday a leaky gut test result from someone using the new gut system I’m now using myself.
After just a few short weeks:
✨ 2 out of 3 leaky gut markers completely improved.

That is truly incredible! Especially because this system is:
• Simple
• No pills
• Replaces multiple bottles of supplements
• Easy to stay consistent with

I even have my 23-year-old taking this daily because it’s so simple she will comply.

People don’t fail protocols — protocols fail people when they’re too complicated or overwhelming.

This is why I’m so excited about this approach. It actually works in real life.

We cannot ignore gut health if the goal is weight loss, metabolic health, or optimal aging.

This is also why I’ve been openly saying:
➡️ GLP-1s should not be used in isolation
➡️ At minimum, gut health must be addressed before or alongside them

If digestion is slowed, detox pathways are compromised, and the gut barrier is inflamed — we’re missing the foundation.

If you want real, sustainable results…
If you want to lose weight and age better…
If you want more energy, clarity, and resilience…

You must start with the gut.

Comment “GUT” and I’ll share the gut system I’m talking about.
