Peptide Therapy: What Women Navigating Menopause Need to Know - #135
If you've spent any time on Instagram or TikTok lately, you've seen it. Peptide therapy. Everywhere. Promising weight loss, energy, anti-aging, and yes — menopause symptom relief. The before-and-after photos are compelling. The promises are bold. The packaging is pretty. And the price tags are steep.
But here's what's missing from most of those posts: the science, the safety, and the truth about what's actually regulated, what's actually studied, and what's actually being sold to you in a vial from a compounding pharmacy you've never heard of. And in some cases, from your own licensed practitioner.
Menopausal women are navigating in the dark. Being dismissed by their doctors. Feeling unheard. And turning to anything that promises relief.
On this episode with Dr. Catherine Johnson, we cut through the noise and give you the straight answers you deserve.
Dr. Johnson is Board-Certified in both Obesity Medicine and Emergency Medicine, and the Founder and Medical Director of Precision Medical Care, a private concierge practice she launched in 2018. She trained at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, completed her residency at the University of Chicago, and spent nearly two decades there as an Associate Professor. She holds advanced certifications from the Menopause Society and the Institute for Functional Medicine, with fellowship training in Precision Medicine.
This episode is for real women. In midlife and beyond. Those who are done being misled and ready for real answers.
