Why I Stick Myself with Needles on Purpose: NAD, Peptides, and the Midlife Upgrade Nobody Told You About

🩸 Episode Summary:

Today we’re talking about cellular fuel, subcutaneous injections, and why I’m voluntarily sticking myself with needles. (Spoiler alert: it’s not about vanity. It’s about vitality.)

I’m breaking down what peptides are, what they do, and why NAD—though technically not a peptide—might be one of the most powerful tools in your midlife upgrade toolkit.

This isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about reclaiming clarity, energy, and longevity with science-backed, body-supporting tools that actually work—not just for biohackers, but for real-life women like us.


If you're curious about peptides, NAD+, and how to stack the deck in your favor, this one’s for you.

💥 What You’ll Learn:

  • What peptides actually are (no fluff, just biology)
  • Why NAD+ is often lumped in—but stands in a category of its own
  • The difference between oral, IV, and injection delivery methods
  • My personal experience starting NAD injections (detox symptoms included)
  • How NAD supports energy, brain clarity, sleep, recovery, and healthy aging
  • Why it’s not just for med spas, but for moms, leaders, and high-achieving midlife women who are tired of being tired

🧠 Favorite Quote from the Episode:

“I'm in the season of life where I'm done apologizing for tools that help me thrive.”

đź“ŤWhere to Start If You're Curious:

  • Work with a licensed, peptide-literate practitioner or functional medicine provider
  • Don’t fall down the TikTok rabbit hole—because bad medicine starts with bad algorithms
