  • #9 Your Peptide Success Kit—Protein, Lifting, and Smart Dosing with Dr. Angela Rahm
    Dec 4 2025

    Peptides are powerful—but they're not a hall pass. And that's exactly where most plans go wrong.

    In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke sit down with Dr. Angela Rahm, a naturopathic doctor with 15+ years of clinical experience, to unpack the real story behind GLP-1s: why dosing is the linchpin, how quality and lifestyle matter, and what it takes to keep muscle while you lose fat.

    If you've heard about "Ozempic face," hair shedding, or stalls that won't budge, you'll learn how smart protocols and simple habits flip those outcomes on their head.

    What We Cover:

    • The early "Wild West" of peptides, the sticker shock era, and the turning point that came with conservative dosing and patient education
    • Dr. Angela's own journey: from lifelong dieting to steady body recomposition—less inflammation, visible muscle, better skin, and a calmer brain
    • The Peptide Success Kit you can actually follow:
      • Hydrate with electrolytes
      • Eat protein at every meal
      • Lift to build and keep lean mass
      • Add fiber slowly to support your gut and regularity
    • What to expect: fewer cravings, more control around food, and a metabolism that prefers to burn rather than store
    • A candid case study: why pretzels-for-lunch plus takeout-for-dinner is a fast track to plateaus, even on GLP-1s
    • How telehealth safeguards dosing, quality, and medical oversight while letting coaches focus on training, meals, and mindset
    • Reframing peptides as bioidentical signaling—closer to modern HRT than a blunt drug—designed to restore what your body wants to do when you give it the right inputs

    For Anyone Ready to Work Smarter, Not Harder: This episode gives you the tools to feel normal around food again, preserve muscle, and get real, lasting results.

  • #5 GLP-1 vs. GIP: Understanding the Peptides Behind Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
    Dec 4 2025

    The rules of metabolism are being rewritten—and the script is simpler than you've been told: your body runs on signals.

    In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke dive into GLP-1 and GIP—the gut-brain messengers behind Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound—and show you how they restore the conversation between your pancreas, liver, and brain.

    When those messages are clear, blood sugar steadies, cravings quiet down, and energy lasts. When they're muffled by stress, poor sleep, and inflammation, insulin resistance takes over and everything feels harder than it should.

    What We Cover:

    • How GLP-1 and GIP work as gut-brain messengers to restore metabolic communication
    • Insulin resistance explained with a lock-and-key model you can picture instantly
    • How insulin resistance connects to fatty liver, rising cholesterol, and brain fog
    • Semaglutide (GLP-1) vs. Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP dual agonist): what's the difference and why it matters
    • Why the GIP layer often means gentler tolerance and broader metabolic benefits
    • Candid talk on side effects, microdosing, and smart titration strategies
    • How peptides ease whole-system strain across cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormones
    • What long-term wins actually look like: steadier energy, better focus, and a healthier liver

    For Anyone Ready to Stop Chasing Skinny and Start Chasing Stability: This episode gives you a clear path forward—grounded in science, free of hype, and focused on what actually works.

  • #15 What Peptide Should Dr. Kylie Start First?
    Dec 1 2025

    What peptide should Dr. Kylie start first? After recording this series, it's a question she's had on her mind and now, she's asking it herself.

    In this episode, Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Briecke walk through real clinical stories to answer one of the most common questions in peptide therapy: Where do I start? Or do I need to shift what I'm already using?

    Each story reveals something different about how peptides work—and more importantly, why the right peptide matters for the right person at the right time.

    What We Cover:

    • The real outcomes that went beyond the scale: confidence, clarity, energy, and bodies that stopped fighting themselves
    • What makes these wins possible: the right peptide for the right person, careful monitoring, and quality sourcing through trusted telemedicine and FDA-compliant pharmacies
    • GLP-1s and GIP: their role in metabolic transformation and why they work
    • BPC-157 and TB-500 for injury and inflammation—and why those tools turned good outcomes into great ones
    • NAD+ for real-world energy: supporting mitochondrial function for parents, professionals, and anyone running on empty
    • Delivery routes demystified: subcutaneous injections, sprays, and more
    • Practical stacking strategies: pairing GLP-1 with B12 or combining tissue-healing peptides during rehab
    • The framework: clarity over hype, people over protocol
    • Clinical takeaways you can use tomorrow: how to frame expectations, when to adjust dosing, and how to spot the quiet wins that matter most
    • And finally—what peptide Dr. Kylie is starting with first, and why

    For Anyone Weighing Peptide Therapy: If you've been wondering where to start your advanced peptide therapy, this episode walks you through the decision-making process using real stories and real science.

    For Practitioners: You'll walk away with insights you can apply immediately in your practice.
