Episode 20: How to Combine GLP-1s and Growth Hormone Peptides Safely for Aging Well, Better Recovery, and Improved Metabolic Function with Dr Jason Pencek

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast!

In this episode of Peptides for Women, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Jason Pencek, a longevity-focused nurse practitioner who specializes in hormones, peptides, and truly individualized dosing. If you’ve been confused about GLP-1s, worried about muscle loss, curious about growth hormone peptides, or wondering what “longevity dosing” even means… this episode is your new favorite.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What “longevity dosing” means for GLP-1s
• How to avoid muscle loss on semaglutide or tirzepatide
• Why nausea, fatigue, or zero appetite means your dose is too high
• How GH peptides (CJC-1295, ipamorelin, tesamorelin) actually work
• Benefits for perimenopause: sleep, recovery, body composition
• Why under-eating + GLP-1s = thyroid and cortisol chaos
• Peptide stacks for metabolic health and aging well
• Labs that matter: fasting insulin, IGF-1, thyroid panel, CRP
• When to pause or adjust peptides
• Foundations before peptides: protein, lifting, steps, sleep
