In Part 3 of our Peptides Series, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster wrap up their conversation about some of the peptides and related therapies they’re most excited about.

From hair, skin and nails to cellular energy, mitochondrial function and immune support, this episode explores how different peptides work at the cellular level and where they may fit into a broader approach to health and wellness.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Glow Stack

• “Exercise in a bottle"

• Peptides that may be helpful for people dealing with fatigue and chronic health challenges

• How peptides may support the body's response to infection

• Why cycling peptides matters

• NAD, mitochondrial function and healthy aging

• How peptides and NAD may fit into a larger strategy for optimizing health

This is the final episode in our three-part Peptides Series, so if you haven't listened to Parts 1 and 2, we encourage you to go back and start there. We break down what peptides are, how they work, which ones we use, and why medical guidance is important when considering them.

Peptides are an exciting and developing area of medicine, but they aren't something to approach casually or simply source on your own. Our goal is to help you understand the science, ask better questions and make informed decisions alongside a qualified medical professional.

In Part 2 of our three-part series on peptides, Dr. Michelle Plaster and NP Amber Foster take a deeper dive into some of the specific peptides they commonly discuss and prescribe—and what makes each one different. From growth hormone-related peptides and body composition to muscle building, sleep, recovery, and tissue healing, we break down how different peptides may be used depending on your individual goals. We also talk about peptide combinations, why cycling and lab monitoring matter, and why peptides should be approached as part of a complete health and lifestyle plan, not as a quick fix. You'll also hear some personal experiences from Dr. Plaster and Amber as they discuss the peptides they've seen used in their own lives and with patients.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Growth hormone-related peptides and their role in body composition

• Why peptides may be combined or “stacked”

• Muscle building and maintaining muscle during weight loss

• Sleep, recovery, and overall wellness

• The “Wolverine” stack and how these peptides are used

• Why your specific health goals should determine the approach

And we're not done yet! In Part 3, we'll continue our conversation about peptides and take a closer look at inflammation, energy, longevity, and immunity.

Peptides are everywhere right now—from social media and podcasts to conversations about weight loss, longevity, energy, and overall wellness. But what exactly are peptides, and how do they work in the body? In this episode of Between Two White Coats, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster kick off a three-part series on peptides by breaking down the basics. They explain what peptides are, how they interact with the body, and why they believe they can be a valuable tool in a more root-cause and personalized approach to health and wellness. They also discuss the importance of medical supervision, how to think about FDA approval, the role of reputable compounding pharmacies, why peptides may need to be cycled, and who should—and should not—consider peptide therapy.

If you've been hearing about peptides and wondering whether they're safe, effective, or right for you, this episode is a great place to start!

Listen in as we take a closer look at the science, safety, and potential of peptides—and why they're becoming such an exciting tool in modern health and wellness.
