Peptide therapy is everywhere right now. It is being talked about for weight loss, inflammation, gut health, skin, sleep, perimenopause, menopause, immune modulation, and even growth hormone support. But with so much information online, it can be hard to know what is real, what is safe, and where to even begin.

In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Tringali, a Functional Medicine Expert and founder of Tringali Vibrant Health with two locations in Palm Beach County. She has spent the past 27 years helping patients optimize their health and has been incorporating peptides into her practice since 2018.

Elizabeth and I talk about why peptide conversations have become so noisy, how she thinks about insulin resistance, and why she wants labs before someone starts. We also discuss peptide safety, BPC 157, GLP options, growth hormone secretagogues, and the role of compounding pharmacies.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- What peptides are and why they are getting so much attention

- Why peptide injections should be approached with proper testing and oversight

- What to ask about blood work, toxin testing, and overall health history

- How to compare oral peptides, troches, sublingual options, and injections

- How peptides may support inflammation, gut health, skin, sleep, and immune modulation

- What women should understand about using peptide for menopause and perimenopause peptides

- Why working with the right provider and the right compounding pharmacies matters

- What to know about BPC 157, gut support, and systemic use

- How to protect muscle and bone when using GLP options

- Why cycling or rotating peptides may matter when results slow down

If you have been curious about peptides but feel overwhelmed by all the opinions online, this episode is a great place to start. Elizabeth makes a complicated topic feel much easier to understand, and she shares what she wishes more people knew before jumping into peptide therapy.

Hit play and let's grow together,
