39 Are Peptides Good for You? Understanding Peptides for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health

Are peptides the key to unlocking better health, or is the hype overshadowing the risks? 

With peptide supplements flooding the health space—promising everything from fat loss to better metabolism—it’s time to separate fact from fiction.

In this episode, Britt and Erica dive into the hot (and sometimes controversial) topic of peptides for weight loss and metabolic health. Are these powerful compounds a tool for transformation, or are we overlooking deeper health issues in favor of an easy solution?

Inside this episode, they’re breaking down:

  • Are peptides good for you? The science, the hype, and what no one’s telling you.
  • The truth about peptide supplements—are they game-changers or just another wellness industry cash grab?
  • Peptides for weight loss: Do they actually work, or are they just a temporary fix with long-term risks?
  • How peptides fit into a holistic approach for how to improve metabolic health.
  • The red flags and risks—when are peptides helpful, and when should you seriously reconsider using them?

This episode isn’t about fear-mongering or blind hype—it’s about giving you the real information so you can make empowered choices for your body.

Welcome to the Womb Women Podcast, where we bridge the gap between the sacred and the scientific.

Hosted by Brittany Estrada, a nurse practitioner and womb healer, and Erica Boland, a chiropractor and midwife, we explore topics ranging from conscious conception to pelvic floor health, and cyclical living.

We have a deep reverence for the study of medical and scientific principles. However, we know in our bones how vital it is to honor the sacred-spiritual aspects of health and healing.

Join us for conversations designed to inspire you to take radical responsibility for your health while honoring the deep wisdom of your body.
