Peptides: hype or healing? In this episode I sit down with my dear friend & longtime concierge nurse Amber Cameneti (Ageless Blonde) to demystify peptides for complex chronic illness—especially Lyme. We unpack what peptides are (tiny signaling proteins), how they’re being explored for tissue repair, immune modulation, gut support, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health, plus the safety questions everyone asks first.We also talk about our own Lyme, MCAS, & Mold healing journeys, how we met, the future of medicine & beyond. We coverWhat peptides actually do in the body (signaling vs. “supplements that support”)Repair & recovery staples (e.g., BPC-157, TB-500), immune-focused options (e.g., Thymosin Alpha-1), and where GLP-1 meds fit in (what’s similar, what’s different)Sourcing, testing, & medical oversight: how to vet clinics, compounding pharmacies, and red flags to avoidLyme-specific considerations: inflammation, herxing, pacing, and stacking with foundations (sleep, minerals, gentle movement)Dosing philosophies, cycles, and why “lowest effective dose” mattersMyths, risks, and the current state of research—what we know vs. what’s still emergingSO MUCH MORE!!!!Again, for where I get my peptides (& where you can too): elliemd.com/thebalancedblonde (then you get to join my private WhatsApp group!)Peptide course with my 50% off code, BLONDE: https://empowerdacademy.com/certification?am_id=jordan7199→ Subscribe to my Substack for deeper dives into all things peptides, healing, and intuitive living→ Join The Quantum Method for weekly meditations, nervous system tools, and cosmic guidanceMY BRAND NEW SUMMER MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blondeMy Substack: https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com

Today’s solo episode is a juicy one—we’re diving into three topics that have been at the forefront of my life and my DMs lately: postpartum weight loss, the surprising health benefits of nicotine (yes, really), and why discomfort is actually a sign you’re living a full and meaningful life. (Let’s ditch the instagram therapy speak, shall we?) ✨ Postpartum Weight LossI open up about my own postpartum body journey; not just the physical changes but the hormones, energy shifts, sleep deprivation, and the pressure of “bounce back culture.” We talk about why healing, nourishment, and nervous system support matter so much more than chasing an old version of yourself. And, of course, PEPTIDES, duh. ✨ Nicotine for HealingThis one is a little edgy, and I love it. Nicotine is one of the most misunderstood compounds out there. It’s not the nicotine in cigarettes that causes harm—it’s the smoke and toxins. In fact, nicotine itself has some fascinating potential benefits for focus, memory, mood, inflammation, and even metabolism. I share what I’ve been learning, how it ties into my own healing journey, and why intention and delivery method are everything here.✨ The Discomfort of a Full LifeFinally, we talk about the very real discomfort that comes with having everything you once prayed for —kids, career, opportunities, expansion. A full life is beautiful, but it’s also overwhelming. We’re talking about why Instagram therapy speak has sucked the nuance out of life and why boundaries are important, but expanding our container is even more important. This is one of those heart-to-heart, tell-it-like-it-is solo episodes where I let you in behind the scenes of my own process. If you’re navigating postpartum, curious about unconventional healing tools, or simply feeling stretched by the bigness of your own life right now — this one’s for you.Again, for where I get my peptides (& where you can too): elliemd.com/thebalancedblonde (then you get to join my private WhatsApp group!)Peptide course with my 50% off code, BLONDE: https://empowerdacademy.com/certification?am_id=jordan7199→ Subscribe to my Substack for deeper dives

This week we’re diving into the intersection of astrology and pop culture, where the transits in the sky are lining up with the headlines we can’t stop talking about. We’ll explore the current cosmic climate—Pluto’s shifts, eclipse themes, and Leo season energy—and how it’s shaping everything from creativity to collective change.From there, we zoom in on Taylor Swift: her Scorpio rising chart, the astrology behind her latest album announcement, and why her timing always feels so cosmically aligned. We’ll also unpack The Summer I Turned Pretty through an astrological lens, decoding Conrad vs. Jeremiah archetypes (which are you!??!) and the deeper lessons about love, choice, and destiny. We are talking Justin Bieber’s doppelgänger that fooled the world in Vegas!And of course, we can’t ignore “Brain Rot Summer”—the chaotic, overstimulated cultural vibe that’s actually right on cue with Uranus and Neptune transits.If you’re craving a blend of cosmic forecast, cultural analysis, and all things synchronicity, this episode will make you see pop culture in a whole new way.Again, for where I get my peptides (& where you can too): elliemd.com/thebalancedblonde (then you get to join my private WhatsApp group!)→ Subscribe to my Substack for deeper dives into all things peptides, healing, and intuitive living→ Join The Quantum Method for weekly meditations, nervous system tools, and cosmic guidanceMY BRAND NEW SUMMER MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blondeMy Substack: https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com.
