Announcer:

Welcome to the Sex Reimagined Podcast, where sex is shame-free and pleasure forward. Let's get into the show.

Leah:

Okay. The amazing world of peptides, it is taking the world by storm. Dr. Willow, break it down for us.

Willow:

Here we go. First and foremost, I would like to put a disclaimer out that this episode is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition nor replace personalized advice from your licensed healthcare provider.

Leah:

Very good.

Willow:

you very much. Now that said, let's talk about, you know, how, let's start with like, you know, our desire, our libido, everything changes as we go through different life stages, right? There's all kinds of things that can, that can take our. Libido down. And when we start talking about peptides, we're talking about metabolism and inflammation quite a lot. Those are two big themes that are talked about in the peptide world and metabolism. When I think about that word, I think about how well am I metabolizing my food, um, the supplements I'm taking, how well am I metabolizing, uh, my workload? How well am I digesting and assimilating everything that's coming at me in life, including my emotions and the way that I feel about relationships in my life? So metabolism is really all about how we digest, how we assimilate our sleep, our food, our supplements, everything that's going on in our life, including stress. How well are we handling or digesting our stress? And we really live in this highly. Inflamed worlds, this highly inflamed culture, right? And so it can be overwhelming. How, how are we digesting? And many of us aren't. Many of us have, um, what's called dysbiosis, which is where our guts actually are, not um, functioning optimally because of the environment that we're swimming in and all of the, um, you know, sterilization that our world has gone through as a whole. And so peptides are actually endogenous meaning that they are made inside of your body. They're made inside of your gut. Um, however, because again, our systems and our, especially our microbiome and our gut is so deficient, we're not making enough of those peptides as we go through these different life stages, such as hormonal shifts during andropause and menopause. Um, stress loss of loved ones, um, you know, imbalances within our relationships and all kinds of other things. Financial stress, I mean, the gamut is, is vast and wide.

Leah:

Yeah. I mean, think about all the times in your life where you feel like your vitality is just lagging. Like you don't feel bright and shiny. You don't feel like you're glowing, you don't feel attractive. You don't, you don't feel desirable. You're in the slog. You're going through the motions. You go to work, you come home, you eat dinner, you watch tv, you go to bed. And like that ends up being the weekday. And so many of us want more from life than that. And I feel like part of what this episode, um, is really gonna break down for you is how to increase your vitality so that you can feel more, so you can have more sensation in your body. So you feel like you've got that inside glow, that inside light, that magnetizes adventure into your life, sex into your life, beautiful relationships, heartfelt moments, like all of these things you don't think gut health would equal

Willow:

Sexy time,

Leah:

Yeah. Um,

Willow:

does.

Leah:

for many of us, it's, it's hard to bridge that gap, but We now know that health isn't just one part of our body. It is lifestyle, and so we're wanting to give you more and more clues into how to have a more holistic life so that your sex life is something you have well into your old age. You've gotta be asking yourself, when did my parents stop having sex? How old was my dad when he stopped having erections? I mean, you may not wanna know that, but the truth is, you should probably know that because it

Willow:

That's some epigenetic information right there.

Leah:

I know, right? Like when did your mom just say, I'm done?

Willow:

I am done. Yeah.

Leah:

it in her fifties when she's going through menopause? Did she stop having sex by her sixties? Is that what you want for yourself? So I think these are actually really valid questions to bring to a sex podcast, even though. We're starting with gut health.

Willow:

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And you know, and so here's what I wanna say a about peptides is, um, there are actually, so there basically, I like to think of them as like these little jumper cables for your system, right? So we get taken down, our metabolism gets. Taken down or libido gets taken down by all these different illnesses, stresses, mold, toxicity, hormonal changes, everything in life, right? And so we start to just not have the resource and the energy within our systems to have sexy time, to have libido. Um, and so a peptide basically is a short chain of amino acids. And what is an amino acid? Acid. It is the protein. It is a building block for the, the proteins in your body, which is how your DNA, uh, replicates itself, right? So it's, it's like the source of all life is amino acids. And, um, you know, many of us are not eating enough protein in our diet to even get the amount of amino acid support that our body needs to make. And then our guts aren't doing the job. So peptides when taking them exogenously meaning coming from outside the body, especially when taking them in an injectable format, they actually get to bypass the gut. So then they're going into your body and they're working like jumper cables. Because you've got these little receptor sites. I like to think of them as like, you know, little Pac Mans sitting on your cell wall, and these little receptor sites are like, I'm hungry. I need these amino acids. And so these chains of amino acids called peptides, sometimes called molecules, they go into these receptor sites and then the cell is like satiated. The cell is like. Ah, I got the PT 1 41 I needed. Now I feel like getting frisky, you know, so it's, it's really quite, um, quite a phenomenal time to be in the peptide space and to be seeing so many radical health changes in people. I personally feel like what this movement is and what it's doing is it's giving. People, their energy, their life, their um, capacity to think back. It is really, really supporting people who are going through brain fog. I mean, if we can't think, if we don't have energy, we cannot do the work we need to do in the world to help heal the culture the planet, you know? And so it's just been great to see, um, you know. Big communities of people just jumping on board and getting their personal systems rebalanced, like lowering the inflammation levels all throughout their body and having their metabolic function restored so that they can go back out into the world and offer their gifts.

Leah:

You know, I think for those people who are new to peptides or feel hesitant about peptides, you've probably already had a peptide. If you've ever had collagen powder in your tea or coffee, that's a peptide.

Willow:

and you know, there's, there's different ways that, that you can in. Ingest them, you can ingest them orally. One of the most popular peptides on the market is for weight loss. It's the GLP one and, you know, Ozempic and these other erno, these bigger, um, pharma company and brand names have really popularized the GLP ones for weight loss. What the problem seems to be is, um, you know, they are resetting people's metabolic function, but they're overdosing those little receptor sites on the cells are getting overwhelmed with too much. So dosage is really, really crucial. And there's a whole, you know, movement around microdosing GLP ones, which I've definitely played with myself, and it has made a massive difference for me because I'm not somebody who had any weight to lose. Um, but, but what I had to lose was bloating and inflammation. And I can't tell you how much better my digestive system is functioning now that all of that inflammation is gone. Um, and there was no. Diet or anything, or any other way that I could have gotten to that lower level of inflammation that is now allowing me to heal, you know, the, the seat of hormonal, uh, balance, which is your gut in such a deep way.

Leah:

Yeah, I mean, for someone who's watched you over the years struggle with, like, if I eat this, is it gonna hurt my body? If I eat this, is it gonna create, um, all these complications to your digestion? Uh. And so it was like you were on one restrictive thing to another restrictive thing, to another restrictive thing, all because of how much discomfort you felt due to inflammation in your gut. And so to be able to watch this inflammation disappear, watch this bloating, disappear, and then watching the freedom to eat the variety of beautiful foods available to you, I mean, the fact that you never wanted to eat cauliflower for crying out loud.

Willow:

I still don't eat cauliflower,

Leah:

Okay, well

Willow:

but I might try it soon.

Leah:

you should test it. It's a delicious vegetable.

Willow:

I know totally. Well, I mean, you, we just traveled Greece and Portugal and you saw how like Culinarily inspired I was, you know, based on being able to digest so much more. So that's been just huge for me personally. I think I wanna dive right into the, the sexual health peptides because, um, you know, there's different

Leah:

real quick before you start talking, targeting that, because I actually do think that the weight loss peptides, um, are relevant to sexual health

Willow:

Oh, for sure.

Leah:

when you feel bloated, when you've got inflammation, when you feel overweight, when you feel sluggish, you don't feel very desirable. You are not quick to drop your clothes and and, and get it on. You feel uncomfortable. You don't feel like you can. You're very flexible to get into different lovemaking positions. I mean, there's some actual real things that I don't think people, I think they do think about it, but they don't bridge it to the potential of what peptides can do. Not that we're here just trying to sell you on peptides. that's not the agenda of this episode. It's to bridge why it's important for your sexuality. So now tell us a little bit more about the peptides that are directed to sex or libido or hormones, whatever.

Willow:

Yeah, so, so the, well GLP ones are one of the, you know, most, um, that one that is u being used for weight loss. Another thing, uh, what brought up for me what you just said is like, um, and not only will it help to heal the, like, take the inflammation down so that your gut can heal, that's also going to heal any, um, imbalances in the microbiota of your mouth. Of your vagina, of your skin. I mean, we are made up of like billions of microbiome, you know, million, millions of microbiota. And, um, just like a, a fraction of that is, is cellular makeup. So it's just fascinating to like kind of see from a, a different perspective. So yeah, GLP ones definitely, not only are they gonna make you, you know, leaner and lighter and feel sexier in your body, but they're also going to help you heal at that deeper like microbial level, which is pretty exciting in my view. Um.

Leah:

know what's been interesting for me that I've noticed with, um, the weight loss peptides is how much it decreases your desire for sugar.

Willow:

Yes.

Leah:

I bet I've been off, them for a little while and like my sweet tooth came roaring back. Now it's like, yeah, I like a little something sweet, but it's really just to clear my palate. I don't need to. Eat a lot. I want like one or two bites of ice cream. I want a little bit of fruit. I'm not like gorging myself on it. It's so interesting to be back on and notice the brain talk. You know, the food talk that goes on and what your desire for certain things are. And a lot of people are seeing progress with addiction. So like

Willow:

Huge. Huge.

Leah:

like your desire for state changes kind of quiets a

Willow:

Yeah, absolutely. You know, I've been working with amino acid therapies for decades now, and it was how I, you know, originally got off sugar and spent years off of sugar. Um, how I got out of depression and spent years, you know, as the happiest person I knew. And it was, it was supplemental amino acids like, um, glutamine. You know, all these, um, like tyrosine and all of these different peptides that you can just get like on the shelves at the grocery store. But, but with the peptide therapies, I've been able to see such a, um, deeper and more, um, lasting result. So I think that's a, that's a huge piece is just cutting out those sugar cravings. they use the word food noise quite a lot in the peptide space, and it's, it's also, it's not just sugar cravings, but it's like, oh, I need to eat something. I need to fill myself up with something more. It gives you an opportunity to fill yourself up with yourself. For me, it's such a spiritual thing, you know? Um, so, and then there's all these other layers that we need to be taking care of as well. Like, um, you know, getting our, our vitamins and our minerals, essential fatty acids, weight training, um, tons of protein. All of these things are essential. We don't just inject ourselves like we're do, we're support, we're supporting, and we're doing it all as a whole. We've gotta start thinking about ourselves as an ecosystem. Like my singles solitary body as an ecosystem. So it's not just about fixing the gut, it's about all of it. You know, it's not just about fixing the libido if the libido is broken, it's about all of it. So, you know, start to think of yourself as a, like a rainforest. Before we get into the sexual health peptides that actually boost your libido. I, I would say, you know, hormones is something that, a lot of people are getting on as well. A hormone replacement therapy, whether it's. bioidentical or synthetic and a lot of women going through per and post menopause are seeing like, wow, it's brought my libido back, it's brought my energy back. I no longer have all the joint pain and brain fog that was taking me down. And so, what I am learning right now is that peptides can actually support and make any hormone replacement therapy that you're taking work 10 times better. So potentially you might not need as much. So again, we're always looking for our divine right dose with peptides and hormones because it's all about putting puzzle pieces together where the body is no longer providing that part of the puzzle. Sometimes the question comes through, like, well, are peptides and hormones the same thing? You know? And, and, and sometimes they are because a hormone is basically a signaling molecule as is a peptide. However, hormones are produced by the glands, so there are chemical messengers that coordinate, complex processes across the different parts of the body, different glands, different organ systems, and they really support similar things that peptides support, like metabolism, reproduction, mood growth. Peptides are not coming from the glands. They are chains of amino acids often coming from the gut. and different places in the bodies. So peptides are these short chains of amino acids, and these sometimes also act the same as hormones do. So, um, peptides are sometimes, you know, acting the same way as a hormone, but not always. So it's, it varies and You know, the, the PT 1 41, which is the most popular peptide for libido, is actually working on your brain. This one has, you know, these have been really popularized by some of the bigger podcasts out there, like Joe Rogan. I know Jennifer Aniston. Some other celebrities out there are really, talking more openly about what they've seen shift inside of their own bodies and this particular one is working on the brain, whereas what we see see, like if a man is suffering from Ed and he goes to Cialis or he goes to, um,

Leah:

Viagra.

Willow:

Or it goes to Viagra. That is basically, um, supporting more blood flow to his genitals, not working on, the places in the brain that like the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland that really, support your sense of desire and drive. So what I love about this one is it's working on the brain, getting you more intrigued, more. Into a higher, desire state, but it's also gonna help your sensation, uh, be bolstered up and your sense of arousal. So Leah and I are always teaching people about the arousal scale and how, you know, for, for a lot of men, they'll go from a a zero. Leo, why don't you talk about the

Leah:

Sure. A brief sort of explanation of the arousal scale is think, uh, of one to 10. One being, eh, I kind of feel horny, kind of interested. 10 being I've ejaculated if, if we're, or I've had a clitoral orgasm. And, uh, you know, a lot of guys, a normal is to go from a five, a six or a seven and then jump to 10. So it's like your launchpad is like, Ooh, I'm at a seven, then suddenly I'm at a 10. For guys with little or no control, they're going from like a one and a half or a two and jumping to 10. And then you've got guys who have a hard time reaching climax altogether. They're hovering at like a four and feeling pretty frustrated and they don't get to 10. And basically what that means is everyone's missing eight and nine. And eight and nine is where like the big time ecstasy is. It's where those transcendent experiences occur. So

Willow:

So that, yeah, so that's what's so exciting about the PT 1 41, is it actually supports your brain to hold those higher levels of arousal. It actually supports your whole body and your whole system to be able to stretch those higher levels of arousal out longer. And it's been really cool to watch, um, people in my communities express, like, wow, oh my God, I went from having zero libido to having the best orgasms of my life. And just from taking the peptide, they're not studying Tantra, they're not really doing, you know,

Leah:

Well, even the people that are, I mean, I don't think Charles will, will mind me saying this is, he's been, uh, doing PT 41 for a while now and he loves it. He goes, I feel like I've got a boner from my teenage years. I'm driving down the street and I get an erection for no reason at all. It's a part of himself that he has missed and he knows how to do all the cultivation things, but he's almost 80 years old. He just turned 78. So to be able to, and he is got diabetes, he's got all sorts of reasons to have somewhat of a lagging libido. All of his Tantra work for the last 50 years has supported him in being someone who's making love in his older, older age. But this PT 41 is like, holy shit, I have more volunteer erections. My erections are harder. And that's just a thrill. That's very exciting for someone who, who sexuality has been so important. And for a lot of men, the fear of losing a connection to that is devastating. When those erections start to slow down and they may be able to get one, but they can't maintain one. So to have your desire and your oomph come back, man, it's, it's filled with joy again.

Willow:

Yeah, it's basically like flipping the switch on your desire. Um, it's so much more than just pumping more blood flow to the genitals and it's,

Leah:

Though that may be very important, like having a

Willow:

be. Yeah,

Leah:

is, is the two going together? You may, if you're, if you're really having problems with erections, you may still need your penis pump or your cockring and PT 41.

Willow:

there are products out there that, that combine a little bit of Cialis with the PT 1 41 as well. And so, you know, that could be the, the ticket for you. So it's just exciting. There have been some clinical studies. one of the things about peptides is there have, they haven't been studied for a long time, although insulin is one of the oldest peptides that has been used for, hundreds of years now and, and, or over a hundred years at least. And, um, it's really, uh, you know, it works really well. It does the trick, it does the job. And so they're, but they're starting to do more studies, I imagine, in the field of, of these studies. It's like a, um, it's a very exciting field to be in.

Leah:

Well, I do think it's, it's fair to mention that the people who have tried it and, have not liked it, it's because of it can cause a feeling of being a little nauseous when your stomach feels a little upset. I, I haven't heard of many people throwing up on it, but when your stomach feels a little upset, it's hard to feel sexy. I have tried it as a woman a couple of times. One time it was really fun and really sexy. Another time it was just kind of a little bit of an upset tummy, kind of felt it like a little in my tummy, a little bit in the back of my throat where it was like, Ugh. Like I wanna feel sexy, but really I just wanna lay down and it's like I need someone else to try to do something to distract me from this weird sensation in my body. It wasn't a super strong sensation, but it was like a low level distraction. So yeah, I,

Willow:

was the PT 1 41

Leah:

Yeah.

Willow:

And it was the same dose that you took both times.

Leah:

yeah. And I would try it again. And probably again, because I do think you have to find that sort of, that dose that is, that is right too little don't feel much. I might wanna try a little bit more. Sometimes you can feel nauseous with too little. So I think it's definitely, I think that's the thing that's gonna be the most frustrating for people, honestly, is we don't wanna be on a experimental rollercoaster with these things. We want to be given it straight. Just tell me what's going to be safe and I, and, and effective, and I just wanna do that. Unfortunately, peptides aren't that straightforward quite yet.

Willow:

Well, one thing that I always tell people is low start, low and slow. You know, like if you are given a, dosage, like if you're prescribed dosage is let's say, you know, 50 units. Start with 25, you know, start with half of what you're prescribed because when you are doing injectables, through the company that I work with, you get to choose how much you put into that syringe. Right. It's up to you. Which is really,

Leah:

Not all of them are like that.

Willow:

not all of'em are like that. Exactly. Yeah. So, but take, you know, take matters into your, you are your own best doctor. I really believe that. And that's all about listening to your body and really, um.

Leah:

from others. You know, like, don't listen to this episode for the first time and then go headlong into peptides. Talk to other people. Get advice.

Willow:

Come Talk to me,

Leah:

Call

Willow:

talk to me.'cause I have a lot of ex experience and information at this point. the studies that are being done though, that, you know, they took 1200 per premenopausal women. So, so not in Perry yet before

Leah:

having regular periods.

Willow:

yeah, probably like, you know. 35 to 45 and about half of those women taking PT 1 41 reported super, real improvement in their desire compared with about one in five on the placebo. And, more than half reported greater satisfaction compared to about a quarter who were on the. The placebo. So that means that we're not just talking about theory, we're actually seeing real changes in women's lives. And again, simply doing hormone replacement therapy could also, you know, make these changes in your body. However, doing the peptides in, in, uh, adjunct with those hormones is going to just give those extra jumper cables to your body in such a powerful way.

Leah:

Now staying with PT 41, it, this isn't something that you would do just once a week and then it stays in your bloodstream. You do PT 41. You know before you are going to be sexual and it can last in your system from, you know. A few hours to a few more hours than that. It's not something that, like you take as a supplement. it's not something you necessarily take every day. It's more of a situational peptide. whereas like the weight loss peptides, you take it once a week on the same day every week. your body does build a tolerance. So each peptide probably has different, instructions on how to make use of it.

Willow:

Yeah. They all definitely come with, um,

Leah:

And there's lots of experimental stuff. Like I recently was looking up at my peptide company. I've got two that I keep an eye on and you know, I'm reading like they've got a whole list of the metabolic peptides and some of them seem a little sketchy, like the research is too new. So I am like to stay, you know, the ones that are most popular.

Willow:

Yeah, I mean, I personally like to work with the ones that are FDA approved and not in the research grade category. just to be safe, there's gonna be contraindication almost for all peptides when it comes to pregnancy. just'cause there's not enough research and you wanna tread on the side of caution. And also, with cancer, however, there is one that is really, actually gonna be great for cancer. So I, I'm not gonna touch that topic today at all, but, um, you

Leah:

some hope out there.

Willow:

So many peptides out there, and it's, just been really powerful to watch people, you know, change the way that they are functioning in the world. So there's a couple of other, peptides that I wanna mention that are for sexual health and wellness. These are more for reproductive health and sexual maturation. So rein, um, that one will, you know, really support, uh, reproductive health in such powerful way. So for those who are trying to get pregnant, you

Leah:

For both men and women.

Willow:

Both men and women. And then Kisspeptin, is, does a very similar thing to rein, but it also stimulates libido on

Leah:

Mm.

Willow:

on top of the reproductive health, so

Leah:

Nice.

Willow:

that, that could be useful for some of you out there. oxytocin is a hormone, but also comes in this, you know, peptide form. And oxytocin, as we know, is the love hormone. It's. The bonding hormone. It, it reduces stress, it helps to manage pain, it improves mood and there's so much that you can do to bring natural oxytocin alive in your own body. but if you feel like you need a boost and you need some jumper cables, then you can get it in this injectable format as well.

Leah:

Yeah, I've been curious about that one. it does feel like there's so many easy ways to get oxytocin hits. It seems sort of, you know, and when I've looked at it in a catalog, I'm like, huh, why? Why would someone need that when it's pretty easy to, but maybe for some people it's not. You know,

Willow:

well, that's

Leah:

may not be easy for

Willow:

Yeah, that's it.

Leah:

may not be easy for everybody.

Willow:

Exactly. Yeah. We've got all the Tantric tricks to stimulate our own natural oxytocin, but many people, um, are not utilizing those tricks. Um.

Leah:

from depression maybe for a long time.

Willow:

Exactly. I mean, depression is one of the, one of the things that I hear about a lot when I am doing my, peptide webinars for my community is like, we've got a bunch of different practitioners on there speaking and, and so many of them are like, man, I was, I felt like I needed to get on antidepressants. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but for somebody who's never had to do that before in life, it can feel, You know, it can feel like a lot, it can feel scary. And so they've been able to avoid that with peptides. I've seen people be, be able to avoid surgeries, heal from surgeries, correct autoimmune issues, heal gut while lining release. crazy nerve pain and joint pain. I myself had nerve pain in my left neck for about. Seven months and nothing was doing anything about it, chiropractic and acupuncture, nothing was touching it. But the, um, the BPC 1 57 TB 500 stack, which means two peptides together in one medication that got rid of my pain in seven days. After seven months of being in severe pain. So it was pretty radical. I was really excited about that. there's peptides that will, address, you know, biofilms in your gut wall lining, which is. One of the huge things that keeps you from healing your gut. there's peptides for skin repair and skin tightening. So Leah mentioned earlier about, you know, putting collagen peptides

Leah:

Yeah. Peptides are so many beauty products these days. Peptide serums for the face of the wazoo.

Willow:

mm-hmm.

Leah:

Peptide,

Willow:

It totally. And the, it's definitely a buzzword. the G-H-K-C-U when taking that, as an injectable. It's actually gonna support the endogenous collagen peptides that are your body's already making and make whatever you're taking orally and exogenously function 10 times better.

Leah:

Hmm. That's good to know. What's that one called?

Willow:

It's called GHK Copper. and it, you know, it will help with elastin, extracellular matrix, which is the skin surface. So really helps with tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles and also, age spots, sun spots, all that

Leah:

Mm. I'll be ordering that.

Willow:

Disappear. Yeah. That another, we did a whole episode on the importance of sleep for libido and, there's one called Delta Sleep inducing Peptide, DSIP and that supports the HPA axis, which is the two, glands in your brain, the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and your adrenal glands down in your low back. So the HPA access can get really wiped out when we are in, a hyper you know, cortisol flushing all the time. State where we're stressed and we're in that fight or flight state all the time, that's definitely gonna take out your sleep and your libido and your mood. Um, so D CIP can be really, really supportive for restoring that HPA access so you can get good sleep. There's so many more peptides and we could go on and on. You know, there's some to help you build lean muscle, to clear the, the fat around your organ system so that your organ systems can function

Leah:

Hmm, what's the name of that one?

Willow:

Well, there's two. There's Tessa Morelin, and Ipa Morelin. Sometimes those. are stacked together. there's also Sa morelin so all of those ones are really great for energy and performance.

Leah:

Can you take too many different peptides at once? Like some of, so many of these sound so great. I'm

Willow:

Yeah. You're like, Hit me with them. All

Leah:

it. Yeah. Like why wouldn't I wanna take 10 of these?

Willow:

right.

Leah:

Um, I'm

Willow:

I. That's a good question. And you know, I think, I think like anything you want to, monitor your yourself and go low and slow to begin with. If you feel like, okay, I'm doing good on a low dose of GLP one, let me add some lin so that the weight training that I'm doing works. 10 times better and I can actually see my muscles more. Then you add that and then you're like, well, I'd like a little skin tightening too, so let me get the GHK copper. I feel like for me personally, I don't really like to go more than. Three, at a time. And, and I've gotten to a point now where I will stack them all in the same syringe. So instead of doing multiple pokes into my little belly, belly skin every day, you know, I will do, I'll put two, like I'll put a little bit of GLP one and BPE 1 57 in the same syringe, and that's fine. I have found for myself, so everyone that I am kind of coaching through the peptide journey, I am always, you know, having them go low and slow, little by little test things out on yourself because they are injections, you know, so they're, they're going in. Once they're in, they're in, however. The good thing about peptides is they have a short shelf life, so they're not staying in there and lasting for a long, long time. That's why some of them we need to take every three days or once a week, you know, because they have a short shelf life. From what I gather and from what I've researched, which has been quite a lot of study at this point, they are safe, totally safe, and they really just act like jumper cables on your system just because, you know, we just need a leg up sometimes in this world it's, it's a bit overwhelming and it's highly inflammatory. So we just need a little boost in order to get ourselves going. They are meant to be pulsed. They are not meant to be on long-term, constantly, permanently. unlike hormone replacement therapy, you are meant to take breaks and get off of them, and you don't have to come back to them at all. Like you might take two rounds of the GHK copper and then you're done and you never do it again. And that would be fine. Your system wouldn't have any adverse reactions to that.

Leah:

Okay, so, you know, normally I would put, you know, these lists into the show notes. I'm not gonna do that. It's too much. And your best bet, honestly, is just to have a consultation with Willow anyways, so that you can get some individual attention. You can, you can ask her your questions, you can tell her where you want support and she can explain all this to you. So how, how do people find you to start this journey?

Willow:

Well, you can go to my website, www.drwillowbrown.com, and there is a little button at the top that says, book a free consult. So.

Leah:

Okay, and I'll put that link in the show notes. I'll also put a link for the episode with Dr. Judson. We talked a little bit about PT 41. He's an, um. Endocrinologist and a men's health expert and doctor, and he's got a bunch of other credentials. You'll hear it all on the episode. so you can get his take on this too. I think that was an informed conversation. And also, I'll put the link for that free kissing training that were offered you at the top of the hour.

Willow:

Yeah. And let us know, you know, what you, what you learned from that kissing training because it's so funny. We were chatting before we pushed record, and I was like, I don't think people know when they're not a good kisser. I don't think people walk around going like, gosh, I wish I was a better kisser because. They just, you don't know what you don't know, right? We're all in the dark with what we're in the dark about. And so I just would be so curious to, to hear in the comments wherever you're watching or listening this podcast, or shoot us an email support@sexreimagine.com if you learn something new and you get a new nugget about Tantric kissing from that training.

Leah:

Cool. Yeah, and please join us. We have a, a free summit coming up on February 11th and February 12th with, 17 different sex experts in the industry who are all gonna teach something really cool to our audience. It's live, but it's also super binge worthy. We have a short replay window if you can't make it with us live. and we'll put a link in the show notes for that as well. We're really excited to offer that to our audience.

Willow:

All right everyone. Much love.

Leah:

Love, love, love.
