Lindsey Strong joins Brittany to decode how genetics, epigenetics, and key SNPs (think MTHFR, COMT, CYPs, nitric oxide) shape women’s hormones, stress, fertility, and recovery - and when peptides might actually help (or not) if you’re TTC, pregnant, or breastfeeding.

We break down how to read a genetics report without fear, why no one has “perfect genes,” and how to translate SNPs into food, lifestyle, and supplement strategy.

If you’re a woman ready to turn your DNA, hormones, and daily habits into a simple, evidence-informed plan - for steadier energy, better cycles, smarter fertility/pregnancy/breastfeeding choices, smoother perimenopause, and clarity on when (or if) peptides make sense - this episode is for you.

WE TALK ABOUT:

08:00 - Genetics & women’s health basics and why “good/bad genes” is a myth

09:10 - How to read DNA reports; greens, yellows, reds as action guides

15:40 - Why many women’s symptoms are “cellular dysfunction,” not a tidy diagnosis

27:20 - Cortisol wiring: ACE variants + the “golden” COMT genotype nuance

37:10 - Nitric oxide: Circulation, energy, libido; breath-of-fire and beets

41:40 - Choline at midlife, cognition, lipids; prenatal relevance too

47:10 - Envirotoxins, UGT/glucuronidation, calcium-D-glucarate, and sauna vs supplements

50:00 - Peptides 101 + safety nuance for pregnancy & breastfeeding

55:20 - Favorites: GLP-1/“tirzepatide,” MOTS-C, SS-31, Epitalon for receptors/telomeres

59:00 - How to work with a practitioner; testing + peptide education options
