You have a wedding, a vacation, a babymoon, a reunion, or a big shoot in about two months, and you want to walk in glowing. In this episode I give you my full 8 week glow up protocol, the same one I build for my one on one clients, and it is all from the inside out.
Glow is not a product you buy. It is the body you build. So before we talk peptides and serums, I explain what glow actually is on a physiological level, then I hand you the exact protocol.
If you want me to build this protocol with you, work with me one on one for peptides, hormones, longevity, and a full lab review.
What we talk about
I break down collagen and why it is your scaffolding, glycation and how sugar caramelizes that collagen, what really drives puffiness and bloat, the gut skin axis, circulation and lymph, and how your hormones set your body composition. Then I give you the labs to run, my three pillars (nutrition, lifestyle, supplements), and the beauty peptides I reach for.
