When I started my first Facebook group in 2024, my goal was simple: to educate people about peptides and help them understand how these powerful compounds may support skin health, hair growth, recovery, longevity, and overall wellness. What I did not expect was how challenging that journey would become. My Facebook groups were repeatedly suspended. Each time, I rebuilt from scratch. My most recent group grew to more than 1,500 members before it was permanently disabled. I felt defeated. It felt like my voice—and the community I had worked so hard to build—had been taken away overnight. After a couple of months of deep depression and discouragement, I had a text conversation with one of the vendor owners I deeply respect, Tom Martin (Good Life Peptides). With his perfect blend of breezy optimism and fierce encouragement, he said: “Just start another group.” My immediate response was: “Ugh... so it gets shut down again?” A few days later, after researching alternatives to Facebook, I discovered Skool. That decision changed everything. Since launching this community, I have become a Certified Peptide Consultant and launched my own Shopify store, Peptide Junkies 24, focused on science-based topical peptide skincare and hair products. More importantly, I realized my original mission was still alive: **To educate people and help them make smarter, safer, and more informed decisions about peptides.** You can buy peptides almost anywhere. There are countless websites selling peptides. If your only goal is to find someone willing to take your money, that part is easy. So the real question is: **Why join this community?** Because this community is built on education. I’m not here to pressure anyone into buying overpriced products or chasing the latest “miracle peptide.” I’m here to help you: * Understand what peptides are and how they work * Choose peptides that align with your goals * Learn how to read Certificates of Analysis (CoA’s) * Identify reputable vendors with legitimate third-party testing

For those transferring from the Facebook group and those new members, I have a ton of information to redirect to the Skool app. Please be patient as I will add things daily. Thank you for being a part of my group. 🫶
