Our good friend Alejandra Sol Garcia is joining an expert panel this evening for a big conversation on the future of peptides — and it would be amazing if we could all show up and support her. 🧬 Wednesday PEP TALK 📅 12/10 ⏰ 5:30 PM PST 🎙 Topic: The Future of Peptides — featuring an expert panel 🔐 Zoom (secured):https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83900021985 When you join, drop in the chat that you’re there to support Alejandra — let’s show her some love and represent the community strong. And, give a big shoutout to our crew over at Skool for helping to keep us connected and coordinate these opportunities to participate in the industry:👉 https://www.skool.com/the-peptide-daily-brief Please set a reminder and share this invite with a few others to help boost the crowd. Thanks, everyone! ⏰🔥

🥃 THE LEAST DAMAGING HOLIDAY DRINKS These aren’t “healthy.” They’re just the ones your hormones tolerate without staging a coup. ✔️ Clear Spirits (Vodka, Tequila, Gin) - Lowest histamine load - Lowest sugar - Minimal aromatase stimulation→ Smallest estrogen spike, smallest testosterone drop. ✔️ Brut Champagne / Dry Prosecco - Low sugar = smaller insulin surge− Higher histamine→ Decent option if you’re not histamine-sensitive. 🍷 THE DRINK THAT RAISES ESTROGEN THE FASTEST 🚫 WINE (Red, white, rosé — the whole category) Mechanisms you’ve already seen in our recent posts: • Alcohol increases aromatase → estrogen bumps • Wine specifically has compounds that amplify this • Liver gets bogged down → estrogen detox slows• High histamine → inflammation + PMS flare • Gut permeability increases → hormonal chaos next day This is why women 35–55 feel puffy, moody, wired-but-tired, and breast-tender within HOURS of drinking wine. 🍸 THE HOLIDAY HORMONE VILLAINS • Sugar cocktails • Eggnog with liquor • Cream-based cocktails • Mulled wine with added sugar These spike insulin → raise cortisol → suppress progesterone → destabilize sleep + mood. ✨ IF YOU’RE GOING TO DRINK… • Protein BEFORE alcohol • Alternate with electrolytes • Stop drinking 3 hours before bed • Magnesium glycinate at night • 20-minute walk the next morning This keeps your glucose curve flat, your cortisol predictable, and your estrogen detox pathways open for business. 🎁 FREE MINI-COURSE: HOLIDAY WINE AND DINE GUIDE I’m dropping a free, short course this week on how to navigate: 🔥 Alcohol 🔥 Holiday foods 🔥 Sleep 🔥 Bloating 🔥 Estrogen swings 🔥 Perimenopause flare triggers You’ll learn how to eat, drink, celebrate, and recover without feeling like your hormones are in witness protection until January.

Ever notice people feel “off” after starting a statin? Brain fog. Fatigue. Muscle pain. The classic “I feel older than I actually am.” There’s a real biochemical reason—and it starts in the mitochondria. 🔬 The Science : Statins block an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. That same enzyme is responsible for making: ✔️ Cholesterol (the part we’re trying to lower) AND ✔️ CoQ10, your cell’s energy-producing spark plug So when you lower cholesterol…you also lower the one molecule your cells rely on to produce ATP. Less CoQ10 → less ATP → your brain + muscles lose power. 🧬 What Low CoQ10 Actually Feels Like 🧠 Brain fog ⚡Fatigue 🦵 Muscle aches 💤 Exercise intolerance 💭 “I just don’t feel like myself.” Labs won’t show this. Your quality of life will. ✨ Nerdy Mechanism of Action : Statins → block HMG-CoA pathway → ↓ CoQ10 → ↓ mitochondrial ATP → symptoms. You don’t see this in a blood test You feel it in your day-to-day function. Check out our Mitochondria course in the Classroom. It's fun and Free and full of info to help you build a healthy lifestyle!
