How Regenerative Medicine Uses Peptides and GLP-1s to Support Women’s Hormones with Dr. Andrea Colon

About this video

Woodward interviews naturopathic doctor Andrea Colón about her integrative approach to treating midlife women using hormone replacement therapy, peptides, and functional medicine. Colón describes her emphasis on foundational health—testing hormone levels, inflammation markers, metabolic function, and gut health—before introducing peptides as optimization tools. She shares her clinical observations with GLP-1 peptides, growth hormone secretagogues, BPC-157, and other compounds, stressing individualized treatment, proper dosing, and lifestyle modification alongside peptide use.

Key takeaways

• Colón argues that peptides should be used as tools for optimization only after foundational health issues (hormones, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health) are addressed through testing and lifestyle changes.
• Colón reports clinical observations suggesting GLP-1 peptides may support weight loss, reduce inflammation, and curb cravings when combined with strength training and proper nutrition, though she notes individual response varies widely.
• Colón warns against purchasing research peptides online without medical supervision, citing risks of improper dosing, contamination, and lack of individualized monitoring, and emphasizes the importance of certificates of analysis and professional oversight.
