What if your body already had the blueprint to heal itself, build muscle, torch fat, and reverse aging—and you just didn't know how to unlock it? In this eye-opening episode, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with Jay Campbell, hormone optimization authority and peptide pioneer, to blow the lid off everything you thought you knew about healing, performance, and longevity. From a sports injury at 29 that tanked his testosterone to becoming one of the world's leading peptide experts, Jay's journey reads like a biohacking thriller. But here's the kicker—this isn't just his story. It's a roadmap for anyone ready to stop accepting "normal" aging and start tapping into their body's incredible regenerative potential. You'll discover why so many Americans are walking around hormonally broken (and how to know if you're one of them), plus the underground peptides that are quietly revolutionizing healing and fat loss. Jay breaks down his "holy grail" peptide combinations that are helping people build muscle, lose stubborn fat, boost energy, and literally turn back the clock on aging. Whether you're exhausted all the time, carrying stubborn weight that won't budge, or just tired of feeling like a shadow of your former self, this episode is packed with cutting-edge science, real solutions, and the kind of insider knowledge that could completely transform how you think about your health.

Have you ever found yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips and thought, “Wait, am I even hungry?” Or maybe you've tried to “be good” all day, only to eat your feelings the moment stress hits? You're not broken—you're human. But understanding why we reach for food when we're not physically hungry is the first step to breaking the cycle. That's why I've invited a special guest—a health psychologist who specializes in emotional eating. We're going to talk about what's really going on behind the scenes when food becomes comfort, distraction, or reward... and how to gently shift those patterns without shame or restriction.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shouldn't be shrouded in outdated fears and misinformation. When I finally started HRT at 57, I realized I'd spent years unnecessarily suffering through sleepless nights, hot flashes, and night sweats—chalked up to “normal aging”—when effective treatments already existed.My journey began after a hysterectomy, when a nurse practitioner discovered my testosterone level was critically low (11 ng/dl, with a normal range of 13–87). That led to my first experience with vaginal estrogen and topical testosterone. But over time, I learned I needed a more comprehensive approach—including systemic estrogen and progesterone—to truly feel like myself again.This episode also breaks down the recent FDA meeting that addressed two major barriers to women's hormone health:The outdated black box warning on vaginal estrogenThe ongoing lack of FDA-approved testosterone options for womenThese regulatory hurdles continue to block access to treatments that dramatically improve quality of life for midlife women.Whether you're working with your OB-GYN or exploring options through platforms like MyAlloy, MidiHealth, HerMD, or Parlor Games—support exists. But you must advocate for yourself. No woman should suffer in silence or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of her former self.Share this episode with someone who thinks they're “just getting older” and doesn't realize how good they could actually feel.Some Online Women's Health Resources:Allara Health, Midi Health, Alloy Women's Health, Evernow, Winona, HerMD, Femgevity, Maven ClinicThis episode is not intended to be medical advice. I'm sharing my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy in hopes of starting a conversation and helping other women feel less alone. I realize HRT is not the right fit for everyone._________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

Today I want to give you a behind-the-scenes peek at what a FASTer Way day actually looks like.

What would you attempt if you stopped letting age define your limits?

When life knocks the wind out of you, how do you find your way back to yourself?In this episode of Asking for a Friend, we sit down with Cristina Simmons—a mother, occupational therapist, Faster Way coach, and now author of Eat Your Feelings. Her journey reads like a survival manual for the modern woman: deep grief, childhood trauma, infidelity, chronic stress, raising adopted twins with prenatal drug exposure, and navigating the complexities of raising a child with autism.But Cristina didn't just survive—she rebuilt. Piece by piece.After years of numbing pain with food, ignoring the signals from her body, and losing her sense of self, Cristina hit a breaking point. What followed was a radical shift toward healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She discovered the transformative power of functional fitness, nervous system regulation, and true community support.This episode is a lifeline for women stuck in survival mode—especially in midlife, when the emotional backlog can no longer be ignored. Cristina offers practical tools rooted in her EAT method (Educate, Accept, Transform) to help you move through grief, overwhelm, and identity loss with compassion and clarity.If you've ever wondered, “Is this all there is?” or felt like you're disappearing under the weight of caregiving, trauma, or unmet expectations, Cristina's story will meet you where you are—and light the way forward.

We're clearing the confusion (and calling out the clickbait) in this can't-miss conversation with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple—exercise physiologist, women's health researcher, and strength science powerhouse. Dr. Lauren joins CEO Amanda Tress to set the record straight on some of the most viral (and misleading) fitness advice floating around social media right now—like whether fasted workouts are “dangerous” for midlife women, if cycle syncing your training actually works, viral cortisol claims, and whether lifting super heavy is the only way to build muscle after 40. If you've ever felt confused by conflicting fitness advice on social media, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start lifting. Dr. Lauren delivers research-backed clarity (with a side of real talk) that'll leave you feeling confident, capable, and ready to crush your goals.
