Today we're talking about something every woman deserves straight talk about—perimenopause and menopause and the many changes that happen as estrogen and progesterone begin to decline. If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Now, most of us have heard about hot flashes, but very few people explain what's actually happening inside our bodies, why it's happening, and what we can do to feel better. And yes, that includes some really interesting therapies like peptides. What is happening? Let's start with the transition itself. Perimenopause is that phase leading up to menopause, which is officially defined as twelve months without a menstrual cycle. It usually starts in your 40s, though some women notice changes earlier. The reason it can feel like a rollercoaster is all about hormones.  Estrogen is our multitasker—keeping our bones strong, our skin glowing, our brains sharp, and even helping with vaginal lubrication. When estrogen dips, it's not surprising that hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings start showing up.  Progesterone, on the other hand, is what I like to call our “chill hormone.” It helps us sleep and keeps our cycles balanced. When progesterone drops, insomnia, irritability, and mood swings can sneak in.  And let's not forget testosterone, which fuels energy, muscle, and libido. As testosterone slowly declines, it's no wonder sex drive can take a hit. When these three hormones are fluctuating or dropping during perimenopause, it can touch nearly every part of the body, making this phase feel intense and, at times, overwhelming. Brain fog Then there's brain fog. You know, that feeling when you walk into a room and can't remember why you're there. Estrogen actually plays a big role in keeping our brain sharp by influencing neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, which manage memory and focus. When estrogen levels fall, those neurotransmitters aren't as efficient, and poor sleep from night sweats can make brain fog even thicker.  What helps? Regular exercise, consistent sleep, omega-3s, and even brain-training games can make a difference. And peptides can play a role here too.  Nootropic peptides like Selank and Semax support neurotransmitter balance, helping with focus, memory, and mental clarity, while also helping the brain manage stress and fatigue. Weight gain Let's talk about one of the biggest frustrations women bring up during perimenopause and menopause—weight gain. You may notice that even if you're eating the same and moving your body the way you always have, the scale starts creeping up. This isn't your imagination. As estrogen levels drop, metabolism slows down, muscle mass tends to decrease, and fat starts redistributing—especially around the belly. On top of that, poor sleep, more stress, and shifting insulin sensitivity can all make it harder to keep weight steady. The good news is there are ways to manage this. Resistance or strength training helps preserve and even rebuild muscle, which keeps your metabolism active. Prioritizing protein with every meal can support that muscle, too. Managing stress through mindfulness, yoga, or simply better boundaries can help with cortisol—the stress hormone that encourages belly fat storage. And paying attention to blood sugar balance, by choosing more whole foods and fewer processed carbs, can really make a difference. For some women, hormone therapy can provide extra support by improving sleep, mood, and metabolism, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight. And now, we also have GLP-1 agonists—like semaglutide—and even newer dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists, such as tirzepatide. These medications work by improving satiety, slowing digestion, balancing blood sugar, and supporting insulin sensitivity, all of which can make weight management during menopause more achievable. They're not magic, but when combined with lifestyle changes, they can be powerful tools to help women feel more in control of their weight and overall health during this stage of life. Hair changes Hair changes are another big one. Estrogen helps keep hair thick, strong, and healthy by promoting follicle growth and prolonging the growth phase. When estrogen drops, hair can start thinning.  At the same time, shifts in androgen levels like testosterone and its potent form, DHT, can trigger hair growth in places we really don't want it, like the chin or upper lip.  Collagen supplements, checking iron and vitamin D levels, stimulating the scalp, or even low-level laser therapy can all support healthier hair.  Peptides like GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, stimulate hair follicles by promoting cell growth, increasing blood supply, and supporting collagen production. Thymosin Beta-4, or TB-500, also helps by reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair, creating a better environment for hair growth. Skin changes As estrogen dips, natural moisture throughout the body also decreases. This can mean dry eyes, crepey or itchy skin, and new sensitivities popping up seemingly out of nowhere.  Support can be as simple as artificial tears, omega-3s to support tear production, gentle fragrance-free moisturizers, or running a humidifier at night.  Peptides like Epitalon reduce oxidative stress, support collagen production, and promote cellular repair, which can improve skin elasticity. BPC-157 helps reduce inflammation and supports healing, making the skin less reactive and more comfortable. Bladder issues And then there are those bladder surprises. Ever sneeze, laugh, or cough and suddenly wonder if you should've packed a spare pair of underwear? Dropping estrogen weakens the pelvic floor and thins the bladder lining, which can make those little “oops” moments more common.  Kegel exercises, pelvic floor physical therapy, vaginal estrogen creams, and avoiding bladder irritants like coffee or alcohol can help.  Peptides like BPC-157 support tissue healing in the bladder and pelvic area, and KPV may help calm irritation in urinary tissues. Mood changes Mood changes are another challenge. Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin can trigger anxiety, irritability, or low mood seemingly overnight.  Things like therapy, mindfulness, regular exercise, and making sure you get enough vitamin D and magnesium can really help.  Peptides give an extra boost too. Selank is a gentle anti-anxiety peptide that won't make you drowsy, DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) helps improve deep sleep, naturally stabilizing mood, and Semax works on dopamine pathways to lift energy, focus, and motivation when you need it most. Sex drive Finally, let's talk about something we don't discuss enough: libido. Vaginal dryness, fatigue, and shifting hormones can all make desire dip, and this is very much physiological, not just in your head.  Lubricants, vaginal moisturizers, hormone replacement therapy, and open communication with your partner can all help.  Peptides like PT-141 (bremelanotide), work on melanocortin receptors in the brain to boost sexual desire. It's an on-demand injection, usually taken a few hours before intimacy, and many women feel it helps restore that spark that seemed long gone, though side effects can include flushing or nausea. So here's the big takeaway: menopause is much more than hot flashes. It's brain, body, skin, mood, and sexual function all shifting at once. But you don't have to just “tough it out.” From lifestyle shifts to targeted peptides, there are tools to help you feel like yourself again. And the most important thing to remember is that you are not alone. Every chin hair, every laugh-leak, every brain fog moment—you've got millions of women nodding right along with you.

Today, we're talking about how nootropics and peptides like Semax (See-max) and Selank (SEH-lank) work together to support cognitive health, improve focus, and reduce mental fatigue. Let's start with nootropics. These are substances that are designed to support and enhance mental performance. Some work by improving memory, others help with focus, alertness, or reducing brain fog. Nootropics can be: Natural, like L-theanine or Lion's Mane Nutraceuticals, like Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline, which support neurotransmitter production Or synthetic, like Modafinil or racetams “RASS-uh-tams”, which are often used off-label to promote wakefulness and focus Most nootropics work by affecting levels of key brain chemicals like dopamine, acetylcholine, or norepinephrine. They don't “make you smarter,” but they can improve how efficiently your brain is working—especially under stress or fatigue. Now, let's talk about peptides—specifically Selank and Semax, which are two of the most well-known nootropic peptides. Selank is more about calming and emotional regulation, while Semax leans into cognitive enhancement and brain performance. Think of Selank as the anti-anxiety sidekick and Semax as the mental sharpener. Selank works by boosting GABA activity, which helps calm the nervous system. That's why it's often used to reduce stress and anxiety without causing drowsiness or dependence — unlike traditional anti-anxiety meds. Interestingly, it also slightly increases BDNF, the brain growth factor that supports memory and learning. Semax, on the other hand, has a much stronger impact on BDNF. It's derived from ACTH, but it doesn't raise cortisol levels. Instead, it enhances BDNF, dopamine, and serotonin activity, making it great for improving focus, mental energy, and even mood. And that's what makes them such a powerful combo for some people. Selank helps create a calm, clear mental space — kind of like reducing background noise — while Semax boosts the brain's signal, improving neuroplasticity, motivation, and mental clarity. Together, they offer a full-spectrum brain support: emotional balance and cognitive performance. Whether you're dealing with brain fog, anxiety, or just want to perform at a higher level, these peptides could be worth exploring. Stacking Nootropics with Peptides One of the most popular strategies for cognitive support is to combine or stack peptides with nootropics. For example: Selank pairs well with L-theanine for calming, focused energy. L-theanine, an amino acid found primarily in green tea, promotes relaxation and reduces stress without causing drowsiness by increasing calming neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin. Lion's Mane mushroom, a natural nootropic found in both wild and cultivated forms, can be stacked with Semax to naturally support memory, focus, and neurogenesis. Semax can be used with Alpha-GPC to support both short-term concentration and long-term brain health. Alpha-GPC (Alpha-glycerophosphocholine) is a choline-containing nutraceutical, often derived from soy or sunflower lecithin, that acts as a powerful nootropic. It increases levels of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter involved in learning, memory, focus, and muscle control. Because of its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently, Alpha-GPC is often used to enhance cognitive function, support brain health and neuroprotection, and improve physical performance by boosting power output and recovery in athletes. Semax can also be used with CDP-Choline for memory support, brain fog, and age-related cognitive decline. It too is a nutraceutical that provides choline, which the brain uses to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory, learning, and focus. It also delivers cytidine, which converts into uridine—a compound that supports neuron repair and brain cell membrane synthesis.  Alright, so one question we get a lot is, “What's the difference between CDP-Choline and Alpha-GPC?” It's a good one—because they're both great choline sources, but they work a little differently. Alpha-GPC delivers choline more directly, which means you'll feel that boost in focus and mental energy a bit faster. It's especially handy if you're doing high-intensity brain work or even something athletic. Lastly, I also want to dive into something a lot of people are curious about, Modafinil and racetams (RASS-uh-tams).  Modafinil (Provigil) is a prescription, stimulant medication used to treat sleep disorders (e.g., narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea) and shift work disorder. It's also used off-label as a focus-enhancing nootropic. It works by promoting wakefulness in the CNS. Researchers don't know exactly how it works, but it appears to affect areas in the brain that control attention and wakefulness. Racetams (e.g., Piracetam, Aniracetam, or Oxiracetam) are a class of compounds that enhance acetylcholine activity and neuroplasticity, leading to better learning, memory, and focus with subtle, non-stimulant effects.  While Modafinil provides a noticeable surge in alertness and productivity, racetams offer a more gradual cognitive boost that can be ideal for sustained mental performance. Just remember, peptides provide foundational support—helping your brain repair and function better long-term. Nootropics can then layer on immediate effects, like sharper focus or improved mood.

Listen in this week as Dee explains how acetylcholine is made in the body, and practical ways to boost its production through diet and supplementation. Reference:Nakazaki, E., Mah, E., Sanoshy, K., Citrolo, D., & Watanabe, F.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Caffeine Energy "Not all nootropics are created equal. Caffeine is a nootropic by definition. Particularly what caffeine and energy drinks are missing is they're just giving you energy, but you have no ability to use it properly. They keep you awake but you're miserable." - Jeff Boyd Why Multitasking Is a Myth "Multitasking is a term that was made for computers. Humans cannot multitask. We can shift from one task to another in a nanosecond so it seems like we can multitask, but we are hardwired. We can only do one thing at a time." - Jeff Boyd Paraxanthine Gives You More Than Energy "Paraxanthine gives you smooth energy. It's increasing short-term memory, cognition under physical stress, and the ability to pay attention. That's more than energy. That's being able to have energy to then go deploy it, use it, and be your best self. What's the point otherwise?" - Jeff Boyd Links From Today's Show  Jeff Boyd MTE: 20% off with code "JOSH" 192 Jason Prall: The Human Longevity Project The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan The Psychic Roots of Disease by Bjorn Eybl Yellowstone (2018)   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT
