  The FDA Peptide Hearing 04.08.2026 35мин

  On July 23–24, 2026, the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee considered seven peptide-related bulk drug substances for possible inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. Six received a favorable recommendation; one did not. That vote did not approve these peptides, and it did not immediately change their legal status. Advisory committees provide nonbinding recommendations. The FDA must still decide what action, if any, to take. In this episode, Dr. Tracy Page separates the facts from the he...

  TB-500: The Peptide That Finds Your Injury & Heals It 07.07.2026 55мин

  If you have an injury that has refused to fully heal, a frozen shoulder that came out of nowhere, post-surgical recovery that has plateaued, or simply a body that has stopped bouncing back the way it used to — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of thymosin beta-4, one of the most abundant peptides in your body, and TB-500, its synthetic active fragment that travels through the bloodstream to wherever the body is calling for repair. Featuring the case of “Marisol...

  The Peptide that Targets Visceral Fat 23.06.2026 57мин

  If your weight has been stable for years but your waist has been quietly growing, if your primary care labs come back “normal” but something feels metabolically off, if you have been told to “lose some weight” when your weight was never the actual problem — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of visceral fat, why it is biologically different from the fat under your skin, and the only FDA-approved peptide that specifically targets it. Featuring the case of “Beth,”...

  Why Recovery Stops When We Age 16.06.2026 55мин

  If your recovery has collapsed, your sleep has gone shallow, your body composition has shifted despite the same effort, and your labs come back “normal” — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of somatopause, the silent decline of the master repair signal of the body, and the two peptides — CJC-1295 and ipamorelin — that work together to restore the natural pulsatile growth hormone release of your younger years. Featuring the case of “Rebecca,” a 51-year-old marath...

  Thymosin Alpha-1: Rebuilding the Immune System After 40 09.06.2026 39мин

  If you have caught more illnesses in the last two years than the prior twenty, if your body has stopped bouncing back from infections, if you have an autoimmune condition that flared in midlife, or if a viral infection left a shadow you can’t shake — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of thymic involution, the silent disappearance of the gland that trained your immune system, and the peptide called thymosin alpha-1 that has been studied in over 4,400 patients a...

  BPC-157: The Body’s Own Repair Code 02.06.2026 43мин

  If you have a chronic injury that won’t heal, a gut that’s been quietly inflamed for years, or both — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science behind BPC-157, the body’s own repair code, with a clear breakdown of the question patients ask most: should I take it orally or by injection? Featuring the case of “Lisa,” a 52-year-old patient with two-year tennis elbow and ulcerative colitis who discovered the two diagnoses were actually one underlying problem. In this epis...
• 
  Larazotide: The Gatekeeper Peptide 26.05.2026 40мин

  If you are a woman in your 40s or 50s who has developed bloating, food sensitivities, brain fog, or joint pain that nobody can explain — and your labs keep coming back “normal” — this episode is for you. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of why estrogen decline damages the gut barrier, the bidirectional feedback loop driving your symptoms, and the peptide called larazotide that targets the exact mechanism behind your inflammation. Featuring the case of “Diane,” a 51-year-old patient wi...

  The Peptide Reset 19.05.2026 33мин

  If you’re a high-functioning woman in your 40s who has been told her labs are “normal” but knows something has shifted — the energy, the recovery, the mirror, the gut, the hair — this is the episode that explains what’s actually happening. Dr. Tracy Page walks through the seven systems that decline in midlife, the peptide class quietly transforming functional medicine, and the FDA decision in April 2026 that just changed the regulatory landscape. Featuring the case of “Melissa,” a 48-year-old...

  Your Gut Is Running the Show 12.05.2026 46мин

  Anxiety. Palpitations. Constipation. Heavy periods. Recurrent infections. Five different symptoms — one root cause. In this episode, we break down a real patient case that reveals how inflammatory gut dysfunction drives hormonal chaos, metabolic breakdown, and mood disruption simultaneously. We explain the ferritin trap that could have led to a dangerous treatment mistake, why your CRP is more important than your hormone panel, and the exact sequence of interventions that actually works — sta...

  Why Your GLP-1 Stopped Working 05.05.2026 46мин

  She was on a GLP-1. The scale had stopped moving. She was exhausted, puffy, had zero sex drive, and she was offered yet another medication for weight loss. But Diane's plateau wasn't a medication failure — it was a metabolic systems failure. Low protein was burning her muscle. A Free T3 of 2.5 ran her metabolism at half capacity. Cortisol dysregulation was causing her to hold fluid and blocking fat release. And an antidepressant known for weight resistance and sexual dysfunction was going com...

  PCOS is Insulin Resistance — Not a Hormone Disorder 28.04.2026 44мин

  She was 40, hadn't had a period in two years, and was terrified she would never be able to get pregnant. Her doctors gave her a PCOS diagnosis and offered birth control — which she couldn't tolerate. What nobody checked was her TPO antibodies (236 — classic Hashimoto's), her fasting insulin (11 — early insulin resistance driving androgen excess), her gut microbiome (depleted, likely driving both conditions), or her homocysteine (elevated — impairing egg quality and embryo implantation). &nbs...

  The Five Cardiac Labs That Could Save Your Life 21.04.2026 39мин

  She exercised. She ate well. Her standard bloodwork looked fine. But three hidden biomarkers — only visible on an advanced Cardio IQ panel — revealed a cardiovascular risk profile that was anything but fine. In this episode, we break down a real patient case: a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman with Lp(a) of 99.7, dangerously elevated small LDL particles at 874, and an MPO of 79 showing active arterial inflammation. We explain what each marker means, why menopause makes all three worse, and th...

  Why Community Matters for Women in Midlife and Menopause 31.03.2026 27мин

  Midlife can feel unexpectedly isolating — but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, Dr. Tracy Page explores why connection is not just emotionally supportive, but essential for long-term health and longevity. Drawing from both science and her clinical experience, she explains how isolation impacts everything from stress hormones to cardiovascular health — and why meaningful relationships are one of the most powerful tools women have during midlife and menopause. Dr. Page shares personal in...

  What No One Tells Women About Perimenopause, Hormones, and Midlife Health 25.03.2026 28мин

  Perimenopause is one of the most misunderstood phases in a woman’s life — and for many, it begins long before they expect. In this episode, Dr. Tracy Page breaks down what is really happening in the body during perimenopause and why so many women feel dismissed, confused, or even broken despite being told their labs are “normal.” She explains how hormonal fluctuations — not just decline — can impact mood, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being. From anxiety and brain fog to weight gain ...

Drawing from her experience as a functional medicine physician, she reveals the foundational pillars that de...

  Why Midlife Women Get Stronger, Smarter, and Healthier After 40 17.03.2026 28мин

  Midlife can feel confusing, frustrating, and isolating for many women — but it doesn’t have to be. In this introductory episode of Midlife Clarity, Dr. Tracy Page explains why so many women over 40 feel like their bodies have suddenly changed — and why the answers they receive from traditional medicine often leave them feeling dismissed or unheard. Drawing from her experience as a functional medicine physician caring for thousands of women, Dr. Page unpacks the biological shifts that occur d...

  Welcome to Midlife Clarity with Dr. Tracy Page 10.03.2026 1мин

  Are you a woman over 40 who feels like your body changed overnight — and no one explained why? Maybe your energy is lower. Your metabolism isn’t responding the same way. Your sleep, mood, or confidence feels different. And you’ve been told, “That’s just midlife.” But what if it’s not just midlife? What if it’s perimenopause, menopause, and real hormone shifts that deserve real answers? Welcome to Midlife Clarity with Dr. Tracy Page. This podcast is for women navigating midlife who want ev...
