The Truth About Peptides & Hormones by "Peptide Princess" Dr. Amanda Kahn

What if feeling better—not endlessly “optimizing” yourself—is the real goal? Dr. Amanda Kahn is a board-certified internist and longevity doctor whose own experience as a medical mystery changed the way she practices medicine. During pregnancy, she became severely ill, cycled through specialists and medications, and was ultimately left without a diagnosis. Even after giving birth, she was told her labs looked fine—despite feeling exhausted, inflamed, and completely unlike herself. That experience led her to look beyond the traditional medical model and build a practice focused on the whole picture: your symptoms, bloodwork, genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and long-term health. Today, peptides, GLP-1s, hormones, and “biohacking” are everywhere. But what actually works—and what is just wellness hype? Molly and Emese talk to Dr. Kahn about: Why peptides have suddenly become one of the biggest buzzwords in wellness—and what they actually are BPC-157 and TB-4, and how Dr. Kahn uses regenerative peptides in her practice GHK and the idea of supporting collagen and skin from the inside out Why the peptide black market is so dangerous—and how to find a qualified doctor and reputable pharmacy GLP-1s beyond weight loss, including inflammation, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk What women should know about hormones and why the Women's Health Initiative changed the conversation around HRT Why your labs can look “normal” even when you don't feel like yourself The difference between optimization and resilience—and why Dr. Kahn thinks the latter is a better goal Her approach to jet lag, including morning sunlight, hydration, protein, and getting your body onto the new time zone Plus, Dr. Kahn shares why she believes knowing your family history, building muscle, and establishing healthy habits early can make a difference as you age.
