"Your body isn't working against you after 40. You just need the right information to work with it."
Menopause is treated like a moment, but it’s really a decade-long shift — one that affects far more than hot flashes and night sweats. In this episode, Dr. Tracy Page of Wisconsin Functional Medicine draws on her own experience (she entered menopause at 52 and says she feels better at 60 than she did at 30) and years of clinical practice to separate fear from fact. She walks through the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study that scare...Listen Now
For more than two decades, many women have approached menopausal hormone therapy with fear, largely because of headlines that followed the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). But the original study was more nuanced than the message many women received. The WHI actually included two different hormone therapy trials, involving different groups of women and producing different breast cancer outcomes. In this episode, we take a closer look at...Listen Now
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,...Listen Now

Dr. Tracy Page walks through the science of GHK-Cu and KPV, two peptides your body has been making your entire life that decline dramatically with age. Featuring the case of “...Listen Now
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 cal...Listen Now
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.

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. Featur...Listen Now
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 ...Listen Now
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...Listen Now
