Episode 559: Explant Recovery: the First 2 Weeks

In this episode, I share exactly what my explant surgery recovery has been like so far, what I expected, what caught me off guard, and what actually helped. I recorded this 14 days post op, while I am still very much in the healing process. We talked about anesthesia recovery, sleep disruption, bloating, chest tightness, drains, compression, pain management, food and hydration needs, emotional swings, nervous system overload, and practical home prep that made a real difference. This episode is for anyone considering breast explant surgery or currently recovering and wondering if what they are experiencing is normal.

Episode 558: FIT: Building Muscle, Strength, and Longevity

Muscle isn't just for movement: it's your body's largest metabolic organ.

In this episode, we explore the science behind FIT, the peptide that helps your body maintain and rebuild muscle by communicating directly with its repair systems. Learn how FIT inhibits myostatin, activates mTOR, and uses cofactors like vitamin D and magnesium to restore your body's ability to synthesize muscle.

We'll discuss how this peptide differs from supplements, what kind of changes to expect in the first weeks and months, and why protecting muscle is the single most effective strategy for metabolic health and longevity.
