Learn How Peptides Boost Your Fertility Hormones

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Thank you, Carrie. I’m so excited to be here. There is so much to unpack, and I appreciate all the work that you’re doing and the messaging that you get out there. I think this is going to be impactful and helpful for a lot of women and men.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Absolutely. Well, that brings me to my first question. Fertility is a big topic, and we are covering the gamut when it comes to interviews. But I want to get a feel for how you got into hormones and, specifically, how you use that information to handle fertility issues with your clientele.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes. That’s a great question. I think that, for the vast majority of the audience probably watching this seminar and involved in this field of medicine, they probably all started trying to solve their own needs. I am no different. I am just everyone that I treat and everyone that I collaborate with, and I’ve had hormonal dysfunction my entire life. I had a health coach many years ago, and I’ve just stolen her tagline. She said, Megan, women should give in to puberty. Okay. But on a basic and/or chronological level, that would make sense because I was placed on oral birth control before I ever menstruated. By definition, my body has never known what to do with hormones. I thought, What better feeling to become an expert in and take the medical career path that affects men and women such as myself? 

Now how do hormones play a role in fertility? It’s everything, and I think fertility is a loaded gun, just as you were alluding to. It’s not always the woman, and how I incorporate hormones and peptide therapy and any holistic care with fertility patients is that I navigate their consultations and their ongoing management the same as I would any reproductive or chronological patient with a good history of what hormonally has gone on with their bodies since they came into this world. What tools have they tried? What failed? Then we move into kind of phase three with advanced testing and look under the hood about what your hormones are doing, remembering that we’re not just talking about estrogen and progesterone, but the thyroid hormone insulin as a hormone, and even hormone signals that start in our brain and travel down to the gonads. in mending the testes that create sperm and for women being our ovaries that are responsible for ovulation and the beginning processes of bringing life into the world.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I love that you mentioned the male aspect of it. I feel I bet a majority of listeners are, of course, female, but I find that and I’ve been educated like you; we just can’t forget it. Forget about the male factor part of it. Can we unpack that part a little bit? What do you see with men coming in or who get dragged in? They think they’re fine and they’re not fine, and they’re the other 50% of that equation.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

It takes two to tango and to reproduce, for sure. Even Elon Musk has not invented a new way to create life. It’s all the basics—chicken and eggs, birds, and the bees—that we may have learned back in grade school. Yes, we are bringing men into the conversation. We have to remember that I was just having a conversation with truly non-medical people, with our financial guys. They’re asking about, like, what we do and whatnot, and we started talking about his wife and his fertility struggles. I just always go back to a few phrases that ring true for a lot of people and that men and women, ancestrally, were brought on this planet for one reason, and that was to reproduce. That was our goal, just to continue species moving forward. 

Whenever our body senses that it is not a good time to reproduce in the first place, it starts to downregulate energy resources, whose function is reproduction, because it’s like, great. Like, she’s trying to kill us. She’s trying to kill us, running from the bear. Like, I need to conserve. Let’s not try to also create life. A lot of your fertility conversations in our clinic start probably the same way a health coach would start: How is your sleep? What are your relationships like? Are you your spouse? Do you feel safe in that relationship? What is your sexual life like? What are your periods doing? What does your nutrition look like? What are your blood sugars like? All these things that we would think are not related to reproduction play a way more impactful role than maybe what I’m going to see in blood work.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Yes. Because we’re in the 21st century, I think your statement that you made about we are here for reproduction and I always joke whether you want to or not that, biologically,

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes. 

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Biologically, that truly is what we’re here for. That can shock and surprise a lot of people when they sit back and think about it. Now, the point of this summit is to reproduce. It is for fertility. It is to bring a baby into this world. But it can be confusing when you’re like, Well, if that’s what I was put here for biologically versus to reproduce what is going on with me and why isn’t this happening or vice versa, which is why I’m listening to this at the beginning of my journey because I’m hoping to be as optimal as possible. Starting ASAP with fixing the things you just mentioned—sleep and stress, relationships, blood sugar and thyroid—and all the other things will only set you up for success.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Absolutely. and bringing men back into the picture and women and kind of where the roles are sometimes peptide pharmaceutical intervention come into place are again looking at the basic of hypogonadism repressed reproductive system. the hypothalamus, the pituitary, talking to our adrenal glands, talking down to the testes to make sperm and testosterone. It’s documented and well-known that levels of serum and blood levels of testosterone are dramatically declining in men. We can blame all kinds of things, whether it is diet, lifestyle, pornography, blue light, plastics, etc. There are a thousand different reasons, and for some part, it doesn’t matter because we all live in the 21st century and we have to continue to produce for our families. 

I would say it would be great if everyone could become a Buddhist monk. But that’s not realistic for the vast majority of people out there, and especially if you’re a health coach or someone like me who works in concierge medicine, my patients have to be able to pay me, so they have to work by definition. Digging deeper, the first thing I should say is that when it comes to men and they think about fertility testing, all I can think about is all those poor movies where you see the guy going into the fertility clinic and they hand in makeup and a VHS of porn. I just want to start with the fact that there are now at-home semen testing samples available, so you don’t have to go anywhere. It doesn’t have to be creepy or weird. I should probably tell men that that’s all good now.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Which is important because. Men are sometimes against the idea.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Of course, it’s not me who makes it, maybe. I always tell women that I even saw a fertility patient early this morning. That was when the conversation we had started, and I said, What? I’m sure she’d already gone through IVF, and it failed. I said, I know I’m asking an obvious question, but your husband is. She is completely cleared and has good sperm. It started well, and I’m like, here we go. It starts with you serving our country and being deployed for many years. There’s a lot of PTSD and stress, and we again go back to that. There’s not a worse time to be reproductive than when you’re in the middle of battle. He was told that his testosterone was on the low side of normal and had never had a semen sample. Well, sometimes obvious things are obvious. Can we just start there before we start jumping into all of these things? To be honest, your blood work looks beautiful. She went straight, normally. She ovulates again. 

We have to make sure it’s not the big elephant in the room and so interventional for both men and women when we’re talking about peptides, and I should say a peptide by definition is a chain of amino acids. Two amino acids strung together make the peptide; more than 50 amino acids make a protein. Peptides are the building blocks of proteins, and we have normal peptide chains all over our bodies. Peptide therapy, which has become very popular, is the science of recognizing those amino acid chains, reproducing them in a pharmacy, whether it’s an oral pill, a transdermal cream, a nasal spray, or an injectable, and reintroducing them into the body to increase your production of that peptide. The most commonly prescribed peptide in the country and maybe the world is insulin, which is naturally made in our pancreas. 

When it comes to fertility health, there are a few kinds of go-to peptides that can be supportive depending on what the degree of dysfunction is. Talking about men and sperm and women and ovulation, we can improve both of those with something called human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG, which is a peptide hormone that’s naturally produced in pregnancy. For men, one, it can boost testosterone levels. Two, it stimulates luteinizing hormone, which, for men, then creates more effective sperm. For women, we use HCG sometimes as a pulsating approach during their ovulation window. Usually days 10 to 18 help spike ovulation, if that’s the issue that we perceive is going on inside of your body.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

This is this. I just want to stop there for a second because I think when people think of peptides if they don’t know, they’re thinking, Another pharmaceutical, this is another medication. This is another super-scary, concerning intervention I’m going to have to do. then, off the bat, you’re insulin. Insulin is about HCG, which is about diet. It’s like, Wait a minute, we have those in our bodies. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female; you’ll hopefully have both.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Exactly. That’s why peptide therapy, for the most part, is tolerated very well when done appropriately. Glutathione is a three-amino acid in the peptide that’s produced in our liver. You’re correct in that. It is funny that, especially in this field, being on the medical side, I have a lot of patients do it. They’re on the other end of testosterone, and maybe some estradiol, I’ll say, but I don’t take medications, and I’m like, you do that. These are medicines. I just think they’re natural and bioidentical, and your body should have them. But by definition, you still have to have the DA license to prescribe all those things. It’s a little bit of, I would say, living better through science and living better through medicine. But that still requires the first part of that statement, which is living better. Going back to those pillars of health.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I love that. That’s amazing. Let’s get into some of the peptides that people aren’t familiar with. , things his peptide or peptides for inflammation or the G.I track and then sort of explaining well what those are and then how they circle back and relate to hormones and fertility.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes, absolutely. There’s kind of an app for that. There’s a peptide for that. Unfortunately,  in this country, just anything else can be misused, overused, or oversold. Because peptides come with a very safe side effect profile, the downside could be that some of them just aren’t going to cure all of your problems, which are going to be other problems. because peptides, except in 10, are specifically different because peptide change is again a peptide that helps to stimulate what’s called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which occurs in our pituitary gland. If you ever think of a champagne tower and you tip the bottle upside down and everything starts to trickle, the pituitary gland is kind of that champagne bottle, and it starts a cascade of hormones and signals again from the brain down to the adrenal glands and then down to the gonads to do a lot of things. Increase luteinizing hormone, which we see with peptide 10 because peptide 10 can also increase follicular stimulating hormone, which plays a huge role in peptide 10. After all, peptide 10 can also increase follicular stimulating hormone, which plays a huge role in normal ovarian function. It helps also with the production of eggs and can enhance the fertilization of an egg into an embryo when it meets the sperm. At conception, time can also be used very similarly to HCG for both men and women. The same thing with men again, it can increase that luteinizing hormone, which can increase sperm production. The other peptide is in.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Before you go on, I just want to say that, because this happened recently, I think this is a good thing to bring up. I’ve seen you use this peptide with hypothalamic amenorrhea where everything else has been ruled out, and I’ve seen you use it again in that just irregular weird can’t figure out everything but it’s not thyroid as I prolactin it’s not a tumor it’s not all these things and you’re like, what is going on? Can you walk through that? Because I know people are listening who are like, That’s me; I have irregular cycles; we can’t figure it out. Or, I have been diagnosed with hypothalamic amenorrhea. Am I doomed? how this may be a good add-on.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes. Again, when we’re talking about stimulating, for hypertonic amenorrhea, it’s going to help more of the follicular stimulating portion of, I guess, the roles of the ovaries because it will help to stimulate the, I guess, production or the beginning process of increasing serum levels of estradiol. What happens with hypothalamic amenorrhea versus menopause? In menopause, you will naturally see very high levels of both LH and FSH, and that’s because both luteinizing and follicular stimulating hormones are produced. They’re kind of a man with a microphone, and they just scream louder and louder, trying to tell your ovaries to make estrogen. As we know, with menopause or ovarian failure, as it’s unexpectedly termed, estrogen, regardless of that signal, is going to downregulate. 

With hypothalamic amenorrhea, we usually see very low to undetectable levels of LH and FSH. If we can raise that signal or that man’s voice with the microphone, it will start to tell the ovaries to make estrogen, which can start to bring back normal menstruation. Yes, I have a couple of patients that we’ve been successful with, and they’ll even say whether it’s not their bleeding because sometimes that’s the only signal of hormone function. I’ve trended their bloodwork and we’ll start with either estradiol is less than five their LH of the stage and we’ll see that start to come back and they’ll even say am having cervical mucus because again all that estrogen production and ovulation hormones and signals are flooding to the ovaries they’re able to track, when they have spikes in their libido, basal body temperature, and then bleeding is kind of the last thing that finally can come back.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

That is so cool. With conception and just because I know people are going to ask, is this something all peptides, most peptides prescription, is this something you swallow? Is this a cream? Is this an injection?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

That’s a good question. Yes. I probably have a love of needles in my clinic, which I don’t. It is injectable. Most peptides are, to be honest, depending on how we’re doing it. For severe hypothalamic amenorrhea, it’s a daily injection. I always say until you start seeing one of those signals, whether it’s cervical mucus, feeling cramping, ovarian things spike in your basal body temperature, or libido. Also, peptide 10, especially for patients who are symptomatic from hypothalamic amenorrhea, for which they’re usually very irritable, those hormone dysfunctions. Sometimes has a hard time sleeping. He should start to lift a lot of those other signals outside of just menstruation, and first, usually, once we’ve seen your blood work coming back, things are waking up, maybe we’re still not menstruating, or the goal is strictly fertility. Then I’ll switch to, as we talked about with HCG, just LH surge dosing. It’s usually 125 to 250 micrograms pumped in 10 days, 10 through 18.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Okay. When you say needle injectable, just for those who have a fear, how big is this needle?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Here. I haven’t said have hormones everywhere. For women out there who may or may not get Botox, it’s the same needle that they use. Small, thin, tiny, very easy. It’s not intramuscular. You can pinch a piece of tissue around your abdomen if you’re very lean. I suggest trying to pinch some tissue around your glutes or your hips and injecting there. That’s something that our office or any well-versed health coach can help you with as well.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Amazing. Okay. Are there other peptides that can be helpful?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes. Again, we should set a three-minute time limit because I know this will be a hot topic, but it is just true, and I can’t even say so. Semaglutide is getting it out there. Just start. Let’s just talk about the reasons why women have fertility dysfunction. Metabolic derangement is right up there. Probably one of the top of the list. We know, even in the spectrum of diagnosis of polycystic ovarian function, that it by definition carries the metabolic component. The more metabolically healthy you can become, the healthier your reproduction. Semaglutide is an incredible drug. Sometimes overused, misused, and bastardized all the things, but they can improve someone’s insulin sensitivity, help produce normal levels of estrogen, progesterone, blood glucose, and insulin in the body, and therefore reap better reproduction. When we see this, even if it’s ovulatory PCOS, which is one of the facets of PCOS, typically, if you were to do a Dutch test, all the estrogens are high and all the progesterone is low, and I always remind people that if you are obese and we were to biopsy an adipose cell, we would find estrogen in there. The weight loss, or again, improving metabolic health that can come with Semaglutide, can help to regulate that ovarian function.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

How would you use Semaglutide? I love that you said it’s maybe overused, misused, or bastardized. In this particular instance, as an example, everybody’s different. But if somebody is listening to this thinking, yes, I tried to talk to my doctor about this, or yes, I’ve been considering this, is this month? Would this maybe be three months? Before you get into any fertility treatments, what do you tend to see?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes, and yes. The patient I saw this morning was interesting, and chronologically, she’s of advanced age. But still, everything told me her hormonal age looked pretty good, but she was obese. I told her, Is your goal and your only goal in life to have one more baby? Because if that is it, then sure. You go in for the IY, spend thousands of dollars, and throw the kitchen sink. If you can give me one year, we can focus on making you the healthiest you can be. She has two children as well. There was kind of that in the conversation that I wasn’t worried that there were no children. I asked if we could focus on that. Not only could we maximize your ability to get pregnant, but we could also improve your health and the lifespan of your existing children. 

That being said, it depends on always. It depends on why we’re using Semaglutide. But if it is ovarian dysfunction related to metabolic disease, I think 18 months to two years sometimes is what’s warranted and how Semaglutide works for people who aren’t familiar with it. It is also a peptide; it is the glucagon peptide-1, which is what’s called an increase in a hormone that lives in our intestines. Again, it’s a chain of amino acids by definition, and it is a once-a-week self-administered injection. The way that Semaglutide is dosed, it’s titrated. Starting at a low dose, you have the option every four weeks to increase to this well-studied maintenance dose. However, I’ve found over many years of prescribing Semaglutide, and when it was just Ozempic when I was in primary care, not everybody needs to get to that maintenance dose of 2.5 milligrams to reap all the metabolic benefits. What’s most important is that when you’ve achieved the vast majority of your relief of symptoms or the reason why you went on treatment, you spend just as much, if not longer, titrating back off of the drug. \

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Then with Semaglutide only because I know you, but I also know how you work. But I know people who are listening may not realize it’s not a magic peptide. Meaning, Megan is also doing all the work. Her health coaches are doing all the work with that person at the same time for diet, lifestyle, habits, etc.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

We should go back to the fact that something has been around since the early 2,000s. It has only recently become popular and again is not always using the great facets. I think of Semaglutide the way I do about men and testosterone. I’m like, sure if I give you your testosterone, are you going to feel better? Sure. But you’re not going to sit on the couch and grow a six-pack; your friend is going to the gym every day—unrealistic expectations. The pillars of health are the foundation of anything. They should be. probably even what’s most important about the use and the responsibility of the practitioner in terms of who we deem medically appropriate for this treatment because there is an ethical responsibility on my part as the prescriber, to ensure that I am not creating metabolic dysfunction in the long term. After all, one side effect of this drug is its profound impact on a hormone called leptin, and it can create a lot of appetite since satiety, which for people who maybe don’t have again their pillars of health and check are just like, great, I’m just not going to eat. Well, I mean, I can starve you, and you can lose weight, but that’s not going to help. Like, again, your hormones, more than anything, your thyroid. You just came out of all of this weaker than you were before. In that reversal of treatment, anyone who goes through a weight loss shift, no matter if you were like, I don’t know, Ronnie Coleman, the best Olympic physique athlete, says that when you lose weight, you’re going to lose muscle. Especially for my female clients, muscle is everything in terms of longevity, sarcopenia, bone, health, and all this stuff. We spend a lot of time discussing when the weight starts coming off. I’m like, Okay, great. Now we’re going to look at your reproductive hormones, I want to know what your androgens are doing, and I want to make sure that we’re feeding and fueling the body and you are engaging in fitness that’s going to enable them to give you more active tissue.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I hope everyone who’s listening realizes the amount of study, research, and experience that Megan has with this, so that if your practitioner talks about Semaglutide with you and just hands you the prescription with no other conversation, you may be set up for failure. Where is it? It’s a lot more complicated than here, Do this injection, magically lose weight, and come out fine. On the other side, I love the way that she frames it because, as she mentioned, it gets bastardized and used incorrectly as part of it.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes, and that could be anything in medicine. It’s unfortunate, but your candidacy is important. I think if we were just going to throw into the head of peptides, one last one. I would always think about oxytocin, our feel-good-love hormone. One problem with fertility sometimes again going back to that relationship, and I don’t phrase it as unkindly as I started with, you like yourself? But relationships are important. Oxytocin is, again, a peptide that’s released a couple of times in the body. One, it’s what’s responsible for the uterus contracting at extremely high levels during labor, which is so different, but it is also responsible for orgasm and connection. During breastfeeding, oxytocin is naturally released through the suckling of the breasts and can help with bonding as well as decreasing anxiety. It’s not injectable. That’s one good thing. It can come in two forms: a nasal spray, which I think is sort of a bit more powerful, or atrophy, which is a lozenge put into your tongue and can support enhanced sexual function, again promoting partner bonding, and when it comes to fertility. I think that’s a huge component that also goes missing. You hear the stories of, We were trying for three years and we couldn’t. Then we went on vacation or something and got pregnant. Well, what changed? I think that, as much as we can, we can just promote connection. You see this happen with people with low libido. I would say, there’s a great new champion podcast of Sex with Emily, where she talks about everything helpful and that sometimes we forget that if you’re consenting adults and consenting relationships, that sex should still be sexy and should still promote excitement. Again, it goes back to that ancestral need that we engage in intimacy. Sometimes I think it’s probably too much with too many partners. We’re smarter these days. But we did it because we wanted to bring life into this world. Also, if you don’t use it, you lose it. I think there’s a huge component there.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

It’s nice that oxytocin is available when it’s needed, and it’s hardly talked about, but people listening who maybe had Pitocin when they were in the hospital are trying to say that the contractions, yes, may vary. It’s different, but it’s in much smaller doses.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Can be helpful.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

Yes, it could be helpful. It could be helpful. I love that you brought up oxytocin. Very important. The very last one I want to talk about, only because I’ve seen it all over social media, is BPC-157 and I’m sure those who are listening are maybe like, I see that on my Instagram. Or I see that the latest Biohackers mentioned that or are selling that. Can you explain that one?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Sure. Yes. BPC-157 stands for Body Protective Compound, and it’s derived from an endogenous peptide called GPC, or gastric protective compound. Again, all these come as natural forms of amino acids. Early on, it was used supportively for ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, IBS, and other gut-related issues as it could help to heal the tight junctures of the intestinal wall, improve gut permeability, or cause leaky gut syndrome. From there, it’s kind of anything like, this works well for this. I wonder what it does. Now you see athletes shooting it in their Achilles and shoulders and whatnot, because peptides at times, especially something like BPC, can be nonselective. Again, the healing that occurs in the gut can occur anywhere. 

Because it is both an oral pill and an injectable, people try to inject it closest to the site of injury, and it can be super powerful. I would say if there’s a structural problem, like your shoulders hanging on by a thread, it’s probably not going to reattach it enough to have surgery. But would BPC help you in the healing process after that surgery? Yes. I think studies are pretty clear that it can help accelerate healing and again improve gut dysbiosis. But kind of like how we were talking about Semaglutide’s candidacy. It’s also one of those things that if you are eating the standard American diet, drinking sodas, not sleeping,  overusing alcohol, working a ton, and you’re like, I have diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and bulging whenever you’re like. I saw that on Instagram. I’m going to use BPC. It is not going to help you. You are wasting your money. But it is good for someone, especially someone who has gone through a gut protocol, maybe has had a GI map test or stool testing of some sort, and again, all the pillars are like, okay, the body’s ready to repair and heal. Let’s go ahead and add this in to ensure that, when you do transition out of your gut health protocol, you have robust metabolic flexibility and your stomach can handle a variety of different foods.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I don’t think women, men too, but women when it comes to our monthly cycles, I don’t think they realize how closely tied our gut health is. Through that monthly cycle,?

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

Yes, absolutely. Remember, it’s sitting about; it’s everything; everything is in one cavity there. Yes, it is. It is true. That’s why, probably as basic as it sounds, you talk about cravings, and you’re like, What’s your magnesium level like? Everything is related. and your gut is a good litmus test of your overall health. If you just kind of want to know where things are going and if I am doing everything I can, take a look at the last time I had gas. When’s the estimate for digestion? If that’s a daily thing, then I think you probably need to do some deeper dives.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I love this. Yes, absolutely. There are a host of other peptides that she could go into. But unfortunately, due to time, this is just the dip your toe in for the summit because, again, I think people get peptides confused. They are scared because they think it’s just another medication or that it’s something completely unnatural. Then, as I said in the beginning, insulin, and oxytocin were either glutathione plus or, cool peptides, when used correctly, could make a world of improvement because peptides 10, Semaglutide, BPC, etc., so for everyone listening, keep your mind open. If you hear about peptides, if you’re a practitioner, mention peptides, or consider talking to your practitioner after hearing this. After hearing Megan and going, Some of these sounded to me, and I would like to explore them. So. Megan, where can people find you? Where can they learn? Where can they get help? Tell them.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

I am the medical director for Nutrition Dynamics, so you can always find us at nutritiondynamic.com or on Instagram @nutrition_dynamic. I have a very small, probably not very helpful, Instagram account called @_mousemomentum. If you want to look at a lot of photos of my dogs and me trying to destroy my hormones with some endurance efforts, but otherwise, Nutrition Dynamic is probably the best place to look. I also have an integrative medical course available at Metabolic Mentor University.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

I just finished it myself yesterday before this interview.

Megan del Corral, BSN, MSN, CFNP, CPNP-AC

I’m sorry. I always think that some people make it so boring and dry.

Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH

No. Don’t say that at all. No, it was great. You have to talk about peptides in there. This is a perfect segue way. Again, thank you so much, Megan, for being at the summit. Thank you for talking about fertility and peptides, and thank you to everyone listening. Tune in soon because we will have our next interviewer up.
