I'm trying peptides for my hormones!


Come with me on my peptide journey!

Hi lovely!

If you're on this list, you most likely got here from Balance with Maddie , where I share all things gormones, fertility and tapping back into your powerful feminine body.

I'm going to keep sending you hormone & fertility deep dives on this email list BUT everything beyond the hormones — peptide experimentation, parasite cleansing, adult adhd, and more personal, messier and human side of me — never really fit in a hormone newsletter. So I've given it its own home!

I've started a Substack: Unfiltered with Maddie.

Simple split: Balance with Maddie = your hormone & fertility deep dives. Unfiltered with Maddie = everything else.

And "everything else" right now is a big one. I'm deep in my first real experiment in years: peptides. I went to a practitioner for my about my bad brain fog, morning fatigue, and off cycles, wanting to try something completely new. She's been using peptides with chronic illness patients for over a decade, and has put me on a personalized peptide protocol!!

This is the first time I've ever tried them, and I'm tracking every week - what I'm taking, why, the science in plain english, and whether it actually works (including if it does nothing at all).

The overview is up now, and the first deep dive — SS-31, a mitochondrial peptide almost no one's talking about — is right behind it!

Beyond peptides, Unfiltered is also where I'm going to be sharing about my recent ADHD diagnosis, wedding skin glow up journey, gut healing protocols, mineral analysis results, self growth lessons and the honest human stuff I don't post anywhere else. No highlight reels!

JOIN ME!

Appreciate you always,

Maddie

Why hormone work IS fertility work Hi Reader We need to clear this up... The idea that "fertility work" and "hormone work" are two different things, and that fertility work only starts once you're actively trying to conceive. They are the same work. Fertility isn't a separate system that switches on when you decide you're ready - it's downstream of the same hormone regulation, blood sugar balance, nervous system state, and nutrient status. By the time someone is "trying," their hormones have...

The perfectionist pattern I see again and again Hi Reader Let me preface this email by saying that what I'm about to talk abiout is not about blame and its not about fault, it's about identifying patterns that may seem to be separate from health but are in fact affecting your hormones and fertility every single day. This is the pattern I've seen working with hundreds of client over the years: A lot of the women who come to me are high-achieving, type-A, used to solving problems through...

What wedding planning is teaching me about my own hormones Hi Reader Happy Monday! We're getting a lil vulnerable here! I am in the THICK of planning my wedding and as fun as it CAN be, I'm definitely relearning how to take care of my own stress hormones. It's forcing me to actually use the tools I give my clients on myself, in real time. As a PCOS girly, my body is very sensitive to stress and I've been noticing my own cycle shift, my sleep getting worse, my motivation to cook a real meal...
