And it's just sometimes so important to step back and be like, okay, why do I care?

And in that instance, I was so proud and happy that I could kind of put that to the side.

But yeah, it takes time to get there.

I feel like it's been debunked a lot.

Peptides.

injecting ourselves with peptides that a lot of the time we don't know what they do.

We don't know the long-term side effects of them.

And for a lot of the time, we're taking the information from social media, from people that aren't qualified to recommend them.

We aren't thinking about what are the long-term effects of this.

It's very similar to skin cancer culture in Australia, like getting a tan and

for three weeks, your skin might look a little bit more golden brown.

But the long-term impacts of that, like in 10 or 20 years, when in Australia we have the highest rate of melanoma compared to any other country, is wild.

And that's what I think with peptides.

Like, yes, it might give your skin a little bit more of a glow right now in this moment.

But in 20 years, if that's going to have long-term health repercussions for you, will it be worth it?

Probably not.

Maybe.

You know what?

I've never labeled myself as like a fashionable person.

That's okay.
