Peptides were not something I actively went looking for. They showed up slowly, through conversations, research, and personal experience. Over time, I realized I had a lot of questions about them, so I wanted to share what I’ve learned so far in a way that feels grounded and honest. This post is…

I cannot believe that another year has gone by and that Austin is now 7. I look back through videos and wonder where that baby face, dimply smile, and adorable baby babble have gone. I know it’s cliché, but it’s true. Time does fly. But it’s also kind of cool to watch Austin grow so…
