so please don’t take this as a bible. i just want to walk you through my thought process so you can see where i’m coming from, and if it resonates, you can start doing a version of this at your own pace, no matter what stage you’re in. and yeah, starting a little younger might be easier, but honestly, wherever you’re at is totally okay. you really don’t need years of studying nutrition, you just need to know that the order you introduce foods can matter as much as the foods themselves, and that a little cup of warm stock is a really beautiful place to start. And every single thing you’re doing that feeds your baby is setting you up for an easier mothering later on. At least that’s what I like to think hehe.

also… if banana was your baby’s first food? mine was too. we’re all just doing our best with what we know at the time, and this is simply what i know now.

like, i’d made a whole biohacking career and i STILL wasn’t washing my fruit with the actual veggie wash. i’d gotten relaxed. or maybe spooked by other biohacking women stressed about all of it. because when you first go down the toxin rabbit hole you become insufferable, everything is poison, you can’t buy a candle, you’re smelling strangers’ laundry detergent in the elevator like a bloodhound, and honestly? i’d watched too many women in the city drive themselves to the edge trying to make their whole life perfectly clean. so i chilled out.

then i had a baby.

and suddenly this tiny 8 pound human was living in my house, breathing my air, and putting literally everything he could reach directly into his mouth. and all that stuff i’d gotten lazy about came ROARING back.

here’s the number that got me. you and i are exposed to around 168 chemicals a day. every day. in the food, the furniture, the carpet, the air, the water you shower in. now shrink that down to a brand new body a fraction of your size, with a liver that’s barely online, who is face-down gumming the coffee table. yeah.

so i did the swaps. but here’s my one rule before we start, and it matters more than the whole list:

you cannot do all of this. do not try. the goal is to lower the load, not to achieve a perfectly poison-free bubble, because that bubble does not exist and chasing it will make you crazier than any chemical ever would. we pick the big levers. we ignore the rest. deal? deal.

quick why, so this isn’t just fear. a lot of these toxins are what we call endocrine disruptors. they mimic estrogen in your body. your body goes “oh cool, tons of estrogen in here,” and that estrogen dominance is tied to the belly pouch, the not-losing-weight thing, PMS, and worse. so postpartum, when your hormones are already trying to find their footing? the last thing you want is a house full of fake estrogen. this is a YOU thing and a baby thing at the same time.

ok. the swaps that actually moved the needle, in order of bang-for-buck:

1. fragrance. this is the big one. start here.

i’m so sorry but synthetic fragrance is one of the worst offenders and it’s hiding EVERYWHERE. not just perfume. your plug-in air fresheners. the car freshener. scented candles. laundry detergent. dryer sheets. most “smells clean” cleaning products. all of it.

and if you think i’m being dramatic: IVF clinics don’t let staff wear perfume in the lab. not around the eggs. if it’s too disruptive to be near a forming embryo, i don’t love it near my baby’s lungs.

the swap is the cheapest one on this whole list. fragrance-free everything. unscented detergent, no plug-ins, no synthetic candles. it costs basically nothing and it’s the swap you’ll FEEL. your house stops smelling like “fresh linen” and starts smelling like nothing, which is the point.

2. water.

we drink a ton of it and we bathe our babies in it. so.

get a shower filter and a filter on your kitchen sink. even the water you cook with matters. this was a game changer for us.

ditch the plastic water bottles (the heating and the sitting-in-a-hot-car thing leaches straight into the water). and please, never heat anything in plastic for the baby. no microwaving in plastic, no pouring boiling water into a plastic bottle. glass and stainless steel are your friends.

i’ll be honest, we caved and started buying mineral water and at first i was like i cannot believe i’m paying this much for WATER. but it stuck. we should get to have clean water. it’s not a luxury, it’s the base.

3. air.

a good air filter, sized for the actual room. one tiny filter is not cleaning your giant living room, it’s decoration. get one that matches the space, and change the filter when you’re supposed to (i forget constantly, setting a reminder is the move).

babies are on the floor breathing the dustiest, heaviest air in the house. clean air is one of the easiest wins.

4. plastic in the kitchen.

stop storing food in plastic, especially hot food. swap your worst offenders for glass containers over time (you don’t have to do it all at once, replace as they wear out). and the pans, if you’ve got scratched-up nonstick, that’s the one to replace first.

5. food, the 80/20 version.

you do not need to buy everything organic, that’s the obsession talking and it’s expensive. use the dirty dozen / clean fifteen. strawberries, buy organic (pesticides soak into the skin). avocados, don’t bother, you’re peeling it anyway. wash your produce for real. that’s most of the benefit for a fraction of the money.

and that’s it. that’s the list. notice what i did NOT do: i didn’t rip out my carpets, i didn’t move to the countryside, i didn’t test my walls. i picked the levers that matter and let the rest go.

because here’s the part i need you to actually hear, especially if you’re the type to spiral. your body is powerful. so is your baby’s. you both have detox pathways, your liver, kidneys, skin, the whole system, built to handle a normal load. our job isn’t to achieve zero. our job is to take the load DOWN to something your body can easily handle, and then go live your life.

a mom losing sleep googling whether her couch is off-gassing is not safer than a mom who swapped her detergent and her water filter and then went to bed. the anxiety is its own toxin. we’re not doing that.

lower the load. keep the big ones. drop the guilt. that’s the whole game.

i love you. go throw out the plug-ins first. it’s the easiest win in the house.

xx, Aggie

P.S. the full room-by-room swap list, the dirty dozen / clean fifteen cheat sheet, and the exact filters and brands i actually use are all in the app so you’re not researching this at 2am with a baby on you. grab it and stop guessing.

i want to give you a word that should honestly replace “postpartum,” because postpartum makes it sound like you’re just... post. after. done. the sad leftover of who you were.

you’re not post anything. you’re BECOMING.

the word is matrescence.

and here’s how i want you to hold it: you wouldn’t expect a 16 year old to go back to being a little kid. adolescence is a one-way door. you go in a child, you come out something new, and nobody mourns it, we throw a party.

matrescence is that. exactly that big. your brain, your hormones, your whole identity getting rewired into a new person. except nobody named it for you, nobody threw the party, and instead the world handed you a “bounce back” challenge and a flat tummy tea.

so let me say the thing out loud.

we are not going back to the old you.

we are building someone STRONGER. more powerful. and we’re doing it at our own pace. not social media’s six weeks. not two months. it can take years and that is completely, perfectly fine.

now. i’m all about getting hot. you know i am. getting hotter, stronger, richer is the whole point of this place. but there’s a time and a place and an ENERGY we get to do it from, and it’s not from self-hatred at 6 weeks postpartum staring at your belly like it betrayed you.

here’s what makes me insane. we ask women to go through the single most strenuous thing a human body can do... and then look hot five minutes later like nothing happened. it’s an impossible standard and postpartum is the moment you finally SEE the double standard clearly. that clarity? that’s not a breakdown. that’s you waking up.

ok so here’s the actual work. the stuff i want you to do, not just nod along to.

and i’m lying there doing that math we all do. ok if i fall back asleep in the next 4 minutes i can get 47 more minutes... no wait he’s really going for it... ok 30 more minutes... is that a teething cry or an ear thing or is this ANOTHER growth spurt... and now i’m negotiating with an 8 month old at dawn like a hostage.

(because at this age it’s never just “he’s hungry” anymore, is it. it’s the fourth tooth coming in. it’s the ear infection you didn’t see coming. it’s a growth spurt that turns your good little sleeper into a gremlin for a week for absolutely no reason he’ll explain to you. cool cool cool.)

meanwhile? my husband. asleep. dead to the world. mouth open. living his best life. did not so much as flinch. i could set off a smoke alarm next to his head. and me, i wake up if the baby so much as sighs three rooms away. we’ll come back to that little injustice.

my son has been getting up at 4:30, 5:00, 5:15, some cursed mornings 5:30, for MONTHS. so when i tell you i know exactly where you are right now, i mean i’m probably awake with you.

so here’s the thing. me getting on here to tell you to “sleep more” would be the single most useless thing one woman has ever said to another. you KNOW you’re not sleeping. you don’t need me as a little alarm clock reminding you of your own suffering.

so i’m not gonna do that.

i’m gonna teach you to sleep BETTER. more efficiently. because we do not have the hours, so we’re gonna squeeze everything out of the ones we get.

here’s the wild part. a woman who gets 5 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep will look and feel dramatically better than a woman who gets 7 broken up ones, waking every 90 minutes.

it’s not about how long you’re in the bed. it’s about the cycles.

But then motherhood is actually pretty hard. I don’t think we are supported by or understood by this patriarchal system.

Like I don’t know if it’s just me judging myself and projecting or feeling like people roll their eyes if you’re five minutes late and God forbid you mentioned that your baby needed you.

As if any other excuse, would’ve been more professional and better.

I’m also kind of sick constantly thinking that I’m offending people by just being myself.

My Instagram following is so big every day I post something that makes someone feel offended upset or whatever.

I’m really hoping this is going to be a place I can rant about stupid stuff.

I wanna connect with high-level high vibe women that are done playing small.

Say hi in the comments

i thought that was the price. i thought “stronger” just meant “more” forever until you either looked like the after photo or died.

reader. i got softer.

puffier. worse sleep. thicker waist. and obviously i doubled down because the entire fitness industry trained me to believe that if it’s not working the answer is always MORE.

more is a man thing. i’m sorry but it is.

here’s what no girl in a sports bra wants to say out loud:

a woman’s body, slammed with high intensity every day, on no sleep, with a nervous system already running hot from literally existing... does not read all that as “getting fit.”

it reads it as “we are being chased.”

every. single. day.

and a body that thinks it’s being hunted HOLDS ON. to the fat, the fluid, all of it. because letting go is not safe when you’re running for your life at 6am orangetheory.

so you grind harder and your body grips tighter and you call yourself lazy while objectively doing the most. say it out loud, it’s insane.

there’s a thing called the minimum effective dose. it’s the smallest amount of something that gets you the full result. anything past that isn’t bonus points. it’s just damage.

for most of us the minimum effective dose of hard training is WAY less than what we’re doing. and that whole gap between what you’re doing and what you actually need? not building muscle. just spiking your cortisol and keeping the weight exactly where it is. cute.

when i cut my training down i was, on paper, the laziest i’d been in years.

i got leaner. stronger. waist came back. slept like a baby. stopped dying at 3pm.

doing LESS did what doing more never could. because the dose finally matched the body.

so this is your permission slip. you’re allowed to do less and get more. lift heavy 2-3x a week, walk a ton, and quit punishing yourself in a dark room while a watch screams your heart rate at you.

you’re not unfit. you’re overstimulated and under recovered and the fix is the literal opposite of what they sold you.

a woman who trains for her actual biology gets hotter AND stronger AND less exhausted at the same time. that’s not a trade. that’s just what happens when you stop running his program.

i love you. go do less today i’m dead serious.

xx, Aggie

P.S. the exact dose, like how many lifts, how much walking, what to do on do-nothing days, and how to move around your cycle without it being a whole personality... that’s the paid one. but the permission is free. start with the permission.

so i spent my entire twenties eating like a man. not on purpose. i just did whatever the lean confident guy on the internet told me to do.

cold plunges. 16 hour fasts. carbs are the devil. all of it.

and i was tired. puffy. anxious. somehow SOFTER than when i started.

so naturally i decided i was the problem. (we always decide we’re the problem. it’s our toxic trait.)

and then one day i actually looked up who invented the diets i’d been failing.

no for real, sit down for this.

13 of the 15 most famous diets in HISTORY were created by men.

keto. paleo. medical medium. go down the list, it reads like the guest list at a golf club. rich older men, mostly white, handing us a scorecard for a sport we’re not even playing.

and here’s the part that actually unhinged me.

until 1993?? women didn’t have to be in medical studies. especially if you had a period. too “complicated.” our hormones made the data messy.

so they studied men. built everything on men. and handed it to us like it was the gospel.

everything you think you know about food was tested on a dude.

ok now flip it. imagine the default diet on earth was built around a 28 day cycle. and we walked up to men like “hi i know you don’t have a cycle but just eat like you do, you’ll be fine, trust”

they would LAUGH. they’d call us delusional. and they’d be right!!

my account is 98% women btw. ninety eight percent. men do not show up to learn how to eat for a female body because they know deep in their bones it has nothing to do with theirs.

so why have we been doing the reverse for thirty years.

you are not lazy. i watched you meal prep on a sunday with a baby on your hip. you followed his plan to the GRAM.

the plan was trash. it was built in a lab full of male data and sold to you with an after photo of a woman whose hormones look nothing like yours.

when you stop eating like a man it all gets quiet. the cravings. the weight thing. the little voice going “why am i doing everything right and nothing’s happening.”

and you get to be the version of you with her energy and her hotness back. not because you finally suffered enough. because you finally threw out the wrong instruction manual.

this is the whole reason i wrote the book. biohack like a woman. 200k copies, 15 languages. because i could not WATCH one more brilliant woman blame herself for a game that was rigged before she was born.

you were never failing the diet.

the diet was failing you. on purpose. by design. for like thirty years.

anyway. welcome. you’re in the right room now.

i love you.

xx, Aggie

P.S. the 2 diets on that list that weren’t made by men? we’re gonna talk. and i’m gonna show you what eating for YOUR body actually looks like, plated, this friday. that one’s for paid besties because it’s the how, and the how i keep behind the curtain.

Peptide therapy is at the forefront of personalized medicine, offering a powerful way for women to optimize their health, wellness, and longevity. These short chains of amino acids act as precise signaling molecules, helping to regulate a vast array of bodily functions. From accelerating recovery and promoting fat loss to enhancing skin health and balancing hormones, the right peptides can be transformative. This guide explores the best and safest peptides for women, backed by scientific research.

Peptides for Recovery and Repair

Intense training, injuries, and the natural aging process can take a toll on the body. These peptides are renowned for their ability to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.

BPC-157

Accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, and gut lining; reduces inflammation. Particularly beneficial for women due to greater joint laxity from hormonal cycles.

TB-500

Promotes deep tissue and muscle repair, reduces fibrosis, and aids recovery from overuse injuries. Complements BPC-157 for comprehensive healing.

BPC-157 and TB-500 are often considered the gold standard recovery stack, helping active women train harder and recover faster while protecting against injury.

Peptides for Anti-Aging, Fat Loss, and Body Composition

As women age, hormonal shifts can lead to changes in body composition, including increased visceral fat and decreased lean muscle. These peptides can help restore a more youthful metabolic profile.

Peptide

Key Benefits for Women

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

A powerful combination that stimulates the body’s natural growth hormone (GH) release, leading to accelerated fat loss, improved skin elasticity, better sleep, and stronger hair and nails without androgenic side effects.

Tesamorelin

Specifically targets and reduces visceral fat, the dangerous fat surrounding organs that accumulates during menopause. It improves metabolic health and body composition.

Sermorelin

A gentle GHRH analog that enhances deep sleep, promotes fat loss, improves skin texture, and strengthens bones. It’s an excellent choice for long-term anti-aging and wellness.

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide

These GLP-1 receptor agonists are FDA-approved for weight management and are highly effective for women, especially during and after menopause, by regulating appetite and improving insulin sensitivity.

Peptides for Skin, Hair, and Sexual Health

These peptides offer targeted benefits for aesthetics and vitality, helping women look and feel their best.

Peptide

Key Benefits for Women

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)

Stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin density, and promotes hair growth by strengthening follicles.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

The only FDA-approved peptide for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women, working on the brain’s pathways to restore libido.

Collagen Peptides

While not a signaling peptide, oral collagen supplementation is a popular and effective way to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and nail strength.

Conclusion

Peptide therapy offers a sophisticated and personalized approach for women to address a wide range of health and wellness goals. From enhancing recovery and optimizing body composition to rejuvenating skin and restoring vitality, these powerful molecules can unlock a new level of well-being. However, it is crucial to work with a qualified medical professional to ensure safety, proper dosing, and the selection of high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade peptides.
