360° Health: Lifestyle Medicine, Psychology, and Religion

This timely conversation explores the growing interest in peptides—short chains of amino acids that act as natural messengers, helping cells communicate and supporting important functions such as muscle health, metabolism, sleep, recovery, and healthy aging. The discussion examines how peptides occur naturally in the body and certain foods, how oral peptides move through digestion, how they differ from synthetic or injectable forms, and why peptide science is attracting so much attention. It also highlights the future of peptide research and the passion that ultimately led to the development of MAKE Wellness.

Mimi Allen Biography

Mimi is a San Diego native with a background in pharmaceutical sales, plant-based wellness, and longevity science. She started her career in dermatological pharmaceutical sales, where she developed a strong foundation in skincare, health, and aging, which ultimately sparked her passion for optimizing wellness from the inside out.

She went on to gain hands on experience in the emerging CBD industry, further strengthening her dedication to natural, plant-derived wellness solutions. Today, Mimi is focused on MAKE Wellness, a company transforming the way we think about healthy aging, performance, and vitality through bioactive precision peptides derived from plants and food, designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural systems.

Attracted to MAKE’s science backed innovation and leadership in a fast-growing category, Mimi joined the company after recognizing both the strength of the research and the potential of this new frontier in wellness. MAKE Wellness achieved $117 million in revenue in its first year, highlighting the strong demand for its groundbreaking approach.

As a single mother of two sons, Mimi is deeply committed to supporting health-conscious adults, especially those 40 and older, who want to age well while preserving their energy, strength, mental clarity, appearance, and overall quality of life. She is passionate about sharing natural, science driven solutions that nourish the body from within and help people stay active and thriving for years to come.

It’s all about HEALTHSPAN and not lifespan.
