Dr. Peeke regularly contributes to and is quoted in numerous magazines. Author of numerous books, her bestselling, Fight Fat After Forty, presented groundbreaking research describing how chronic stress contributes to weight gain and threatens the length and quality of life after the age of forty, Dr. Peeke has become known as the scientist who first presented the scientific basis of the "stress-fat" connection to the American public, raising awareness about this potentially life threatening medical condition.

Dr. Peeke's newest book is Body for Life for Women: A Woman's Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation. According to Peeke, "women are up to their ovaries in stress" as they try to care give everyone in their lives. As consummate ruminators and perfectionists, women are psychologically hard wired to make their quest for self care even more difficult. Peeke's experience in working with women of all ages proved to her that women have unique female traits that prevent them from keeping both physically and mentally fit. "I knew from my practice that the most successful plan for today's women would factor in the realities of a woman's whole life-the full-time job, the endless care giving, the stress that comes with trying to do it all," Peeke writes. "And, most clearly of all, it would address the issues of emotional eating and poor body image-issues with which many women struggle on a daily basis."
