0:54Speaker 0Welcome back to the pepatide of the week podcast. I'm your host JD Denham.
0:58Speaker 0Across the way my buddy William T Haas. Happy Friday. 0 Busy
1:04Speaker 0Friday. Like always, it's never not a busy Friday. We've been going through a lot, but,
1:09Speaker 0life's good. What's it? What else is new, dude?
1:12Speaker 2Your life. Okay. So
1:14Speaker 2my girlfriend
1:16Speaker 2and-
1:17Speaker 2Fiance? Fiance. Well, no, no, because I have not asked her for the request. I have, the ring is being made.
1:24Speaker 2So I'm waiting for that. It's been a while too. It's been a little, I should have it now. And then I've been thinking about like, we've gone to Hawaii every year for the last 3 years.
1:32Speaker 2And
1:33Speaker 2with her family, we went with my mom 1 time, me, my mom, her,
1:38Speaker 2River, the 9 year old. And he, so we had a blast. My mother actually is like a free spirit. So when we said, hey, can you like watch him for the day? And so what River wants to do is run around the little lazy thing and jump off the rocks where it says, do not jump off the rocks. Of course. And so Allie's always complaining at him. We leave my leave in with my mom
2:00Speaker 2and we come back. They come back 2 hours later and my mom has been like, okay, so I tested it out.
2:07Speaker 2The rocks are fine.
2:09Speaker 2I taught him how to do flips. So he's good. He's like, say he's doing the flips into the water off of the rocks.
2:16Speaker 2That's just literally how my mom always taught me. She's like, you don't,
2:20Speaker 2But she's like, completely,
2:21Speaker 2I don't obey rules unless they make sense. And that's what I was taught. That's how I was taught. Like Love that. You don't obey any rule
2:28Speaker 2if it doesn't make any sense. So see a trespassing sign? That just means it's probably a cool place to be. These people aren't using the the land. Like, because we just went camping for my whole punked everywhere.
2:39Speaker 0Yeah. She's such a good spirit. She's she's a good spirit. Her her vibe, she's got my my wife's vibe. It's just she just lights up a room. She does. She's a
2:48Speaker 2good human. She's negative. Nothing negative. Mm-mm. My father told me once, he's like, you know, you ever notice for all the faults and what I complain about your mother is
2:57Speaker 2try to remember. I still have never heard her say 1 bad thing about any person, about anything.
3:03Speaker 2Like she doesn't complain. She doesn't go, this is a stupid commercial. Yeah. Rare. And I thought about it, I'm like, God damn, that's pretty hard to literally
3:11Speaker 2not say anything bad about anybody
3:13Speaker 2at all. It's crazy.
3:16Speaker 0But yeah, right. It is kind of crazy, but like do, I get it. You know who I know that like that is, Scott, Doctor. Scott.
3:23Speaker 0I've
3:24Speaker 2known him most of my life. Never heard him say 1 negative thing about anybody. You're right. You're right. And in our conversations we've, I think we've had conversations where something like, Oh, this bad. And he doesn't like partake in that. Yeah. If he just goes, people talking shitty, he dips up.
3:38Speaker 2Okay. Good for him. So anyway, what's going on? I don't know where that came from, but yeah, my mom teaches him how to do the flips and Allie's like, oh,
3:47Speaker 2well. Anyway,
3:48Speaker 2he is now
3:50Speaker 2officially like enrolled in school, a block from our house. Sweet. Because she came from, like, RSM, Rancho Santa Margarita, which is 45 minutes away. So does his school, his, like, his private school. And,
4:02Speaker 2it's a pain in the ass. Like, it puts everybody in a bad mood. You gotta commute 45 minutes there and back. I can do it. Plus, it lowers the time at home to do homework and have fun. Right? So this is like sports home, homework bed. Right? That's no fun. And then it just raises everybody's stress levels. Plus
4:19Speaker 2I did this. I went to a private school in junior high and they gave us a 300 page packet of homework to do over the summer.
4:27Speaker 0What the
4:28Speaker 2he's a kid. Like, so the amount of homework that this 9 year old brings home every day is And
4:33Speaker 2I am all about, and I actually am all of like absolutely for
4:38Speaker 2academics
4:39Speaker 2and,
4:40Speaker 2school,
4:41Speaker 2but
4:42Speaker 2that's nuts. We should have let a kid be a kid more. Like, that's stupid. Yeah.
4:47Speaker 2So there's too much damn homework. So anyway, he will do a lot better. He'll, for the 1st time, have a community and like a neighborhood
4:53Speaker 2vibe, right? Like play sports with the kids he goes to school with, not just be a commuter.
4:58Speaker 2That's what I did in private school and I hated it until I finally got to go to a public school in high school.
5:04Speaker 2Yeah, it was a lot easier, but,
5:06Speaker 2but I got to do it. I got to, you know, play sports against people who are actually good and
5:10Speaker 2in this be back with the neighborhood and have a real sense of community. So that's exciting. Riding bikes, come home when the lights come on. Yeah.
5:18Speaker 2Those stories are legit. It was like, was like, that's what you can do. We got them actually a motor scooter just now. It's in my, it's in the office, hidden with a blanket over it. If he's dangerous,
5:28Speaker 0dude. Holy shit. Kids in my neighborhood,
5:32Speaker 0Those are cars, man. They don't know how to drive them and they're all over the road. I'm like, dude, I've always, like numerous times. Scare the crap. Yeah, it is crazy.
5:40Speaker 2It's a scooter at least. It's not an e bike. Okay.
5:43Speaker 2He, Albert, did no chance in hell getting in the e bike. He barely can ride a bike. He just learned how to ride a bike. Right. His dad never taught him how to ride a bike. He was he learned how to ride a bike about 3 months ago.
5:54Speaker 2I bought him a bike too 1 time to try to teach him and he didn't wanna do it. And I that night, I gave it to the poor kids down the street.
6:02Speaker 0Did he Oh,
6:05Speaker 2thank you. So the whole thing was proposing.
6:09Speaker 2I was thinking about doing the proposal in Hawaii,
6:12Speaker 2but then I don't really wanna wait 3 months after having the ring.
6:17Speaker 2It's we're not gonna do anything that's, like, extravagant.
6:20Speaker 2She did say just don't
6:22Speaker 2propose to me in a restaurant.
6:26Speaker 2At least she told you. Yeah. At least you don't. You probably would've. They probably would've. I've been like, well, it's a perfect way to do it. So she works in a restaurant too, so I think that's all she sees a lot. So I don't know. Maybe I'll wait till Hawaii, but that-
6:38Speaker 0don't know. Nobody's so different. Like, you know, Chad had a big like, I'm not, you know, and then like, I didn't have, I think I've told you this, but I didn't have people there to film and her family wanted me to. I'm like, not my style, man. I just wanted to propose.
6:50Speaker 0And I think I told you this, but, when I had proposed, I was nervous as hell. I knew she was gonna say yes, but I was still nervous. Got down on my knee, walking at a crystal cove. Nobody was around. Luckily
7:02Speaker 0a couple were kind of was trailing after I proposed to her and grabbed my phone and got some pictures and stuff because I was stoked that I actually had that because now we could relive that scene so to speak. And so
7:14Speaker 0I don't know if you at least have a budget. I'll do somewhere as well. Does it need to be professional? Yeah. You know? Yeah. Like,
7:21Speaker 0Amy, then I don't know if you saw Justin. Was there when he did that with his, fiance and we listened. I like went up and did the rose petals and hooked him up and duh, that was dope. It was romantic.
7:32Speaker 0I'm very simple. Yeah. Like just me and my chick, me and my wife, we're very simple.
7:37Speaker 0We did a huge wedding. I think it was more her family than like the usual. I would've like eloped just me and my girl, but you know, it's kind of depends on what they want.
7:47Speaker 2Luckily she does not want a big wedding.
7:50Speaker 2When I talked to her dad, her dad's like, you guys aren't going to be like dressed up in like tuxedos and shit. You? Mike Gunnar man.
7:57Speaker 2Cut off serious bro. Cause he thinks it's like, he's going to pay for it. No, that's not actually why
8:02Speaker 2Somebody had to announce. He's like, oh yeah, well, probably because he doesn't want to pay for it. I'm like, oh, that's a good thought. But no, I think that we will have a wedding where we will not be wearing shoes.
8:12Speaker 0Cool.
8:13Speaker 2So whatever that is, whatever that takes, that means it's just laid back and chill. And if it's gonna be a like we did think about destination wedding, right? But
8:21Speaker 2if we do that, I will be paying for everybody who's invited. I hate it
8:27Speaker 2that you invite you make a destination wedding
8:29Speaker 2and expect everybody to drop $5 on plane tickets and hotels for you. So I don't like that. So if we're going to do that, then I better invite not a lot of people. I don't
8:40Speaker 2End up spending $300,000
8:42Speaker 0on a wedding. Yeah. I mean, I 1st wedding, was
8:46Speaker 0We were early
8:47Speaker 020s and had no money. We did 40, it was 40 the city of,
8:52Speaker 0what was it?
8:54Speaker 0Laguna, I think it was over the cliffs. Gorgeous. It looks Have you been to cliffs there? It looks like Hawaii. I mean, it's absolutely gorgeous there. And, the city
9:05Speaker 2literally comes and counts. You can have 40 people, which was great. We were broken. Was just immediate family and it was dope. Well, I think that literally showed me an article and I think that they're banning weddings now. Really? And 1 of the big sites there, there was like a big protest group. That's the,
9:21Speaker 2they are, they're protesting
9:23Speaker 2all of the flower petals
9:25Speaker 2are,
9:26Speaker 2damaging
9:27Speaker 2the ocean and the sand. Oh man.
9:30Speaker 0The world we live in.
9:32Speaker 2And I am actually a good environmentalist.
9:34Speaker 2Like I do believe in the environment. That's crazy.
9:39Speaker 0I'm gonna get back to your mom on just that way of thinking, because that's right. I'm gonna teach my sons to do that. Like if that rule steps outside of your integrity,
9:47Speaker 0don't fault. Don't fault. It's a little punk rocky, but you know I mean? But it means you need to have a good head on your shoulders and be able to interpret roles right. But verify.
9:57Speaker 0People are full of shit. But
10:00Speaker 0yeah, so my son,
10:01Speaker 02 today, my little chunker. Oh, that's right. Oh man. It's
10:05Speaker 0crazy how
10:07Speaker 0I have 3 kids and 2 granddaughters. I just had a granddaughter 2 days ago. So lot of life going on in my family.
10:14Speaker 0But my son's radically different. My son Mason is the 1st brown haired kid that I had. I've had 2 toe heads
10:21Speaker 0and he came out of the womb just hungry. And Jack's is just for the athletic and Mason just loves to eat, dude. That kid loves to eat, but he's also my little lover, dude. He's just,
10:32Speaker 0cuddle up on me. So we get to celebrate him this weekend. My wife, you know, does she
10:39Speaker 0is the party planner extraordinaire.
10:41Speaker 0I don't look at all the things that she buys because I'm like, you must be rich. Like
10:48Speaker 0she gets
10:50Speaker 0balloon man, a face painter. I could go on and on. I'm like, in the world he's 2? But
10:55Speaker 0anyway, she likes to do that. Do you need those
10:58Speaker 2outdoor heaters back?
11:00Speaker 0Think it's supposed to rain a little bit on Sunday, which she's all bummed, but it is what it is. Do you still does she have 1 of those, like, is she getting the blow up pools? Of course. Okay. Good. Who cares? The kids will just who cares? If it rains on them, they're fine. It's their kids, man. It'll be fun. It'll be, we haven't had people over in quite some time, so that will be cool, but, that's the good stuff.
11:20Speaker 2Got an awesome backyard for it too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's got just this
11:25Speaker 2big old backyard with fire pit built into the middle of the yard
11:29Speaker 2and Orange
11:31Speaker 2County. Then a cliff on the other side where there's a big park canyon park where I used to walk my dog. I would walk my dog and like throw pine cones up there at Brett's house.
11:40Speaker 2I'd be like, Hey, did you ever have pine cones just lobbed in your yard? You ever noticed that? I
11:45Speaker 0was on the phone with Brett 1 time when it was super windy on the phone, literally Brett.
11:49Speaker 0And he's like, man,
11:51Speaker 0it is so windy. I'm like, and I
11:54Speaker 0was talking to him. He said, dude, my neighbor has a trampoline in their tree. And how ironic was I was looking at my office goes, looks outside to the backyard. And
12:05Speaker 0as he said that I go, Where's my trampoline? My trampoline's gone.
12:10Speaker 0It wasn't that trampoline because he didn't live anywhere close to me, but like the wind took my trampoline and took it somewhere.
12:16Speaker 0Did you ever get it back or was it broken? We looked in the canyons and figured like- You literally couldn't drive jumping on it or something.
12:22Speaker 0Know, but they weren't. Somebody has it. So anyways, my wife bought a new 1 and Jared comes out to
12:30Speaker 0put it together. Cause I was working, just put
12:33Speaker 0it together all wonky.
12:35Speaker 2Jared. And

12:56Speaker 0like safe and healthy and the kid is good. Yeah. So she's healthy. My daughter is a, it's crazy when your daughter has a daughter daughters,
13:04Speaker 0but you know, life gave me another swing and I'm glad I have boys because daughters are hard. Yeah.
13:10Speaker 2Teens are like,
13:11Speaker 2woah,
13:12Speaker 0But like kids, boys are hard now. 3 5 and 2? Yeah.
13:17Speaker 0Dude. Yes. It is just freaking kidding. They just want to run around and break My God. My
13:24Speaker 0God. 15 minutes at this office. And it's like the office is in shambles.
13:28Speaker 0But then boys were here. I don't see. Dude, you know, this is gonna be cool thing is like that, like, I'm going to try to work on like, you know, kind of living like your mom where it's like, you know, I always had the most patience. I'm working on that stuff, but like let them be boys, boys. Need to break shit, dude. They need to climb shit. They're going to probably break their arms and they're going to rob, but they need to test the limits of stuff. They're full of testosterone
13:48Speaker 0and we support that in our family. You know what I mean? Not just sit in a chair for 8 hours and like study some shit. You're going to like, forget
13:57Speaker 2like, like your mom, like she touched it, feel it. That's what my wife is good at. Like she will she's like right now with she's like the science, she's some science thing. That's cool. She would take me there all the time. Have this Pacific science center in Seattle. That's how you learn. Absolutely. It was great. That's great. And right, with River the other day, we had a dresser that has been out not used for a long time. I'm like, dude, I'm done with this dresser. I said, River, come here. You're gonna help me take the trash out. He's like, I'm like, come on. Grab the axe. You're gonna we get to break some shit. And he's like, okay. Alright. Yeah. And so I put the dresser in the side and gave him an axe. Luckily, he put his baseball helmet on because I could just see this thing go bounce
14:35Speaker 2right back at him. And then he got to just just beat the hell out of this dresser, just destroy it, break it down so then I could just nicely put it in the garbage can. His mom came out about 9 times and was like, don't do that. Why? I'm like Yeah. Stuff. He's a boy. Like, he needs this 100%. And literally it was like, that's the most fun I've had in so long. Know this is what they needed. The boys just need, he needs to, they need like, they just need to be able to, yeah, loud noises
15:02Speaker 0break should use their strengths. I try to catch myself 3 when I'm like getting irritated. I'm like they're boys, dude. Yeah. Break some shit guys fighting on out. They're fighting all the time. They're gonna be, it's gonna be Mason's gonna beat him. Beat Jack's up somewhat soon. He's my
15:18Speaker 0son. Jack's was like so daring. Like he was so ballsy when he was literally kind of turned into a little crybaby. I'm trying to, I got him toughen this kid up.
15:26Speaker 0Mason's gonna whoop his ass. I'm like, Jack's gonna eat your food. Mason's gonna kick your butt dude. Like, so Mason will walk by and like bash him in the head with a toy and then Josh starts crying. I'm like, hit him back, dude. Yeah. You're his older brother. I was like, what? I'm like, dude, they're gonna be brawling, dude, whatever. Yeah.
15:42Speaker 0So they'll learn to settle in. So anyways. My sister did. I mean, judge right now, you listeners, hear you. Yeah.
15:51Speaker 2Sister's got an older boy. Who's not,
15:54Speaker 2I don't know. He's like borderline the gas burgers. Right. And then, and then the younger daughter, and I remember we were in Hawaii 1 time and the boy came up to mom and said, hey. It's like she took my she took my airplane crying. She's like, you're her older brother. Take it back. Yeah. Don't
16:12Speaker 2come crying to me about this.
16:14Speaker 0Anyway. No crying a lot. I always say, this is the no crying section. You can cry all you want in your room. This is no crying section. Wow.
16:22Speaker 0Now that 1 you might get judged on, but whatever. It is what it is. Not perfect. No asshole. You gotta people know you know when you go out there, but can't cry. I'm like, listen, dude, I'm a father at 1st, so they can't Here's the thing with the crying, it's like, dude, especially the pain crying.
16:35Speaker 2Ugh. You fucking hurt yourself crying. Other than that, dude, stop crying. I think that, like, real I mean, kids cry about everything, and just attention. So that's very, so that's good. But now as an adult, like pain is not in, does not trigger a crying response
16:49Speaker 2for an adult. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But not for me. Right? The only thing that triggers a crying response is like my dog dying. Yeah. Like real emotional thing. So I don't know if the kids
17:00Speaker 2I get scared, but the scaredness, this pain, they think it should hurt. So it's crazy with always with kids. Right? They do something. If you look at them and go, oh my gosh, are you okay? Yeah. Bam. Cry. And for me, If you go, get up. You're fine. Yeah. I do not like it all time. Well, he didn't wanna go. You gotta hear us being a little butthole when he came, like, throwing a little fit and, like, he didn't wanna do jiu jitsu. And I'm like so I talked to him.
17:23Speaker 0He ends up getting a stripe. Right? So I tell him after I said, listen, if you didn't go, you wouldn't have got that stripe.
17:28Speaker 0And 2, there's another, there's another father there that runs a kickboxing class and he's cool. He's really hard on the son, you know, and like, I like that type of stuff. It makes, it makes him a man. So
17:37Speaker 0he, his son was kind of messing around,
17:40Speaker 0made him stay after class and they ran around the
17:44Speaker 0thing, like think 6 times. So I was going to do that with Jackson yesterday. Was gonna literally put my shoes on and be like, listen, you're either going to GJ 2, you're not going to play complain or I'm you and I are running around this and you're going to run around this parking lot 6 times. So we ended up going to, I was literally going do it because I thought that guy could get that. I'm like, well, that's, that's good. So,
18:03Speaker 0especially when you do it with him, I will do it with him because I'm gonna teach him that I'm gonna do it too. Well, I say this a lot. I mean, I'm not gonna ever ask anybody to do something that I wouldn't do. For sure. And I'm gonna teach him that you're gonna either do it or you're gonna do something else harder.
18:17Speaker 0Toughness will suck her up. That
18:19Speaker 2was good. Good view. Shit, when I was in college football, if you were injured, like you had to do the most humiliating
18:25Speaker 2things like Oh, really? You literally so if you were injured and you weren't practicing, you had to gear up full pads. You may not take your helmet off,
18:32Speaker 2stand on that sideline. You also had to but 1st you had to gear up helmet on and go into the training room. And if you had an injured right leg, you're on the bike with your 1 leg inside wearing all of your gear.
18:45Speaker 2It sure makes you be like, okay, dude, I'm good. Like, I'm gonna go run. Can I play? Going back on the field. I remember those days.
18:53Speaker 0I never missed the game.
18:56Speaker 2Yeah. Played hurt. Yep. Absolutely. Was in college. You start to realize like, man. Oh, I freaking loved it. Yes. We all done it right. And I broke my thumb. My thumb was in my wrist. Hear I was like in the huddle, like, I think something's wrong.
20:01Speaker 0So
20:02Speaker 0dig into it, man. Tell us a little bit about NAD.
20:04Speaker 2We have a graphic here. And 1st
20:08Speaker 2of all, I guess the big thing is, is so NAD is a co enzyme, right? It is not actually a peptide, but
20:16Speaker 2semantics,
20:17Speaker 2whatever. It
20:19Speaker 2is, I'm not gonna even say the name. Yeah, that's rough. Nicotinamide
20:24Speaker 2adenosine,
20:25Speaker 2I don't know, something more than that. But it's everywhere. It's everywhere in your body. Like, everything
20:31Speaker 2depends

22:22Speaker 2cellular repair and just repair as our cells slowly die off, right? NAD is gonna repair them
22:27Speaker 2so they don't die as fast. Guess what? We are old because
22:32Speaker 2all of our cells are dying and not regenerating fast. They always kind of regenerate, right? But they're not growing back and they're not regenerating building to what they once were. So it's kind like
22:45Speaker 0if you're taking it like SubQ, you're injecting
22:49Speaker 0autophagy,
22:50Speaker 0a dye
22:51Speaker 0off or repair. So
22:53Speaker 2kind of, because it's going to repair those. That's I say, that's why I guess the tag as antiaging because it repairs the DNA. Yep. And like FOXO-four folks, we don't ever really talk about that, but that that's that peptide's job is to just clear away dead cells. So it's kind of a nice mix on things where, like cells will die. I don't care if you're taking NAD,
23:11Speaker 2your cells are always dying and replicating,
23:13Speaker 2but this helps repair like DNA
23:16Speaker 2repair.
23:17Speaker 2Okay.
23:18Speaker 2It will, and absolutely, it's gonna help your brain, your brain health, right? It's neuroprotective.
23:22Speaker 2You people will notice
23:24Speaker 2more mental clarity,
23:27Speaker 2you know,
23:28Speaker 2sharper,
23:30Speaker 2thoughts, which my brain isn't working right now. We just talked about this whole thing before and we both said, shit, I gotta, I gotta take a little bit more and it's time for me to get back on. It's been a while, which I will like tonight starting now.
23:44Speaker 2Heart metabolism, it's going to improve insulin sensitivity, right? Better control your lipids, which is your fats
23:50Speaker 2and your cardiovascular function.
23:53Speaker 2Everybody wants their heart to work better, regulates inflammatory pathways and supports immune
23:58Speaker 2cell responses, everything
24:01Speaker 2in longevity genes,
24:03Speaker 2regulating
24:04Speaker 2healthy aging. So
24:07Speaker 2there are, what's this, what's this stat here? There's 500,
24:10Speaker 2there's 500 enzymatic reactions depend on NAD plus it's everywhere in your body. I mean, obviously everything is made of cells, but
24:18Speaker 2our body depends on NAD and it functions
24:21Speaker 2very well with a lot with, with good levels of NAD.
24:25Speaker 0And
24:26Speaker 2it's important everywhere.
24:29Speaker 2The, this is an interesting graph. So I, this is something actually new to me. NAD
24:34Speaker 2declines dramatically with age. Okay.
24:37Speaker 2I wish I can. I'll tell you what this is later, but so at birth a 100% age, 82%
24:42Speaker 2age, 55%
24:44Speaker 2age, 60, 34%.
24:48Speaker 2That's a huge drop off. And
24:51Speaker 2therefore we're meant to have this
24:53Speaker 0probably 80 to 100 percent. 3 Okay. NAD plus you go down, let's talk about that for a 2nd. So as you go down where you're losing NAD, you got fatigue.
25:02Speaker 0You're to have obviously the typical brain fog. You're going to just kind of just be obviously tired.
25:07Speaker 0So if
25:09Speaker 0in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and you don't take this, it's time to-
25:13Speaker 2get to the 80.
25:15Speaker 2As you write late 30s, it's time to take NAD. I
25:19Speaker 0always tell people,
25:21Speaker 0you know, if we just always slow down and use our brains and think logical, Like to the, to the, to the compounds that most
25:28Speaker 0movie stars take
25:30Speaker 0are HGH
25:32Speaker 0entity. Why? Because they freaking work. Why would they take it? Because somebody a lot 1 more intelligent than them told them to take it because it's for anti-3s. And they
25:43Speaker 2have- The top of the knot line. More resources depend on them being in shape and right now.
25:48Speaker 0So if they do it, they probably should do it. That's why I love HGH and I'm NAD. So there's all the kind of basic,
25:56Speaker 2basic functions.
25:58Speaker 2Then talking about, there's a couple of ways to take into it. People have heard about these. There's with BPC NAD plus oral pills.
26:07Speaker 2You can go to a med spa and get a, like an NAD drip. So they tap into your actual vein
26:13Speaker 2and with a bag and drip it in there.
26:16Speaker 2Or you can buy the peptide vial, right, and reconstitute
26:21Speaker 2and draw up and SubQ injection yourself.
26:24Speaker 2Frankly,
26:26Speaker 2the pills not
26:28Speaker 2worthwhile folks. Would just not waste your time with the true NAD plus finished product pills. The
26:35Speaker 2so the
26:36Speaker 2SubQ version is, well, it's a 100% bioavailable in your body, right? You
26:41Speaker 2it actually helps you with you absorb it real fast, but it sustains release. It stays in you a little bit a lot longer. And the name of the game, I guess, is still just kind of level. We want, we want level amounts
26:52Speaker 2versus an IV drip. We're just blasting a whole bunch in you at 1 time, and
26:57Speaker 2then you're stopping,
26:58Speaker 2okay, for a while. So my suggestion is subQ
27:02Speaker 2route
27:03Speaker 2daily or 3 days a week, for sure.
27:06Speaker 2It's going to be a lot better. Also the
27:09Speaker 2pills tend to mess up some people's GI tracts and have
27:12Speaker 2issues there.
27:14Speaker 2Again, cognitive clarity, energy, stamina, sleep recovery, cellular repair, the whole thing about cellular repair, right? The,
27:23Speaker 2and back to that other graph, right? This is why
27:27Speaker 2we get old guys. We get old. We look old because our because our DNA, our genes, and our cells
27:34Speaker 2just don't grow as strong. They don't repair as well. So, I mean, this just says it all. I'm
27:40Speaker 2gonna be doing a lot of a lot more NAD folks, and
27:44Speaker 2I notice it. You do? I know a lot of people I don't quite
27:48Speaker 2I didn't right off the bat notice the mental
27:51Speaker 2energy,
27:52Speaker 2but I had noticed the look like after 2 months of taking it, my skin looks like tighter. Yeah.
27:58Speaker 2And I have more physical energy and just feel a bit, feel better. Yeah.
28:03Speaker 0I think because
28:04Speaker 0we, a lot of people start with the 2, we call them gateway drugs for lack of a better way to say it. BPC-five
28:11Speaker 0hundred, if you have an injury and then you try those, you're like, wow, that does amazing or GLP-1s,
28:16Speaker 0which are instant gratification.
28:19Speaker 0So you start there, but most peptides,
28:22Speaker 0most of the rest are not going to be the instant gratification where you feel it really necessarily.
28:27Speaker 0Need to take them for months
28:29Speaker 0for most. And it's not like you feel it. Oh wow, I feel the NAD. I mean, you can, but you're just going to notice that you look better. HGH is noticing you can burn fat better all of a sudden. That's
28:42Speaker 0how most peptides
28:44Speaker 0are. We're
28:45Speaker 0humans and we are programmed to want instant gratification.
28:49Speaker 0And that's just not how most of us oftentimes
28:52Speaker 2you notice these a lot when you stop taking them. You don't really expect that was happened to me earlier. Yeah, I
28:59Speaker 2took HGH for a while. I'm like, I don't even know what it's really doing. Is it doing? Then I stop and a month later I go down. Now I know what it was doing. Holy shit. Like I've, it's so much, my body was so much more forgiving on it, you know? But now if I'm off whatever I eat, okay, I can see that affecting me negatively. Whereas before it would just burn everything off. So it was kind of somewhat similar to NAD.
29:24Speaker 2So look at the bottom here,
29:26Speaker 2suggested dosages for kind of different uses, right? General wellness.
29:31Speaker 2And I will put a caveat guys.
29:34Speaker 2They do the doctors. So a typical like IV drip and doctors are giving 2 50 micrograms, but most commonly 500
29:41Speaker 2mg, excuse me, milligram, 500 mg, even 1000 mg
29:45Speaker 2in a bag and giving it to you in 1 session.
29:49Speaker 2That's a lot, right? So thousand milligrams. Now it needs to be over several hours because
29:54Speaker 2NAD
29:55Speaker 2burns. If you squeeze the IV bag and get it into you faster, it will burn like hell. So you want to slow drip it, but
30:03Speaker 2you can you can take a lot if it's tolerated for the individual. So general wellness down here, like 15, 25 mgs,
30:10Speaker 23 days a week. Work your way up. All of these, you do not start at any of these doses that you see folks
30:16Speaker 2anti aging longevity,
30:17Speaker 250 mg
30:19Speaker 2to 200 mg. There are
30:23Speaker 2research and clinicians
30:25Speaker 2like
30:26Speaker 2telling people, Hey, up to 200 Migs,
30:29Speaker 2right? 3 days a week. That's a lot. That's a lot.
30:31Speaker 2Cognitive
30:32Speaker 2performance,
30:33Speaker 225 to 75 mg daily to 3 days a week. That sounds right.
30:38Speaker 2Recovering
30:39Speaker 2fatigue,
30:40Speaker 2100 mg to 200 mg as needed. And
30:44Speaker 2then this actually says clinical and must be administered by a like medical professional, 500 mg
30:50Speaker 2daily,
30:52Speaker 2but that we're talking about is the IV bag. Okay.
30:55Speaker 2So 500 to 1000, I've known people who've done the thousand
30:59Speaker 2with a doctor.
31:01Speaker 2Then we have a little bit more details on this. So how do you, so you will see. So as far as the peptide is concerned, this is kind of what we're here talking about is you're buying your bottle with
31:12Speaker 2lyophilized powder. Okay? You'll see 2 50 mg, you'll see 500 mg, 1000 mg. So I really just have 500 mg and thousand here. So 500 mg, let's make life easy. These should always come in a bigger bottle because
31:27Speaker 2you need to add a decent amount of water in. If you have 500 mg,
31:31Speaker 2add 5 mils of water. If you do that, then it makes it very easy. 1 unit is even a 1 mg. Yeah. Right? So 10 units is 10 mg.
31:41Speaker 2The
31:43Speaker 2thousand milligram bottle,
31:45Speaker 2you're going to add 10 mils of water and therefore the conversion or that same ratio is the exact same. Also people, you will see your
31:54Speaker 2NAD usually in an
31:57Speaker 2amber bottle. People ask me all the time, why is that? Well, it's to block light. So
32:03Speaker 2NAD is particularly sensitive to light. It is not particularly sensitive to heat. So storing at room temp is is just fine. It can't be too hot, but like it doesn't need to be refrigerated. And in fact, it's probably a good idea to even
32:18Speaker 2draw it up, then kind of leave your, leave the syringe, let it warm up to room temp. And as you inject, it will burn a little bit less
32:25Speaker 2suggested tip. So on the 500
32:28Speaker 2on both of these,
32:30Speaker 2I personally generally think like 25 to 50 mg,
32:34Speaker 23 times a week is about where a person wants to be. Okay. Now
32:39Speaker 2start though at probably 10 mg,
32:42Speaker 2I would start my 1st dose would be 10 mg and I would bump up by either 5 or 10 until I get to 25 or get to 50 where you want to stop at. If you do too much, and I personally have done too much accidentally
32:56Speaker 2early on, I think I did like 80 mg, like this 3rd, 2nd and 3rd shot, and
33:02Speaker 2I did that in my stomach.
33:04Speaker 2As soon as I did it, I got some tingling in my hands and feet, and it rushed up and became way more intense,
33:11Speaker 2and my nasal cavity just went,
33:15Speaker 2bam, just
33:16Speaker 2closed and flamed like this, like, boom. I was sitting down luckily and luckily I've been through some weird shit before, but I literally had my phone in my hand. I remember in this stuff, the wave of tingling just
33:28Speaker 2easy
33:29Speaker 2and tense and I was paralyzed. I remember trying to like flex my hand and my stomach and like nothing would work. Woah. Brain was done and I just, so just
33:38Speaker 0breathe. This is how it is. This is how it ends. No. This
33:42Speaker 2ain't going to kill me, but I just breathe through it. I know that I've done some dumb things in my life, but if I was a normal person,
33:49Speaker 2would have scared the hell out of me for sure. And
33:53Speaker 2I thought, okay, hey, if I get, if I'm passing out anymore, I do have a friend who's upstairs. Better, let's see if I can get a yell out, but I'm not gonna do that quite yet. We'll ride it out. That lasted about 15, 20 seconds or so. And then it slowly
34:06Speaker 2went away.
34:08Speaker 2My nose took a couple hours to like unclog.
34:11Speaker 2Oh, wow. And so don't do too much right off the bat.
34:15Speaker 2So when we say if tolerated,
34:18Speaker 2that means you're gonna you need to slowly increase. Now you're you build a bit of a tolerance, but I know people who say, dude, I love doing NAD where my, where I want to do my dose is where I do it and I get tingly,
34:30Speaker 2but they're not talking about overwhelming tingly. Okay.
34:33Speaker 2So that's okay. It's not a bad sign. You just need to know where to draw the line. Capture.
34:40Speaker 0Now
34:41Speaker 2I do know a 100%. I know people that are doing 100 mg every day.
34:46Speaker 2They're
34:48Speaker 0still alive. I was doing 50. I was doing 50 pretty probably 6, or 7 days a week. I was doing it at 02:00. Because we've
34:56Speaker 0talked about it before, but when I hadn't been taking it, but as Will said, I'd probably start taking it again because it's been a while and
35:03Speaker 0it's so awesome, it does so much.
35:07Speaker 0But our good friend Paul was coming on next week again is, he had suggested to take it at 2 instead of coffee because I'm a 02:00
35:14Speaker 0crash coffee guy. I get up so early and
35:17Speaker 0it worked great. And that's when I would take it. And I would take, I would kind of settle that 50 megs daily and it worked great for me. And, know, often starting this, I have heard, and I know that this can happen when you're 1st starting,
35:30Speaker 2it can actually do a little reverse job on you and you can feel a little bit tired. The 1st couple of doses, similar to growth hormone. When you start growth, you do feel man, a little life worn out for the 1st couple of weeks. If you just move through that, it will go away.
35:43Speaker 2Your body is doing and repairing a lot of things that it's not used to. So it's burning off, well, it's burning some extra calories, you know, rebuilding your cells in the part of HGH, like rebuilding muscles.
35:55Speaker 2So that takes maybe a little toll at the beginning, but just ride it out and it should be fine.
36:01Speaker 2Again, IV IV drips here,
36:04Speaker 2500 mg to 1000 mg in 1 session faster this session, the more it burns.
36:09Speaker 2So how about this? Here's NAD for me personally
36:13Speaker 2burns like a son of a bitch and like almost to the point where I don't want to do it.
36:18Speaker 2So I use no sting water and it works perfect.
36:21Speaker 2And that makes it a 100% bearable, but warming it up, injecting slower,
36:26Speaker 2Injecting in, just let it slowly kind of go in is gonna burn a whole lot less. It's also doing that inevitably is going to reduce the risk of any type of reaction because you have your
36:37Speaker 2histamines,
36:38Speaker 2if you put a whole bunch in, you get a whole bunch more of a histamine response. Right? They come rushing to the party. If you do just a little bit at a time, you're not going to get as many histamines all at once. So a tip for other things as well.
36:50Speaker 0Yeah. Testosterone is like that for a lot of people, a lot of people will just, if you just go slow,
36:56Speaker 0you get a lesser chance that you're going to get PIP because you're going super slow instead of just blasting all that oil into that section. It's the same thing with testosterone. You do too much too fast, absolutely can start to make you better. I know people even got sick.
37:10Speaker 2Which is pretty much hormone
37:12Speaker 2hitting you all at once. It's a shock to your body. Sure. Everybody's so radically different. So Will's talked about having a
37:19Speaker 2stinging forever.
37:21Speaker 2I
37:22Speaker 2remember when you had done that, I wasn't there, but I remember when you did it because you were talking about it.
37:28Speaker 0I've just never had that experience and it has never stung for me, you know? So,
37:33Speaker 2it's everybody's just so radically different, You can do this stuff, intravascular tube. Want to just pop it in your thigh? Yeah. Like similar to Glutathione. That's what I do. You can. Yeah.
37:43Speaker 2So there we go with NAD.
37:46Speaker 0It's great. If you've not done it and you're listening to this, you'd need to do it. Like 1 of the things that most people should start with is Epitalon, you know, and get that done. Then, but NAD is a must.
37:55Speaker 0It's a must.
37:57Speaker 0Generally speaking, just
37:59Speaker 0like if you put too much water, it's not exact on anything. You don't ruin the compound.
38:06Speaker 0Generally speaking, I think we've always kind of go in cycles of 1000 mg. We've always kind of gone off that kind of, you know, we've changed in the beginning, I think, much we were telling Okay,
38:16Speaker 0fair enough. Run it through a true cycle of 1000 megs, maybe take a month off and then run another however long it takes you to do 1000 megs.
38:25Speaker 0That's of, you kind of go by that. It's kind of worked well. That's worked well. Yeah. So like however many, if you need to, yeah,
38:32Speaker 2if you buy just a bottle, 1000 mg bottle,
38:35Speaker 2there's no time limit on it. If it takes you 6 months, it takes you 6 months. Right? But if you can finish that in a month while you're doing a lot, but that's okay. We did discuss
38:45Speaker 21 good idea is, Hey, in between 1000 mg, right? Give yourself a little break. So
38:51Speaker 22 to 4 weeks.
38:53Speaker 2And in
38:54Speaker 2between there's take the oral NMN,
38:57Speaker 2which is not NAD plus So NMN is the precursor to NAD plus So you take that, body starts being able to gives building materials essentially to make more NAD plus. So in the midst of that, in the midst of that 1, pull up the next slide. In
39:13Speaker 2the midst of that,
39:15Speaker 2in that break time period, NMN
39:18Speaker 2almost like it was a post cycle riot, just like replenishing your body with the building materials for NAD and then repeat.
39:24Speaker 0I would say- Yeah. Over the little like
39:27Speaker 0way to do this would be maybe run NAD
39:30Speaker 0and then take a break from NAD and then run-in some MOTS-1MQ and SS-thirty 1 and then switch them. Absolutely. Because if you take MOTS-1C and SS-31for too long too, you will get run down. It will overdrive the mitochondria.
39:41Speaker 0You speak with experience. It took me a while to like figure that out, but you know, live and learn. That's a good point. Good point. So there it is with NAD. Yeah.
39:51Speaker 0If you haven't done it, do it.
39:53Speaker 2There's a reason that like every single med spa is offering this and movie stars and everybody, and it's got a big name. It works. There's a reason it works.
40:02Speaker 2Next thing we get into Tesofensine.
40:03Speaker 2So now that we have this up here, Tesofensine
40:07Speaker 2is definitely not a peptide.
40:09Speaker 2It's more closer to like a pharmaceutical
40:12Speaker 2drug.
40:13Speaker 2It's really interesting. Any of those, any of you people who have done any, well,
40:17Speaker 2any like
40:19Speaker 2SSRIs,
40:20Speaker 2so Zoloft,
40:21Speaker 2Wellbutrin,
40:23Speaker 2this is, well, it's a mix of these. So Tesofensine
40:27Speaker 2is
40:29Speaker 2a triple,
40:31Speaker 0whatever,
40:33Speaker 2reuptake inhibitor.
40:34Speaker 2So it has a, it's a selective
40:36Speaker 2and SSRI, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which is what Zoloft is. And serotonin
40:43Speaker 2is the neurotransmitter that makes you happy
40:46Speaker 2but calm.
40:48Speaker 2People, docs will give it to people who have anxiety and depression.
40:52Speaker 2Then you have the dopamine reuptake
40:54Speaker 2inhibitor, which is like Wellbutrin.
40:57Speaker 2That makes you happy but energized.
40:59Speaker 2A lot of people will get that for not stopping smoking,
41:04Speaker 2And that works also. And then finally, this is a norepinephrine,
41:09Speaker 2AKA noradrenaline
41:10Speaker 2reuptake inhibitor, which makes you happy
41:14Speaker 2and really energized. There's not many people I know that are taking a pure
41:18Speaker 2norepinephrine
41:19Speaker 2reuptake inhibitor. I think they do exist, but I've never
41:23Speaker 2I've been on both of these.
41:27Speaker 2Again, we talked about this last time. Like, I went to I've been to treatment and was depressed when I got out. Duh.
41:32Speaker 2As I was putting, like, massively bad things in front of my brain into my body constantly, and then you stop them and you feel depressed. So I was put on serotonin,
41:41Speaker 2Zoloft for a while. It made me too sleepy. Like, I was just too, like Push your limits, train with precision,

42:45Speaker 2Yeah. You know, why do I wanna take, like, 4 naps a day? And then and then, Wellbutrin,
42:50Speaker 2and that helped. I got put up both of them at the same time.
42:54Speaker 2And then I I cut this 1 off. And frankly, after a while, after I was sober for a while and like had a good connection with God and people and and started living life,
43:04Speaker 2I was able to cut both of them off. And
43:06Speaker 2I will say this, the the Zoloft
43:09Speaker 2is the 1, if you just stop cold turkey, there's a little bit of withdrawal symptoms. Yeah. Yeah. I think there there's said to be withdrawal symptoms than the others, but I didn't really feel it that much. But anyway, I started taking Tesofensine.
43:19Speaker 2So here is how it is all 3 of those combined, but it's not just full strength, it's
43:25Speaker 2actually a better mix and I can't really get into the details of it, but it's
43:29Speaker 2about
43:31Speaker 2a natural occurring version and safer on you.
43:34Speaker 2How it is So it was
43:36Speaker 2started as a treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
43:40Speaker 2And then during their early neurological tests, started realizing why is every single patient losing a bunch of weight?
43:46Speaker 2Wait a minute, let's maybe switch the research. And so now it's literally like 1 of the most potent
43:52Speaker 2weight loss drugs. Well,
43:54Speaker 2GLP is knock it out of the park, but
43:57Speaker 2this is what it does. It is here to help person lose weight. Why? But it just affects your brain. So it is essentially
44:05Speaker 2taking away the craving for
44:08Speaker 2any trying to get a dopamine spike. Your brain is just happy how it is. It doesn't need its sugar. It doesn't need food
44:15Speaker 2for happiness. Yeah. And believe it or not, I know most of you people are like, don't eat food for happiness, but you do and it does provide you happiness, especially
44:23Speaker 2the sweets at night. This stuff is crazy. You take it and you,
44:27Speaker 2JD will kind of give us a personal experience, but
44:30Speaker 2it's the sweets. I'll be eating the ice cream and go, this just doesn't do it for me at all. I don't know why I'm doing this. It's it does not provide the same, you know, happiness that it used to, and so what's the point? So then I don't do it. Doesn't even taste good. I
44:43Speaker 2don't get I personally don't know. I don't get fat from steak and potatoes.
44:47Speaker 2It's not going to prevent me. It's not going to reduce my hunger. Yeah. Right? I still, by a large, I need food,
44:53Speaker 0but it is going to reduce any of that bad food that just gives makes my brain artificially happy. Yeah. And that's the point. Yeah. So what have you I know you just started taking it. I know you've had some- Yeah, it's definitely been an interesting 1 for me because I think I misjudged it and sometimes I have to take our own advice, which, you know, I don't always do that, but I'm gonna give it sometimes and not always following it. But when I had gone to Cancun, I took it for 3 days and because we were studying it at that time and talking about it, I was super intrigued.
45:20Speaker 0And I went out for a wedding that I was actually going to, what do you call it? Pastor? What do you lead? Yeah.
45:28Speaker 0Was my cousin's wedding. It was a kind of a big ordeal
45:30Speaker 0and I was,
45:32Speaker 0I felt just so off. I felt tired off.
45:36Speaker 0Is, you know, I'm trying to break down, what did I change in my protocol?
45:40Speaker 0And that was it. So I pulled it and didn't fill that anymore. So I figured I left thinking it was a Tesofensine. I've never been in on an SSRI.
45:48Speaker 0Thank God I never
45:51Speaker 0went to a rehab that did that because man, that's 1 of the reasons I hate Western medicine. They just here take a bunch of shit,
45:56Speaker 0get y'all these drugs and here's some more drugs. Like my wife was on like 8 drugs out of a rehab dude.
46:02Speaker 0They give you the pills.
46:04Speaker 0Know what mean?
46:06Speaker 0That's a different subject. But anyway, so I, for the longest time, not talk about it forever. I just wasn't a fan of it. Now we
46:13Speaker 0did, we've
46:14Speaker 0had other people on the show, we've had it, we've talked about it numerous times. Everybody's really loved it. So I've been super intrigued by it. I'm like, maybe I didn't give it a fair shake.
46:22Speaker 0And so the last month and 0.5 or so, give or take, I wasn't taking hardly any, so I did start taking it and
46:29Speaker 0gosh, it gave me a lot of energy. Right away, if I noticed it, I was like, wow, that So now I wake up and then I go downstairs and push coffee and I take Tesofensine and I feel like it wakes me up. It's
46:41Speaker 0great. I feel like focused. I
46:44Speaker 0do not feel any
46:46Speaker 0of the
46:48Speaker 0blocking of the sugar cravings. Like I'm dealing with the sugar cravings at night right now. I'm dealing with some gut stuff, so I think it has to do with some of that stuff
46:56Speaker 0because I like the sweets at night. Now I'm you. Yeah. Never really had that problem now. So I wish the Tesofensine would kind of block some of that, but
47:06Speaker 0it does what I need, what I like it to do, which is that focus. But how long have you been on it now? Probably
47:11Speaker 03 weeks. Oh, okay. I'd
47:13Speaker 2say because most of these antidepressants
47:15Speaker 2also,
47:17Speaker 2need to put some weeks in before they actually know it will work. It's definitely not like a narcotic where you just pop it and think. Now maybe the energy part of it, it is pretty fast working. Yeah.
47:27Speaker 2I'd give it a little bit longer. I mean, I would generally say 3 weeks is probably enough time for you to start to feel that.
47:33Speaker 0It's not a
47:35Speaker 0jittery energy. It's not like
47:38Speaker 0a tweaky type, you know? It's very focused.
47:42Speaker 0Will and I were talking off camera about it's a little bit Modafinally.
47:46Speaker 0I love Modafinil. I usually take a Modafinil before most podcasts because it's just super focused. If anybody's taking it, you'll know what I'm talking about.
47:54Speaker 0So it has a little bit of that flare to me. You focus a little bit more, you definitely have more energy. So the food part for me isn't that big of a deal. I'm pretty disciplined with that stuff. I can handle that stuff.
48:04Speaker 0But a lot of people say that, that it's not necessarily
48:08Speaker 0rivaling a GLP-three,
48:10Speaker 2but it's definitely right behind it. And a lot of research is showing literally, I mean, they're doing, they're doing active research studies and it is proving that it's helping weight loss.
48:22Speaker 2But the energy for sure, I absolutely,
48:25Speaker 2and it's not even artificial energy. It is just Yeah. It's the dopamine increase. It's like when your brain If you're happy
48:33Speaker 2and motivated about something, you have more energy. I promise you. Like you are like, shit, I'm Let's get out of bed. Let's do this thing. Right?
48:40Speaker 2Imagine every day of your life, even those who are depressed when it was Christmas morning or Sunday, you know, whatever today you were doing was gonna be awesome. Yeah. You were up out of bed. Yeah. And excited about it. Right? And you had energy. This is what it does. It doesn't increase your heart rate, right? It doesn't nothing like that, but it does, it increases that dopamine. So you just feel a bit more motivated and you just, damn, I want to
49:03Speaker 2work and not take a nap and I don't want to miss any of the day because I feel happy and ready to go. I noticed that for sure. Sure.
49:10Speaker 0So
49:12Speaker 2yeah, there's your biggest,
49:13Speaker 2there's some studies here, 9 to 11% average body weight loss over 24 weeks. You can see this clinical weight loss in this trial here. What
49:23Speaker 2dosing
49:25Speaker 2is, I don't know, daily 2
49:28Speaker 250
49:29Speaker 2micrograms
49:30Speaker 2to 500 micrograms on the high end, 1000
49:34Speaker 2micrograms. So this is what you're seeing.
49:36Speaker 2Here's
49:37Speaker 2for the 2 50 micrograms,
49:39Speaker 2500 micrograms and 1000 micrograms.
49:42Speaker 2Okay.
49:44Speaker 0But it's good. I mean, it's, it's definitely a good compound. So
49:48Speaker 2again,
49:51Speaker 2okay. GLP-1s):
49:52Speaker 2here is good. Let's talk about when,
49:55Speaker 2what types of populations,
49:57Speaker 2etcetera, should take this. So those of you who ask us, Hey, I'm on GLP-one and I'm going to stop taking it.
50:04Speaker 2This
50:05Speaker 2is a perfect, like wean down alternative.
50:09Speaker 2Okay. You want to give yourself a break, right? The GLP-one
50:12Speaker 2is going to
50:13Speaker 2well, work it works differently. So I guess in JD did ask me this, like, why
50:19Speaker 2so the GLP-1s
50:20Speaker 2are, well, Retta, let's take Retta because that's what everybody should be taking here. It
50:25Speaker 2also has that same same mechanism
50:28Speaker 2in your brain to make you not be looking for a dopamine spike. Okay? I think Tesofensine is stronger than the GLP-1s,
50:36Speaker 2but GLP-1s do give you that also. That's why you see this. Well, my girlfriend's sending me TikTok videos of people who like,
50:42Speaker 2I don't love anybody. I have none of those numb because I take the bread out. No, I think it's just an excuse. It's like, maybe that made you happen this much. There you go. Anyway,
50:52Speaker 2so it does have that ability. Okay. But the GLP-1s also, they are the ones that make your stomach feel full really fast because they slow your digestion. This does not do that. It's not you're gonna eat you're gonna be able to eat, but you're not eating
51:06Speaker 2for happiness spike. Right?
51:10Speaker 2It so
51:11Speaker 2so that it's not gonna reduce your your overall hunger. And also the GLP-1s when you're not eating food, so during those phases that you don't eat, it actually
51:20Speaker 2shoots up a whole bunch of glucose to your brain and keeps your brain still working,
51:25Speaker 2not hangry and working at a high level. Tensifencine is not going to do that. You need food. It's going make your brain your dopamine better,
51:33Speaker 2but that only works so much. You have no blood sugar
51:36Speaker 2no food there to fuel your brain, it's, you're still going to get hangry. You still need to eat some food, but I guess, I don't know.
51:43Speaker 2Generally it's the sweets and sugar and all that crap that makes people fat and not the substantive food,
51:50Speaker 2you know? Another, and why also helps you lose weight is those of anybody who, if you're not a very active person,
51:56Speaker 2you're a couch potato, you start taking this, you start getting more motivated shit.
52:01Speaker 2Instead of sitting on the couch all night tonight, think I'm gonna go fold laundry. I'm gonna go for a walk, maybe. You do that on a consistent basis. Yeah. You're going to start burning more calories and, you know, in object in motion tends to stay in motion.
52:13Speaker 2Object at rest tends to stay at rest. Okay.
52:17Speaker 2Domino effect either way.
52:19Speaker 2Will help you trend
52:21Speaker 2the other way. Yeah. I noticed it right away. Yep. It did. It freaking works, dude. I love it. So guys, I don't know. I love it. I think I'd be taking it and I like it. I did. I used to love taking naps now.
52:32Speaker 2Yes, I'm busier, but
52:34Speaker 2doesn't
52:35Speaker 0sound appealing. Totally agree with that. Taken I've the last 3 weeks. I'm not, I'm a pro nap person, but I've not been needing naps.
52:42Speaker 0That's been great. So that's what you're saying recommended,
52:45Speaker 08 weeks on and, 4 weeks off. I don't know. Yes, yes. As a
52:51Speaker 2conservative to be conservative, which is kind of what I want to tell people, I do as I say, and as I do, like I have, if so here's the, because of the serotonin I noticed, so I, I, there are withdrawals from my SSRI.
53:05Speaker 2So
53:06Speaker 21 of them being the brain zaps. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, then they know what I'm talking about. Your brain just kind of goes, you
53:12Speaker 2almost feel like you blacked out for 0.25 of a 2nd. That
53:17Speaker 2happens when you, when you stop all of a sudden taking SSRIs.
53:20Speaker 2Also, if you are naturally depressed and you start taking them, cool, your body's not
53:24Speaker 2keeping as much serotonin, your brain doesn't, so you will feel a bit depressed.
53:28Speaker 2So therefore,
53:29Speaker 2with this, if you take this long term, there will be some withdrawal symptoms. Probably those that I just texted. So So either if you're going to take it long term, don't stop or be smart. If you do stop, you need to slowly wean yourself down. So this is another, like you said, this is another something to take, but
53:47Speaker 2this is just for information to give you guys and make an informed decision.
53:51Speaker 2Personally,
53:53Speaker 2I actually have taken, I was on this for about 4 months and then stopped for 2 weeks
53:59Speaker 2on accident
54:00Speaker 2and felt no withdrawal symptoms. And I was actually quite surprised. I thought I would, withdrawal symptoms aren't bad though. I mean, even like serotonin,
54:07Speaker 2get the brain zaps. I don't know. I think it's kind of fun anyway. The
54:12Speaker 2depression sucks if you're depressed though, because depression sucks.
54:16Speaker 0Depression in my opinion can be cured, but just get moving.
54:19Speaker 0Yeah.
54:20Speaker 2But that's easier said than done. It's like when you're actually depressed,
54:23Speaker 2you know, fuck if I can get up that wouldn't fix this probably, but I'm not getting up.
54:30Speaker 0I hear you. I've never, then
54:32Speaker 2when you're forced to,
54:34Speaker 2that's how, again,
54:36Speaker 2motion, object motion tends to stay in motion. It gets a little bit better and better and better. You gotta just, you gotta lean on I've that moment. Been down the hill, baby. Yeah. But you're right. You're right. Always the base of diet,
54:47Speaker 0nutrition.
54:48Speaker 0Gosh, these things both, but like, man, you got to have that stuff in line. You're sitting, coming right off the couch, these things aren't going to shine. Yeah.
54:55Speaker 0That. And
54:56Speaker 2use them. Yes. So dosing chart
54:59Speaker 2again, I did say, so
55:03Speaker 22 50 micrograms is your low dose, lowest effective dose. It may or may not even be effective.
55:09Speaker 2500 micrograms. Here's my suggested take these in the 1st 0.5 of the day. Okay. It's going to give you energy. It's not really like heart beating,
55:17Speaker 2extra fast energy, but you still don't want take it before bed and try to sleep. You'd probably be like, damn, I really want to go like do some stuff.
55:24Speaker 2Create something. You won't sleep.
55:26Speaker 21000 micrograms is advanced. Personally, I am taking 1000 micrograms and taking 2 pills a day and I just take them in the morning. Yep.
55:33Speaker 2Take them in the morning together.
55:35Speaker 2This is just a kind of a titration phase. So here's, here's an example of how somebody, if they wanted to titrate up,
55:43Speaker 2that's how you can do it. And you know, Hey, everybody's brain chemistry is different. So if this is turning bad on you, like JD's 1st experience, then maybe you don't take it. Yeah. Okay. Timing morning
55:54Speaker 2with food optional
55:57Speaker 2and the important parts of insomnia,
56:02Speaker 2anxiety, dry
56:04Speaker 2mouth, that may happen. I have had that. I haven't noticed mild heart rate increase. I've never had that. So here's the things not to do.
56:13Speaker 2Take other
56:15Speaker 2SSRIs
56:16Speaker 2or NRIs or MAO eyes. Okay? So you just don't wanna double up on the drug. So you don't wanna be taking Wellbutrin or Zoloft
56:23Speaker 2and then also add in Tesofensine.
56:27Speaker 2Monitor your blood pressure.
56:30Speaker 2Don't have uncontrolled hypertension. So don't be just stressed out of your effing mind. That's
56:36Speaker 2a general rule. Shouldn't do that anyway. Okay.
56:40Speaker 2And if you have a history of psychiatric problems,
56:43Speaker 2well, anxiety disorders bipolar, like this is a brain med. This might
56:48Speaker 2not work right as you want it to, or might do something weird with your preexisting condition. So that one's just like, duh. I mean, you also-
56:55Speaker 0Use your brain. Yeah. Don't wanna, I don't know, jump off a building with bipolar
57:01Speaker 2or any other way.
57:03Speaker 2Stimulant interactions.
57:05Speaker 2Reduce caffeine. You're right. Don't take with modafinil.
57:08Speaker 2To be honest, like I'm drinking coffee right now.
57:11Speaker 2The worry there is that it's just a little bit too, like, a stimulant
57:15Speaker 2overload,
57:16Speaker 2and it could kind of burn out fray those stimulant receptors.
57:21Speaker 2And I don't think it's not dangerous, but it may
57:24Speaker 2not be necessary to actually drink
57:27Speaker 2those extra cups of coffee.
57:29Speaker 2Unnecessary.
57:31Speaker 2That's about it. That's all that the real that I real kind of worries are regular, you know, shit, regular blood tests,
57:39Speaker 2like everything else that we ever talk about. It's probably a good idea. You're
57:44Speaker 2anxiety ridden and like, that's 1 of your verts and maybe just go slow, start if you're going to try it, just really low and make sure that you can do it. Then you can always go up. Yeah, for sure. So, right. If you have anxiety, this is going to give you a bit more energy. So if you're very sensitive to having anxiety with a cup of coffee, this may not be the thing for you. Hail, it might be though.
58:05Speaker 2I don't know. So there's Tesofensine,
58:09Speaker 2We're telling you about our experience and that's it and telling you what we know. We are not doctors and not the smartest people in the world and do not know anything. So don't listen to anything we say if you don't want to.
58:20Speaker 2We're just gonna tell you what we know and what we know from personal experience.
58:25Speaker 0And join
58:26Speaker 0school.
58:27Speaker 0Jump out of school. It's going great. People are loving it. We got a lot of stuff coming. We're gonna be adding some stuff coming
58:34Speaker 0probably next week where
58:36Speaker 0Will and I will be doing hopefully like a Zoom call a week for the people that are joining the VIP.
58:42Speaker 0So we're going to do some add ons. Obviously, that's going to cost not a lot. We're going to give discounts on certain things too.
58:50Speaker 0Mathematically,
58:51Speaker 0you come way ahead,
58:53Speaker 0but you have to understand we run a business and we have busy lives and
58:58Speaker 0we get a lot of emails and DMs and stuff. Can't answer them all.
59:02Speaker 0That's where we're going to answer them. You got to pay a little bit of money and we'll answer them. And we don't think we're special at all. Just, that's how we can make it work.
59:10Speaker 0And we're gonna get do some cool stuff. We've dropped some cool stuff already, I think, and we're gonna continue to add,
59:16Speaker 0have some guest speakers on for just that group
59:20Speaker 0where conversations can be a little bit more direct and deep and you'll be able to probably talk to some of them too. So cool stuff coming down the pike.
59:28Speaker 0Yep.
59:30Speaker 2Let's go. We've worked, you know, I mean, hell, look,
59:34Speaker 2we are providing a good service. So there is a little bit of a fee. If you really want personal
59:39Speaker 2service, if you have absolutely like the nitty gritty questions, you
59:43Speaker 2may, you may ask and we will give you our best answer. If we don't know it or aren't satisfied,
59:48Speaker 2we will, we have lots of professionals that we know that we will get the answer from. Maybe you have them chime in and it costs money because it's a good service and it will be frigging helpful. And there's a lot of value 3 behind it. Yeah.
1:00:00Speaker 0So that is coming. Than that, we got a Paul back TR next week. And then we got-1sixteen Two:twenty Sam Borghi. 2 docs next week or not. He's
1:00:08Speaker 0not a doctor, but he's a peptide guy, big peptide guy. So he's coming on. And then Doctor. Sam-1.2
1:00:15Speaker 2He
1:00:18Speaker 2did my hair replacement, but he's also,
1:00:21Speaker 2an ER surgeon
1:00:23Speaker 2actively doing
1:00:24Speaker 2that and has,
1:00:26Speaker 2started his own
1:00:30Speaker 2orthopedic,
1:00:31Speaker 2like peptide practice
1:00:33Speaker 2where they are doing like rehabilitation with peptides and then also
1:00:39Speaker 2online Rx
1:00:41Speaker 2peptide for the FDA approved peptides online called Summer. So he'll tell you about that. So next week, you got 2 people. So he's in it, like talk about, you know, yeah, healing from, well, all types of injuries. He's in big bear right now, think, or he's going to be. He moonlights or does does, like, 24 hours. He's cool, man. Yeah. We'll talk about him. We'll talk to him. He'll be fun. And,
1:01:01Speaker 0yeah, stay tuned. That'll be fun. Other than that, that's next week. We will see you guys then.
1:01:07Speaker 0Later. Goodbye. Yeah. Good stuff.
