Haas in the house. What's up, dude? What's up, bro? What's today? Tuesday. What day is it? Today, happy Tuesday, brother. Happy Tuesday. Tuesday, a week after Thanksgiving? 0:26 Speaker 0: Yep. 0:28 Speaker 0: It's almost 12. We still have a lot of stuff to do. Got to bust out this podcast and get cracking, get cracking. Lots to do, man. Busy is good. 0:37 Speaker 0: I prefer busy to the opposite. 0:41 Speaker 0: Absolutely. 0:42 Speaker 0: It's a good life. It's a good life. How are things, man? 0:46 Speaker 1: What is new? Good, dude. Nothing is new other than I'm 0:50 Speaker 1: a bit tasked with putting up Christmas lights, which I think is fun, actually. I mean, like, it's actually kind of fun too. I like that type of stuff, like building things, but 0:58 Speaker 1: I don't know if I had the time to do it. So I'm asking 1:02 Speaker 1: I'm talking to Pedro over here that 1:05 Speaker 1: to maybe help me out, pay him to to do it for me. But I put some some regular stuff up. Like, I had to climb up some palm trees in the back with my machete this weekend 1:15 Speaker 1: and trim down cut off the little things that grow halfway down, you know Yeah. So that I could wrap the lights up 1:23 Speaker 1: with a very unstable ladder. My backyard has got black widows in it too, like big fat ones. Nice. Which is kinda concerning. 1:31 Speaker 1: But 1:33 Speaker 0: I don't know. I kinda that it's fun and- Handy is a good trait. My father did not pass on the handyman as well well known. He and I have been kind of setting up this warehouse that we work in for a couple months now, and he just kind of does that part himself. He doesn't even ask. 1, he likes to do it himself. Agree? Yeah. He just stay out of my way. Let me get it done type guy. Yeah. But he also knows that I suck at it. Yeah. Yeah. That too. 1:56 Speaker 1: But yeah. Dude, I don't know. Right. It's like the same thing when 1:59 Speaker 1: I go to the gym or workout. I don't like to Get them away. Frankly, I don't like to workout with people. That is my 2:07 Speaker 1: relaxed time. I just get to put headphones in and 2:11 Speaker 1: do my thing and enjoy it, not wait for anybody that's less about the other people and more just kind of about me. 2:19 Speaker 0: Dude, that's the best way, man. Find out what works for you and do that. Very, very, very easy advice, but very good advice. Very sound advice. You know I mean? Yeah. I'm 2:30 Speaker 0: excited about today, you know, for everybody listening. We're gonna kind of put the actual digging into 2:37 Speaker 0: a peptide or 2 peptides on the side. We're going to kind of get back to the basics. I think it's needed. We read our DMs and we read through everything that you guys post and DM us and whatnot. 2:47 Speaker 0: And there's just some questions that are very basic. 2:50 Speaker 0: I'm not knocking that because I'm glad that you're starting. We wanted to kind of get to the basics of 2:55 Speaker 0: peptides 101. What are they? Are they safe? Just some questions that I think people that are starting out on this journey are asking. 3:03 Speaker 0: So we want to address that. 3:05 Speaker 0: We talk about them quite a bit in regards to what peptides 3:10 Speaker 0: are, just very simple chains of amino acids. But let's dig into that a little bit and 3:14 Speaker 0: just do a kind of a little small crash course for the new people 3:18 Speaker 0: on what they are, dude. So I'll kind of throw it to you, dude, on 3:22 Speaker 0: just kind of starting us off on a little bit about what peptides are, what they do and whatnot. Sure. 3:30 Speaker 1: I have a little bit of an outline, Dihexa, so I may refer to something to make sure I just don't, leave something out. But 3:37 Speaker 1: generally, 3:38 Speaker 1: like, okay, hey, what is a peptide, right? 3:41 Speaker 1: A 3:41 Speaker 1: peptide is a chain of amino acids. 3:45 Speaker 1: As a generalization, 3:47 Speaker 1: we're going to say between like 1 and 50 amino acids, between 2 and 50 amino acids. You can't have a chain with 1. So we're going to call it between 2 and 50 is generally a peptide chain. 3:59 Speaker 1: Amino acids 4:01 Speaker 1: are what make up 4:03 Speaker 1: a peptide chain. As we've all heard, like, hey, what is a protein, right? Protein is also a chain of amino acids. So what the hell is the difference? 4:11 Speaker 1: Think of a peptide chain as 2 through 50, 4:15 Speaker 1: or I mean, a 4:16 Speaker 1: peptide chain, but a protein 4:18 Speaker 1: is much 4:20 Speaker 1: longer, 51 plus, and think of them as almost like a 3 d 4:25 Speaker 1: folded 4:26 Speaker 1: peptide chain, and lots of them make up a specific 4:31 Speaker 1: protein. 4:35 Speaker 1: So there you go there. Now, how peptides work as opposed to other supplements or like testosterone 4:42 Speaker 1: or steroids, right? That is 1 huge question everybody always asks us is- Are they hormones? Are they steroids, right? Is 4:49 Speaker 1: this going to do something bad to me? So peptides are really interesting. 4:53 Speaker 1: So again, it's a small chain. 4:56 Speaker 1: Therefore, they work faster and more efficiently and can they signaling 5:02 Speaker 1: a specific biological 5:04 Speaker 1: function 5:05 Speaker 1: in our human body. So in order for us to, let's say, burn fat, a 5:11 Speaker 1: series of different reactions need to occur in our body 5:16 Speaker 1: to finally get this end result, which is burning fat. 5:19 Speaker 1: Okay? And 5:20 Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of these different processes. What a peptide does is it goes into the very beginning of that process 5:26 Speaker 1: and it tells this 1 5:29 Speaker 1: reaction, Hey, 5:31 Speaker 1: do this a little better, which then we know sets off this normal this regular reaction that our body does naturally, 5:39 Speaker 1: completely naturally. Right? So 5:41 Speaker 1: it tells that body to set off that chain of actions 5:45 Speaker 1: that go a little bit better or faster than our body normally does. 5:49 Speaker 1: And why this is healthy for us is because our body's completely used to that, right? Knows how to do this normal reaction chain. And the end result is something that our body really does naturally, 5:59 Speaker 0: although now it's done a lot better, more efficiently, faster because of the peptide chain. So all of that is It's going be be a messenger that sends to the body. You're taking it and it's going sit in the body. It's going to tell the body to enhance that or fix this or heal It's 6:12 Speaker 0: really that simple, you know, to kind of simplify what you just said. So it's a messenger, tells your body to do these a certain thing. Your body's full of them. 6:19 Speaker 1: Absolutely. And there are Right, right. Full of it. There is tons of little minuscule reactions that are occurring at all times, right? 6:27 Speaker 1: And those are happening basically on cells or receptor sites 6:31 Speaker 1: as opposed to testosterone or steroids or anything like that. That is the actual hormone, okay? We are now giving your body just the direct hormone. 6:41 Speaker 1: Now, we all know, like, everything in our body is predicated on 1 another, okay? So for testosterone, 6:46 Speaker 1: for example, right, when we give you, hey, straight up testosterone hormone, our body doesn't like to do anything redundant. So it says, 6:53 Speaker 1: Hey, look how much I have. Hey, normal, hey, nuts. Let's slow down on our production. Okay? Oh, also, by the way, body, we liked our specific ratio of testosterone to estrogen, but now look how much more testosterone we have, guys. Let's push our estrogen up. 7:08 Speaker 1: And all of those are not a natural process. 7:11 Speaker 1: You know? That is why there are side effects to 7:14 Speaker 1: steroids and testosterone. Now luckily, we know what those are and we know how to combat them if you just do things right as far as testosterone goes. But 7:22 Speaker 1: peptides don't have those 7:24 Speaker 1: properties, right? Is not going to lead to shutdown of natural 7:28 Speaker 1: system. Normalize. Right. 7:31 Speaker 1: Because it's just enhancing your normal process, right? 7:35 Speaker 1: Hopefully that is 7:38 Speaker 0: the correct- Yeah, no, I think that was good. I think that we 7:41 Speaker 0: can over 7:43 Speaker 0: It's really that simple. They're just chains of amino acids that can enhance certain things. You're going to talk about repairing 7:49 Speaker 0: your mitochondria, 7:50 Speaker 0: balancing your hormones, optimizing inflammation, 7:53 Speaker 0: helping with fat loss, helping with weight loss. 7:57 Speaker 0: These are the things that peptides are going to do. I would say before we even dig into those things and kind of what might be the best peptides for those in particular, 8:05 Speaker 0: I think we start with the basics of the importance of somebody being just 8:11 Speaker 0: a fully optimized human. So let's stop for a 2nd because I know without even talking to you about this, well, I know you feel the same. 8:19 Speaker 0: Peptides are amazing, but let's set them here for a 2nd. 8:23 Speaker 0: Every human, especially if you're past your 40, but every human, we need to be optimized in different situations and in different areas, meaning hormone 8:31 Speaker 0: optimization 8:32 Speaker 0: needs to be 1, I think, the most focused. So if you're a man who has low testosterone, that is a large, large problem. There are problems alone with just having low testosterone. 8:42 Speaker 0: So getting your testosterone levels right, your estrogen levels right, insulin, all that stuff, thyroid, all these things within an 8:49 Speaker 0: optimized 8:50 Speaker 0: bracket 8:51 Speaker 0: is going to be such a starting point. 8:54 Speaker 0: Then you move into 8:56 Speaker 0: diet, 8:58 Speaker 0: nutrition, 8:59 Speaker 0: and you start to change your lifestyle and exercise, 9:04 Speaker 0: eating right. 9:05 Speaker 0: Eating right is very vague to the degree where we hear that all the time. I'm eating right. Well, what does that mean? 1st off, everybody is different. 9:14 Speaker 0: 1 diet might be awesome for 1 person, but they might not be able to have They might not do well running on glucose. Some might be better on fat. 9:24 Speaker 0: That, just like the hormone part, takes time to learn you, 9:29 Speaker 0: your body. 9:30 Speaker 0: That is not going to be overnight just because the guy at the gym told told you that you should on TRT run 2 50 mg a week because that's what he suggests. That is so far from 9:40 Speaker 0: optimize that. 9:42 Speaker 0: That's bro science is what a lot of people listen to. And I'm not knocking at them to saying, listen, like we are all a science project and to be the best human and to run the best as a machine, you have to really start to 9:55 Speaker 0: learn these things, 9:57 Speaker 0: try different things, try your testosterone here, try your testosterone here, try your testosterone here, get your blood work done. Hormone optimization, 10:05 Speaker 0: in my opinion, you can chime in here in a 2nd, Will, on that is the most important because, again, if you're testosterone low, dude, you're going to have a rough time losing weight, dude. You just are. You're running up a hill. Yeah, you might get at the top of the hill, but you're going to be tired, dude. So hormone optimization, 10:20 Speaker 0: and you're going to need to track your blood work probably every 90 days for quite a while just to make sure how is your energy level? How is your sex drive? How are you burning fat? These all come into play. Will and I have been doing this for years, and it took us years to 10:35 Speaker 0: figure out us. Then your diet, then how do you exercise? Do you get on HIIT training? Do you like weight 10:42 Speaker 0: training? Those are the things. And then when you get these things in a bucket and you feel great, 10:49 Speaker 0: you add in peptides 10:51 Speaker 0: and they will work so freaking good. It will be like pouring fuel on a fire, dude. It'll be like 10:57 Speaker 0: That's 10:59 Speaker 0: how I will explain peptides, how amazing they are. If you're not optimized, 11:02 Speaker 0: they will work, but you want to be get the best out of them. Focus on lifestyle change and hormones and stuff 1st. Mhmm. Right? And you kinda set in the base of, like, being a better human and then trying these things. Do you agree with that? I completely 11:16 Speaker 1: agree with that. I think that, and I will use optimize a different well, somewhat of a different way, but, like, that has that yes. Those things you I mean, for a man, 11:27 Speaker 1: testosterone, basically, endocrine system, our hormones need to be aligned and correct for 11:33 Speaker 1: you as an individual person. That needs to happen 1st. These peptides are now and everything else. Right? All that other stuff needs to be on point. It doesn't need to be perfect, perfect, perfect, right? Like, I'm definitely 11:45 Speaker 1: not 11:46 Speaker 1: perfect, but I think that my hormones are optimized and I do pretty damn well on the exercise and nutrition. 11:52 Speaker 1: And now these peptides are going to optimize all of that stuff. 11:57 Speaker 1: These are for kind of anybody who's using peptides. Hopefully, this is for optimizing your wellness 12:03 Speaker 1: as opposed to, like, 12:06 Speaker 1: getting you well. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? There are some peptides, hey, that will get you well. If you have mold sickness and you take LL-thirty 7 or VIP, that might just save your life. But for the most part, 12:18 Speaker 1: all that other stuff needs to come 1st, and then the peptides get to really 12:22 Speaker 1: optimize 12:23 Speaker 1: you and take you to the next level. I also will make a point on blood work portion. Like, 12:30 Speaker 1: that is important, 12:31 Speaker 1: but I have talked to and seen tons of people whose blood work looked great and they don't feel good. 12:37 Speaker 1: It's it is really about how you feel. You know? I'm not saying don't do blood work. You absolutely should. But you 12:44 Speaker 1: also gotta make some tweaks in yourself, and we all need to 12:48 Speaker 1: experiment with ourselves and try something try something different. It's the same thing like, hey. I'm trying to lose weight, my judgment is only based on, you know, hell, the scale, which we all know that is not a good judge. 13:01 Speaker 1: What we really care about is body composition, 13:04 Speaker 1: you know, But body fat 13:06 Speaker 1: even that, man, sometimes 13:09 Speaker 1: that is not gonna bring you exactly what you want. I think the best standard is to put tape on the ground, get yourself in a mirror, take a picture of yourself back in front in the same place. Yeah. And judge your progress on that and on how you feel internally is probably the 2 best things you possibly can do to really check your own progress. That's funny you said, and it made me think of something. So when I was doing a lot of the coaching and stuff, I I had this 1 gentleman comes to mind, and he was telling me 13:35 Speaker 0: that he didn't lose any weight. 13:38 Speaker 0: But what I did was I had them take pictures every Friday and they would send them to me. That let 13:44 Speaker 0: me know they were still engaged, so it was more for me than them. Yeah. 13:47 Speaker 0: I said, so then I went back to each of my things and he checked in on Fridays and I took his 1st picture and I took his last picture and I put them together in an app and I sent it to him and I said, 13:58 Speaker 0: it's not always losing weight on the scale. Like, looked like totally different. Like, he looked like he lost weight. And then his eyes, he wasn't losing weight because his scale didn't change. Yeah. But he looked like a different human. You know what I mean? So that's it comes to mind when you said that because, 14:14 Speaker 0: know, just people, people are people. People always be people. But, you know, in energy level 14:19 Speaker 0: and sex drive, 14:21 Speaker 0: and it's a podcast, like you say, this erections for man, these are things like when you wake up, you know, and like these are things that 14:29 Speaker 0: like, God knows what he's doing and he gives us beacons of health. You know, like, obviously, if you're tired and you feel like shit 14:37 Speaker 0: all the time, 14:40 Speaker 0: something's wrong. Something's right. Whether it's even if it's you're eating like shit, like if you eat Cheetos for lunch and chili cheese fries for dinner, 14:47 Speaker 0: that's the obvious. Change that, you'll probably feel better. But 14:51 Speaker 0: we live in a time where toxins are everywhere, 14:55 Speaker 0: and that's just like, you know, so people are run down quite a bit. But on the flip side of that, because we all know this, we're in our 40s, 15:01 Speaker 0: you can feel great in your 40s. Like, I'm 48 and feel the best of my life. 15:07 Speaker 0: Not only just like, can I feel how I look, but how I feel? 15:12 Speaker 0: But it's a constant, like, we're always under construction, 15:15 Speaker 0: And all of 15:17 Speaker 0: it's a constant repair. It's a constant, like, 15:22 Speaker 0: using 15:23 Speaker 0: how you feel and those things that I just said as a beacon for, I think, your health. 15:29 Speaker 0: Agree with you in regards to the blood work, but like if you get a doctor and we've used him numerous times because we just both respect him, Scott, he does a deep dive 15:37 Speaker 0: where just a typical medical doctor on blood work won't run certain things that will show inflammation and things like that. If you get a doctor that does a deep panel and actually knows what he's doing, that's where it's going to really help you because this is connected to this. If you take this, it's connected to this. Like most doctors, 15:55 Speaker 0: without trying to knock them, 15:57 Speaker 0: you go in, they give you some pills, you walk out and they put a Band Aid on whatever they're trying to put a Band Aid on. But that pill has a chain reaction, 16:06 Speaker 0: 17 chains reactions, and it affects our body. 16:10 Speaker 0: And in my opinion, 16:12 Speaker 0: peptides are able to help some of that stuff. 16:17 Speaker 0: They're able to kind of like fix your mitochondria. 16:19 Speaker 0: The weight loss peptides are the obvious. I think that's kind of a gateway 16:25 Speaker 0: drug, if you will. If anybody that starts with any, even a semaglutide, which we don't like, but it still works. 16:32 Speaker 0: You're going to lose weight. You're not going to eat, but you're going to lose weight. But the GLP-one peptides are so powerful 16:38 Speaker 0: that they work. 16:41 Speaker 0: For anybody listening, that's not even mean, there are peptides that are so freaking awesome beyond that. I mean, Will and I could talk about them for days. Will, why 16:51 Speaker 0: we dig into a few different areas, I think, where of importance for, I think, people that are listening to some 16:57 Speaker 0: peptides that'll help with mitochondria, 16:59 Speaker 0: peptides that will help with 17:01 Speaker 0: optimizing inflammation, 17:03 Speaker 0: peptides that'll help with just like healing injuries, fat loss, weight loss. Let's start with the mitochondria. What are some peptides that'll enhance and Let's help your 17:13 Speaker 1: see, off top of my head, MOTS-3.00, 17:16 Speaker 1: SS-31NAD 17:20 Speaker 1: plus What 17:24 Speaker 1: are some others? Epitalon. 17:26 Speaker 1: Epitalon. 17:28 Speaker 0: Those are those are 4 right there, if you're listening, that will help in regards to some cellular 17:33 Speaker 0: energy, 17:34 Speaker 0: with your mitochondria. 17:36 Speaker 0: Some that are going to be in regards to optimizing 17:39 Speaker 0: inflammation. 17:40 Speaker 0: That's an easy 1. 17:42 Speaker 0: There's TA-one, Thymosin Alpha-one, 17:44 Speaker 0: which I 17:45 Speaker 0: think a lot of people don't talk about just 17:48 Speaker 0: because Thymosin Alpha-one is for immunity. 17:51 Speaker 0: But 1 of the best areas that it shines is the fact that it really helps bring inflammation down. Yep. 17:57 Speaker 1: Thymosin Alpha, TB-five hundred, BPC-157. 18:01 Speaker 1: I 18:04 Speaker 1: mean, 18:05 Speaker 1: VIP and LL-thirty 7 in their way, they will 18:09 Speaker 1: bring some inflammation. 18:11 Speaker 1: Right. 18:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. 18:14 Speaker 0: Where you're talking, those are all the injectables that we're talking about, we do like KPV pill form, BPC-157 18:22 Speaker 0: pill form would be good in regards to gut health, 18:25 Speaker 0: certain things with those 2 in particular. 18:28 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess I 18:31 Speaker 1: Yes, talking about 18:34 Speaker 1: peptides-one 18:35 Speaker 1: hundred 1, I think that that's great. I don't know. I think that we ought to 18:40 Speaker 1: tell people on, alright, hey, let's go basics. 18:43 Speaker 1: Right? What people really ask is basic stuff. Right? Like, bioavailability. 18:48 Speaker 1: Right? 18:49 Speaker 1: Why? There are some peptides that there's basically, like, 4 ways that people can take these things. Injectable, 18:56 Speaker 1: transdermal, so creams, 18:58 Speaker 1: whatever, like a skin patch, oral pills, 19:01 Speaker 1: and 19:04 Speaker 1: intranasal 19:05 Speaker 1: is the other thing. So most of these things, guys, every all these peptides are all really 19:10 Speaker 1: made 19:11 Speaker 1: are best 19:13 Speaker 1: injectable because the bioavailability, 19:15 Speaker 1: right? We get about 100% of the actual active peptide 19:19 Speaker 1: and it works. 19:21 Speaker 1: Injectable. Now, not everybody wants to do that. The reason there are now oral sides, 19:26 Speaker 1: the reason we don't not everything can be oral is because our body just our stomach 19:31 Speaker 1: will destroy the peptide before our body gets enough of it for it to actually do anything. So there's very few peptides that are available 19:39 Speaker 1: in orals, 19:40 Speaker 1: but 19:41 Speaker 1: KPV, 19:42 Speaker 1: BPC, 19:44 Speaker 1: SLU-3P, 19:45 Speaker 1: and 5Amino-1MQ 19:47 Speaker 1: a little bit. 19:49 Speaker 1: And Dihexa 19:50 Speaker 1: A little bit of NAD. A little bit of NAD. I still think as far as the NAD goes, like, NMN, which is the precursor to NAD plus, is really the the thing that you wanna take orally and let your body convert that to NAD plus. That that is really how that 1 will work the best. And 20:06 Speaker 1: then, really, the transdermal, GHKCu 20:09 Speaker 1: is great. Transdermal SNAP-eight. 20:12 Speaker 1: You'll see those in a lot of cosmetic products 20:15 Speaker 1: for, you know, face to skin, help tighten up your skin, help build collagen 20:20 Speaker 1: in your actual skin. 20:22 Speaker 1: The SNAP-eight will help reduce, 20:24 Speaker 1: like, those fine lines and tighten your skin a bit. And then intranasally, 20:28 Speaker 1: you will see, 20:30 Speaker 1: with, like, a nasal spray, a lot of the nootropics. 20:33 Speaker 1: So the things that are directly affecting your brain is what's gonna really work intranasally. 20:37 Speaker 1: So 20:39 Speaker 1: PT-one hundred 41, which is for sex. Sex and drive. 20:42 Speaker 1: Any other way to put it, but that stuff works. 20:45 Speaker 1: Oxytocin. 20:46 Speaker 1: We've all heard of oxytocin, kind of the love drug. Right? Helps calm you but also helps enhance 20:52 Speaker 1: feelings of 20:54 Speaker 1: being 20:56 Speaker 1: closer and wanting to hug. Right? Like, we are all flooded with oxytocin when during sex. Right? Women are flooded with it after. Women are flooded with oxytocin when they have a baby, 21:05 Speaker 1: etcetera. 21:06 Speaker 1: And Melanotan 21:08 Speaker 1: 1 and 2, 21:10 Speaker 1: Selank, Cmax, 21:14 Speaker 1: which Selank is an anxiolytic calms you. Cmax is more of an upper, gives you more energy, but work on your brain. So those, I think, are the really are the ones that actually work intranasally. Yeah. There's not many more. We have experimented and looked at a lot of these things. And 21:30 Speaker 1: Kisspeptin 21:31 Speaker 1: actually is 21:33 Speaker 1: will work intranasally. The other hard part on those intranasal ones is 21:37 Speaker 1: those peptides are very are good, stable, 21:40 Speaker 1: not being refrigerated at all times. 21:43 Speaker 1: So a lot of these peptides. And then the next step people will ask is, okay, how about, like, stability of the peptides? Like handling instructions, you know? 21:52 Speaker 1: So they are a peptide. A peptide is this small 21:55 Speaker 1: chain of amino acids, okay? And they're fragile. So you do not want to You need to handle them gently. 22:02 Speaker 1: They need to Once you And they all must be If we're talking injectable, they need to be reconstituted 22:08 Speaker 1: with some type of reconstitution 22:10 Speaker 1: solution. 22:11 Speaker 1: Options can be, you'll hear people, sterile water. 22:15 Speaker 1: Sterile, just pure sterile water is good for 1 time uses. Okay? That is only if you're gonna use that, if you're gonna just mix whatever it is and use it all, okay, because there is no bacterial static, there's no benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol added to 22:30 Speaker 1: sterile water makes bacterial static water. And the whole point of that is now bacteria cannot get into your peptide, and frankly, we're less worried 22:38 Speaker 1: about, oh, that peptide's gonna make you sick because of the bacteria. What we're worried about is bacteria is gonna go in and degrade the hell out of the peptide, and therefore, it's just not gonna work. 22:47 Speaker 1: So 22:48 Speaker 1: bacterial static water is the go to 22:52 Speaker 1: when mixing 99% 22:54 Speaker 1: of peptides. 22:56 Speaker 1: There are some that are hydrophobic. 22:58 Speaker 1: They do not mix well in water, 23:00 Speaker 1: namely AOD-nine 23:01 Speaker 1: 604. 23:03 Speaker 1: In a mix of acetic acid, bacteriostatic water, and also 23:07 Speaker 1: glycerin, I've talked to lots of actual just manufacturers of the raw materials, and that is what they suggest. They say any real AOD needs to be mixed with that solution 23:16 Speaker 1: for it to actually mix and stay mixed and not coagulate 23:20 Speaker 1: and gel up. Right. So 23:23 Speaker 1: there's your reconstitution. 23:25 Speaker 1: That needs to happen. Storage 23:29 Speaker 1: is all these peptides need to be stored. Light will damage them. Alright? 23:33 Speaker 1: You you shaking them will damage them. So once we put it in puts the water in, I know we've talked about this plenty, 23:39 Speaker 1: that needs to be gentle, the water added gently. 23:42 Speaker 1: Yep. And 23:43 Speaker 1: the water may be it shouldn't be too cold, to be honest, and you should not add it too fast in there. 23:50 Speaker 1: The peptides, if they are not mixed, should be stored, okay, in a cool, dark place. That doesn't really mean they have to be refrigerated, but they need to be kept pretty cool 24:00 Speaker 1: and with no light. They may not be frozen, 24:04 Speaker 1: and they may not have condensation. So if you're doing long term, long term storage, I actually wouldn't store them in a refrigerator because the longer they're gonna sit in a refrigerator, the more chance that they will have to build up condensation in there. 24:17 Speaker 1: And, hey, it depends on the peptide on how long it will remain stable after reconstitution. 24:24 Speaker 1: -Sure. -People generally put 30, 45 days. Although, 24:29 Speaker 1: I have I have I have clients that have 24:32 Speaker 1: used their Semaglutide 6 months later, 24:35 Speaker 1: and it's worked perfectly. 24:36 Speaker 1: So Yeah. 24:38 Speaker 1: Go figure. 24:39 Speaker 1: If it has 24:40 Speaker 1: not been reconstituted, 24:43 Speaker 1: they're good, if they're kept in the right condition for, I don't know, 2 to 3 years, to be honest. 24:48 Speaker 0: I've had people ask me, like, for example, like, they're traveling. 24:52 Speaker 0: We've talked about this before. I'll give you a trick that I have used, and then I'll answer another part of that question. So when I used to travel, we go to Mexico a lot, and I would travel with the peptides mixed already, and they would be out for a good 25:08 Speaker 0: 12 maybe plus hours, 25:10 Speaker 0: never over a day. I'm positive they still work. I get that questions quite a bit. So if you're traveling, I think you're going to be okay with them being out as soon as you land and get to where you're at. I would get them in the fridge. Right? A trick that I have learned over the years that has worked for me is to 25:27 Speaker 0: don't mix them until you get there. So I'm about to go to Mexico at the end of this month for 25:34 Speaker 0: the week with my family, 25:36 Speaker 0: And I'll take 25:37 Speaker 0: just maybe 3 or 4 and I will mix them there. I'll use them basically all up and then there you go. It's a little trick of the trade that I've used. It took me a little while to catch up to that. Then I'm like, why don't I just mix them when I get there? There you go. That's how that happens. 25:52 Speaker 0: Also, 25:53 Speaker 0: some of you, I think that people will be curious, 25:56 Speaker 0: Will and I both have traveled umpteen times with them. 1st off, well, I guess it depends on the country, but peptides, they're not really going to you're not going to get arrested 26:07 Speaker 0: and put in jail for peptides. Put them in your restroom bag. Put your needles in your restroom bag. Syringes are not illegal, by the way. Just put them in your restroom bag. I would just be safe and check your bag. I always check my bag just to be safe. You don't want to carry it on because they might check it. And then at the very least, I don't think they might take them. But then you're going to stop and have to deal with all that. Just check the dang bag and get on the plane. Little tricks of the trades that we've learned throughout the years. 26:31 Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely. 26:33 Speaker 1: What are some other points? 26:37 Speaker 0: Don't know. Injecting cleaning, like 1 thing that I think it's important that probably is not talked about enough. If you inject anything long enough, you're gonna realize that you need to clean the area with the alcohol swab, clean the top of the bottle with an alcohol swab. Listen, I'm not going to tell you that I do it every time. 26:53 Speaker 0: But, you know, even for people that know that, like, injecting it with testosterone and things like that, like, you can get PIP and you can get things like that where you ain't going to die from it, but it hurts like a son of a bitch, And if you inject 27:05 Speaker 0: dirt and it gets dirty, 27:08 Speaker 0: it can get infected. 27:09 Speaker 0: Is there a high chance of it? Probably not, but it happens. 27:13 Speaker 0: So 27:14 Speaker 0: be safe. Clean the area. It'll 27:17 Speaker 0: be funny, man. I've literally showered 27:19 Speaker 0: for 27:21 Speaker 0: about an hour and then an hour later injected and wiped an alcohol swab where I'm gonna inject and it's all dirty. You're like, What in the world? So clean yourself, man. Just be safe. Imagine that and then people still 27:33 Speaker 1: will work out 27:34 Speaker 1: for 2 hours and not shower and then 3 hours later do their injection and then wonder why I don't have a lump. There's some, like, infection or something like that. Yeah. Right. Well, you're dirty. 27:45 Speaker 1: Yeah. 27:46 Speaker 1: That's both sweat. But but also so here are some common things. 27:50 Speaker 1: You know, you are putting a needle into your skin. Okay? It may bruise. You might hit a little blood vessel. Okay? Bruising is just bleeding underneath the skin. Okay? So sometimes you just met you're doing everything right. It's just unavoidable. Okay? You might have a little bit of bruise. 28:04 Speaker 1: Old bodybuilder trick is just cotton swab it with 28:08 Speaker 1: apple cider vinegar. That will take bruises away way faster. 28:12 Speaker 1: But you might get a bruise. Right? There are some that are notorious for maybe, like, leaving a little red bump. I know tirzepatide is 1 of them. 28:20 Speaker 1: Another circumstance 28:22 Speaker 1: and then some of them burn. So what are the burning ones? NAD burns like hell to me. 28:27 Speaker 1: GHKCu 28:28 Speaker 1: burns a lot of people, but it does not burn me very bad. 28:32 Speaker 1: Although, 28:33 Speaker 1: now I know 28:35 Speaker 1: there is some reconstitution solution that can really, really cut down on that. 28:42 Speaker 1: There are some 28:44 Speaker 1: These peptides are a foreign substance. Even though we talked about 28:48 Speaker 1: them 28:48 Speaker 1: signaling natural processes in our body, but they still need to go in there and our body does recognize them at times as something foreign. Okay? And so when 28:58 Speaker 1: our body sees something foreign, it tries to get rid of it, okay, by developing histamines. 29:02 Speaker 1: And that's what we see as an allergic reaction, right? Those histamines, that's what 29:08 Speaker 1: they manifest to our eyes as. So some of those, like CJC's, 29:13 Speaker 1: Ipamorelin is 1 that is pretty common for, because it's really strong, for a body to 29:19 Speaker 1: recognize as not its own. And so you might get an extra red bump. You might even like have some 29:24 Speaker 1: different allergic reaction symptoms to it. Usually, a Benadryl will fix that problem. 29:30 Speaker 1: But 29:31 Speaker 1: unfortunately, now that your body knows that that's not you, every time that you do it, it's probably gonna be a little bit worse. So you may not be able you may be 1 who just can't do CJC or pomegranate anymore. 29:42 Speaker 1: It's usually how it works. I know some people just, you know, some people are just allergic to certain things. You know? Our friend Paul's allergic to MOTS-3.0, to be honest. He's like, Dude, I wish I could do it. I just can't do it. I didn't know that. 29:53 Speaker 1: And 29:55 Speaker 1: there are just- 29:56 Speaker 0: You know what's funny? Let me stop you there, because I wanna say something funny about how Will and I talk about how we're all science projects and we're all different. You need to find what works for you. He just said to you that when he injects NAD, and I know this because he tells me often, stings like a bitch. And then when he injects GHK-3two 30:11 Speaker 0: 0 it doesn't sting. So I'm the opposite. So I can inject NAD. I do it every day, I don't ever have a problem with it. But GHK-3two 30:18 Speaker 0: 0 it's not every time. It's just sometimes it stings. Like for me, I do it kind of in my thigh 30:25 Speaker 0: at night and it's 30:26 Speaker 0: not every time. Sometimes I get this. It's like I have a dead leg for an hour and it's definitely hurts, but like, 30:33 Speaker 0: you know, it's worth the pain to me. But a lot of people are like, I can't do it. You know, like, the point of that is not I'll talk about that. The point is like, we're all different, man. So if you get 30:42 Speaker 0: a different reaction than your friend, it doesn't necessarily mean the peptides are bad. It just means you're different, and just understand that. And I think important question would be, 30:52 Speaker 0: are peptides safe? Let's both answer that. So are peptides safe? 30:58 Speaker 0: Yes, I'll answer that 1st. Absolutely, 31:01 Speaker 0: they're safe. We know there's no deaths from it. There's no overdoses 31:05 Speaker 0: from it. 31:09 Speaker 0: So, think the only thing you need to worry about is getting bunk 31:11 Speaker 0: peptides. 31:12 Speaker 0: You have a lot of peptide companies sprouting up all over, and this is not a knock on any peptide company, just like we support sub peptides, but you're going to have some that are good, some that suck. And if it's like in regards to cheap 31:25 Speaker 0: or 31:27 Speaker 0: certain peptides, you just might get an infection because they suck. So that's the only, I think, worry. But other than that, if you get clean peptides, 31:35 Speaker 0: they're amazing. 31:37 Speaker 0: They're they are safe is my answer to that. Absolutely. And I couldn't 31:41 Speaker 1: agree more. There is no really direct, unlike all these, like we talked about at the beginning, unlike steroids and such 31:48 Speaker 1: that have a direct 31:50 Speaker 1: negative 31:51 Speaker 1: impact on your endocrine system, right, which is your hormones. 31:54 Speaker 1: Like, nothing 31:56 Speaker 1: about these peptides directly is going to be harmful to you. Now, 32:01 Speaker 1: there are, like, overabuse. 32:03 Speaker 1: Now, there is no overdoses, 32:04 Speaker 1: secondary 32:05 Speaker 1: factors. For example, semaglutide, 32:08 Speaker 1: right, 32:09 Speaker 1: You take that, it reduces the hell out of your appetite. It makes you a little bit nauseous, 32:13 Speaker 1: which is not going to kill you. It's just going to be not very good for you. But what, in turn, what can happen is if a person keeps doing semaglutide and they don't eat any food 32:23 Speaker 1: for 3 weeks, right, 32:25 Speaker 1: then their vision starts not being as great, right? Their hair maybe might fall -Right. Their teeth are 32:31 Speaker 1: to you know, are going to get weak and brittle, you know? It's not the peptide's fault. That is what happens when the person starves themself. Right? Well, it's not the peptide doing that to you. Now it's the peptide that's making you help to not eat as much food 32:45 Speaker 1: or any food. But that's the general I mean, 32:49 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's kind of like a warning to yourself, guys. Just don't be dumb, and you will be just fine. Right. 32:55 Speaker 0: Mean, too, there's gonna be upgrades and stuff. So Semaglutide is kind of such an outdated version of the GLP-1s. 33:02 Speaker 0: And 1 thing that I'll mention just for some people, because, know, Will and I talk a lot to a lot of people 33:07 Speaker 0: that take GLP-1s 33:09 Speaker 0: and Retatrutide and Regeneron is I think the best peptide out there. I think you guys all know that we know that. We think that. But there are people that get an itchy skin or a 33:19 Speaker 0: rash on not rash. 33:22 Speaker 0: My understanding is like their shirt hurts when they put it on and it's usually short lived. Yeah. But it's enough to talk about. I don't have never felt that. I've been taking it for a long time and I don't ever feel it, but it's enough. People are different. That's my point. You could have 2 people inject the same bottle and 1 have that in reaction and 1 other, and it's not the peptide, it's the person. Yep. I have a girlfriend who does, 33:43 Speaker 1: I forget what it is, but it makes her armpits itchy. 33:48 Speaker 0: Liz's hair scratches sometimes when I give her Tesamorelin. 33:51 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah. 33:53 Speaker 1: So, right, there's I don't know. 33:56 Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? She's like, I don't know. I'm itchy. Yeah. Like, what? Now now give me some questions about, yes, general categories. Right? So we started we started this a bit ago. I just kinda wanted to give the people a bit more kind of background of just really more basic info. Oh, great. That's awesome. But 34:13 Speaker 1: there are just general categories, 34:15 Speaker 1: and so we can kinda help out with what are some ideas of so, you know, how about fat loss? 34:23 Speaker 1: AOD. We'll just give you a little bit of a list. Right? I'll tell them fill fill in blanks for me maybe. AOD 9 6 0 4. 100%. SLU- best for that. 100%. That's probably 1 of best. Sloop, MOTS-1. 34:35 Speaker 0: All 34:37 Speaker 1: Retatrutide. 34:39 Speaker 1: Sorry, I say it wrong. Usually, everybody people get mad at me. He's finally changed, and he's been saying it. Retatrutide 34:44 Speaker 0: forever. 34:46 Speaker 1: It just doesn't roll off the tongue right for me. SLU-pp-three 34:50 Speaker 1: 32. 34:51 Speaker 1: Tesamorelin. 34:54 Speaker 1: Tesamorelin is really interesting. That 1 falls in a few categories, but that is absolutely just targets your belly fat. It's revolutionary. 35:02 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the holy grail in supplements as people always wanna know, how do I burn fat off of just my stomach? 35:08 Speaker 1: Well Here you go. We go. Tesamorelin has actually done it, and it's freaking FDA approved to do so. 35:13 Speaker 1: It's 35:15 Speaker 0: the 1. So if you talk about, like, if you're injured, we get that kind of question. I think I think kinda like the GLP-1s are the kind of the gateway gateway drug, so to speak, into peptides. That's 1 1 of the gateways. The 2nd gateway would be like 35:28 Speaker 0: the healing peptides because everybody gets hurt, even if it's like you're playing softball and you slide into 3rd and you hurt your ankle. 35:35 Speaker 0: Hey, how can I fix this? Obviously, 35:37 Speaker 0: we're big fans. 35:38 Speaker 0: I won't answer for you, but Wolverine, which is a TB-500and 35:42 Speaker 0: the BPC-157 35:43 Speaker 0: blend. 35:44 Speaker 0: But we 35:45 Speaker 0: talked about it last week, but there's tons of blends. You have the CLO, the GLO, the TriHeal. 35:50 Speaker 0: Which one's best for you? I don't know. I mean, it's kind of contingent upon what you're trying to fix. I think if it's a larger injury, 35:57 Speaker 0: TB-five hundred is going to be the powerhouse to that. If it's like tendonitis 36:01 Speaker 0: or tendon things or rips in your shoulder, BPC-157, 36:05 Speaker 0: because that will bring blood to that area where the TB will flow through your body. 36:11 Speaker 0: Let me ask you that. That's actually a good question because I know you're good at this type of stuff. So like, what would you say 36:17 Speaker 0: you have Clo, you have Glow, you have TriHeal, and you have the Wolverine, and then you have them separate. So in your opinion on that, is there anything in particular 36:27 Speaker 0: that, like, why would somebody run just TB-five hundred or why would somebody run just BPC-157 36:32 Speaker 0: when there's blends now? Do you what are your opinion on that? It's just opinion. 36:37 Speaker 1: I think why would somebody just wanna do 1 of those? Well, for financial reasons. It's literally the only reason. 36:44 Speaker 1: Generally, we got 4 big healers. K? It's BPC-one 36:47 Speaker 1: hundred 57. K? That is just let's think let's go break it down. Tendons and ligaments, 36:52 Speaker 1: that's what BPC is gonna do. TB-five hundred is gonna be a massive anti inflammatory, 36:58 Speaker 1: but also 36:59 Speaker 1: boost your stem cell production and the stem cells that say, heal, heal, heal, heal, heal. K? This tells you where to go, allows body to absorb 37:09 Speaker 1: more 37:11 Speaker 1: more of the building materials, essentially. 37:13 Speaker 0: This thing just kind of sends all the workers there. Got the you got the BPC and then the TB 500 and the GHKCU 37:21 Speaker 0: that's gonna enhance your collagen. 37:23 Speaker 1: Collagen production. GHKCU will enhance your own collagen production and especially in the dermis layer, your skin. 37:30 Speaker 1: That is why it's being used for cosmetic purposes. 37:34 Speaker 1: K? BPC 37:35 Speaker 1: collagen 37:36 Speaker 1: signals where the collagen goes, and it allows your body to absorb it. Because when we eat food, a lot of it has collagen, but we can't really turn a lot of that into collagen the way we should. BPC helps that. And KPV is our last 1, and it's primarily just focused on the gut. 37:51 Speaker 1: Amazing. 37:52 Speaker 1: And I we and I guess we are leaving out that BPC's 37:55 Speaker 1: other action is it was derived in the gut, and it is there to really help that to reinforce that mucus membrane layer that protects your stomach from your stomach acid, which is huge. Yeah. It's the cause of leaky gut or IBS. 38:08 Speaker 1: Right? It's when your stomach burns a hole in that mucus layer. 38:11 Speaker 1: Yeah. The BPC 38:13 Speaker 1: naturally 38:14 Speaker 1: fortifies that, 38:16 Speaker 1: but it will find you where you if injected, it will find where you're deficient, and it will go right there. Usually, your tendons and ligaments, if you have a tendonitis, torn tendon, wham, right there. So those are your main healers. Now your question was why would somebody choose 1? I personally 38:33 Speaker 1: 1 reason GHKC, 38:34 Speaker 1: you can do really high doses of all of those except for GHKC 38:37 Speaker 1: with a copper peptide. 38:40 Speaker 1: So that's what's in Glow and Clow. 38:42 Speaker 1: I personally would 38:45 Speaker 1: I like this this compound called Triheal, which gives you 25 38:48 Speaker 1: mg 38:49 Speaker 1: of TB-five 38:50 Speaker 1: hundred, 10 mg of BPC, 38:53 Speaker 1: 10 10 mg of KPV. 38:55 Speaker 1: Everybody can use some gut health, but that really, really, really just heals the hell out of the injury. 39:03 Speaker 1: Also, 39:05 Speaker 1: the systemic 39:06 Speaker 1: versus the local effects, 39:09 Speaker 1: right? They're different peptides. 39:11 Speaker 1: Systemic, folks, means it affects you system wide. 39:15 Speaker 1: Okay? 39:16 Speaker 1: Localized means it really does not travel well throughout your body and is just going to kind of work right there. BPC 39:23 Speaker 1: it does have a systemic effect, although 39:27 Speaker 1: it really works really good where you inject it. TB-five 39:30 Speaker 1: hundred, 39:31 Speaker 1: same thing, a little bit better on 39:34 Speaker 1: the systemic fixing. Something like SNAP-eight 39:37 Speaker 1: really 39:38 Speaker 1: needs to be either 39:40 Speaker 1: injected. It's what's 39:42 Speaker 1: medicine behind Botox, right? But it either needs to be injected or it needs to be transdermally 39:47 Speaker 1: put on the skin that you want tightened. 39:49 Speaker 1: Hence, face serum. Hence, face serum. Yes. So you got the healers, 39:54 Speaker 0: which I think a lot of people know about that. And then let's go through a few more and then we'll kind of wrap it up. So you got anti aging 40:01 Speaker 0: NAD, JC-3Cu. I'll throw it HGH in there. Yeah. All 40:05 Speaker 1: of the HGH secretagogues. 40:08 Speaker 1: Okay? That is another category, right? There's a whole bunch of there's a group of peptides that 40:14 Speaker 1: will affect your tell your body's pituitary gland to create more natural human growth hormone, okay, as opposed to regular HGH, which just gives you your human growth hormone, which can 40:24 Speaker 1: make your body slow down on its production. 40:28 Speaker 1: This naturally tells your body, hey, let's make more naturally. Right. Those 40:33 Speaker 1: are 40:34 Speaker 1: starting at the top of the list, Tesamorelin, 40:37 Speaker 1: Ipamorelin, 40:39 Speaker 1: Sermorelin, 40:41 Speaker 1: GHRP-six, 40:42 Speaker 1: which side effects, I wouldn't really use that 1. 40:46 Speaker 0: Hexamorelin. 40:47 Speaker 1: Hexamorelin. 40:48 Speaker 1: The other ones that we're really not mentioning are kind of CJC. 40:51 Speaker 1: Are old news. 40:53 Speaker 1: CJC 12 95 is very strong and very effective. 40:58 Speaker 1: It's between that or 41:00 Speaker 1: Tesamorelin. 41:01 Speaker 1: But those all, yeah, tell your body to make more growth hormone, which makes your bones stronger, makes your skin heal back faster, makes your body heal back faster, will help after a while in consistent use, get rid of wrinkles over time. 41:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. 41:14 Speaker 0: You got that thrown into 41:17 Speaker 0: the anti aging. Let's talk about 41:19 Speaker 0: skin health. That's easy 1, GHK-3Cu. 41:22 Speaker 0: I will throw that out there. Copper. 41:25 Speaker 0: Copper is amazing. You 41:27 Speaker 0: have it in the healing peptides too, but you also have it in skin hair for skin collagen 41:33 Speaker 0: production, 41:34 Speaker 0: hair, face, wrinkles, 41:36 Speaker 0: cuts. It helps with cuts, believe it or not. So that's whether it's in the healer. GHK-3Cu, 41:41 Speaker 0: I think is a favorite because it is so powerful. As Will said, that's 1 of the ones you can't take a whole, whole shit load like you can on some of the other ones. 41:49 Speaker 0: So you got skin, hair, nails. Cognition. 41:51 Speaker 0: Cognition 41:52 Speaker 1: for sure. So cognition and mood, I guess, another category. Right? Semax, 41:57 Speaker 1: Selank, 41:58 Speaker 1: PE-2228. 42:00 Speaker 1: Sure. Pinealon, 42:03 Speaker 1: Dihexa. 42:08 Speaker 1: And so all of those are all what we call nootropics 42:11 Speaker 1: and will affect your brain, your mood, and cognition. 42:16 Speaker 1: Alright. 42:18 Speaker 1: Any other thing antiaging longevity, which we did there. We didn't mention Epitalon. 42:23 Speaker 0: I think, like, you could do 1 that's like like sleep. You could throw a Tesamorelin in there because Tesamorelin does help you sleep DSIP. Yep. 42:31 Speaker 0: I mean, so the point of that is this, and we'll wrap this up because we're about 45 minutes in, we're gonna do 30. 42:37 Speaker 0: There's a peptide or peptides, plural, right, for everything. 42:41 Speaker 0: I mean, so to kind of circle back around and wrap this up, they're amazing. 42:45 Speaker 0: There's a reason why everybody and their brother are talking about them, and there's a reason why you're listening to this podcast. 42:53 Speaker 0: But again, you want to make it a lifestyle change. You want to optimize your hormones. You want to start eating right. Don't be the person that takes 43:02 Speaker 0: Retatrutide 43:03 Speaker 0: and sits on the couch and eats Doritos, man. It'll probably still work really well, but the 43:08 Speaker 0: whole objective is to optimize you, to become a better you and to live a better life. I think that's ultimately what most people seek, 43:16 Speaker 0: right? Don't we all want to feel 43:17 Speaker 0: awesome and have a good sex drive and have good energy? 43:21 Speaker 0: If your knees ache, not have achy knees and get on your knees and play with your kids or your grandkids, right? This is the answer. But it's not the only answer because this is not the fix all. 43:32 Speaker 0: It's optimization of hormones. It's eating right. It's cutting out seed oils and sugars and all that crap that we all eat that's in everything. Then it's when you get that stuff and you take these peptides, they will just they're amazing. So that's 43:45 Speaker 0: the synopsis. I think that was great, bro. I enjoyed that. That was cool. I thought you good. Hopefully that we didn't bounce around too much for everyone. 43:52 Speaker 1: That's it, man. Hopefully, we answered some of the just the basic questions, which we get. There's new people every single day. Yeah. Right? That are just getting into peptides, right, and need to hear this and have lots of some of these basic questions. So they're not bad, and we were there once too. So 44:06 Speaker 1: it's all good. 44:08 Speaker 0: There's just so much. I mean, there's just so much to go. We love this stuff. We can talk about it forever. I think I want to throw some out to the people listening because we always try to ask and we try to give them what you want. Another thing is, again, we're almost done with the podcast room. It's so close, maybe 2 weeks. If we're lucky, 1 week and we're excited, then Will and I will be in the same room and have different cameras as we're going to really elevate it, enhance it. 44:29 Speaker 0: Thanks to all you guys for making us do that and elevating us. 44:34 Speaker 0: We just so some of you know, we wanted to kind of throw this out there quickly, you know, what Whether you know what we do or not, we don't talk about it intentionally for a reason because we did not want this podcast to be about this. We wanted to kind of be about 44:46 Speaker 0: peptides and our love for them. 44:48 Speaker 0: We do do 44:50 Speaker 0: white labeling and wholesales 44:52 Speaker 0: quite a few doctors out there. If you are a doctor that's listening and looking for that, 44:56 Speaker 0: just DM and we help you out. We wanted to let you know that. And 45:00 Speaker 0: then what do you want to talk about? So Will and I are as we go into 2026, 45:04 Speaker 0: he and I were talking about this this morning. 45:06 Speaker 0: We're going to sit down in the next couple of weeks and start to plot just 45:10 Speaker 0: the different angles that we want to do for different businesses and different the podcast, just the different things in our lives. 45:16 Speaker 0: We want to kind of ask you guys, we're thinking about having a doctor on a month, 45:22 Speaker 0: Maybe at the end of the month or something like that, we're touring around with it. What do you think? 45:26 Speaker 0: You had Doctor. Scott on, he's rad. We have some other doctors that we definitely would like to bring on. So let 45:33 Speaker 0: us know what you think about that. Give us some feedback as we listen. And again, we just want to kind of give the listeners what they want, man. We love talking about this stuff. We do it for fun. Yep. So ideas like ranking 45:46 Speaker 1: different peptides, right? Top 3 for this, top 3 for that, blah, blah, blah. Maybe different peptides 45:51 Speaker 1: for different 45:54 Speaker 1: conditions, right, that are kind of adjunct to treatment. 45:58 Speaker 1: And I think, J. D, I think that having, like, Doctor. Scott on for our Q and A 46:04 Speaker 1: podcast would be awesome. 46:06 Speaker 1: Yeah. They'd And maybe telling people, hey, what's up? Or saving some questions that would be especially good for 46:11 Speaker 1: a holistic, like, doctor like him to answer. Yeah. You know, he he specializes 46:17 Speaker 1: in blood work and going into the the minuscule, 46:21 Speaker 1: minuscule, minuscule things 46:23 Speaker 1: to make sure, like, your overall wellness picture is coming together and works out right. 46:27 Speaker 0: Yeah. 46:28 Speaker 1: So, 46:29 Speaker 0: yeah, dude, we're open. Do you know what it was like? We'll we'll try to bring him on and have him go through. We don't need to it's, you know, we'll keep the anonymous 46:37 Speaker 0: who it is, but somebody's No, you go through my blood work. I mean, shit. I think that's cool. There we go. That'd be cool. So we'll do stuff like that. So anyway, as we sit and plot the attack for 2026, 46:46 Speaker 0: you know, we plan on elevating and do a lot of cool stuff. So we're always open to ideas and whatnot because 46:54 Speaker 0: more brains are better than 2. So throw some ideas at us and if it sounds good, we'll talk about it and we'll make it work. Yes, sir. Go. Yeah, that was good, man. 47:02 Speaker 0: Else? 47:03 Speaker 0: Nothing. Nothing. Until next time. Back to work. Everybody, we love you. We'll catch you in the next round. 47:09 Speaker 1: Later. Good night.
