I'm your host, JD Denham, and right next to me, back home, I'm with my buddy, William T. Haws. What's up? What's up? What's up, Keith? 0:21 Speaker 0: Good to be home, brother. Good to be home. It is Tuesday 0:24 Speaker 0: before the holiday, last couple of days of the year. 0:28 Speaker 1: I'm ready for new year. How about you? I'm ready for new year. I mean, it's been a great last year. I'm ready for It has been a great last year. It has been a really good last year and exciting and busy, but 0:39 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. New year is always kind of refreshing. Right? Yeah. New new stuff, new goals, new new everything. Right? I know it's just a date, but 0:48 Speaker 1: but that's the funny thing. It's like we we can always just reset 0:52 Speaker 1: Yeah. Whenever we want to, really. There's nobody saying that we have to wait till this stupid arbitrary date, but- 1:00 Speaker 0: It's kind cool to have it. It's kind of cool to have it, I guess. Yeah. I don't remember the success 1:05 Speaker 0: ratio 1:06 Speaker 0: of 1:07 Speaker 0: New Year's resolutions, but it was low. Low, I guarantee. 1:11 Speaker 0: I always like Dig Man. I like when you when you go to the gym, like for the 1st 3 weeks, you're like, Dude, like, when's this going to die down? Yeah, no doubt. When you guys given up on your goals, damn it. Which sucks because we, you know, we want people to be successful. But unfortunately, 1:24 Speaker 0: human nature is most people don't. Most 1:27 Speaker 1: people don't. Especially people who've had the same goal, most people have had the same goal for 10 years, right? Like, 1:33 Speaker 1: it still hasn't happened. I don't know. You know, some drastic changes need to happen. I know that, like, in my life, 1:40 Speaker 1: dude, when I was out 1:42 Speaker 1: being addicted to everything, 1:43 Speaker 1: you know, every Monday or every tomorrow was the day. 1:48 Speaker 1: Best day to start working out. It was the day I'm going to stop. Right? I might as well go just go crazy right now. Yeah. Tomorrow, 1:54 Speaker 1: stop. And I just never did until I just drastically 1:58 Speaker 1: made some changes. 2:00 Speaker 0: In enough pain. In enough miserable pain. So hopefully, yes, people are there in enough miserable pain. Humans do not change unless they're in enough pain. And that kind of sucks to say that, but it just is what it is. That's true. So did I guess? That's the truth. You know, and it's funny because, man, I don't know. I haven't talked about it, and I've been thinking about things lately and just life. And I always do some reflection at 2:23 Speaker 0: the coming of it in the year, think back and just how was the year? What do I want in the year to come? And 2:29 Speaker 0: I don't know, man, the last 2 years in particular 2:32 Speaker 0: for me 2:33 Speaker 0: have been so much growth, 2:35 Speaker 0: so much catching up, I think, to the right perspective, at least where I'm supposed to be now, which is like, 2:41 Speaker 0: dude, I really just want to be around 2:43 Speaker 0: people that like, 2:45 Speaker 0: you know, are positive, be around people that like, want to do big shit. And like, I don't want to be around anybody that you know. I don't want to be around anybody that's like just comfortable with just being comfortable. You know what I mean? Like, that stuff's contagious and like, man, it's never been more vivid and more just real 3:00 Speaker 1: than the last couple years in particular, man. Yeah. Yeah. And people who don't complicate my life. Yeah. Unnecessarily. 3:08 Speaker 0: Like like just like positivity vampires or like, you know, they will just suck the life out of you. They come in, you're like, oh, dude. Here they here they come. You know what I mean? Yeah. And I think it comes with maybe just being older. 3:20 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, and more mature and realizing, hey. I don't need 3:26 Speaker 1: to everybody to like me or to like everybody, 3:29 Speaker 1: and that's okay. Yeah. 3:31 Speaker 1: And 3:32 Speaker 1: it comes with some independence too. Like, hey, feel more more, I don't know, content with 3:39 Speaker 1: with oneself. 3:40 Speaker 1: And so 3:41 Speaker 1: I can say, I don't need 3:44 Speaker 1: this distraction. 3:45 Speaker 1: I don't need 3:46 Speaker 1: those friends, 3:48 Speaker 0: etcetera. Right? And it's easy to cut them out. That's funny you say that. I, the, my podcast I did in Cabo, you know, on my personal night, I literally said that exact same thing about 3:58 Speaker 0: how, 4:00 Speaker 0: like finding 4:01 Speaker 0: comfortability in yourself and not having to be around a lot of friends or whatnot is liberation. When you literally do not give a shit what anybody thinks anymore, 4:09 Speaker 0: that's true liberation. True liberation. It's true liberation. It's true just living where you don't care what anybody thinks. I guess that comes with age. I don't know. Maybe we're both on that same part. And I think that, right, it comes with age. I think it and a lot of other liberation, 4:23 Speaker 1: right, of 4:24 Speaker 1: being 4:25 Speaker 1: your own person. For example, 4:28 Speaker 1: those of you who are still on their mother's, like, phone bills or their parents' phone bills, right? Get off it. I've been working with somebody to be like, hey, 4:37 Speaker 1: you're a grown up. Like, you don't need to call for permission anymore- Yeah. And just separate it. Cut that umbilical cord. Yeah. 4:44 Speaker 1: Life will be a lot easier too when you just take control of some shit and just quit relying on other people. 4:51 Speaker 0: Right? 4:52 Speaker 1: Because you can't. And so so so a lot of those a lot of that that ability comes with with finances 4:57 Speaker 1: and a little bit more financial freedom Oh, yeah. Allows 5:00 Speaker 1: allows more and more freedom. True that. 5:04 Speaker 0: Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure eliminates stress. 5:07 Speaker 0: Yeah. I know. Money doesn't buy happiness. I do have a bigger bank account, to be honest with you. I've had both. So Right. Absolutely. 5:14 Speaker 1: You know? Well, tell, you know, tell a poor person that money doesn't buy happiness. Yeah. Right. Tell them money isn't everything. Like, money does 5:22 Speaker 1: money does help a whole lot. Stress. Stress sucks. Yeah. I mean, number 1 reasons that race relationships fall apart is sex and money. Yeah. Pink and green is what we like to call them. Very true. Very true, man. But that is generally the, 5:38 Speaker 1: yeah, the problem the culprit to most problems. 5:42 Speaker 1: So give it up, ladies, and make some money. In this world. Just joking. And then I guess in world worldwide, it's religion. Right? It's the other. True. Huge, massive 5:51 Speaker 1: global 5:53 Speaker 1: causer of of strife. 5:55 Speaker 0: It is. Breakups. Breakups. 5:57 Speaker 1: And, I mean, I guess, mass deaths are probably religions the most to blame. Yeah. Not a specific religion. Just everybody else just believing they're believing they're right. Yeah. Really, which is My way of just like pride. It's not Good. Ego. That's the biggest problem. I'm right. How do you know? I don't know. I just do it. I don't know. I just put I'm right. Since since you're wrong, you got it. True. 6:19 Speaker 1: Anyway, dude, yeah, I don't know. Like, I am happy with the new year. It's cool. I guess it is a the financial clock 6:25 Speaker 1: says it's a new year. So 6:28 Speaker 1: that is something that's just not arbitrary. 6:30 Speaker 0: Yeah. 6:31 Speaker 1: And 6:32 Speaker 1: there's lots of we all there's lots of lots of goals, and it's a good excuse too to 6:39 Speaker 1: to roll out new policies for business and things that you've been wanting to do. Oh, yeah. 6:46 Speaker 1: Let's say, well, now it's new year. Doing 6:49 Speaker 1: things differently. 6:50 Speaker 1: Usually, those are a good thing maybe that people have been dragging their feet on. I know we have a few. So 6:56 Speaker 0: Write them down. Make it easy, as I always say. Absolutely. 6:59 Speaker 0: Well, today, 7:01 Speaker 0: ladies and gentlemen, is the Q and A episode, 7:04 Speaker 0: which we love and we love. You guys had some good questions today. I'm gonna always kick it off to Will because he likes to start us off. Let me put my glasses on so I can read. Don't don't judge me. Nah, it's all. Go for it. No, it's okay. All right. 7:17 Speaker 1: So 7:19 Speaker 1: number 7:20 Speaker 1: 1, 7:21 Speaker 1: can we 7:23 Speaker 1: combine somatropin 7:25 Speaker 1: 0.6 mg with Tesamorelin 1 mg apart from fasted 7:29 Speaker 1: to keep insulin levels in check, any other things to consider 7:34 Speaker 1: to keep it low? Doing Reta 2, 2 mg 7:38 Speaker 1: per 7:39 Speaker 1: week. 7:40 Speaker 1: So I guess let's 7:44 Speaker 1: so the question was, can you do HGH with Tesamorelin? 7:48 Speaker 1: Okay. 7:49 Speaker 0: Now we're assuming, or I should say I'm assuming, but that he he or she, you don't say, 7:55 Speaker 0: are doing it how we have suggested, which is HGH in the morning 7:59 Speaker 0: and then Tesamorelin at night. I'm assuming that's what he means instead of like taking them together. Yeah. Probably and hopefully. Hopefully. Right? Because that's what we have recommended because I do that. So let's go ahead and just answer it in that way. So yeah. Okay. Well, 1st of all, here's what I recommended is is I just always think if you're gonna take an HGH secretagogue, 8:19 Speaker 1: I think that you always should be taking a GHRH or GHRP. 8:22 Speaker 1: So 8:24 Speaker 1: the GHRH 8:28 Speaker 1: is the Tesamorelin. 8:30 Speaker 1: Okay? The GHRP 8:33 Speaker 1: is 8:34 Speaker 1: the 8:34 Speaker 1: Ipamorelin. Now I better make sure I have those correct 8:38 Speaker 1: because sometimes I mess those up. But basically, 8:43 Speaker 1: should I give them the scientific answer? 8:45 Speaker 1: Mhmm. The okay. So 8:48 Speaker 1: and then there I thought they asked about somatostatin, or did I start this wrong? 8:53 Speaker 0: Anyway 8:54 Speaker 1: I told you. Somas yeah. But okay. So somastatin so there is a problem. So there can be 9:00 Speaker 1: there is no problem with taking these together. Now I think I do think that taking Tesamorelin, 9:05 Speaker 1: Ipamorelin 9:07 Speaker 1: in the evening and growth hormone in the morning is the best way to do it. Growth hormone 9:12 Speaker 1: is 9:13 Speaker 1: exogenous, 9:14 Speaker 1: so that just puts the growth hormone in you and increases 9:19 Speaker 1: your IGF-one 9:20 Speaker 1: levels. Now, 9:22 Speaker 1: once your Now, the Tesamorelin, 9:25 Speaker 1: okay, works tells your pituitary to create more HGH. 9:31 Speaker 1: And the Ipamorelin 9:33 Speaker 1: works on your ghrelin receptor and just kind of it just increases your growth hormone pulses, 9:39 Speaker 1: not necessarily creates 9:42 Speaker 1: endogenous 9:43 Speaker 1: growth hormone. 9:44 Speaker 1: So 9:46 Speaker 1: there's a thing called somatostatin, which is a pumps the brakes when our body goes, hey, we have way too much IGF-one, 9:52 Speaker 1: right? And then our body kinda creates the somatostatin. So if taking 9:58 Speaker 1: HGH 9:59 Speaker 1: and your body will recognize, Hey, wow, we have all this H we have this IGF-one, it might start pumping the brakes. And the only thing it pumps the brakes on, the only thing that it can stop 10:08 Speaker 1: is your pituitary from making more ACH. And that's exactly what Tesamorelin 10:12 Speaker 1: is trying to do. So there can be an effect that it blunts 10:17 Speaker 1: the actual output or efficacy 10:20 Speaker 1: of the Tesamorelin 10:21 Speaker 1: because 10:23 Speaker 1: the somatostatin is increased there, and it's gonna blunt the pituitary from making more. Now that does not that blunting effect does not affect the ipamorelin. Ipamorelin is not the thing that is creating the growth hormone. It's just amplifying 10:35 Speaker 1: the pulses. 10:37 Speaker 1: So the ipamorelin and HGH have absolutely no contradictions. 10:41 Speaker 1: It will still work it'll still increase your pulses. 10:44 Speaker 1: Now but the testosterone may be blunted. But that's if we're using testosterone for 10:50 Speaker 1: typical growth hormone uses. The other thing Tesamorelin is FDA approved for is to burn belly fat. Okay? And it also helps improve sleep. Those 2 things will not be affected 11:03 Speaker 1: by somatostatin. 11:06 Speaker 1: And therefore, 11:07 Speaker 1: great, you still get the kinda enhanced sleep effect from 11:10 Speaker 1: Tesamorelin, 11:11 Speaker 1: and you still get some fat burning in your belly specifically, 11:15 Speaker 1: which is like the golden ticket. We don't want that. Yeah. I mean, for years, everybody's been saying, like, how do I just burn fat? How do I spot burn fat? Like and the answer is, you can't. 11:26 Speaker 1: God determines where you where you burn fat. But now 11:30 Speaker 1: Tesamorelin 11:31 Speaker 1: is literally is focusing on that belly fat portion to burn fat. So 11:37 Speaker 1: there is your answer. There is nothing bad about them? Like like like, there's gonna be no 11:43 Speaker 1: no contraindication. 11:45 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be really bad together. It just may blunt just that Tesamorelin effect 11:50 Speaker 1: of 11:51 Speaker 0: it creating more growth hormone. Yeah, you might wanna run the test of IpA, which we've recommended often. 11:57 Speaker 0: So to kind of combat that too, because IpA and the HGH will go well together. And I don't even think we even addressed that. So Somatropin for people don't know is HGH. That's your human growth hormone. 12:07 Speaker 0: I think those are great together. To answer your question, I'm 12:11 Speaker 0: doing that right now. I'm running the 12:13 Speaker 0: HGH in the morning and then Tesamorelin, 12:16 Speaker 0: Ipamorelin at night. 12:19 Speaker 0: As Will says, it burns that belly fat and I sleep like crap. It's So it helps out, right? I'm tired right now. There you go. All right, I'm up. All right. Wife is post pregnancy after 1 year. Had her on Reta and great results. Down 20 pounds in 2 months. Great. She's 27 and five'eleven and 12:38 Speaker 0: eating good and strength training 3 days a week. Just can't seem to shake the baby belly fat. Pooch. 12:44 Speaker 0: Around midsection, 12:46 Speaker 0: any thoughts on other angles to attack this area so she can get her trim waistline back? Thanks for the info. Many blessings your way. Good question. 12:57 Speaker 0: Down 20 pounds in 2 months, that's awesome. 13:00 Speaker 0: So 13:01 Speaker 0: here's the thing. Here's my answer to that. I'll answer it 1st if don't 13:05 Speaker 0: Yeah, go ahead. Do that. Okay, so 20 pounds in 2 months, that is amazing. 13:09 Speaker 0: Will and I were actually talking about this off camera about something else, but this works well for this. 13:15 Speaker 0: Retrutide 13:16 Speaker 0: is like, you're gonna burn 50 pounds you're gonna lose 50 pounds in 1 month. So many people are just it is a scientific breakthrough, but man, people are just expecting sometimes too much from them. She's been out for 2 months. Go slow. I think that you're running well, man. She's doing great. Just kind of keep going. I think you can add in the Tesamorelin 13:34 Speaker 0: into that because we just talked about it. I think that's great. 13:38 Speaker 0: Tesa 13:39 Speaker 0: and Retta are amazing, and I'm gonna throw in some AOD because AOD is I 13:45 Speaker 0: think those 3 together burn fat like crazy. 13:50 Speaker 0: So that would be my answer for you. And again, I just wanna kinda just just it's been 2 months. Just give it some time, man. She's 20 13:57 Speaker 0: pounds. Amazing. Just go slow and she will lose that, I promise you. Yeah. But that's my answer. What do you got? I would agree. You know, he said, hey. Is there any 14:07 Speaker 1: other angles? And and AOD 14:10 Speaker 1: Love AOD. Is the angle. Now she just had a baby, so 14:15 Speaker 1: I don't think that anything worth saying she's probably breastfeeding, hopefully. After a year. He says after a year. Oh, I'm sorry. She's a year. Oh, okay. My bad. So then forget what I just said. I think that everything you said is great and just, 14:27 Speaker 1: yeah, be consistent with the nutrition and training and that belt. Like, sorry, we lose weight. Like, that little belly fat pooch is the last thing to go. Yep. Guess what? Alcohol, by the way, too. I don't know if she's drinking, but if 14:41 Speaker 1: you those of you who have developed fat like that, alcohol fat is the fat that's right around your belly button and then starts growing out from there. Okay? Just FYI. 14:51 Speaker 1: That and that belly fat's the last part to go. So name of the game is just gonna be consistency 14:56 Speaker 1: and 14:57 Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing, but AOD is a good idea to try to add in there. 15:02 Speaker 0: Good job on you, girl. Yeah. No doubt. 20 pounds is too much. Good job. That's awesome. Alright, brother. Got to Alright. Sup, warriors? Do you guys have any thoughts on liver health peptides? 15:12 Speaker 1: So I've been told when you drop weight fast and use a fat burner like GLP-three, 15:17 Speaker 1: MOTS-nine, AOD, etcetera, all the fat burning toxins get filtered through your liver and may affect your ALTAST. 15:24 Speaker 1: I actually have seen it in my blood work. My ALT 15:27 Speaker 1: AST has risen. I took glutathione 1500 mg, 15:31 Speaker 1: a full full vial, and it has helped maintain my AST at a normal level. ALT is still high, 15:38 Speaker 1: not far from the range, but I would like it to be in a healthy range. What do you guys think about Ovagen or Levagen peptides? 15:45 Speaker 1: I have heard much I haven't heard much about them 15:49 Speaker 1: being used and not sure if it will help. I will be taking a sonogram to further my research. I'll let you guys know my findings. Thanks for your time 15:57 Speaker 1: and answers. 15:59 Speaker 0: Good old warriors. Good stuff. You wanna take that 1? Not yeah. 16:03 Speaker 1: So that's kind of a 16:05 Speaker 1: I will leave 1st of all, we're not doctors, and so we are not here trying to give too much 16:11 Speaker 1: advice. It sounds like you some of you know what you're doing. You're doing And, all the right 16:16 Speaker 1: yeah, you are right 16:17 Speaker 1: that when we burn a lot of fat, it needs to kinda go somewhere, and some of that bad that's bad. Right? 16:23 Speaker 1: There's toxins in there. So it needs to get out of you, and those things get you know, go through your liver 16:30 Speaker 1: and these other internal organs. So 16:32 Speaker 1: so that is going to happen, and what you are experiencing is not uncommon. 16:37 Speaker 1: K? 16:38 Speaker 1: And 16:39 Speaker 1: now the Alvogen, LIVIGEN, 16:41 Speaker 1: LIVIGEN, 16:43 Speaker 1: have read up on some of them, personally have not used them, but and have and have had some you know, have talked to some people about them. 16:50 Speaker 1: I really do think that they are not 16:54 Speaker 1: I think that there are other 16:57 Speaker 1: the things that we know to help cleanse your liver are better than those. Right? They're definitely not gonna, like, fix those issues. Glutathione is probably the best thing you possibly could can do, and so you did you did that. The sonogram's a good idea also. And happily, you know, tell us what you tell us those 17:16 Speaker 1: results. Right? Because we're always into learning stuff. But- 17:20 Speaker 1: Yeah. TUCA and acetylcysteine 17:23 Speaker 1: are some of the better liver cleanses. 17:25 Speaker 1: The liver like, I don't know. If we're talking about, like, rebuilding your liver, your liver and your gums are like 2 tissues in the body that doesn't really grow back. Now we used to think that neurotransmitters 17:35 Speaker 1: didn't, and now we realize they do. 17:38 Speaker 1: So so it could be a little bit wrong with that. I mean, science is we're still learning stuff, but 17:45 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the MOTS C is awesome. Actually, I think I would continue MOTS C and SS-thirty 1 because those are just gonna increase your mitochondrial health and your cell. NAD plus would be a really it would be also a good thing to add in There 17:58 Speaker 1: was 18:00 Speaker 1: NAD used to be a long time ago, actually, like in 18:03 Speaker 1: The UK, 18:04 Speaker 1: they opened up a clinic helping chronic alcoholics 18:07 Speaker 1: try to who are jaundiced and their liver was dying, 18:12 Speaker 1: and it was all about NAD, and they were showing lots and lots of promising results 18:17 Speaker 1: and saving people. And then the government came in and shut them down 18:21 Speaker 1: because it wasn't approved to treat that. But 18:24 Speaker 1: so if it'd be me personally and my family members, I would 18:29 Speaker 1: say try NAD plus also. 18:32 Speaker 0: Always. 18:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, man. I just that's about all I have to say on that without going too normal or too in-depth in trying to- 18:41 Speaker 0: Be a doctor. Tell you what to do or be a doctor. Yeah, I don't want to do that. Sounds like you've done some research too. I think, I mean, kind of going back to what we talked about before, I mean, everybody just wants to lose all this weight so fast. And like there's a health there's an unhealthy way to lose that. I mean, you're going to 18:56 Speaker 0: that stuff you're going to release some toxins and it can come out, your body 18:59 Speaker 0: has to filter it and it'll go through your liver. So you know what I mean? Slow, go slow, and you didn't gain all the weight 19:08 Speaker 0: overnight. 19:09 Speaker 1: No. So it's not good- It's like- lifetime, probably. Yeah, man. So go 19:14 Speaker 0: slow, go slow, my friends. 19:16 Speaker 1: Yep. All right, you're up next. Where are Where are we at here? Potts. Short run, 2 lines. What peptides 19:22 Speaker 0: would you recommend for people with POTS, 19:26 Speaker 0: if any? I remember hearing of people that took tirzepatide 19:30 Speaker 0: and that had helped. 19:32 Speaker 0: POTS. 19:34 Speaker 0: So POTS is a nervous 19:36 Speaker 0: system disorder. 19:38 Speaker 0: My understanding about it is like 19:40 Speaker 0: if you are 19:42 Speaker 0: sleeping or laying 19:43 Speaker 0: and then you get up, it shoots up your heart rate or there's gives you an irregular 19:48 Speaker 0: heartbeat. 19:50 Speaker 0: That sucks. 19:52 Speaker 0: That does not, does not. You know, what you're going to have with that 19:55 Speaker 0: particular 19:56 Speaker 0: issue is going to be fatigue, 19:59 Speaker 0: issues 20:00 Speaker 0: with exercise, 20:02 Speaker 0: tremors, 20:03 Speaker 0: brain fog. 20:04 Speaker 0: Again, we want to like make this clear because we have been dinged on YouTube a bit, and we're trying to just help most we can. We're not doctors, so let's make that clear. 20:13 Speaker 0: But I, if you were a family member, here's how I would treat it. I treat the symptoms, right? You have brain fog. You have fatigue, 20:22 Speaker 0: you know, so NAD would be good for that. SS-thirty 1, MOTS C 20:27 Speaker 0: for brain fog, 20:29 Speaker 0: those are great. Like I said, NAD. 20:31 Speaker 0: For exercise, 20:33 Speaker 0: you can always add in a secretagogue. 20:35 Speaker 0: I think that will help, even IGF-one, 20:38 Speaker 0: because you're going to be having some issues exercising. 20:41 Speaker 0: So those would be what I would recommend, and I'm always going to recommend these 3 with people that are dealing with stuff like that, which was going to be TA-one, 20:49 Speaker 0: Thymosin Alpha-one because it's for immunity. It's great for bringing down inflammation, and that's good for everybody. 20:55 Speaker 0: And then the typical 20:56 Speaker 0: BPC-one hundred 57 for gut and TB-five 100, TB-four 0 4, which is going to be for tissue repair and just those- Inflammation. All of those, right? So is that going to cure your problem? Probably not, but it can help the symptoms. That's how I attack that sort You of did say that, hey, you know, somebody like, Tirzepatide 21:16 Speaker 1: helped somebody out. LL-1L-3. There's 21:19 Speaker 1: it Tirzepatide can kind of lower, like, systemically lower inflammation a little bit, and that is why that 21:27 Speaker 1: could have helped that person. But as I have done some research, I wasn't very familiar with with POTS, but 21:33 Speaker 1: it can be a crapshoot. 21:35 Speaker 1: Looks like Gyzepatide A, it might help some people, right, but it might worsen others, especially if you aren't 21:43 Speaker 1: eating as much. Right? Right. That's gonna cause even more dizziness. 21:48 Speaker 1: And 21:49 Speaker 1: so I don't know. Be careful. That sure as hell is not the solution. 21:53 Speaker 1: Right? Tirzepatide 21:54 Speaker 1: is not the actual answer. Right? Like he said, so KPV 21:58 Speaker 1: KPV and BPC to help your gut inflammation. 22:02 Speaker 1: BPC 22:03 Speaker 1: is really like, there's some blood pooling. Right? That's why you're gonna feel dizzy is because blood isn't getting to your head. Yeah. So 22:11 Speaker 1: BPC 22:12 Speaker 1: really helps 22:15 Speaker 1: your veins, arteries, 22:18 Speaker 1: and will then help, therefore, blood flow. Yeah. 22:23 Speaker 1: What are some what are some MOTS c s s 31, right, to just help with your cellular energy and 22:29 Speaker 1: your mitochondrial 22:31 Speaker 1: health. 22:32 Speaker 1: I think all of those are potential answers that can help. But, again and again, I guess that's what I would say to somebody, to my family, say, hey. Why don't you give some of these things a try and see what happens? They sure as hell there is no way that we're gonna say this is the answer to your problem. Yeah. 22:48 Speaker 1: And these things may help in some people and may not in others. 22:52 Speaker 0: So 22:54 Speaker 0: I'm gonna tell you if it were me personally, I would rather take any type of peptides or any type of pharmaceutical. 23:00 Speaker 0: That's just me. 23:02 Speaker 0: For for most case. More choices. I'm just not a huge pharmaceutical guy. Yep. Not anymore. 23:07 Speaker 1: Alright. No. It's either you or me? Me. You're up. Alright. So I love your podcast. Thanks to all you do. I'm a 45 year or 44 year old female. 23:14 Speaker 1: Currently, 23:15 Speaker 1: hundred 50 pounds. 23:17 Speaker 1: 5 9. 23:18 Speaker 1: Eat pretty clean, mostly low carb, high protein, 150 grams. 23:23 Speaker 1: High fat, 23:24 Speaker 1: fruit and veggies with the occasional sweet or ice cream. Me too. Don't drink or any of that. Lift heavy. No stranger to the gym as an athlete seeing my body come back after having my last baby of 42. Ew. 23:37 Speaker 1: Trying to get more muscle back. Right? I think with the help of peptides, I can be stacked in my forties. Currently doing HRT, 23:45 Speaker 1: Reta Microdose, 23:47 Speaker 1: once 23:48 Speaker 1: 1 a week, 1 mg. Tesa, 23:50 Speaker 1: 1 mg at night, started for sleep. Glow at night, 2 mgs, 5 days on, 2 days off. 23:57 Speaker 1: NAD 500 23:59 Speaker 1: mgs, MOTS c, 10 mgs, 5 Amino Blend, 24:04 Speaker 1: 10 mg dose, about 15 mg, 3 to 4 times a week. Thinking I need to go up with the Tesa. Thoughts? 24:11 Speaker 1: Looking to put on muscle bikini model look. Should I up my calories and carbs to grow muscles plus higher Tesa dose, or do you see anything in my current stack protocol I should change? 24:23 Speaker 1: Great question. Your Tesamorelin 24:25 Speaker 1: well, 1st of all, I would make it be Tessa Ipa. 24:29 Speaker 1: K? 24:30 Speaker 1: That will really help out. The just they just work synergistically together, 24:35 Speaker 1: and it'll just make it that much more effective. Now you're at 1 mg, 1000 micrograms a day in the Tesa. I mean, different people it's fun. Different people have different tolerances for this. 24:46 Speaker 1: The 1 thing that we know and we see is, you know, people can if you increase that dose a little too much, you start you can start retaining water. So that's a good sign that 24:57 Speaker 1: maybe if you're going too high, maybe titrate slower on the way up. 25:02 Speaker 1: 1 mg, 25:03 Speaker 1: frankly, is kind of a is pretty darn good dose of that. And as a female base at you're at 150 pounds, 25:10 Speaker 1: I don't know how much 25:12 Speaker 1: higher you would wanna go. What I would do though is take Tessayippa Blend 25:17 Speaker 1: and do a milligram of each of those. K? 25:21 Speaker 1: I put on muscle. That's what's what you want to do? 25:25 Speaker 1: IGF-one. 25:27 Speaker 1: A try IGF-1LR 25:28 Speaker 1: 3. 0, I mean, I would give that a try. 25:32 Speaker 1: There is luckily, you are a woman. 25:35 Speaker 1: And 25:36 Speaker 1: for men, for peptides, there's just not that many great peptides to put on a bunch of muscle. They're 25:41 Speaker 1: just not strong enough. They are not steroids, and they're just not gonna affect you hormonally strong enough. But women are affected a lot easier. 25:49 Speaker 1: So 25:50 Speaker 1: so you have a good chance there. And you know the drill. Like, it sounds like you know what you're doing. Right? 25:56 Speaker 1: Eat food. Do you need to eat more carbs to put on muscle? Yeah. Probably. You also need to eat fat to put on muscle. You need to eat carbs in conjunction with protein, though. So like just as a rule, don't ever eat carbs alone. 26:10 Speaker 1: Okay? Don't eat no need for just eating carbs. If you're gonna eat carbs, cool. You can have higher amount of carbs with your protein and let them go down the hatch at the same time. 26:21 Speaker 1: More frequent protein intake definitely before bed. That's when we build all of our muscle. Right? Is right is is while we're sleeping. Why? Because that's when our growth hormone 26:30 Speaker 1: pulse is the highest. 26:32 Speaker 1: And that's when the body just has nothing else to worry about, 26:36 Speaker 1: no stress, nothing. And it finally can just do the things it's been, you know, it's putting on the back burner to do. 26:42 Speaker 1: Long term, short term memory, long term memory, 26:45 Speaker 1: converting that into long term memory, and adding muscle. So I don't know. You you seem to be in just 26:52 Speaker 1: She didn't say the time frame. Right? You didn't say time frame, but even for a for a for a man, like, putting on, like, 2 pounds of muscle 27:01 Speaker 1: in a month is incredibly high. 27:03 Speaker 1: Right? Unless you're super skinny and you're just and you haven't done anything ever ever before and, you know, you're 30 years old, then you start just blasting a bunch of steroids, you're gonna gain more muscle than that. But 27:15 Speaker 1: for a woman, you know, it's gonna take a little bit of time. 27:18 Speaker 1: Okay? It will come back since you're an athlete. 42 is about a good age too. Right? Metabolism slowed down a little bit, 44. 27:26 Speaker 1: And you can put some more muscle on. But maybe, I don't know, I like SLU-p in your position. You're gonna do want it for muscle on. We gotta stay lean too. Right? Absolutely. And that will help with the nutrient partitioning. That will really just so will IGF-1LR-three. 27:39 Speaker 1: Shove the protein into the right places. Shove all the vitamins and nutrients 27:43 Speaker 1: into the right places. 27:45 Speaker 0: That's all I got for that. So you were thinking so you were thinking keeper at the the the milligram. 27:50 Speaker 0: Yeah. Retta. You wouldn't go up? Well, I think for Tessa. 27:54 Speaker 0: Oh, you you said that. I thought you said Retta. I was No. No. I did not say Retta. I hope I did not. I didn't mean Retta, and I didn't even address retta. So go ahead. I thought you did. Okay. So I was gonna say, I don't know. Yeah, you can always 1 mg of retta is super low, with super low. So you can always tweak that a little bit. You know? Like Will said, gaining muscle is great, but you also want to get lean. Right? Getting lean, you look more ripped anyway. 28:19 Speaker 0: So we'll just take it. SLU-PP-332 28:22 Speaker 0: is amazing. I love it. Oh, man, I love it. I love it. I love it. I would do that and I would add in 1 of my favorites, which is AOD. 28:30 Speaker 0: AOD for women is just magical. AOD and Tesamorelin together, 28:34 Speaker 0: I've literally witnessed it. I'm a bride and man, it worked fast. So AOD and Tesamorelin, 28:40 Speaker 0: you can definitely go up in the Tesamorelin. I think she's taking what, 1 mg? Definitely. Take 2. Try it. Just see how it goes. 28:48 Speaker 0: I wish that you told the timeframe that you were working with because again, I wanna reiterate that fact, man. 28:54 Speaker 0: Things don't changes don't happen overnight. We are so instant gratification people. 28:58 Speaker 0: Focus on your diet, diet, diet, diet. We love taking peptides and we love taking things to expedite 29:06 Speaker 0: change, 29:07 Speaker 0: but diet is huge, man. We don't talk about it enough. 29:12 Speaker 0: Everybody says they eat clean 29:14 Speaker 0: and you don't elaborate super on it, but yeah, man, just diet's huge, so make sure you're eating that. And I would say as you're coming into a new year, I know ice cream's great. I've been eating a lot of it. I was on vacation with my family and I'm pretty disciplined and it was amazing. But we're coming into the new year and I'm going back to carnivore in T minus 2 days. 29:33 Speaker 0: I love the discipline of it. People love that content anyway, so I'm going to be getting into it. 29:39 Speaker 0: But I would say, if you listen to this, I would say, write it down, man. Write your goals down. What are your exact goals? I'm huge on putting goals on paper. You're making a contract with yourself. You're literally physically getting it out of you and you put it on paper and there's something powerful about that. What is your exact weight? What is your exact goal? And I would say for at least a month, cut out that ice cream, cut it out. You're going to see huge changes and you can cut the sugar out. So, you know, sugar, 30:05 Speaker 1: bad. You're cutting out sugar. It's sugar's horrible, I mean, you will do amazing 30:10 Speaker 1: shit to your inflammation. It really does. Just 30:13 Speaker 1: it's like it's like basically cutting out alcohol, which frankly is the same thing. Yeah. You're cutting out 100%. Because alcohol turns sugar. But like, y'all probably start peeing a bunch of water. You'll loo you'll look a whole lot leaner, and you'll feel better. I mean, everything will just look better. 30:26 Speaker 0: Mean, we were talking thinking fast. Yeah. We were talking about it. Like, again, I wanna like, it's so important because I think we need to talk about it even more is this. Peptides are amazing. TRT is amazing, but diet is amazing. Fasting is amazing. 30:40 Speaker 0: Discipline 30:40 Speaker 0: is amazing. 30:42 Speaker 0: So write that stuff down. Try that. Try to cut out the sugar for a month. I have seen huge transformations without peptides 30:49 Speaker 0: through my fitness program when I did just carnivore diet, and I saw people drop weight like and just get because as Will said, they drop sugar. When you drop out sugar, your body's like, Woah, and it shocks the hell out of it. Yeah, yeah. Because we are addicted to sugar. So try some of that too, my dear. Hope that helps. Yep. Probably won't be looking for I mean, it's crazy how that affects our brain too. Right? Even in your life, you won't be looking 31:13 Speaker 1: for all so much instant gratification either. 31:15 Speaker 1: That's all there. I mean, that's what we are doing with sugar. It's like, damn. It just makes us feel good here Oh, it is. Immediately. 31:22 Speaker 1: But the further away you get from that, 31:24 Speaker 1: right, the more you forget it and the more you get used to delaying instant gratification. Yeah. It's a muscle. You're like, I don't need it. I don't need anything. It happens. And we led this off by what's freeing. Right? That's freeing. Yeah. Yeah. It's liberation, baby. And we all have vices, though. I'm not perfect. I say this, but, like, there's plenty of things that, yeah, 31:44 Speaker 1: I might not do right. Right? 31:47 Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to preach at anybody, but I do know I've cut some I have cut a lot of things out of my life 31:53 Speaker 0: at different times, and I know the freeing feeling. So Power of no. There's power of no. Absolutely. Telling yourself no. All right. 32:01 Speaker 0: Do I need to take peptides 32:03 Speaker 0: in a fasted state? If you do for some, but not all, which ones would you say are better to take while fasted 32:11 Speaker 0: 1st thing in the morning? 32:14 Speaker 0: Yeah, there are some. 32:16 Speaker 0: I mean, I would say if you can take fasted, take most fasted. I take them I mean, I fast so much, but I take them 1st thing in the morning. You want to definitely take HGH in the morning. 32:26 Speaker 0: You want to take your fat loss, your growth hormone. 32:31 Speaker 0: You want to take those in the morning, 32:33 Speaker 0: longevity, 32:34 Speaker 0: mitochondrial ones you want to take in the morning or fasted. 32:37 Speaker 0: Ones that I don't think matter so much are going to be like injuries. So, if you're if like for my back surgery, 32:44 Speaker 0: if, you know, you're taking the TB-five 32:47 Speaker 0: hundred or the BPC for an injury, I don't think it matters too much for injuries and skincare. So, if you're taking a GHK CU, 32:55 Speaker 0: like at night, like I do, I don't think it matters so much in regards to a fasted stay. However, 33:01 Speaker 0: if you can, take them fasted. 33:04 Speaker 0: Those ones, all of them. Yeah. Because like those metabolic 33:08 Speaker 1: digestive pathways 33:09 Speaker 1: sometimes are there's there's the insulin 33:11 Speaker 1: insulin pathways absolutely 33:14 Speaker 1: get kind of blunted. 33:15 Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's where the peptides are trying to Yeah. Get to you. 33:19 Speaker 1: But just even the digestive pathway, when our food is digesting food, that's also where those if we're taking it at the same time, the peptides are trying to get into us, right, there 33:29 Speaker 1: is a conflict of that pathway. 33:31 Speaker 0: And 33:32 Speaker 1: the peptides may just kind of, Nope, we're not absorbing lots of you. Oh, not as good. We have food coming. Spending a lot of money on them, so- Absolutely. Do them well. Right. And so make the most of them. But he's right. He's right. Everything there are some that really are important to be fasted and then some that aren't aren't that important. Yeah. 33:48 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Okay. 33:50 Speaker 1: Hello. I believe in the past you'd mentioned okay. So I answered this question accidentally 33:58 Speaker 1: because 33:59 Speaker 1: but hello. I'll I'll still read it and say that. I believe in the past you'd mentioned running 34:04 Speaker 1: GH and Tesamorelin at the same time. Can you talk through whether this is worth it or not? If there's any risk raising the somatostatin 34:11 Speaker 1: response with Tesamorelin 34:12 Speaker 1: that blunts the effects of GH and IGF-one, 34:15 Speaker 1: or maybe it is just redundant. Do you see value here? Maybe even GH plus Tussa Ipah. 34:22 Speaker 1: Just curious. No need to contact me. Just thought it might be a good question. Love the q and a. Love the channel. 34:29 Speaker 1: You I've only been ever been take I've only ever taken put tags that have been that have already been reconstituted 34:36 Speaker 1: by the place I purchased them. I'm looking to switch my purchases. 34:40 Speaker 1: And how do you know 34:42 Speaker 1: how much bacteriostatic 34:44 Speaker 1: water to use on each peptide? Thanks for everything you guys do. 34:48 Speaker 1: So to answer that last question, there's this website called 34:51 Speaker 1: peptideresearchinstitute.org, 34:53 Speaker 1: and that's got some decent information on there about how much to 34:58 Speaker 1: mix peptides with and 35:00 Speaker 1: different protocols. Okay? 35:04 Speaker 1: Now, yeah, the 1st part of that question, I think I answered it at the beginning. You were getting mixed up with somatropin. 35:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it isn't. But really, somatropin is growth hormone. 35:13 Speaker 1: So 35:14 Speaker 1: the 1st question was the sec was also this question. Yeah. They they blended together. The same thing. Very similar. In 35:21 Speaker 1: your question, you kinda said, hey. How do the Tesamorelin 35:24 Speaker 1: will blunt the effects of growth hormone? 35:28 Speaker 1: Now I don't know if I'm talking about just natural growth hormone, but it's more like 35:33 Speaker 1: the endogenous 35:35 Speaker 1: or exogenous 35:36 Speaker 1: growth hormone that you take, 35:39 Speaker 1: k, increases your IGF-one. 35:41 Speaker 1: Yep. The more that goes up, hey, our body goes, oh, we got a lot. And it increases and it releases some somatostatin, 35:48 Speaker 1: which says, hey, let's not take any more. Okay? What that's not gonna blunt that sure that ain't gonna block if you just keep putting more growth hormone in, sorry, they can't block that. Yeah. Yeah. Because that is just that is the actual hormone it's giving to you. What it can block is Tesamorelin's 36:04 Speaker 1: result on your pituitary, 36:06 Speaker 1: which Tesamorelin's telling pituitary to make more growth hormone. And they can say, No, no, no. Blunt. Let's stop doing that alone. We're good. Yeah. Yeah. We're good. So don't make so much. So I don't know if that cleared anything up, but, 36:17 Speaker 0: yep, question answered, hopefully. Yeah. Think I answered a lot. Very 36:20 Speaker 0: similar, just articulated a little bit different. Yep. 36:23 Speaker 0: Matt? 36:24 Speaker 0: You're up. 36:25 Speaker 0: Alright. I have a few different questions. Can the Wolverine stack be used for 36:31 Speaker 0: plantar 36:32 Speaker 0: fasciitis? 36:32 Speaker 0: Fasciitis. 36:34 Speaker 0: Fasciitis. 36:35 Speaker 0: And if so, what I inject into the bottom of the foot? My mom is 65 years old and she is underweight. 36:42 Speaker 0: Her goal is to gain muscle. She does strength training 4 times a week. She weighs 130 pounds. 36:49 Speaker 0: She is 5 foot 7. 36:52 Speaker 0: She wants to gain 15 pounds of muscle. 36:56 Speaker 0: What do you recommend for her? Next year, my husband and I are going to try for baby number 2 and I heard I need to go off of peptides 37:04 Speaker 0: for a couple months before we start trying. I'm on a stack of Retta, AOD, Tesamorelin and NAD plus 37:11 Speaker 0: What are your recommendations for coming off peptides? 37:14 Speaker 0: I don't want to gain a bunch of weight once I'm off. I'm down 50 pounds and I'm afraid I'll gain back once I go off. Good questions. Quite a lot, quite a few of them. You want me to take that? Yeah, go ahead. I'll add Yeah, to so for the foot problem, 37:29 Speaker 0: here's the thing. I think that the Wolverine is great. I love it. It's definitely 1 of my favorites. 37:36 Speaker 0: Generally, we're gonna tell you to inject 37:39 Speaker 0: right near the energy or 37:41 Speaker 0: damn where as close as you can get it. 37:45 Speaker 0: I'm not going to inject in my foot. I definitely don't think that you should tell your mother to inject in her foot. That would hurt like a mother. So you can kind of do it up here. Subcued by the ankle type area 37:55 Speaker 0: is where I would probably do it. I'll give you an example. When I did had my back surgery and I took a ton of it, I didn't do it in my back because my back was swollen and I was taped up. So I did it subcued on my stomach, and it worked great. So you have the TB that travels really well. So 38:12 Speaker 0: that would be my answer. Do I think it personally will help? 100%. 38:15 Speaker 0: Do I think she should put it in her foot? Absolutely not. Sub Q by the ankle is my answer on that. Now, for the baby, 38:23 Speaker 0: Will and I are very conservative when it comes to the pregnancies 38:28 Speaker 0: and when a baby is involved and when children are involved. 38:32 Speaker 0: The simplest answer, and I can know I can answer for Will, because we've answered this numerous times. When it comes to children, babies in your belly, especially if they're not here yet, just on the side of caution, man. Like, I get it. You don't want to lose 38:45 Speaker 0: your weight back, but let's enforce some discipline, right? And let's not go back to if you 38:51 Speaker 0: used to eat crap, you know, like be disciplined when it comes to that. 38:55 Speaker 0: But for the peptides, my answer will be this. Put them on hold for a bit. They'll be here when you get back. 39:00 Speaker 0: Do I think that it would affect the baby? I actually don't think it probably would. But why even risk it? If there's any chance that it might, 39:09 Speaker 0: why risk it? So I would say put them on hold. 39:12 Speaker 0: You can get on some Retta when you gain that weight for the baby, right? And you can lose that weight really quickly. 39:19 Speaker 0: Focus on the baby. 39:20 Speaker 0: That's my answer. Yeah. So 39:23 Speaker 1: I will 2nd that also. 39:26 Speaker 1: Just 39:27 Speaker 1: do just be natural, I guess. There's 39:30 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, you don't wanna lose too much weight. We know that your woman's body fat percentage is is too low. You're not getting pregnant. Yeah. 39:38 Speaker 1: God says you don't have enough food on you to feed another person, so you don't get to ovulate and be pregnant. But, 39:47 Speaker 1: Joe, there's there's just other potential complications you don't wanna just don't even just please don't do it. That kid has to live, you know, 80, 39:55 Speaker 1: and it would be nice to not have 39:58 Speaker 1: itty maybe potential complication 40:00 Speaker 1: Yeah. 40:01 Speaker 1: Yeah. From this. Yes. He is right. Like, all of these all of these so you get you lost 50 pounds, and that kicks ass. Good for you. Hopefully, 40:11 Speaker 1: people being on these GLPs 40:13 Speaker 1: are building good habits. Right? And this is you know, your stomach you eat less, and your stomach starts to shrink down. You just and now, like like, to get used to those damn habits. Right? 40:23 Speaker 1: Build on those habits and and use it. So then when you come off, how about you just wean off instead of just go stop cold turkey so it makes it easier to maintain 40:33 Speaker 1: that habit because you will feel you will not be as hungry. 40:38 Speaker 1: You won't be able to eat as much because your stomach has shrunk a little bit, and that's a good thing. But, yes, the hunger may come back a little bit. But like you said, just just try to buckle down and use a little bit of willpower. You spend a lot of work, but it's a little bit more. 40:51 Speaker 0: Yeah. 40:52 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things you can do to help yourself building good habits, like not keeping your house stocked with anything that is 40:58 Speaker 1: bad. Yeah. Planning ahead. Don't go shopping hungry. Don't go shopping hungry. Right. Absolutely. Sounds silly, but it's true. It is very true. Plan ahead. You know, we make bad decisions when we're hungry and it's too late. We don't have time. 41:11 Speaker 1: Right? And then when you get stuck, you're like, screw it. I just gotta I gotta do what I gotta do. So don't let yourself get into those positions. 41:19 Speaker 0: There is that let's sit on that for a 2nd because that is really powerful. Like, 41:24 Speaker 0: those habits that we don't talk about much, those little things that, you know, we both have been working with with people on diets for most of our lives, it's been something we just love. 41:34 Speaker 0: Those little things, especially when I'm coaching somebody and I'm talking about fasting, because I get so many questions about fasting, 41:39 Speaker 0: I tell everybody, Think through it. Use your brain. Think through it. If I'm going to eat at a certain time, like what I would do when I 1st was fasting, if I was going to eat at a wedding and I knew I was going to have to eat later, I would fast until 5 long before even I would fast till 5. So I knew I'd have to eat until 12 because I'd never ate out of an 8 hour window. I just thought through it though. Like, think through it. Don't go shopping if you're hungry because you know you're gonna wanna get those damn burritos because they look good when you're hungry. You know, we're all human. So little things like that, man, they are freaking huge in regards to those disciplines. 42:10 Speaker 1: For sure. 42:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes. I'm You know saying now. Absolutely. 42:14 Speaker 1: Your mom is 65, and she wants to gain 15 pounds of muscle. It's not gonna happen. I'm sorry. 42:19 Speaker 1: 1st 42:20 Speaker 1: of all, for just for a woman, that's incredibly hard, and that's gotta take at least a year or 2. And for a 65 year old woman, it's just probably not gonna happen. Yeah. So but she can gain as much muscle as she can, and I definitely think, like, Tessa Ipamore is, like Yeah. Is the way to go. It will help help just even maybe even, like, what you're say, HGH. Right? Not only that, it'll help just keep muscle or put muscle on. It'll help re strengthen our bones as we get older. Right? Yeah. You really you know, people old people, you hear of them breaking hips. This will really help. Yeah. Osteoporosis 42:56 Speaker 1: is the name. 42:59 Speaker 1: So that will help a lot. What else did we say? 43:03 Speaker 0: Pregnancy. We talked about Pregnancy. 43:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, just chill. Don't do that. 43:08 Speaker 0: That's all correct. Good luck on that baby. We're rooting for you. Yeah. Absolutely. Don't talk to my wife. She she wants another 1. 43:14 Speaker 1: 0, yeah. Don't inject to the bottom of the foot. No. No. No. No. No. No. You could sub q inject, though, pretty close like your ankle. Right? Just, like, pull some skin out. Just 43:24 Speaker 1: and and get the needle underneath there. But, like, the bottom of your foot, a, it's you 43:29 Speaker 1: might bend the needle if your feet look like the bottom of my feet. Right? Like, there. There it's tough. Uh-huh. You also, the bottom of your feet are dirty, and they will continue to get dirty. And you don't wanna make an open wound there. There's infection risk. 43:42 Speaker 1: And right there, all those nerves are dead, and it's just thick with calluses. 43:48 Speaker 1: And there's 43:50 Speaker 1: probably very bad absorption 43:52 Speaker 1: of any peptide right there. So just don't do that. It'll travel it'll travel well enough, especially if you put it in your ankle. It'll probably you can work sub q in your stomach. So, yeah, don't do that. 44:02 Speaker 1: My bum. Alright. My up. You're up reading. Alright. No. No. I am. My bad. So, hey, guys. Love the q and a and peptides of the week. 44:11 Speaker 1: Y'all are doing the Lord's work and are a wealth of knowledge. So question. I had a I had great results with Reta for 8 weeks and decided to switch over to OmegaTide for 8 weeks. 44:21 Speaker 1: I noticed right away the hunger signal was more of a volume fader versus a volume off switch and was definitely hungrier more often. 44:29 Speaker 1: Had I not kept discipline up, I probably would have gained weight, but noticed I maintained the same weight over 8 weeks. My question is I'm back on Retta now but noticing the same high hunger signals. 44:42 Speaker 1: I'm taking 4 mg, 44:43 Speaker 1: but before getting on omegatide, 44:46 Speaker 1: 2 mg of Retta was good for 6 44:48 Speaker 1: to 7 days. 44:50 Speaker 1: Should I up my weekly dose until I feel the hunger volume drop significantly, or should I take a break and restart? 44:56 Speaker 1: I've also heard adding kegrelinotide 44:58 Speaker 1: could help turn down the hunger signal since GLP-three isn't really an appetite off switch. True. 45:05 Speaker 1: Here are 45:06 Speaker 1: the other peptides 45:07 Speaker 1: I'm taking that I'm running. So Wolverine stack daily, KPV, GHK, CU daily, MOTS C, it's every 3 days. Tesamorelin 45:15 Speaker 1: before bed. Thank you, guys. 45:18 Speaker 1: Good question. That's definitely- So that is a good question, and it is not an 45:23 Speaker 1: that's not a unique question either. So 45:27 Speaker 1: omega 45:28 Speaker 1: tides, so Retta, yeah, Retta is a triple agonist and is not. The goal there is not appetite suppression. 45:35 Speaker 1: K? You actually do get hunger. You feel those you feel a little bit of the hunger noise is maybe it's reduced a little bit. But Yeah. Omegatide 45:43 Speaker 1: is just really, really, really heavy on the GLP-one portion. 45:47 Speaker 1: So 45:48 Speaker 1: most people are going to feel less of an appetite on omega type. Okay? 45:54 Speaker 1: What is happening and no, you should not increase your renin thing. So what is happening is the the our body wants an appetite. Okay, naturally. This is how we survive is this constant search for food, right? Look at anybody's dog. Goal number 1, eat food. Yeah. Right? Humans, we've evolved a little bit more, but that's 46:10 Speaker 1: still deep in our DNA as each. We need to eat. 46:14 Speaker 1: So you're fighting so basically, it is artificially, 46:17 Speaker 1: right, 46:18 Speaker 1: is dampening 1 of our survival instincts. 46:21 Speaker 1: So when that happens, it dampens it. Our survival instinct tries to push harder through. Right? So now our body's going, no, let's try get hungry. Let's make ourselves hungry. Make ourselves hungry. 46:31 Speaker 1: And now you took out the really hard dampener, and you went back to Retta, which isn't that much of a dampener on appetite. Mhmm. But this guy is still raging. So what used to work, you just basically 46:44 Speaker 1: screwed yourself, 46:45 Speaker 1: right, by increasing your hunger on yourself. Okay? So now your body's really trying to be hungry because 46:52 Speaker 1: you did that to yourself, unfortunately. Right? You told your body to really try 46:58 Speaker 1: and then gave it the weaker hunger thing going back to Reta. 47:01 Speaker 1: So now it's fighting through. Only time and practice of more discipline 47:06 Speaker 1: is gonna help lower that apt and lower that urge for hunger. 47:10 Speaker 1: Now, 47:12 Speaker 1: you 47:13 Speaker 1: so should you increase your RET at dose until that hunger noise is gone? No. Answer is no. It's not meant for that. It's not gonna help by increasing your dose. She there's even studies that ironically 47:24 Speaker 1: say hunger may get more get higher if you do more Retta. Now 47:29 Speaker 1: practically, I haven't seen that much in people, 47:32 Speaker 1: but that's what some of the settings says. But no, do not just increase your Retta dose. Okay? 47:38 Speaker 1: Was your other 47:40 Speaker 1: to possibly do? Oh, start and stop. No, do not do that either. 47:45 Speaker 1: Okay? 47:46 Speaker 1: In a matter of weeks, 47:48 Speaker 1: the tolerance is not gonna change. It's just going to mess up your current metabolic rhythm, which is good because you've been making, you've been doing results. Like the whole point of ret is to take consistently. 48:01 Speaker 1: If you go off, it's gonna throw in some just, I don't know, speed bumps in your metabolic rhythm, and you're not gonna get on that domino effect of continuing to burn fat and being healthier. 48:12 Speaker 1: So and only if you stop for 6 months to a year will maybe the tolerance reset. K? It's not happening in a matter of weeks, but months and several months. 48:25 Speaker 1: What 48:25 Speaker 1: else did we ask for? So no, no. 48:29 Speaker 1: Stay the course and 48:32 Speaker 1: tegrelinotide. 48:33 Speaker 1: Yes. That is working in a different way, and that does help reduce 48:38 Speaker 1: reduce appetite. 48:39 Speaker 1: You shouldn't there's tesofensine 48:41 Speaker 1: also. Think about that. That 1 helps reduce appetite in but but from in your brain. 48:48 Speaker 1: It's kind of a triple natural antidepressant 48:50 Speaker 1: that 48:51 Speaker 1: makes your brain just feel satiated. So you're not out there looking for a 48:56 Speaker 1: dopamine 48:57 Speaker 1: spike to make you happy at all. And that is a that's 49:02 Speaker 1: people have had a lot of success pairing that 1 with Retta. I think Retta should be taking it pretty at a decently low dose. 49:10 Speaker 1: I don't know. Hopefully, that answers some of that. 49:14 Speaker 1: You know, I guess basically 49:17 Speaker 1: your, like, foundational 49:19 Speaker 1: priorities 49:20 Speaker 1: we talked about. Right? Let's all check our foundational priorities. Okay? And that what that means is 49:27 Speaker 1: training, 49:28 Speaker 1: nutrition, 49:29 Speaker 1: and sleep. Okay? 49:31 Speaker 1: Those 3 have to be on point. And those 3 are the most important. 49:35 Speaker 1: Right? And and and by the way, person who you just talked in hormone yeah. Right. And hormonal regulation. But you've you have now you've switched on to Retta, right, and gone 8 weeks with maintaining 49:49 Speaker 1: your weight loss and your discipline. So, like, you're you're kicking ass, by the way. I will say that we should congratulate you for doing literally everything right. 49:58 Speaker 1: So keep doing it. You're doing great. 50:00 Speaker 1: Don't be reaching for more drugs to do it. Just kind of work on a little bit more 50:05 Speaker 1: foundation principles. 50:06 Speaker 1: Okay? 50:07 Speaker 0: Yeah. I 50:10 Speaker 0: I think it's important that we again talk about the fact that 8 weeks, so you were on it, Retatrutide for 8 weeks, and then you switched. But you were doing good for 8 weeks. Why? That's what I would be wondering. So why? If you were doing well and you were enjoying the Reta, why did you switch? Right? 8 weeks is a very short time for any change in life. It's 50:29 Speaker 0: like not that long in regards to the scheme of things. And I think, again, if we 50:35 Speaker 0: can start to focus so much more on the discipline of our minds and just changing the way and just like what 50:43 Speaker 0: I'm seeing in a lot of questions and talking with so many people these days, everybody wants to build the 2nd Floor. They want to jump to the 2nd Floor and build the house where we've got to work on the base. The base is your daily 50:54 Speaker 0: habits, right? We've got to build it with diet, nutrition, hormone replacement, 51:00 Speaker 0: your disciplines, 51:01 Speaker 0: and build such a strong foundation. 51:04 Speaker 0: And no 51:04 Speaker 0: foundation is built in 8 weeks. Nothing, right? So 8 weeks is nothing. I mean, so I would just say that you were doing well, why'd you jump? Right? Focus on that. You were doing so well, like, why do you want to change it? So keep going. You're not going to lose 51:18 Speaker 0: 100 pounds in 8 weeks. You know, again, we see people and we've been talking to people and they hear all these stories and stuff. It's not going to happen. It's great. Retrite TED is amazing. 51:29 Speaker 0: But even if you did, it wouldn't be healthy, right? So 51:33 Speaker 0: that's my answer. Well, you already kind of took the reins and answered it the proper way, but I just wanted to chime in. If something's working, 51:40 Speaker 0: don't jump ship. 51:41 Speaker 1: Yep. And your Retta is still working. Okay. It is. You're burning fat. You're burning fat. Food noise, like the Retta at your dose is working 51:50 Speaker 1: at a metabolic level. So just keep going, man. You've already actually said, Hey, I've exercised discipline and been fine for 8 weeks. Well, shit, just, 51:58 Speaker 1: you know, you get to kinda exercise a little bit less and less discipline the longer you longer you do it. So 52:04 Speaker 1: don't raise it. Just keep going on the course. It's burning fat, I guarantee it. And, 52:09 Speaker 0: yeah, tighten up through other things. And you wanna That's be hungry, just that's great. You don't wanna not be hungry. Hungry's great. Just like, Retatrutide is good because it just, you should eat less. You want to eat. You don't want to not eat. You want to eat less. 52:22 Speaker 0: So good job on that. All right, final 1. I'll take this home. 52:26 Speaker 0: SLU-PP-332. 52:29 Speaker 0: I happened to just order some SLU-3.3.2. 52:32 Speaker 0: And recently that I came across a video on YouTube, I DM'd the link to you both. 52:38 Speaker 0: The influencer was making a case against using the product and even made the claim that it could cause cancer. 52:45 Speaker 0: I was hoping you guys could discuss this if there's any credibility to his claim. 52:50 Speaker 1: Thanks for everything that you do. So I'll chime in like that dude, I don't know what his name is, but the influencer, 52:56 Speaker 0: that dude's sharp. Okay. Yeah, I know who he is. He's great. I love him. Like argument and 53:02 Speaker 1: Super intelligent. I think that I mean, but even 53:06 Speaker 1: he even said probably 20 times, like, I am not saying this causes cancer. 53:11 Speaker 1: And he'd say he's like, We don't know. 53:15 Speaker 1: It's but, you know, his correlations 53:17 Speaker 1: he's also getting 53:20 Speaker 1: this and carterine. They work similarly, 53:24 Speaker 1: okay, with those estradiol like kind of based receptors. And they did a study on rats or mice with Carderene 53:32 Speaker 1: where they gave something like 80 times the human dose to these rats. Long time ago too. And it was a long, long time ago. And it's all over. Right? But they gave 80 times what you would give to a human, to a mouse, 53:45 Speaker 1: and some of them developed cancer. 53:49 Speaker 1: If you give 53:50 Speaker 0: Logic says. Logic says no shit. If you take the biggest of anything, 53:54 Speaker 1: probably bad. Give me way less water than that. I'll die for sure. Protein, I'll die. Advil, I'll die. Yeah. 54:02 Speaker 1: But 54:03 Speaker 1: but 54:04 Speaker 1: so they work in similar ways, but not exactly. So we can't just correlate 1 54:09 Speaker 1: because cauteryne maybe did that, then SLU-three is the same. He is saying that there are specific pathways that some cancers 54:16 Speaker 1: need 54:18 Speaker 1: that kind of feed off, and this might be increasing 54:23 Speaker 1: those pathways. I mean, 54:25 Speaker 1: everybody just do I don't know. Do your thing. I'm not saying yes or no, but I'm not gonna 54:30 Speaker 1: but I still take it, and I'm not that worried about it. I put far less far worse things in my body. I firmly think that 54:37 Speaker 1: walking, 54:39 Speaker 1: talking on your cell phone 54:40 Speaker 1: will probably give you cancer a lot faster. And, there's a bunch of shit that will kill you a lot faster. 54:47 Speaker 1: I don't know. 54:48 Speaker 0: I I I don't remember that guy's name. I know he's great. I've actually just started following him. So he's great. And like, we don't pretend to know everything, but my take on it is this. 54:57 Speaker 0: I think people 54:59 Speaker 0: that have talked about human growth hormone alone have talked about cancer forever. My take on it and my studies on it is I disagree with it. In moderation, like I use small amounts, 55:08 Speaker 0: which I consider small amounts. You know, use small amounts. Now, if you take 10 for a very long time, that could cause problems. 55:15 Speaker 0: Now, could 2 also? Sure. 55:19 Speaker 0: Probably not, but sure. 55:21 Speaker 0: Could SLU cause cancer? Sure. Do I think it will? No. I'm not a doctor. 55:26 Speaker 0: What I think is more what Will just said, think you should worry about Doritos more than you should worry about SLU. You know, the crappy, poisonous food we eat is causing cancer. The sugary seed oils, 55:39 Speaker 0: that crap 55:40 Speaker 0: is like people talk about so many supplements, like chains of amino acids and things like that. But like, how about the freaking food that people are eating, man? Like, worry about that stuff more. So- Wearing a seatbelt more. You know I mean? So there's a lot of what ifs. Why? There's no chance you get murdered, you get killed today in a car accident. I love SLU-3. I take it. I'm not gonna stop. I mean, there could be a lot of things that cause cancer. 56:00 Speaker 0: If you eat healthy, you fast a lot. Why don't you try fasting? If you fast, it lowers your chances of cancer dramatically. 56:08 Speaker 0: If you do 1 72 hour fast, 56:11 Speaker 0: 0.25, 56:12 Speaker 0: you 56:13 Speaker 0: dramatically, 56:15 Speaker 0: dramatically, dramatically lower your chances of getting cancer. We are not supposed to eat as much food. Fasting has been around since Jesus walked the earth for a reason because your body needs to reboot. Your mind needs to reboot. Fasting is rebooting your entire system, your digestive system, 56:31 Speaker 0: your mind, your body, your soul. 56:34 Speaker 1: So do that. Fast. Do some stuff. SLU-3. I'm gonna say my answer is I don't worry about it. Hope that helps. Personally, I would not worry about it. Yeah. But I don't but I am not you, and you need to make you need to do what you do. Right? 56:49 Speaker 1: I'm not 56:51 Speaker 1: overly worried about most things in this world. 56:55 Speaker 1: We can all make a scientific case- What if, what what if. Yeah, 56:59 Speaker 1: right. Like, anything I do is causing cancer, even it's dead for me, and I'm gonna die because of it. Yeah. But that's- I feel pretty good. But I feel okay. I feel pretty good. 57:10 Speaker 1: And, you know, and I just don't think I mean, I really I don't think but I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a, you know, full time researcher, 57:17 Speaker 1: so I can't 57:19 Speaker 1: but I just don't think that there is enough compelling evidence that says, like, there there and he even said in his thing, like, there is no direct correlation. I'm not I am not making this Yeah. That direct correlation. So 57:30 Speaker 0: there it is, my friends. 57:32 Speaker 0: There it is. We don't know everything, but we know we see a lot of people trying different things and all that. But anything else before you wanna take us out? 57:42 Speaker 0: Mm-mm. No. Happy New Year. Better be safe. Yeah. Happy New Year. This will come out after New Year, but happy New Year, and let's kick some ass in 2026, 57:50 Speaker 0: everybody. 57:51 Speaker 1: Yep. Everybody kick some ass. Take care. Put your goals down. I like that. Yeah. Actually writing them. Make a contract That's a with lot. 57:59 Speaker 0: More sense to me. All right, guys. All right. See you on the next 1. Take care.
