0:24Speaker 1Welcome back to the peptide of the week podcast. I'm your host JD Denham, and my buddy, my partner is across the way with T. Hoss.
0:34Speaker 2What's up, everybody? What up, dude? Dapper in your black and white. You just look good today. Well, thank thank you. How's your head? Head's good, man. Yeah. I was looking at today when we were I talking was out riding a bike, going to golf cart this weekend. It was sunny. It was like 80 degrees this weekend. Purchase. I know what in the Downtown,
0:49Speaker 2it was just like, it's wintertime. I know. Mid January, we live in a beautiful place. People at the beach. Yeah.
0:56Speaker 2It was packed. But yeah, we went out for a couple
1:00Speaker 2bike rides
1:02Speaker 2with the family. And,
1:04Speaker 2know, like we brought up the bikes for the winter because they've been kind of stored for 2 months of winter and realized,
1:10Speaker 2well, let's see. I drove we drove 1 of the bikes a block away and then the
1:15Speaker 2power shut off. So, alright,
1:17Speaker 2that's broke. Let's take it back. Yeah. We
1:20Speaker 2broke my garage door with the golf cart.
1:24Speaker 2Didn't run it into it. Just didn't realize that if you park the golf cart sideways, the little thing that moves,
1:29Speaker 2hit
1:30Speaker 2catches on the golf cart ceiling,
1:32Speaker 2and then just
1:33Speaker 2tore the whole machine off. Oh, beautiful. So I had to buy a whole brand new setup,
1:39Speaker 2which is better now, but, like, still, I don't know.
1:42Speaker 2So it was a blessing in disguise. It was a blessing in disguise. And then, yeah. So there's a lot of, like
1:48Speaker 2yes. My whole garage has got, like,
1:51Speaker 2wrenches
1:52Speaker 2and different screws, like, all over the place.
1:56Speaker 2So I was playing mechanic this weekend. Pretty typical. Pretty kind of typical. Yeah. I always have
2:02Speaker 1stuff that I'm breaking and fixing or that's broken and I'm fixing. I end up getting too many like toys that I really want to make, that I wanna make work. So people at home, this is a this is kind of a funny story. So Will and I through the warehouse have video cameras, and we both have access to them. And sometimes
2:17Speaker 1Will likes to be left alone, and Will likes to do his things. And I've learned that about him through the years, especially working with the Blast Deer on a daily basis. And so I stay out of his way. I'm not that helpful when it comes to that stuff anyway. So he likes to just come in and do some busy work, but I'll watch you just do the word-5-1T.
2:34Speaker 2See me coming in like 10PM. Yeah, you just do your thing by myself.
2:38Speaker 2And I also like to mix up. If I'm at the computer too long,
2:41Speaker 2ugh, I need- You build something? Yes, I'd rather, I need to get up and go move some furniture, do something physical. Yeah. Because it dry, I mean, you know, productivity starts to just
2:51Speaker 2skyrocket. But if I do something physical, I'm much better. Do that, man.
2:56Speaker 1Your hair looks good. I would like to What
2:59Speaker 1do you think? I was telling Will,
3:01Speaker 1everybody, you can leave us some comments. I'm curious. I think he looks good with a shaved head. I think that I had a shaved head for most probably 20 years. Did you meet me with a shaved head? Yes. I think that I had a shaved head forever. I finally grew it out, but
3:13Speaker 2I think you look good, bro. I would leave it. It's easy. I went to a funeral on Friday to, for a friend of ours, unfortunately.
3:23Speaker 2So I had to dress up right in no hat.
3:27Speaker 2I had 2 different people who were like, oh, I was like, yeah, shaved my I shaved my head. I got this hair transplant. And they're like, oh, really? I wouldn't even notice. Like, you look like you were made for a shaved head.
3:37Speaker 2Some people just heat up, man. I've seen some people that their heads just destroyed after that day. That's Yeah. Well, apparently, so the the hair is supposed to be falling out now. And then then it will finally regrow. But maybe
3:50Speaker 2because I'm taking
3:51Speaker 2peptides
3:52Speaker 2Oh, maybe. It's growing faster and just not falling out. That GHK ECU, baby. It works. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. That's awesome. So I should give a shout out to my,
4:03Speaker 2Yeah. To the doctor's
4:05Speaker 2office,
4:06Speaker 2but let me make sure I get the name right. Yeah. That's probably 1st before the shout out. But I will say I was at the gym this morning, so I go to Equinox in Huntington and a different gym, but, I know that you like quotes. I do. So you're a big, like, motivational quote person and I am kind of too. There's a couple heard somebody say this in the gym this morning, which is very basic and probably everybody else is gonna be like, duh. But he's, he was talking about work, he's like, well, I'd rather just I'd rather be tired than broke.
4:34Speaker 2Mic drop. Right? Like, there's a I don't know. I've never heard of it. Maybe everybody else has. I like it. But I like the other 1 that says friends
4:41Speaker 1Friends don't ask you for discounts. Right? Friends pay full price and leave you a review. That's Oxford Mosse. Yeah. I love Oxford Mosse. I remember when I read that, I was like, dude, I love Oxford Mosse.
4:51Speaker 2Yeah. And that's legitimate. So we ought to all remember that to your friends.
4:57Speaker 2I love that, bro. Right? Not not just me, like all of our friends. Right? Like, I don't ask until you get burnt. Right? I had a friend who had cancer, and so he did did a hit,
5:05Speaker 2he had a car detailing business. I was like, bro, I'll pay you. I go, don't I don't even want a discount, dude. I know you're hurting.
5:12Speaker 2Just charge me whatever the full price is, and you charge me $850.
5:17Speaker 1For what? Detail? Detailing of your car? Yeah.
5:20Speaker 2So there's those situations 9 cars. Yeah. There's situations where your friends
5:26Speaker 2will take advantage of you,
5:28Speaker 2unfortunately.
5:29Speaker 2So maybe those aren't really They'll comment. They'll comment. They'll comment on that 1. But I do try to, like, I don't know. I'd rather give money to somebody I know. Oh god. Same thing like if I had a sister. I'd probably rather my friend who I like marry her than some random ass person. Right? People get all butt hurt that their friend is maybe dating their sister, but I mean, I guess I'd rather have the person who I know and I like be good to my sister. It's always perspective.
5:53Speaker 2You look good. So there's that.
5:55Speaker 2Give me a sec. I'll go back to the hair.
5:57Speaker 1I'll give the shout out here in a little bit. Yeah. I love it as you're doing that. I mean, going off of what you said, what made me think about that was, my, my son-in-law, which was great. You know, they, he, is in the union and, know, he was rained out, wasn't working much. I had no idea. You know, I don't know what's going on in their life exactly. But,
6:12Speaker 1you know, he reached out and instead of asking for money, he asked if he could work. Yeah, that's great. I respected it, you know, because he came here at work. It was cool. I'm like, bro, that was like rare.
6:22Speaker 1You just got up a couple notches if you're listening to this, Randy.
6:24Speaker 1Good job, He worked and he worked well and like, then he left. Yeah. He didn't ask for anything. He just worked. So get on you, man. So- That's the way- Young guys, you, are listening, do that. Do that.
6:36Speaker 2Always offer. You know what? I mean, and oftentimes, like,
6:40Speaker 2just always offer. Like my,
6:43Speaker 2River, my son-in-law, who I live with and I
6:47Speaker 2love and he's a rambunctious kid.
6:51Speaker 2He we went apparently, so this weekend the sun came out. Right? And now
6:54Speaker 2apparently we live in a neighborhood that has tons of kids and they're awesome. So we had like kids riding a bike. I was like, Trevor, get out there and go ride your bike. So he did 2 down houses down. These guys have this giant
7:07Speaker 2blow up
7:08Speaker 2of TV screen.
7:11Speaker 2Outside. Bigger than my than my arm stretch outside that they blow up in front of their house. Cool. And they ring a popcorn machine out at nighttime and, like, watch movies or sporting events and all the kids in the neighborhood can ride by. And anyway, so he's running to the house chasing,
7:24Speaker 2with the kids, and he
7:26Speaker 2ran right through their screen door.
7:29Speaker 2Do you have screen force? It's what I would do. Yeah. I know. I mean, my dogs don't he'd ruin every single string screen door in my house.
7:36Speaker 2It it is what it is, but, I was like, hey, Ali, like, let's make sure that we say we're gonna pay for the screen door. Right? Tell them we'll pay for Chances are with things like that, like, you know, chances are most people are gonna make, don't even worry about it, but, like, you need to just offer and be ready to Always. Pay for it. Do that, bro. So Let's bring that type of lifestyle back. Gosh. Offer. Jeez. Just offer every time. No matter what.
7:58Speaker 2It's a good back. 90% of the time, they're gonna say, no, it's cool. Right. But if you offer, you better do it. Yeah. Shoot. Anyway,
8:06Speaker 1white Well, today's q and a. Today's q and a. We say it all the time. We love this. We get a touch a little bit more touch of who you guys are and what you're what you got going. The questions are pretty to the degree base. We ran through them separately,
8:18Speaker 1we didn't do it. We are doing that, that like that. I think that we enjoyed it more. I hope that you enjoyed it more, but we did. So we're going to do it that way. We don't share answers.
8:27Speaker 1We do them 3 organically separately and we might have some of same, which we will.
8:33Speaker 2It's good. People get different differences of opinion and different explanations as to why, you know?
8:39Speaker 1Yeah, it was fun. So it was cool. So I, as always, I think you do the honors, man. I think that's kinda how we start with you doing the 1st 1. That's rough. Alright. Here we go. Hi. I have a question for your podcast, and I'm not sure this is the way I'm supposed to reach you. That
8:54Speaker 2seems to be we will talk to our guy to make it more clear. Alright. Because you're not the 1st person to ask that.
9:00Speaker 2I hope this message is not bothering you. I Never. I am a fan of your podcast and learned so much, thanks to you guys. I've been on tirzepatide for almost 4 months, lost 28 pounds
9:11Speaker 2at the starting dose of 0.25
9:15Speaker 2mls, which is probably correct actually also, but basically 2.5 mg.
9:20Speaker 2I'm
9:21Speaker 2now 122
9:22Speaker 2and I'm five'six.
9:24Speaker 2K? I eat a pretty I'm assuming this 1. I eat a pretty healthy,
9:28Speaker 2balanced diet. And although I hit the gym
9:31Speaker 2although I don't hit the gym, I have an outdoor physical job that keeps me moving all day. Someday I will have time for the gym when kids are older. I wanna lose another 4 pounds of fat, and I'm stalled. Should I change to Retta or add switch to AOD, Tesamorelin, BAM 15,
9:48Speaker 2or which ones do you recommend? Also, should I cycle them and for how long? I'd like to get off Drzepatide sometime in the next 3 months tops to make sure I don't develop any resistance to it.
9:59Speaker 2Can you also talk about which ones are more costly
10:03Speaker 2versus more affordable? I can only probably afford 1 to 2 peptides at this time. Thank you again so much for all of the research and expertise you provide. Okay,
10:13Speaker 2yeah, sure. I have some answers for you. So, again, as always, like, here's what I would do. Okay. I'm not really I don't really wanna give advice. We're not doctors.
10:23Speaker 2But here's what I would do is,
10:27Speaker 2I would so you need to so a, you're telling us that don't tell you to just go start lifting weights. Okay? Because the okay. So we won't bother saying that. But cool. You have a physical job, and,
10:38Speaker 2you're stalled. You did an awesome job, but you're stalled at the I would I would switch to Retta. 100 yes. Yes. I would.
10:45Speaker 2Also, just realize we do build a tolerance. K?
10:49Speaker 2We do build a tolerance to these things. So you've been on it for 4 months. Like, this dose is not doing the same thing as it used to when you started.
10:56Speaker 2Also, though, why I think you are stalled
10:59Speaker 2is because you have lost weight, but unfortunately, you've probably lost some muscle also. Fat,
11:05Speaker 2maybe mostly fat, but like a little bit of muscle. Okay? Remember, every pound of muscle we burn off, we lose, our metabolism slows down by about 50 calories a day.
11:14Speaker 2Alright?
11:15Speaker 2So
11:16Speaker 2over at
11:17Speaker 2multiply, you know, you lost 3 pounds of muscle. It's just, for example, right, there's a 150 calories a day.
11:24Speaker 2You know, that adds up. K? If I was better at math, I would tell you, but 150 calories a day times times 7 days is 700.
11:34Speaker 2It's about 1000 calories a
11:36Speaker 2week that now we have lost.
11:38Speaker 2And that makes that last little bit of fat harder and harder to get off you if we have less muscle because it lowers your basal metabolic rate. Okay?
11:47Speaker 2So eat more protein. I know you're not gonna go to the gym because I would say, Hey, hit the gym, lift some weights, gain some of that muscle back, but Retta will help with this.
11:56Speaker 2If you switch to Retta, start at the same dose, but feel free to bump up a little bit. Okay? Maybe to, you know, to start at 2.5 makes for a week and or 2. And then if you feel like bumping up to, like,
12:08Speaker 23.5 or or
12:10Speaker 23.5,
12:10Speaker 2maybe up to 5 Migs a week. I don't think you need to go that high immediately. For sure not.
12:16Speaker 2But try that. That will give you a little bit more of an appetite. Okay? But make sure that when you do eat, now we're eating only protein. So so it goes to muscle, you sure don't lose any more muscle, but you might add some muscle, especially with your active job and and throwing the kids around.
12:31Speaker 2So there's that. And then hell, yeah, I would add AOD.
12:35Speaker 2If you're talking about 2 of them,
12:37Speaker 2I would say switch to Reta and start AOD.
12:40Speaker 2Run that. Run AOD for a good, like, 12 weeks,
12:44Speaker 23 months,
12:46Speaker 2and then switch
12:49Speaker 2to Tesamorelin
12:50Speaker 2or BAM 15. Right? Try them each.
12:53Speaker 2Does that make sense? Costly affordable
12:55Speaker 2AOD, Tesla, BAM,
12:57Speaker 2are all about the same price.
12:59Speaker 2So there's no,
13:01Speaker 2there's no real big difference on those guys.
13:04Speaker 2Yeah.
13:06Speaker 1I think that's it. That was good. Yeah. Yeah,
13:09Speaker 1I think that was great. So I would say
13:13Speaker 1here's 1 thing that I've been doing. So I am a very
13:17Speaker 1routine
13:18Speaker 1human
13:19Speaker 1OCD,
13:20Speaker 1if you will. I like to do things the same exact way, and that's just the way I roll. Now, 1 of the things that I do, I wake up at 4, I go downstairs, I hit coffee and I'm generally sitting on my chair for a good 10 minutes as a coffee's making, then I have 0.5 of a cup, blah, blah, Then I get into readings, blah, blah. 1 of the things that I have changed
13:38Speaker 1in the last 2 weeks is as I go and hit coffee, I go into my office and I do 200 sit ups. 1st thing that I do. So I get right to doing sit ups. It wakes me up more. I get the sit ups in because I at the gym, I don't really have to do
13:53Speaker 1abs if I don't want to, because sometimes I got to get out of there. And so I knocked the abs out right away. He wakes me up. So the reason I'm telling you this is do something like that. You don't have to hit the gym,
14:05Speaker 1but you definitely want to do some exercise. I get that your job is that, but
14:10Speaker 1don't ever
14:12Speaker 1like,
14:13Speaker 1sit ups and push ups are, like, amazing. Body weight squats. It's a bet. Yeah. Body weight squats,
14:19Speaker 1push ups, sit ups. You could crack that out in 15 minutes and go so far with just body weight stuff. So I'm gonna recommend that,
14:26Speaker 1for sure. Throw that in there. We already picked up the tab on this. Obviously, we're gonna say go to Retta, especially if you feel like you've been losing some muscle. The Retta, you're not gonna have to deal with that as much.
14:38Speaker 1AOD is gonna be great. I wouldn't really switch off the Retta. I would stay on it for a bit and then add in the AOD.
14:45Speaker 1And I mean, he's already said it. I don't want to be completely redundant. Then you can add in the Tesamorelin and it's all affordability, right?
14:51Speaker 1Retta, AOD 1st and foremost.
14:55Speaker 1And then if you can do the Tesamorelin at night, it helps with sleep and it will just burn that bottom belly fat. But
15:02Speaker 1we'll answer that. My only difference is going to be throwing some
15:06Speaker 1weights, throwing some exercise. You don't have weights. I mean, get some curls, 25 year curls. I mean, those are cheap and you can use so much. You can do triceps. You can do back.
15:15Speaker 1Can get it done. 15 minute workout every
15:19Speaker 2day. We'll do a lot. So throw that in. And what do you say too? Like, Hey, 1st thing in the morning, this is what we call kind of fasted cardio. Right? Well, if anybody's ever heard of that, why that makes sense is,
15:30Speaker 2well, we're fasted. We didn't eat anything. If you have any sugar carbs on board, right, in your system and you go work out, your body will not burn fat until those
15:39Speaker 2that sugar and carbs have been burnt off. K? It's fueling you to have a great workout. Cool. More energy, but exercise 1st thing in the morning. Your body goes, okay. Where's the carbs? None. Okay. I'll burn fat. Right? I'll burn fat. Yes. So that is 1 benefit to 1st thing in the morning. Plus it just boosts your metabolism all day long, and it makes you feel better. 15 minutes. Wakes you up. Last 15 minutes. Absolutely nothing.
16:03Speaker 2And frankly, body weight squats, dude, like, I do probably more for my legs nowadays.
16:09Speaker 2I do more body weight squats than anything. Yeah. Herschel Walker was famous. Mike Tyson never put weights on their back at all. Those dude's legs are this big around. And I know that's not your goal, but the point is that- Throw it in there. They still work and get you worked out. You know, it's funny, so side note. So 1 of the things when I 1st started my fitness thing, I was doing a lot of HIIT training and videos like that, you remember?
16:30Speaker 1And so I would do recordings and I wouldn't like rehearse them obviously. So I did a 1 where I wanted to switch it up from hit and do body weight, pushups, body weight, squats, and sit ups. I'm like, we're going to do 300 of each, hundred, hundred, hundred, then 100, So 100, I did 300 and I thought it was gonna be easy. I, it
16:49Speaker 1wasn't. And
16:50Speaker 1it was a lot harder and I couldn't like, I had to like get the video done, which I did, but it was rough, dude.
16:58Speaker 2Goes a long way. So Body weight goes a long way, dude. I mean, not a 100, but I think on these days where I'm like, I don't have that much time. Everything is kind of sore. Right? You don't really wanna work out a sore muscle because you just the whole point working a muscle out is you beat it down, you tear it down, then you just let it grow back. Right? If we're just
17:14Speaker 2continuing to go in and work a sore muscle out,
17:17Speaker 2you're defeating the purpose of really working it. Right? Tear down, let it eat protein, let it build. Yep. Right? But
17:23Speaker 2so the days I try not to like hit any muscle hard, so I'll do a variation of that and do 10 body weight squats,
17:30Speaker 210 pushups. Yep. And then either like 10 crunches or
17:34Speaker 210 pull ups gets to be a bit,
17:36Speaker 2tough, but even, I don't know if I have TRx bands or whatever, but I go 3 exercises, go 10, 10, 10, and then repeat 10 times. That's great. 10 rounds of that. Yeah. And don't try not to break. Right? You just try to just take great workout.
17:50Speaker 2It's a badass workout.
17:52Speaker 2Pull ups, sit ups, push ups, body squats. Squats. All you need, dude. It really is. People get ripped up in prison cells. I would be. I'm
18:01Speaker 1gonna make do here. All I'm doing. There you go. Okay.
18:04Speaker 1Alright, I'm a great informative podcast.
18:07Speaker 1New to peptides,
18:08Speaker 160 year old male. I'm coming off of 5 months of Sermorelin,
18:13Speaker 130 days,
18:15Speaker 11.25
18:16Speaker 1pin per day. Did I say that right? I don't know. Came off weird.
18:20Speaker 21.25
18:22Speaker 1pin per day. Then every other day for 120 days.
18:26Speaker 1TRT is 180 mg per week for the last 1.5
18:31Speaker 1years. Feeling really good. Awesome. My focus is to reduce the body fat
18:37Speaker 1from 30% to 20%.
18:40Speaker 1Hit the gym a minimum 3 days a week with push pull leg workout format at the purple, at the purple gym. That's funny. I know what you mean. That's funny. Right. Thought that.
18:51Speaker 1Cardio,
18:53Speaker 1have not done much of,
18:55Speaker 1do not focus on the scale would taking Retatrutide
18:59Speaker 1for 2 to 3 months,
19:01Speaker 1then going to CJC Ipamorelin
19:03Speaker 1be a good plan of attack to get the fat burned off. I do not want to lose muscle, just the fat. During the club diet is 75%
19:12Speaker 1roughly clean. I love when people say that. I shoot for 2 40 mg
19:17Speaker 1of protein
19:19Speaker 1per day
19:20Speaker 1at about 2,300
19:22Speaker 1to 2,400 calories a day. I do not smoke or drink alcohol.
19:27Speaker 1Desk job. So sedentary job, 6,000
19:31Speaker 1to 9,000 steps a day. Thoughts, suggestion,
19:34Speaker 1budget friendly. Thank you.
19:38Speaker 2I'm gonna do that. Wanna do it up? Then I'll go ahead.
19:42Speaker 1So,
19:43Speaker 1let me see if I can scale what you're taking. So would Retta work? Of course.
19:47Speaker 1There's nothing better. Mean, we
19:50Speaker 1say it so often, but like it's really true. There's very few people that it wouldn't before.
19:55Speaker 1And I'll say it again because I don't know when, what you've heard and what you haven't, but in my opinion is only going to Retatrutide is only going to be for not going to be for somebody tiny like my wife because she's too small and she would wither away. It really does have a place for most people
20:11Speaker 1regardless of what they're looking for. And the only difference is going to be Push your limits, train with precision,
20:17Speaker 0see the results. At Equinox, that's high performance loving.
20:21Speaker 0Everything you need to lock in and unlock your potential at Equinox. Start today at equinox.com.
20:30Speaker 1How much you take? So
20:33Speaker 1Retatrutide
20:34Speaker 1is and the dosage is the key. If you're trying to lose weight, you're gonna take more. If you're trying to just be more lean, if you're already lean, you take a tiny bit. Tiny bit goes a long way.
20:44Speaker 1So yes, to answer your question, 2 to 3 months of Retatrutide
20:47Speaker 1would be amazing.
20:50Speaker 1When you say,
20:51Speaker 175%
20:52Speaker 1roughly clean,
20:54Speaker 1it's always very vague to me because clean, what is clean? I I've, I've, done a fitness thing for a long time. And like when I would ask, when they would say clean and I would ask what clean means, it wouldn't really be clean. And I'm not challenging you. I'm just saying maybe elaborate a little bit more on the clean eating
21:10Speaker 1because that's
21:11Speaker 1a lot. So yeah, I think if you added some Retta, I think, you know, I'm a fasting guy. I talk about it a lot. If you just add in some fasting and just make some changes when it comes to that, the fasting goes a long way. Retrutide,
21:23Speaker 1you can get along with it just by the Retrutide.
21:25Speaker 1Now, going to CJC Ipamorelin after,
21:30Speaker 1can think of some other things that would do better. AOD,
21:32Speaker 1SLU-332,
21:35Speaker 1SLU-PP-332.
21:37Speaker 1I think those are a little better. I think Will knows this. I'm not the biggest fan of CJC
21:42Speaker 1just from what I've read. And then I finally, for the 1st time, took it recently and just didn't like it. It really kind of like coincided with things that I read. I stopped it fairly quickly.
21:52Speaker 1Huge fan of the secretagogues,
21:53Speaker 1not the biggest fan of CJC. I would say Tesamorelin, if you're going to add that in Tesamorelin
21:57Speaker 1is, is FDA approved to burn belly fat. That's going to do better for you.
22:03Speaker 1So yeah, that's it. Focus on your diet. 75%
22:07Speaker 1roughly clean. I would dig into what that means
22:10Speaker 1and get it to be a lot more clean because diet is the key of everything.
22:16Speaker 1Hormones, you got those in line.
22:20Speaker 1Did I answer all these questions?
22:22Speaker 2Kinda sorta not really? 0 Yeah. Yeah. No, that was good. Yeah. That's fine. Okay, cool. All right. Here is what stands out to me.
22:30Speaker 21st question being,
22:33Speaker 2would taking Reta 2 to 3 months then going to CJC Ipah because you don't wanna lose muscle. So here's the deal. Like when you're on Reta, any of these GLP-1s,
22:42Speaker 2you are at now, Retta's pretty damn good. It actually tries to protect your muscle,
22:48Speaker 2but I can't say it's 100% foolproof of not going catabolic, which is having
22:53Speaker 2your body use your muscle for energy, therefore losing muscle. But on the secreted drugs,
23:00Speaker 2that's 1 of the biggest things about your growth hormone being elevated is like you will not lose any muscle. I don't care what kind of, you know, you can just run yourself to death every day. If your HGH is high, it's crazy how
23:12Speaker 2you're not gonna lose much muscle at all. So my suggestion would be to be on a secretagogue while doing Retta. Right. K?
23:21Speaker 2The secretagogue,
23:23Speaker 2hey, the CJC Ipoh or Tesa Ipoh for sure do both. You do do 1 or the other. K?
23:29Speaker 2Sir okay. Maybe I'll get back to Sermorelin, but I just think that, again, GHRH,
23:34Speaker 2GHRP
23:35Speaker 2in conjunction with each other, it's gonna be much more effective. There's gonna a synergistic effect. Okay? Yeah.
23:41Speaker 2When the product of the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts, okay, they will do a lot more than just 1 plus 1. Right? Together is gonna give you more.
23:52Speaker 2But,
23:53Speaker 2hey, like you
23:55Speaker 2as far as the burning fat part of the CJC IpA, it's like, man, does that, like, a personal
24:01Speaker 2sometimes it burns a lot of fat on certain people and, like, sometimes people don't really notice what it's doing. Really what it's gonna tell you is like how low your natural growth is. So as you get older though, and I believe said 60, so like now is it. Bet that stuff will work very well for you. I bet it worked really, really well for you.
24:18Speaker 2I don't I don't think the secret I don't think anybody
24:21Speaker 2under 30,
24:23Speaker 240 should be will really notice much from a secreted gun,
24:26Speaker 2unless you're a woman.
24:28Speaker 2That'll help help you gain some muscle. But so I would do them at the same time, and you just gotta try. You just gotta go, hey, man. I'm gonna do the CJC up at 1st. Great. Do it. Run it at least 3, I'd say 3, 4 months. Okay? Then make a decision.
24:43Speaker 2But but I would say then switch to Tesamorelin.
24:46Speaker 2And I don't know the 3rd the Sermorelin 30 days,
24:49Speaker 21 time a day of 0.25 pin per day. Then every other day for a 120, do that. All of these secreted dogs need to be done every day. There is no such thing as a loading phase. Like the loading
25:03Speaker 2phase, if that's what you were trying to say,
25:05Speaker 2that you
25:07Speaker 2do these every day because that's how long they last in you. Right?
25:10Speaker 2They don't build up in you. So just every day. And there's and don't do 5 days on, 2 days off. Only reason you wanna do that is to save money, but it it will be less effective.
25:19Speaker 2Agreed. A lot of people say that though. It is what it is. That's like an old thing from bodybuilders and growth. Like, oh, 5 days on, 2 days off. It's just because it was expensive, so there was a strategy to save money, but it's going to be,
25:29Speaker 2it's way more effective just every day. Okay.
25:32Speaker 2Then,
25:34Speaker 2Hey dude, I don't know. I liked the 2 40 g, but it seems to me that anybody,
25:39Speaker 2if you're eating enough protein,
25:41Speaker 2that's
25:43Speaker 2a lot. That's hard to do. So if you're actually doing that, chances are you're
25:47Speaker 2getting enough fat because usually fat comes in with protein,
25:51Speaker 2assuming you're not on like a ketogenic or carnivore diet. Right? But you're probably getting enough fat, and you're probably not eating a whole bunch of carbs.
25:59Speaker 2So you better be Okay. So I just I don't know. It just if I'm if I'm hitting my protein, like, I'm doing really good.
26:06Speaker 2All the other stuff just falls in line just as a general
26:09Speaker 2barometer.
26:11Speaker 2You know? And you're getting 96 you're getting 960 calories a day from 240 grams. So how are we feeling the rest of those calories? Right? Let's
26:20Speaker 2you know, they're gonna be from sugar or, from carbs or fat, but just make sure that those are about even maybe macros is another conversation.
26:29Speaker 2Yeah. Steps,
26:30Speaker 2I think that when people tell me, and no offense to you, but like when people tell me how many steps they get, it's equivalent
26:36Speaker 2to somebody telling me how much they can leg press.
26:39Speaker 2It means nothing to me.
26:42Speaker 2Leg, I mean, step, I don't care. You're not burning fat walking. Sorry. Like you're just, you're not, your HURBIT's not getting elevated enough. You're just slowly burning off energy from your body. Right? So
26:52Speaker 2don't, I don't care about the steps. They don't mean anything. I think that Apple has
26:57Speaker 2made us think that you're healthy if we get more steps in. That's not a, it's- It doesn't matter. Doesn't, it actually doesn't really work that well. We need to have real exercise.
27:07Speaker 2Okay? And frankly, I don't care about doing cardio either. Cardio is not as you will not burn as much fat. Person does cardio as much as they lift weights, person lifting weights is gonna burn way more calories, right? Because you have when you tear your muscle down and it is sore,
27:22Speaker 2every day you're running a ton of calories, your body trying to repair that. Right? Way more than and when you do cardio cool, you might be burning a little bit more more calories during the act than lifting weights. Soon as you stop,
27:34Speaker 2calories done burning. Yeah. But lifting weights, that caloric burn continues on for 2 days as long as you're sore. Yep. Plus,
27:44Speaker 2plus usually doing cardio, you burn off muscle, which just kills your metabolism also. So
27:50Speaker 2good. Don't care really about cardio. Cardio, the only good thing is, I mean, for your heart, you want your heart to be healthy. So I don't wanna say don't ever do cardio, but your cardio better be in the heart healthy zone, which is like above 80%
28:00Speaker 2of your of your like VO 2 of your, your maximum
28:04Speaker 1heart rate. So many people that don't know that what you just said. Yeah. Yeah. Very good that you did. And I believe your max rate is calculated 2 20 minuteus your age.
28:11Speaker 2Mean, there's a longer calculation, but that's a rough 1. 2 20 minuteus your age, that's your max heart rate,
28:18Speaker 280%
28:19Speaker 2and more,
28:21Speaker 2are basically doing enough cardio.
28:23Speaker 2Your heart is getting a workout. Your heart's a muscle. That thing needs to get a, get a good workout in.
28:29Speaker 2Then you're actually giving yourself some cardiovascular support.
28:33Speaker 2Other than that, I think what is it like 70
28:36Speaker 2to 80 is
28:38Speaker 2now we're burning fat. Now basically, if you're in the
28:42Speaker 2the heart cardio zone,
28:44Speaker 2your body is working so hard that it is burning muscle and fat. So there's your trade off is what it is.
28:51Speaker 1Percent, 60 to 70. Right. I'd rather do it 1 way. Sorry. I don't even do cardio. And eat healthy. Right? Yeah. I was gonna say, like, you that's like, it's so funny because, like, I don't do cardio. If I'm ever gonna do it, it's hit, but I haven't done it forever because of my back. But lifting
29:03Speaker 1weights, I love it. I don't do cardio. People think that's crazy because they probably think because I'm lean that I do a lot of cardio, but I don't. I eat right. I fast and I eat right. I don't do cardio. I hate cardio. I don't want to do cardio. So for my heart, it probably would be good if I did it sometimes, but I fast a lot and I think the fasting picks up the tab for a lot. It does. It does. Go to the gym and go look at who's in shape. See, abs, it's diet pressure. But, like, where are they? What are they doing? Right? Where are the women who are in shape? Are they on tell me if they're all on the cardio equipment or are they in the weight room?
29:34Speaker 2That'll answer your question. Right?
29:37Speaker 1I think 1 of the things that you said that kind of sat with me, which was rad, which is if
29:42Speaker 1you have HGH growth hormone, you're not going to lose muscle, which is awesome because it's funny because we had recorded a video right before we sat for my channel because I get challenged on that really quickly and I want to tap on it because
29:55Speaker 1I eat, I fast a lot and only sometimes 1 big meal. And a lot of people question that, like, do you get enough nutrients? How do you get enough protein, blah, blah, blah. Well, I take human growth hormone for 1. And when you fast, your body releases human growth hormone for 2, and you don't need as much food as we think we do for 3. So that's how that stuff works, you know? So it's diet. Like again, we're gonna, Will and I are gonna say diet, diet, diet, diet, diet is such a big part of health.
30:22Speaker 1Supplements are freaking great, but if you don't have hormones in line and diet supplements don't mean shit. It's just the truth. I'm gonna be blunt with you. That's just the So diet, diet, And to be real for all of you haters, like,
30:34Speaker 2he he is, like, enhanced. Right? So he's taking some testosterone and HGH. Right? And then I mean, that's what we call enhanced, but, like, his hormones are optimized. So some rule, if your hormones are not optimized,
30:46Speaker 2right, if you're not at those, like, great levels,
30:50Speaker 2a lot of what he said isn't gonna work for you. Sorry.
30:54Speaker 1Yeah. So if you're if you're someone that wants to like, okay, like, it's great to like study what somebody does. We're advocates of you want to be successful, do it successfully. But you have to understand that, I've done a lot of things to get to the point where I'm doing all this. Know it works for me. So if you're coming in for somebody, been sitting on the couch for a long time and that's your life, and then you wanna do exactly how I do it, like without the HGH or the testosterone, just wanna it's not gonna work the same. It's not gonna work this. It's all optimized. Yep. And,
31:23Speaker 2but again, there are natural ways to bump up your testosterone and your growth hormone. Okay? It may not be as effective or quick as this. I'm not just saying, like, if you're a person who's like, I just will not ever touch those. Right. That's okay. You might have to work a little bit harder.
31:37Speaker 2And you may not get to the exact, you know, optimization.
31:43Speaker 1But I don't wanna just say, hey, quit trying. Alright? Zone.
31:47Speaker 2Okay. Next 1 I'm so I've been on a GLP
31:51Speaker 2for 3 years now, semaglutide at 2 Migs for 3 years. Loving
31:56Speaker 2that. Dose, though. Yes. Lotus. And recently added Tessa Ipah, 1 Migs Tessa every morning and 150
32:04Speaker 2to 200 micrograms of IpA every morning, 5 days on and 2 days off. I'm
32:12Speaker 23 weeks into this cycle, 3 weeks. Okay. Was wondering how beneficial it is actually to fast after taking these.
32:19Speaker 2I don't have any side effects or benefits just yet, so hoping these should hit soonish, but I was wondering if I could do it unfasted.
32:27Speaker 2I tried taking it at nights, but wrecked my sleep according to my AuraRing.
32:31Speaker 2Just curious how long I need to wait to eat or drink taking
32:35Speaker 2these to get results. Thank you for everything do. Okay,
32:37Speaker 2here is the problem
32:41Speaker 2is
32:42Speaker 2you need to be fasted while taking them, but not after taking them.
32:48Speaker 2So
32:49Speaker 2it all this is like, yo, I wanna eat. How long do I have to wait to eat? So the trick is you need to be fasted while you take them. So like I would say, don't eat for an hour before taking them. But also wait, like, I don't know, 0.5 hour, maybe maybe an hour after, but then you can eat.
33:06Speaker 2So I think that fundamentally
33:08Speaker 2changes
33:09Speaker 2all of your problems, hopefully.
33:11Speaker 2Because your problems were, hey, I I hate going to sleep on an empty stomach. It's not I that's the worst thing ever. I can feel my ribs while I'm you don't have to do that. You just need to be fasted.
33:20Speaker 2Take it.
33:22Speaker 2Eat a little bit of food, and I do think you should eat some nutrients before you go to sleep, like protein, especially, because that's then we got a building blocks for the biggest time that we actually body builds.
33:32Speaker 2So I think hopefully that answers your question.
33:35Speaker 1I,
33:38Speaker 1are you done? Yep. Well, I would switch to get off Semaglutide.
33:42Speaker 1It's so outdated and just, man, you can
33:45Speaker 1be driving the Rolls Royce of GLP-1s
33:48Speaker 1and you're still like not you're choosing not to. They're the same price basically. So get off Semaglutide and get on the Retrutide and you get an upgrade very quickly. So do that. It'll make a huge difference. Yeah. And again, I, you, you did say that you did try to do the secretagog ZAT
34:04Speaker 1night.
34:05Speaker 1I
34:06Speaker 1don't know if you're your aura ringer or whatever was saying that you had bad sleep, but they should be
34:11Speaker 1improving your sleep. Tesamorelin shouldn't be improving your sleep. So I'd give it some time. I would definitely take it at night. Let it run its course. Maybe your body at 1st is just kind of acting like that, but I'm going to say you're going take a security dog at night. That's
34:24Speaker 2cool. But you can eat after taking it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think your pro probably your sleep was bad because you're starving while you're while you're sleeping. Right. And that does suck.
34:33Speaker 2Also, okay, 3 weeks. You know what? Got this, these things were kind of a long place. So if you 3 weeks, yeah, keep going. Don't expect and you don't, it's funny. You don't really
34:43Speaker 2see feel this like drastic change. Right? But go at least 3 months, I mean,
34:49Speaker 2and then switch to a secret to go to a different 1.
34:52Speaker 2Do that 3 to 4 months and then switch back.
34:55Speaker 2But it's a long term play, so don't expect immediate results, but it really is good for you. And I'm talking like, Most yeah, long
35:02Speaker 1are. I think people, you know, especially you started, it sounds like you started with Semaglutide,
35:07Speaker 1which you probably saw results really quickly. So you're probably thinking when you take the other compounds, you're going to find the same results and just, it's just not that way. I mean, most things take time, right? The GLP-1s are a little bit of an outlier when it comes to that stuff, but, and, you know,
35:22Speaker 1you know, for lack of a better way to say this, I think, you know, there's some people still hold like, peptides and compare them to like a steroid
35:31Speaker 1or like gear in a sense. You're just not gonna feel anything. This is not like,
35:35Speaker 1this is not how it works. You know, it's not how it works. You're just going to improve your body. You know, you have to have the other things in line again, diet and sleep and things like that to enhance them, and that can help them work quicker. But again, you're not going to really feel anything per se. You're just going to be healthier.
35:51Speaker 2You'll sort of feel it when you stop. If
35:53Speaker 2you do have 3, 4 months, when you stop, you'll go, oh, that's what I was doing. Damn. Growth hormone for sure. Yeah. Like, I was way my body was way more forgiving if I did ate anything bad or didn't exercise or,
36:06Speaker 2you know, exercise too much. Right. Like, all the muscle just stayed on me. The other thing is you do say, hey, how long do I need to wait to eat and drink? Like, dude, drink. Go ahead. I mean, this can't be like protein shakes drinking, but like drink a bunch of water if you want. That
36:19Speaker 2that is not a
36:21Speaker 2negative that that is not not fasting.
36:24Speaker 2Right? Makes sense? Damn.
36:27Speaker 2There was something else that I meant to say. Maybe I'll come back to it. But yeah, drink water's cool, man. Drink water
36:33Speaker 2and black coffee basically don't it's drinking foods that have nutrients in them. Anything that breaks a fast, right, that has calories in it. People think gum. I gum and I fast, so I
36:44Speaker 1chew gum. So sorry.
36:47Speaker 2And die hards are like, hey,
36:50Speaker 2man. Listen.
36:52Speaker 1All
36:53Speaker 1right.
36:54Speaker 1All right. You're up. I'm up. Good question.
36:57Speaker 1Get off that Semaglutide.
36:59Speaker 1I would. Yeah. All right.
37:02Speaker 1JT will
37:03Speaker 1love the material you guys are covering the podcast. Been doing peptides for 4 months now. Freaking love them. Don't we all? How happens? I'm looking to take HGH
37:13Speaker 1and incorporating it into my next stack. Also getting blood work
37:17Speaker 1done to check my testosterone because I'm looking into TRT. I'm 32, pretty young, 32 year old male, lift 4 to 5 times a week,
37:27Speaker 1looking to pack on some lean muscle, start a new year, then look to get shredded before summer.
37:33Speaker 1I'm wanting to know for someone who is just starting HGH,
37:38Speaker 1what is an ideal dose or units to take per day or week? Would it be best to microdose like I do with peptides?
37:47Speaker 1What's your typical units per taking HGH
37:49Speaker 1and TRT daily, and what is your typical protocol? As you mentioned a while back on the podcast, HGH and TRT
37:57Speaker 1are staples in your regimen.
37:58Speaker 1I will be more than likely combining these with BPC-one hundred 57, NAD plus
38:04Speaker 1and Tesamorelin at night. Thanks guys. Love you much. You want me to jump on that? Go ahead. So yeah, they are. HGH
38:12Speaker 1and TRT are staples of mine. I've been taking HGH for quite some time, years, and I don't ever push the limits. I take low dose.
38:21Speaker 1I did 1 unit for a very long time. Do you remember? 1 unit. Then I even pushed it. I should probably been a couple of years since I've been 2 now, but some people still see a video from when I did 1. They're like, But I don't go above that. I think my take on HGH
38:36Speaker 1is it's freaking amazing. There's nothing that's better than TRT.
38:40Speaker 1That's the godfather, so to speak. 32 is young. I'd like to see where your numbers are at.
38:46Speaker 1Now I have worked with some 32 year olds for sure when
38:50Speaker 1I was doing the fitness stuff and I was definitely more surprised than expected on
38:56Speaker 1people in their young thirties coming back with low doses, low, like 300 or below on TRT 2. Was actually blown away when I started seeing that. You could be very low, but 32 is young in my opinion for TRT. So you definitely need to get your blood work,
39:12Speaker 1total tests, free test, estrogen levels at a minimum. If you want to call Doctor. Scott, he can help you with some of that stuff and read that stuff with you and then go from there. So TRT,
39:23Speaker 1you need to get that done 1st.
39:25Speaker 1HGH,
39:26Speaker 1again, 32 is a little bit young.
39:28Speaker 1Know, with the food we eat, it's poison. It's so a lot of people's numbers are kind of our toast, but 2 I use to
39:35Speaker 1answer your questions. I take, I never go above it ever. I believe, I personally believe with what
39:43Speaker 1I've read,
39:44Speaker 1it's
39:45Speaker 1just so low in regards to risk that for me, it outweighs
39:51Speaker 1any type of
39:52Speaker 1problems that some people think HGH brings. I think a lot of that stuff is just not true.
39:58Speaker 1The cancer thing has been running around for years. We've been, I've heard it since the beginning of time that HGH causes cancer.
40:06Speaker 1Anything abused
40:08Speaker 1causes problems.
40:09Speaker 1You know what I w I worry about more than HGH Doritos.
40:13Speaker 1I'm serious. Don't eat Doritos cause that's poison.
40:17Speaker 1Take HGH.
40:18Speaker 1You're going to have a lot more benefits from HGH than Doritos. So worry about that type of stuff, crap food.
40:24Speaker 0So HGH2 IUs, I would not recommend going over it. It's a long play. If you do decide to make an edgy Push your limits, train with precision, see the results. At Equinox, that's high performance loving. Everything you need to lock in and unlock your potential at Equinox.
40:40Speaker 0Start today at equinox.com.
40:45Speaker 1Cated opinion, which I hope you do some study and don't just take our opinions from the show. Study it, take our opinions, then study it, do the research to where you feel like you're educated
40:55Speaker 1and then decide if you're going to jump. And if you do, it's a long play. You won't really see a whole lot for 6 months, but my play on it was when you get to 6 months, you will notice that burning fat is a lot easier. It's just the way it is. Yeah. So
41:10Speaker 1that's my take. TRT, get your hormones checked. If you do the HGH,
41:14Speaker 1more than 2 IU. I truly don't believe anybody needs it. Alright.
41:18Speaker 2So
41:20Speaker 2the last question, like, why do you take it fasted? She didn't ask that, but it's helpful to tell people, like especially the secretagogues, there's a lot of these Pep Beds you don't need to take it fasted. Like all the healing BPC doesn't matter.
41:33Speaker 2But HGH
41:34Speaker 2and secretagogues,
41:35Speaker 2it is important to take fasted. That means, like, having no and and the quick answer is,
41:41Speaker 2a, like, they if you eat food and your body's processing food,
41:45Speaker 2that the the secretagogue
41:47Speaker 2and that food and sugar are competing for the same pathways. Right? And so essentially,
41:51Speaker 2you just
41:53Speaker 2only 1 goes in the pathway. That's the simp this is a oversimplified
41:56Speaker 1version, but
41:59Speaker 2they're gonna compete for the same pathways and, hey, you might not get all that, get all the secretagogue because your body's processing
42:05Speaker 1food Get and
42:07Speaker 2them, like, get the best of them. Yeah. Absolutely. And then also sugar, right? Like, just, sorry, when we have when our insulin is increased,
42:14Speaker 2which it that's its response to us eating sugar,
42:18Speaker 2the,
42:19Speaker 2the secretagogue's effects are just blunted. They just will not work as well. K? If you have sugar carbs on board. K? There's that quickly. Okay. Your other person, I agree. So I agree on this 1. I think that more on the the growth.
42:34Speaker 2I just don't do that your age of 32.
42:37Speaker 2I don't know if it's gonna really work that much. Yeah. Because your growth hormone's
42:41Speaker 2probably really good
42:42Speaker 2and it's just not going to see that great of an effect.
42:46Speaker 2You might just be spinning your wheels,
42:48Speaker 2taking the HGH,
42:50Speaker 1the TOT of, absolutely get your blood work done, see if it's necessary. And I would love to see who, if you're hearing this, which I hope you asked it. So I hope you watch and listen,
43:00Speaker 1I would love if you shot us a DM after you get the blood work done, because I
43:05Speaker 1want to see where you're at. You're 32.
43:07Speaker 1Gosh, man. Like it's, I was really blown away when I was having younger guys have their blood work done. I was like, dude, woah, it's an epidemic out there, man. It's the food. It's poison.
43:18Speaker 1Hormone.
43:19Speaker 1Everything's full hormone. It's sugar.
43:21Speaker 2It's just- Well, I think it's the food. It's also just a laid back lifestyle too. Like, everybody is so lazy
43:28Speaker 2today.
43:29Speaker 2So 1 of the reasons, you know, 100 years ago, people had way higher tests and were more just virile because they had to take Worked
43:36Speaker 2showers, and it was cold, and their body had they had to go kill their food and work hard. Right? That
43:42Speaker 2all that stuff, right? Is higher, gives you higher testosterone.
43:45Speaker 2Yeah. Sitting in the couch and doing nothing in the desk job and keeping the temp, the heat all nice and take a nice, comfortable, warm showers and like does not,
43:54Speaker 2isn't conducive to higher testosterone.
43:56Speaker 1There's some studies done where, like,
43:59Speaker 1natural
44:00Speaker 1ways, whether don't I don't know how good this works, but I mean, there's been studies done where, like, like,
44:06Speaker 1sitting by a tree. I know that sounds woo woo, but sitting by a tree, you're like walk grounding, meaning like taking your shoes off and walking on the ground, sitting by a tree. We don't do that. And people don't do that anymore. We don't walk on the grass. We don't do those types of things. They used to do those things all the time. Yeah.
44:21Speaker 1I don't think it's gonna increase your, like, any type of testosterone, but
44:24Speaker 1good. Good enough. Get back to the old school, man. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I would. Sitting on the couch with the controller Yeah. Not doing anything. He's some twinkies and going, what? Testosterone
44:33Speaker 1low. Yes.
44:35Speaker 2Right. This is I mean, part of the reason is, hey. You know, cold cold plunges, that's 1 of the reasons that will help. Your body just you just shuck the shit out of your body. Yeah. And it will help your your testosterone.
44:47Speaker 2Okay. And then finally, yeah, you you help you did say, hey, should I microdose the h there is no
44:53Speaker 2there is no such thing as micro dosing. You're already micro dosing HGH.
44:56Speaker 2It's daily. It is daily, daily, daily, daily, daily. I would say, I know everybody would be surprised if you actually knew what he tells you, but if you actually believed him on
45:06Speaker 2the doses of testosterone and HGH that he takes, I've known him for a long time,
45:11Speaker 2you can't take that much testosterone.
45:13Speaker 2I don't think you ever have taken more than 200 or you haven't been like, oh shit, this is bad for me.
45:18Speaker 2And yes, he's at 1 IU of growth and maybe 2 and 2 nowadays. But personally, go between like 2 to 3 IUs of growth. I would say that there's no, I would don't go more than 4. Some people are saying, are you just going to go higher? Well, let's talk about it for 2nd. The
45:35Speaker 11 thing, the difference, if you compare me and you, 1, you're a lot bigger, but like that's the obvious 1. 2,
45:40Speaker 1you don't stay on it more. I'm not necessarily doing it in perpetuity, but I've taken a lot longer than you do. I think you kind of go off and on it more than I do. So I think that, like, if you did it from the standpoint of that, you could get away with some 3. Yeah. Sometimes 4. That is true. That is true. But here's but people, I don't get off of it on purpose. There's just been different times in my life that I've stopped.
46:02Speaker 2Forget. Yeah, like forget, I don't know. And frankly, I am now
46:06Speaker 2it's about it's that time to maybe get myself fertile.
46:10Speaker 2Everybody knows what that means. I'm going to lower the hell out of my testosterone, like take really like, I'm not getting off completely.
46:18Speaker 2Like you said, well, let God sort it out. Yeah.
46:22Speaker 2But maybe like 50 Migs a week.
46:25Speaker 2And
46:26Speaker 21 of from this from the laboratory
46:29Speaker 2that
46:31Speaker 2that we
46:33Speaker 2work with or have, right, our main kind of doctor or chemist has told me that I should probably get off the growth, but I don't but I've also talked to different doctors and they've said, get on and grow.
46:44Speaker 2So
46:45Speaker 2I'm definitely, I'm gonna drop it down to 1 IU. I would like to ask And him super low. Did he say why? Did he elaborate on the why? No, but I can get that answer. That would be interesting. I can get the answer. So,
46:54Speaker 2but I think I'm gonna drop it down to 1 IU and drop down my test down to really low
46:59Speaker 2and take HCG
47:01Speaker 2and clomiphene.
47:03Speaker 2And then HMG is the last thing that is
47:07Speaker 2super expensive. Folks like incubate, like 75 IU bottles, right? And that's basically your daily dose. You're killing a bottle a day. Yeah. I don't know. I think I may just not do that and then see if it works, but I'm not talking and I'm actually kind of preparing. I don't expect to have sex once and like pregnant because it takes like that. Time. I think you can do it for a long period, like HCG. Yeah. Yeah. Thousand IUs 3 times a week. Yep.
47:30Speaker 1I think you're golden. It'll take a while. And I will take But you have you can't if you do it like consistent,
47:36Speaker 1I believe you that And
47:38Speaker 2I'm gonna take 25 mgs of Enclomiphene daily. So usually guys like Enclomiphene generally like it's 1 pill is 12.5 mgs.
47:45Speaker 1So, that's what I'm gonna do. And, and this data is not just me just making shit up. Gotta, No, no, that's scary. No, there's been we've talked about it a lot and I, my wife has probably listened to this, so close your ears, honey. So I'm not gonna like, because she's in the house. She's be, get out of clomiphene.
47:58Speaker 1She wants to have another baby. You know how I know because she tells me every day. Honey, I love you. She's listening for sure. She likes the show, but like, Enclomiphene works.
48:06Speaker 1Then, yeah, I mean, there's ways to expedite things and do it a little bit faster. Even
48:12Speaker 1the thousand IUs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it's not a cheap dig. Like, you know, HCG is not a cheap gig. That's a 9 month play give or take. You got to know that it's, if you, if you want to stay on testosterone and your bride or girlfriend wants to have a baby, it's not going to be the cheapest thing. It's not going to be the cheapest thing. Yeah. And, and also just jumping
48:32Speaker 2jumping to growth hormone, forget the baby talk.
48:35Speaker 2If you want to start on HGH,
48:38Speaker 2yeah, man, 6 months, you might start maybe
48:41Speaker 2start to see some results, right? A year that's when it starts, we get real good benefits. 5
48:46Speaker 2years,
48:47Speaker 2you know, you're going to look as young as you did 5 years ago. Right? That is a, it's a long term place, a budget for it. There's no point to do it for 2, 3 months. I always say I
48:57Speaker 1always say, like, just think logically. Why do all the movie stars on HGH? Yeah. Because it freaking works when they stay younger. Mhmm. Right? Just be logical. And when you start growth, everybody just realized this. You will feel a little bit lethargic, the 1st couple weeks. Okay?
49:09Speaker 2That's normal. That's good. Yep. Then you start getting kinda like swollen knuckles, little little kind of tingling. Those are all good signs. Yeah. The tiredness goes away. So just deal with it. Your body's basically using more calories. Right? It's trying to grow. Trying to grow everywhere. Right? And and that makes us tired. The same reason you do leg day and you're tired tomorrow. You're not tired because if it's like, it's a hangover because you worked so hard yesterday. No, no, no. You're tired right now because your muscles right now just got got tore down yesterday and they are still, they're using a lot of calories to re repair themselves. And that overall caloric burn saps your energy. Okay.
49:46Speaker 2Next. Oh, and so we went over dosage with this dude. Yeah. Okay.
49:51Speaker 2All
49:52Speaker 2the other peptides,
49:53Speaker 2drug, go ahead. None of them will interfere
49:56Speaker 2and
49:57Speaker 2do do it up.
50:00Speaker 2Okay. Although other okay. Anyway, what's up fellas? I'm 43
50:05Speaker 25 11
50:06Speaker 2and weigh 1 85, around 10% body fat. Cool. Trying to lean up a bit more. My current stack is Enclomiphene,
50:13Speaker 2MOTS-3GHK,
50:14Speaker 2Wolverine,
50:15Speaker 2CJC
50:16Speaker 2slash Ipah with Ipah. I recently got Retta from my doc at 1 MIG a week. Just had labs done, and my test was 1,100, and Estradiol was 75. Should
50:26Speaker 2I jump on the Retta or try an AI 1st?
50:30Speaker 2God bless you guys and have,
50:33Speaker 2you guys age happy New Year. Okay.
50:37Speaker 2I don't think the Retta or AI have anything to do with each other whatsoever, so I would say get on the Retta. On the Retta, though, didn't he? No. He just he just got it from his doc. Got it. Got it. So the estradiol is too high.
50:49Speaker 2Okay. When we're talking TRT,
50:51Speaker 2I agree that, like, you shouldn't be taking as much testosterone to need an AI, and long term use of an AI is not good for you for various, various reasons. Yeah. But
51:01Speaker 2it's necessary if your estradiol is at 75.
51:04Speaker 2I would take the AI and get it down.
51:07Speaker 2Right?
51:08Speaker 2Get that down and oh, I don't know if you're feeling it and seeing these side effects. Side effects, like your main guys with, if your estrogen is too high, I can tell you immediately as soon as my estrogen is high,
51:18Speaker 1acne,
51:20Speaker 2we start seeing like little dotted out and then actually just having your more oily skin breaking out. What the hell? Don't know.
51:27Speaker 2That's an immediate sign. I know estrogen's too high. Yep.
51:31Speaker 2Any nipple sensitivity.
51:33Speaker 2Okay? That's not good. You need to you need to stop that immediately. Take an AI right now because what your body is doing is building fat underneath your nipples. It is trying to build you women's breasts.
51:44Speaker 2K? That's a permanent problem.
51:47Speaker 2If you build up even a little bit of fat in there, you would need to get it cut out. You can't burn that fat off. Yep.
51:53Speaker 2So don't It's a gland. Stop it before it starts.
51:58Speaker 2Water retention, excess water retention. If you're looking bloated
52:01Speaker 2everywhere, not just not talking about stomach bloat, but just your body's retaining water. Your estrogen is too high and, you know, general mood swings. So just think of like, if you're a woman, she's turning into a woman,
52:11Speaker 2estrogen is too high. Okay?
52:13Speaker 2You're crying a lot. I'm crying a lot. What is wrong with women? Complaining about like, oh, I'm retaining water. That's because their estrogen's higher. So
52:22Speaker 2anyway,
52:23Speaker 2those 2 don't have anything to do with each other. I would get on the Retta. I would also take an estrogen blocker, an AI, and a Strozole probably,
52:31Speaker 2and get that balanced and then take it out a little bit. You gotta find your sweet spot. Alright?
52:37Speaker 2Measure up your testosterone, but take your estradiol until symptoms gone.
52:42Speaker 2And then you want to slowly take out, slow and lower, reduce your dose
52:47Speaker 2systematically
52:48Speaker 2and find your sweet spot. And hopefully you can get down at a low enough
52:52Speaker 2test dose where you don't need the AI, but if you want to take a whole bunch of tests, you're going to need a little bit of AI. Take as little as possible.
52:58Speaker 2And
53:00Speaker 2but maybe you're not even taking tests because you're taking Enclomiphene. As is it. But
53:05Speaker 2still, maybe you're in Enclomiphene. It's just maybe you're The naturals. Maybe your natural test, bro, is really good, and you don't need the Enclomiphene. Pretty true. I mean, 1,100 ain't off the charts, but it's probably a little high for what's the free test. Yeah.
53:18Speaker 1Like There's a, like another piece of that puzzle that will tell a little bit, because if you're 1,100 on your total tests and like 6 on your free test, there's something wrong.
53:27Speaker 1I mean, 5 is definitely high. I mean,
53:30Speaker 1estrogen is, is really strange because as hopefully you guys, if you haven't didn't go and watch the last episode that we had with Doctor. Scott, because it was such a, it was such a great conversation.
53:40Speaker 1I'm 2 with 2 of my best friends talking about stuff. I love to talk about like, dude, this what I do for a living. It's crazy. But the thing is, is I
53:47Speaker 1talked with Doctor. Scott after the show about some estrogen stuff, and he likes to be as estrogen, estradiol at 50, which to me seems extremely high because from what I read,
53:58Speaker 1that's just as high, that's on the, like, almost like gynecomastia
54:01Speaker 1type issues,
54:03Speaker 1but
54:04Speaker 1you, everybody is a science project. Everybody's different. Like, are you,
54:09Speaker 1you know, you know what I mean? It wasn't methylating and things like that. It's all going to play a role
54:14Speaker 1in how you feel. So if he likes to run high on the testosterone,
54:18Speaker 1but higher on the estrogen,
54:20Speaker 1do you convert to estrogen? Does it, does it cause gyno? Like for Will, he doesn't really get gyno. I've got gyno since he's known me. Like if I go, if I go over 180,
54:28Speaker 1I'd know it because I convert estrogen. So again, these are things that play such a role where
54:35Speaker 1the numbers are good beacons,
54:38Speaker 1but we are science project
54:40Speaker 1and they're not like the definitive, like another example.
54:44Speaker 1So I'll tell you, like, there's people that say, need to do a Retatrutide once a week and it's the science, all this stuff. Okay, cool. Well, we know a lot of people that have done Retrutide and we have found with our hands on, so to speak of seeing people's progress, they do better micro dosing.
55:01Speaker 1Now science can say this, but this says this what's right or wrong.
55:05Speaker 1You can choose and whatever you want. So I hope that didn't confuse the situation by my mean, these numbers are great.
55:11Speaker 1You do need to say what your free test is because that does play a role with it because if it's a wide range of something wrong. Again, you might not even need the Enclomiphene,
55:19Speaker 1but 1,100 to me in total,
55:22Speaker 1it's not that big of a deal. Like to be like 900,
55:25Speaker 11,100,
55:26Speaker 1900 to 1000 11 hundreds right on that high mark.
55:30Speaker 1Again,
55:31Speaker 1the free test is really what you're using in like sex drives energy and things like that. So you're going to want to know what that is. So if you did get your blood work done without that, get that. And
55:41Speaker 2just an FYI, the starting, well,
55:44Speaker 2The starting dose from manufacturer,
55:46Speaker 2A BRETTA is like 2.5 mg a week. Okay. Doc told you to go 1 mg a week. That's like really, really, really low. Now the fact that you are I mean, you're a great candidate because you're you're if you're 43, you're 5 11, 1 85 at 10%. 10% means we can see your abs. Right? You are in damn good shape. Right? You can do 1 it might actually be pretty good. Maybe 1 mg twice a week. Yeah.
56:08Speaker 2It
56:09Speaker 2might just do exactly what you need it to do.
56:12Speaker 2Okay? Your testosterone
56:14Speaker 2obviously is high. I mean, and bro, you're trying to lose weight or look even more chiseled that high estrogen is just going to kill that. You're going be thinking.
56:23Speaker 2Yeah. And maybe, like you said, with these blood tests, like, I don't know if you are feeling any of those symptoms that I just said, if you're not feeling any symptoms,
56:32Speaker 2it don't matter. I mean, maybe it doesn't even matter because you're not I mean, but
56:37Speaker 2if you are feeling symptoms, you've got to do something about that estrogen immediately. Immediately.
56:41Speaker 275 is definitely high. I mean, it's definitely like you're probably if you're gynoprone, you're definitely getting gyno. And hopefully you're not just like, damn, I can't get leaner. I gotta take more supplements. And all it is is just lot of retention that you're making that's making you look like a little bit plumper that you don't wanna be, and it would have just been fixed
56:57Speaker 2taking,
56:57Speaker 2you know,
56:59Speaker 2a milligram of Anastrozil 3 to 3 times a week. For you, I don't know. I probably started like
57:04Speaker 21 meg 3 times a week. Let's see what that does. That might just drop it.
57:09Speaker 2And then you incrementally
57:10Speaker 2by 0.5 a milligram a week,
57:12Speaker 2it down. And then your goal is to take as little as possible when having,
57:17Speaker 2seeing, feeling no side effects. Okay.
57:20Speaker 2And
57:21Speaker 2there you are.
57:23Speaker 1Any peptides that help with energy that you would get from taking- Vyvanse. Vyvanse
57:29Speaker 2or Adderall?
57:31Speaker 1Any peptides that help with energy that you would get from taking Vyvanse or Adderall?
57:36Speaker 2Not really. I mean, nothing's that good. So,
57:39Speaker 1I mean, I don't know. It's not a peptide, but modafinil is rad. We've
57:43Speaker 1never really even to talk about that on this
57:47Speaker 1this Modafinil
57:48Speaker 2is the
57:50Speaker 2pharmaceutical
57:51Speaker 2like prescription only smart pill.
57:54Speaker 2They call it the limitless pill. Limitless pill, right? Like it is AKA
57:58Speaker 2like non narcotic Adderall. Yeah.
58:02Speaker 2It does give you energy, but it doesn't give you it doesn't make you, like, kind of cracked out feeling that that a that a actual,
58:09Speaker 2amphetamine,
58:10Speaker 2like what these are, will do to you. But peptides,
58:13Speaker 2Cmax.
58:14Speaker 2So Cmax is gonna give you give you energy.
58:18Speaker 2Tesofensine
58:19Speaker 2is not a peptide either, but In the brain. That
58:22Speaker 2gives me good energy without,
58:25Speaker 2you know, feeling like too much like those 2.
58:29Speaker 2PE 22 28,
58:31Speaker 2it's more of like an antidepressant, but it's gonna give you energy and happiness. Yeah.
58:36Speaker 1Yeah. There's gonna be none that, like, kinda hold up to Adderall. Yeah. There's gonna be some that it like you know? And again, like, some of it's contingent on how your, how your body is, like your mitochondria and things like that. Like NAD
58:48Speaker 1is known for some people to give energy. I feel like it does whether it does not, I feel like it does. So it works for me. And I've said it numerous times, I take it at 02:00.
58:58Speaker 1And that has worked for me. I do take the Medaffinil before every podcast, unless I forget.
59:03Speaker 1But it's a little quick side note of funny story about Medaffinil when Will and I
59:09Speaker 1started working together about a year ago, give or take, I had never heard of it. So he was saying, this. And I took a, took 1 and
59:16Speaker 1I think it took 1 the next day and I was super freaking focused. I didn't really realize that that was how well it worked. And I was like, man, I am just on fire today, maybe. And I'm just like, dude, dude, dude, like, just feel like I can work in and like, it was like 06:30 and I should be going home, but I like, I was just in it. And he, and he's a little, would you take that? I'm like, He's like, that's what it was. You remember that? I'm like,
59:37Speaker 1oh man. No. But if you do take it though too much, it doesn't. Now it's not habit for me because if you take it too too much, it stops working. So I take 1 before a podcast. I know that you get more focused.
59:50Speaker 1I don't have to be an avid-4A guy, but I hear that you have razor focus, so I don't know if you could compare it, but I get super focused
59:57Speaker 1on Minafonelle and it's not habit forming. So try it. Yeah. It's not like there's no euphoria.
1:00:02Speaker 2Yeah. You don't feel energy. You don't feel Overall, there is low euphoria. So, like, that's why it makes it addictive
1:00:08Speaker 2drug. Right? It's amphetamines.
1:00:10Speaker 2Right? This stuff, like, really isn't
1:00:13Speaker 2isn't
1:00:14Speaker 2addictive.
1:00:15Speaker 2I've known less people who get addicted to everything. I do too. And I'll take my nap and I'll be like, meh. You're here. I'll tell you that I can stop. But, like, usually, everything I take, if it's makes me feel a little bit great. Yeah. Like, I'm in all day long. So I don't get addicted to that. So No judgment.
1:00:31Speaker 2Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's
1:00:34Speaker 2Not really. There's some tangents going to know. Not really, but you could get some But what I said is your best bets. Yeah. I hope I'm not forgetting something out there. Alright.

1:01:03Speaker 2Sorry.
1:01:03Speaker 2Off the top of my head, no, but we can DM you. We we probably do.
1:01:08Speaker 2Okay. We will, we will send you a DM with some
1:01:12Speaker 2ideas. Okay? Some referrals. Okay.
1:01:15Speaker 2I'll read this. So love the pod
1:01:17Speaker 2warriors. I'm learning a lot and getting valuable clinical insights from your experiences. Yep. I'm tapering off a successful Retta run. I shed 20 pounds while maintaining lean muscle. Good for you. My biomarkers are greatly improved.
1:01:30Speaker 2How do you suggest a taper off? I'm considering reducing 1.25
1:01:34Speaker 2mg each
1:01:36Speaker 2week for 4 weeks and then gradually adding a SLUIP and Tesofensine in the last 2 weeks. Thoughts? I couldn't,
1:01:43Speaker 2I couldn't
1:01:45Speaker 2give you any better advice. Like, that's perfect. So the Tesofensine is really good because that's gonna help a lot of people get off of any of these GLP-1s and maybe
1:01:53Speaker 2too much appetite
1:01:55Speaker 2comes back. And Tesofensine is gonna be a great little step down.
1:01:59Speaker 2And it's also metabolic.
1:02:02Speaker 2So is SLU-4four
1:02:05Speaker 2various reasons. So, yeah, bro, I would do that. And don't feel bad. Let's say
1:02:11Speaker 2let's say, like, it's okay if you step down and then, damn, you're getting maybe a rush of hunger and not quite like it. Like, it's okay. Hey. Just maybe ride that up. Maybe stay at that that dose for a couple weeks and then continue with your taper. Okay? Don't be so rigid. Listen to your body.
1:02:27Speaker 2You know?
1:02:28Speaker 2But other than that, dude,
1:02:29Speaker 2yeah, I had no good sounds like you've, you have thought through it. And
1:02:34Speaker 1that's absolutely what I would do. 5 Yeah. I mean, I don't have anything much more. I don't take Tesofensine. I don't personally
1:02:39Speaker 1like it, but a lot of people do and they do compare
1:02:44Speaker 1it to a GLP-one in regards to appetite suppression.
1:02:47Speaker 2There's also pegrelinotide
1:02:49Speaker 2that is just an appetite suppressant.
1:02:52Speaker 2Some people even use like Naltrexone.
1:02:55Speaker 2Naltrexone,
1:02:56Speaker 2anybody who's ever been in the program or had a drug problem, right, is meant to
1:03:00Speaker 2it's a, like an opiate blocker is actually made for alcoholics because they work on the same receptors in the brain,
1:03:07Speaker 2but it helps with cravings.
1:03:09Speaker 2K. Mostly used for drugs and alcohol, but applies to food.
1:03:13Speaker 2So
1:03:15Speaker 2not saying I just, that is it. Some people take that. Okay. Good stuff. You're up. Right. 2 bar question. Number 1,
1:03:23Speaker 1what are your thoughts on peptide blends versus stacking them individually?
1:03:28Speaker 1Great question. How does reconstitution
1:03:31Speaker 1and dosing work specifically
1:03:33Speaker 1when,
1:03:34Speaker 1there are different amounts of the peptides in the vial? Thanks again for the great content.
1:03:38Speaker 1This is definitely up your alley though.
1:03:42Speaker 1Well, them. I don't know. Tell what
1:03:44Speaker 2you think.
1:03:47Speaker 1I can, the best way that I can answer it is I can answer it in many different ways, but it's
1:03:53Speaker 1my experience with myself
1:03:55Speaker 1for a long time. Would have said taking the BPC-one
1:03:58Speaker 1hundred 57
1:03:59Speaker 1separately and the TB-five hundred separately was the best way to do it. And I believed it at the time until the Wolverine did come out. We had read about it for a while and read some different things on how it worked and blah, blah, blah.
1:04:11Speaker 1Because I read some negative things about the blend,
1:04:14Speaker 1I kind of had that perspective
1:04:17Speaker 1going into the, when I used it. So,
1:04:20Speaker 1but when I got, I had a shoulder injury forever
1:04:24Speaker 1where I could not raise my hand, my arm above my head. But when the Wolverine came and we got it, I took
1:04:31Speaker 1it, I used it, and it was freaking
1:04:33Speaker 1amazing. I'm not kidding. 3 days I
1:04:37Speaker 1was like, oh my God, I'd not raised my arm, my shoulder forever. And I had taken TB and BPC separately. So not saying the blend was like magic, but it worked for me. And then when I had the surgery,
1:04:49Speaker 1instead of taking them separate, I used the Wolverine in very high doses,
1:04:55Speaker 1because I was told by someone we respect heavily that knows a lot about this stuff and,
1:05:01Speaker 1it freaking worked. So
1:05:03Speaker 1that's how I'll answer it. I think the blends are great. I know, you know, Doctor. Trevor and goes like that, I go on and on and on and off, and I'm not knocking him or not. Don't care. I think he's great. But he says the blends suck. I think the blends are great. I think they're awesome. I think that they're cheaper and you can get a lot from them.
1:05:19Speaker 1So I'm a fan of the blends. I think they work amazing. And the people that say that they don't,
1:05:25Speaker 1I don't really agree with that. So blends are great. Yeah. We have asked and some different chemists
1:05:31Speaker 2and
1:05:33Speaker 2people,
1:05:34Speaker 2who's
1:05:35Speaker 2devoted their lives to the science of peptides and said, what's that? And he said, bro, like, yeah,
1:05:42Speaker 1okay. There's
1:05:43Speaker 2a pH, there might cause a slight pH balance. There might be a pH balance between those. Like, this is, is the problem too, again, like on research,
1:05:52Speaker 1right? Even
1:05:53Speaker 2How it reads. Yeah. Yeah. And this
1:05:56Speaker 2cool.
1:05:57Speaker 2Under a microscope,
1:05:58Speaker 2under, you know, under the right conditions, if you have a tiny little bit of this, tiny little bit that, it may
1:06:03Speaker 2negate each other, but he's like, in real life, that difference that it's actually making is like
1:06:09Speaker 2non measurable. That is there's
1:06:12Speaker 2no, no, they will work just fine, just the same. Right? Maybe 1.0 1%.
1:06:18Speaker 2Right.
1:06:19Speaker 2Less effective.
1:06:20Speaker 2Okay. So
1:06:22Speaker 2so there's that. But the same thing with, I don't know, all these new there's a whole bunch of new peptides and like even supplements,
1:06:29Speaker 2a lot of the over the counter supplements and you read up on them.
1:06:33Speaker 2You're like, oh my goodness. Look at that. That's just amazing. Right? Like reality.
1:06:38Speaker 2But under a microscope, we could see the cell doing that, but it translating
1:06:42Speaker 2to a real human being and all yeah,
1:06:45Speaker 2sorry. Point different. Like, it doesn't I mean, and just look at a whole bunch of these GNC
1:06:50Speaker 2supplements there
1:06:52Speaker 2and take Anybody go there? See if it did what it said it was gonna do on paper. No. So as far as the the the mixing,
1:06:58Speaker 2I don't know what to tell you, I guess, because there's different blends and I can't really say this is exactly how you're doing it. Let's let's talk about everything on blend, but here's, so for example, how about the glow?
1:07:09Speaker 2Okay. Most glows, the ones I know are 10 mg BPC,
1:07:14Speaker 210
1:07:15Speaker 2mgs of
1:07:17Speaker 2TB 550
1:07:19Speaker 2migs of GHKCU.
1:07:21Speaker 2Okay. So like yeah.
1:07:23Speaker 2And these are usually full size and knowing
1:07:26Speaker 2that you're that they have to be blended. So they're not gonna put in 1000 mg of GHKCu
1:07:32Speaker 2and then make it impossible for you to add 1 amount of water and then like, well, I can't possibly take that much. Right? Do it. Blends are made with in the same mind where you put the same amount of water in, now you're taking a correct dose.
1:07:43Speaker 2But I generally is gonna am gonna put 20 or put 2 mls of water in. Here's how the math works in my brain. I go up.
1:07:52Speaker 2This doesn't work for everybody, but you got 10 mgs, we have 10 mgs, we have 50 mgs. Okay? I put 2 mils of water. How my brain works is I know that
1:08:02Speaker 2in 2 mils, 2 mils, and 1 mil is 1 insulin syringe, and that is labeled 1 through a 100.
1:08:09Speaker 2Right. But it also has 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Right? So there are 10
1:08:15Speaker 2intervals of tens in 1. Okay. Well, 2, there's gonna be 20. So I take the milligram. I got 10 mg and I divide that by
1:08:23Speaker 220. That will tell me how many milligrams is in 10 units.
1:08:28Speaker 2So that would give me 0.5. So I would add 2 mils. That would give me 0.5
1:08:33Speaker 2mg of BPC, 0.5
1:08:35Speaker 2mg of TB-five hundred and 2.5
1:08:39Speaker 2mg of GHK-
1:08:41Speaker 2So again, I did 50 divided by 20, 10 divided by 20, 10 divided by 20 Frank. And that is about, that's about the low dose that you want.
1:08:52Speaker 2Would say a higher dose of GHK CU is 5 mg.
1:08:56Speaker 2So I wouldn't do on that 1 specifically. If you wanna add 2 mils of water,
1:09:01Speaker 2I wouldn't do any more than 20 units. 10 units will give you 0.5, 0.5, 2.5, 20 units will give you 1 mg, 1 mg, and 5 mg.
1:09:10Speaker 2The problem there is you don't really want do more GHK-three
1:09:14Speaker 2if you didn't have the glow, didn't have GHK-three
1:09:16Speaker 2Shoot, run it, like get take up to shit.
1:09:20Speaker 2I mean, I think 2 mg per injection of BPC and TB 500 is great. So like if you have the Wolverine blend 10 10,
1:09:27Speaker 2they're that. If you have the 30 mg Wolverine, 30 mg of BPC, 30 Migs of TB-five hundred. Okay. I would make the math easy. You got 30, 30. Let's add 3 mils of water. Right? That makes everything kind of work out really easy. So just following along with this with my calculator here.
1:09:49Speaker 2So I did it sufficiently. If you have 30 mg,
1:09:52Speaker 2you divide it by how many 10 how many sets of 10 or in 3? 3 mils? Well, there's
1:09:58Speaker 230.
1:09:59Speaker 2So 30 divided by 30
1:10:03Speaker 2is 1. In 10,
1:10:05Speaker 2you will get 1 mg
1:10:07Speaker 2of the drug of both
1:10:09Speaker 2BPC and TB. Perfect. Easy math. Yeah.
1:10:14Speaker 2So
1:10:15Speaker 2I don't know. Some people I tell it to and they're like lost. I don't know. The difference would be Everybody's brain just works differently. Sorry. That's how I do quick math. I don't know. Might be wrong.
1:10:25Speaker 1Get it. I've watched him break these down
1:10:27Speaker 2for a long time. He's good at it. But it works. You're good. I guess I have a way. You're good at it. I don't if that helped at all, but yeah. Oh, yeah. There's calculators. Yeah. And I still use a calculator just to be sure. True that. Okay. That's Big dog. Okay. Hey, guys.
1:10:41Speaker 2I love the content you provide for the community.
1:10:44Speaker 2My question is simple. Can you help shed light on peptides for endurance athletes?
1:10:49Speaker 2Now with that, I'll give you my background. I'm 5 8, 1 90, 10 percent body fat. Right? Used to be a power lifter, but changed lifestyle for longevity.
1:10:57Speaker 2Started running this year, dropped 25 pounds, and completed 1.5 marathons the past 6 weeks to cap off 20 25. Damn. How do your knees feel? Shin. Run 3 times a week and,
1:11:09Speaker 2lift 3 times a week. Push pull legs.
1:11:12Speaker 2My main focus isn't fat loss. It's increasing my endurance and ability to run while not compromising my strength.
1:11:19Speaker 2Have, I have to have fuel to run 25 to 30 miles in a week. Yeah. Hybrid
1:11:25Speaker 2athlete is what I guess is what
1:11:41Speaker 23 3 2 is gonna be your, like, number 1 kick ass wander and do and yeah. Take that. K? Cargarine,
1:11:50Speaker 2not a peptide.
1:11:52Speaker 1Yeah. But kicks ass for endurance. Just like a peptide. It's kind of gross.
1:11:56Speaker 2It's
1:11:58Speaker 2I mean, I don't know, but sloops awesome.
1:12:01Speaker 2As an endurance athlete, I don't know if it's me, maybe I'm 2 50 and I've ran a lot, but like, damn dude running,
1:12:07Speaker 2I'm hurting. If I do, if I run consistently, especially like on concrete,
1:12:12Speaker 2I'm gonna be hurting. So I will need the Wolverine blend.
1:12:15Speaker 2Yeah. Sure. There's definitely, you might wanna heal yourself. Right? You're gonna get some serious plus any secretagogue.
1:12:20Speaker 2Right? That is gonna help increase your bone
1:12:24Speaker 2density if you get shin splints. Right? It'll help recovery of everything.
1:12:29Speaker 2That's not,
1:12:30Speaker 2you know, direct
1:12:31Speaker 2in endurance,
1:12:33Speaker 2but it'll help you
1:12:35Speaker 2keep competing a little bit longer. And testosterone,
1:12:39Speaker 2just not too much. Not too much at all. Right? You do not there's a reason I don't know. People will argue with this, but, like,
1:12:45Speaker 2you can't be a good
1:12:47Speaker 2NBA player, even NFL player,
1:12:50Speaker 2any of these really endurance heavy sports. You're not doing much steroids. K? People say, oh, yeah, they are. No. They're not.
1:12:56Speaker 2Sorry. I've I've been there. I've known them. I played there, not in the NFL, but I played in high level college. Like, it's not an accept maybe bay baseball? Yes.
1:13:05Speaker 2Golf would be awesome. But,
1:13:07Speaker 2dude, it's just your heart just goes to shit. Your endurance goes to shit. Your muscle you you're you're too strong. Yeah. Yeah. Throw it. You're too strong. You tear all your muscles down. Your tendons your tendons tear. I think I was on gear when I was getting hurt. Absolutely. You're always getting hurt. So for an endurance athlete, like, cool. You can do tests. It's not very much. K. Shit.
1:13:24Speaker 1That's about, I think, all I got right now. Yeah. Those are good. I won't say the same slew. I will just be redundant on that 1 because I think that is gonna be the best 1, but a couple that you didn't, that I I I suggested would be a couple of the mitochondria where it's gonna be fat oxidation would be the 2 we love. Then I know that you, when I say this, you're going know already, it's going to be the MOTS-3.0
1:13:44Speaker 1and the SS-31.
1:13:45Speaker 1So adding those onto what he said would be great because it's going to help with the
1:13:50Speaker 1mitochondria,
1:13:51Speaker 1it's going to help with fat oxidation and it's just gonna get help with the endurance. And if I'm assuming you know what fat oxidation is, your body's using the fat and burning the fat. Why do people do a ketogenic diet or a carnivore type diet?
1:14:04Speaker 1Now, there are few people that would fight against this, obviously, because I've heard them, but like
1:14:08Speaker 2when you're using fat as a fuel, it's a more sustainable fuel. So you don't have these, you know, it's a sustainable fuel. So when you're using the fat as your energy, gonna give you more gas. Oh, yeah, I wanna add something to history. The Mongolian, the Mongol army, right, like back in ancient times, they kicked everybody's ass. Right? 1 of their biggest things, why they kicked so much ass is they didn't have they didn't have a bunch of servants carrying all their grain and all this bullshit. You know what they did? Ate meat. Meat They and they eat a lot of fat. So they all, and they could just ride lean,
1:14:39Speaker 2not carrying a bunch of stuff and were fueled and had a whole bunch of energy that sustained shit out of them. And they could have been eating for a while.
1:14:47Speaker 2This giant, like Chinese army.
1:14:50Speaker 1Yeah. Because they were on a ketogenic diet. You know that what they would do, this is a lot of people don't know this is they would, melt fat and drink it as coffee.
1:14:58Speaker 2Yep. There you go. So we knew they knew that that was energy. It was pure energy. You're drinking fat. Yep. They could make they had cows that they would just yank with them for
1:15:08Speaker 2for milk, you know, not the males.
1:15:12Speaker 1So it's it's, I mean, everything's gonna be a matter of opinion, what you do. Will and I are such advocates for the fact where,
1:15:19Speaker 1you know, do you figure out what works for you? You know, I think most people at this point know I'm a high fat guy. I love it. I love running on fat, but it's not for everybody. Some people don't, like, there's a lot of people that track macros, a lot of people for the glucose, blah, blah, blah. But so final works for you. I think that, we answered that, but, that was that was great, man. Think The other reason for the ketogenic or the other reason for the secretagogs, brother, this is what you said. It's like, you're burning a ton of calories.
1:15:44Speaker 2You don't your biggest goal is not burn fat is to not lose muscle. So secretagogues
1:15:49Speaker 2or real HGH, dude. Especially if you're It's what's gonna protect your muscle. Absolutely.
1:15:53Speaker 1Cool, man. I hope you guys enjoyed that. Now hope you enjoyed.
1:15:58Speaker 1I hope you enjoyed the last 1 with Doctor. Scott. We are going to have
1:16:02Speaker 1Doctor. Tyler on here fairly soon too in the next week or so. We would love some comments. We would love some comments for you guys that saw that. Do you enjoy having the doctors on? We did. We would like to have more on maybe once a month. I think we're gonna do that. And so give us some feedback. We will always ask for the feedback. How did you like it? And give us some subjects
1:16:23Speaker 1that are within the realm of what we do, peptides, testosterone replacement.
1:16:27Speaker 1We've talked about maybe doing, talking about the different proteins,
1:16:32Speaker 1things like that. Is that of something of interest? I think it is because a lot of people ask about that. So we're anything within the realm, it's a peptide podcast, but anything in the realm of that, we would like to hear if you guys would like us to talk about that.
1:16:44Speaker 1Other than that, anything else?
1:16:45Speaker 1That's it. Alright, guys. We'll catch you in next round. Later.
