0:03Speaker 00 sugar, and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade electrolytes.
0:24Speaker 1Welcome back to the peptide of the week podcast.
0:28Speaker 1I'm your host, JD Denham. Cross way, my buddy, William T. Haws. What's up, dude?
0:34Speaker 2What day is it? It's cold. It's a rainy day. I know. It's been raining yesterday. This year, dude. Has it? No. I don't really I don't feel like it is. I remember about 2 springs ago, it was rainy here. It's been raining a lot. But okay. But, I mean, shit. We just went through, what, like, 3 weeks of, like, 80 degree weather in January and February. So,
0:54Speaker 2yeah, it's rainy right now. A little cold. It's cold. Where else is cold? My office is hot. Yeah.
1:00Speaker 2You guys get cold, I get hot. Yeah. I'm cold. Now I have a sweatshirt on and I'm starting to get hot. Yeah.
1:06Speaker 1It's been cool though, man. It's been definitely cool.
1:10Speaker 1So we're doing the Q and A episode today, which, you know, I say this often, but if you're new, it's our favorite just because we get to touch the people. We get a little feel of the people that listen, man. So we,
1:22Speaker 1maybe 3 weeks ago,
1:24Speaker 13 episodes ago, Will and I changed the format, at least for us, we would generally sit down really quickly, read through them and just to make sure, like, and then we would do the podcast. Now we do them separately, reread them so that we don't share the answers. You're gonna have answers that are my answers, answers that are here his answers because we don't want to Mhmm. Kind of piggyback off each other, even though a lot of times we're gonna agree. Yeah. Sometimes we won't, and that's good. Because even just even us saying, here's what I think, here's what you think, we start to Yeah. Mold our answer. Right. Oh, that makes sense. Maybe I'll include that in my answer, and then that's not really real. Then we just don't give any individual opinions. Right. Right? So
2:02Speaker 1And we are very different, if you haven't noticed. Very different. That's what make us makes us I think that's what makes the podcast
2:09Speaker 1work well because we're different people. You're very different. I'm very different. And
2:14Speaker 1Yeah. That's it, man. Yeah. I think it would be boring if we were the same. It would be boring. Why have 2 people? Yeah. The same.
2:20Speaker 2They're the same. Both both good looking, though. Both good. Am allowed to say that? Yes. You know what's funny? Funniest joke in
2:27Speaker 2in my life. Like, I, you know, I've been to well, met a lot of people and the people who are
2:33Speaker 2who I actually like not maybe not like the most, but I'm most interested in talking to
2:38Speaker 2usually are people who are opposite me.
2:41Speaker 2Interesting. Let's say I go move into a sober living. Right? And there's a guy who's like, why? Curious.
2:46Speaker 2It's interesting. Because I already know me. Like, I don't really I'm not that interested in another,
2:53Speaker 2like, gym bro that's similar to me. That's funny. That's interesting. But they but they but they like me. I just know this because I've been in a lot of, like, sober livings or new teams, whatever. Right? Where you're meeting all these new people, the people who are attracted to me, but I kind of really like when I go into a sober living. Like, I really like this super nerdy kid who
3:11Speaker 2who likes something completely opposite. Yeah. A little bit stuff. Don't know. Because I'm curious about himself. Yeah. I just wanna as long as he has something to say. As long as he's, like, not just introverted?
3:22Speaker 2Yeah. Yeah. As long as he's just not nerdy about
3:25Speaker 2nothing.
3:26Speaker 1You know? He knows, I don't know, something all about science where he's an engineer. I'm like, alright, dude. That's cool. Tell me about that, dude. And this is not a pat myself on the back or think I'm something. That's but I always feel bad for those kids sitting alone, dude. Don't know. Gonna sit by them. I'd try
3:40Speaker 1to pass that on to my boys, man. Yeah. I mean, they're a little young for that, but I'm gonna say, dude, go sit by that kid, dude. Yeah. What are you about to lose? Because you're cool. Everybody likes you. I mean, in high school, like I never was a bully and that was never actually okay. Like that was not a cool thing to do. Yeah.
3:55Speaker 1And my gig. No.
3:57Speaker 2Because what the hell? I mean, life has been good to me.
4:01Speaker 2And,
4:02Speaker 2yeah, some people are not right? I don't know. Yeah. Not to pat myself on the back, but some just whatever. That's easy. Yeah. That's easy. That, like, are easy that God gave me that was that was helpful in life, and not everybody has that. So do that.
4:15Speaker 1Do what you can, man. Do what you can. But
4:18Speaker 1we are here. We're gonna talk about the Q and A, man. Really quickly,
4:23Speaker 1we love the fact of you just the comments we get from you guys. I know I say it often, but I want you to understand just how it moves us. We get a lot of hate mail too,
4:32Speaker 1which comes with the territory. When you open up your world to social media, you are subjected to a lot of hate mail, to speak, and like you have to have thick skin. Thank God I do. You don't have to read it as much because you don't read the key stuff. But
4:46Speaker 1so when we get the comments that are flattering and just we can tell they're genuine, they mean a lot to us. They really do. So we appreciate all of you guys. So as always, you kick us off because you always do. Why why stray from ours working? Right. Alright. So number 1, here we go.
5:02Speaker 2I started Semax a couple weeks ago, and I feel very motivated and productive using it. Does Semax help long term brain health, or is it just short acting
5:12Speaker 2while cycling this? Same question with Selank. I just ordered this,
5:16Speaker 2so I haven't started it yet. But will this help long term brain health or just while running a cycle? Also, since Selank helps calm anxiety,
5:26Speaker 2should this be taken in the evening or in the morning?
5:29Speaker 2Thank you.
5:31Speaker 1Alright. Good. It's a matter of an opinion on this completely? I mean, we've said it countless times, we're not doctors, but I didn't even know if doctors would know how to answer this anyway, because we're talking about peptides here.
5:41Speaker 1So I'm going to answer it how I generally try to just be logical and subjective to just kind of what makes sense. Like, for example,
5:49Speaker 1if 1 peptide that everybody knows is going to be BPC-one hundred 57 or in a TB or the blood, right? So if you have an injury,
5:57Speaker 1let's go like this. If you have an injury
5:59Speaker 1and you are using that and you stop,
6:04Speaker 1it's gonna heal it probably a little bit, but you should continue
6:08Speaker 1on
6:09Speaker 1using it. It's gonna work a lot better. So that's my opinion. Do I think it can repair
6:14Speaker 1in longevity?
6:15Speaker 1Sure.
6:16Speaker 1Do I think it will? Probably not. I think that you're going to get the best oomph from it if you continue on or at least cycle it over and over and over again. So, again, I think that's going be a matter of an opinion on this. I don't think anybody fully, fully knows, but I just try to use logic when I think through these types of answers. And that would make be logical to me. When it comes to the Selank,
6:39Speaker 1I would take it in the morning, personally. You know, I've ran some cycles of this. I take them together.
6:47Speaker 1I'm not somebody who's hugely
6:49Speaker 1anxiety ridden, but I think they go together well. So I run them together and I always take them in the morning. They've worked well for me. So I think you could get away with it either way. I choose the morning. That's my take. K. Yeah. They
7:03Speaker 2are known to so Selank and Semax are known to, right, increase your BDNF, brain derived nootrophic factor.
7:12Speaker 2Also, really support, like, brain elasticity,
7:16Speaker 2learning,
7:17Speaker 2resilience,
7:18Speaker 2okay, while you're on. And those all of those things make a healthier
7:23Speaker 2brain in longevity.
7:25Speaker 2Sure. So, yeah, it's gonna work a whole lot. You're not gonna take it now and, like, then be on that higher plane forever. Right? But
7:33Speaker 2but I would say that, absolutely, they, for sure,
7:37Speaker 2will make your brain better than than they than they left it. You know I mean? Like, how much of that? We don't really know. Long term, we don't really know. Most of the 1st of they haven't been around that long term.
7:48Speaker 2All of the data is in Russia.
7:51Speaker 1Those Russians, they've been taking a long time. They've taking this stuff long time. These 2 in particular. Specifically, these 2.
7:56Speaker 2And so we don't really have long term data plus most of the data that isn't even long term is in Russia, and we don't really know about it right now. The
8:04Speaker 2last
8:05Speaker 2thing is okay. Yeah. Right. I know we we actually spoke to a woman who is competing in powerlifting. And the 1st event that she did,
8:15Speaker 2she was really nervous, and that hurt her powerlifting. So the 2nd event, she took a bunch of Selank before that.
8:21Speaker 2Did not to try to calm the nerves. Right? But you take too much or you take it to the wrong time.
8:26Speaker 2I would not take it before a big needing to perform athletic event because
8:31Speaker 2it's gonna do more to slow you down. Right? And so she said that time did not it didn't turn out well either because
8:38Speaker 2it slowed What are talking about?
8:41Speaker 2Remember the guy who came in with his girlfriend
8:44Speaker 2and he did he taught people how to build credit, build business credit. Right? That
8:50Speaker 2that girl, his girlfriend. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So So she took it and said, yeah. You may not wanna take it. So it basically slowed her down a little too much for her athletic competition. I think that But that's we're talking if you're doing high level athletic competition and women are sitting And I think she told told us she took quite a bit.
9:05Speaker 2It's a little too much. I don't know, bro. It I think that 1 depends on how if you have, like, crazy anxiety and it's affecting you during the day, then take it during the day. Right? Absolutely. If you wanted to just relax at night and help, like, you know, maybe go to sleep better, get your brain in tune for that, then take it in at night.
9:24Speaker 2I would also take DSIP. Right? That that that too can be taken during the day because it just
9:30Speaker 2several neurotransmitters,
9:31Speaker 2it just calms down. So put your brain in that mode to be able to sleep. Yep. It doesn't just knock you out and make you drool all over yourself. Makes sleepy. Yeah.
9:39Speaker 2But but that is, you know,
9:42Speaker 2I don't know. It depends depends on who you are and, what you're using it for. Also, these are good in combination.
9:49Speaker 2Right? It may you would think
9:52Speaker 2Semax is a is a upper. Selank is pulling you down. So they're just gonna cancel each other out, but that's not actually the case. Yeah. They really complement each other when taken together. True. So good
10:03Speaker 2for you. Go get it and try that.
10:06Speaker 1Think the cool thing about like the Semax, the Selank where we were talking about the Russians have been studying it forever and using it. They have used it as antidepressants
10:15Speaker 1for a long time, which that's awesome. Yeah. Instead of like our A really interesting. Yeah.
10:21Speaker 1That's rad. Mhmm. I think that's always found that very interesting
10:24Speaker 2instead of blasting kids with antidepressants. Well, for sure. I mean, kids too. Like, you get I mean, the suicide rates with on antidepressants on with kids, like They're always on antidepressants. They they Yeah.
10:35Speaker 2But the the suicide rates are crazy. Like,
10:39Speaker 2putting somebody on Zoloft, etcetera. Yeah. Not good for for adolescents.
10:44Speaker 1Yep. Oh, man. I remember we luckily had to deal with any of that stuff, but man,
10:49Speaker 1you know, a lot of people do. Mhmm. Alright. Number 2, thanks for everything you do, team. I love it. I really appreciate how authentic you are and how you don't hide who you are. Awesome. Thanks,
10:59Speaker 1Seeing how important family and faith are to you both is a big part of why I'm on the health journey myself. How rad is that? A bit about me. I'm 38, six'four,
11:10Speaker 1currently 300 pounds down from 3 45.
11:14Speaker 1Ovation.
11:15Speaker 1Good job. I used to compete in powerlifting,
11:19Speaker 1but had to stop after a serious back injury during
11:22Speaker 1contest prep. Bet about
11:24Speaker 16 months ago, I got my hormones optimized. My total T went from 110
11:30Speaker 1to over 1100.
11:33Speaker 1Good for you, man. You probably feel like a new person. My labs are finally looking great. I feel like a different person. My goal is to get 15% body fat. A recent DEXA scan showed I have
11:47Speaker 12 30 pounds of lean mass. I'm training
11:51Speaker 14 days a week and consistently hitting 25 grams of protein daily,
11:58Speaker 1which is going really well. Current protocol,
12:00Speaker 1200
12:02Speaker 1of testosterone cypinate pinned every other day,
12:06Speaker 1plus 5 mg of Retatrutide
12:09Speaker 1weekly.
12:10Speaker 1The past, I did not care about being lean, only strong.
12:15Speaker 1I'm new to this type of fitness. I love to keep adding muscle while dropping another 50 pounds of fat. If budget weren't a concern,
12:24Speaker 1what compound stack
12:26Speaker 1and or specific lifts or training approach
12:30Speaker 1would you recommend to maximize recomp in my situation? Total hope to any execution. Thanks. What a great question. Yeah. Power lifters, man, those dudes ate a lot and lift a lot. That is a very unique way of training. So for you to switch, that's gotta be tough. That's gotta be tough. Tucking our ways because they like to be big and lift heavy shit. Yeah. Yeah. So you wanna take that 1 1st? You want me to run?
12:54Speaker 2Sure. I will.
12:56Speaker 2Okay. Right on. Good for you. Yeah. That's gonna be hard to I mean, shit. You got it, dude. At least at least you have the work ethic built in. Like, I mean, that's really the hard part.
13:05Speaker 2So you wanna keep getting lean. 1st of all, you did you said that you're eating 250
13:10Speaker 2grams. I think you said 25 grams. So 250,
13:14Speaker 2cool. As long as your protein is good protein sources, right, and it's not just kind of crap 250
13:21Speaker 2grams, like just drinking protein powder for all of those 250 grams. You know, we need real food
13:26Speaker 2and rich protein sources. So you wanna keep getting lean. I say you take 5 mg
13:34Speaker 2of Retta a week. That's great. I don't think you need any more. Hey,
13:37Speaker 2it sounds like you're taking it once a week. If you want,
13:40Speaker 2try it 3 times a week. Some people like it, some people don't. Yep. But if you notice you're a big dude, my guess is that starts you're if taking it once a week, it probably, like, stops working around Thursday. If
13:51Speaker 2that's the case, then split that 5 mix
13:53Speaker 23 times, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I would add I mean, frankly, like,
13:58Speaker 2I mean, it's kind of the same old thing. Like, you it's time to add some peptide fibers. Right?
14:03Speaker 2Sloop to help nutrient partitioning and endurance.
14:07Speaker 2Yeah. Especially nutrient partitioning, I would take
14:10Speaker 2AOD,
14:12Speaker 2to burn fat. Guess the biggest thing, but the 1st thing is you wanna lose fat, not muscle. So I would get on growth.
14:19Speaker 2Either HGH, low dose, like 2 I use a day, or the secretagog, Tesamorelin,
14:24Speaker 2and Ipamorelin blend. Yeah. For you, that'd be the best 1 because it's really trying to the Tesamorelin's gonna help burn body fat. And then SLU-3A
14:32Speaker 2OD
14:33Speaker 2to help shuttle that fat into the mitochondria.
14:38Speaker 25 amino 1 MQ. That's what I meant was shuttling the the fat in the mitochondria. It's 5 5 amino.
14:44Speaker 2So SLU-5Amino
14:45Speaker 2AOD on top of the Retta. Keep doing your test and maybe some secretagog.
14:50Speaker 2So, yeah, if money isn't an issue, that's what I would do.
14:55Speaker 2As far as the lifts, dude, I do think you need to
14:58Speaker 2still lift heavy, do compound lifts that you're used to,
15:02Speaker 2but with very little break in between. So we're not going for, like, to set records in the gym, but,
15:07Speaker 2like, we we want to preserve all of your muscle. Right? I don't want you just to do a bunch of cardio. Okay? Lifting like heavy, like 4 to 8 reps,
15:17Speaker 2but very little break in between. So as a power lifter, you're going 4 to 8 reps, maybe less, taking a 5 minute break. Let all the muscle come back and all the oxygen and everything come back in you. Then we can go lift as heavy as possible. Right? This time, push them hard, but wait 30 seconds. Do it again. In the absence of oxygen,
15:36Speaker 2calories are burnt.
15:40Speaker 1Dude, I A little bit of a Mike Mike Mitscher type type approach. You don't do as short as him, but Yeah. But I've always I've always thought about trying that, dude. But it's like, dude, I like to lift weights. 1 way to go for, like you'd, like, lift every 4 days. That's boring. Yeah. Yeah. No. Not that. Not that. I'm just saying, like, breast rest. So lift heavy? No. I know what you mean. But low breath. Yeah. Low rest in between. Yeah. Yeah. So you're just Still heavy. Ass off. But Yeah. You do. When you lift heavy, you sweat. When you don't lift heavy, you don't really sweat. You know what I'm Yeah. It's true. So I don't know. That it seems like
16:10Speaker 2you can add in any 1 of those. I think that I don't know. AOD
16:15Speaker 2is probably the 1st 1 I would add in, but I would definitely add in some growth to keep preserved muscle
16:21Speaker 2as you burn a bunch of fat.
16:23Speaker 1Yep. Okay. 230
16:25Speaker 2of lean muscles a ton. You should be able to burn fat pretty, pretty easily. And you've shown that already. Yeah. So he went from 3 45 down to 300. Did he say what he
16:35Speaker 2wants to get down to? He said he wants to lose 50 more pounds of Okay. Body
16:39Speaker 1So, yeah,
16:41Speaker 1Will said kind of some of the similar things that I'm gonna say, but I think that we sometimes share the same brain because we love all this stuff and fat burners are fat burners. I mean, AOD, in my opinion, is just, man, it is right under a, Reta. They run perfectly together.
16:56Speaker 1So
16:57Speaker 1we'll set it, but let me just kind of piggyback.
17:00Speaker 1Obviously, the Reta 5 megs is good. I don't think that you need to increase, like you said, maybe stretch it out, like you said, AOD in the morning,
17:07Speaker 1HGH in the morning, 2 I use for sure. Gosh, I hate to kinda keep using your sub 5 minutes. Here's where I'll change though.
17:15Speaker 1I will change, in midday NAD,
17:18Speaker 1I would say around 02:00,
17:20Speaker 1give you a little energy boost.
17:22Speaker 1And at nighttime,
17:24Speaker 1I will say GHKCU
17:26Speaker 1or what you could do is the glow
17:29Speaker 1and throw in the, you know, the TB-five
17:32Speaker 1100 and the BPC, because I know you're gonna be achy.
17:36Speaker 1That's just the way it is because you're getting 38 and you've lifted heavy.
17:40Speaker 1And Tesamorelin,
17:41Speaker 1Ipamorelin blend.
17:43Speaker 1So I think you should add that in as secretagoggin night. Will and I've
17:47Speaker 1dug into it more and more, and we continue to learn and evolve and change and opinions like viewpoints changed a little bit. You know, there's, we've talked about the HGH in the morning. Will it follow all the way through until nighttime? Will a secretagogue do maximize
18:01Speaker 1a secretagogue?
18:02Speaker 1Probably not,
18:04Speaker 1but it will still help.
18:05Speaker 1For you trying to burn fat, that Tesamorelin at night, I think is going to be great for you. Here's where I'll say a little bit different.
18:13Speaker 1I think you should try a lot of different exercises and see what fits for you. And it's tricking the body.
18:20Speaker 1I hit every muscle twice a week.
18:23Speaker 1I have a main muscle, so I'll hit chest and then either a bicep or a tricep. I switch it up.
18:30Speaker 1Obviously, shoulders and then traps,
18:33Speaker 1back and triceps,
18:36Speaker 1obviously legs and calves,
18:38Speaker 1but I do a main muscle heavy,
18:40Speaker 1and then I do a sub muscle a little bit lighter because that's not the main muscle. So that way I work out 6 days a week.
18:47Speaker 1I probably could get a little bit more, I think if I did have 2 rest days, but I don't, I like to work out. So,
18:53Speaker 1that's what I do and I get each muscle hit twice a week and that works well for me. I love it.
19:00Speaker 1Sometimes I do 12 reps and I'll do more of that. And sometimes I'll go heavy. Today, dude, I felt good. I got some good sleep in the last couple of days and I sleep like shit usually. Man, I hit heavy today. It felt great. Man, I just felt so good. I hit in my back so heavy. And then my subgroup was my biceps,
19:16Speaker 1so I did lighter, just slower on the biceps.
19:19Speaker 1So maybe try that. And I'm going to throw this in, in regards to what's
19:24Speaker 1your diet?
19:25Speaker 1I'm going to definitely say you're 38 years old. I think you should try to piggyback a little bit off on some fasting.
19:32Speaker 1You can be very simple and just
19:34Speaker 1try to do Monday through Friday,
19:38Speaker 1intermittent fasting,
19:39Speaker 1eat from 12 to 08:00,
19:42Speaker 1just 5 days a week, Saturday and Sunday,
19:44Speaker 1eat numerous meals or whatever. Just try it. See if it fits. If you need to change the times and if you're a person who likes to eat 1st thing in the morning, 6 to 2,
19:53Speaker 1I like to I can push it out, and I have found for me it works. I can push that sucker out as far as I once I have food, I just want more food. So figure out what's work works for you. But throw some fasting, man. You're getting 38, and at the very least,
20:04Speaker 1you're going to burn a lot of fat. You're gonna be if you get that 16 hour mark, you're gonna get into autophagy, dead cells die off.
20:11Speaker 1So try the fasting. I love it. And
20:15Speaker 0Propel fitness water with Gatorade electrolytes,
20:18Speaker 00 sugar, and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade electrolytes.
20:30Speaker 1It's 1 of my favorite things. So try that. Especially because you are you were 345
20:34Speaker 2pounds, and you were a power lifter. You were eating absolutely everything you could possibly see. Very different. So your liver internal organs, that did that does not make for a super healthy
20:43Speaker 2liver, and, like, it was constantly being used. Eating. Right? Like, damn. Give it a break. Fasting. 1 of the biggest things is why, like, it's biblical as someone said earlier this morning.
20:53Speaker 2Everybody in the ancient world knew, like, this is gonna be able to eat. Like, our finally, our liver gets to clean itself out. Right? So you've probably done some metabolic Digestion
21:03Speaker 2takes a break. And so exactly. Digestion takes a break. Like, fuck. Finally, to get 345 pounds to keep all that muscle, you didn't give it much breaks. So
21:12Speaker 2fasting 100%, I think, will do Google long long way. It's like you've been a power lifter and again,
21:18Speaker 1you know, we get stuck in our ways as humans. Like, we lift a certain way. We get stuck in that way. I'm not even that good at, like, always switching it because this is how I like to lift. But our body does better when we trick it. Right? So for you, you're probably so used to lifting those heavy weights. So for you to switch and change is probably pretty difficult, right? But we grow when we do difficult shit. So I think this is gonna be great. Check back with us, man. I wanted to see how you do, man. So Yeah. 45
21:44Speaker 2pounds. 45 pounds already. Valuation. Yeah. Make it 95.
21:49Speaker 2Okay. Number 3. Hey, guys. I've recently discovered the podcast and love it. I'm a newbie to peptide to the peptide world and have been on Reta for almost 4 weeks and love it. All caps. I'm a woman, 28 years old. I'm 5 7. Started at 216,
22:04Speaker 2and now I'm 2 12
22:06Speaker 2with my goal being 1 65.
22:08Speaker 2Okay. Wait. Yeah. Okay. 1 65. K. Sorry. I take 1 dose of 0.5
22:15Speaker 2mg every 6 days with my recent dose of 0.75
22:19Speaker 2mg.
22:20Speaker 2I feel all the things of appetite suppression and staying fuller longer on this small dose. I have 2 questions. Should I stay here at 0.75
22:28Speaker 2mgs, which is
22:30Speaker 2if that's right, that's a super duper small dose. Yeah. I was trying to figure out if that's right. Once a week or because of the significant amount I am looking to lose, should I titrate up to 1 mg next week? 2nd question is, I'm curious about KPV,
22:46Speaker 2Tessa IpA.
22:47Speaker 2Would any of these be a good thing or add? Should I just stick with Reta since I just started? Thank you and really, really appreciate you too. Okay. So I guess the 1st thing, like,
22:56Speaker 2I guess the general rule in the GLP is is
22:59Speaker 2you wanna take the lowest effective dose. Sure. K? So we don't want to just
23:06Speaker 2blow your tolerance out because you inevitably will build a tolerance. Okay? So you inevitably will need to slowly
23:12Speaker 2tie trade up.
23:14Speaker 2Essentially,
23:15Speaker 2hey, you want you want it to work. Right? And so it sure sounds like as far as Retta goes to, like, you're getting the benefits.
23:22Speaker 2Upping it now would potentially just increase side effects and not
23:26Speaker 2do much more.
23:28Speaker 2Although
23:29Speaker 2if 0.75
23:30Speaker 2of a milligram is your true is what you're taking, that's awfully low, right? Remember, like starting dose is 2.5
23:37Speaker 2mg a week,
23:40Speaker 2and you started at 0.65
23:43Speaker 2mg. So or 0.5
23:45Speaker 2every 6 days. So 0.5 mg. That's 0.5 a milligram. So
23:50Speaker 2let's make sure I don't know which Retta you have, but imagine if you had
23:54Speaker 210 mg Retta, you added 1 mil of water. Okay.
23:58Speaker 2Then 10 units 10 units would be a full milligram.
24:03Speaker 2So are you taking 5
24:05Speaker 2point are you taking 5 units
24:07Speaker 2once a week? Is that where you started? Under the 1st little line? Right. That's a little bit. Nothing.
24:13Speaker 2Which is 0.05 of a milligram. Yeah. I think that's what she's taking. But if that's what you're taking and it's working,
24:19Speaker 2so there that's all I can say is there's the rules. Like, I still
24:23Speaker 2if you told me that it wasn't working as good, I would say, yes, bump up.
24:27Speaker 2I would also say, I don't know. Generally, here's the we generally I would say start. I tell people to do this, my friends,
24:36Speaker 2to start at, like, 1 mill MIG Monday,
24:40Speaker 21 MIG Wednesday, 1 MIG Friday. Some of them need to go down from there to 0.5 a MIG, 0.5 MIG, 0.5 MIG. Some of them after a couple weeks, after this, you know, really start to feel it, then they need to slightly go up by 0.5 MIG increments. So
24:53Speaker 2but everybody is different. So you just be you and you feel it out. That's all I can really say on that 1.
25:00Speaker 2You do need to you wanna lose a significant amount of weight, which is great, and it and it will happen if you just keep working at it. So good job.
25:11Speaker 2All the other stuff, KPV. Like, why do you wanna take Contessa Ipka KPV? I almost think if this Redeye is working really good, I I don't know. I don't really want people to muddy the waters too much. KPV is good for your gut. If you have gut problems, take KPV. Yep. By all means, do it. If you don't,
25:27Speaker 2I don't I don't see the reason why. So KPV, my my girl has been deal dealing with
25:33Speaker 2heartburn, like bad indigestion. She didn't know what it was. Right? She's always
25:38Speaker 2like, do I have cancer? Like, no, you don't have cancer. If you do, go to think you do, then you let's go to a doctor. But
25:44Speaker 2I was like, take these Tums. So Tums kinda help.
25:47Speaker 2But basically, all that stuff, she has now taken KPV,
25:50Speaker 2and it's all gone. Really?
25:53Speaker 2Because,
26:46Speaker 2Whenever you get trans on, I think that so my girl's taking an injection, and it has helped. So That's right. That's good. Yeah. I get heartburn all the time. I never really thought about it. That's great. That and and,
26:56Speaker 2I mean, shoot, for autoimmune disorders, lot of them are occurring are starting really in the gut and also
27:04Speaker 2allergic reactions.
27:07Speaker 1Yeah. I don't think I I think KPV can be a fit for everybody because I just I'm under the opinion that pretty much all of us have gut issues because of the crap we eat. The seed oils are destroying our gut biome. I mean, just destroying our gut biome. Now KPV is not gonna radically fix it because it's just the food that because we continue to eat the shitty food, but like, it's great. KPV is great. I
27:31Speaker 1go through cycles and I'm back using KPV
27:34Speaker 1with my other peptides and I think it's great.
27:38Speaker 1So yeah, I think that's awesome. I definitely might have a little bit of a different opinion on that is I'm gonna say that I would definitely go up on the Retta. I
27:47Speaker 1think that you should obviously get away with less is more for sure, but you are on such a low dose.
27:53Speaker 1I would say 0.5
27:55Speaker 1megs
27:56Speaker 1Monday, Wednesday, Friday. You have a lot of weight that you want to lose, and I think that's still such
28:02Speaker 1a low dose.
28:03Speaker 1So I would try that. I'm like, Will said, You can always go down. Try it a week, try it 2 weeks, and then you have to also
28:10Speaker 1know that your body starts to acclimate and it knows this new
28:15Speaker 1compound is in your body and it takes a little while for your body to catch up to all this stuff. So
28:21Speaker 1that's what I would say. So 0.5 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
28:25Speaker 1In regards to the Tesa Ipamorelin,
28:28Speaker 1I would throw in an AOD in the morning. I've said it so many times, I'm gonna say it again because just women just need a little bit of some of these things and they go so far. The AOD in the morning with your Retatrutide and the Tessa Ipi at night, those will do wonders for you.
28:43Speaker 1And,
28:44Speaker 1you know, I know it's a peptide podcast,
28:47Speaker 1but we're always going to look at how are you eating? What type of food are you eating? How much are you eating? Are you not eating?
28:54Speaker 1I did a post today because I felt like I needed it to the degree of just when,
28:59Speaker 1you know, Will and I just, what we do and just the people that we come across,
29:03Speaker 1were, he and I were talking about it. That's why I kind of put a reel together where I don't actually didn't think I posted it yet, but I filmed it. But Reta is not a
29:11Speaker 1it's amazing.
29:13Speaker 1It is amazing, amazing, amazing. It's a scientific breakthrough if you use it properly. Like, if you or somebody, I'm not saying you, if you, a person, like, takes Reta and changes their lifestyle in no way, and you're eating shitty food and just continue to sit on the couch and don't try to change your life and better your life and start exercising and eating better, the objective is to
29:33Speaker 1better and get better habits.
29:36Speaker 1And we do see that a lot where people don't try to improve those things. But if you use Retatrutide
29:43Speaker 1in the proper form, meaning eat better, start to form better habits, exercise if you don't exercise and you start to it works 10 times better. There's so many people that just want a magic pill, so to speak, and they want to take Retrutide and not be hungry.
30:00Speaker 1And why is it not working? It's not working because I'm
30:03Speaker 1still hungry.
30:05Speaker 1It is working. It is a damn scientific breakthrough. You're not supposed to not be hungry. Retrutide is the beauty of it is you are supposed to be hungry. God made you hungry for a reason. You're supposed to just eat less. That's what Retatrutide is amazing for. You're supposed to eat less. You know, Mike, I until I started taking Retatrut, I never left food on my plate. Now I would be like, you're gonna leave that? Like, it just makes you eat less, but you can enjoy fruit food. Like, if you started back at Semaglutide,
30:33Speaker 1you didn't eat. But you don't know how to not eat. You want to eat, you just want to change your habit. So kind of went on a tangent, but we do get a lot of that stuff. I hope that people
30:43Speaker 1don't use Retrutide as like a crutch and they just want to like eat like shit and then that's it. Because it's not gonna you're not even tapping the power of it. Like, change your habits. Went a little bit too. But you know what I mean? Right. Absolutely. But here's the beauty for it, Red. It's actually really hard to eat like crap and eat a lot while on it. Right? Because it literally like changes your food preferences
31:03Speaker 2and, like, forces you to eat small frequent meals. So
31:08Speaker 2but still But if you wanna have a tendency, you're gonna pay the money. Absolutely. Work it properly. Yeah. For sure. You know what I mean? Sure. Alright. Am I up? Yeah.
31:16Speaker 2Sure.
31:18Speaker 1Alright. Had a great question for you guys. I wanna see if you can give me your opinion on the situation.
31:24Speaker 1I would like to start my mother on better chew tied to help her get healthy and lose some weight
31:31Speaker 1and more than anything, help her change her lifestyle. Boom. She is 59 years old and she is overweight, dealing with a
31:40Speaker 1little high blood pressure. And 1 of our problems,
31:43Speaker 1and 1 of the problems that we deal with
31:47Speaker 1is thyroid problems. Her doctors are telling her not to use it because it can cause her cancer because
31:54Speaker 1of the thyroid problems.
31:56Speaker 1Really looking forward to you guys' opinion on the situation.
31:59Speaker 1I think it would help her a lot on the Reta.
32:02Speaker 1Thanks again. It's a great question. Okay. Yes. I
32:06Speaker 2have a little bit of an answer for you. So these GLPs come with like a boxed warning that says it can
32:13Speaker 2in rodent studies,
32:15Speaker 2there has been a slight
32:17Speaker 2risk of like medullary thyroid cancer.
32:20Speaker 2Okay?
32:21Speaker 2There's been no evidence that ever says that it's the same in humans. Right? Also,
32:26Speaker 2there is no evidence that
32:29Speaker 2having, like, a having
32:31Speaker 2hyperthyroid
32:32Speaker 2or hypothyroidism
32:34Speaker 2is any contraindication.
32:35Speaker 2So the question really is,
32:38Speaker 2does she here's the question I would ask is, does she actually have a history of that cancer
32:43Speaker 2of, like, MEDN2 cancer,
32:46Speaker 2MEDN2 cancer?
32:48Speaker 1Probably not. Probably not.
32:50Speaker 2Chances are
32:51Speaker 2now again, I'm not getting advice, but like, here's the deal. If it was my mother, I would say, hey, how's her quality of life right now? She's old. Yeah. No, no. She's getting old. She's old. She's getting older.
33:02Speaker 2Many questions this doctor's asked her? I would be curious. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. I would ask Ret. I would go deep I would have the doctor well, if I was a doctor, I would ask deeper into this. Right? Because they don't. That's what I'm saying. They probably don't. There's play the slight box warning that says rodent studies that might do this, but, like,
33:18Speaker 2I don't think it's gonna really cause cause that cancer. Now What's the risk to the reward here? Right. And that's other thing. It's like my mother,
33:25Speaker 2like, how is her quality of life right now? Is she just struggling right now? Is life very fun? Great. How much what if we give this to her and her life gets a whole bunch better and in 15
33:35Speaker 2years she maybe develops cancer? Is she about to die anyway of natural causes anyway? Right. And great. She's looking great. 15 more years. Right. I don't know. Personally, looks like my dad had given him testosterone. He's like, oh, well, look at all these risks. I'm like, dude, what do you got to lose? Seriously. Right? You ain't doing much right now. You know? Shit.
33:52Speaker 2Like, people trip over a pebble when there's a mountain of benefit behind it. It's like, well, what about the pebble? Mhmm. You know what I mean? Yeah. So It is so funny. Don't know, dude. I I think that that I would absolutely say, hey. Is there a Yeah. Does she have it? Is there a family history?
34:07Speaker 2Then there's the like, the cardiovascular benefits of of of this are huge, especially for an automated And
34:15Speaker 2although it does say that I know we know this in Retta, like, it's been something that's held it back from from being approved
34:22Speaker 2is that there is this risk that it can kinda increase heart rate. Right? But the
34:28Speaker 2benefit of that for somebody who's an overweight individual
34:31Speaker 1Huge. It's huge. Huge. So
34:35Speaker 1Did you know said that would weight? Ultimately,
34:37Speaker 2this is you question. Right? But frankly
34:41Speaker 1If it was me, I would I'd give it to her and make her have a great life have a happier life right now. 59, she's overweight. You don't say the weight. So it would be like, oh, should we kind of knew that? Like how much weight?
34:53Speaker 1We know that it's going to work. She's going to lose
34:57Speaker 1weight and that can't be a bad thing. Yeah. Right. So what again, what is the risk to the reward? We'll answer it as if it's our mother because we're not doctors, but I don't even think your doctor knows. So I wouldn't even talk to that doctor.
35:08Speaker 1I bet that doctor didn't ask. Like, I say this a lot, but like, let's slow
35:12Speaker 1down and be logical for a 2nd because people are always like risks and this and cancer and all this stuff. Well, how about your Doritos?
35:19Speaker 1Like, why don't you worry about the food you're eating because that's just shit food and that's causing so much cancer? So does this doctor tell her to stop eating shit food? I sure hope he did if he's gonna tell her not to take Retrutide because Retrutide is gonna bring the weight down, and that can't be a bad thing. Like, it can't. Like, nothing's perfect.
35:38Speaker 1I would look at it if it was my mom. What's the risk to reward? The mountain of reward behind it is so worth the pebble of risk that he's talking about. And again, I hope that doctor was talking about her diet because if that doctor wasn't and he's talking about the Retrutide,
35:54Speaker 1find a different doctor. Like, if these doctors aren't talking about diet and different things and stuff,
35:59Speaker 1you know what mean? Mhmm. They gotta know that stuff. They don't get they don't get trained on on
36:04Speaker 1diet, though.
36:05Speaker 2Terribly in diet. They don't even know. Like, it's like people like doctors have told people, well, you know, you might get protein poisoning because you're eating a 100 grams of protein a day. Dude.
36:15Speaker 1What? I always say, look at your doctor. Is he in shape? He's like, why would you if he's not in shape, why would you listen to him? Like, why don't you do it, doc? You know what I mean? Like, you're gonna do as I say, not as I do? You know I I watched something on social media, which I rarely do, and they're like and it was somebody saying, like, here are showing pictures of, like, the head of the FDA or somebody who is the head of all of our right? And he's, like, morbidly obese. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's like the health director of whatever. He's, like, saying how they're, Yeah. I will I'll leave my comments out of but it's like, it's silly. Yeah. Oh, did you listen to a guy like that? Yeah. Why don't you do it, doc? Why don't you do it? Right.
36:55Speaker 2Next.
36:56Speaker 2And love the podcast. I'm 43 year old male, 6 6 foot 2 65.
37:02Speaker 2I'm on week 3 Retta switched from weekly injections
37:06Speaker 2to Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
37:08Speaker 21.5 Migs per. What else should I be taking with it? Pesa,
37:12Speaker 2MOTS-1C, Wolverine, or Glow? I've heard all mentioned to pair with Reta. Appreciate your insights or the
37:20Speaker 2insights.
37:21Speaker 2Well, cool. I guess I'm interested to see tell us what you think the difference in effect was when from switching from once a week to Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Yeah. Alright?
37:32Speaker 2But also, hey, what should you pair with it? Damn. What's your goals? I guess you're saying if you're taking Retta, I guess
37:39Speaker 2I have to assume that the goal is to lose weight. So
37:42Speaker 2Tesamorelin,
37:43Speaker 2absolutely, dude. I think Tesa Ipah blend, 100%. That'll help you burn fat in your stomach. It will help you speed up your metabolism.
37:52Speaker 2And it will help keep muscle on you while you are losing weight. Alright? That's kind of 1 of the biggest benefits there. Wolverine
37:59Speaker 2or Glow, like, dude, that stuff so Wolverine or Glow. Glow is basically just Wolverine, which is BPC TV,
38:06Speaker 2adding GHK-
38:09Speaker 2These are well, do you ever use that for healing? I'm curious. You ever use healing? Yeah.
38:14Speaker 1Do you ever use it for healing or do you use just simple
38:17Speaker 2I'll just use the Wolverine for healing. I was curious about that. Was gonna ask you. But I'm getting more and more. I'm hearing about more and more people using GHKCU
38:24Speaker 2and Glow for, like, acne.
38:27Speaker 2In fact, we were just talking to somebody about it and saying, like, just started using that and this and GHKCU
38:33Speaker 2SNAP-8 serum.
38:34Speaker 2They've had, like, 1 tiny pimple in 1 month, and that's it. Yeah. And they're used to more. This
38:41Speaker 2dude that we talked to this morning, right, like, was talking about taking it for skin, for his skin being clearer. And so and I don't know. I'm just getting more and more people. My girl takes GHK-
38:52Speaker 2for her skin. She loves it. A bit GHK-
38:55Speaker 2is there to to
38:57Speaker 2also somebody is taking it, and it's working for psoriasis,
39:02Speaker 2which makes sense. Right? It's bringing more collagen to your skin. Sure. K? For sure. BPC and TB also because those help. Yeah. Right? With angiogenesis,
39:09Speaker 2bringing more blood to your skin is gonna just heal things better. Mhmm. But I don't for healing? Nah. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure
39:17Speaker 1it should help, like, wound skin healing. Yeah. Cuts. It should heal help a cut, but not so much deeper than that. That's why I was asking because, I mean, in regards to the GHKC with the Wolverine, which is the low,
39:30Speaker 1It just I just was curious because it seems like a lot of people are taking it. Yeah. And I'm just curious.
39:35Speaker 2I feel like here's here's why I would take it is I
39:38Speaker 2wanna take the Wolverine just because, dude, even just putting injector in my stomach, saving me money. I feel so much better. 100%.
39:45Speaker 2I want that. Mhmm. Also, what the hell? I'll take looking better and my skin Yeah. Looking better and and, you know, in healing better.
39:53Speaker 2So then sure.
39:54Speaker 2I'll take Glow. And hell, while we're at it, I want my gut to feel better because everybody's gut is effed up. And if your gut is healthier and stronger, you're healthier and stronger, so might as well just take Clow.
40:06Speaker 2Right. Right. It's gonna be a better deal, and,
40:09Speaker 1you're getting all of them. What do you want? All of them. All of them. Yeah. Shit. That's usually my answer. Into me. Will Will is morphing into me. How many are taking now? Yeah. Like, 15. I have a thing tattooed on me. It says, you sure I'll take 1. Yeah. Or I'll take another. Yeah. How many do want? All of them. That's been, yeah. It's been my motto to in in my past life to a bad had turned bad. Propel fitness water with Gatorade electrolytes,
40:33Speaker 00 sugar, and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade Electrolytes.
40:45Speaker 2You're on me? But I think it's good nowadays.
40:48Speaker 2Alright.
40:49Speaker 1So, yeah, dude, I don't know for your answer. Hard to answer that with a we don't know the objectives. Great
40:55Speaker 2for it's to help boost metabolism,
40:57Speaker 2boosting your mitochondrial output.
40:59Speaker 2But I would more if we're looking for straight weight loss, I mean, I'm still pointing to AOD, 5 minute 1 and q test
41:06Speaker 2SLU-p.
41:07Speaker 1Yeah.
41:08Speaker 1I'm gonna say, you know, obviously we all want to burn fat. Right? You're on Retatrutide, so you're trying to lose weight. That's probably the most
41:15Speaker 1obvious here. I'm trying to tone up a bit at the very least. Right? So
41:20Speaker 1again, it always boils down to objectives because,
41:24Speaker 1you know, that's the basic question, but it's a very important question.
41:28Speaker 1I think, again, if we just slow down and just think logically of what are you trying to accomplish, if it's like for me right now, I'm trying to like do more nootropics type deal, and I'm usually focusing on
41:40Speaker 1fat burners and things like that, but that's my objective. So my objectives have changed, so the peptides have changed. Right? So if you're talking
41:47Speaker 1mitochondria
41:48Speaker 1health, our 2 favorites, Will and I talk about all the time are MOTS-three
41:52Speaker 1going to be SS-thirty 1,
41:54Speaker 1like anti aging,
41:56Speaker 1know, would be good. And I use NAD plus during
42:00Speaker 1the day around 2.
42:02Speaker 1Good for skin, hair, nails, anti aging. I do think it gives me energy,
42:07Speaker 1whether that works or not. I think that it does.
42:09Speaker 1So you could do that. And then at night, you know, for you being 43,
42:14Speaker 1hopefully you're on testosterone replacement or at least go get your blood work done to see where your tests are at.
42:20Speaker 1And then we're
42:21Speaker 1big fans of HGH.
42:23Speaker 1We're not gonna lie. We're very blunt about it. We think that it's amazing in low doses. We don't think there's a high risk because we talk about it often.
42:32Speaker 1So HGH,
42:33Speaker 1think for anybody over 40 is a really good play. It's a long play,
42:37Speaker 1worth the play. It's right alongside TRT
42:40Speaker 1for me. So that would do a lot for you.
42:45Speaker 1Tesamorelin,
42:46Speaker 1like he said at night.
42:48Speaker 1So again, it's really depending on what you're looking to accomplish because that question is so important. If it's
42:56Speaker 1brain function,
42:57Speaker 1if it's
42:58Speaker 1fat burning, because we could put you on a fat burning stat that will burn the hell out of your fat if you just do SLU-5Amino,
43:06Speaker 1L- carnitine, and we could stack the hell out of it if you really wanted. Or if you wanna really focus in on the mitochondria, we could stack the hell out of it. So again, I'm saying that because it's a super vague question, so we could dig in deeper if we knew a little bit more on what is my objective?
43:20Speaker 2Yes.
43:22Speaker 2Okay. I want to add something. We all get caught up in these questions about the peptides. Okay?
43:27Speaker 2There is no replacing
43:29Speaker 2like effort and diet
43:31Speaker 2and exercise.
43:33Speaker 2All right. So let's just I know we get caught up in like, all right, just answering some of the peptide questions, but like, damn.
43:39Speaker 2These peptides are here to amplify
43:41Speaker 2all of the effort.
43:43Speaker 2The effort,
43:44Speaker 2what I mean is nutrition and,
43:47Speaker 2lifting weights and exercise. Better humans. Right? And better humans and Changing your lifestyle.
43:52Speaker 2Yes.
43:53Speaker 2It is not gonna replace the effort. It's there to amplify all of that effort that you do. I think that we
44:00Speaker 1don't talk about it enough to the degree where like, that's our lifestyle that we, we will always lift weights. We'll always work out and we will always be
44:09Speaker 1cognizant
44:09Speaker 2of foods we eat and whatnot. So like we love peptides, but that's weird. We know a lot about this stuff because we've it's been our life forever. That's ground 0. And in fact, on top of just in what in, like, lifestyle, you mean, it's like, there's a difference between, hey. Okay. Fine. I'll go to the gym. Right? I'll go to the gym and work out for for 40 minutes, 3 days a week. Okay? Like, that seems good to some people, but, like so 40 minutes, 45 minutes, let's say 3 days a week, you know, doesn't you know, you have a week. It's 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Okay? Right. 3 times 45, if somebody else could do the math better than me, but is
44:44Speaker 2an hour, 2 hours and 25 minutes maybe
44:48Speaker 2out of
44:49Speaker 2the whole week, that ain't much. Right. So lifestyle
44:53Speaker 2if you haven't worked up done anything, that's a lot. But what I but lifestyle is like, yo, guess what we do on the weekends?
44:59Speaker 2Go hiking, go to the beach, go swimming, go surfing. Right? Like, that's lifestyle needs to just change. It needs to be
45:06Speaker 2everything.
45:07Speaker 2Yeah. Your whole thing. If you got a dog, great. Take a walk for 2 hours a day. I mean, that's 1 way I stayed lean for a long time. Was like, I just ran my damn dog for 2 hours a day if you have time. But,
45:17Speaker 2yeah, the whole lifestyle in general needs to change to be active. True that. This is why even caffeine is 1 of the best supplements. This is why a lot of these GNC fat burners work. Right? And what caffeine. What does caffeine do? Well, it restricts your appetite,
45:31Speaker 2speeds up your heart rate, so you're gonna be burning a little bit just more fat doing anything. It makes you not as lazy, so you ain't gonna sit on the couch as much. You're gonna get up and just walk around and do laundry and do other shit. You know? And
45:42Speaker 2and it's and it's it'll it'll heat you up a bit, which burns more calories just from doing that.
45:47Speaker 2True that. So do lifestyle change. Yes. Yeah. Alright. You're up. Are you? I hope
45:54Speaker 1you guys are good. Biggest fans of you guys. I watch you guys daily in your YouTube channel.
46:00Speaker 1I've learned a lot, but okay. I don't want to waste no time. Quick review on where I'm at. This is my 7th week on Retatrutide
46:08Speaker 1and AOD.
46:09Speaker 1Started January
46:11Speaker 15
46:12Speaker 1at 3 0 5, and right now I'm weighing 2 68.
46:17Speaker 1Anglevation,
46:18Speaker 1been fasting.
46:19Speaker 1Here we go. Every day for 24 hours, you watch you watch our channels there, buddy. 1
46:25Speaker 1big meal a day, high protein, high fat,
46:29Speaker 1working out 3 to 4 days a week, been on 3 Migs of Retatrutide,
46:33Speaker 1split,
46:34Speaker 1split Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
46:37Speaker 1and 1000
46:38Speaker 1micrograms.
46:39Speaker 1So it's a Mig of AOD every day split.
46:43Speaker 1Awesome. I love it. I'm going to run this for 16 weeks, but on my last 8 weeks, I'm going to add 5Meeta
46:51Speaker 11MQ to the cycle.
46:53Speaker 1My question is,
46:55Speaker 1as soon as I'm done with this plan is to start running Tesamorelin,
46:59Speaker 1MOTS- C, NAD, and GHK- CU. I'm going to rest
47:04Speaker 1off Reta for 4 weeks and then add it up again to the cycle. I want to hear your opinion on this and what you guys think. My goal is to keep losing weight at
47:14Speaker 1fat percent and keep getting healthier.
47:17Speaker 1Haven't felt this great in years. That is awesome.
47:20Speaker 1Haven't overweight for a couple of years. By the way, I'm 35 years old. Thank you, guys. Please don't stop uploading content. It is really helpful and informative all the way from
47:29Speaker 1Roma
47:30Speaker 1Texas brothers. How cool, dude. See, that's what I'm saying. Like, stuff like that, man. You guys don't even know. It really does
47:36Speaker 1mean a lot to us, so we're appreciative of that. You want me to take that? Go ahead.
47:41Speaker 1So
47:42Speaker 1yeah, you're watching.
47:44Speaker 1You're definitely watching. You've been obviously looking how I eat.
47:49Speaker 1Yeah, I do a lot of the fasting. You're doing that. Let me see. So you're at 3 $0.05, you're down to three-two 68.
47:56Speaker 1Should you switch it up? I mean, everything kind of boils down to Pocketbook,
48:01Speaker 1you know?
48:02Speaker 1Pocketbook obviously plays a role for all of us. I mean, you could add the 5Amino-1MQ
48:07Speaker 1and now and kind of continue on on the fat burner or like SLU-PP-three
48:12Speaker 132.
48:13Speaker 1I say it all the time. I'm pretty damn lean and I love fat burners. I just love them. I try to be as lean as I can. So I take a lot of them. I'm
48:21Speaker 1titrated down off of them recently,
48:24Speaker 1but that's not that common for me to do that. So anyways, yeah, you can add in the 5 0 5 minute 1MQ now if you wanna wait. That's fine too. Should you change it to the Tesamotc
48:34Speaker 1NAD and GHK- CU?
48:38Speaker 1Yeah, where did he say his age?
48:40Speaker 2I
48:41Speaker 2don't know.
48:43Speaker 2Don't know if It's
48:44Speaker 1gonna say contingent of 35 years old.
48:47Speaker 135 is a little bit young. In regards to the HGH, I'm always a let's write about the mark where
48:53Speaker 1I would say generally like 38 is a no brainer.
48:57Speaker 1100%
48:59Speaker 1go on that HGH.
49:01Speaker 1You don't mention
49:02Speaker 1testosterone
49:03Speaker 1replacement,
49:04Speaker 1but 35
49:06Speaker 1year olds,
49:07Speaker 1have seen very low on testosterone.
49:10Speaker 1So if you have not had your blood work done, I would definitely recommend you go get it and start there.
49:16Speaker 1If you're not on testosterone replacement and you are
49:21Speaker 1on this journey, you're going to expedite the process
49:24Speaker 1and your benefits heavily.
49:26Speaker 1So that's, I'm going to say that we say that often, but it is so true hormone replacement and getting your hormones in line is
49:33Speaker 1vital. It's up there with your diet and exercise that Will and I just talked about. So,
49:39Speaker 1but yeah, I think that your
49:41Speaker 1plan of attack is fairly good. Again, I would still keep some fat burners in there. I mean, do you need to come off Retatrutide?
49:47Speaker 1Not really. We've run some different things where
49:51Speaker 1a lot of things that we've read said it probably shouldn't,
49:55Speaker 1but, you know, there's some stuff that contradict that. So it's kind of a matter of, like, just trying it. If you feel like you want to get off it for a month,
50:02Speaker 1whatever.
50:03Speaker 1I stay on a low dose of it no matter what, and I'm pretty lean.
50:06Speaker 1But I like it. I like it. Get your hormones checked. I like to know where you're at. You seem like a cool dude. You follow us obviously, so
50:12Speaker 1shoot us a DM. I'm curious to see where your numbers are at. And if your numbers are low, fix them. Mhmm. You gotta fix them. The only thing I really have to well, 2nd.
50:21Speaker 2Yeah. But there's no real don't I don't know if you really need to or want to get off Retta.
50:26Speaker 2Okay. I don't I don't think like the stopping that and cycling that 1 is the down. Is a may is an important thing. You're
50:35Speaker 2I mean, you could titrate down.
50:37Speaker 1But
50:38Speaker 2And then go back up when you're ready. I think cycling the others is great, dude. Go back to you know? Yeah. You can cycle down.
50:44Speaker 2Notice
50:45Speaker 2because the goal is to dig as little as possible. So I I would try to cycle down instead of completely come off. And I wouldn't just abruptly come off either.
50:54Speaker 2If you're going to come off,
50:56Speaker 2wean off.
50:58Speaker 2But I have nothing really to add on that 1. Beautiful.
51:02Speaker 2Okay. Hey, guys. Love your show and straightforward no BS way of sharing research. Your own experiences and your opinions on peptide use, efficacy,
51:10Speaker 2and safety. Lately, I've been reading a lot about the idea that peptides are not the actual peptides.
51:15Speaker 2We know most have been used safely for years,
51:18Speaker 2but that the peptide explosion and subsequent gray market expansion is lending itself to some not so great manufacturing and corner cutting, which produces peptides containing
51:27Speaker 2bacteria, heavy metals, endotoxins,
51:30Speaker 2etcetera. If this is true, how do we keep ourselves safe
51:33Speaker 2and know that we are choosing the safest product to inject?
51:36Speaker 2Is it just the manufacturing process that creates a contamination,
51:40Speaker 2or are some products bought in bulk
51:42Speaker 2and bottled in a different location, which could add another opportunity
51:47Speaker 2for contamination?
51:48Speaker 2I know you test for purity, but do you okay.
51:52Speaker 2Have you ever tested for cleanliness of peptides
51:56Speaker 2or as well, or is this an exaggerated
51:59Speaker 2concern? Thank you in advance, James.
52:02Speaker 2So like, yeah, you're right about Great question. That's a great question. Surprised more people don't ask you, actually. I think that you so you 1st asked, is the manufacturing
52:11Speaker 2the problem,
52:13Speaker 2which which you're assuming is the making of the raw material,
52:17Speaker 2right,
52:18Speaker 2versus
52:19Speaker 2the
52:20Speaker 2bottling,
52:21Speaker 2taking that raw material, right, and putting it into vials at different locations. Right. K?
52:27Speaker 2Sure. I think that both so 1st of all, like the no BS answer, like, all of this raw the the manufacturing of the peptides, right, are all done overseas
52:36Speaker 2in China. Okay? I get yeah. Cool. If somebody could show me 1 example of it being done in India or some other country, but but the environmental impact on making these raws is just not feasible here in The United States. So if anybody tells you that the raws are manufactured here in The United States, they're to you. Yeah. They lie. Intentionally or unintentionally.
52:54Speaker 2I'm not sure. But That's right. It's still both a problem. The which is still both a problem. So,
52:59Speaker 2yes, I think the manufacturing is done by a few big manufacturers.
53:05Speaker 2My guess is the most of the problems are gonna be the bottling portion. So they take here's the simplified
53:13Speaker 2process,
53:13Speaker 2folks, is
53:15Speaker 2they take raw material. Okay? I don't care. This is what people call made in America, by the way, is buying raw raw product. Okay? Bringing it here. Okay? Now getting vial, which they bought from China.
53:27Speaker 2Putting
53:29Speaker 2powder in, they put this little salt,
53:32Speaker 2like a salt
53:33Speaker 2puck
53:34Speaker 2inside of there, which helps it
53:38Speaker 2stay together longer. It's more it's like a preservative a little bit, and it shows a little bit of volume. So you can see the peptide. If there was no salt puck in there, you'd go, what? Looks like you powered powder in here and then poured it back out. Yeah. And now we just have residue. Right? But that actually is the peptide. Salt puck, freeze dry it,
53:56Speaker 2crimp bottle top,
53:58Speaker 2made in America. Right? Oh. That process now, cool. Maybe people believe, hey, American standards of doing that is cleaner than the Chinese standards of doing that.
54:08Speaker 2I think it totally depends on the actual lab that's doing that. Totally. Right? Or the underground lab or the dude's the dude's garage
54:18Speaker 2that he's doing it in. I guess how are gonna look for it? Like, by the way, anything that we use, like, have we we we look at endotoxin tests and
54:27Speaker 2in-depth COAs and have tested things for heavy metals, etcetera, etcetera. We've we have tested and got back some bad
54:35Speaker 2endotoxin heavy metal tests, and we have
54:38Speaker 2not done those. I have way early on before I ever even started trying to, like, get my own, bought them from other sources and taken something for a long time and then tested it later and realized that it had a shit ton of endotoxins in it. I think I said that before,
54:54Speaker 2and I'm still alive. And frankly,
54:55Speaker 2I didn't really notice it. So
54:58Speaker 2I think that
55:00Speaker 2a here's what a lot of companies are doing is the manufacturers that they buy something from, okay, from China will send a test with them. Okay. Oh, look, I tested my product. Now you should just trust me. Then they send that out. Then they tell the public, here's my test. Right? That's not cool. I know that,
55:15Speaker 2you know, a good company should
55:18Speaker 2great. I wanna see the test on on your raws. Right?
55:22Speaker 2But I'm also test retesting them, and then we're gonna bottle them in a in a in a clean lab.
55:28Speaker 2Right? And then retest that bottled product. Right. K.
55:33Speaker 2That's how we choose to, yes,
55:35Speaker 2show test. Well, ironically,
55:37Speaker 1it wasn't planned. I had posted something today because we talked about this a little bit, and I felt like I needed to kind of throw something out there because
55:44Speaker 1we're all blessed because we can get peptides fairly easy these days, but we all there's
55:50Speaker 1a lot of risk to the degree where,
55:52Speaker 1how do I know if I'm using a good company? No 1 doesn't ever fully know, but like, if they're super cheap, you're doing it wrong because they're not being tested. They take a lot of money to be tested. So if a company
56:04Speaker 1if a company has the money to test them, that cost is going to be passed on to you. That's why they're more expensive. Like, you know, and like, either you're gonna be able to see to a degree
56:15Speaker 1who the company is, if it's something that you can kind of pay attention to, if it's somebody that you follow on Instagram, if it's wherever you find the company, there's gonna be some little nuggets that you can find along the way. This company's legit. You can kind of see. You can just be observant, be logical.
56:30Speaker 1Larger company that's charging you a little more, they have the money to test them, and that's going to be passed on to you. It's worth
56:39Speaker 1spending money on something you are going to inject. Now, Will just said,
56:43Speaker 1Is it going to kill you? Probably. High probability, no. You might get rashes and bumps and stuff, and the worst thing is you might get very low dose of whatever it is you're getting. Mhmm. But you're still spending money on it. So spend a little more money to use a good company. Trust me, they pass the cost on you because they test the products, but you know you're getting the products. Yep. Early on
57:05Speaker 2On demand. There's a company in San Diego that's been testing
57:09Speaker 2everything. They're
57:10Speaker 2like DEA certified and HPLC.
57:13Speaker 2You know,
57:14Speaker 2that's all their tests, and they contacted us
57:17Speaker 2early on to to test all of their equipment out because we happen to be close by. But to test their testing equipment. Right?
57:26Speaker 2And without saying too much because I can't, but basically to test them correctly, they needed 24 bottles. And so, like, that adds up for a company. Yeah,
57:35Speaker 2dude. Just to just to give, right, to Kithworth to get something tested in addition to I mean, I would say these tests to get it tested,
57:45Speaker 2on average, it's between 300 to $700.
57:48Speaker 2I know this for a fact. So
57:51Speaker 2and then on to do that for every single batch that is produced, like, that's adds up. He's right. And then you're losing 24 bottles in every single test.
57:59Speaker 2That's why the costs are higher. That's why the costs are higher. So that and I would say, hey, man. Like, look and see if this or somehow figure out, hey. Is there are there a lot of people buying from this
58:08Speaker 2company? I what I wouldn't do is test so here's the thing. A lot of these, like, Trustpilot
58:14Speaker 2and
58:15Speaker 2a lot of these
58:17Speaker 2companies that are out there, they they grade different online companies
58:22Speaker 2based on not just consumer reviews, not at all. That's like some percentage, but basically, like, do they have a payment processor that is that is a quality? Right? And if you don't, you miss now you're downgraded by, like, 50%. Oh, wow. Right? Because you're untrustworthy
58:38Speaker 2company because you're not using Visa or Mastercard. Oh, man. A lot of these peptide companies, right, well, by the way, a pep to for a peptide company to get a payment processor, it costs about twenties
58:48Speaker 2about 20%. So every single dollar they make, 20%, goodbye. Yeah. Alright. Well, you see 10% of bad There's more cost. Months.
58:56Speaker 2So that's why you're gonna see a lot of them just do Venmo,
58:59Speaker 2Zelle, blah blah blah. But that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of
59:04Speaker 2the product. But I just, I know that a lot of those considerations go into those trusting
59:08Speaker 2Choosing. Whatever
59:10Speaker 2grades
59:11Speaker 2and that kind of that's too bad for those companies. Do that. So I don't know, dude. Yeah. Talk to the customer service too, man. And, like,
59:19Speaker 2I don't know. Do they respond? Do they respond?
59:22Speaker 2Do they treat you well? Do they do they talk to you? Do they kind of you know, they can't really tell you how you use things. Right? That's not legal because they can't sell these for human consumption. Yeah. But
59:35Speaker 2they should at least respond and do the best There's ways to sell what you can tell if, like, what companies are worth and what
59:42Speaker 2it's there to read. People don't People read
59:44Speaker 2the roadside. Do they stand by the products? Do they send you another 1 that gets whatever,
59:49Speaker 2broken or damaged, etcetera.
59:51Speaker 2Alright. And I do think it is a little bit of an exaggerated concern, like JD said.
59:56Speaker 2Get a rash. Alright. Yeah. Where you don't get what you get. Yeah. I think the biggest biggest concern for me is that I'm like, yeah, you're giving me something that's like 0.5 of what you It ain't working well. It was $7, dude. So Exactly.
1:00:06Speaker 2Alright. Love the pod and the crew. Hearing conflicting suggestions for staying on Reta at low dose of 1.5
1:00:13Speaker 2migs per week after reaching goal weight and titration down.
1:00:16Speaker 2Is it viable to keep running it to continue to be an internal fat burning furnace and to continue to gain benefits metabolically?
1:00:24Speaker 2What's your thoughts? And if yes, suggestion on how long to run it before desensitization.
1:00:29Speaker 2Suggested break and when to restart the same 1.5 megs dose. Much appreciated, bros. Keep up the good work and the transparency.
1:00:37Speaker 2It means a lot.
1:00:39Speaker 2You wanna take Go ahead. Go ahead. I've been talking too much. So you got I don't think there's an exact answer everybody's gonna Propel fitness water. With Gatorade electrolytes,
1:00:48Speaker 00 sugar, and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade Electrolytes.
1:01:00Speaker 1Be a little bit different again. I can't
1:01:03Speaker 1tell you
1:01:04Speaker 1how long I plan on being
1:01:06Speaker 1on it. You know, there's not years and years and years and years of study of it. So that's just the way it is.
1:01:13Speaker 1My experience with it is you definitely lose
1:01:18Speaker 1the,
1:01:20Speaker 1some of the ability where it kind of blocks the hunger. I think that's just in the beginning, right? But it's working. Like you do not need a lot of Reta.
1:01:28Speaker 1And again, it's kind of contingent, but if you've reached your goals and you're taking 1.5 mg, right? That's still such a low dose. Like I probably will continue to take 1.5 mg,
1:01:39Speaker 1which I have. That's my low dose. And then when I'm ready to burn more fat, I'll do 3 mg. And I plan on doing that for quite some time. So
1:01:47Speaker 1again, it's a matter of opinion. I don't think you necessarily need to come off on it. If you do, that's kind of up to you.
1:01:54Speaker 1I don't know. I don't know if I'm gonna really answer that, but that's my take, man. I think that's such a low dose and people think it's not working. It's freaking working, dude. Retrite tooth is powerful. It's still burning fat. It's still working.
1:02:05Speaker 1If you've hit your goal goal,
1:02:08Speaker 1then you can go down a little bit. I would kind of stay on it a little bit just to kind of keep it in your system personally.
1:02:13Speaker 2Right. I think that there is are learning that there's a lot of benefit to Reta, like, besides the fat burning. So I actually do think that you should stay. I think like we're learning it's actually good for you.
1:02:24Speaker 2And for like meta for metabolic health at a low dose. Okay. At a low, like, maybe even less than a 1.5, like, 1.5 mg a week. Okay. Cool. That's a low dose. Yes. I did. I thought that was 3 times a week. But honestly,
1:02:38Speaker 2shoot, what I would say for I'd stay on it. I do stay on it.
1:02:42Speaker 2A little bit lower than that, right, for my brain health and alertness and,
1:02:47Speaker 2yeah, for a little bit of metabolic, right, keep the fire the furnace going. So I don't know. You know, maybe do I wanna stay on it for 30 years? Probably not.
1:02:55Speaker 2I don't I don't know. Just I don't wanna have to be taking something for that long, but
1:03:00Speaker 2I don't see a year maybe drop down. Like, you know, play with it. Just be yourself. You know, if you can get around and just be fine with nothing, that's the goal. Right? I would love to just walk around naked and be happy and be perfect. Totally.
1:03:15Speaker 2There's nothing wrong with staying on it little bit long term. If you do get off it, definitely, like, wean, wean, wean down. Right? See how you got body goes. Right? If you wanna get back on it, what the hell? Go get back on it. If you wean down and you go, oh,
1:03:27Speaker 2wait, I like now I'm not feeling good or too much food noise or or fat's coming back, like, then just stay at that low dose or maybe bump slightly up where you were good, stay there, and then try in a month to wean back down.
1:03:39Speaker 2So there is no hard fast rules on this question. There's just really it's just
1:03:43Speaker 2you, but I I don't see and we also don't really know long term data. Sorry. There's no data that tells us 50 years is what it is. Like, I
1:03:50Speaker 2don't know, but
1:03:52Speaker 2it's a pretty standard metabolic process and we can kind of guess and forecast
1:03:56Speaker 2what the problems are going to be long term and they're really
1:04:00Speaker 2pretty good.
1:04:02Speaker 2So
1:04:02Speaker 2yeah, dude, there's no refard fast rule on that 1.
1:04:05Speaker 1Sorry. All right. You're up. I mean, yeah, I read that 1. Hey lads. Love your work. Love the potty. You must be from Australia down in India. I love the potty. I've,
1:04:16Speaker 1I've been smashing it the last few weeks as I'm diving deep into the peps, looking for your opinion. I'm an endurance dad athlete
1:04:24Speaker 1looking to better my physique,
1:04:26Speaker 1gain muscle, strip fat, and endurance overall, and sometimes struggle in the distance stuff
1:04:32Speaker 1as I can just,
1:04:34Speaker 1as I just can't eat enough fuel. Current running 4 times per week and the gym 5 times a week.
1:04:41Speaker 1So looking for what
1:04:43Speaker 1you would think for best stat. Currently running Retta 1.5
1:04:47Speaker 1megs weekly split up to Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Awesome. 1 meg of Wolverine nightly, CJC Ipam, nightly,
1:04:54Speaker 15 Amino,
1:04:55Speaker 12.5.
1:04:57Speaker 1It just started HGH,
1:04:59Speaker 12 IUs daily.
1:05:01Speaker 1Should I run HGH in the night
1:05:04Speaker 1and move CJC to the morning? You should definitely switch that. I'm pretty new to all this, but diving in hard. I've got a few other available to me now, like Tesa, MOTS-1.0, AOD-1.1,
1:05:15Speaker 1Ipah.
1:05:16Speaker 1I would love your thoughts, please. You guys are legends.
1:05:20Speaker 1That is a big thing in Australia. Legends. They say legends often. I just say like legend. You wanna take that? Like, great.
1:05:27Speaker 2Yeah, sure. Cool. So 1st I would say, are you taking any testosterone?
1:05:31Speaker 2And for a low for for an endurance person,
1:05:34Speaker 2low dose, especially if your age, like, that's gonna help you recover so much. But you don't wanna be doing too much. I think that's hard to get. I think it is really hard. It's hard to get all this stuff, though. So I know. Was surprising that But it is doable. All this. Yeah. So, but it is doable.
1:05:49Speaker 2But if you do take tests, like keep it low dose because a lot of it isn't good on your endurance.
1:05:55Speaker 2But
1:05:56Speaker 2also the RET, I don't know if you need you know, you're you're diving in deep, but like, you're working hard. Right? Yeah.
1:06:03Speaker 2With the RET, no wonder you can't get enough calories in to fuel you. You know, just with all that hard work, it depends on your genetics. Right? You may need less. You may be able to take less Retta and therefore could intake more food. Yeah. Might have to take that get off it. Or get off of it. I don't know. That's depending on how you feel and look. My guess is that's gonna cut into some of your energy just because, we need calories. You like you said, you need calories to to to to use energy.
1:06:28Speaker 2I think the growth is perfect
1:06:30Speaker 2to use. You need that for your recovery. Like, don't your body's just gonna get beat up. It's that's what I'm seeing.
1:06:37Speaker 2And hard work
1:06:38Speaker 2means your body gets beat up. Right? Everybody looks great. I almost guarantee it doesn't has a lot of injuries.
1:06:45Speaker 2You don't necessarily feel great
1:06:48Speaker 2in the small joint areas.
1:06:50Speaker 2All of those other things,
1:06:52Speaker 2I think what JD said is is do do the do the HGH in the morning, the security dogs at night. K?
1:06:59Speaker 2HGH in the morning or
1:07:01Speaker 2yeah. Reason is at nighttime is our biggest pulse is right when we go to sleep. K? And you don't want your body to think, hey, wait. Look how much growth I have in it. Let's slow that pulse down. Right?
1:07:14Speaker 2So that's why you wanna do it in the morning and not at night right before that big pulse. All these other ones, well, experiment with them. Let's not throw them all in at 1 time,
1:07:23Speaker 2but I would, you know, picks pick 0.5 of these.
1:07:27Speaker 2I would also do MOTS C and SS 31 for sure. That's gonna help with your mitochondria. That's gonna, again, gonna help your repair and intracellular
1:07:35Speaker 2helping repair your body after you work really hard and burn off a lot of good nutrients
1:07:41Speaker 2and vitamins and minerals, etcetera,
1:07:44Speaker 2that'll keep you healthy.
1:07:46Speaker 2Right? Our immune system is down too, like, when we at the peak time of exercise
1:07:52Speaker 2or right after after we've used everything.
1:07:55Speaker 2So
1:07:56Speaker 1I don't know. I think that's all I have. Like, it looks like you're kicking ass and just keep doing that. You've thought through this. I would say the only thing that I could even add is you could actually, if you wanna, if you're having a problem not getting enough calories, you could pull out the Retta. You can add in like a SLU-PP-three
1:08:09Speaker 132. That's gonna be good for endurance anyway.
1:08:12Speaker 1And then, or if you want to stay on the Retta, just add an MK-677
1:08:15Speaker 1if you can get it. I don't know how that is in Australia, if that's where you're from.
1:08:20Speaker 1Because they offset each other well.
1:08:22Speaker 1You will eat more even on the Retta. I know that with experience.
1:08:26Speaker 1So that will help you kind of offset. And so the Retta will still do what the Retta do,
1:08:30Speaker 1and the MK will make you eat more. So that probably would be a good fit for you. I would try that if you can get the MK-677.
1:08:38Speaker 2For sure. That's good. Actually, good point. You said you have access to Ipamorelin. I would actually, like, take a decent amount of Ipamorelin if you can't get MK. So same thing. Right? Those those work the same way through that ghrelin
1:08:52Speaker 2receptor pathway, which in turn boosts your hunger. Now MK
1:08:57Speaker 2turns on your it makes your pulses not be pulses, but just Woo. Fuck, just steady rush of growth. Yeah. Whereas IpA increases the heck out of your pulses,
1:09:08Speaker 2but they're all done through that ghrelin receptor. So I think the Ipam will be very helpful if you can't get to MK. Yeah.
1:09:15Speaker 2Love it. Yeah. But keep I don't know, dude. Keep kicking butt. Yeah. Take it on, dude. Alright. Hi, guys. I love the podcast. I have been using some peptides.
1:09:24Speaker 2Glow, MOTSY SS 31, Epitalon, and Retta.
1:09:28Speaker 267 year old female. I've been lifting weights way before it was cool for women to lift. Nice. I'm lean in good shape, and my numbers are all good, but I was born with a stupid bi cuspid aortic valve. My goal is to put off a valve replacement as long as I can.
1:09:43Speaker 2I've talked to a couple of functional doctors and they agree the peptides I am using could possibly help.
1:09:50Speaker 2My question is about Cardiogen.
1:09:52Speaker 2I haven't found much info on it and haven't, and I haven't heard you guys talk about it. I've ordered it and plan on adding it once I finish this rounds of SS-thirty 1 and MOTSI. All right. I don't know. So this 1, I'm
1:10:06Speaker 2afraid I'm not going to give you a great answer. But 1st of all, as your doctors have told you, the bicuspid aortic valve is more of a structural thing. Okay?
1:10:16Speaker 2No peptides are going to, like, fix that problem. Now you kind of acknowledge that by saying, hey. I'm just trying to put off the replacements as long as I can. So
1:10:26Speaker 2I do I think and so cardiogenic, there's just why you haven't found a lot of info because there isn't a lot of info.
1:10:34Speaker 2And
1:10:35Speaker 2I don't yeah. So I just don't have a lot of info for you. There isn't there's stuff that I think that SS-thirty 1 and MOTS-three is better for you. It's better for this problem.
1:10:46Speaker 2I would if so my conclusion is I would be the 1 I would kinda go heavier on the SS 31. I'd still take the MOTSI at maybe a MIG a day, but I would, like, be boost boost up your SS 31. Shoot. I mean, even up to, like, 10 MIGs a day.
1:11:03Speaker 2That's a lot to like,
1:11:05Speaker 2but I wouldn't do any less than 5 MIGs a day.
1:11:07Speaker 2So 10 MIGs isn't that isn't all that much. But basically, that's just increasing the, like, integrity of your, like, mitochondrial wall. Right? Because
1:11:16Speaker 2all this energy and everything is made MOTS-seventeen is boosting your mitochondrial energy. Right? This is kinda like the your engine.
1:11:23Speaker 2If 0.5 of this if if this energy is just leaking out the sides, right, and is not going through where it's supposed to go, it's just basically kinda worthless. So SS 31 is just shoring that housing up. So all of that energy gets used and goes down the right place so your body can't actually use it. Right? And it's very that's
1:11:42Speaker 2very,
1:11:43Speaker 2very important. Yeah.
1:11:46Speaker 2And I think that would help the
1:11:49Speaker 2your cardiovascular
1:11:51Speaker 2support
1:11:52Speaker 2more than cardiogenic. Also, cardiogenic I mean, it's just tough. Like, even if we took it, you know, I don't think we would notice a difference.
1:11:59Speaker 2I think that somebody who is potentially
1:12:02Speaker 2very deficient like we talked about and and and just happens to be that 1 1 in 1000 cases, like, or maybe more that needs that 1 little thing. You take it, they could do miracles. So,
1:12:12Speaker 2but again, I don't have enough research to even
1:12:15Speaker 1give you a recommendation on that. Yeah. That's like- can only give you my experience with certain things, and
1:12:21Speaker 1I don't know what
1:12:24Speaker 1entails a replacement valve and the recovery time, and maybe that's your main objective to avoid that. I can just speak with my experience recently to where I tried so hard to fight this damn surgery. I've had 4, so this was my 5th and I just was so, so trying. I took so much Wolverine and TB-five hundred and BPC so
1:12:43Speaker 1much trying to like put it into my bottom part of my leg with the nerve and my butt just, I did my best.
1:12:49Speaker 1Peptides are amazing, but they just, they're not magic, you know? So
1:12:53Speaker 1I don't know again, I'm not gonna tell you to have the surgery or not have a surgery. I don't know what that entails, but my experience when it's something that's out lie, peptides aren't gonna fix it, you know? So if you're prolonging it anyway,
1:13:05Speaker 1might as well just kind of get it done, heal, and keep kicking ass.
1:13:09Speaker 1That's my take.
1:13:10Speaker 1I like, that's not my take. I don't know what the recovery time is. Happy for your doctor who said that pepatides are probably a good play. Good for them. They're starting to come around to the fact that they better jump on the ship or the ship is going through.
1:13:23Speaker 1We'll leave you at the dock. Western medicine,
1:13:26Speaker 1bye.
1:13:27Speaker 1It's Chip. We love you, doctors. Yeah. We get a lot of them coming on. And then also, so we're gonna throw this out in on this. So we have, man, this podcast has come a damn long way and we love it. We enjoy it. It's 1 of the favorite things that we do. And,
1:13:40Speaker 1we do 2 podcasts a week. We do the Q and A, which we just did, and we do a peptide of the week, which is we usually break down to. Sometimes we talk about TRT because we love it.
1:13:50Speaker 1We are thinking about adding 0.333 that will add a lot to our plate, but, I think it would do a lot. So give us some feedback. So the idea behind it, at least, is we are thinking, we have to think through this more, so little premature, but we wanted your thoughts. We were thinking maybe adding another
1:14:07Speaker 1podcast, so that'd be 3 a week for this podcast,
1:14:10Speaker 1and adding a
1:14:12Speaker 1guest of the week, maybe a doctor or a nurse practitioner or
1:14:16Speaker 1somebody in the realm of what we do. We are having a friend of ours on who does my Botox and,
1:14:24Speaker 1she runs a couple of wellness centers and she knows a lot about it. She travels all over the world to do education on all kinds of stuff. So ladies,
1:14:31Speaker 1maybe next week we're going to have her on. The reason we want to have her on, she does, hormone pellets, testosterone pellets.
1:14:38Speaker 1We talk a lot about that for men,
1:14:41Speaker 1and a lot of women have been hitting us up about stuff for you guys. So she's gonna come on. She goes well to center. She knows a lot about a lot of that stuff.
1:14:48Speaker 1She's gonna talk to you ladies. So let us know about that and let us know if the 3 a week would be something of interest and we will sit down and talk about it. Yep. Cool. For sure. Alright. We've gone long, so we love you guys. We will see you next time. Good night.
