0:39Speaker 1Welcome back to the Peptide of the Week podcast.
0:42Speaker 1I'm your host, JD Denham. Crossway, my buddy, William T. Haws. What's up, dude?
0:48Speaker 2What day is it? It's cold. It's a rainy day. I know. It's been raining. It's lot 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? 3 weeks of, like, 80 degree weather in January and February. So,
1:08Speaker 2yeah, it's rainy right now. A little cold. It's cold. Where else is cold? My office is hot. Yeah.
1:15Speaker 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.
1:21Speaker 1It's been cool though, man. It's been definitely cool. I
1:25Speaker 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,
1:37Speaker 1maybe 3 weeks ago,
1:38Speaker 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 podcasts. 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
2:08Speaker 2mold our answer. Right. Oh, that makes sense. Maybe I'll include that in my answer, and then that's not really real. Then we don't give any individual opinion. Right?
2:16Speaker 2So
2:17Speaker 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
2:24Speaker 1work well because we're different people. You're very different. I'm very different. And
2:28Speaker 1Yeah. That's it, man. Yeah. I think it would be boring if we were the same. It would be boring. Well, I have 2 people. Yeah. The same.
2:35Speaker 2They're the same. Both both good looking, though. Both fair. Am allowed to say that? Yes. You know what's funny? I'm just joking.
2:41Speaker 1Just like I,
2:43Speaker 2you know, I've been to well, met a lot of people and the people who are
2:48Speaker 2who I actually like not maybe not like the most, but I'm most interested in talking to usually are people who are opposite me.
2:56Speaker 2Interesting. Let's say I go move into a sober living. Right? And there's a guy who's like me. Period.
3:01Speaker 2It's interesting. Because I already know me. Like, I don't really I'm not that interested in another,
3:07Speaker 2like, gym bro that's similar to me. Right? 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
3:17Speaker 2new 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
3:26Speaker 2who likes something completely opposite. Yeah. A little bit slow. 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?
3:36Speaker 2Yeah. Yeah. As long as he's just not nerdy about
3:39Speaker 2nothing.
3:41Speaker 2You know? He knows, I don't know, something all about science or he's an engineer. I'm like, alright, dude. That's cool. Something about that. This is not myself on the back or think I'm something. But
3:50Speaker 1I was so bad for those kids sitting alone, dude. Don't know if I gonna sit by them. I don't if was gonna sit by them, and I try to 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.
4:09Speaker 1And my gig.
4:11Speaker 2No.
4:12Speaker 2Because what the hell? I mean, life has been good to me.
4:15Speaker 2And,
4:16Speaker 2yeah, some people are not right? I don't know. Yeah. Not to pat myself on the back, but some just whatever. That's me. That's That's me. That, like, are easy that God gave me that was that was helpful in life, and not everybody has that. So Yeah.
4:30Speaker 1Do what you can, man. Do what you can. But
4:33Speaker 1we are here. We're gonna talk about the Q and A, man. Really quickly,
4:37Speaker 1we love the fact of you just the comments we get from you guys. I know I'd say it often, but I want you to understand is how it moves us. We get a lot of hate mail too,
4:46Speaker 1which comes with the territory. When you open up your world to social media, you are subjected to a lot of hate mail, so 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,
5:00Speaker 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 hours working? Right. Alright. So number 1, here we go. I
5:17Speaker 2started 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
5:27Speaker 2while cycling this? Same question with Selank. I just ordered this,
5:30Speaker 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,
5:41Speaker 2should this be taken in the evening or in the morning? Thank you.
5:46Speaker 1Alright. Good. Is it 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. So 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,
6:04Speaker 1if 1 peptide that everybody knows is gonna be BPC-one 157 or in a TB or the blood, right? So if you have an injury,
6:11Speaker 1let's say, go like this. If you have an injury
6:14Speaker 1and you are using that and you stop,
6:18Speaker 1it's going to heal it probably a little bit, but you should continue
6:22Speaker 1on
6:23Speaker 1using it. It's going to work a lot better. So that's my opinion. Do I think it can repair in longevity?
6:30Speaker 1Sure. Do I think it will? Probably not. I think that you're going to get the best
6:34Speaker 1oomph 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.
6:49Speaker 1And that would make be logical to me. When it comes to the Selank,
6:54Speaker 1I would take it in the morning, personally. You know, I've ran some cycles of this. I take them together.
7:01Speaker 1I'm not somebody who's hugely
7:04Speaker 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 I think you could get away with it either way. I choose the morning. That's my take. K. Yeah. They
7:18Speaker 2are known to so
7:20Speaker 2Selank and Semax are known to, like, increase your BDNF,
7:24Speaker 2brain derived nootrophic
7:26Speaker 2factor.
7:27Speaker 2Also,
7:27Speaker 2really support, like, brain elasticity,
7:30Speaker 2learning
7:31Speaker 2and resilience,
7:33Speaker 2okay, while you're on. And those all of those things make a healthier
7:38Speaker 2brain in longevity. Sure. 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 but I would say that, absolutely, they for sure
7:52Speaker 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 all, they haven't been around that long term.
8:03Speaker 2All of the data is in Russia.
8:05Speaker 2So Russians, they've taking a long time. Taking this stuff along. These 2 in particular. Specifically these 2.
8:10Speaker 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.
8:18Speaker 2The last
8:20Speaker 2thing is okay. Yeah. Right. I know we we actually spoke to a woman who is competing in powerlifting. In the 1st event that she did,
8:29Speaker 2she was really nervous, and that hurt her powerlifting. So the 2nd event, she took a bunch of Selank before that.
8:36Speaker 2Did not to try to calm the nerves. Right? But you take too much or you take it to the wrong time.
8:41Speaker 2I would not take it before a big needing to perform athletic event
8:45Speaker 2because
8:45Speaker 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 it slowed.
8:55Speaker 2Remember the guy who came in with his girlfriend,
8:59Speaker 2and he did he taught people how to build credit, build business credit. Right? That
9:04Speaker 2that girl,
9:05Speaker 2his 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 resistance. And I think she told told us she took quite a bit.
9:20Speaker 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 that 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.
9:38Speaker 2I would also take DSIP.
9:40Speaker 2Right? That that that too can be taken during the day because it just
9:44Speaker 2several neurotransmitters,
9:45Speaker 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.
9:54Speaker 2But but that is, you know,
9:56Speaker 2I don't know. It depends depends on who you are and, what you're using it for. Also, these are good in combination.
10:04Speaker 2Right? It may you would think
10:06Speaker 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
10:18Speaker 2for you. Go get it and try that.
10:21Speaker 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
10:30Speaker 1for a long time, which that's awesome. Yeah. Instead of like our A really interesting. Yeah. That's rad. Mhmm. I think that's always found that very interesting.
10:39Speaker 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 Every 1 of them. Yeah. But the the suicide rates are crazy. Like,
10:53Speaker 2putting somebody on Zoloft, etcetera.
10:56Speaker 2Yeah. Not good for for adolescents.
10:59Speaker 1Yep. Oh, man. I remember we luckily had to deal with any of that stuff, but man, you know, a lot of people do. Alright.
11:05Speaker 1Number 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, guys. Seeing 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, 6 4, currently 300 pounds down from 3 45.
11:28Speaker 1Ovation.
11:29Speaker 1Good job. I used to compete in powerlifting,
11:33Speaker 1but had to stop after a serious back injury during contest prep.
11:38Speaker 16 months ago, I got my hormones optimized. My total T went from 110
11:45Speaker 1to over 1,100.
11:47Speaker 1Good for you, man. You probably feel like a new person. My labs are finally looking great.
11:54Speaker 1I feel like a different person. My goal is to get 15% body fat. A recent DEXA scan showed I have
12:02Speaker 12 30 pounds of lean mass. I'm training
12:06Speaker 14 days a week and consistently
12:08Speaker 1hitting 25 grams of protein daily,
12:12Speaker 1which is going really well. Current protocol,
12:15Speaker 1200
12:16Speaker 1mg of testosterone siponate pinned every other day,
12:21Speaker 1plus 5 mg of Retatrutide
12:23Speaker 1weekly.
12:25Speaker 1The past, I did not care about being lean, only strong.
12:29Speaker 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,
12:39Speaker 1what compound stack and
12:41Speaker 1or specific lifts or training approach
12:44Speaker 1would you recommend to maximize recomp in my situation? Total open to any excitation. Thanks. What a great question. Yeah. Power lifters,
12:53Speaker 1man, 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. Got in 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? Sure.
13:09Speaker 2I will.
13:10Speaker 2Okay.
13:11Speaker 2Right 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.
13:19Speaker 2So you wanna keep getting lean. 1st of all,
13:22Speaker 2you did you said that you're eating 250
13:25Speaker 2grams. I think you said 25 grams. So 250?
13:28Speaker 2Cool. As long as your protein is good protein sources. Right? And it's not just kind of crap 250
13:35Speaker 2grams, like just drinking protein powder for all of those 250 grams. You know? We need real food
13:41Speaker 2and rich protein sources. So you wanna keep getting lean. I say you take 5 mg
13:48Speaker 2of Retta a week. That's great. I don't think you need any more. Hey,
13:52Speaker 2it sounds like you're taking it once a week. If you want,
13:55Speaker 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
14:05Speaker 2that's the case, then split that 5 mix
14:08Speaker 23 times, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I would add I mean, frankly, like,
14:13Speaker 2I mean, it's kind of the same old thing. Like, you it's time to add some peptide fatbergs. Right?
14:17Speaker 2Sloop to help nutrient partitioning and endurance.
14:22Speaker 2Yeah. Especially nutrient partitioning, I would take
14:25Speaker 2AOD
14:26Speaker 2to burn fat. I guess the biggest thing, but the 1st thing is you wanna lose fat, not muscle. So I would get on growth.
14:34Speaker 2Either HGH, low dose, like, 2 I use a day, or the secretagog, Tesamorelin,
14:39Speaker 2and Ipamorelin blend. Yeah. For you, that'd be the best 1 because it's really trying to the Tesamorelin to help burn body fat. And then SLU-5AOD
14:48Speaker 2to help shuttle that fat into the mitochondria.
14:52Speaker 25 amino 1 MQ. That's what I meant was shuttling the the fat in the mitochondria. It's 5 5 amino.
14:58Speaker 2So SLU-5Amino
15:00Speaker 2AOD on top of the Retta. Keep doing your test and maybe some secretagog.
15:05Speaker 2So, yeah, if money isn't an issue, that's what I would do.
15:09Speaker 2As far as the lifts, dude, I do think you need to
15:13Speaker 2still lift heavy, do compound lifts that you're used to,
15:16Speaker 2but with very little break in between. So we're not going for, like, to set records in the gym, but,
15:22Speaker 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,
15:32Speaker 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, all the oxygen and everything come back in you so 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,
15:51Speaker 2calories are burnt.
15:55Speaker 1Dude, I Little bit of a Mike Mike Mitscher type type approach. You don't do it as short as him, but Yeah. But I always I 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 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 Yeah. It's true. So I don't know. That it seems like
16:25Speaker 2you can add in any 1 of those. I think that I don't know. AOD
16:30Speaker 2is probably the 1st 1 I would add in, but I would definitely add in some growth to keep preserved muscle
16:35Speaker 2as you burn a bunch of fat.
16:37Speaker 2Yep. Got it. 230 pounds of 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 wants to get down to? He probably He said he wants to lose 50 more pounds of Okay. Body
16:54Speaker 1So, yeah,
16:55Speaker 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,
17:07Speaker 1Reta. They run perfectly together.
17:11Speaker 1So
17:12Speaker 1we'll set it, but let me just kind of piggyback.
17:14Speaker 1Obviously, the Reta 5 megs is good. I don't think that you need to increase, like he said, maybe stretch it out, like he said, AOD in the morning,
17:22Speaker 1HGH in the morning, 2 I use for sure. Gosh, I hate to kinda keep using your sub, but 5 of me now. Here's where I'll change though.
17:30Speaker 1I will change in midday NAD,
17:33Speaker 1I would say around 02:00,
17:34Speaker 1give you a little energy boost.
17:37Speaker 1And at nighttime,
17:38Speaker 1I will say GHK-
17:41Speaker 1or what you could do is the glow
17:44Speaker 1and throw in the, you know, the TB-five 100 and the BPC, because I know you're gonna be achy.
17:50Speaker 1That's just the way it is because you're getting 38 and you've lifted heavy.
17:54Speaker 1And Tesamorelin,
17:55Speaker 1Ipamorelin blend.
17:57Speaker 1So I think you should add that in as secretagoggin
18:00Speaker 1night. Will and I've
18:01Speaker 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
18:16Speaker 1a secretagogue? Probably not,
18:18Speaker 1but it will still help
18:20Speaker 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. I
18:28Speaker 1think you should try a lot of different exercises and see what fits for you. And it's tricking the body. I hit every muscle twice a week.
18:37Speaker 1I have a main muscle, so I'll hit chest and then either a bicep or a tricep. I switch it up.
18:44Speaker 1Obviously shoulders and then traps,
18:48Speaker 1back and triceps,
18:50Speaker 1obviously legs and calves,
18:52Speaker 1but I do a main muscle heavy,
18:54Speaker 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.
19:02Speaker 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,
19:08Speaker 1that's what I do and I get each muscle hit twice a week and that works well for me. I love it.
19:14Speaker 1Sometimes I do 12 reps and I'll do more of that. And sometimes I'll go heavy. Like today, dude, I felt good. I got some good sleep in the last couple of days and I sleep like shit usually. So, 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,
19:31Speaker 1so I did lighter, just slower on the biceps.
19:34Speaker 1So maybe try that. And I'm going to throw this in, in regards to
19:38Speaker 1what's your diet?
19:40Speaker 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.
19:46Speaker 1You can be very simple and just
19:49Speaker 1try to do Monday through Friday,
19:52Speaker 1intermittent fasting,
19:54Speaker 1eat from 12 to 08:00,
19:56Speaker 1just 5 days a week, Saturday and Sunday,
19:59Speaker 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,
20:08Speaker 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, you'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.
20:25Speaker 1So try the fasting. I love it. And
20:30Speaker 0Low energy, unfocused,
20:32Speaker 0foggy. You might be dehydrated. Gatorade
20:36Speaker 00 powders have been scientifically designed to help improve hydration balance in the body with a clinically proven electrolyte blend and no artificial colors or flavors. Great tasting hydration no matter where you're going. Shop now online or at retailers nationwide. Gatorade
20:51Speaker 0hydrates better than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. It's 1 of my favorite things. So try that. Especially because you are you were 345,
21:04Speaker 2and 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
21:12Speaker 2liver, and, like, it was constantly being used. 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.
21:23Speaker 2Everybody in the ancient world knew, like, this is gonna be good. Like, our finally, our liver gets to clean itself out. Right? So you've probably done some metabolic Digestion takes 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
21:42Speaker 2fasting 100%, I think, will do a It's long long
21:45Speaker 1like you've been a power lifter and again,
21:48Speaker 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.
22:14Speaker 145 already. Salutation. Yeah. Make it 95.
22:18Speaker 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
22:33Speaker 2pounds, and now I'm 2 12
22:35Speaker 2with my goal being 1 65.
22:38Speaker 2Okay. Wait. Yeah. Okay. 1 65. Sorry. I take 1 dose of 0.5
22:44Speaker 2mg every 6 days with my recent dose of 0.75
22:48Speaker 2mg.
22:49Speaker 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
22:57Speaker 2mg, which is if 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, Tessa Ipa.
23:16Speaker 2Would any of these be a good thing or add? Should I just stick with Retis since I just started? Thank you, and really, really appreciate you too.
23:23Speaker 2I guess the 1st thing, like,
23:25Speaker 2I guess the general rule in the GLP is is
23:29Speaker 2you wanna take the lowest effective dose. Sure. K? So we don't want to just
23:35Speaker 2blow your tolerance out because you inevitably will build a tolerance. So guys, you inevitably will need to slowly
23:42Speaker 2tie trade up.
23:44Speaker 2But essentially like, hey, you want you want it to work. Right? And so it sure sounds like as far as Reta goes to, like, you're getting
23:50Speaker 2the benefits.
23:51Speaker 2Upping it now would potentially just increase side effects and not
23:55Speaker 2do much more.
23:57Speaker 2Although
23:58Speaker 2if 0.75
24:00Speaker 2of a milligram is
24:02Speaker 2what you're taking, that's awfully low, right? Remember, like starting dose is 2.5
24:06Speaker 2mg a week.
24:10Speaker 2And you started at 0.65
24:12Speaker 2mg. So or 0.5
24:14Speaker 2every 6 days. So 0.5 mg. That's 0.5 a milligram. So Nothing. Let's make sure. I don't know which Retta you have, but imagine if you had
24:23Speaker 210 mg Retta, you added 1 mil of water. K?
24:27Speaker 2Then 10 units 10 units would be a full milligram. So are you taking 5
24:34Speaker 2point are you taking 5 units
24:36Speaker 1once a week? Is that where you started? Under the 1st little blind? Right. That's like a little bit. Nothing.
24:42Speaker 2It's 1.05 of them. It sounds like, yeah, think that's what she's taking. But if that's what you're taking and it's working,
24:48Speaker 2so there that's all I can say is there's the rules. Like, I still,
24:52Speaker 2if you told me that it wasn't working as good, I would say, yes, bump up.
24:56Speaker 2I would also say, I don't know. Generally, here's the I gen we generally I would say start.
25:03Speaker 2I tell people to do this, my friends,
25:06Speaker 2to start at, like, 1 milli MIG Monday,
25:09Speaker 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 they, you know, really start to feel it, then they need to slightly go up by 0.5 mig increments. So
25:22Speaker 2but everybody is different. So you just be you and you feel it out. That's all I can really say on that 1.
25:30Speaker 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.
25:40Speaker 2All the other stuff, KPV. Like, why do you wanna take Contessa Ipka KPV?
25:44Speaker 2I almost think if this Reta 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,
25:52Speaker 2take KPV. Yep. By all means, do it. If you don't,
25:57Speaker 2I don't I don't see the reason why. So KPV, my my girl has been deal dealing with
26:02Speaker 2heartburn, like bad indigestion. She didn't know what it was. Right? She's always
26:07Speaker 2like, do I have cancer?
26:09Speaker 2Like, no. You don't have cancer. If you do, go to think you do, then let's go to a doctor. But
26:13Speaker 2I was like, take these Tums. So Tums kinda help. But basically, all that stuff, she has now taken KPV,
26:20Speaker 2and it's all gone. Really?
26:22Speaker 2Because,
26:23Speaker 2you know, it's all occurring here in the gut. Yeah. Right? All it's like Really really thought that that makes rises up Yeah. Yeah. For, you know, heartburn. That's good. Yeah. Anyway and women a lot of women have gut issues. So KPV, cool. Tessa Ipamorelin will really help retain muscle. I think as as a woman trying to lose a bunch of weight,
26:40Speaker 2here, 1 of the biggest things is you lose weight, but you lose fat and muscle at the same time, which then slows your metabolism and it makes it harder to lose more weight. So by taking tesapia at a low dose, maybe 502
26:53Speaker 2hundred 50 I would almost start at 250 micrograms of each,
26:56Speaker 2is a great idea. It'll help you keep your muscle, which helps keep metabolism fast. And obviously the test is gonna burn belly fat.
27:03Speaker 2So I would say that would help you in your weight loss journey to take KPV if you have any gut issues. Yeah. Great. KPV cannot hurt. KPV in an injection or a pill?
27:15Speaker 2Either. Whenever you get trans on, I think that so my girl's taking an injection, and it has helped. So That's right. That's a good idea. I get heartburn all the time. Never really thought about using that. That's great. That and and,
27:25Speaker 2I mean, shoot, for autoimmune disorders, that's a lot of them are are current are starting really in the gut and also
27:33Speaker 2allergic reactions.
27:36Speaker 1Yeah, I don't think I think
27:38Speaker 1KPV
27:39Speaker 1can 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
27:48Speaker 1oils are destroying our gut biome. I mean, just destroying our gut biome. Now, KPV is not gonna radically fix it because just the food that because we continue to eat the shitty food, but like, it's great. KPV is great. I
28:01Speaker 1go through cycles and I'm back using KPV
28:04Speaker 1with my other peptides and I think it's great.
28:07Speaker 1So yeah, I think that's awesome. I definitely might have a little bit of a different opinion on that is I'm going to say that I would definitely go up on Loretta. I
28:16Speaker 1think that you should obviously get away with less is more for sure, but you are on such a low dose.
28:22Speaker 1I would say 0.5
28:24Speaker 1megs
28:26Speaker 1Monday, Wednesday, Friday. You have a lot of weight that you want to lose, and I think that's still such
28:31Speaker 1a low dose.
28:33Speaker 1So I would try that. And like Will said, you can always go down. Try it a week, try it 2 weeks, and then you have to also
28:39Speaker 1know that your body starts to acclimate and it knows this new
28:44Speaker 1compound is in your body and it takes a little while for your body to catch up to all this stuff. So
28:50Speaker 1that's what I would say. So 0.5 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
28:54Speaker 1In regards to the Tesa Ipamorelin,
28:57Speaker 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.
29:14Speaker 1You know, I know it's a peptide podcast,
29:16Speaker 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?
29:23Speaker 1I did a post today because I felt like I needed it to the degree of just when,
29:28Speaker 1you know, Will and I just, what we do and just the people that we come across,
29:32Speaker 1we were, he and I were talking about it. That's why I kind of put a reel together where I actually didn't think I posted it yet, but I filmed it.
29:38Speaker 1But Reta is not a
29:40Speaker 1it's amazing.
29:42Speaker 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 Retta 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 better and get better habits.
30:05Speaker 1And we do see that a lot where people don't try to improve those things. But if you use Retatrutide
30:12Speaker 1in the proper form, meaning eat better, start to form better habits, exercise
30:17Speaker 1if you don't exercise and you start to
30:20Speaker 1it works 10 times better.
30:22Speaker 1There's so many people that just want a magic pill, so to speak, and they want to take Retrutide and not be hungry.
30:29Speaker 1And why is it not working? It's not working because I'm
30:33Speaker 1still hungry.
30:34Speaker 1It is working. It is a damn scientific breakthrough. You're not supposed to not be hungry. Retrutide
30:40Speaker 1is 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 Retatr, I never left food on my plate. Now my wife 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,
31:02Speaker 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 and I hope that people
31:12Speaker 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 you, 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
31:32Speaker 2and, like, forces you to eat small frequent meals. So
31:38Speaker 1but still But if you wanna have the kids, you're gonna pay the money. Absolutely. Work it properly. Yeah. For sure. You know what I mean? For sure. Alright. Am I up? Yeah.
31:46Speaker 1Sure.
31:47Speaker 2Alright.
31:48Speaker 1Had a great question for you guys. I wanna see if you can give me your opinion on the situation.
31:53Speaker 1I would like to start my mother on Better Chew Tie to help her get healthy and lose some weight
32:00Speaker 1and more than anything, help her change her lifestyle. Boom. She is 59 years old and she is overweight,
32:07Speaker 1dealing with a
32:09Speaker 1little high blood pressure. And 1 of our problems,
32:12Speaker 1And 1 of the problems that we deal with is
32:16Speaker 1thyroid problems. Her doctors are telling her not to use it because it can cause her cancer because of the thyroid problems.
32:25Speaker 1Really looking forward to you guys' opinion on the situation. I think it would help her a lot on the Reta.
32:31Speaker 1Thanks again. It's a great question.
32:34Speaker 2Yes. I
32:35Speaker 2have a little bit of an answer for you. So these GOPs come with like a boxed warning that says it can in rodent studies,
32:44Speaker 2there has been a slight
32:46Speaker 2risk of like medullary
32:48Speaker 2thyroid cancer.
32:49Speaker 2Okay?
32:51Speaker 2There's been no evidence that ever says that is the same in humans. Right? Also,
32:56Speaker 2there is no evidence that
32:58Speaker 2having like a having hyperthyroid
33:01Speaker 2or hypothyroidism
33:03Speaker 2is any contraindication.
33:05Speaker 2So the question really is,
33:07Speaker 2does she here's the question I would ask is, does she actually have a history of that cancer
33:12Speaker 2of like MEDN2
33:14Speaker 2cancer,
33:15Speaker 2MEN2 cancer?
33:17Speaker 2Probably not. Probably not.
33:19Speaker 2Chances are now, again, I'm not giving 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.
33:31Speaker 2Many How many questions does doctors ask her? I would be curious. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No doubt. I would ask Ret. I would go I would have the doctor well, if I was a doctor, I would ask deeper into this because They don't. That's 1 thing. They probably don't. There's probably this slight box warning. This is rodent studies that might do this, but, like,
33:47Speaker 2I don't think it's gonna really cause
33:49Speaker 2cause that cancer. Now what's the risk to the reward here? But that's the other thing. It's like my mother,
33:54Speaker 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 it's overweight? And in 15 years,
34:05Speaker 2she maybe develops cancer. Is she about to die anyway of natural causes anyway? And great. She has a great 15 more years. Right. I don't know. Personally, it 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.
34:18Speaker 2Right? You ain't doing much right now. You know? Shit.
34:22Speaker 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 I mean? Yeah. So It is so fun. I don't know, dude. I I think that that I would absolutely say, hey. Is there a Yeah. Does you have it? Is there a family history?
34:37Speaker 2Then there's the like, the cardiovascular benefits of of of this are huge, especially for an ordinary person.
34:43Speaker 2And although it does say that I know we know this in Reta, like, it's been something that's held it back from from being approved
34:52Speaker 2is that there is this risk that it can kinda increase your heart rate. Right? But the benefit of that for somebody who's an overweight individual
35:01Speaker 2Huge is huge. Huge. So
35:04Speaker 0no. That ultimately,
35:06Speaker 2this is a you question. Right? But frankly,
35:11Speaker 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. She's 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?
35:22Speaker 1But
35:23Speaker 1we know that it's going to work. She's going to lose
35:26Speaker 1weight and that can't be a bad thing.
35:29Speaker 1What 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. I So wouldn't even talk to that doctor because I bet that doctor didn't ask. Like, I say this a lot, but like, let's slow
35:42Speaker 1down and be logical for a 2nd because people are always like risks
35:45Speaker 1and this and cancer and all this stuff. Well, how about your Doritos?
35:49Speaker 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 Retatrutide because Retrutide is gonna bring the weight down and that can't be a bad thing. Like, it can't. Like, nothing's perfect.
36:07Speaker 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
36:19Speaker 1because if that doctor wasn't and he's talking about the Retrutide,
36:23Speaker 1find a different doctor. Like, if these doctors aren't talking about diet and different things and stuff,
36:29Speaker 1you know I mean? Mhmm. They gotta know that stuff. They don't get they don't get trained on on diet, though. Terribly in on diet. What do you know? Like, people like, doctors have told people, well,
36:39Speaker 2you know, you might get protein poisoning because you're eating a 100 grams of protein a day. Dude. What?
36:45Speaker 1I always say, look at your doctor. Is he in shape? Then 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 what mean? 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? Yep. Why don't you do it, doc? Why don't you do it? Right.
37:24Speaker 1Okay.
37:24Speaker 2Next.
37:25Speaker 2And love the podcast. I'm 43 year old male, 6 6 foot 2 65.
37:31Speaker 2I'm on week 3 Reta switched from weekly injections
37:35Speaker 2to Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
37:37Speaker 21.5 Migs per. What else should I be taking with it? Pesa,
37:42Speaker 2MOTS-1C, Wolverine, or Glow? I've heard all mentioned to pair with Reta. Appreciate your insights or the
37:49Speaker 2insights.
37:51Speaker 2Well, cool. I guess I'm interested to see
37:54Speaker 2tell us what you think the difference in effect was when from switching from once a week till Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Yeah. Alright?
38:01Speaker 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 I have to assume that the goal is to lose weight. So
38:12Speaker 2Tesamorelin,
38:13Speaker 2absolutely, dude. I think Tesa Ipah blend 100%.
38:16Speaker 2That'll help you burn fat in your stomach. It will help you speed up your metabolism,
38:21Speaker 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
38:28Speaker 2or Glow, like, dude, that stuff so Wolverine or Glow. Glow is basically just Wolverine, which is BPC- TB,
38:35Speaker 2adding GHK-
38:38Speaker 1These are well, do you ever use that for healing? I'm curious. Do you ever use healing? Yeah.
38:43Speaker 1Do you ever use it for healing or do you use just simple
38:47Speaker 2I 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
38:54Speaker 2and Glow for, like, acne.
38:56Speaker 2In fact, we were just talking to somebody about it and saying, like, just started using that and this and GHKCU SNAP-8 serum, And they've had, like, 1 tiny pimple in 1 month, and that's it. Yeah. And they're used to more. This
39:11Speaker 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 GHKCu
39:22Speaker 2for her skin. She loves it. Been GHKCu
39:24Speaker 2is there to to
39:26Speaker 2also somebody is taking it, and it's working for psoriasis,
39:31Speaker 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
39:38Speaker 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
39:46Speaker 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 blow,
39:59Speaker 1It just I just was curious because it seems like a lot of people are taking it. Yeah. And I'm just curious.
40:04Speaker 2I feel like here's here's why I would take it is
40:07Speaker 2I wanna take the Wolverine just because, dude, even just put it in injector in stomach Save me money. I feel so much better. K. So I want that. Mhmm. Also, what the hell? I'll take looking better in my skin. Yeah. Looking better and and, you know, in healing better. So then sure.
40:24Speaker 2I'll take Glow.
40:25Speaker 2And 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.
40:35Speaker 2Right. Right? It's gonna be a better deal, and
40:38Speaker 2you're getting all of them. What do you want? All of them. All of them. Yeah. Yeah. Shit. That's usually my answer. Me. Well, it's morphing into me. How many are taking now? Like, 15? I have a thing tattooed on me. Says, you sure? I'll take 1. Yeah. Or I'll take another. Yeah. How many do you want? All of them. That's been, yeah. It's been my motto to in in my past life to a bad that turned bad.
41:00Speaker 0Low energy, unfocused,
41:02Speaker 0foggy,
41:03Speaker 0you might be dehydrated.
41:05Speaker 0Gatorade 0 powders have been scientifically designed to help improve hydration balance in the body. With a clinically proven electrolyte blend and no artificial colors or flavors. Great tasting hydration no matter where you're going. Shop now online or at retailers nationwide.
41:21Speaker 0Hydrates better than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration.
41:26Speaker 2Consult a health care professional if symptoms persist. You know what mean? But I think it's good nowadays.
41:32Speaker 2Alright.
41:33Speaker 1So, yeah, dude, I don't know for your answer. It's hard to answer that with a we don't know the objectives. Great
41:38Speaker 2for it's to help boost metabolism, boosting your mitochondrial output.
41:43Speaker 2But I would more if we're looking for straight weight loss, I mean, I'm still pointing to AOD, 5 minute 1 on q test
41:50Speaker 2SLU-p.
41:51Speaker 2Yeah.
41:52Speaker 1I'm gonna say, you know, obviously we all wanna burn fat. Right? You're on Retatrutide, so you're trying to lose weight. That's probably the most
41:59Speaker 1obvious here. I'm trying to tone up a bit at the very least. Right? So
42:04Speaker 1again, it always boils down to objectives
42:07Speaker 1because,
42:08Speaker 1know, that's the basic question, but it's a very important question.
42:13Speaker 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
42:24Speaker 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
42:31Speaker 1mitochondria
42:32Speaker 1health, you know, our 2 favorites, Will and I talk about all the time are MOTS-three
42:36Speaker 1going to be SS-thirty 1,
42:38Speaker 1like anti aging,
42:40Speaker 1you know, would be good. And I use NAD plus during the day around 2.
42:45Speaker 1Good for skin, hair, nails, anti aging. I do think it gives me energy,
42:51Speaker 1whether that works or not. I think that it does.
42:53Speaker 1So you could do that. And then at night, you know, for you being 43,
42:58Speaker 1hopefully you're on testosterone replacement or at least go get your blood work done to see where your tests are at.
43:04Speaker 1And then we're
43:05Speaker 1big fans of HGH.
43:07Speaker 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.
43:15Speaker 1So HGH, I think for anybody over 40 is a really good play. It's a long play,
43:21Speaker 1worth the play. It's right alongside TRT
43:24Speaker 1for me. So that would do a lot for you.
43:29Speaker 1Tesamorelin,
43:30Speaker 1like he said at night.
43:32Speaker 1So again, it's really depending on what you're looking to accomplish because that question is so important. If it's brain
43:40Speaker 1function,
43:41Speaker 1if it's
43:42Speaker 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-
43:49Speaker 1L- carnitine, and we could stack the hell out of it if you really wanted, or if you want to 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.
44:04Speaker 1Can I answer that? Yes. Okay. I want to add something. We all get caught up in these questions about the peptides. Okay?
44:11Speaker 2There is no replacing
44:13Speaker 2like effort and
44:15Speaker 2diet and
44:16Speaker 2exercise, all right? So let's just, let's I know we get caught up in like, all right, just answer some of the peptide questions, but like, damn, these peptides are here to amplify
44:25Speaker 2all of the effort.
44:27Speaker 2The effort,
44:28Speaker 2I mean, what I mean is is nutrition
44:30Speaker 2and, lifting weights and exercise. Better humans. Right? And better humans and Changing your lifestyle.
44:36Speaker 2Yes.
44:37Speaker 2It is not gonna replace the effort. It's there to amplify all of that effort that you do. I think that we
44:44Speaker 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
44:53Speaker 2cognizant of 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 matter. You know, you have a week that'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
45:28Speaker 2an hour, 2 hours and 25 minutes maybe
45:32Speaker 2out of
45:33Speaker 2the whole week. That ain't much. Right. So lifestyle If you haven't worked out If you haven't done anything, that's a lot. But what I but lifestyle is like, yo, guess what we do on the weekends? Go hiking, go to the beach, go swimming, go surfing. Right? Like that's lifestyle needs to just change. It needs to be
45:50Speaker 2everything.
45:50Speaker 2Yeah. Your whole thing. If you got a dog, great. Take a walk for 2 hours a day. I mean, what'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,
46:01Speaker 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? The right well, caffeine. What does caffeine do? Well, it restricts your appetite,
46:14Speaker 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
46:26Speaker 2and it's and it's it'll it'll heat you up a bit, which burns more calories just from doing that.
46:31Speaker 2True. So
46:33Speaker 2do lifestyle change. Yeah.
46:35Speaker 0Alright. You're up. Are you? I hope
46:38Speaker 1you guys are good. Biggest fans of you guys. I watch you guys daily in your YouTube channel.
46:43Speaker 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
46:52Speaker 1and AOD.
46:53Speaker 1Started January
46:54Speaker 15
46:56Speaker 1at 03:05,
46:57Speaker 1and right now I'm weighing 2 68.
47:01Speaker 1Ingovation,
47:02Speaker 1been fasting.
47:03Speaker 1There we go. Every day for 24 hours. You watch
47:07Speaker 1our channels there, buddy.
47:09Speaker 11 big meal a day, high protein, high fat,
47:12Speaker 1working out 3 to 4 days a week, been on 3 megs of Retatrutide,
47:17Speaker 1split Monday,
47:19Speaker 1Wednesday, and Friday,
47:20Speaker 1and 1000
47:22Speaker 1micrograms.
47:23Speaker 1So it's a MIG of AOD every day. Split.
47:27Speaker 1Awesome. I love it. I'm going to run this for 16 weeks, but on my last 8 weeks, I'm going to add 5Amino-1MQ
47:35Speaker 1to the cycle.
47:37Speaker 1My question is,
47:39Speaker 1as soon as I'm done with this plan,
47:41Speaker 1start running Tesamorelin,
47:43Speaker 1MOTS- C, NAD, and GHK- CU. I'm going to rest
47:48Speaker 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,
47:58Speaker 1Fat Percent and keep getting healthier.
48:01Speaker 1Haven't felt this great in years. That is awesome.
48:04Speaker 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
48:13Speaker 1Roma
48:14Speaker 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
48:20Speaker 1mean a lot to us, so we're appreciative of that. You want me to take that? Yeah, go ahead.
48:25Speaker 1So
48:26Speaker 1yeah, you're watching.
48:28Speaker 1You're definitely watching. You've been obviously looking at how I eat.
48:33Speaker 1Yeah, I do a lot of the fasting. You're doing that. Let me see. So you're at $30.05,
48:37Speaker 1you're down to $32.68.
48:40Speaker 1Should you switch it up? I mean, everything kind of boils down to Pocketbook,
48:44Speaker 1you know?
48:46Speaker 1Pocketbook obviously plays a role for all of us. I mean, you could add the 5Amino-1MQ
48:51Speaker 1and now and kind of continue on on the fat burner or like a SLU- PP-three
48:56Speaker 132.
48:57Speaker 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
49:05Speaker 1titrated down off of them recently,
49:08Speaker 1but that's not that common for me to do that. So anyways, yeah, you can add in the 50 Five-1MQ
49:13Speaker 1now if you wanna wait. That's fine too. Should you change it to the Tesamot
49:17Speaker 1C NAD and GHK- CU?
49:22Speaker 1Yeah, where did he say his age?
49:24Speaker 2I
49:25Speaker 2don't know.
49:27Speaker 2Don't know if It's
49:28Speaker 1gonna say contingent of 35 years old.
49:31Speaker 135 is a little bit young. In regards to the HGH, I'm always a let's write about the mark where
49:37Speaker 1I would say generally, like, 38 is a no brainer.
49:41Speaker 1100%
49:43Speaker 1go on that HGH.
49:45Speaker 1You don't mention
49:46Speaker 1testosterone
49:47Speaker 1replacement,
49:48Speaker 1but 35
49:50Speaker 1year olds,
49:51Speaker 1have seen very low on testosterone.
49:54Speaker 1So if you have not had your blood work done, I would definitely recommend you go get it and start there.
50:00Speaker 1You're not on testosterone replacement and you are
50:04Speaker 1on this journey, you're going to expedite the process
50:07Speaker 1and your benefits heavily.
50:10Speaker 1So that's,
50:11Speaker 1I'm going to say that we say that often, but it is so true hormone replacement and getting your hormones in line
50:17Speaker 1is vital. It's up there with your diet and exercise that Will and I just talked about. So,
50:23Speaker 1but yeah, I think that your
50:25Speaker 1plan of attack is fairly good. Again, I would still keep some fat burns in there. I mean, do you need to come off Retatrutide?
50:31Speaker 1Not really. We've run some different things where
50:35Speaker 1a lot of things that we've read said it probably shouldn't,
50:38Speaker 1but, 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, whatever,
50:47Speaker 1I stay on a low dose of it no matter what, and I'm pretty lean. So but I 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
50:56Speaker 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.
51:05Speaker 2Yeah, but there's no real, I don't, I don't know if you really need to or want to get off Retta. I don't, I don't think like the stopping that and cycling that 1 is the- Take it down. Is a may is an important thing. You're
51:19Speaker 2I mean, you could titrate down.
51:21Speaker 1But
51:22Speaker 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.
51:28Speaker 2Notice because the goal is to take 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.
51:38Speaker 2If you're going to come off,
51:40Speaker 2wean off.
51:42Speaker 2But I have nothing really to add on that 1. Beautiful.
51:46Speaker 2Okay. Hey, guys. Love your show and straightforward, no BS way of sharing research. Your own experiences and your opinions on peptide use, efficacy,
51:54Speaker 2and safety. Lately, I've been reading a lot about the idea that peptides are dangerous, not the actual peptides.
51:59Speaker 2We know most have been used safely for years,
52:02Speaker 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
52:11Speaker 2bacteria, heavy metals, endotoxins,
52:14Speaker 2etcetera. If this is true, how do we keep ourselves safe
52:17Speaker 2and know that we are choosing the safest product to inject? Is it just the manufacturing process that creates a contamination,
52:23Speaker 2or are some products bought in bulk
52:26Speaker 2and bottled in a different location,
52:28Speaker 2which could add another opportunity
52:31Speaker 2for contamination?
52:32Speaker 2I know you test for purity, but do you okay.
52:36Speaker 2Have you ever tested for cleanliness of peptides
52:40Speaker 2or as well, or is this an exaggerated
52:43Speaker 2concern? Thank you in advance, James.
52:46Speaker 2So, like, yeah, you're right about Great question. That's a great question. More people don't ask you, actually. I I think that you you 1st asked, is the manufacturing the problem,
52:57Speaker 2which which you're assuming is the making of the raw material,
53:01Speaker 2right,
53:02Speaker 2versus
53:03Speaker 2the
53:04Speaker 2bottling, taking that raw material, right, and putting it into vials at different locations. Right. K?
53:11Speaker 2Sure. I think that both so 1st of all, like, no BS answer, like, all of this raw the the manufacturing of the peptides, right, are all done overseas
53:20Speaker 2in China. K? 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 the raws are manufactured here in The United States, they lie to you. Yeah. They lie. Intentionally or unintentionally.
53:38Speaker 2I'm not sure. But That's right. It's still both a problem. The which is still both a problem. So,
53:43Speaker 2yes, I think the manufacturing is done by a few big manufacturers.
53:49Speaker 2My guess is the most of the problems are gonna be the bottling portion. So they take here's the simplified
53:57Speaker 2process,
53:57Speaker 2folks, is they take raw material. Okay? I don't care. And this is what people call made in America, by the way, is buying raw raw product.
54:05Speaker 2Okay? Bringing it here. Okay? Now getting vial, which they bought from China.
54:10Speaker 2True.
54:12Speaker 2Putting powder in, they put this little salt,
54:16Speaker 2like a a salt puck
54:18Speaker 2inside of there, which helps it
54:22Speaker 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 poured powder in here and then poured it back out. Yeah. And now I just have residue. Right? But that actually is the peptide. Salt puck, freeze dry it,
54:40Speaker 2crimp bottle top,
54:42Speaker 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.
54:52Speaker 2I think it totally depends on the actual lab that's doing that. Oh. Right? Or the underground lab or the dude's the dude's garage
55:01Speaker 2that he's doing it in. I guess how are you gonna look for it? Like, by the way, anything that we use, like, we have we we we look at endotoxin tests and
55:11Speaker 2in-depth COAs and have tested things for heavy metals, etcetera, etcetera. We've we have tested and got back some bad
55:19Speaker 2endotoxin heavy metal tests, and we have
55:22Speaker 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,
55:38Speaker 2and I'm still alive. And frankly, I didn't really notice it. So
55:42Speaker 2I think that
55:44Speaker 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, tested my product. Now you should just trust me. And then they send that out. Then they tell the public, here's my test. Right? That's not cool. I know that,
55:59Speaker 2you know, a good company should
56:02Speaker 2great. I wanna see the test on on your raws.
56:05Speaker 2Right?
56:06Speaker 2But I'm also test retesting them, and then we're gonna bottle them in a in a in a clean
56:11Speaker 2lab. Right? And then retest that bottled product. Right. K.
56:16Speaker 2That's how we choose to, yes,
56:19Speaker 2show test. Well, ironically,
56:21Speaker 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 we're
56:29Speaker 1all blessed because we can get peptides fairly easy these days, but we all, there's
56:34Speaker 1a lot of risk to the degree where,
56:36Speaker 1How do I know if I'm using a good company? No 1 doesn't ever fully know, but like,
56:40Speaker 1if 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
56:49Speaker 1has 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
56:59Speaker 1who the company is, if it's something that you can kind of pay attention to, if it's somebody 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.
57:14Speaker 1A larger 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
57:23Speaker 1spending money on something you are going to inject. Now, Will just said,
57:27Speaker 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,
57:49Speaker 2we had there's a company in San Diego that's been testing
57:52Speaker 2everything.
57:54Speaker 2They're like DEA certified and HPLC.
57:57Speaker 2You know,
57:58Speaker 2that's all their tests, and they contacted us
58:00Speaker 2early on to to test all of their equipment out because we happen to be close by. But to test their testing equipment. Right?
58:10Speaker 2And without saying too much because I can't, but basically
58:14Speaker 2to test them correctly, they needed 24 bottles. And so, like, that adds up for a company. Yeah,
58:19Speaker 2dude. Just to just to give, right, to Kitforth to get something tested in addition to I mean, I would say these tests to get it tested, on average, it's between 300
58:31Speaker 2to $700.
58:32Speaker 2I know this for a fact. So
58:35Speaker 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.
58:43Speaker 2That's why the costs are higher. That's why the costs are higher. So then I 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
58:52Speaker 2company? I what I wouldn't do is test so here's the thing. A lot of these, like, Trustpilot and
58:59Speaker 2a lot of these
59:01Speaker 2companies that are out there, they they grade different online companies
59:06Speaker 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
59:22Speaker 2company because you're not using Visa or Master Card. 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
59:32Speaker 2about 20%. So every single dollar they make, 20%, goodbye. Yeah. Alright. Well, you'll see 10% of that. There's more costs.
59:40Speaker 2So that's why you're see a lot of them just do Venmo,
59:43Speaker 2Zelle,
59:44Speaker 2blah blah blah, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of
59:48Speaker 2the product. But I just, I know that a lot of those considerations go into those trusting
59:52Speaker 2Choosing. Whatever
59:54Speaker 2grades and that kind of that's too bad for those companies.
59:58Speaker 2You bet. So I don't know, dude. Yeah. Talk to customer service too, man. And like,
1:00:03Speaker 2I don't know. Do they respond? Do they respond? Respond?
1:00:06Speaker 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
1:00:16Speaker 2sell these for human consumption. Yep. But
1:00:19Speaker 1they should at least respond and do the best. There's ways to sell. You can tell if like what companies are worth it and what it's there to read. Don't read
1:00:28Speaker 2the road signs. Do they stand by the products? Do they send you another 1 that gets whatever,
1:00:33Speaker 2broken or damaged, etcetera.
1:00:35Speaker 2Alright. And I do think it is a little bit of an exaggerated concern, like JD said.
1:00:40Speaker 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 said. Working well. It was $7, dude. So Exactly.
1:00:50Speaker 2Alright. Love the pod and the crew. Hearing conflicting suggestions for staying on Reta at low dose of 1.5
1:00:56Speaker 2migs per week after reaching goal weight and titration down. Is it viable to keep running
1:01:02Speaker 2it to continue to be an internal fat burning furnace and to continue to gain benefits metabolically?
1:01:07Speaker 2What's your thoughts? And if yes, suggestion on how long to run it before desensitization.
1:01:13Speaker 2Suggested break and when to restart the same 1.5 mgs dose. Much appreciated, bros. Keep up the good work and the transparency.
1:01:21Speaker 2It means a lot.
1:01:23Speaker 1You 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
1:01:30Speaker 0Low energy, unfocused,
1:01:32Speaker 0foggy.
1:01:33Speaker 0You might be dehydrated.

1:01:50Speaker 0Gatorade hydrates better than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. Be a little bit different again. I I don't I can't tell you how how how long I plan on on
1:02:05Speaker 1being on 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.
1:02:12Speaker 1My experience
1:02:13Speaker 1with it is you definitely
1:02:15Speaker 1lose
1:02:17Speaker 1the,
1:02:19Speaker 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.
1:02:26Speaker 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,
1:02:37Speaker 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
1:02:46Speaker 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.
1:02:53Speaker 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.
1:03:04Speaker 1If you've hit your goal goal,
1:03:06Speaker 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.
1:03:12Speaker 2Right. I think that there is are learning that there's a lot of benefit to Retta, 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.
1:03:23Speaker 2And for, like, meta for metabolic health at a low dose. Okay? At a low, like, maybe even less than 0.5 1.5, like, 1.5 mg a week. Okay. Cool. That's low dose. Yes. I did. I thought that was 3 times a week. But honestly,
1:03:37Speaker 2shoot, I would stay for I'd stay on it. I do stay on it.
1:03:40Speaker 2A little bit lower than that, right, for my brain health and alertness and,
1:03:45Speaker 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.
1:03:54Speaker 2I don't I don't know. Just I don't wanna have to be taking something for that long, but
1:03:59Speaker 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.
1:04:14Speaker 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,
1:04:25Speaker 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. So there is no hard fast rules on this question. There's just really it's just
1:04:42Speaker 2you, but I don't see and we also don't really know long term data. Sorry, there's no data that tells us that 50 years is Right? What it Like, I don't know, but
1:04:50Speaker 2it's a pretty standard metabolic process and we can kind of guess and and forecast what the problems are gonna be long term and they're really
1:04:58Speaker 2pretty good.
1:05:01Speaker 2Yeah, dude, there's no refined fast rule on that 1. Sorry. Alright. You're right. You do. Does that mean? Yeah. I read that 1. Hey, lads. Love your work. Love the potty. You must be from Australia
1:05:11Speaker 1down in India. I love the potty. I've
1:05:15Speaker 1been smashing it the last few weeks as I'm diving deep into the peps, looking for your opinion. I'm an endurance dad athlete
1:05:22Speaker 1looking to better my physique,
1:05:25Speaker 1gain muscle, strip fat, and endurance overall, and sometimes struggle in the distance stuff
1:05:32Speaker 1as I just can't eat enough fuel. Current running 4 times per week and the gym 5 times a week.
1:05:40Speaker 1So looking for, what you would think for best stat currently running Retta 1.5
1:05:46Speaker 1megs weekly split up to Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Awesome. 1 meg of Wolverine nightly, CJC Ipam, nightly,
1:05:53Speaker 15 Amino,
1:05:54Speaker 12.5 megs daily, and just started HGH2
1:05:58Speaker 1IUs daily.
1:06:00Speaker 1Should I run HGH in the night
1:06:02Speaker 1and move CJC
1:06:03Speaker 1to the morning? You should definitely switch that. I'm pretty new to all this,
1:06:08Speaker 1but diving in hard. I've got a few other available to me now like Tessa, MOTS-1.0, AOD-1L-4.1
1:06:14Speaker 1Ipah.
1:06:15Speaker 1I would love your thoughts, please. You guys are legends.
1:06:19Speaker 1That is a big thing in Australia. Legends. They say legends often. I didn't just say, like, legend. You wanna take that? Great.
1:06:25Speaker 2Yeah. Sure. Cool. So 1st I would say, are you taking any testosterone?
1:06:30Speaker 2And for a low for for an endurance person,
1:06:33Speaker 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.
1:06:47Speaker 2But if you do take tests, like, keep it low dose because a lot of it isn't good on your endurance.
1:06:54Speaker 2But
1:06:55Speaker 2also the RET, I don't know if you need, you know, you're diving in deep, but like, damn, you're working hard. Right? Yeah.
1:07:01Speaker 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.
1:07:27Speaker 2I think the growth is perfect to use. You need that for your recovery. Like, so your body's just gonna get beat up. It's that's what I'm seeing.
1:07:36Speaker 2And hard work
1:07:37Speaker 2means your body gets beat up. Right? Everybody looks great. I almost guarantee it doesn't has a lot of injuries.
1:07:43Speaker 2You don't need to say feel great
1:07:47Speaker 2in the small joint areas.
1:07:49Speaker 2All of those other things,
1:07:51Speaker 2I think what JD said is is do do the do the HGH in the morning, the security dogs at night. K? HGH in the morning or, yeah, 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?
1:08:13Speaker 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,
1:08:22Speaker 2but I would, you know, picks pick 0.5 of these.
1:08:26Speaker 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
1:08:34Speaker 2helping repair your body after you work really hard and burn off a lot of good nutrients
1:08:39Speaker 2and vitamins and minerals, etcetera,
1:08:43Speaker 2that'll keep you healthy. Right? Our immune system is down too, like, when we at the peak time of exercise
1:08:51Speaker 2or right after, after we've used everything.
1:08:53Speaker 2So
1:08:55Speaker 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, you having a problem not getting enough calories, could pull out the Retta. You can add in like a SLU-332,
1:09:08Speaker 1that's going be good for dirts anyway. And
1:09:11Speaker 1then, or if you want to stay on the Retta, just add an MK-677
1:09:14Speaker 1if you can get it. I don't know how that is in Australia, if that's where you're from. Cause Yeah. They offset each other well.
1:09:20Speaker 1You will eat more even on the Retta. I'd know that with experience.
1:09:25Speaker 1That will help you kind of offset. The Retta will still do what the Retta do, and 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-six 77
1:09:37Speaker 2there. For sure. That's good. Actually, good point. You said you have access to Ipamorelin. I actually, like, take a decent amount of Ipamorelin if you can't get MK. So the same thing. Right? Those those work the same way through that ghrelin
1:09:51Speaker 2receptor pathway, which in turn boosts your hunger. Now MK
1:09:56Speaker 2turns on your it makes your pulses not be pulses, but just Oh. Fuck, just steady rush of growth. Yeah. Whereas Ipah increases the heck out of your pulses,
1:10:07Speaker 2but they're all done through that ghrelin receptor. So I think the Ipah will be very helpful if you can't get to MK. Yeah. Love it. Yeah. But keep I don't know, dude. Keep kicking butt. Yeah. Take us home, dude. Alright. Hi, guys. I love the podcast. I've been using some peptides.
1:10:22Speaker 2Glow, MOTS-three,
1:10:24Speaker 2Epitalon,
1:10:25Speaker 2and Reta,
1:10:26Speaker 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 bicuspid aortic valve. My goal is to put off
1:10:39Speaker 2a valve replacement as long as I can. I've talked to a couple of functional doctors and they agree the peptides I am using could possibly help.
1:10:48Speaker 2My question is about Cardiogen.
1:10:51Speaker 2Oh, I 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 MOTS-three. All right. I don't know. So so this 1, I I'm I'm afraid 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. K?
1:11:14Speaker 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,
1:11:24Speaker 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.
1:11:32Speaker 2And
1:11:34Speaker 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-31 and MOTS-1Mozzi is better for you. It's better for this problem.
1:11:45Speaker 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 MOTS-E 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.
1:12:01Speaker 2That's a lot to like,
1:12:03Speaker 2but I wouldn't do any less than 5 Migs a day.
1:12:06Speaker 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
1:12:14Speaker 2all this energy and everything is made MOTS-seventy is boosting your mitochondrial energy. Right? This is kinda like the your engine.
1:12:22Speaker 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.
1:12:31Speaker 2So 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
1:12:40Speaker 2that's
1:12:41Speaker 2very, very, very important. Yeah.
1:12:45Speaker 2And I think that would help the
1:12:47Speaker 2your cardiovascular
1:12:49Speaker 2support
1:12:50Speaker 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.
1:12:58Speaker 2I think that somebody who is potentially
1:13:00Speaker 2very deficient like we talked about and and and just happens to be that 1 1 in 1000 cases, like, or maybe more
1:13:07Speaker 2that needs that 1 little thing, you take it that could do miracles. So
1:13:11Speaker 2but again, I don't have enough research to even give you a recommendation on that. Yeah. That's like- can only give you my experience with certain things, and I
1:13:20Speaker 1don't know
1:13:21Speaker 1what entails a replacement valve in 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
1:13:41Speaker 1much trying to like put it in my bottom part of my leg with the nerve and my butt just, I did my best.
1:13:47Speaker 1Peptides are amazing, but they just, they're not magic, you know? So
1:13:52Speaker 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, might as well just kind of get it done, heal, and keep kicking ass.
1:14:07Speaker 1That's my take.
1:14:09Speaker 1I
1:14:11Speaker 1don't know what the recovery time is. Happy for your doctor who said that pepatides are probably a good play.
1:14:15Speaker 1Good for them. They're starting to
1:14:18Speaker 1come around to the fact that they better jump on the ship or the ship is going through the.
1:14:22Speaker 0We'll leave you at the dock. Western medicine.
1:14:24Speaker 0Bye.
1:14:26Speaker 1Love you, doctors. We get a lot them coming on. And then also, so we're gonna throw us out an end on this. So we have, man, this podcast has come a damn long way and we love it. We enjoy it. It's 1 some of the favorite things that we do. And,
1:14:39Speaker 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 too. Sometimes we talk about TRT because we love it.
1:14:49Speaker 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 a little premature, but we wanted your thoughts. We were thinking maybe adding another
1:15:06Speaker 1podcast, so that'd be 3 a week for this podcast
1:15:09Speaker 1and adding a
1:15:10Speaker 1guest of the week, maybe a doctor or a nurse practitioner or somebody in the realm of what we do. We are having a friend of ours on who does my Botox and,
1:15:22Speaker 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,
1:15:30Speaker 1maybe next week we're going to have her on. The reason we want to have her on, she does, hormone pellets,
1:15:35Speaker 1testosterone pellets. We talk a lot about that for men,
1:15:39Speaker 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. She'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 Joe. Alright, we've gone long. So we love you guys. We will see you next time. Good night.
