0:09Speaker 0Welcome back to the pep title week podcast. I'm your host JD Denham. As always across the way,
0:34Speaker 0Since I've known him, he stays in shape and I'm like, dude, fasting. And I'm doing all this stuff. Funny because, so I sleep like shit. I'll tell you a funny story. So I sleep like shit.
0:45Speaker 009:00, like clockwork. Last night I got a massage after work and was so tired. My wife was such a rad human. She's all go to bed. I went to bed at like 08:00, right?
0:55Speaker 0Crash out 12:30. I'm wide awake. I'm like, dude, what is going on here? I wake up like all the time, like 4 hours, you know, I go downstairs,
1:03Speaker 0I'm sitting in my office. I'm like, I'm going to, I'm going to chat GPT this. Why do I always wake up like 4 hours So after I
1:16Speaker 0only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep and I'm like, that's it. Duh. There we go. Just joking. I'm obviously playing everybody, but pretty funny. Gets 3 to 4 hours is old people.
1:46Speaker 0pushing 50. If it's still, I mean, I'm I feel pretty good. Yeah. But I will tell you what's funny in life is, you feel young. Yeah. Right. All of sudden, I think when you're like 67, you still feel young. You're like, you're still thinking you're 18, but you're like getting old.
2:03Speaker 1Life just turns on you, dude. It's really weird. Like still a part of me that, yeah, I feel like I'm- Things are young? Right. Yeah. Look at these little kids and they're or they'll call me like an old guy. And I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? In my brain. But now I'm like, holy shit. I guess I am. I can't believe it. You know, they also said I had always thought, I'm like, man, it's weird. I feel like
2:34Speaker 1I'll feel like I look the same. I look the same for months, months, months. And then 1 day I look in the mirror, I'm like, wait a minute. Yeah. Or on TV. Right? Watching like a, I don't know,
2:43Speaker 1sports center. Right? You've seen the same anchors all the time. It seems 3 months ago for the last 10 years, 3 and then 3 months later, I'm like, how'd you age that much? I looked up, looked that up, and it's a 100% true. It is not linear. Like, you go through yeah. There's like big jumps, and it's not determined by anything. There's no natural there's no rhythm to it. But yeah. Some weeks There is just some days. Yeah. We just age
3:09Speaker 1The, like, molecular level. Right? A bunch of little things have to happen, right, building up to that age change. And only at that last 2nd when that last little amino acid just finally clicks into place,
3:25Speaker 0makes sense. But yeah. However, like what we talked about, so we usually record the Q and A on Tuesday. Today's Wednesday, but we we had a good friend of ours come in, Lee, will this 1, that 1 will drop on Monday.
3:39Speaker 0We talked about the testosterone replacement for you ladies and some other stuff and how to take care of yourself. My point of that is this, like you can age so good, like you can so slow down
4:01Speaker 0definitely plays a role in it. I have noticed, I don't know if you ever noticed this, but up when I,
4:07Speaker 0I, it compounds for like Monday to about Thursday night because I get about 4 hours of sleep. And by Thursday night though, I'm exhausted. Yeah.
4:21Speaker 1Try to, I've often thought and the weekend's like, man. And I do like last Sunday night, I was here at work till 10:30PM.
4:32Speaker 1work 7 days. Yeah. But not you know, so you just don't get out of out of a rhythm, especially as I get older, it's hard to,
4:39Speaker 1get into 1 rhythm and then switch gears. So like on the weekend, the weekends were like, alright, dude, no work focus. Like let's focus family and having fun because we need it. Our brains will come back and be better during the Workday if we actually give them a break. But
4:57Speaker 0United States is the only country that doesn't like really nourish that type of stuff. Meaning taking, don't like, they kind of frown upon taking vacations to a degree where other countries like know that if they know that if you pay your people well and they go on vacation, they come back.
5:14Speaker 0Yeah, you're You're right about that. Very, very, very true. But today is a Q and A episode.
5:21Speaker 0We scan through them and again, we will be redundant for a reason. We no longer sit and talk to them 1st. We read them separately and then we come to you with our own answers so they're more organically ours.
5:35Speaker 0today's a Q and A. I scanned through them. They're fairly easy for the most part, but good ones. Good ones. Yes. You wanna kick the sockets So
5:59Speaker 1Unfortunately. I want to lean out to a RIP 200 active gym 5 to 6 times a week. I wanna lean out,
6:06Speaker 1to a RIP 200. Okay? I'm active. I do the gym 5 to 6 days a week. Currently on Reta 4 mg a week total,
6:18Speaker 1I'm going to be adding Clo once I'm done my individual vials. I wanna see more fat disappear, but also mindful of budget. I'm having a toss-up with the Ipamorelin,
6:35Speaker 1showing your face through the pods. Cheers, Jared. Right on, dude. That's awesome. I love that stuff. And that's a dangerous job and good for you, man.
6:43Speaker 0I think that's almost every every kid's dream, man. At 1 point, fireman? Jeez. Every kid at 1 point, think, wants to be a fireman. I so I'm assuming he's obviously gonna go from the GHK- CU BPC
6:54Speaker 0-2.2 The Clo. Yeah. So, good, I wanted to make sure you read it like that as well. I'll take this because it's a matter of opinion. I think we might have a different 1 on this.
7:03Speaker 0I'm going to go with AOD for sure. If you had to choose, I'm having a toss-up with the Ipamorelin,
7:10Speaker 0If you're trying to burn fat, I just think the AOD is amazing. I love it. I mean, I like this Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin as well. Like I said, you could take both if you can't afford it. If you had to choose, I would definitely say AOD.
7:22Speaker 0I love it. Doesn't increase your IGF-one and it just burns fat. The Reta and the AOD together are
8:12Speaker 1Portion because of all the other benefits and the fat burning and just general overall metabolic,
8:19Speaker 1if we want some more just real fat burning, Retta, there's nothing better than that. So maximize that. Take more than 4 megs, you're saying? Take more than 4 megs. He didn't take this to talk about TRT. Don't
8:36Speaker 0so that's on the border. Like, bro, you I think that's I think these days, I think 35 is now. Definitely
8:51Speaker 1year olds now coming back under 300. It's crazy. You are on, if you're 35 and under 3 100, right. But that's a generalization.
9:02Speaker 1but still there are plenty of 35 year olds out there who have healthy testosterone. And
9:09Speaker 0But it is maybe time to look at that. I think it's cool if we, kind of throw this out there for the people that are listening, because you guys are such good questions and we're so stoked that you like the show.
9:20Speaker 0And also if you can maybe tell us a little bit, if you're on TRT, if you're not on TRT, if your testosterone's
9:29Speaker 0as we've talked about numerous times, if your hormones aren't in line, that's going to play the biggest role in
9:35Speaker 0all of it. So it's good to know that stuff. You guys hear this and ask a question, let us know if your testosterone is good. If you do know it's good, then let us know that because that'll
9:57Speaker 1public servants, right? Firefighters write a debt of gratitude, hit us up. Can tell you how to get, how to help your budget a little bit. That's right. Good stuff. All right.
10:06Speaker 0Hey guys, I love the podcast. I listen to every minute of every episode because regardless of the actual topics listed in the titles,
10:15Speaker 0you always add a ton of additional interesting and useful information. Awesome. Appreciate that.
10:22Speaker 0and I expected that you guys are very real, honest, and relatable. Speaking of more, the reason I write today is I feel like I'm going overboard.
10:43Speaker 0Like everyone else, I started with BPC- TB-five hundred, yep, which helped heal a major elbow shoulder issue.
11:37Speaker 0As a no, you have access and tons of knowledge. How do you guys manage this situation? Great question, man. Free. Interesting
11:45Speaker 0question. I thought that was a great 1. I'd rather I'll start it off. Don't mind. Please do. It's difficult, man. We, especially when I 1st kind of started and kind of doing what we do, it's like a kid in a candy store
12:01Speaker 0So yeah, it can be kind of difficult. I mean, I always really kind of just boil it down to,
12:21Speaker 0for NAD, it stings the hell out of him. It's never like that for me. I'd never had a problem with it. It doesn't sting.
12:28Speaker 0I even know as we kind of go down through some of these questions, people are talking about AOD stinging. I've never had AOD sting once. So everybody's different is the point. So I would say try them. I would say,
12:39Speaker 0I don't know what Will is gonna say, but I think I might, meaning, I think Heath likes to kind of keep them in buckets of 4.
12:46Speaker 0How I like to do it is I like to run a lot of fat burners because I just like to stay lean. So I'm always doing like an AOD,
13:07Speaker 0a lot for long periods just because of the fat burning ones. When it comes to the other ones, I kind of break them up a little bit. For example,
13:16Speaker 0if I want to really focus on the mitochondria type stuff, then I'll do, I'll really focus on the MOTS-1C and SS 31 for a bit,
13:29Speaker 0When it comes to Semax and the Selank, I've never been someone that's super stressed out,
13:35Speaker 0but I do want to try those from time to time. I have ran those. So I run those separately. When I take, when I, when if I add those in, I take out the MOTS-three and the SS-thirty 1
13:54Speaker 0But I always have the fat burners for the most part because I just love looking lean and feeling lean and those are always kind of in in my repertoire, but, that's what I do. It's definitely hard when you, you know, you're a kid in a candy store and they're easy to get
14:12Speaker 0But that's how I do it. I've been I'm actually kinda curious on your answer on this. Do you keep it about 4? Like You've talked about 4. You kinda I mean, I guess the strategy of how not to
14:29Speaker 1yes, here's 1 strategy is, like, I guess I, above all, I wanna know what the hell is do what is doing what to me. Sure. And that helps me
14:39Speaker 1only do a few things because I know if I've stacked everything on top, right, I'm not quite sure what to attribute those, any of these results to. And
15:06Speaker 1You know? Hey, let's plan it out and not get your curiosity at the better of you. Right? Take note as you read on something. Cool. Take notes on it. Be like, that's the next cycle. Just start planning yourself out every, like, for plan plan out, like, 3 month cycles
15:26Speaker 1And a smaller stack. Now there are some things that you can probably run simultaneously and understand, like, a nootropic and the healing 1.
15:35Speaker 1They're not gonna there's no mistaking like, damn, was it the Semax that you put on elbow? Yeah. Right. Oh, shit. Right? Like, you'll know
15:48Speaker 1and cognition and giving you energy. So Great. Maybe takes polar opposites if you're gonna run a bunch. But
15:55Speaker 1I like the 3 month stacking and planning things out. Just like, how do I eat healthy? Well,
16:01Speaker 111% is like, well, I journal my food. Well, that's not helpful after you eat the Twinkies to write down Twinkies. You know what I mean? Like, what's helpful is to plan out and have the food ready and not have Twinkies on the list.
16:25Speaker 1I would almost say there's a few things you could bump up, but you're at kinda like a good starting dose of everything at 400 mgs or 400 micrograms of CGC IpA.
16:39Speaker 1The GHKC was 2 mgs. And so this is basically CJC, IpA, any of those secretagogues that generally try and start at, like, 500 micrograms and escalate to maybe 1000 micrograms.
17:01Speaker 1daily or 3 times a week. 2.5 to 5, you're at 2. Right? Your Reta is at what? You're thinking about adding it in at 2 Migs a week, starting dose is 2.5.
17:21Speaker 1you're at good moderate doses, but maybe I would lower the amount of peptides per cycle and kind of slowly increase the dose. So you really
17:29Speaker 1And then do them very consistently for 3 months. Right? We know with peptides, you need to be doing,
17:34Speaker 1you need to be consistent and do these things for a long time. It's not like these are not narcotics and they're not steroids. They don't just work.
17:43Speaker 1Besides Reta, everything else. You gotta run it for You gotta, yeah, you gotta run it for a while to really get the best effect. I think the C Max, Selank, DSIP is tough. That's a tough combo, especially the Selank and DSIP. Right? Both of those are kind of peptide and violytics. Right? They're both gonna help calm. If you take both of those at the same time, good luck. You'll have no idea what's doing what.
18:09Speaker 1That's the best I got before you did. I like it. Your question was very thorough, though. Yeah. It was great. I like how you actually explained exactly what you're taking. How often? Good job. Alright. What's
18:38Speaker 1and 12 Migs of MOTS spread out throughout the week. Okay. Then, of course, my BPC TB nightly.
18:47Speaker 1Would that be too big of a stack or would they all run together good? I'm also wanting to take all of my peep peps
18:58Speaker 1but would be taking 6 or 7 shots at the same time. And that would be counterproductive.
19:03Speaker 1Should I split up dosing times being that they are fat burners? Think I would want to take them all before the gym.
19:17Speaker 0question. I think it's great. Again, you asked 45 pounds. That's a lot. So good for you. Keep going.
19:25Speaker 0adding that in too much? I don't think so. I think you got a lot of weight to lose, so I think you can add that in. 5Amino is great. It's going to take your it's going to utilize your fat, you know, and use that for energy. So I love 5Amino. I think it's great.
19:46Speaker 0really kind of fine tuned it because I'm always thinking like, don't want to jab myself 7 times because I did that for a long time and that sucks.
19:54Speaker 0So what I do, and I've continued to fine tune this. I used to keep Reta out and the HCG out, but now you get a brand new bottle. Once you're done with a bottle of A peptide, it doesn't matter what peptide, the bottle's empty, right? Empty bottle.
20:07Speaker 0You have all your peptides, right? You just talked about 5, you have 5 bottles. I do the math usually for 10 units for which 1 I want to do. So the water's based upon that so that I don't have to remember.
20:19Speaker 0So I usually do the math to know 10 units I'm taking of each peptide, right? I'll take out 10 units of the 1st 1 into the bottle, 10 units of the 2nd 1 in the bottle, 10 units of the 3rd 1 into the bottle, all 5 into that bottle,
20:57Speaker 0I can tell you that it works. I will tell you, there'll be some people that disagree with me, whatever. Don't do it then. If you don't think that it works, don't do it. It works. I'm sure of it. So that's how I do it. So that will help you quite a bit. 1 shot. You do not, there's some people that use the same needle and you can put it in. Will
21:15Speaker 0get a little in the bottle. Trust me, I've done that too. And that needle's dull, it will hurt and you will probably get some bumps and whatnot. So that's how I do it, brother. So do that 1 shot, easy peasy.
21:31Speaker 1you say you're in the gym 6 to 7 4 days a week and 24 hour fast daily. Does that mean you eat food ever?
21:38Speaker 1So yeah, I get that quite a bit because people go, that's not, you can't do it 24 hour fast. If
21:46Speaker 0that's 7 days a week of 24 hour fasting. That means you eat 0 food. Day, 1 meal. So you go from like Sunday night at 6PM and then you don't eat till Monday night, 6PM, 1 big meal next
21:59Speaker 0guy. I mean, I don't keep it exact. Like it's 06:07. I can eat. It's been 24 hours. It's like 06:00 every day, every day, 1 meal a day. So I can do that 5 days in a row.
22:09Speaker 0It is technically 24 hour fast. Is it to the tee? Probably not. I don't care. But that's how you do it because I get a lot of shit and a lot of questions like, how do you do that? And like, that's how you do it. Yeah. Yeah. 1 big meal. That makes sense.
22:23Speaker 1to this gentleman is, did you start doing this fasting? I think JD loves fasting, and I think fasting is great and has its place.
22:30Speaker 1But I think that we need to switch some things up and like, cool. If you've lost those 45 pounds,
22:37Speaker 1did you starting that journey coincide with this fasting? Has this fasting been just an integral part of that weight loss?
22:53Speaker 1working great or it has kind of slow stopped working as great as it did, then it may be time to go back to your regular eating. Trick your body. Trick your body. Just get just switch things up. Right? And I mean, regular eating is small portions, especially you need to lose weight like, you know, hey, man, 3 meals a day, heavy protein, but small portions, maybe even 3 to 5 meals a day, but small,
23:19Speaker 1And Retta will help you do that because you can't shouldn't really be able to eat a lot anyway
23:26Speaker 1I would agree with JD what I have found myself doing. I mean, 1 of the worst parts of drawing 7 times in the same needle is
23:34Speaker 1doing that 1 injection after blunting, after dulling it 7 times is probably causing more scar tissue in here than you stabbing yourself 7 separate times with 7 new ones. Hell yeah. Okay.
23:45Speaker 1So those are both counterproductive and hell, hell no. Would not be stabbing myself 5 times a day with a different needle. So I do, I know what he does to make my life a little simpler. I'd take the 1, I draw,
24:02Speaker 1but I go, all right, I know the math on each 1. Right? Let's say I'm supposed to take 20, 30,
24:13Speaker 115. Oh, she did in the same needle. 5. Yep. Same needle. Same needle. Then I grab a brand new guy.
24:28Speaker 1Take the plunger. You know, you don't wanna if you just take the plunger and push it down, it's gonna start squirting water out. So you just kinda hold it loosely towards covering the hole.
24:40Speaker 1then push it in. We should do a video on that. And now it's ready and then do the whole thing.
24:52Speaker 1into that. Dolling it that many times and then putting it You're gonna get a little rash. You're gonna get a rash, you're gonna cause scar tissue, and then it's like permanent stuff hurt. LinkedIn is pretty amazing at helping you grow your small business. We cannot make your email response time faster.
25:07Speaker 3We can help you sell, market, and hire in 1 place. We cannot help you find space for your 3 desk drinks. Why do you have 3? And while we can't help you find the perfect volume for your presentation video,
25:30Speaker 1Stomach that, you know, when you try to inject, it's not gonna nothing's gonna go in there,
25:35Speaker 1and it will start causing, like, permanent little lumps because that's what scar tissue is. So that is 1 suggestion.
25:44Speaker 1And, again, peptides are fragile. And so why I said when I, like, if you're gonna do that way,
25:49Speaker 1the less amount of like drawing and squirting you can do, the better. Right? Because they're fragile. There's little, little tiny, like amino acid chains that need to be still bonded together.
26:04Speaker 1slow drip into them all instead of and just make sure, even if you do it in the bottle, like don't suck it up fast, it in, squeeze it down, suck it up, squeeze it down.
26:20Speaker 1should he do it in the morning? Yes. Do it fasted in the morning. So do things fasted. 5 Amino. Absolutely. I agree with him. But JD, like add that add that in. That's great. The only other thing is BPC TV. I generally like to do them at night because we do not most of our national healing at night. And I like to give that its own.
26:38Speaker 0Okay. Makes sense. I always do my BPC in the morning, but that makes sense. Gonna actually switch up.
26:45Speaker 0Hey, y'all. Thanks for the education you're both bringing to the world. 34 year old female with lupus Hashimoto's.
27:10Speaker 0you recommend to add to the stack? Feel like I'm super inflamed and need to get rid of that. Thanks. PS, can you bring
27:17Speaker 0on Doctor. Humerman? That would be an elite combo. Thank you for thinking we were in that realm of, he's a pretty well known dude. That would be great. Doing this for a long time. Yeah. You want to run with that No.
27:32Speaker 0AOD- I was, yeah. So I've, there's a couple of people in here that talk about the AOD again.
27:58Speaker 0it's almost for everybody. It literally is almost for everybody except for I've told you many times, except for my tiny little dinky wife who would wither away.
28:12Speaker 0It's just contingent upon your dosing, right? So if you need to lose a lot of weight, you're going to do more. If you need to just kind of stay lean, you just do a little bit. A little bit goes a long way. So you definitely want to add that in.
28:33Speaker 0you should look into and just research. I'm not saying you should do it or should not, but I think you should look into a ketogenic diet or a carnivore type diet, not in perpetuity,
28:51Speaker 0So look into that. I'm not going to tell you to do it, but I would research it higher fat diets,
28:56Speaker 0cutting out a lot of carbs and at least trying it for a little bit. I think where you're going to get the most help with that is going to be diet rather than any peptide
29:10Speaker 0autoimmune and stuff like that. I think almost everybody to a degree has something that they're dealing with and a lot of it's diet and food. 5 Yep. Yes. So there, so I'm going to start off by saying sleep quality, stress load,
29:25Speaker 1yeah, so no sugars. We're talking about diet, not just mean, and fat are okay. It's not fat that makes you fat, so sugar. But
29:36Speaker 1are you dealing with any of those? Right? That's the thing we really, really need to attack. The autoimmune disorders in these are really are complex. And so
29:50Speaker 1You're already trying some stuff, which is awesome. So you're open to it, so keep going. I would say here's 2 other ones to try is KPV,
29:59Speaker 1So KPV is all about your gut health, right? Gut health, the gut brain axis is a super powerful thing. And your gut is the source of a lot of like
30:19Speaker 1sometimes, and here's your warning, in midst of like a big autoimmune outbreak, Thymosin Alpha-
30:45Speaker 1I would give her a try. I will say that, you know, so my girlfriend for the last, like, month and and always repeatedly, so she'll get like she gets cold sores where everybody in her family does,
30:57Speaker 1you could so and that's just a lot of acid. Right? If I eat Sour Patch Kids, ton of them, like, I'll break out into these little, like, canker sores or cold sores. I forget which 1 it is, but she family gets those. And then over the last, like, month, 2 months, she's always been complaining like, my
31:12Speaker 1stomach is like it's like burning, like, right here. I'm like, well, tell me where it is.
31:25Speaker 1If not, try and take some damn Tums and you and you might just be better. So I finally,
31:31Speaker 1forced her to eat some Tums. She's like, oh, I think it's a little bit better. Right? And then I gave her some,
31:43Speaker 1really now take BPC and KPV because it sure sounds like this is like the beginning of of an ulcer, and this is what, like, ulcerative colitis and leaky gut is. Right? So your,
31:52Speaker 1our in our stomach, we have stomach acid. It's really strong. Right? It kills everything that goes down there.
31:59Speaker 1Why does it not burn through our skin? You know what saying? Well, if it's so damn strong, why doesn't it? Well, we have this mucous membrane that's all around there that is just full of this amino acid chain that we have named BPC-one
32:28Speaker 1spots. And then when we feel that burning, this is an ulcer, your stomach acid is coming through and it's just burning your inside.
32:41Speaker 1FDA approved to actually like that is 1 of its FDA approvals is to is to heal this leaky gut. So she has been taking
33:00Speaker 1That's right. She was telling me last night and said she put out like a little Instagram video
33:04Speaker 1of what she's done and yeah, she's fixed. That's right. And I don't have to hear the complaining anymore.
33:22Speaker 0beat it, but man, she I'm not even joking when I say 2 years of strict, strict, strict, strict diet. It was almost to the phone. It was so annoying when we'd go eat because
33:33Speaker 0she was so like, but she was trying, I never judged because she was trying to be the problem and I've been there. So,
33:52Speaker 1figuring out what it is, how to fix it. And that takes time, man. It takes a lot of trial and error usually, right? Like, like investment of time and discipline into something that just doesn't work. And then
34:07Speaker 1Let's try a new strategy and, and you try enough and you will find the right strategy and ask enough questions and you'll
34:19Speaker 0Hey warriors, love the podcast and thanks for all the info. My 11 year old son has been battling ADHD
34:40Speaker 0I tried changing his diet and cutting out sugars and processed foods along with as much dyes as I can. I'm a single dad and trying to do what's best for my son. I'll take this because I have son, sons and daughter and granddaughters and all that stuff.
35:00Speaker 0off breastfeeding right now and it is a nightmare. There's no fun. My wife's handling it. Poor gal. She has to do the grunt of it. So she's sleeping downstairs in the boys' room and I have slept upstairs. So she knows I work a lot and she's just a good human. So I'm upstairs and I can hear him scream and I just feel so bad.
35:19Speaker 0I could tell she was up a lot. So she usually gets my son Jack's to school. She does all that stuff. She's a stay at home mom and I go to work and that's kind of our lives, but
35:29Speaker 0she was in the room with the door shut. And so this morning I got Jack's up and ready. I got him, made him his lunch and did all that stuff. 1 day, just 1 day is my point. And, it's a lot, it's a lot. And I say that for this reason, just 1 day of that, getting him to school, I don't have to do that. Like I'm lucky. We're blessed that she does that stuff. But the reason I'm saying that is that's so hard. Being a parent is hard. Being a single parent, I can't even imagine
35:55Speaker 0how hard that is. And we're very healthy in our house. We are very conscious of how we eat.
36:01Speaker 0It's just how we are. We're both healthy. And keeping kids off sugar in today's world is a freaking nightmare. It is a nightmare.
36:15Speaker 0I mean, my son, I'm sure you all know this who have kids, he eats sugar and he turns into demon kid. It's like either YouTube turns him into demon kid or I don't know what it is about YouTube too, bro. Weird.
36:29Speaker 0you're on it, you get it. I think your best approach is you've nailed it, is going to be getting him off sugars.
36:40Speaker 0getting him onto a higher fat diet. I have studied a lot of high fat diet and they really help with kids with autism. I'm not saying your son has autism. I'm just saying it helps calm them. The 1st thing we eat is breast milk, which is full of fat and it develops the brain and good
37:00Speaker 0I know it is hard to get kids off of sugar. And again, we're healthy in our house and it is a nightmare just keeping our son off that stuff. So you're a single dad. So that
37:26Speaker 0as they get older and then they start playing sports in high school and whatnot will be PPC and TB-five hundred. I will have no problem giving those that compound to my sons. I'm sure they will soon when they get into sports.
37:53Speaker 0a huge I do not believe I'm not a fan of Western medicine. I'm not a fan of the pharmaceutical
38:08Speaker 0right eating and different things like that. Right? Because the food we eat is poison, but like get
38:26Speaker 0Cutting out sugar and even glucose for a while and just doing a high fat diet. I'm telling you, you'll have a radical improvement in his behavior. We've done it.
38:34Speaker 0So try that. And then again, if it's going to boil down to it, try the Selank. I think that's okay. I'm not a compound on a nasal spray. I would probably
39:01Speaker 1a lot of studies in real world application of kids with antidepressants and that goes terrible,
39:08Speaker 1Yeah. And so like C Leg is really is increasing serotonin, which is your happy and calm and your GABA, which is the same thing like Zoloft does, which is an antidepressant.
39:17Speaker 1And Zoloft is like, I don't know, it's like super dangerous for for kids. It makes them depressed. It's antidepressant, but like for some reason, not all of them, but that's I don't know. So that just really scares me in general. Totally. I think that I would agree everything with everything you said at the beginning, but I would I don't know, man. I still would just kinda very
39:47Speaker 1everything else 1st. Yeah. And I too like, look, I got a kid at home now, a 9 year old boy, and it is crazy hard.
39:57Speaker 1Jeez. He's he's just a demon exactly what he's saying. It's amazing. It's crazy. It's like something in the head. And he definitely has ADHD,
40:12Speaker 1even her her her mother is doing homework with River and then called Ally and was like, oh, man, this brings back memories of trying to do homework with you.
40:20Speaker 1She had, like, really bad ADHD and was not a fan of school. Like, what? And River cannot
40:29Speaker 1That's it. Yeah. He's gonging up and, like, he can't handle it. So it makes me happy when I come home and she's got him
40:39Speaker 1shooting hoops. Cause we have a basketball hoop inside of our house in the middle, in the living room. He's shooting hoops for and doing pushups for wrong spelling.
40:47Speaker 1That's how he needs to learn. That's how I had to learn. Although I wasn't really ADHD, but I was just a physical,
40:54Speaker 1I don't know. I was a physical kid, but so I needed to do that. Most boys are. We need to run around and just break shit and stuff.
41:00Speaker 1That's the only way that his brain's going to work. That's the only way he can be entertained. Now we also did about it 2 weeks ago, went through and threw away all the cereal in the house. Cereal is literally 1 of the worst
41:11Speaker 1things. Cereal and, like, Coca Cola. Like, like, like, those sodas are probably, like, the 2
41:23Speaker 1Anyway, we threw away all that shit and we threw away all the other anything else is sugar. And we told them, yeah.
41:33Speaker 1So you can't do that. And then I have been making him but also he wouldn't you know, good nutrition.
41:40Speaker 0You send him to school with some eggs cooked in some bacon, some beef tallow compared to, like, cereal.
41:46Speaker 0Do it for a week. Watch how different he has. And so frankly, I have been now making him
41:55Speaker 1still has some fruit in it, which is sugar, but I, you know, I still think it's better than processed fake sugar. 100%. But you are 100%
42:02Speaker 1right. Like, I and and it has changed. His attitude has been so much better. Even in the week and 0.5 that we started, like, his attitude is better. He's not like kicking and screaming to do homework. He's not a punk in the morning. The TV is the other thing though that gets me in. It's like, so Ali was raised on TV all the time. Like, I was not. My mother, like, literally threw our TV out in the backyard 1 time
42:28Speaker 1She's she's like a hippie. Yeah. See her doing that. She hated it, and and I was always like, go on with the TV. But like as I've grown up, so I was, I never had TV in the morning. Yeah. Like before school or anything like that, hell no. The 1st thing this kid does turn the TV on and
42:43Speaker 1then she wonders why he doesn't listen to him or get dressed fast enough. Yeah, it's like- Turns something in their head. So I probably every other day unplug the TV, but I
42:53Speaker 1think that we're up This close to being like, there will be no TV, and I'm hiding all the cords
43:01Speaker 1You've seen those videos on YouTube. I mean, we already seen no video. But like, it needs to happen.
43:08Speaker 1It real. Yeah. It derails them and like all the it's like smoking pot, you know? Like smoking pot was never fun. Just made me dumb and lazy and hungry. Like talk about productivity.
43:20Speaker 0thing. I was a kid and smoked pot. It's like, I can't do anything. While these kids are all we're wondering why these kids are all overweight and like don't go outside and stuff. I mean, dude, we were always outside. But, man, you're a single dad. Hurt yourself. And that is my hat goes off to you, man. Sometimes when my kids are screaming, I'm like, babe, babe, I gotta go to the office.
43:37Speaker 1Yeah. No doubt. I'm not here. Right. We feel for you. Man, I really do feel for goes. We really wanna check-in with us however you found Yeah.
43:56Speaker 1a dull sheep hunt in Alaskan back country, which is primarily endurance incline training or rucking with some strength lifting mixed in. What's the best stack and doses to use for my training workouts to maximize my endurance?
44:36Speaker 1Sure. Thing you can do. It's also great on the nutrient partitioning. So when you are burning calories, right, and any calories coming in,
44:44Speaker 1like get to the right places. Right? So it's protein that comes in, goes right back to the muscles so we're not
44:51Speaker 1going catabolic and losing a whole bunch, right? Vitamins and minerals going right back there. Just stay
44:56Speaker 1well fed while taking SLU-3two and it will do you extra, extra wonders. Right? It'll really, and it'll help your endurance. I think MOTS-3two Absolutely.
45:14Speaker 1because it is gonna be help burn your fat and not your sugars. Be honestly like when you're on your hunt, like, bro, you you wanna use your sugar. You
45:23Speaker 1want to, like, forget the physique when you're actually doing some type of competition.
45:39Speaker 1mean, Carderine, honestly, like, if we're talking Carderine's not that type of folks, by the way. It's more of like a SARM, but
45:45Speaker 0endurance wise, that stuff kicks ass. Yeah. I was wondering if you're going to say that. That's the 1st thing that popped in my head because I remember when, I don't want to say when it came out, but when years and years ago, know, Will and I have been friends forever and whether you just read about it or whatnot, you had mentioned it to me, whether it's GW-five01516.
46:10Speaker 0we would always like kind of talk about it and then I'd read about it. I'm like, yeah, that sounds great. So I remember the 1st time I tried it, I thought it did. I'd whether it placebo or not, whatever, it worked for me. It definitely increased my stamina, I believed.
46:23Speaker 1So try that. I think that would be great. I was curious if you were gonna- And Carter Green also, folks, when you go to research it, what you're gonna see pop up- Cancer. Is these studies that say, this is going to give you cancer. Those things, the internet is flooded with these natural,
46:42Speaker 1kicked ass. And so they found a study that they gave rats something like 80 times the human dose.
46:52Speaker 1this big 80 times what I should take. And some of them over time developed a little bit of cancer.
47:00Speaker 1And so that's flooded over there. That's still out there too. Still out there That's People don't enough. Want to buy a card to read, but like, Hey man, use
47:19Speaker 0Yeah. For sure. So there's that. That's Cardiarine kicks ass. Mean Cardiarine's great. I think Cardiarine would be probably best for you in that. I think SLU- SLU- and the Cardiarine. So SLU-PP-three
47:34Speaker 0is great because it's gonna be cellular energy, MOTS-seven cellular energy. So you've done your research and thought through it
47:41Speaker 1for sure. But other than that, those should do you well, brother. NAD, you can take on your hunt. It's okay if it gets if it gets warm and cold. Probably be just stay cold though. Take like most of your pocket.
47:54Speaker 1you know, you could actually take that with you if you feel like it. A lot of these things are, you know, the training is going to help, but really,
48:11Speaker 1way all the way up to the day. And I would even try to bring some of them on you. Oh, yeah. These things peptides do last a bit longer than people were really thinking that we saw. We're learning not even now.
48:29Speaker 1generally. And even if they do get exposed to some some warmth, as long as it's not, you know, a 120 degrees, like, stuff stuff in a hot car. They're still gonna work.
48:45Speaker 1I'd still try and take them. Hell yeah. I wish you know, how about some modafinil, not a peptide? But it's crazy. It's a mild Your favorite. You need some That's how it works. You need a mental uplift,
48:56Speaker 1do that and bring your caffeine. Caffeine is probably the hands down best supplement ever designed
49:02Speaker 1by man for as far as performance enhancing supplement. Do that. You will be smarter. It numbs your pain receptors.
49:13Speaker 1Okay. Well, you burn more fat, diet and appetite suppressed as far as fat burning. But yeah,
49:19Speaker 1my guess is you'll be bringing coffee. 1 Sheep hunt in Alaska back country, man. Never heard of it. Sounds fun.
49:38Speaker 0You have tried more backwater and room temperature going really slow, but still I get them. Any advice? Thank you. Stay strong and healthy. That's rad man all the way from Sweden. You want to take this 1? Yes, sure. How much like
50:02Speaker 1Copper. Yeah. But forgive even the copper. Like, you're injecting water. If you inject enough water into there, it takes up volume. Right? You're gonna see a lump.
50:11Speaker 1Right? You're rejecting a physical thing underneath it. If you're really lean, you're gonna see that lump even bigger. K? Because you got no fat to obscure it.
50:25Speaker 1adding more backwater is the opposite thing just because that's just make you have to inject
50:31Speaker 4This episode is brought to you by Tic Tac. Lace up and get your game on because the Tic Tac lineup just got a new teammate.
50:38Speaker 4Doctor Pepper Tic Tac. This new double threat puts 2 of your favorite flavors into 1 box of mints. And when 2 iconic flavors come together, the result can only be iconic.
51:03Speaker 1and it stings like a moth, and I don't know what to do. And so what you do in that case is you go
51:59Speaker 1You kinda have you kinda feel like you have a dead leg for a little bit. Yeah. That's how I Might have a dead leg for a bit. So. But you're gonna have a lump. And, I mean, if you can It's like an hour. Best energy is to put less water in the vial. Yeah. You know? And so it's more highly concentrated, and therefore, you don't have to put as much physical liquid in there. It'll burn more because it's more highly concentrated, but
52:23Speaker 1you were listening to us in Sweden, how can I- I found your podcast about a month ago and absolutely love it.
52:28Speaker 1I would love some recommendations on the best resources to the best resource, the research data and information on peptides.
52:35Speaker 1There's so much information and misinformation out there. It is hard to always tell which source to trust. Your podcast is incredibly informative and it's clear that you know what you're talking about.
52:45Speaker 1Since you're both are so knowledgeable in this space, I'd love to hear what other resources you recommend for someone who is just starting to explore peptides.
52:51Speaker 1Keep doing what you're doing. Alright, dude. I have some I do a lot of research, and we have some friends who do lots of research. And a
53:00Speaker 1I mean, there's so much information out there. Mostly it's all surface level shit. Right? Like it's a, you know, a clinic or somebody like,
53:12Speaker 1That's not helpful, but it's not helpful to me. But some of the websites that you really, if you are interested in true, like research
53:51Speaker 1Now take things with a grain of salt. Make sure you read what the studies are studying, right, and variables if if you're trying to go that deep and just,
54:09Speaker 1Other than that, if you want, like, really, if you want some damn good, like, protocols
54:36Speaker 1every single peptide. And what does that peptide a general general info, what it does, but like more importantly, how to use it.
54:46Speaker 1that's what I that's the best I got for you. Good luck weeding through the weeds. Yeah. We were pulling through and we we've talked about for a long time
54:56Speaker 0kind of an outside hub so to speak of some stuff that we can pull people onto. Our website, which we are almost done. That is almost done so we can pull you guys from social media on our personal
55:11Speaker 0My understanding of that question was, I think I was asking where he could find the research peptides.
55:18Speaker 0yeah, you can DM us. We can answer that for you. We don't always answer those straightforward.
55:23Speaker 0We, for numerous reasons, but if you found us somewhere, you're probably on social media, shoot us a DM where we can help you with that if that is the question.
56:00Speaker 0Have started to read up on DSIP for my friend, or my friend, he says, to replace his use of marijuana for sleep.
56:08Speaker 0Curious to your thoughts. Love the show. Thanks, gents. I'll take this 1 for a sec. So I
56:17Speaker 0You know, I have friends, but I do not. I did at 1 point, but I'm not able to do that because I'm a sober man. I wish I could, but I can't.
56:28Speaker 0works good for me, even when I take DSIP. 1 thing about DSIP is it doesn't help make you sleepy. You don't, my experience with it is you do get into a REM sleep quicker and I do feel more rested when I take it, but it doesn't make you sleepy. I'm going to tell you this.
56:48Speaker 0it reads where it helps you sleep, and that's 1 of the reasons why I've taken it for a long time, but,
56:53Speaker 0I have not slept for a long time. And, even before we started recording, Will and I were talking about that. And
57:00Speaker 0we've read a lot about the Tesamorelin and we've had a lot of people ask about the Tesamorelin and affecting sleep. So I pulled it and I'm telling you that I am almost certain that I'm sleeping better since I pulled the Tesamorelin. Now, Tesamorelin is supposed to help you with sleep,
57:15Speaker 0anyways, try that. It might help. It helped me and I'm sleeping more since I pulled the Tesamorelin.
57:26Speaker 0Well, and I've done more research and the more we do this, the more we learn. And I take HGH in the morning. We've done some, you know, deeper studies and as we've talked through it and researched, blah, blah, blah.
57:37Speaker 0We've even thought, man, I don't know if even, even if a secret dog does a whole lot at night because of the HGH in the morning. So going off of that, I pulled the secret dog instead of replacing testosterone, which I would normally do. I'm just not taking the secretagog at night. I've
57:52Speaker 0been sleeping a lot better. I still sleep like shit, but I like sleeping a lot better. So try that. Definitely try the DSIP.
57:58Speaker 0My experience with that is when you do get to sleep, you do fall asleep a little bit better and a little bit deeper. You do feel more
58:07Speaker 0Know, marijuana, whatever. I don't really have an opinion either way. If you can smoke marijuana and get away with it, cool. I'm not that type of guy that can do that. So,
58:20Speaker 0And if you're thinking like efficacy and like, so that's not going to be a problem. Would affect like efficacy?
58:28Speaker 0it's going to be like improper storage or being hot. Those are the things that will affect it. Marijuana,
58:41Speaker 1counteract lots of lot of things. I mean, it's it is going to affect so so with marijuana, it really does affect appetite
58:54Speaker 1it has been a lot of people take it for sleep. Right? Duh. But there's a lot of science and articles out there saying that it's really it's gonna prevent you from getting into REM sleep.
59:03Speaker 1That you'd ask there's a whole handful of people that would tell you that's not true with them. I mean Each his own. I don't know. To each his own. There is some
59:17Speaker 1and there is some evidence that's saying a prolonged use is going to maybe blunt your natural growth hormone output and then blunt your natural testosterone output. Right? Just like not not just like opiates do, but we know that you do opiates and that
59:43Speaker 1I don't it's not gonna do anything else to the to the other ones, like the healing ones, etcetera. If
59:50Speaker 1you're trying to lose a bunch of weight, I you probably wouldn't be smoking a bunch of weight because then you munchies and counterintuitive
1:00:01Speaker 1but but I don't I would try. Absolutely, dude. Get off. I mean, get off it if you want to. Great. And I and DSIP is the best suggestion I would have to try to get off it. And, but inevitably
1:00:16Speaker 1And so there was going to be, if you smoke a pot every night to go to sleep for a long time, that is what we call habit forming, just like Tylenol PM is habit forming because now you're actually gonna have to, oh, your head's gonna be moving a little bit more, spinning a little bit more. So there will be a little tough period even if you're taking DSIP, but I think DSIP will help that out and you'll get used to it. It might deal with a few nights that suck.
1:00:37Speaker 0But- So quickly, were talking about this in the beginning and I was joking, saying about that I'm an overachiever, blah blah blah, because of my lack of sleep. I was being more funny than anything, but I the reason I brought that up because I have been researching it because I do sleep like shit. So I will tell you on a serious level what I have found, and it makes a lot of sense, is
1:01:06Speaker 0grounding. So getting onto the ground, putting your feet on the ground and it reboots that. So it's funny, read that this morning and it did not do that. I meant to, but
1:01:15Speaker 0I'm gonna try that. I did read that and then try to test them around, pull that. I have a feeling it might work for you too, but try to reboot your
1:01:23Speaker 0rhythm like me. I'm gonna try that. I will report back if that helps, but I will be doing that myself. Well, used do it every morning.
1:01:38Speaker 1and have a, like, a balanced calming routine you do every morning. Don't just wake up, get out of bed, and go, phone,
1:01:48Speaker 1Right? That that is a perfect recipe for a bad day, and most people do that. Yep. Everybody do it. Very few. So we've had, we've gone into the rooms and have been in this program long enough to know that everybody has told us, like, get your morning routine down, right? Get out of bed before you get all stressed out. Like, just
1:02:17Speaker 1and then get started. Reboot your I know a lot of people. I know at 1 point you had a long routine. I don't know if you still do have a long routine, but I don't think my fucking boss is on a routine. Yeah. 4 to 5 minutes. Okay. So it's quicker. That's that's longer than I think that's long. But yeah, I mean, I, it's for me, I do a lot. I'm meditating for meditating is just kind of sitting there thinking, which is
1:02:37Speaker 0it's, I've just come up with the best ideas ever in life when I'm sitting there just being quiet.
1:02:47Speaker 0disciplined at night. I keep that phone in my face until I go to bed. The last few days, I'm doing that. I'm putting my phone in my office at my house and not touching it when I get home. So if you call me, anybody listening at night, you don't get me anymore. It's because my phone's in my room. I'm trying to reboot.
1:03:03Speaker 0I'm trying to beat this sleeping problem. Yeah. So, re I'm gonna yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm I'm turning off and I'm rebooting and I'm putting it in those disciplines at night. We'll
1:03:15Speaker 0do it together, man. So we'll report back. See how it goes. I've actually started, like how many of you have actually read the Bible?
1:03:33Speaker 1it's not very exciting reading. Right? I read every single night no matter what. Not the Bible, but I am starting to that 1 that you gave me. Yep. Great. Because I've never read it a 100% the way through all by myself to myself. And it's good. But dude, I read every night and I started reading for sleep
1:03:53Speaker 1is crazy. Like, I will feel my heart beating faster and with all the worries of the world and my phone. Right? And I'm like, damn, dude, I don't know how I'm gonna calm down. I gotta go to sleep now and I will lay
1:04:20Speaker 1I mean, I actually You've always do the tips in the morning. I'm like, hey. Let me alone. I finally get to read and not just fall asleep immediately. I'm finally kind of even more awake because it was in the morning. It was like a weekend morning, but reading. Reading's great. I go through stages, man. Sometimes I just always I was reading.
1:04:36Speaker 1But it's great, man. Good idea. Alright. The Tesamorelin too, we have heard tons of feedback about that. I'm telling you it's helped. Is people have been saying that Tesamorelin, like especially at the start Blew me away. Has made you not sleep really well. We've got a lot of people say that, but we've had a lot of people say, Hey, maybe I lowered my dose and then I just toughed it out and then it started to really work. And then it did help me like get to sleep and stay asleep. So
1:05:01Speaker 1Maybe you don't want to abandon it immediately. Maybe just lower that dose or pull it out. It's up to you. Yeah.
1:05:16Speaker 1Yeah. Yep. Okay. Hi, you 2. Thanks for the form you provide for your community. I'm loving all the content and different podcasts you're putting out. I'm 50 year old who has been loving all the peptides, trying them all out in Vancouver, and I have 3 quick questions.
1:05:30Speaker 11st 1 is about tesamorelin not being stored in the fridge. Have you heard anything about tesa should not be cold and how the cold tesa
1:05:37Speaker 1loses some of its potency, if it's not stored at room temp? 2nd question is about nasal sprays. As peptides should not come reconstituted,
1:06:02Speaker 1a couple of direct question answers. You can hit us up and we can maybe talk to you how you can get no sting in Canada. Yeah. B, a lot of times the AOD might sting because people are putting acetic acid in it and because that's what's necessary
1:06:22Speaker 1could potentially also sting. K? It's not necessarily the AOD or the AOD gets kind of weird,
1:07:20Speaker 1Also, you know you got a good company if they send it out with an ice pack in there and a thermal packaging.
1:07:28Speaker 1well, the point there usually isn't really to keep it, like, really, really cold. The point there is to just not let it is to keep it cool so it doesn't keep heat up. You know? So that's what we don't want. Most everything is gonna be just fine and kept cool.
1:07:50Speaker 1is not very hydrophobic and can gel up easily if it gets cold. And so Makes sense. I think we even did a podcast the other day where I said, I I think that what you should do with Tesamorelin is
1:08:08Speaker 1It'll still work just as good, but it has no potential then to gel up and it will still be working.
1:08:15Speaker 1use it, use it just like every other peptide. Don't do it for if you're using it properly, which is daily,
1:08:35Speaker 0That's it. Interesting, man. That's we keep learning ourselves and that's not so definitely would've, if you would've asked us a year ago, it would've been a different answer.
1:08:43Speaker 0Alright, I'll take this home because I know we're getting past an hour here. So you got, new to your show and not sure if you've talked about melatonin
1:08:58Speaker 0I live in Oregon, so there's not much of that right now. Thanks and enjoy all the info you provide. Yes. Melanotan works 100%.
1:09:06Speaker 0It works really, really good. You have to too well. Yeah. Yeah. If you take it too much, you will turn really you'll be like, what is wrong with you? You are red. Yeah. There's Melanotan 1 and there's Melanotan 2. Melanotan 2 is generally the cheaper
1:09:23Speaker 1So you probably need to do it more frequently. It's gonna work faster, but it's the 1 that gives you, like, the dark freckle spots. Okay? It will for sure make you nauseous. I mean, when I 1st tried that and did 5 units, I did, like, 0.5 of a milligram. Probably gonna ruin my day. Days were ruined in the morning, so there's no way. So basically, if you're gonna do that 1, just do it right before you go to sleep.
