Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down with returning guest Paul Bakhtiar president of telehealth for one of the largest peptide manufacturers in the country and keynote speaker at major peptide conferences for a deep dive into the entire growth hormone peptide category, IGF-1 LR3 protocols, how to stack without overlapping pathways, male fertility, and much more.

Chapters:

00:00 – Intro to Peptides & Telehealth

06:01 – Growth Hormone Overview

11:50 – Timing & Dosing Peptides

1:01:41 – NAD+, Protocols & Final Takeaways

We cover:

• Mixing Multiple Peptides in One Syringe: Why it's safe, how to do it right, and why you don't need to be a pin cushion

• The Full GH Peptide Hierarchy Explained: HGH vs. secretagogues vs. IGF-1 LR3 — what replaces, stimulates, and bypasses your natural growth hormone and when to use each

• IGF-1 LR3 Timing, Dosing & Cycle Length: Pre- vs. post-workout debate, why 20–40 mcg is the sweet spot, and why four to six weeks on with equal time off is the smart approach

• Tesamorelin vs. Sermorelin vs. CJC-1295: Strength rankings, dosing protocols, pituitary vs. blood plasma signaling, and why Tessa is Paul's top pick

• Ipamorelin Ratios for Women: Why equal blends can cause water retention and the case for keeping Ipa lower relative to Tessa or CJC

• IGF-1 Sweet Spot on Blood Work: Why 250–350 is the optimal range for fat loss, lean muscle, sleep quality, and cognitive function

• AOD-9604 & SLU-PP-332 Fat Loss Protocols: Proper AOD dosing, fasted cardio timing, and what the latest sloop studies show at higher milligram doses

• SS-31 Then MOTS-C for Mitochondrial Health: How to sequence them, the loading and maintenance phase for metabolic damage, and managing histamine reactions

• NAD+ Dosing Done Right — and What Happens When You Overdo It: Why 200mg per week is the sweet spot and what happens when you accidentally take 500mg

• Optimal Blood Work Markers for Testosterone: Total, free, DHEA, and SHBG targets for men and women — and why DHEA is a $25 fix most people overlook

• Male Fertility Protocol: HCG dosing, HMG every other day, N-clomiphene citrate, and why Paul avoids standard clomid

• BPC-157, Angiogenesis & Cancer Research: What the latest rat model studies show about wound healing vs. chaotic angiogenesis and why the risk conversation is shifting
