Episode notes

Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas tackle high SHBG and low free testosterone, the real reason AOD gets mixed reviews, peptide protocols for gout, Barrett's syndrome, burn recovery, and why lifestyle still beats every compound on the market.

Chapters:

We cover:

• High SHBG & Low Free Testosterone: Why fasting too hard and eating too few carbs tanks your free test, why Proviron frees up androgen receptors, and when Enclomiphene makes more sense than Kisspeptin

• Gout Protocol: Why KPV, TA-1, BPC and SS-31 are the right tools, and why cutting alcohol and sugar does more than any peptide

• Cycling Off GHK-CU, MOTS-C & SS-31: Why glow and Klow don't count as cycling off GHK-CU, and what NAD and 5-Amino-1-MQ do as bridges

• Why AOD Gets Such Mixed Reviews: Why it's a sauce-on-top compound, why fasted dosing and proper acetic acid water are non-negotiable, and why it shines only when everything else is dialed in

• Female with Celiac, GI Issues & Low Energy: Why malabsorption, hormones and cortisol are the likely culprits, what blood panels to run, and why Epithalon and Tesamorelin are the next moves

• Overwhelmed at 53 — Where to Start: Why Tesamorelin-Ipa blend plus HGH is the answer and how to use the school protocols to find your path

• Low Testosterone at 43 — Should You Wait on TRT?: Why IGF-1 LR3 should wait until hormones are optimized and why DHEA and Enclomiphene are smart first steps

• Brother Won't Go to the Gym but Wants to Lose Weight: Why jumping from 15 mgs Tirzepatide to 3 mgs Retatrutide explains the plateau and why no peptide overcomes a broken lifestyle

• Firefighter Burn Recovery Protocol: Why HGH, SS-31, MOTS-C and NAD are the right stack after severe injury and why 60 pounds of fat loss deserves recognition

• Barrett's Syndrome & GERD: Why oral BPC and KPV are worth trying, why lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction needs more than peptides, and why rebooting the gut is the real fix
