0:54Speaker 2back to the Peptide of the Week podcast. I'm your host JD Denham across way mister William T. Hopp. Yo. Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday. What's
1:07Speaker 3I don't really like all the attention being paid to me or not very good at being served.
1:18Speaker 3Ally's like, alright, well, we gotta go do this errand. She's like, I'll do it. You just stay there. I'm not very good at that. I'm like, no. I'm like, I'd rather go do the work and you relax. Relax.
1:39Speaker 2for, like, 2 hours Really? And do nothing. Oh, man. I can't need a book, I guess. For sure. Is too damn hot, and then I am just uncomfortable. Isn't that crazy as you are younger? I mean, everybody's heard this and has probably thought this where when you're young,
1:53Speaker 2like you don't take naps, you don't wanna take a nap, you don't wanna sit by a pool and read. Like as you get older, naps, man. Just, if I could just get a nap in the day, don't care, Brad, it's so long. And then 2, like laying by a pool and like being having no questions asked to me except for let me just read this book. That's great. That's what I love reading. Yes. Like Yeah. You like stoicism? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. That I read. I can't remember the name of it. I thought you'd like it. It's on stoicism.
2:17Speaker 2It's a very cool trait, dude. It's a very cool yes. Like, don't I guess. Keep your your wits. Don't let people have the energy of
2:26Speaker 3revenue up. Uh-huh. That's Everything is all about yeah. I mean, it really is kind of Jedi stuff. Like, stoicism is all about not wanting for anything, not needing anything,
2:46Speaker 3You know who's big on that and like does a lot of practice with this is Kate's father. Oh yeah? Yeah. Interesting. If you ask Jeff, he'll tell you all about it. And he really yeah. It's cool. I mean, it's pretty hardcore if you go true stoic. Right?
3:00Speaker 2Yeah. The book that I was reading, it was interesting. It was, it had even talked about how,
3:06Speaker 2what's his name? What's the, president Kennedy when, when, like, all that stuff was going on with,
3:13Speaker 2what was the war we were dealing with? The Cuban Missile Crisis. Cuban Missile Crisis, and I was talking about how the pressure that
3:21Speaker 2I can't remember exactly what, but he because he was stoic and, like, kept calm because all his generals were like, Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, like blow them up.
3:35Speaker 2There's this whole earth isn't this nuclear wasteland. Right. That's good for him. So last week we were talking about how
3:47Speaker 2is how I get presents. I'm not the best present giver, but I will tell you. SLU-1G gave me iron sharpens iron
3:53Speaker 2thing a long time ago. And it still hangs in my office at the house and because I love iron sharpens iron. Proverbs 27 17. So I got this big dude. This thing, which is which is
4:15Speaker 2speech, and, it's always meant something to me. A good friend of mine gave that to me as I started my Instagram channel. I was getting tacked heavily,
4:30Speaker 2put themselves on the field are the ones that are going to succeed and the dudes in the stands are going to throw down shit. Men are on the field taking the bullets and taking the wounds are the ones that succeeds. Like it's kind of like it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I think the last line of that says, right,
4:50Speaker 3the true goal is to you're you will fail. Okay? Yeah. But you actually have that achievement.
4:57Speaker 3You have a chance to be a damn hero, and you are still a hero if you try and fail. At least you What's the last line is
5:10Speaker 2at least he fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
5:17Speaker 2who neither know victory nor defeat. Who needs to know victory nor defeat. And just sit in mediocrity,
5:27Speaker 2climb shit, climb Everest, whatever it is your Everest is like, you know, and I said, do big shit. And
5:38Speaker 3of life and success. Like if we just only participate in things that we know we're going to win it,
5:51Speaker 2is the enemy of progress. Like, so we, I've said it on this podcast numerous times, if you're new, Will doesn't like being on cameras, it's just not his gig. That's why he's in the back doing the stuff and I'm fine with the cameras. But somehow
6:03Speaker 2I did get him on here and it was awkward at 1st because it wasn't a thing. It's awkward for anybody. Was awkward at me 1st, but he's always done really well.
6:10Speaker 3But you got uncomfortable, bro, and you grew. Look at you're kicking ass now. So that's what I thought of that. Yeah, that's good. It's funny, you know, even so my mother's got her master's in theology of religion, and we were at this kind of Bible study group the other night.
6:29Speaker 3prodigal son story? Right? Like all of these, but it is but like everybody always says, oh, the people use the word, oh, the prodigal son. Look, he's the 1 who's awesome and did good. But the story,
6:41Speaker 3if we all know spend all the money. Yeah. The guy the prodigal son is the screw up. Right? Like the good doting son who stayed there, watched the family, tended the farm, kept everything stable and alive,
6:57Speaker 3partied, blew all the money, did nothing. He comes back and he's celebrated and this other 1 is put down. What's up with that, dude? Well, it's about God's grace is new every day, so he's gonna love you no matter what. Yep. That is it. My mother being a
7:14Speaker 3and religion, her her point, she said, here's the deal. And you'll see this recurring time and time and time again into other Bible stories. She's in her argument, right, is that basically the Bible it is about rewarding the person who just dares.
7:34Speaker 3Just do something different. Go try. Put yourself out there Yeah. And do something crazy.
7:40Speaker 3Well, that's why. You failed, but, like, that's how we progress and we get better, and that's how we actually instead of just idling, sitting in mediocrity,
7:48Speaker 2just doing this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Going to do this. And you slowly die like that. I mean, it's not a knock on people that are fine with just kind of getting by. It's not, it's not a knock on those people, but I believe
7:59Speaker 2such kind of the Genesis of warrior makers. You know, it kind of just happened how it happened, but it's been such a blessing of how it happens because that warrior gene is
8:16Speaker 2But let's talk about the other son. I don't wanna hear a story about a dude that always had his shit together. That's boring. I don't wanna hear a story about a dude who ripped his damn life to pieces and then had the balls to get back up and like make something better of yourself because
8:34Speaker 2know what I mean? You know, just can't really, like, I remember when I 1st got sober, I went down and sat by the beach and like, for the 1st time, probably ever,
8:42Speaker 2I was noticing the beauty of trees. I was noticed the beauty of just the calmness of sitting at the beach and being content with sitting at the beach. I had never felt that. And that serenity
9:00Speaker 2not being comfortable. We're supposed to be uncomfortable. But again, you know how I say it, like the men that have that warrior gene, the prodigal son, if you will change the damn world because they take The only way that you might fail on your ass by will. And it's good that you do because why you learn? Mhmm. Absolutely. You learn. And maybe you're a marker for others, but that still progresses
9:22Speaker 3Everybody, man. The species. Or else we would still be just hunting and gathering and just eating berries.
9:31Speaker 3Nobody had the risk Yeah. To to to go and fight the damn Go fight the lion or go kill kill the animal. It's hard to kill. Anybody wants some meat and be like, damn, that's good. Are you guys sick of these berries? I'm
9:47Speaker 2got 1 for myself because I usually get 1 for me and 1 for you and my wife does that stuff. Babe, that's a little big.
9:55Speaker 2I like it, but it's dope. So good stuff, man. But today is a Q and A, everybody's favorite, man. And we love you guys. You're always so kind in
10:05Speaker 3your questions and comments, so we appreciate every 1 of you guys. So we'll kick us off. Sure. All right. Question 1. Hi, JD and Will. Love the podcast. I listen to every week. I'm 38 year old male with 8 10 total tests. My free test is 11.
10:33Speaker 3I do 16 hour fast 4 times a week and stick to meat, fat, and fruit. I do some form of working out every day with 4 days of lifting heavy each week. Currently I'm taking a Retta 0.5 mg
10:46Speaker 3Thursday, and 75 megs of NAD plus Monday, Thursday. I was told to take boron and introduce more carbs into my diet. In doing some research, it seems like Kisspeptin
11:08Speaker 2Yeah, go ahead. You got some weight loss, what could we're- So if your sex hormone binding globulin is high, which it is, it's
11:17Speaker 2going to basically hold down that test. So that's not going to release some of the free tests, which is for people that don't know the free test is what you want. It's going to give you your energy,
11:35Speaker 2you're low on. So, know, you want to get that down. Now Kisspeptin, you know, you work, but I think in
11:45Speaker 2eating enough calories. I'm sure you know this by now that I fast a lot and I was going to really kind of bring down my fasting. I've really been studying it a lot, you know, and kind
11:59Speaker 2But 1 of the things that you can do when you don't, when you fast is you don't eat enough or you don't definitely don't eat enough protein.
12:07Speaker 2So you want to increase your protein. Now you can increase your carbs if you want, but I would just make sure you're eating enough calories.
12:19Speaker 2I still love carnivore. I'm saying like an eighty-twenty carnivore and what I've done with a lot of thinking and like just methodically planning my diet out. I love carnivore too much to just walk away for it. I'm eating carbs
12:32Speaker 2before I work out and carbs after I work out, especially I'll up the carbs on leg day. So generally 40 to maybe 50 carbs before the workout
12:56Speaker 2And that works for me. So that will help. I think instead of adding something into the mix,
13:03Speaker 2I think if you just did something like that by making sure you're eating enough calories,
13:12Speaker 2know, if your calories are too low, if you're being overweight, you don't say your weight in here. Did he?
13:23Speaker 2right. So too low calories can actually do what it's doing. So you it's, this is like, you're perfect. It sounds like why you're doing that is you have low calories. I bet you if you just raise your calories and eat more,
13:34Speaker 2you're going to get a little bigger and you're going to feel a little bit better. So try what I'm doing. I literally just posted something today of my fasting protocol and when my carbs. So if you look at the reel that I put today, it's a carousel.
13:46Speaker 2I wrote that up today and how my guys put it together. So we can check that out maybe. Yeah. I agree with everything you said. I think that other
13:58Speaker 3Carbs go and carbs go up, like no calorie restriction and low, like, insulin signaling
14:12Speaker 3Maybe chill on the fasting, listen to JD also add carbs in. But like you did say, hey, I don't wanna add carbs because I wanna stay lean. So so cool. Add carbs in, but be smart about when you introduce the carbs. That's it. You eat them
14:25Speaker 3pre heavy lifting days. Okay? Like, that's what you wanna add them in, like nothing at night. You can have some good
14:33Speaker 3some good healthy natural carbs, like in the morning time. Right? Because then you're moving all day long and burning those off. Right? But so you can add those in and that makes a that will probably make a big difference.
14:46Speaker 3and Clomiphene is something to think about. I think the Kisspeptin, since you're on TRT, you're on TRT. Is it not? Yeah. Is it?
14:59Speaker 3your pituitary is not thinking about making any more natural tests and that's what Kisspeptin
15:21Speaker 3saying I have a lot of testosterone in me. Okay. If you're not on TOT, then everything I'm saying is don't worry about it. Because I don't does actually. Think
15:33Speaker 3is a good idea. Also the, the, you want to go straight to the source and if you're willing to do this, Provirin. Provirin is
15:42Speaker 3It will, yeah, fix it for free. It's a great idea. Absolutely. Oh, wow. That's great. Super duper mild anabolic androgenic
15:52Speaker 3And people the best you'll see out there, people go, oh, I take proviron because it enhances everything. Well, why does it enhance everything? It literally goes in, so you have your androgen receptor. Right? And your sex hormone binding globulin essentially binds to this whole receptor,
16:15Speaker 3If the whole thing is covered with sex hormone binding, then you have this much room for your test to grab on and and that's not enough. So you take Reviron, it just
16:34Speaker 2is gonna work a whole lot better and your body will work a lot better. Yeah. Was a good call on that. Didn't think about Provider. Providerance, it really will free up some of your free tests. It will. I would make sure you're on TRT though. Yes. Just get provided. Could have shut you down. If anything, Proviron's the 1 that like does it actually on paper. So Proviron will actually kind of boost testosterone,
17:17Speaker 2yes. You know, I mean, free test is okay. 8 10. I mean, it's actually bad, but that, that low, that low free test is too low, man. Yeah. And then magnesium zinc,
17:36Speaker 2Like good stuff. Good stuff. Just go on. We've had a question like that in a while and join the podcast and the community. Keep up the great work. My question is around gout,
17:48Speaker 2buildup of uric uric acid in the joints, mostly in the toes and feet, causing redness, swelling, and very painful situations that generally last a few days. There's a genetic component
18:19Speaker 2Thoughts on this or anything else? Thank you. Good. Yes, nailed it. So I would absolutely KPV and TA-one and BPC. So like
18:29Speaker 3for sure is known to just kind of inhibit the cascade of of the inflammation that may be happening, and that is what happening when you have gout.
19:02Speaker 3Because it's now, I guess it's a derivative of of it comes from the HGH chain, but it has none of that that growth possibility. But
19:14Speaker 3to help reducing inflammation and and because your mitochondria plays a role in how on in oxidative stress and how you handle your body handles inflammation,
19:34Speaker 2Yeah, I was curious about his weight. He didn't put his weight. It would help guys if you put your weight, age, of those things are important when it comes to answering some of these, at least the best that we're able to,
19:55Speaker 2probably the most given. Hopefully you don't drink because that definitely can worsen gout for sure. At a buddy that drinks so much and he had the worst gout, couldn't even put like a blankets over his toes. Jeez. I was like, you think you might want to stop breaking out.
20:16Speaker 2you know, and, just kind of go that route, you know? And, that might help. There you go.
20:56Speaker 3are just adding b p c you're you're continuing GHKCU. You're adding in BPC, TB, and and KPV in the CLO scenario.
22:27Speaker 2or HGH, and maybe the face serum contingent upon your objectives, which you didn't stay, but maybe that answers it for you. 5 Amino-1MQ is another 1 that can help out mitochondrial
22:53Speaker 3if you're looking for, you know, the healing portions. We put all that on any type of You can add that on any things. And
22:59Speaker 3really, the reason you wanna cycle off is like the is is just because your body starts building a tolerance and it just stops working as well.
23:07Speaker 3So that's that is the main reason in all these peptides that you want to cycle off. Not that like continued use is gonna cause severe withdrawals or anything like that or it's bad for you.
23:19Speaker 3you get that 1. You don't want to just constantly just flood yourself with copper. Yeah.
23:24Speaker 3That 1 you do want to cycle off for other reasons because it might end up being bad for you after
23:29Speaker 2a while. I would think though even in like mitochondria, like we, we, if like the objective is to fix this stuff and then to not run them in perpetuity, I mean, TRT is probably will be around for perpetuity, maybe even HGH, some, you know, the objective isn't like, let's take these forever. Right? And it'll be good for your pocketbook, but it's to fix the mitochondria,
23:50Speaker 2and MOTS-3.0 then take a break. NAD without a doubt will be a good replacement. Yep, best you can replace. Alright.
24:03Speaker 2604 in regards to if it works or not. People say it does or people say it's great. How can there be such a gap on its efficiency? JD says it's 1 of his top 5,
24:13Speaker 2but others say it's trash. It's very true. I'm intrigued by AOD. Could you go deeper in the peptide
24:34Speaker 2I want it to work right now. Right? So that's not the, that type of peptide. So the reason I like it in particular is because I'm in pretty good shape. So
24:48Speaker 2So it works great for me. It's, you know, anti obesity drug, its main job is to burn fat. I'm a fat burner guy
24:57Speaker 2and I will always be that. And that's why, so do I think AOD would work against a Retatrutide? Not even close. If you're not hormonally optimized,
25:08Speaker 2and you're not working out much, AOD is going to suck. So that's probably the type of person answering that. Not always, but that's probably why. So it's not going to replace some of the things

25:56Speaker 0Gatorade, hydrates better than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration.

26:20Speaker 1Elevate your post performance ritual with saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, and more. Everything you need to lock in and unlock your potential at Equinox.
26:34Speaker 3And that is true. There's a lot of reasons. A, like well, 1st of all, like, HGH frag, AOD is just as slightly as is 1 1, less amino acid than HGH frag, but it's it's just
26:46Speaker 3manipulated to be a little bit more stable, but bodybuilders have been taking HGH frag forever and then having good results with it. Okay? And that but it is AOD is should be a, like, an adjunct treatment per Right? Like, it should not be your, like, this is my fat burner. Yeah. It's like the sauce on top. Exactly. It's kind of the sauce on top.
27:07Speaker 3And it works way better when everything else, like you said, is is going right. Yeah. Right? So a lot of people may say, oh, it doesn't work because they're because they're not doing anything else right, and therefore it is not gonna work. There it does make a huge difference if you take it in a fasted state. So anybody who's taking it with a full stomach
27:27Speaker 3of food is just basically blunting its effects. Sure. It also is it can degrade really fast and
27:37Speaker 3and you need to mix it with acetic acid, but it can degrade very fast. And so maybe people have checked your sources of where you get this from. Right? You're handling your own handling procedures and because so you don't ruin your own product. Right? That can contribute to people saying that it's crap. Yeah.
28:05Speaker 3right? People think of HGH when this baseball controversy like, oh, HGH. That guy is so ripped. Like, he's doing it. They don't they don't and until they take it, like, it's it's it's under it is it's underwhelming from what people really think. Right. Like, it's not gonna be It's such an uneducated opinion that you you don't even talk about. You have no idea what you're talking about. You haven't even, like, studied this at all. And that's the whole real deal. HGH is kind of underwhelming on the fat burning, but it works, but it works over time and subtly.
28:32Speaker 2Well, like Will says, like you only sometimes even notice it when you take it out. Yeah. You're like, dude, I'm getting a little pudgy. I'll stop taking that shit. You know what mean? Yep. Yeah. Perfect as I said. Alright. Am I up? Yeah.
28:57Speaker 3the school you've created. I've learned you so much, and peptides have become a way to finally work with my husband on my passion for healthy living. Right on. Several questions here. I'm a 38 year old female, with celiac disease, GI issues, and intestinal
29:26Speaker 3and I add AOD on my workout days 3 to 4 days a week. Been on tirzepatide a few months. Recently discovered Retta.
29:36Speaker 3both, but just the last couple of weeks. I also use NAD midday, 3 to 4 days a week, 30 units from a 500 mg vial, which should be 30
29:51Speaker 3I'm doing basic dosing for all of the above, but still seem to be lacking energy wise. And my sleep debt score stays fairly high. I weight train 4 days a week and get in just enough, get in just cardio 1 to 2 days a week. I track my macros to stick to 140 grams of protein daily,
30:10Speaker 3at least 120 ounces of water, and I'm careful about not eating much added sugar. I'm down from 152 3 months ago down to 139,
30:18Speaker 3and I feel a big drop in inflammation. I'm doing basic dosing for all the above, but still seems to be lacking energy wise. Wait a minute.
30:26Speaker 3I think that just repeated. My bad. So did I end that correctly? Yeah. Any suggestions? Here, here it goes. Any suggestions
30:37Speaker 3Any suggestions on labs to watch for? Any suggestions to help out knock out my lower belly fat? That was a great question. Yes, it was. It really was very articulate.
30:52Speaker 2going to be very straight with you. I think that you have not checked your hormones. You probably need to be hormonally optimized. I know that's
31:00Speaker 2coming around for ladies, but there's still a lot of ladies that don't know that they need to check their hormones.
31:06Speaker 2And you, you literally could just get on a little bit of testosterone and that could change all this, the lack of energy, your age,
31:13Speaker 2everything you said, that little pooch at the bottom, that could be testosterone. It could be estrogen. It could be all kinds of things and hormones need to be checked. So without a doubt, I'm almost certain that's what it is. Like thyroid panel, iron,
31:38Speaker 2Will and I talk about this all the time for men because we are men, but it's coming up so much,
31:52Speaker 2You should be horny because that's a thing that God gave us. So if that should be a beacon, if you're not,
32:00Speaker 2And you shouldn't have such low of energy if you're healthy and you're eating right and whatnot. So the fact that you don't have the energy
32:06Speaker 2and I don't know what your sex drive is, but if you don't have a sex drive, I'm going tell you that's the hormones.
32:13Speaker 2I And bet you the testosterone might be your answer, but the hormones will tell you the answer because it's not your, the peptides you take are not going to be working well unless
32:31Speaker 2to find that sweet spot. I'm currently in 1 right now, but I'm doing a lot of research to
32:47Speaker 2it's obviously for a reason, if you do not sleep, your cortisol is going to be high and your cortisol will,
32:53Speaker 2it takes the top seat of everything. If you're not sleeping and your cortisol is high, you will not lose the weight. There's no chance in hell and it doesn't matter how much testosterone you're on. So
33:03Speaker 2fix your sleep. I have a protocol that has been just life changing for me. So if you, whatever channels that you follow us on, if you just say, Hey, JD said to send this, I will literally, or my team will
33:17Speaker 2protocol that has changed my life. I slept like 8.5 hours last night and I was sleeping 3 for like a year. And like, I'm just like waking up and just feeling like 1000000 bucks. The cortisol is gonna keep you at that. You're not losing that belly fat girl. Then obviously Tesamorelin, once you get that stuff in line, the Tesamorelin is gonna be your answer, but it's hormones in my opinion. What you got? You think that's it? Yes, but I think that 1 thing ought to be explored with celiac disease and GI issues
33:47Speaker 3of the nutrients that you are actually eating. Good point. Right? That could be absolutely
33:57Speaker 3your body, just your gut not being able to absorb properly all the nutrients that you're actually putting in, And then that resulting in lower energy. So I would think of that and there is some,
34:09Speaker 3you asked, there's some panels that can give us some clues to that, some blood panels. And I wrote those down, so to tell you slowly.
34:16Speaker 3Sleep, yeah, I mean, your sleep needs to get better, right? That's going to affect everything and a 100% your cortisol,
34:28Speaker 3Who knows? Again, with these peptides, it's crazy how like some, once you find that sweet spot, right? There's 1 little, 1 little like maladjusted thing in each individual's body. Right? And you sometimes use the peptide that actually affects that and then bam,
34:56Speaker 3not necessarily for the sleep, but just for everything, for the belly fat. Right? It is there. It is it is made
35:02Speaker 3to burn fat on your belly and and, the fat around your organs. So and it will keep muscle on you, which will
35:22Speaker 3specifically Tesamorelin do. For the panel. Here's what I would try and go get tested for. So a full
35:58Speaker 3get that test, but, and we can kind of put you in touch with, with him there. We're a little bit warm up. He's like, woah dude, I'm busy.
36:08Speaker 2you probably have heard me talk about a lot. I've been dealing with it for years. There's another question coming up about,
36:19Speaker 2can feel great and we should feel great. I think that's how God created us, but that takes work. It takes sometimes a lot of like stuff doing a lot of stuff that we don't want to do and checking your gut, checking your hormones without a doubt should be 1st just because it's the easiest 1. And then go into what, if you use Doctor. Scott, what my opinion is, he'll run a stool test, which is kind of gross,
36:42Speaker 3where you need to go to fix your gut stuff. Yep. And needless to say, I don't know, but KPV,
36:50Speaker 2mean, we had Paul on here and like we, you know, we said for the autoimmune stuff, which is gut related mostly is
37:05Speaker 2which we're working on. And then we got the LL-thirty 7, which you're gonna run super low dose at like 100 micrograms for 40 days. And then you're going to follow it up and sweep it all out with VIP for 10. So that's on do I think we have that on our site, right? So if not- We should go check to make sure.
37:39Speaker 2Been on tests for a year and 0.5 and read it off and on since September. Going to start SS-thirty 1 with MOTS-C and then NAD this week. Could use some growth hormone too. Just a lot out there. It's a bit overwhelming.
38:01Speaker 3hard to give you a defined path without telling us what you want to do, what the issues are.
38:14Speaker 3I think that as starting with SS-thirty 1, then going to MOTS-3s and NAD is a good choice.
38:22Speaker 3like longevity health, those are a good call. And you seem to be listening and doing those things.
38:28Speaker 3That's great growth hormone support. I would take Tesamorelin plus Ipamorelin blend. You're 53, so you are a candidate for just pure HGH,
38:42Speaker 3Ipamorelin blend for the growth hormone because yeah, for sure. You probably need it. At 53, it just is what it is and it will help with everything. 3
38:53Speaker 3yeah. Yeah. Hard to say. Don't see your Those are, if those are the objectives, those, that is what, what are good ideas to take.
39:08Speaker 2done deal. And, like you said, you didn't tell us your objectives, but you should be on HGH at 53 in my opinion. If you go on to our school and into the, what's the 2nd tier called?
39:33Speaker 3it's $25 a month. That's it. Yeah. We spend this I mean, if I if I need to justify why we charge money, it's like, we need to feed the children, and it's a whole lot of,
39:45Speaker 2it's a whole lot of work and expertise put into that. Okay? Years and years and years and years years of We have a really good friend of ours, Will, was saying before this, who is just
39:55Speaker 2like, kinda like a brother, like, just such a good dude, and he signed up for that without even telling us because we would have given it to him for free for sure.
40:02Speaker 2And he would he called Will and said, dude, this is awesome. He's like, oh, man. And for him to say that Yeah. Speaks And he's in this business. And they've been in this business. I'm sorry to say that we were both, wow, that's rad. Yeah. It's worth, so like just
40:23Speaker 3That's what I should take. And how much? Okay. Might just do the job for you. Okay. There's some direction.
40:35Speaker 3Thanks 1000000 for all you guys and gals are doing. Y'all are selling it right, selling it right, setting it right now. I'm 43. It's starting to get my health back on track 2 months ago,
40:46Speaker 32 months ago through better nutrition, exercise, and peptides. Current stack is a 1 mg of Tessa,
41:00Speaker 31 mg 5 m, 1 MQ daily, the Wolverine to the hip daily for an old injury, Wolverine to the hip daily for okay.
41:28Speaker 3doing what I'm doing for 1 to 2 months to see if the lifestyle change naturally helps my numbers.
41:37Speaker 3and we'll start that tomorrow. Please help me with any advice. Good plan. Should I start the DHEA
42:03Speaker 3Those are good questions. I know you're good. Questions today. Appreciate it, man. I guess actually, so, so everything you are taking
42:15Speaker 3and frankly good for you. If you want to, like you have made progress, no doubt, right? Now from 02/25 to 195 and you're feeling great. So like
42:34Speaker 3you're still making that much progress. And that's really, that's, that's impressive. Amazing. And
42:46Speaker 3Cool. If you want to wait and see if your lifestyle changes really helped that, I'd be interested to know how much they helped that also. I don't know if they actually will. I think ultimately you probably want to go into testosterone and that will open up your life to
43:03Speaker 3but just good for you, dude. I would keep on going as far as, and should I start the DHEA? Yes.
43:20Speaker 3It just seems to just be proven to actually work, for actually increasing testosterone
43:30Speaker 3topical at the same time. Yes. There's no problem. There's no problem at all. The topical is not really
43:39Speaker 3the way that the injectable is. So we're not worried about that. We recommend it. Absolutely.
43:43Speaker 2I recommend it. Still. I do it. Yep. Yeah. I was curious how you were going to answer that.
43:49Speaker 2So it was funny. Like we said, we don't talk about these until we sit down, which is always, it's been a lot better, but I
43:55Speaker 2don't know, man. I'm going to say, just get on testosterone. Sorry, this is my thing. I mean, your levels are there. You feel good, but you could feel freaking amazing.
44:04Speaker 2you could be like, Oh my gosh, I forgot how good that you can feel. That's testosterone. And that's just my opinion now. For whatever reason, you want to hold off each his own man. I respect it. I just think that it's easy fix. That's why I want to know your age. If you were 34, that would answer would probably be a little bit different. It's like, keep where you're at, man, and see what you could do. But at your age, I would say definitely go on TRT.
44:32Speaker 2What is your current lifestyle, calorie intake? Those things are going be huge. I don't think that you should do
44:41Speaker 2In my opinion, I don't know if you were going to agree with that, but you can. But again, I think if you get your hormones optimized,
44:48Speaker 2you're feeling great now with what also is going to happen is these peptides are going to work way better because you're hormonally optimized. So if you feel good now, you're going to feel great. And the money you're spending on that peptides are going to be worth more because they're going to work better. So that's my stance.
45:24Speaker 2losing weight. Mind you, he is a busy father, husband, and worker, so he doesn't schedule time for the gym and eats on the go. He's just
46:17Speaker 2I would just, I just want to like it be done right now because he's not gonna be willing to work out. Come on bro. Like here, I'm going be blunt with you because it's just, I think that it's deserved
46:26Speaker 2right here. We're all busy fathers. I can guarantee it doesn't work as much as me and this dude, but we still make time for the gym and we still make time to better our lives. And here's my stance on it. Our children are products of the product.

47:44Speaker 2Either your kids are gonna become that. So if you're not gonna lift weights and you're not gonna better your life because you're busy, your kids are going to be like that in my opinion. They're worthless products of the products, man. And that's, I scream it from the rooftops that,
48:01Speaker 2I'll give you a perfect example because I'm not perfect. So my wife today asked me if I would take my son to school. And I said, I have to go prepare for a podcast. There's just no way, babe.
48:10Speaker 2And Alcoholics Anonymous has taught me a lot. 1 of the best lessons is I'm not responsible for my 1st thought, but I am responsible for my Now 2nd I go outside and do some breathing techniques and some grounding. And as I did that, I ended in a prayer and I caught up to myself, which my 2nd thought was,
48:26Speaker 2take your kid to school. So I told her I'd take him to school. And not only that, I didn't rush. I took him to get a donut and I sat with him and I talked with him about life. I talked with him about his birthday weekend coming up because we're taking him to Legoland this weekend.
48:41Speaker 2God smacked me in the face for almost missing that. You know? And like, I say that because we're all freaking busy, dude. Like,
48:49Speaker 2so get your butt in the gym and you're going to lose some weight. We don't, you don't get anything
48:58Speaker 2and that's life. You need to, we're not going to take injections for the rest of your life. The objective is to fix your life,
49:15Speaker 2And then these things are on top are going to work. If you're just trying to build the 3rd Floor without the base, you're going to have the same problem. It doesn't matter, dude. So I'm going to challenge you to
49:33Speaker 2and get your ass in the gym and this stuff will work better. Sorry, I'm so blunt, but it's just my style.
49:45Speaker 3eating on the go and the cal not a calorie deficit. Like none of these peptides are going to overcome
49:56Speaker 3also like when 1 giant thing so 15 mg of Retta. Mean, just in fact, so that's like That's the most you can do. Maxed out dose. Okay?
50:15Speaker 3mg of Retta, which is right above the starting dose. Yeah. Right? Like what makes us think that that would actually do anything
50:26Speaker 3this, a lot of the weight you'd lost, right, you've also, like, again, we talked about this, killed our natural drive to want to eat because tirzepatide
50:36Speaker 3appetite. Okay? So your body is trying to fight back against that so hard the whole time. Now that you've stopped it, it gets unleashed.
50:46Speaker 3Now we're barely taking any Retta. So no doubt probably experienced a whole lot of appetite come back and even stronger
51:03Speaker 3want to default back to JD's answer is it's not really just all about just pumping the drugs and up and upping doses and upping doses. Right? Like, light so a whole lot of lifestyle needs to change,
51:18Speaker 3and tough it out. Like, cool, man. In in in good. Okay. In the interim, let's increase the increase the Retta
51:41Speaker 2You gotta prove it. You want to get literally, like, seriously, like, dude, I will have to, if I had to, I'd wake up at 2 to go to the damn gym. I just would get it in. Now I'm programmed myself to be that. It wasn't overnight, but you gotta start you
51:56Speaker 2gotta start retraining your brain, dude. Like, you're a badass. You're a warrior. Have it's inside of your soul, That's where warrior makers came from. Tap into that shit,
52:17Speaker 3Yeah, I think so. Okay. What's up guys? I've been following you since January. I love the insight and content about peptides and wellness. I'm a firefighter in Texas or in treatment Texas, man. And was involved in a bad accident in 2025. I have burns to my hands, which required partial amputations to fingertips
52:33Speaker 3and 2nd degree burns around my body. Damn. So a body got me in a buddy got me into peptides, which have been amazing and helped me immensely with recovery.
52:48Speaker 3God they let you back in to do that. Good for you and them. I recommended to wellness. I recommitted
52:55Speaker 3to wellness and dialing in my diet. I was 2 80 pounds when I started and now 2 20. I currently take TRT, BPC, KPV, TB,
53:04Speaker 3and of course the amazing Retta 3 mgs in cycling in and out other fat burners. Any other suggestions and other protocols for recovery 1 and just keeping up the good fight
53:14Speaker 2on growing old, but staying optimized. Thanks again. Keep out the rad work. You guys are awesome. Love it. That's rad dude. Yeah. I mean, I'll speak for probably Will and I, if you, however you follow us on our channels, like we would love if you could shoot me a demon, tell me that you're this guy, we'll help you out a little bit because 1st
53:31Speaker 2off, you lost weight just you've been through that. We are huge, huge supporters of police.
53:40Speaker 2So shoot me a DM, please, if you don't mind. And, we'd like to help you out with some stuff.
53:44Speaker 2In regards to what you should take, I think you're running it right. Are you T are you on TRT? What is your age? Brother? I do not know. So that plays a big role in how you answer this.
54:03Speaker 2That's going to help with you and your injuries a lot. I would say jump and go to HGH dude because of that.
54:13Speaker 2Does say that. He is. Yeah. I currently take TRT. Okay, cool. I missed that. I'm sorry. So cool. So you are so, NAD SS-31I
54:24Speaker 2for sure. And, again, hit us up wherever you find our channels, let us know it's you wounded fireman, and we'd like to give you something.
54:47Speaker 3HGH or an HGH secretagogue, Tesamorelin, Epimorelin. It'll help burn fat. It'll help keep muscle on you. It'll help add more muscle
55:13Speaker 2of fact, that's awesome. Yeah. You lost a ton of weight, dude. Good on you. Standing. Thank you.
55:24Speaker 2Have you heard of any, have you heard of anyone with Barrett's syndrome taking BPC-157
55:35Speaker 2for my condition. I don't really want to take that the rest of my life. I'm doing GLO lately and CLO on the way. Doing every other day with BPC on the other days. Thanks for your input. I listen to every episode. All right.
55:54Speaker 2It sucks. I've dealt with it for a long time. I've gone to a couple of different GI doctors and it's horrible. What has worked for me,
56:10Speaker 2A Doctor. Scott, which I didn't put this together, but thinks it's the gut is actually now kind of causing this constant.
56:18Speaker 2Another doctor actually came in and actually agreed with us, so that made me feel better.
56:26Speaker 2Every night, if I eat carbs, I will be literally burping up food. I know it's disgusting, but that is what gernd is. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. I ice cream. I kind of burp up ice cream and have to spit it, spit it out. It sucks to hear. I know it's gross. My wife calls it a spit cup, but it sucks. So I feel for you is my point. It literally sucks.
56:53Speaker 2for 50 days, and then the VIP for 10 days. If we do not have that protocol up on the website, we'll put it up.
57:06Speaker 2Because he's the person that we trust. He'll run a, he'll run a, blood panel and he'll probably for you need to run a stool test.
57:15Speaker 2And, he's going to have to reboot your gut, which, you know, so little tricks of my trade.
57:31Speaker 2man, but, it's also hell. So I feel, feel you on that. So cut down or at least lower your carbs really has helped for me if I eat like chips and stuff. Gosh, I'm paying for it all night. It's horrible. Some of the reason I've done carnivore.
57:46Speaker 2So yeah, that's kind of what I got. I think that you're killing it in regards to some of the stuff you're taking, but I don't think this is going to heal you. You got to heal the gut and really reboot it.
58:08Speaker 3So I hope that helped. Yeah. Think GHK-3s): Getty's better expert on this 1, but like BPC
58:45Speaker 3So I would try it, see what it could help a lot, but maybe not completely fix the issue, but we don't really know. And then I would actually, yeah,
58:55Speaker 2I worked to go find a doctor and do everything else JD just said. Yeah, it sucks, man. I feel free to it. It sucks. It's horrible. But for whatever reason here we are.
59:05Speaker 2Take the time to try to heal that gut as I am, and I'll keep you posted. Cause you know, I post everything about every channel I have, how I'm feeling on everything. So I'm very blunt. If it sucks, it sucks. If I'm being fixed,
59:19Speaker 2start from there. We trust him. We're working on a couple of other doctors actually that,
59:24Speaker 2are kind of similar in regards to their approach to things. So we'll be kind of putting them on there too. So it's like Barrett's Barrett's syndrome, right? The root cause is
59:52Speaker 3BPC has evidence actually for both of those to affect both of them, but the gastric motility, for sure, basically move things moving through your GI tract. Right?
1:00:21Speaker 2are great. Wow. These are probably the best set of questions I think so far, not to knock the other questions. They just really, again, give us your age, weight,
1:00:37Speaker 2We don't know anything about you, but that will help us answer these, but great questions guys.
1:00:44Speaker 2people out in the stands, we're gonna have Joe Brown, who is a good friend of mine. He's actually been somewhat of a good friend, but a mentor. He really helped me when I 1st started my
1:00:54Speaker 2Instagram channel, he was a big part of that. So I'm going have him on my personal podcast and then Will and I are going to sit with him on peptide podcast because he is a very big peptide kit and, he used to be overweight
1:01:06Speaker 2and, I met him when he was, and, now he is ripped. And so we're gonna dig into some of his, protocols. Brilliant. Guys insanely off the charts, intelligent.
1:01:21Speaker 2any Joe Brandt fans, you will love this 1. It'll be, it'll be cool. He's a good guy. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Join school. Look at those. If you want the, in-depth protocols,
1:01:35Speaker 2like even like steroid stacks and stuff like that. We're not saying you should, we're just saying that we people are going to do it because we had questions. So we put some of that stuff together on the VIP.
1:01:45Speaker 2Because that's where some of those questions are. So need to add the VIP. It's not about money. It's about the time that it takes to do all this stuff. Extremely busy, especially this guy that's all this stuff makes it look good.
1:02:02Speaker 2We do not want to do anything 0.5 last year and we were, you know, we've just, we've been busy. We're So going to spend the time to put a really good 1 so people can come and meet the team and we want to meet you more importantly.
1:02:15Speaker 2So we will be working on that, but we do have something brewing around the 27th, which we will drop around the 27th. So other than that, we'll catch you next round. We appreciate you. Good night.
