Peptide Q&A #47 – TRT & Hair Loss, Blood Work Panels, HCG vs Clomid & Autoimmune

Episode notes

Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas cover TRT and hair loss fears, severe histamine reactions, HCG vs Clomid for fertility on TRT, autoimmune protocols, building muscle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and cognitive function peptides for older men.

Chapters:

We cover:

• TRT & Hair Loss at 47: Why DHT is the culprit, why a very low starting dose may minimize the risk, and why how you feel should outrank how much hair you have

• Autoimmune, Gut Healing & Inflammation: Why oral BPC and KPV beat Klow for gut-focused protocols, the TA-1 and LL-37 VIP sequence for autoimmune, and what to watch for during flares

• Shoulder Stabilization Recovery at 21: Why aggressive daily dosing of BPC and TB-500 beats conservative approaches and why movement accelerates healing

• Retatrutide Not Moving the Scale: Why feeling leaner and weight staying flat means body recomposition is working and why itchy skin typically resolves on its own

• Blood Work Panels for a 64-Year-Old: Why DEXA scan, IGF-1, ApoB, ferritin, thyroid panel and homocysteine matter most and where to find the full list in the school

• TRT at 33 with Testosterone at 145: Why N-Clomiphene beats Clomid, when to use HCG vs when to save it for fertility, and how to read early estrogen warning signs

• Building Muscle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth & Post-Menopause: Why adding Ipa to Tesamorelin, cycling IGF-1 LR3 short term, and potentially pulling Retatrutide to eat more may be the real answer

• Severe Full-Body Histamine Reaction: Why CJC is the most common culprit, how to systematically reintroduce one compound at a time, and why slower injection into fat reduces reactions

• Chilblains & Cold Feet from Autoimmune: Why KPV injectable, TA-1, Wolverine and oral BPC beat prescription antibiotics for this condition

• Cognitive Function Peptides at 64: Why Dihexa, Pinealon, Cerebrolysin, Semax, Selank and Modafinil are the right tools and how they each work differently on the brain
