1:13Speaker 1Across the way, Mr. William T Hawk. What's up, dude? Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday. It's
1:21Speaker 2Juggling a lot. No, man. Juggling a lot. We were on vacation, not vacation, but we took an airplane trip last week,
1:34Speaker 2Yeah. A lot done though. Tired from there. Then we had Father's Day. Father's Day was cool.
1:44Speaker 2well, yeah, he's not too mobile. Like, he isn't gonna come up here, but we did talk about he wants to think about relocating down here. Yeah, you said that. And
1:58Speaker 2you, I was a bigger pain in the ass than you have been to me so far in my life. Right? Because I was, he had to change my diapers as a little kid and that's a big pain in the ass and expensive. So I will repay the favor. It's crazy how our parents are getting that age.
2:15Speaker 2you know, your parents were like the rock, right? They were strong and they could do everything. They could fix everything. They always had their shit together, whether they didn't, they probably didn't, right? Because they feel like us, but you thought they did. They sure did more than us as a kid. And there comes a point where as you grow up, there comes a point that they
2:41Speaker 2Uh-oh, they need some help maybe. And there's a worry there. It's kind of an intro. I definitely like noticed that and felt that when that, when that happened. Life comes full circle. Yeah, it does.
3:09Speaker 1That's like, but you like this. I'm like, dude, I gotta go like take my truck to help somebody move. Damn it. But it's like,
3:15Speaker 2you're helping them move, dude. And like, that's the point. If, like they say in our program, right? If this is not an inconvenience in your life, you're doing it wrong. Right.
3:34Speaker 1he went to Jackson's jujitsu. That was awesome. Then we all went to breakfast and my daughter came with her
3:40Speaker 12 daughters, so my 2 granddaughters. And so I have a whole family. It was cool. We gave him 1 of those,
3:50Speaker 1He loves that stuff. You know what I mean? He loves that stuff. So it's cool. But yeah, they're getting old dude. My dad's getting old. He,
3:58Speaker 1just like we are shit. I'm be 49 in like a week. I'm heading to Cabo on Sunday for my birthday,
4:07Speaker 1say we're traveling now. I am, I'm traveling the next week. And then the phase of the following week,
4:12Speaker 1So 2 weeks from then we're going to Prague. Prague. And Will's going to Italy. I'm going to Italy after. He's making it a trip. Making it a whole trip. Cool. Are you guys making it expensive
4:22Speaker 2trip? Yeah. Well, there's nothing like that, like traveling that far. It's like an expensive trip. And like peak time with no notice. Right? Like we just decided to do this
4:45Speaker 2so do it. No, problem. Just it while we're there and it's cool. Do you, are you guys like,
4:50Speaker 1will you go like check out all the hotspots of like Italy and stuff for you, that type of people? Or are just like, can you say you will and you won't like my wife and I? No, no. I'm actually very realistic about this. Like I set low expectations
5:02Speaker 2and I do not here's what I hate doing on vacation is like dry is transit during the day. Yeah. It's like transit time. I'm not driving 4 hours Yeah. To go see something for an hour and then 4 hours back. That's the absolute worst. So here is the plan. We're so we're go to Prague. We're gonna stay Friday night, leave Saturday night,
5:34Speaker 2Across a little land bridge, there's a point here, but it's really all the Amalfi Coast, but
5:39Speaker 2Sorrento is a little bit more relaxed. Positano is where the action is, but so we're gonna stay 2 days there.
5:45Speaker 2I probably will propose to her at that point. Sweet. Just to get it out of the damn way. Yeah. Might be thinking about the whole time, bro. Italy.
6:01Speaker 2which isn't that long of a boat ride. It's like a private would take like a private boat ride to Capri, spend the day there. It's just a little island, whatever. Maybe I'll propose to her there. I need to go ask the hotel plus this 1st hotel is like, like 5 star, like full service. I will literally go there and say, Hey, do you guys have a photographer or somebody to suggest or something like that That can take the pictures of this. Right? So
6:26Speaker 2Then we, then we're going to either boat across or take the 5 minute and highway drive to Positano where we're staying right in the middle of everything
6:35Speaker 2or 5 nights. Cool. That sounds fun. Like walkable at all, like restaurants and stuff. Absolutely. I hear the food is amazing. Food's gonna be amazing. And
6:45Speaker 2staying in a hotel that isn't so funny, like all these are built into a cliff, Right? So sometimes, it's 800 steps to get to your hotel room every day. Right? That's a lot, even though it'd probably be good for us. But,
6:57Speaker 2we're staying at 1 that is not I mean, they're all expensive, but it's kind of on the side. It's overlooking the beach, and it's right there in the middle of everything. What we have realized going on vacations is we would rather stay in a hotel that maybe isn't as nice,
7:17Speaker 2in the middle of everything, right? Where it's just out of door and like, boom, it's loud and
7:41Speaker 2So that was so that's gonna be fun. And then, so 4 days there, then we fly to or train or whatever to Lake Como.
7:54Speaker 2That's right. Northern tip, Lake Como. It's really long and it is gorgeous. Everything's freaking gorgeous. Stay there for 3 nights. That's more like chill,
8:16Speaker 1Gotta tell you, I've known Will a long time. We were always wondering if that day would come and it's, you know, when he started dating Allie, they dated before and then they broke up for a while with the, yeah, that's something that was different when you,
8:31Speaker 1I don't remember the conversation, but you maybe, I think you asked me something or somehow we were on the conversation how,
8:36Speaker 1you know, cause I had that same issue, like I would keep bringing in arms length for whatever reason. And then,
8:45Speaker 1enough to the degree where like that wall that you don't even know is there, a protection that you don't even know is there to protect yourself that you put up. And then it's just easy. You just realize you can be with somebody for the rest of your life when you're,
9:01Speaker 2I think I had to get older. I there's no way. Nothing wrong with that dude. There's no way I could have gotten married at 24
9:08Speaker 1or something. You know what I mean? I just wasn't like- Well, you can't like most people when they get divorced. Right.
9:17Speaker 2So you know what? I remember the conversation you said, look, when you meet a girl, right, there's this honeymoon period about 4 months or so. We're like, oh, she's awesome, awesome. And then you kind of settle in
9:26Speaker 2and then you go, oh, shoot, I'm kind of sick of you. Right? And you had told me just Break through it. Ride that out.
9:32Speaker 1Did. Remember that. I'm surprised you remember that. Yeah, I do. I didn't. I think that was- because I broke up with Alyssa. Yeah. Yeah. And What am I doing? You did that. Yeah. Yep.
9:40Speaker 2And and I guess, you know, I needed a lot of life experience. Right? I needed to compare things.
9:58Speaker 2she still does it for me, like sexually. Right? This is super important. It is important. For sure. She checks all the boxes that I needed, like there's nothing and she and almost most uniquely, she does
10:12Speaker 1Bugs you. That bugs me. Do things. I just can't stand. Right? There's always that. That's always happened where it's like, oh, I just there's no way I can deal with that for the rest of my life. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. That's, that's, yeah, I get it. I like, well, like, it's funny because like we were gone. I think, I don't know if I'd said this already, but we were gone and like, I was looking for a break because my kids are nuts and I love them, but they're crazy.
10:32Speaker 1But dude, then you like, you just, when you're anywhere, you're almost like you're 0.5 there because your bride becomes like, there is something sacred about like, when you say I do, I swear to God, you will notice it. It does change
10:45Speaker 1in your head. I don't care about the ring or nothing. I have my tattooed, but like it's
10:50Speaker 1it changes. I've been married twice and it does. It's sacred dude and she's your bride and like a man's job is protect her till death. You know what I mean? So you'll feel it, man. It's different than just living with a gal. Yeah. Absolutely.
11:02Speaker 2And and we were talking about this at dinner. It's like, gosh, it's getting kind of old. Like, we're old, we're too old, or we've been together too long. It just feels awkward to tell people like, oh, I'm waiting for my girlfriend.
11:16Speaker 1fiance. Fiance is That a sounds weird too though. Like when you 1st, because you're changing like, I'm my fiance, but then that, and then when you say you're, I say bride. I just always say bride for some reason. I heard somebody say that and it just stuck.
11:27Speaker 2My bride. I know you do. You know I mean? But we've, yeah, I don't know. I'm excited about that. Were 2 guys, guess, who were, I gosh, for lack of a way to say it, womanizers.
11:36Speaker 1I mean, let's just call it what it is, you know, not like we're proud of it, but it is what it is. I never thought that,
11:42Speaker 1like truthfully never thought that what I had with my wife existed. Like I didn't think I could be with 1 woman and just be, I've been with her almost 14 years. August is 14 years and like, dude, I fall more in love with her. I mean, my wife is a gym,
12:07Speaker 2I don't fight with her. Don't drink with Once in a while it's like a fight, but it's like a tiny. So that does help. And I'll get jealous and nobody does anything cause jealousy because we don't drink. Mostly. I mean, not mostly, like we just don't. So her and I are totally not like that.
12:23Speaker 2a 100% must. Yeah. She's always asked me, like, can I go to Vegas or whatever with my family? Yeah. Fuck it. There you go.
12:30Speaker 1Like, you know, most guys apparently are like No. What are you wearing? Oh gosh. Like, Just giving shit on unattractive.
12:42Speaker 2It's horrible. So yeah, there's that. And then everybody who came in and visited us on Friday, that was dope.
12:54Speaker 1man, it was just cool to like meet people to the degree where like somehow along the way, whatever, you know, the channels we have is touch some people's souls. That guy that came from, I think it was Montana and he got his kids. Like, you weren't there when he said this, but he's like, you guys saved me. Like, I just wasn't living up to like the man that I was supposed to be. And he's like, I've just been listening to you guys. Like, that stuff is powerful, dude. That was organic. Came in our hat and like the cutoff shirt, the JD's way. I cut his son's shirt.
13:20Speaker 1Oh dude, it was so cool. So like, that stuff, if you listen to what most of you probably are, if you guys are listening, man, it meant the world to us.
13:31Speaker 2we had a guy come in, I'm sorry dude, I forgot your name, but I guarantee you're watching because he's seen, he knew everything. And
13:38Speaker 2I won't even tell any details about you, but you know who you are if you're listening. He and his wife and his buddy were here. Right? And I told him, yeah, I'm gonna do the proposal. And she's like, tell him about how you proposed to me. Uh-oh.
13:52Speaker 2Okay. Married. Okay. Let's go. Yeah. He basically, like, had the ring ready to do it and he was just nervous. Yeah. At the restaurant, didn't do it. Then they went to go walk on the boardwalk
14:05Speaker 2do it. Then they sat in the car and apparently it goes and he just they sat down and he's like, I just gotta do it. He just opened the box. He goes, you wanna marry me? Or like, will you marry he goes, will you marry me if you want to? She even corrected him. She goes, yeah, if you want to.
14:20Speaker 2That was the 1 that was. Dude, well, I was gonna tell you because I figured you know this, but like, this is a state of the office. Get on your knee, dude. Yeah. You gotta get on your knee. It's old school stuff, but like, dude, trust me. You gotta get on your knee. But you know what? But I know that like him, like, I knew Alyssa was gonna say yes. Is nerve wracking, dude. Like, there was nobody around on the beach either. And like, I was like, oh man. Especially in pub I mean, that's what will scare me too. But, yes, I will do that. Be prepared. For this guy who had just told the story, like, I it's funny is the good thing about that story is Yes. Well, she said yes. And he well, he did say, yeah, I made up for it, like, 5 years later. Like, I got her a new a brand new ring, like in secret, a new ring where we put the old ring on her necklace. But the thing is like, at least he was taking it serious. Like he was going, oh shit, this, what I say now,
15:07Speaker 2I better stand up to my word. Right? And that makes it all the more nervous. People who aren't very nervous are just like, well, fuck it. I'll just ask her this. I can just cut it off when I feel like it. So
15:28Speaker 1Get on knee. It will be great. You'll be near everybody. So you'll be fine. She'll say yes. Just can't have feeling. Before
15:40Speaker 1Brett, everybody came. It was awesome. Get on school. As you can see in some of these questions, people are talking about school, the community that we are
15:48Speaker 1forming is just something special about it. This, you know, We try to be as authentic and pure, it's just our personalities.
15:58Speaker 1glad that we're able to kind of touch some of your souls and you do touch our souls as well. Now, we also wanted to introduce our new producer, who's been basically a producer, but she got the that we gave her the actual nod, I think it was yesterday. And
16:11Speaker 1she is the actual our new producer is her new tag, and she has been amazing. And she's behind the boards and doing all the crazy stuff, making us sound good, making us look good. That's hard.
16:25Speaker 1And her name is Brandy. Brandy. I call her B, but Ms. Brandy. She brings me tea, she brings us, she takes care of us like we are like her sons. We call it oh, you it's mama b as your tag. But, yeah,
16:36Speaker 2we got a good crew, dude. So, something special going on, and, everybody feels it. So And that leaves an opening, actually, anybody who may be interested. But, like, Will now needs an assistant.
17:00Speaker 2Local has to Local, be you gotta be here. 100%. Yep. We are looking for somebody like right now. Yeah, I'm looking for somebody right now. And also another thing came up, do not
17:16Speaker 1I don't why. So that came up. It's just important. Like, we don't pay anybody to- Yeah, I don't think, I don't know if it's like typical that I've never been paid on a podcast, but hey.
17:24Speaker 1Anyways, yeah, well you get a lot of notoriety because there's 500,000 people- Yeah. That will see you a lot.
17:30Speaker 2So- We some, we got a guest coming up soon that it'll be, I'm looking forward to. And you know what, I have some other, we were talking about asking him questions. Yeah. I basically have some almost personal questions
17:48Speaker 1Like early on, like, that's the question. I have a lot of questions like that. Dude, like, dude, like even family members and stuff now, like I'm like so OCD and like, so like I would, I didn't even like having like the red little tag that said that I had a text, it would just OCD me. But then I got so many damn text messages that I just stopped looking at my text messages. So now like they build up and I like don't even look at my phone. So like, you never texted me back. I'm like, oh shoot, I forgot. Like, that's becoming now the opposite. I can look at my phone. Know you turn the ringer's never on because
18:18Speaker 2I just can't do it. It's making me literally crazy. Good problem, sir. All right. Yep. Let's get it kicked off the Q and A. Alright. Is rocking and rolling. Let's go. Number 1, I'm 47 and have an appointment with my doc this week to discuss starting TRT.
18:39Speaker 2I know these numbers are in range, but it would be nice to feel fully optimized. I lift 4 days a week, basketball 4 hours a week, 12,000 steps a day, meticulously track macros, etcetera. I wanna start TRT just to feel better
18:52Speaker 2overall and get the most out of the work I am putting in, but I'm hesitant because 2 reasons. I do not want my hair to fall out. Good. Mind you, I'm already on minoxidil, finasteride,
19:07Speaker 2So I am already doing everything possible to keep my hair at my age. My hair looks good, but I personally noticed the front is getting a little thinner. I'm afraid TRT might speed that up. I'm not sure if it would mess with my natural test considering my numbers aren't bad for 47 years old. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm so torn on what I should do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
19:45Speaker 2to, like, male pattern baldness, your hair will fall out a lot faster. If you're not, sometimes your hair grows faster. But then when you get a little bit older at 47,
19:54Speaker 2my guess is if you start tests, but it's gonna thin out and it just, it might accelerate it a little bit. Yeah. But the TRT, the amount of tests that you actually need to take
20:11Speaker 2to really feel a lot to feel a lot better. And I would agree, like 500 is good for 47. I mean, it's not great, but it's it's only in range and it's actually kind of probably the player, but you sure will feel a lot better adding a little bit more in. Now,
20:26Speaker 2that doctor, good luck having the doc, you better go to 1 of these clinics with doctors who are experienced and prescribe on symptoms and not
20:38Speaker 2or anything like that, it's not a private practice with these, they're not going to give you anything. You just So So you're high. You just yeah. You don't fit the mold there.
21:05Speaker 0to feel better, to do something you never thought possible, and this space starts with Ultra Fit. Unlike traditional running shoes, Ultra Fit gives toes more room to move naturally,

22:03Speaker 2I don't know, dude. Like, you could get an air transplant later if you don't like it. We got a guy.
22:10Speaker 2If we don't get like, you I would you know, you'll do so you'll do so little. I mean, if it was me, and I guess I am me, and I have done this. Like, I would do the test,
22:20Speaker 2and but a very low dose. Like, you probably could just almost start off with, like, 50 to 100 mg
22:27Speaker 2See what happens. Super low. Super duper low. And it may not affect your hair, but like, bro, it's thinning
22:38Speaker 2I would actually, that's a really low dose. I'd be curious to see what that did to your numbers.
22:44Speaker 2Super low, but he's overrated at 5. Like if he wants to get it to like 8, that just might do it because his testicular function is very good. Now,
23:08Speaker 2while running tests. Plus that's such a low dose. It all depends, man. You the more you run, the faster it shuts you down. Right? The longer you run this Yeah. The more you're gonna get shut down. So,
23:23Speaker 2you'll be shut down a little less than those people and you'll probably bounce back faster, but you are getting older and they're bounced back for everybody no matter what declines
23:34Speaker 1So I'll only answer it from my perspective because I'm me, like Pose just said, I'm not as worried about that. I've been running testosterone for a long time. I'd rather feel really good than my hair is the 2nd seat to that, but you are you and I'm me. I always look at it like, how do you feel? Like in re let's like the hair thing you're going to have to deal with yourself. It could thin it out. It might not. I don't think it will be that bad,
23:58Speaker 1but it could. So you'll have to deal with that 1. In regards to the testosterone 1, I would do it at 47.
24:10Speaker 1think you'll feel better. How's your energy? How's your libido? How is your motivation? How's your strength? How's your sleep? Those things will all improve
24:19Speaker 1And to me, are extremely important. So they take the top seat over, should I might not, you know, lose my hair. So
24:27Speaker 1if you feel good and you feel like your libido is prime, then wait a little bit because there will be a time that you need it. And if you don't have those kick in and you think that you can improve on,
24:39Speaker 2myself. You deal with hair issue yourself, my brother. I also noticed like doing a secretagogue or actual HGH
24:54Speaker 2And you could What's your idea of 1? That I would that's something to try to maybe maybe even 1st if you're really that worried about the hair, True. It might
25:01Speaker 2just make you feel better and really enhance and make you more, more full optimized. You'll feel tired at 1st
25:07Speaker 1usually from the HGH. That's generally happens for a lot of people, but you ride it out. And then because we've said it, it's a longer play, but HGH, I think pretty much anybody over 40 dude.
25:39Speaker 1Since then, I've developed an autoimmune disorder and recently started Retrutide, losing another 20 pounds in 2 months. I'm very active, eat clean due to stomach issues and was also taking Semax,
26:03Speaker 1I'm unsure if that's the best fit. My main goal is gut healing and reducing inflammation.
26:25Speaker 2Great question. That's a good 1. You want take it? Go ahead. But then I will also add on at the end. So you, you I
26:32Speaker 1would like to know what your autoimmune is. You're very it's a very common thing for people to deal with autoimmunity
26:40Speaker 1So it's common. KPV is absolutely great for that. Clo compared to, you know, I like them separate. I would say this is what my recommendation
27:03Speaker 1like the Wolverine because you've heard us say it, you can run our higher doses of it. So I would actually keep that separate.
27:20Speaker 1And if you don't feel like you have issue with skin and hair and nails and all that stuff, then you don't necessarily need the GHK- CU. How old is she? 39. If
27:29Speaker 1you feel like that's good, then that's going to save you money. Now, if it's not that big of a deal and you just want to run the cloak, cool. It works equally as well. I would run just the KPV injectable
28:01Speaker 2thing for my gut inflammation? For gut and inflammation? No. The best possible thing I think is
28:11Speaker 2Great. Which you can get easily. You can just let us know and we can we can help you out with where to get that. So
28:25Speaker 2else it's gonna do for you and that stuff ain't bad. You totally could take even the Clo and what I just said.
29:03Speaker 1I don't think it's every autoimmune because there's a lot of them, but I think the majority of them, his attack is TA-one for
29:14Speaker 1believe for 40 days as well at a super low dose, like I think it's 100 micrograms and then 10 days of VIP.
29:23Speaker 1I don't remember the VIP, it's low dose as well. And VIP will like flush you like crazy.
29:29Speaker 1We took way too much when we 1st got it. Were like, woah. Like it's immediate. I was like, I think I took much too much. Yep. You're white, you're red, bro. And the VIP the VIP after that protocol is to,
29:40Speaker 2is for the to combat the Herxheimer syndrome. So basically, like, the LL-thirty 7 is clearing bacteria
29:53Speaker 2then your body, wow, gets hit from this bacteria and people can, that's what they call like a Herxheimer reaction.
30:00Speaker 2VIP will come in and then flush them secondarily out of you. That's why it's 10 days. Oops. Yep. Quick go. So try that. Now, autoimmunes,
30:08Speaker 1you deal with 1. So just be careful with the TA-one because there are some people, if it is inflamed contingent upon what it is, I've
30:20Speaker 1There's generally like a beacon on it that like if you if your immune system's running low, it will ramp it up and vice versa.
30:30Speaker 1if you have an flare of it, it can actually increase it. So I don't want to throw you off too much, but just be careful because I deal with that myself. So
30:47Speaker 2I'm up. Hey, guys. Hi, guys. Love the podcast. I'm 21 year old male who, who is contemplating using BPC-one hundred 57 plus TB-five hundred,
30:56Speaker 2to heal my shoulder from existing issues spanning back 7 years ago. I had stabilization
31:08Speaker 2league. It was advised at the time to let it naturally heal and build it through weight training. But today I'm still noticing a slight range of motion
31:18Speaker 2and fears of re aggravating it in specific exercises or movements. And I'm wondering if by using this stack,
31:31Speaker 2I did sublux it again last year and I haven't had any major concerns since then. It doesn't give me any pain at all, but there's often signs or small tendencies that it could pop out again or restrict my gym progression in compound movements
31:47Speaker 2Piece of cake. Hell yeah, that will help. Again, there's no guarantees, right? I'm not going to tell you- Yeah, go, yeah, worsen it. But it can't worsen it. And I mean, I just
32:04Speaker 2day and then not for a couple of days, like just get after it really hard and go aggressive. Like dude, if you can, if you can financially afford
32:21Speaker 2right into the spot, right? Or just around it, you know, make a triangle. So we really fully saturate
32:32Speaker 1it will fix it. Yeah. There's a reason why this would be the 1 that we would choose, the peptide that we would choose both. I will have said that numerous times if we only had 1 because we will live wait till we die and we are going to take that 1 because it freaking works. Really works. And that's the lowest effective
32:49Speaker 2dose is probably a BPC is like 0.5 of a milligram. And so when I said between 2 and 5 mg of
32:55Speaker 2each, that's aggressive, but I mean, I would at least try to, I mean, at least 1 mg of each daily
33:02Speaker 2for a month. The more the better though. That it is, this is a case like there's not much,
33:11Speaker 1if you can just take a bath in this stuff with it, injecting you everywhere, the better. But he said, I think an important part, I don't think it will even hit on as much as we probably should.
33:27Speaker 1it's, it works if you do it like how it's supposed to do. Yeah. And TV, the Wolverine, you need to do it daily for like 30 to 40 days. It,
33:35Speaker 1I won't say a 100%, but it'll be damn near a 100 help you a lot and you'll feel great. You lift heavy, but you do it, got to do it properly. Very important. And those of you out there like don't, to heal an injury folks, we don't just rest it. Like especially don't
33:49Speaker 2inject BPC and then do nothing. Okay. It will heal about 5 times as slow as if you inject BPC and move it, right? You need blood.
33:59Speaker 2you're looking in dull aching pain is good. What you don't want is sharp pain. Like sharp pain means, all right, probably
34:15Speaker 1dose it and maybe another 30 days, like 3 times a week. Well, so you're 21. So when you get into your forties, like what the pain you're feeling is a daily, it doesn't even matter.
34:24Speaker 1Like we're going to the gym, no matter what you go to the gym and Burton almost every day because this is the way of life. All
34:31Speaker 1right. You. Hello, Pepatide of the week podcast fam. Thank you so much for all your help. Week, the podcast is great. I'm 63
34:40Speaker 1in the gym weight training 5 days a week. Good for you. I have a decent amount of muscle mass and have just started Retta. I'm 3 weeks in, started on 1 mg per week on my 3rd week now up to 2 megs.
34:53Speaker 1I'm still eating at my maintenance calories Monday through Friday with no real issue on weekends, eating less as I'm busier.
35:01Speaker 1I'm loving having no food noise on the weekends and being able to eat smaller portions.
35:07Speaker 1However, I'm not sure if Retta is working for me. My weight has been fluctuating from 62.6
35:18Speaker 1I'm not losing weight as much, but feel leaner. I'm also noticing a side effect of itchy arms and legs. Is that normal?
35:35Speaker 2You're just because the scale says you're not losing weight or you're losing a little bit of weight, right? You do feel leaner, you probably look leaner, your clothes probably fit better. So like this is a good size.
35:44Speaker 2Ret is doing exactly what it should be doing, which is burning fat and allowing you to keep your muscle. In fact, maybe even might even be adding muscle, right? This is what we call like
36:03Speaker 1the itchy arms and then JD, you got to maybe speak on this a little bit more, but that is a thing. It's common. That's a common thing. Some people like have a problem putting their shirt on. It's just, it's, it's short lived. I've never had it, but it's
36:16Speaker 1pretty common. So it happens a lot of times it's, you might need to go down for a little bit, but you're not taking much. So,
36:23Speaker 2I think you'll be fine if you just it'll, it'll subside. Yeah. If it doesn't, I wouldn't do that. I would, I'd maybe like drop it down and then just ever so slightly, just slowly titrate up, titrate back up. But
36:42Speaker 1that's funny because we were dealing with that a lot, like months ago. We hadn't had that pop up actually in a while. And this is you're eating your maintenance calories. That what I was saying? Yeah.
36:53Speaker 2Okay. Still eating my maintenance calories. I don't know how you define maintenance calories, but I define maintenance calories as not being in a caloric deficit and therefore you will not lose weight. Like,
37:11Speaker 2right? Your basal metabolic rate, right? Which is the amount of calories that a person burns in a 24 hour period at rest in a coma. Okay. Let's
37:31Speaker 2because you move around, right? You probably can expect to burn at least another 2,000 calories a day. So therefore you can be at a negative of 2,000 calories. It's 3,500 calories in a pound. If we can burn 35 we had a deficit of 3,500 calories
37:52Speaker 2just check your food, I guess, just make sure that we you know that on the same page. Keep going.
38:20Speaker 2Yes, it's working, I bet. And it would just, it's going to snowball and keep working and keep working and keep working better. I think because you've heard so much out there that Retta
38:35Speaker 1not an overnight thing. So it's been 3 weeks. Let it do what it do. I can guarantee you feel lighter. I guarantee it. You've kind of said that in so many words,
38:48Speaker 1Do you feel lighter? You can feel that. And I can tell you that you do. So just let it do what it do. It will work. It is a certainty, but if you're eating above the calorie, like you said, that part's math. You do need to eat less if you want to lose weight. That part's always been what it is.
39:27Speaker 1in the last 8 weeks since I've started Reta. Current peptide use Reta 3 mgs once a weekly
40:01Speaker 1what tests above the minimum? Thanks to GLOW getting close to being back into full time strength training regimen. Awesome. At my age, what
40:20Speaker 2So to answer the, what other blood test panels that you should have, here's the best thing I can do is if you go into our school,
40:33Speaker 2man should ask a doctor for to get a very good snapshot of what their body looks like. Okay. So if you go into our school platform and we can, we can, send
40:51Speaker 2And there's a sheet that tells you every single panel that you should tell your doctor to check off. Okay. Instead of me reciting all of these, which I don't have memorized.
41:05Speaker 2That can tell you some really cool, some extra cool things about lean muscle mass and bone density and stuff like that. That is very helpful. More of a physical type scan, but, and some other stuff.
41:16Speaker 2And growth peptides, did, you're 64 years old. I think you're a prime candidate for actual
41:44Speaker 2your brain from maybe from many past trauma or actually like preparing it as you get older, right? Things slow down. Dihexa
42:39Speaker 1to help tackle DIY projects, home updates, and more. Whether you're drilling brackets to support new shelving or sharpening your hedge trimmer blade with an angle grinder, The Home Depot has the tools you need to check projects off your list. Shop Labor Day savings at The Home Depot and gear up for fall projects with the right tools to keep your projects moving.
43:00Speaker 2More on the actual neurons themselves. Cerebral eyes, and it's actually really interesting. It's not a single peptide.
43:09Speaker 2is pretty damn cool. It does a whole bunch of things to your brain to help you repair and increase your cognitive function. So
43:22Speaker 2Angiolytics Cmax is to help give you a little bit more brain energy, but Cmax is also a bit neuroprotective
43:42Speaker 1He didn't say if he was on TRT. So that part is, where that, where's that at? Are you hormonally optimized?
43:52Speaker 1running TRR, you're hormonally optimized because you're 64 dude, that is a must for you. And then we'll set it. I was figuring he was HGH
44:00Speaker 1without a doubt. I think that you're going to have a lot better just going to HGH than any secretagogue.
44:16Speaker 1sleep is important. So if you aren't about, if you're a bad sleeper, DSIP might get you into that REM sleep.
44:30Speaker 1I'll add Modafinil. It's not a peptide. We've talked about it. It's my favorite. I took 1 before this podcast as I do on every podcast because it just gives me just direct. I just just
45:04Speaker 1T4, and then ferritin are some options. Like Will said, we have, I should say he, this dude has been putting together so much content for before we even started our company. He's just been compiling those data forever.
45:20Speaker 1If you go into school and look around a little bit, a lot of people aren't looking around a little bit. It's endless information. That's, this will all be outlined there for you and it's all in your classroom. So it's just a wealth of knowledge there. The hardest part is like, I do have a ton of compiled information that's just making the last 5 go, like 95%
45:45Speaker 2yep, still working on- Keeps updates all the time. Yep. Will's nature. Yeah. All right. You dude. Okay. What's up guys? Thank you for Did I skip this 1? Nope. What's up guys? Thank you for everything that you do within the community. God bless you all and your team. Thank you. Thank you. I'm 33 year old male. So,
46:17Speaker 2My question is, should I keep this doctor's protocol or take out the Clomid and run HCG with it? Currently
46:33Speaker 225 mgs of NAD plus 4 times a week, 40 micrograms IGF-one pre workout. My fear is having my balls shrink and being infertile.
47:00Speaker 2other than that, like all the other problems in horror stories you hear about guys, everybody taking testosterone, those
47:05Speaker 2come with, well, freak accidents or just freak people have 1 little weird thing wrong with them or just heavy like abuse, running
47:23Speaker 2So I wouldn't, I hate Clomiphene. I think Clomiphene's old freaking news, dude. If anything, Enclomiphene,
47:53Speaker 2would do both. Yeah. No, I would. Okay. So I probably wouldn't do the Enclomiphene unless you're actually trying to make a baby right now. He's 33. You probably like, Oh right now. Yeah, right now. Okay. Like I would say, you'll kind of keep you working Cause your body
48:07Speaker 2can get a little used to this stuff. Like, don't want you to don't double up on them right now
48:13Speaker 2because then in a year is when you really want it. And now when you add those in and you just keep adding them in, they may not be as great and potent. So I would wait on the Enclomiphene, would kill the Clomiphene. I
48:28Speaker 2maintenance underneath there. I don't know, 500 micrograms or IUs, 7 50 IUs twice a week or something like that. And
48:44Speaker 2you know, like we had Doctor. Stanley on, don't use it unless you need it. Okay? So that is to help kill off your estrogen at 160
48:53Speaker 2mg a week, dude, your test levels already being low, I cannot see you having any estrogen issues. But if you do, what you're looking for is
49:02Speaker 2act any excess acne. Okay? Body, like, especially shoulders, body, damn, why am I having to get dotted out or something?
49:10Speaker 2Water retention. So if you look everywhere, right, excess water tension, you feel a little bit more look a little bit more bloated than you normally do. And then any nipple sensitivity. These nipples are sensitive, itchy, they hurt. Itchiness may actually, and I believe him, Jay Campbell didn't tell us that that can be a sign of just of elevated,
49:33Speaker 1I forgot about that. That is rad. I told you that I always would feel that. And now with that being said, because I'd never heard anybody say that, but I would actually call Doctor. Scott years ago and just be like, it's whenever I eat a lot of carbs, I feel like I have that itchy.
49:48Speaker 2And I was like, when he said that, I was like, oh my God, that's what it was. Maybe I didn't, maybe I wasn't like- Wasn't getting as much estrogen as I thought, singing all this AI for no reason. Yep. Crazy. But true nipple sensitivity and people get to prepare and like, you'll know, dude, if you, if you like it hurt, it hurts. And it takes like, once you start to feel that pain, you got a couple of weeks, man, your body is trying, basically your body is trying to grow a little, is trying to grow breasts.
50:15Speaker 2Anything grown there cannot be burnt off. It needs to be cut out. So if you start to feel some sensitivity, whack, okay. Or any of those 3 symptoms, okay. A lot of people present only 1, whatever. That's still 1 of those symptoms. Then
50:32Speaker 2And you basically introduce it. The goal is to take as little of that as possible while still having no side effects. So introduce it, but also the goal, you do not want to take it till you feel that stuff is gone and then stop taking it. Right? We don't want to let build, let the estrogen build, build, build, build. Oh, let's just kill it off then stop and then let it build up again and kill it off. The goal is to just keep it low 3 the whole time.
51:04Speaker 1gave those to you and told you to take them or if he gave those to you and said take them if you need them or especially the AI, I'd be curious if like you,
51:14Speaker 1is low. I mean, you are so low on your testosterone. I would probably go up to be honest with you. Does he say his age? But here's the thing, doctor is, I would actually say,
51:27Speaker 2No. No, no, no, no. It's like 50 mg starting dose. They give you 1st, they go here, you're going take a tiny little bit, come see me in a month. We're going to blood test you again
51:38Speaker 2and see how that changed. Now we're going to increase it. And they do that in very slowly incrementally. Wow. I've never seen their way up to like 200. So
51:47Speaker 2based because you were so low is probably why you started and gave you that starting dose at so high. Now it's not high, but it's high for what I think a doctor, their very 1st prescription is. Yeah. Well,
51:57Speaker 1I've, I mean, dude, you hear all kinds of stuff. Again, it is not 1 shoe size fits all for sure. So yeah, start with that 160, play it for, I would say more than a month. Would give it a couple of months, let it play out as an oil base. It takes like 3 weeks before you're gonna like actually feel anything.
52:13Speaker 1And then you go from there, man. You get to see how you feel, see how you feel. Your numbers are super low, so you're going to feel good.
52:21Speaker 1I'm out before you probably super tired, dude. Yeah, Clomiphene, I've never ran it because I just have read it just makes you feel like shit. So I have never ran it. So HCG,
52:33Speaker 1I use Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I'm not trying to stay fertile, but I am trying to keep my balls from shrinking.
52:41Speaker 1people say, why does it care? I care. So that's why I do it. So you do you, so I would run it. Excuse me.
52:48Speaker 1Like when you want to get pregnant, you're 33, I'm assuming you don't have kids. If you do already, then cool. But if you do, you know, you can hit us up again. And like, we've helped numerous friends like, and they've 100 percent have gotten pregnant
53:15Speaker 1Go to a private MD who is currently being trained in peptides, 140 pounds, five'one with super low BMR,
53:23Speaker 1but very small waist and tummy. Have a really hard time putting on muscle because I have choke hot
53:48Speaker 1daily SLU- sublinguals 2 times per day, weight train 2 times with trainer and 3 times by myself. You got this dialed girl.
53:57Speaker 1grams of protein. She's on it daily dialed in with nutrition. Is there anything else I can add to either preserve the muscle
54:06Speaker 1I have or put on more? Thank you for being personable, easy to understand and not douchey. Love the John 3 16 cards,
54:17Speaker 1Nope. Love it. Good stuff. That's awesome. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. This girl's dialed, man. I love it. She's put thought into this and that's stacked great. That is great.
54:28Speaker 2And you're asking the right question. I don't know to keep more muscle, right? With a low BMR generally that's because of low skeletal muscle.
54:46Speaker 2I know the 1 g per pound of body weight, but, and as a woman, you know, Hey, see if you can add in some more protein
54:53Speaker 2as a man like my, I would probably, I'm aiming for like 1.5 g of protein per pound of body weight. It's really, really, really hard, but like, but that's kind of, that's the goal.
55:13Speaker 2hormone is 1 of the biggest ways to do it. Right? You are taking Tessa, you're taking a full MIG of Tessa for a small, small person.
55:20Speaker 2If that's not causing water retention, then great. But maybe add in like maybe take that like Tessa Ip 10 mg plus 3 mg blend,
55:32Speaker 2in there relative to the Tesamorelin that will help your pulses and help preserve more muscle.
55:49Speaker 2can really help build on some muscle. And then the good thing is like the muscle you build, you should keep based on everything you are taking 3
56:15Speaker 1you're, you're eating, you're taking fat burners for the most part, you know, you know, the Retta you're taking
56:22Speaker 1AOD, which is going to burn fat and SLU- is going to burn fat, you know, and it's going to give you some, stamina. But, you could either, I bet you with what you're running and you seem like a super disciplined individual,
56:34Speaker 1you probably don't even need the Retta. Like if you want to be, if you want to gain muscle, you got to eat more, know? You And it sounds like that might be the problem. You're not eating enough, even though you're eating 140
56:49Speaker 1Might just need to eat more. I bet you that's just the problem. And that you're gonna maybe find that difficult on Retta.
56:59Speaker 1would do it. You know, make sure you're taking creatine, make sure you're sleeping well.
57:05Speaker 1think that would work. The IGF-one would definitely help a little bit, especially for women. Oh my gosh.
57:16Speaker 1And I think that's going to work. If you can't eat more with what you're running, I would kick the Retta to the curb because you seem like a very disciplined person and you might not need it. Believe it or not, we don't say that often, but
57:27Speaker 2there you go. All right. Hey guys, so I appreciate everything you do. I had a bad reaction and wanted your thoughts. Okay. So a few days ago, I had a bad reaction to CJC IpA combo dosed at 2 50 mg each micrograms
57:40Speaker 2each. I got very flush and vomited. I had been taking it for a few weeks with no issues before that. So I decided to stop and switch to Tessa IpA.
58:01Speaker 2Every injection site I have ever used got red and swollen. My whole body was itchy and lips and tongue even swelled up. I took Benadryl and it calmed down after an hour or so. It was scary to say the least, no doubt. I had since stopped all of those, but has me wondering if it was the GHK-
58:18Speaker 2was it possibly the Ipamorelin that caused it? And I've taken Tessa Ipamorelin before and had been on Glow for a month, thank you. So my
58:50Speaker 21. Now I know you could take the glow blends, but like don't take them all together again because you don't know what's causing it.
58:57Speaker 2This is normal. Literally have 1 of my good friends told me this the other day that they had all
59:23Speaker 2I understand, I probably would, to be honest, like even was me, I would do it. I would be like, alright, let's just see what happens. I'd give myself super low dose and have the Benadryl
59:34Speaker 2that shit's scary and dude, and it's probably just not getting nothing but worse. So be careful.
59:42Speaker 2On anything. I would also, if you ever want to keep trying to like inject super duper slow and inject into fat. So if you happen to be a person who's really, really lean
59:57Speaker 2instead of just in that perfect water sub Q layer, really getting the fat and inject like ultra slow.
1:00:18Speaker 1different. My wife has that same problem, dude. Like, she'll inject and like everywhere that she's injected is red and inflamed. It's crazy. It's the weirdest thing.
1:00:31Speaker 1But you know, how I would handle this is yes, I probably would still try it. I would take everything out maybe a week, maybe 2, let it settle. And then
1:00:46Speaker 1And that's how I would do it. And 1 compound at a time is the most important because you just need to find what is the culprit and
1:00:54Speaker 1that might just take time. You're just that type of person that might be sensitive to stuff, man, unfortunately, but play your cards right, man. You'll be able you'll get through it. So hope that helps, man. By taking us home? Yes. Taking us home. All right. Last 1.
1:01:16Speaker 1feet to constantly be cold. My dermatologist wants to put me on autoimmune med and I'm not interested, so I wanted to see what peptides could be the best to help me. I did just start CLO today, but wasn't sure if I should add anything else. Thanks guys.
1:01:45Speaker 1I mean, it's too much. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I would imagine that's what it was. I would recommend Stiktocin against it. It was autoimmune, it's your gut
1:01:54Speaker 1those just mess up your gut. So good job on you not taking that. Yes, there's other things around KPV, TA-1,
1:02:12Speaker 1and lastly, the BPC and the KPV orals. I think you'll do good with that way better than an antibiotic.
1:02:40Speaker 2Good luck with that. Yep. Lifestyle changes, I'm sure that you have read all of those that that
1:02:59Speaker 1yeah, I'll ask around. We're gonna have Doctor. Scobb back on here sooner or later, which is like, he's a gut guy. Like, he just studies the gut. He deals with people all day and he's just like, man, people's guts are just torn back. He even did my wife's blood and stool tests. He was like, wow, I wasn't expecting your tiny little bride
1:03:22Speaker 1remember when I 1st had my autoimmune, I've told the story, but it's crazy how doctors work where
1:03:28Speaker 1every 1 of them was like, well, you know, it's, there's no cure for it, but here's some antibiotics. And I'm just like, dude, why would I take that? It's not gonna cure me. Like, why would I just take antibiotics? Like, I'm out of here.
1:03:45Speaker 2Like, we did an MRI and we did a ultrasound and like, we don't see a hernia, but like, let's just do surgery anyway because it So might be in I was like, well, okay, because this shit hurts. But we did the surgery and I woke up and like, wow, we didn't see a hernia,
1:04:12Speaker 2that I guess I guess it'll be harder for someone to stab me in the lower abdomen with a knife now because I have this metal mesh.
1:04:19Speaker 2It's like patching a wall. If anybody knows to patch a sheetrock wall, Like behind the wall, gotta be whole. You put this mesh on the backside of it
1:04:27Speaker 2or on the front, excuse me, on the front side and then mud over, that's literally like what they're doing. For
1:04:37Speaker 1we are having, we are having Trevor is, I think his name is Cruder. He's the owner of
1:04:44Speaker 1Alpha Biomed. He's having a, he's coming on the show. We're going to record on Thursday. It will drop on Monday and he's kinda,
1:04:51Speaker 2for lack of a better way to say it, almost like the godfather of research peptides. Would you say that he started at 10 years ago? Yeah. That's, I mean, thing's for sure. Like he's been doing this a long time, long time, long, long, as far as peptide space has not been around a long time, but before you have ever heard about peptides, damn sure. Right? Before we ever heard of it, he was already ingrained and
1:05:14Speaker 1excited to figure out how he had that foresight. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. And now he's into other things.
1:05:22Speaker 2of peptides in The United States. Yeah, so it should be fun. We are going to interview him and then, so, and to,
1:05:29Speaker 2you know, we, if you have some guests that you might think are a good idea, they will be vetted and they have to kind of align with what we do and we don't have, they don't necessarily have to believe in what we believe. We don't have a problem bringing other people on, but they just got to be respectful. There's some doctors have been in my comments and like, you get out of here. They're just pompous. And we're looking to have cool conversations
1:05:59Speaker 1put in water and she's brilliant. She, man, she was just going off and all that water stuff or whatever. She goes, that's cool. And that stuff's awesome. We have, we put it in here for a reason. So we'll have people like that. So any ideas for cool guests,
1:06:19Speaker 2see if it works. And you will be talking Brandy. Brandy is the 1 who we just interviewed The
1:06:23Speaker 2that is the producer. She's the 1 that Jill talked to so we can give everybody some information.
1:06:28Speaker 2But yeah, the goal is here on this, I guess on this show is we want to do this at peptides,
1:06:38Speaker 2kind of like light, all of those, but the hacks, right? Any way that we can all just be better to look better, feel better, work better, play better, anything we could do in any ways to do that, that's what we're interested in is bringing all of that to the people.
1:06:59Speaker 1because he knows I'm big on fasting and there's been people that have lost their minds when he and I were talking about how fasting can cure cancer. Like this is crazy how people are passionate about that being no. But anyways, he now has written a book about like literally curing cancer and like he sent it to me. I'll be reading it on my vacation. Yeah. I reached out to that doctor. I can't remember his name. Wish I knew, but man, his stuff is brilliant. Yeah. So I'm going to read his book. I reached out to him and asked him on the podcast. I don't know if we'll get through. He seems like a pretty big wig, but we're trying. That would be cool.
