0:31Speaker 1This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doomscrolling?

1:09Speaker 1I am your host JD Denham back in the studio feeling like myself across the way, Mr. William T. Hawk. What's up man? I'm here. Busy. I'm busy. I'm this is an overwhelming week for me. Was thinking about that last night. I got a busy freaking
1:37Speaker 1A 100% overwhelmed at all times. Yes, for sure. We have a few cool stuff coming out. We looked at the website yesterday, our new website and that's dope. That's awesome. Bulls put a freaking lot of work into this.
2:04Speaker 1It looks good, dude. That's the funny thing about Will and I, which you haven't figured out for you longtime listeners, you maybe have how different we are in regards to our personalities. Will will look
2:15Speaker 1at a label and he'll design it. He'll like spend hours like getting it exact and I'd be like, looks fine to me.
2:25Speaker 1in Cabo, our producer who we love so much and she always brings us tea and coffee, we love the hell out of her. She's awesome. There's Brandy behind the screen right there.
2:39Speaker 1did me up and got some new stuff in the back. She wanted to change it up. It looks amazing.
2:46Speaker 2Will's like, what about me? Yeah. Now I'm jealous. It looks so good. Yeah. What the hell? And
2:51Speaker 1it's, that's why I love you, man. That's why I love you, but we got good stuff coming, man. We were just talking before we started filming about
3:03Speaker 1we 1st sat down, do you remember? We had thought what if that started happening if we'd like fly out to China or Thailand or something, you know, because a couple of people we had talked to Mhmm. Did that. We were like, was freaking cool. Absolutely. It's pretty dope. Always thought that that, but now that there's no need to go to China because
3:25Speaker 2Times are changing. Times are changing, and and we'd hopefully are kind of leading the pack doing that because,
3:32Speaker 2I mean, a, like, well, business is business, but still if given a choice and a little bit less
4:14Speaker 2we have a friend who's crazy with fireworks. So they spent like $10 on fireworks. Good. It was What normally would have taken 6, I mean, it would take 6 hours to light off fireworks individually, but we have a friend who
4:27Speaker 2I think his next career move should be get out of the ironworkers union and, like, start apprenticing at these, like, real shows Yeah. At rigging the fireworks. So, like, this time you saw him, but he had
4:44Speaker 2different different like cakes of mortars and different mortars, but he bought all the wicks, all the wick wick connectors,
4:57Speaker 2light it once, and they'd all and everything worked perfectly. It was insane. And it was about, I don't know, 15 minutes per board. Yeah. But they got done with all those fireworks in like an hour and 0.5. Yeah, it was a lot. Scared the living shit out of my 2 year old. Like
5:12Speaker 1I got some pictures of him because we had his little headphones on and like whenever those sockets popped, he'd go, Hey, run away. And I was like, he's such a little lover boy, you know? And I'd go in there and he was scared, but like, we're always so intrigued by what we're scared by. Like, I'm scared to death of sharks, but like, I'd always want shark week and he'd be looking out the window just wishing
5:47Speaker 2every time as it spinning. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Dude, like a 100 shots. Dedication right there.
6:00Speaker 2lighting and stuff, but did his kid, like our friend is just like kind of a board just fixes. He can fix everything.
6:07Speaker 2And his kid too, his kid's 2 years younger than river and river can't figure out how to pull the, make the little, little party poppers, just pull a string. Yeah.
6:21Speaker 2He's like, he's like, here, give it to me. See, you wrap your you wrap your 0.25 around these 2 fingers, right? Grip it right there and pull and whoever could not figure that out. But like the kid He's a little badass. Yeah, he's a badass. He'll fix everything. Was he close?
6:41Speaker 1lack of from my father because my father didn't fix anything. So he obviously didn't teach me to fix anything. That's just the way it was. But some men just know how to fix everything. You're very
6:52Speaker 1handy. Yeah. So I can fix most everything. You were not here on Saturday and they were doing the wall. And like, I was like,
6:59Speaker 1what are you guys gonna do with it? You know, I was a manpower. I hope to move it, but I'm like, I don't even know what came in handy and they said that there was no chance in hell they were moving this Yeah. Thing without
7:08Speaker 1Yeah. Like they thought I was gonna leave them. No, dude. I'll help you do what I can do.
7:27Speaker 2was fun. Rivers met up with a bunch of his little baseball friends. And so we just kind of rode the bikes and golf carts around during the day and then went over to her
7:49Speaker 2everybody there at this house was just done. And that's how it's been every year. Like 30 people in there. Everybody is just not really standing around, but working hard to clean up everything. Friends are all sober. Them? Yes. It is, probably. Yeah. It is a 100%.
8:02Speaker 2We're all sober. We have some more energy at the end of the night, aren't just, like, drunk and saying, eff up. We're gone. I was in the gym on the 5th with, you know, a bunch of dudes and we were all sober. I'm like,
8:25Speaker 1guy that people like, so it's going to be an honor to sit with him and ask him questions. Know, we all kind of know who each other is out there. As
8:33Speaker 1this channel grows and this and that, it's cool to sit down with just people of like mind, you know, we all
8:40Speaker 1don't know it all, and we all can learn from each other, as I'm sure we all do. So it's just so fun to sit down with people. Mean, I'm sure everybody enjoyed the podcast with Trevor. That guy was brilliant.
8:50Speaker 1But man, it's so rad to just talk to people. I enjoy it, man. I just enjoy it. So he's gonna be cool. I think all this stuff is gonna be done. Think the more that I've
8:58Speaker 2read up a little bit more on him, right, the more he's done, he's also doing a whole bunch of things and has done a whole Absolutely. Bunch of
9:31Speaker 1Everyday 2 podcast, kind of similar to Trevor. I'm going do mine 1st, which is going to focus on the business side and just what he does. And then we're going to get him obviously on the Peptide podcast and just really dig into
9:42Speaker 1all the stuff we talk about here. So we're going to hopefully give you 2 viewpoints of who the man is. I
9:48Speaker 1enjoy it. I think it's cool. Then lastly, we have Mr. Jay Campbell flying into town in August who hit us up and he's going be in town. So he's like, I want come on live.
10:12Speaker 1Other than that, we're leaving in 2 weeks, but let's get us kicked off, dude. Do us the honors. Going to Q and A. So question 1, I have a
10:50Speaker 2We then seen a naturopath that has helped, but I've spent about $3,000 on vitamin C drips and zinc supplements. He is suffering boils.
11:00Speaker 2Mostly he does improve for a bit after an infusion, but they come back and they spread.
11:13Speaker 2I just can see him suffering. I just can't see him suffering like this. Love your show so much. Thank you for your podcast guys. Awesome. That's right. I'm gonna take that. Yeah, go ahead. It's I mean, I think that that
11:32Speaker 1it sounds like an immune issue, so you can't go wrong with what you just said, right? What
11:46Speaker 1personally, if it was my boy, I would stop the antibiotics. They are just destroying his gut.
11:55Speaker 1So that's personally what I would do. You do you, you're the dad, so you make that decision yourself.
12:20Speaker 1I'm thinking you haven't done that. Maybe that's why you don't kind of know what the issue is, but I
12:27Speaker 1think you stopped antibiotics, man. I think it's probably throwing fuel on that fire. I've had gut problems for a long time and I wish to God I didn't have, didn't eat those antibiotics like I did. I think that was I think that was the culprit.
12:43Speaker 2I think that there are times where you need to kind of maybe actually go see like an disease doctor,
12:52Speaker 2get like fecal workup. I don't know. Maybe you've already done this and you're past that point. But,
12:59Speaker 2I mean, we're not doctors. Think that you can't 1st of all, on those things like KPV, Thymosin Alpha, BPC, hell, try them. Yeah. And you're gonna like be bad. Got nothing. You really don't have anything to lose. They like can't be bad if they miraculously heal them. That's amazing. Good.
13:17Speaker 2you know, again, we don't really know enough, plus we're not doctors, but we don't really know enough in this picture to give you a
13:32Speaker 2hurt, but like I would probably go see an actual, and I agree with the antibiotics, it's probably not the right thing to do, but I'd go see an infectious disease doctor.
13:42Speaker 2And I'd read up a little bit on this and like some of these things point to staph or MRSA. That
13:51Speaker 1Usually if it's left untreated though, that stuff gets bad, real bad. And it's been a year and 0.5. I got staff from, I got MRSA- Yeah. In the hospital. No, wasn't MRSA the bad 1? MRSA is the worst. Okay, so I got staff and it wasn't like, got MRSA, but I had back surgery. I was in the hospital for a few days and I got it from the dang hospital.
14:16Speaker 1honestly think some of the problems I've had with my gut are all the way back to that. I had a, I have a PICC line in my arm for a,
14:24Speaker 1was it a month? It was a long time and they would just inject me for like an hour every day to get rid of this stuff. So that stuff's pretty gnarly, man. So, yeah, it sounds to me like you need to dig a little deeper.
14:38Speaker 1And it sounds like the peptides, which we love, but it might be a little bit above that pay grade of a peptide. You might need to really dig in to see what the hell it is. Yeah. Cause you gotta know what it is to attack it. You know, obviously it's in the gut, but there's all kinds of stuff that can be going on in that gut. It sounds like there's a naturopath with vitamin C like cool that that seems to be kind of fixing symptoms,
14:59Speaker 2but not actually fixing the root problem. As soon as you do, you do that, the treatment, it gets a little bit better. And then as soon as you stop whack, we're back to bat. So all that's doing is helping some of the symptoms and not actually looking for the root cause. So good luck though. That's terrible, poor kid. Keep us posted. We wanna see what he is. Yeah. Alright.
15:16Speaker 1New listener, love the content. 45 year old male, five'nine, 300 pounds. I just started Retta a week and 0.5 ago. Obviously, I'm overweight and I just started working out again. Good for you.
15:37Speaker 1with that, so I haven't been able to train consistently over or very hard. My testosterone is low. PCP says not to start TRT because weight loss may correct it. I'm going to a urologist to get my levels up, hopefully. Are there any peptides that you recommend for me additionally,
15:57Speaker 1testing that you are additional testing that you would recommend? Thanks for all you do.
16:17Speaker 2the more overweight you are, right, the more estrogen your body makes and the less testosterone it makes. Right? It is basically,
16:35Speaker 2I was wondering what you're gonna say on this 1. Dude, I don't know. I would I would opt for the testosterone, obviously. Like, I'd because I do it. So obviously that's what I would do. It will make, I mean,
16:46Speaker 2it'll fix the testosterone thing. You'll lose weight. Faster. I mean, way faster. It will help immediately
16:56Speaker 2just because you start testosterone does not mean you are like, Oh, I got to do it for the rest of my life no matter what. In fact, like, look at me, like I've been off tests. I guess I'm taking, I'm literally taking
17:12Speaker 2But I weaned down and I have been taking it for shoot, 8 years maybe before that. And so,
17:19Speaker 2and I'm still alive walking around talking and you just weaned down correctly. Like, dude, you could
17:25Speaker 2do some tests, get your weight down. If you really, really, really want to get back, get off of it, you can do that. Sure.
17:34Speaker 2is a peptide that will, that will actually help try to increase your actual natural testosterone levels.
17:47Speaker 2although Trevor thinks differently. Did you notice that last time when we talked to Trevor anyway,
17:56Speaker 2blood test panel, we can send you that. Like I have it all written down instead of reading off
18:05Speaker 2we can just, we can send you what we suggest all the panels that your doctor should be checking off.
18:15Speaker 2I bet he did not. I know tons of doctors that will just be like, Oh, okay, let's test your, let's test your total testosterone.
18:25Speaker 1I mean, it's going to be a matter of an opinion. I'm just going to be blunt as always.
18:34Speaker 1losing weight is a bitch. It's a bitch. It's not saying it can't be done, but like, dude, it's like you're swimming against a river. Like you'll make a little headway if you just kick ass, but man, you're gonna be tired. If you just take a little bit of testosterone, man, your whole life will change. You'll
18:50Speaker 1drop weight faster, your sex drive will go up, your sleep will be better, your focus will be better, you'll be happier. I could go on and on and on and on and on. So just in regards to that, why the hell would you not want to? Yeah, you might bring it up as you lose weight.
19:07Speaker 1or just like, let's just get it done. Like, don't you want to feel great? Don't you want to feel good?
19:13Speaker 1And then the obvious, you're gonna, you need to like make sure that you're lifting weights
19:17Speaker 1at least 4 days a week. You need to make sure eating right, eat a shitload of protein, a lot of protein, a protein, a lot of protein, get your sleep. Those are the obvious. We're going to talk about those probably today. As always,
19:37Speaker 1either way, I would say take some HGH, at least throw some 2 I use of HGH in there. And for like energy,
20:08Speaker 1Just get after it. You feel so good. 3 weeks, you'll feel great. Yeah. All right. Next, number 3.
20:40Speaker 2a mom of 3 kids and a wife. My goal are more energy, stronger workouts, lose belly fat, sleep better, manage my focus ADHD,
20:49Speaker 2because I don't like how it makes me feel. I eat clean with very little added sugar. I drink a minimum of a 120 to a 140.
21:06Speaker 0And this space starts with Ultra Fit. Unlike traditional running shoes, Ultra Fit gives toes more room to move naturally,
21:28Speaker 1This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doomscrolling?
21:32Speaker 1Smart move. Another smart move? Getting help from 1 of State Farm's 19,000 local agents when you choose to bundle home and auto.

21:53Speaker 2Ounces of water daily, and I eat at least 140 grams of protein per day. I'm currently running SS-31MOTS-5Mina
22:02Speaker 21 MQ AOD in the AM and PM. I'm on Thymosin Alpha, just started. CJC Ipamorelin, Clo will
22:14Speaker 2I know I need to cycle off of some of what I'm on for energy, but what can I replace it with?
22:28Speaker 11st, I'm going to attack the Adderall thing. It just wouldn't be me if I didn't. I'm just not a fan of it. I'm sure you all know it now. I'm sober.
22:39Speaker 1how we think we need that substance until you actually get off that substance and you realize I didn't need that substance.
22:46Speaker 1you're probably at right now, but you don't need the Adderall. Adderall is like almost identical to speed. If you like, look at it, you know, you probably know that. So I'm gonna say get off that and you might even need help getting off of it, like meetings and such,
23:06Speaker 1It's not going to be Adderall, but it will give you some of that focus. You know, I'm not an Adderall guy, but modafinil is great. So you can kind of have some of that and
23:16Speaker 1kind of, I'm sounds to me, I don't know what you do if you're a doctor or nurse or whatnot, but you're in an ER, so it's a stressful as hell.
23:26Speaker 1It sounds to me like you haven't had your hormones checked because I think you would have talked about that. So you could have low testosterone, your hormones could be out of whack. You could need some progesterone. I don't know. You got to have your run your panel.
23:39Speaker 1And I'm telling you, I think that your problem might be just getting those hormones fixed because when you start there, you're going to feel a lot better because you're 38 and like we start
23:50Speaker 1thinking that we're supposed to feel like shit at 38 because we're aging, but we're not, you know, until we fix our hormones and Will and I are like broken records,
23:59Speaker 1but we talk mainly to men because we're men, but women, you're the same thing. You need to get your hormones and thank God
24:14Speaker 1you will feel like a different gal. You know, like you have a stressful job, so that part's going be what it's going to be.
24:21Speaker 1Obviously, you got to work on your sleep and I don't know how to tell you to fix that, but that's highly important and just improve your recovery, but get those hormones checked.
24:40Speaker 1helping other people get the focus off of, you know, like the stuff you're focusing on. That's just helped me. So I got to talk to you about that in regards to peptides,
24:49Speaker 1Epitalon, I would start with Epitalon. It's going reset your circadian rhythm. It's going to be really good for oxidated stress. So I would start with that. And then I think the obvious is going be Selank
25:07Speaker 1I'm assuming by what you're taking, you're trying to lose weight. You're taking 5Amino-1MQ
25:17Speaker 1I'm assuming the 5Amino and the AOD you're trying to lose weight or rip up that stomach.
25:25Speaker 1You know, you can replace those 2 and go right to Reta and that will do a lot for you. So maybe do that. So those
25:33Speaker 1and some other stuff that I think will work well for you, the meditation and stuff. I know it sounds a little woo woo, but until you do it, it's amazing. You know, I never thought I'd meditate, but I do it every day. So works well for me. What do you got, Will?
25:59Speaker 2I feel like she's probably going, dude, off. I help people. That's all I do. Yeah. That's her job. I'm saying like,
26:25Speaker 2I don't know. You know, with the celiac, I don't know if, you know, your absorption of orals might actually
26:37Speaker 2and your other gut issues, but I still would try, I still would go with KPV BPC. For energy, Selank, Cmax,
26:50Speaker 2almost like as the detox from the Adderall, probably Modafinil is probably a good choice. Yeah. Replace that, the, the Adderall
27:06Speaker 2Selank, Semax, even to B12. Sure. You pro I don't know. My guess is as a, as a nurse, you
27:12Speaker 2probably are doing that or have had access, but don't forget that, that actually really helps. So
27:30Speaker 1if that, if it comes off like that, you are a nurse or a doctor, you are helping people, but like, I want to be like, what I mean by that is when I have to sponsor somebody,
27:38Speaker 1I don't want to sit with them for an hour and read the book. I'm busy. And then when I do it because I'm not getting paid, I do it just to help somebody. That's what I mean. Yep. Yep. So- Just- And that's good. It really
27:49Speaker 2centers you like you would never believe. That's good. I'm just telling you what people,
28:01Speaker 1yeah. That's what I mean. Good luck. Hope that's true. All right. Hey, JD, Will, I've been listening for about 3 months now and I really enjoy the show. I'm a 39 year old male who's down 50 pounds over the last 7 months. Nice. And currently sitting at 195. My current protocol
28:44Speaker 1I'm not sure if it's the Retatrutide, but my libido has also taken a hit over the last few months. That led me to PT-one hundred 41 a couple of times. It seemed to help, but I experienced a pretty rough hangover type feeling the same day and into the next. Any tips or suggestions?
29:01Speaker 2Yeah, true. You know, you might just not be eating enough food. So as far as the workout,
29:09Speaker 2oftentimes when people are taking Retta and losing a bunch of pounds, losing a bunch of weight, right? You have to be at a caloric deficit to lose 50 pounds. You know what I'm saying? And so like food is our energy and no wonder that
29:26Speaker 2yeah, you're probably low on a little bit low on energy. Right? I don't know what to say other than, I mean, I would actually try taking some IGF-one before your workout and a little bit of carbs right before it. That can absolutely help. Take those carbs and shove them in your muscles, which is where you want that energy.
30:13Speaker 2rebound your actual, like, sex drive. The sex drive, I have to think just it's either stress induced, right,
30:29Speaker 2As far as that though, I would just really dial in your eating habits and make sure you're getting like high energy foods.
30:37Speaker 2Yeah. That's about all. I mean, lift weights. Mean, you're already, that sounds like you're lifting weights, right?
30:43Speaker 1I don't know. What else you got? Yeah. I mean, diet's key if we eat like crap because Retrutide can allow us to get lazy on diet because you can cheat a little bit and still lose weight, you know?
30:57Speaker 1That's how it was for me. You know, don't need to lose weight, but when I started taking Retta, I like got my discipline, it shook my discipline up because I can get away with a lot more and I didn't like it. So that's kind of how it happened for me. So diet, as you said, eat a lot of protein, typical stuff.
31:20Speaker 1it's going to do a lot better for you. I'm assuming that's why he's taking Kisspeptin. I know. I don't really understand why you're taking them both, but you still need to, as Will said, like rapid
31:38Speaker 1You want to make sure that you're getting the proper things tested and look at the proper hormones,
31:49Speaker 1every 90 days for a while, because it takes a while, as we say, to find a sweet spot and that might, you feel better, but you might feel better if you take more testosterone and you do need to know what that free testosterone level is. That's very important because if your total test is where it should be, but your free test is low, then you're going to have no energy and no sex drive. So I'm assuming
32:12Speaker 1if you looked at your free test, it would be low. That's probably sex drive. So all those things play a role. I would stop the Kisspeptin. I would definitely add in the HCG,
32:22Speaker 1especially if you're trying to stay fertile. That will help your balls from shrinking too, which you should do.
32:42Speaker 1And get your numbers ran every 90 days and you need to know your free tea, brother. So let us know if you have you get that back and it's off, shoot us a DM or get in contact with us or ask another question and we'll go from there. Hope that helps. Yeah, as far as we know, right, the Kisspeptin, so Kisspeptin
33:21Speaker 2early upstream loop is shut down and not listening to anything. Right? If you, because you have, your body has enough testosterone
33:36Speaker 2HCG works because it works way downstream. It skips this part and it just goes straight to the source and tells it to go make more.
33:50Speaker 2goes straight to the source and does both both the luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating
34:05Speaker 2No age. No age. Give me fertility. Alright, go for it, bud. Hey, guys. Loves the podcast. My question is regarding MOTS Every time I use MOTS C, I get a large itchy lump within 12 hours,
34:19Speaker 2I move injection sites, let the peptide warm to room temp and inject slow. Nothing seems to help, so I gave up on that peptide. What might cause this type of reaction to MOTS-c?
35:01Speaker 1just allergic to it. Sounds like it. Yeah. It's kind of those things that sucks. Yeah. I can't take CJC.
35:07Speaker 1Yeah. It's a good, like, couple days, got a histamine response. I'll never take it again. So it's just 1 of those things you just
35:13Speaker 2There's a other ones take NAD and SS-31. Yeah. I hope. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like you've tried everything that you're supposed do, right? Which is like try different, you know, different concentrations,
35:25Speaker 2to rule out, you know, maybe just 1 time flukes. But if this is just consistent, you probably just can't do MOTS-3C.
35:32Speaker 2Cool thing is there's a ton of peptides. Ton of other things to do. There's a lot of other things. Lots of other things to do.
35:58Speaker 1Is this the proper stack? And if so, how much will it help in order to calm down her visits to the restroom?
36:15Speaker 1I know that is on the high side, but I feel great. Can or will this affect my PSA levels? And is there any concern there? I have recently dropped my dosage down to 10 units, 3 times a week, 100 mg. Thank
36:55Speaker 2can't hurt. Yeah. It, I don't know how much it's actually going to help this specific,
37:00Speaker 2this problem, but it, but it sure can't hurt. So yeah, dude, I think that that's the right way to go. You know, how much will it help?
37:07Speaker 2That's not, I don't know. I don't think that biking, we can really quantify that. It's different in every person
37:23Speaker 2you know, you might be even higher than 1,500. You'll hear a lot of people that have their blood tests. Oh, I tested off 1,500 for on a lot of tests. That's the max
37:38Speaker 2an ordinary amount of people have 1,500 levels because that's just the max on a lot of these tests. But
37:44Speaker 2if you feel great, awesome. Yes. They're I can't tell you, like, will it affect my PSA levels? Yes.
37:53Speaker 2the more testosterone that we do and the more testosterone that we have in our body, the more DHT
38:16Speaker 2which, and your DHT. Okay. The estrogen symptoms, if you're getting any of those nipple sensitivity, any extra acne, water, water,
38:31Speaker 2potentially taking estrogen blocker, especially if you're this high, you might actually have to see if you're, know, predisposed
38:39Speaker 2You will feel if the prostate's swollen, you know, it's like, you'll have to pee frequently. You'll you'll think you have to pee really bad and then not much comes out.
39:04Speaker 2And I don't know if you but if you feel good, I guess the other thing is like, I don't know if you if you wanna have more kids, you don't really want your testosterone to be that high. 55. 55. You don't really want to have any more kids, then that's okay. As long as it's not causing any other health issues. So monitor that.
39:33Speaker 2So you could probably find some, I don't know where you I don't know what caused the 1,500,
39:39Speaker 1but you might find an equal balance. He didn't say. I wish you would have told us how much you took. Yeah.
39:51Speaker 1If it's 3 weeks and just, you know, I would give it a little bit of time. I mean, generally,
39:58Speaker 1Will and I have talked about it so much in regards to finding that sweet spot. It's not, it's going to take some time, you know? But the good thing is you feel good. That's awesome.
40:07Speaker 1What are your free tests, you know, testosterone? What's that? That's going to help us kind of answer this as well.
40:19Speaker 1month or so, maybe 2, you're going to have to move that sucker around and it's not a 1 size shoe fits all. You need to figure out where you feel the best. Your numbers are good, where they're not going to be harmful.
40:34Speaker 1That's the sweet spot. So that takes some time and you're not going to figure it out in 3 weeks. So
40:51Speaker 2I've been on a couple since about March, so not too long, but I'm going to talk to my psychiatrist
40:57Speaker 2about getting off. I've been feeling pretty good. I was wondering if there was a peptide or a stack that would help with anxiety and depression.
41:07Speaker 2Selank is probably the go to for the anxiety portion that help. It's more of a natural, I guess, and angiolytic, which helps
41:30Speaker 2And they don't just cancel each other out, right? You get more of kind of focus, non anxiety,
42:24Speaker 1This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doomscrolling?
42:29Speaker 1Smart move. Another smart move? Getting help from 1 of State Farm's 19,000 local agents when you choose to bundle home and auto. Bundling,
42:37Speaker 1just another way to save with the personal price plan. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability,
43:19Speaker 1What else did you? I mean, that was pretty good. I mean, that's pretty much what I would say too. The
43:38Speaker 1I probably would probably go with that 1st. That should balance you out, give you some energy,
43:47Speaker 1to be redundant for a reason, eat right and exercise. You need to get moving and like, let's not forget about the base
44:03Speaker 1But yeah, hopefully get off that, keep us updated, man, and I hope that it goes well for you. I'm sure, you know, you can't abruptly stop. And meditation and help people for sure.
44:17Speaker 1Hi guys, love the show. I'm 30 year old recently found out my testosterone levels are quite low. My blood work showed total testosterone 2 35, free 9.6.
44:30Speaker 1recently started TRT. Was wondering if there are any peptides or other compounds you would recommend that could help me get the most out of my TRT protocol.
44:42Speaker 1A lot of testosterone available in Australia seems to be seed oils as the carrier of access to a supplier that uses MCT oil for their testosterone cyponate,
44:54Speaker 1cheaper. What are your thoughts on using a product like that instead? Are there any advantages or disadvantages
45:01Speaker 1of MCT versus the more common seed oil based carriers when it comes to TOT? Great question. Surprise doesn't come up anymore. Yeah.
45:50Speaker 2it's because and then it will that means it's gonna disperse in your muscles a lot better than just this thick oil.
46:00Speaker 2but I don't think I feel like I think I've read up on this and like there's more potential for allergies to the seed oil than MCT for sure. Sure.
46:09Speaker 2I would say that 9 times out of 10 people who know will definitely say, give me the MCT oil for sure. It depends on, you know, and again, and it should be way more expensive.
46:32Speaker 2It's odd that the MCT is cheaper. Could be a function of the grape seed person is just charging too much. I don't know.
46:41Speaker 2yeah, I don't know. But I would do, I mean, I'd go with definitely the MCT oil. Ask them if they know what type of MCT oil
46:54Speaker 1did, I did actually a video on that. We talked about different esters. We talked about different oils. We talked about injecting.
47:02Speaker 1There's people that get PIP, which is PIP, which is post injection pain. If you've injected testosterone long enough, you will get it. It sucks. It's that big lump in your butt or your shoulder wherever you inject it. And it's
47:24Speaker 1again, if you do it long enough, you will get it. And it's just 1 of those things that takes a few days to kind of rub out. There's ways around it, is heating up the oil. I do that every time now. Just heat the oil in some hot water for about a minute and it's easier to disperse when you inject it and also
47:49Speaker 1and it kind of disperse, not just blast it. So those are a little, some tricks of the trade when it comes to that stuff.
47:56Speaker 1What I have found personally is that our bodies change so much because for the longest time I could not inject
48:09Speaker 1Now I can take it. I'm actually, that's what I take now, but I couldn't for a long time.
48:16Speaker 1started like, I'm saying get allergic to the MCT, but I started getting PIP every time I injected and
48:22Speaker 1after figuring it out and even calling a doctor that I know knows what he was talking about, he just said, Yeah, we see that some people with MCT eventually
48:42Speaker 1but also focus in on injecting properly because that helps as well. In regards to the enhancement
48:53Speaker 1Here, Provirin is not, it's not a peptide, it is actually a steroid, but it's a low grade steroid that
49:04Speaker 1So that will actually increase your sex drive. It'll release more of your free testosterone,
49:14Speaker 1So if that's something that you want to toy around with, it's again, it is a steroid, but it's a really low grade steroid. So,
49:21Speaker 1it will enhance that. Some other ideas would be obviously like a Tessa Ipah. It'll like give you some growth hormone. Your body will generate that itself.
49:42Speaker 1it will give you some size and it will enhance that TRT. So you will get a little bit of buffer because you will be hungry and you will eat more. So those are some ideas,
49:58Speaker 2Yeah, everything you said, dude, Proviron's really great 1, like late in the cycle when your
50:24Speaker 2Okay. Question 9. I did a 6.5 day fast earlier this year and benefited greatly from it. Lost 14 pounds and I felt absolutely great on ketones.
50:47Speaker 21, should I fast on Retta? 2, should I be concerned about muscle loss if I do? Much appreciated for y'all. You guys are awesome. I don't know. I mean, JD, you're the fasting,
51:05Speaker 2Yeah. Because you're taking Retta, it's pushing tons of insulin in you and their insulin
51:15Speaker 1Well, I mean, I get that for, I've got it forever. Like you're going to lose all your muscle, like, cause I fast a lot, you know? And I do like you, I do a 72 at least every 0.25 and I do multiple 24 hour fast a week. I had stepped away from that for a little bit and I was unhappy. I gotten back to it. I love it. I love fasting. I love the discipline about it. Sounds like you do too. I love how I feel and that's important for all of us, right? It's not all about what we look like.
51:46Speaker 1I will tell you when I'm eating carbs and eating more, I do get bigger. Obviously, that's just the obvious, but I
51:55Speaker 1muscle when I do that stuff. As long as I'm lifting because people will go, do you train when you're fasting? Absolutely, man. 100%. You should be training when you're fasting in my opinion. So
52:06Speaker 1I mean, it kind of depends on your objectives. If you want to be those 1 of those really big guys, you're going to need to eat more and have carbs.
52:12Speaker 1I don't like to look like that. But to answer your question, no, I don't think that 3 you need to worry about So 1 concern, but is this your 3 day water fast?
52:23Speaker 1That can't be good for you. You die from water? Like, we die after No, he's saying water fast is all water. It's all you drink. Oh, okay.
52:33Speaker 2And it's a lot of salt water. Die if you don't drink water for 3 days, by the Yeah. You die after 40 days of no food. So water's really, really important.
52:48Speaker 1Think it's home. Hey guys, love the podcast. I'm 38 years old, former army special operations vet and current LEO.
52:59Speaker 1pounds in 6 months while lifting and doing cardio 5 times a week. I plateaued on Tirzepatide and recently switched to Retta. I'm also using Tessa,
53:26Speaker 1completed my treatment. My wife and I conceived our 1st child naturally roughly 2 years ago and wanted to try for baby number 2 in January.
54:14Speaker 2be taking it right now. Yeah. So I would and I am doing this. So like this is what so I'm taking I am also trying to make a baby soon. HCG,
54:36Speaker 2but all 3 of those can and should be taken together to be more fertile. Plus, it'll increase your natural testosterone. You'll probably feel a bit better because these are all also the same protocol
54:46Speaker 2essentially that somebody should do as a post cycle after coming off of a steroid cycle. So I'd prioritize those,
55:01Speaker 2Mean, that would be the 1st damn thing I do and it will be 1st thing I do. Then then I wouldn't then I don't know. There's nothing to say like, hey, you gotta start the test 1st and then you can start in the
55:42Speaker 1So that's why I would say I would get on HCG, HMGF and Clomiphene right now. Well, she said she wasn't tempted to get off everything, but he's on Clomiphene, so might as well get on ACG too.
55:52Speaker 1And again, I mean, we've told you this, so you do you, that's obviously what your wife is going to tell you what to do, but, both my kids were conceived on TRT,
56:01Speaker 1and we have had many, many friends that have done that. My deal with my bride was I'm not coming off testosterone because
56:07Speaker 1I was running a mortgage company at the time and there was no way that was gonna happen. And with some studying and looking into it, it can be done. And I followed that protocol and I got 2 boys. So
56:23Speaker 1start with TRT, get that stuff rolling, it's oil so it's going to take a little while to build up. I think you can start them both. You know, peptides are just amino acids, so you're injecting hormones and that's going to take a little while for you to hit the amino
56:36Speaker 1acids are going to be right away. So it's going to take you a little while to feel better, dude, you know?
56:47Speaker 1boy or girl doesn't matter. And then, when you're at that time, if you have more questions, hit us up and we'll give you an exact protocol if you want. And,
57:10Speaker 1Join school. School is doing great. We got a lot of cool stuff going on there. We're adding more and more and more and more all the time. We got a guy that's actually running it full time. That's just, you know, we're just adding to it and adding to it. So, and
57:23Speaker 1if you have some ideas of something you wanna see that we could probably put together, we will. We are trying our best to
57:38Speaker 1like that, it's a nightmare these days. Everybody's getting dinged. I'm dinged left and right for nothing,
57:45Speaker 1fasting posts and stuff like that. It's just becoming silly. So that's why we're pulling people over there so we can talk like normal humans and we don't have to like, I can't even say peptide. I have to say P Tide. And like, I can't even say the Peptide of the Week podcast because
