Saturday Morning Coffee Talk · 4/18/26

0:06 And we're live. Good morning, everyone. If you could, just very briefly, because I see there's some people in the comments, if you can let us know that we sound okay, I'm going to do my best to talk into the microphone today. I've been getting several complaints and I do not take those lightly. So please let me know. We're going do our best not to trail off and do talk directly into a microphone. And I have it set up a little bit closer to my mouth today All right. It looks like everyone's saying, I can't see.

0:38 Just kidding. You got to click on the comments. Make sure they come up. Click on my comments, got it. All right. Well, good Saturday morning. It is Saturday, April 18th. I hope you're doing amazing wherever you are at. Sure. There's going to be a lot to talk about the day and I'm sure there will be lot of questions. Um, and we're going be both live on my YouTube channel, my podcast, YouTube, channel and Taylor's YouTube Channel as well. But I think the biggest thing on everyone's minds right now and, uh, send an email about this and also did a video about it yesterday,

1:14 but it's basically the FDA seems like they were moving in favor of peptides. So that seems to. I think more or less a very good thing to happen. It's kind of funny because in this, whatever the peptide world is, you have, so you had this cohort on one side that were probably the people six years ago that we're very in support of a certain procedure. And those people, call it like sociopolitically or whatever, are very against even peptides being allowed to be prescribed by doctors.

1:48 And so on one hand, you have kind of a media assault and a cultural assault on people or from people that just don't want peptide at all. They say they're dangerous, but would be in support of other typical pharmaceutical things. Then on the far other side of the perspective or spectrum, you have the research peptide world, which says that we want to be able to put whatever we wants into our own body and we don't want the government to tell us what to do, nor do we the want government regulate.

2:18 And I would say the Research World does a pretty doggone good job of regulating themselves of what's out there. I mean, how many people do you see just dropping dead from research peptides? None that I know of. None. And then in the middle ground, now we have RFK coming out and saying that there's going to be these 12 or 19. The number kind of moves around, but there is going be a cohort of the most popular peptides that the FDA is gonna move from category two to category one, which means they're not gonna be FDA approved, But it will be easy for compounding pharmacies to make them, thus easy, for doctors to prescribe them.

2:50 And so we're gonna have, apparently, assuming everything goes through, Which it looks like by all means and measures that will. looks like we're going to have a very easy access medically for at least those major peptides. And so I think for me, I that's a good thing. I what that is going do is usher in a much more broader use of peptide category. So I it's good. Yeah. A lot of people in the research world are worried that keep your hands off of my peptids. Don't really see that going away, especially for the savvy user of knowing how to get them.

3:22 It may become a little bit more difficult. Maybe not, but I don't see that necessarily going away. Really, what I think this is going to do is just open the doors up to more people getting peptides from their doctor. All the people that you've been trying to tell peptide about forever, like all of us who use peptidies, and all the friends and family, the neighbors that we try to talk about, they're now going be able to get easier access to peptids and will still be the crazy people in the research world. So that's my opinion of what's going happen, who really knows? I think also too, I there's still a majority of population that still wants the peptide from their doctor.

3:58 The amount of people, obviously that I talked to and the people that don't work with me that just like old hair clients or friends, they're like, well, trisapatite, and I want to do a GLP. I'm going to trizapatide. And then I tell them about reticulotide, but my doctor can't give me My doctor can give me her's appetite. There's still that big population of people that still want it from their doctor, which I think it's good. How things are moving is how I said, you know, five years ago where I saw peptides going in the future.

4:28 So I. It's a good thing. I thing as a positive thing, because it is going to give more access to peptide to people. I want more people using the peptides. Obviously, we come from the research world by using it. I still think that you should be able to put whatever you want into your body. But I think in the whole big thing, when I of the big picture and what I wanna see is a healthier population of people. And if that means more people are going to be using peptides because they're coming from a doctor.

5:00 I think it's a positive aspect when you look at it whole as spiritually as a human being. Obviously I know it does affect the research chemical world, but I don't think that's going affect it as bad as like what some people say that it is going too. Like obviously they got to the point like where like, you know, criminal charges got prosecuted against the people that own research companies. Like, yeah, that would be a negative for them. But I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I think that's the way medicine's going.

5:31 And at the end of the day, it is about having a healthier population of people. The thing is, too, I thing what's positive aspects for me and you, because we're more educators. Yes, we've worked with research But like our purpose is to educate people. And if you think about it, when you go into your doctor's appointment, whether it's a virtual telehealth medicine appointment or it is an in-person appointment. You're really not spending that much one-on-one time getting educated by your medical provider.

6:03 Why? They don't have the time in their schedule to do that. Like most of the times they're seeing anywhere between 15 some cases, 20 patients a day. Like they don't have the time to sit and lecture you for just 30 minutes about education on what this peptide is going to do. Why is it working? And that's not what their job is. Their job to obviously listen, obviously prescribe, but they're not going to be able to do that. You still need to go and take matters in your own hands and still do the research after you leave your doctor's appointment.

6:39 So I think for us, I don't think it's going change that much for because our purpose is to educate people on peptides in hormone replacement therapy. So I think it's still going to be a positive impact, whereas those people that aren't like might've like us in the sense that they're doing their own research, they are getting from chemical research companies. I that this is going open a door for the majority of people who just want prescribed by their doctor.

7:09 It's gonna open the door up for them to also maybe explore and do more education themselves as well. The research people? No, the non-research people. Oh, you mean just getting into peptides? Yeah, just people that are getting in to peptide. I think it's going to open a door from them. Yeah, you will definitely see more people that previously would have been like, Oh no, I would never touch that with a 10 foot pole. It's like well, maybe, and the thing is that the research research peptides are not going away as of right now.

7:42 There's still going to be some options. I don't have a crystal ball, but I tell you what, go to Las Vegas in the fall to Mr. Olympia. They're still a lot of people using steroids and guess what? Those were made illegal 30 years ago. So yeah, I mean, are they going away? They might go away in the fashion that they are now, but there, there will always be research peptides, just like there's always everything. There's, always, you know, things it just, it's like, what level of gray to black market does it become?

8:13 I don't know. So, but I think the people that are savvy enough to do that on their own now will be savvy. Enough to continue. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Cause I'm not like, you know, well, yeah, I like having control. I liked being able to. What I want to my body myself and to get, ideally you would just be able. To get peptides as supplements. Yep. Don't think that will ever happen because they're injectable. maybe the oral delivery becomes so much better. Injectable is not even a question anymore, but maybe not.

8:43 And it'd be really cool if you just like walk into CVS or Walgreens and just buy it. Like, you know, we've talked about before, like buying insulin. So I'm not super worried about that. I think peptides are here. They're here to stay. It just becomes like, what do we, kind of, What does it look like for, everyone to get them. But I mean, if you look at GLPs, I would be interested to know what, because GLP's have been around, a lot of people get GLPS prescribed.

9:13 What percent of GLps used are via research or via a doctor? And I think you could look at that right now and kind of extrapolate like what will then happen to the peptide world. Because if there is easy to access as GLPs or even easier because they're cheaper, hopefully, then GLP's would be, I would think that would end up resulting, it would a good, good like extrapolation of looking at to see like, okay, where would, Where's this going to go?

9:44 And then like ,what percent of the market is going adopt either way. But one thing we were talking about this morning to change notes briefly, and then I promise we'll get to your questions. Cause I see questions coming in. So please drop them in there. We'll make sure we get everything this. One thing that we're talking is Taylor and I, because we talked to so many people and work with a lot of people in our group. And then just seeing stuff across the internet. I mean, not recently, but it just was one. It was a topic of conversation for us this is why do GLPs stop working for people?

10:17 So we have GLPs. We have this holy grail miracle drug for fat loss to which like almost everyone can take a GLP to a threshold dose and move in the right direction. But what we're starting to see a lot is a lotta people are like, this doesn't work for me anymore. This doesn' work. And we were talking about like, why, how can the GLP work so well for so many people? Yet some people will claim it doesn't work for them or it works right away. And then it does.

10:48 After that. I've got my, I'm got theories about it. Obviously everyone's going to be a little bit different, but tell us what you think, because this was a really good conversation we're having. We said we needed to wait and hold where this conversation goes. There's two main things that I think that what's not being taken in consideration is cellular health.

11:18 and nutrition that I hate. I feel like I'm like always like, I felt like the nutrition is like beating the dead horse. Well, not to interrupt, but let me ask you in terms of making the GLP not work. Is that what's making them not? Work is the Nutrition or the weight loss is not happening because they just use the GOP and then no attention is paid to nutrition on the intrusion subject. I said a couple of things. I think that there are some people that want complete zero thoughts of food.

11:50 If you had the slightest thought of a food or hunger, the GLP is not working. And that's not what they're designed for. You don't want to use it to the point where you don' have any appetite. Like, I thing that where it can be a little dangerous, not dangerous. Shouldn't say that word. negative is that you still need to be able to get your healthy amount of macros in. And I think a lot of people are still very carb phobic and they're eating mostly fats, protein.

12:24 They're not eating any carbohydrates and carbohydrates coming from Grains coming from rice coming, from oatmeal coming. From potatoes like there's still a lot of people that are so scared of those three food groups and you need those food group. Especially. If you're exercising, especially for building muscle. And there is nutrients in those groups, and I think that can also be an issue.

12:54 I You'll see a big, I see, personally saw like a huge change in weight loss and in my body composition when I added those, those foods back in. And I think people that are on GLPs, that's not being taken into consideration or it's like, they're just not like the slight feeling of hunger. It makes them feel like it doesn't work. Well, I think hunger is a good thing and what we were talking about this morning is you wouldn't want to drive your car around without the gas needle to

13:27 show you how much gas you have in the tank. And so I, think what a lot of people want do is use a JLP to completely shut off their hunger signaling, because it's just easier not to have to think about food, which I get, but it also important to understand that hunger, is there for a reason. Like your body is designed to get hungry, to help you know when it's time to eat. And I think people are starving themselves macronutrient wise and micronutrian wise. Then I to the point of it not working, they're just expecting to take something.

13:59 It's kind of like where people want nootropic peptides and they just want Adderall basically. They want something that they can take and it melts fat off and then they don't have to That's not how life works. You need those things to be able to do it. And then a lot of, like you were saying to the point of the carbohydrates where people are so carb phobic, they don't understand they need like a balanced diet, not just to skip carbs and as much as the GLP can push you in one direction and whenever solve all of these issues.

14:29 To your point about cellular health, the reason I think for some people like us that lower doses of GLPs work well is because I'm not saying this to brag about ourselves. I think a lot of people have much better end cellular health than other people. And the GLP won't only get you so far, but if you have really good cellular, you're detoxing regularly, exercising, eating healthy. getting sunlight, you're getting good water, your, doing sauna, uh, red light therapy.

15:02 You're doing all the things that make you have good cellular health. The peptides will then work better. But if you've got poor cellular, the peptide will constantly be a band aid to try to fix an issue that really goes back to all of the foundational things. Yeah. And I think that's why some people, they keep having to up and up, and upped up the dose of a GOP. Whereas like, if they just kind of stayed within a range, I'm not against upping the dosage at all. No. But I am just saying if like they did all of the other things properly, like if you did 45 minutes of cardio every day and you weight trained three or

15:37 four times per week, the peptides will work completely differently than if don't do that. And that's where I think a lot of people, they don't take care of cellular health enough first and peptides could be a part of that. And then they blame the GLP or they're not even blaming the GOP. They're just like, this doesn't work anymore. I don' know what's going on. Either I stalled in my weight loss or I'm like starting to gain weight back. Well, there's a reason for that because your body really is. That's not what your bodies designed to be like. Yeah. Do you think that, so let me ask you this, do you that if somebody who has basically stalled out with their GLP?

16:19 Do you think that maybe it could be beneficial to then say, okay, let's switch the focus. Cause I think this is another thing I don't think people take into consideration is like, where is your focus? Like, are you trying to lose fat? Are you tryna build muscle? You're tryna to build muscles and lose at the same time. Like maybe the focused should be like where are we at with our cellular health then? And do you think that maybe it might be beneficial for someone to then maybe then focus on running a protocol for cellular health and re-evaluate their

16:52 cellular or health? And then reintroduce the GLP back in? Yeah, absolutely. And that could be SS 31, it could KBB. It could some of those things to, to improve, get rid of the inflammation, and get of lingering residual issues. I feel like this is another thing I beat with a dead horse. But I've gotten a lot of hate for saying this. If you are going to continue consuming alcohol while you're on any peptide, you are wasting your time.

17:30 Well, why don't you get off your moral high horse? I'm kidding. Yeah, that's not nice. Um, no, I'll say that. That's what people say back. It's me. But it's like, it is true. Like, and I don' want to sound like I might preachy about this, but alcohol is super toxic. And I, We go to all these conferences. It is crazy to me how much alcohol is actually at some of these. Conferences that we go do some them and well, not really. If you think about it, you just don't, it's not normal.

18:01 That's normal anymore, but this is also, this also coming from someone I used to drink at least four days a week. I used to use cannabis probably like six days a week and that was my lifestyle several years ago and I notice a huge difference in my body composition like when I cut those out. You don't say. Yeah and i just think that like you're adding something to help your body, but then you're gonna add something in, even if you are somebody who just has

18:35 the occasional glass of wine, which I really don't know what that is anymore, because we had very different opinions on what meant. But like even, if are gonna drink a glass wine like once a week, still going to add toxics into your, after one cocktail, it takes your bodies seven days to be able to then burn fat. So think about that when you are on a GLP trying to lose fat and then you do want to have a glass of wine at a event or at dinner.

19:11 Like keep that in mind. when you're trying to make these choices. And it is, I know socially it can be very uncomfortable because people still, it doesn't bother us. It doesn' bother you. You used to bother me in the beginning, but it hasn't bothered me anymore. I'd be like, oh, you don't drink. No, but there's ways you can still go to events. We had to go a bar to a cocktail event one time when we were in Vegas. Okay, I ordered a mocktail.

19:41 I order soda water with lime and put that in there. Eventually, it does become socially easier, But I think that's a big thing that still a lot of people in the biohacking health realm, they're still drinking alcohol. That's going to be damaging for your cellular health. How many people do you think drink? Cause they actually want to drink versus just do it socially because they, Oh, I think it's highly social because I've had people say like, so what you're telling me is that I don't want a drink, but then it is like awkward when I'm out with friends and you know,

20:13 then I am not having a cocktail of them. I feel awkward. You know black sheep left out. And the thing is, is it like I experienced this, your social group will change when you cut that out, because it's also like, I think it makes the other person feel more uncomfortable when, you say like I don't drink and you're around somebody who drinks. I, think, it, makes them feel, more, uncomfortable because, they have to do some reflection on themselves. Well, you don't want to be around people that you look at.

20:47 It's a reminder of what they should be doing and should not be. Yeah. And you serve as that reminder. So they either want you to drink with them or not. Be around them. Because if you're not taking part in the debauchery, then well, if Yeah. And the thing is like, I can still be around people that are like- No, it bothers you. It bothers them more than it- Yeah, and does it get to a point like when we're at events and like it gets to the point where it's like okay, the drinking's now getting to be like too much to where you can't have conversations anymore.

21:22 Yeah then we just leave. But I mean, Well, I think at the end of the day, It's just not my personal preference and just know that your results will be hindered. If those are the things I guess someone can make the argument with weed that the results wouldn't be entered. And they're probably, I'd say that's more true with the weed than with alcohol, but it's also with me. I don't know. Very, yes. Unfortunately, like I, don' have a craving for those things with or without peptides.

21:54 So for me, it just, not hard, But I understand that it is harder for a lot of people to want to do. Yeah. But yeah, I think just understand, don't blame peptides if you're consuming alcohol. Know that you are not getting all of the benefits of them if your consuming the alcohol, okay. We have rambled long enough. It's time to meet the people. Its time talk with the People. I'm going to go through the first question and we'll go from there.

22:26 Hopefully, and let us know guys if our cameras and audio are okay? I noticed it lagged for a second. But hopefully it's okay. All right, first question. And I remember to put them on the screen. Do you have an argument why I should lower my TRT dose of 25 milligrams per day if all of my blood work is good? Test equals 1900 to have no side effects. No, I do not have an argument. Keep doing it. What is you're doing? If you feel good and all your blood work is good. There's nothing wrong with a total testosterone of 1900. And understand if you are doing, so 25 milligrams a day, that'd be 140, 160. So like 165 ish milligrams

23:07 per week off the top of my head. No. I don't have a problem with that. You're good? There is nothing with the total testosterone of 1,900 whatsoever. Just because that's higher than the reference range. There's nothing wrong. So no, I don't have an argument. Unfortunately, keep doing what you're doing. That's what I would do Echo what's up? Big news for peptides. Yes. This week, any new collabs coming up? The one that I know we're going to do, we are going have the owner of Blue Shield, which is an EMF mitigation device.

23:42 He's going come in a few weeks. She's gonna be in the area and do a podcast with us. So that should be pretty cool. Not peptide related, but I do love a good talking about EMT. And so that's the only one planned, Other than that, nothing immediate. And so, but if anyone's out there and wants to do a podcast and feels like they would be good, we're always open to suggestions. We built the studio for us, but obviously we like to have guests too. But then it's funny with guests because then you get like, if people don't like the guest and they like send you hate messages about like you shouldn't

24:17 have the guests on. It's like dude, I'm just trying to one, help other people that I like. And then like two, it'd interesting to talk to them. There's just like people get so weird if you like talk too other that they don' like if they liked you, or people who don''t like me and then they'd like a guest, you know, so whatever. Yeah, nothing planned. Also, okay to mix LL37 and KPV together in a nasal spray. I would not do that personally.

24:49 You could do that and probably not going to do anything bad. And I wouldn't really use those in a nasal spray anyway, although they could be beneficial, particularly KPV with helping with Candida or any sort of like my microbes in the brain, because you can get that. But I. Wouldn't do. That personally, that would just be my personal opinion. Any new subs in. The stacks that I like, um, nothing comes to mind. Do we have any new supplements? No, I know we're getting ready to try some.

25:20 Some new stuff. I tried an allopregnenolone topical balm last night before bed. Yeah. Seemed to work, I slept, slept good. Had really deep dreams. Probably did something. But that may be astrologically, who knows? It's always hard with the dreams to decipher whether it's the supplements or the astrology. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on in astrology this, this coming week. You know what's one of those things is people think you, if you talk about astrology, you're like talking about devil worship,

25:52 which it's not. It's actually like very, it can be very scientific in a way. Yeah. If you examine astrology. Basically it just planetary alignment. What's interesting about that is like a lotta people say it to BS to which like I grant, but also it hasn't lined up, And so you can choose to acknowledge it or not. But it's like saying like the moon is not out. It's, like, yeah, the Moon is out, you could say that it doesn't have anything to do with you. Like Neil deGrasse Tyson says that there's no possible way that the gravity from the Moons affects anything with humans.

26:27 Yet we know that moon affects menstrual cycles in women because of the And so it's like, you can say that it is not there. Yeah. The moon affects the tides, obviously. But how would it, if we have water, just like the ocean has water. How would gravity from the moon not affect us? I think there's a conspiracy. My sister sent it to me that like sometime in like August of this year, there was supposed to be like some, they're messing with the gravity and it was going to mess like with us. I don't remember.

26:58 I don't know how they're always messing with us. Yeah. I do think astrologically, like, I dunno, something is going on. That's the thing though. It's always that have happened. The last, it's all the last like few days. Oh yeah. But to the point of the weird thing, different is. Going on right now. To the of weird things happening. the video that I released yesterday about peptides, actually had to film three times because the two previous times that The mic recorder erased and corrupted

27:30 the file after it existed. So like I went to it to listen to, and then it erased the audio file, had to film it again. The file was fine and I plugged in the computer to edit the video and it erases again. And so I filmed that video actually three times. Mm-hmm. Then of course, the third time I made sure I did a double backup. Well, then you said one time like elevator music. Yeah, and then elevator or music started playing over the file, but the fire was corrupted. But then there was like elevated elevator, music in first 10 seconds, which makes no sense whatsoever.

28:01 And so what was that? I'm sure there's a technical explanation for it, but what is even higher or beyond the technical. Somebody want not want me to film that video. Well, I could, yeah. I guess you could say that someone doesn't want to make any videos. There'd be a lot of people, happy out there. If I just shut down making videos for good for whatever reason, that's not what I want. But it's kind of one of those things like you choose to believe it or not exist.

28:32 So anyway, moving on. I don't know how I got there from LL37 and KPV. Yeah, I don't either. That's why people are here. They were entertaining. I hope so. It's worthwhile. Mid-40s female, perimenopause on HRT, still getting colds every six weeks, travel often, using TA1 max 500 micrograms, get headaches, tried Vlon, chrysogen, 500 mcg daily. What else would you add? I would definitely, if you're traveling a lot, it's one of those things you are getting exposure.

29:03 Glutathione would be a major thing that I'd add in if your not using, that's going to help a I would be injecting 100 to 200 milligrams of glutathione two, three times per week. In this case, from there, you could add in a product called Thymogen, T-H-Y-M-O-G-E-N. That's going to be really good. It's a bioregulator, but it's just a little bit more targeted than thymolin, which is another bi-regulator. You could actually add both of those in if you choose, But those would the ones I'd add. And you can also do LL37 as well, if it is some sort of viral or microbial infection.

29:36 There was literally a fruit fly inside of my coffee. The fruit flies are out in full force these days. I don't know how to get rid of them. If anybody knows how get to the fruit. We have those little traps. Is there any peptides for fruitflies? I put a bowl of water and like sugar out on the counter. Those that don t dump it out. Anyway, but that would be my recommendation for the immune system.

30:06 I would also say for the headaches, they say something about headaches. I think they said, well, it said max 500 micrograms because they get headaches from the thymus. Oh, okay. Just kidding. And also like, um, say like minerals too, like mineral intake, but that was. Yeah, that can help too. That's always going to be good to help. Also we did it at A4M last weekend. There is a company that has, You wouldn't call them vape pens, but they're inhalers.

30:36 Maybe they are kind of vaipens, But it has carbon-60 and glutathione and ATP. And they also have, that's their energy one. Then they have an immune system one that has Carbon- 60. Carbon 60 is great for your immune systems. So you could travel with that and just hit that pen. We were like hitting it. I felt like I was like a, like, a 14 year old bad boy with my vaepen. Yeah. Like, wait, this isn't doing what I think it's doing. They could probably make one that carbon 60 and THC. That would be an interesting combination.

31:07 Yeah. I don't know if it could be like water soluble. Oh yeah. So that's the whole point is that it is like, it water-soluble so it not like toxic. It did feel weird doing that. it did. Feel weird at first. Like I'm not supposed to be doing this anymore. What is it like muscle memory? Yeah, yeah, Next question. I know about your love for Cardalax. How do you feel about its natural cousin, Sigamir? If someone's using it as a bi-regular capsule, would you still reach for a Cardilax?

31:37 Thanks for the show. Yes, I would. Sigamar is going to be a little bit more systemic. Chemically speaking, they're pretty similar from all estimations that I can tell, but the cartilax is going to be much more targeted so you can inject that into an area and actually get more benefit into that area where sycamore might just be a little bit more systemic if you have like chronic pain or inflammation or rheumatoid arthritis. But that would be my recommendation. Yes, you could definitely do them both at the same time.

32:07 I think that's one thing I haven't really talked about, but doing a combination of the injectable with the world by regulators. I think that's a great thing to do just to enhance them. It's kind of hitting it from both sides. Wendy has recently started TRT at 63. He's using the cream after six weeks. His T was lower. A couple of points, FSH and SHBG were also low. his numbers have been very consistent below for years. Well, point in case, this is why I don't recommend cream for most people.

32:38 I think cream can be great for the right person. So here's what happens with cream is first of all, what happened is you are using exogenous testosterone. So what you're gonna start to do is create this feedback loop to where your brain no longer feels the need to produce FSH and LH to create testosterone in the testes. Okay, fair enough. That's what we do with exogeneous testosterone, however, The cream is very short acting.

33:08 And in my opinion, because of the short-acting nature of a cream, you can take it. So let's say you take your cream on a Monday morning, and then Tuesday morning you get your blood drawn, but you haven't taken your next dose of cream Tuesday. Your testosterone will be bottomed out because you've cleared it all. Whereas with an injection, you're going to metabolize that over a period of time. Thus your levels stay within the stable range, which feels good. That's what I think like the purpose of therapy is to create yourself in a stable And with the cream, you're bottoming yourself out.

33:42 And so you were in the cycle of like, sure, your more like naturally pulsing, but if your baseline is always going back to zero, rather than like the bottom of the therapeutic range, You're not going to feel good. Your level is going be low in this case than they were even pre testosterone therapy. So his levels probably would not be that low if they did a blood test like three hours after his last application of cream. But if you wait 24 hours, then it will be. And to that point, that's why I just am not a fan of the cream because you see with low FSH, it is shutting down his natural production,

34:16 but he's not getting the therapeutic benefit of it. Should have just put in the chat at the bottom that he is applying the creme every day. Well, yeah. And that's what you have to do. If I had to apply it twice or three times per day, you metabolize quicker. Like you're going to burn through your cream. Yeah. Yep. So that would be my recommendation is to just switch to injections. I know a lot of people don't want to hear that, but that why I'm a bigger fan of injections than the cream until I just don' I mean, I wanted the creme to work so bad when I was using it.

34:50 Did you get more DHT spike? But it just never did. I always went back to injections and that's pretty much where I've decided to stay now. You also, there's the whole HDL argument that the HD will probably lower a little bit with injections, probably go up a bit. With the creams. And I understand that they're more biologically similar and more bio identical than the injections. Just for me, practically, it's just always been better with the injection. Yeah.

35:21 You got me into peptides a few years ago, Hunter, and I've tried them all, but at this point, I don't feel or notice anything from them anymore besides SS 31. Maybe it's just from having my TRT dotted on. Yeah, here's the first thing. The hormones are going to be 90% of the equation. Peptides are cool, But they're really like the icing on the cake. We talk 90 percent of time about the Icing on The Cake. It's always 90-10 rule. 90% of the stuff we talk about is 10% the benefits, which is the peptides. 90 percent of benefits is ten percent we talked about, and I think that's the case now. SS31 yes is an amazing peptide.

35:52 There are amazing peptides to that point though we were talking about earlier with cellular health is It's just, if you have good cellular health, peptides will just be the icing on the cake. And so if I'm really healthy and I go inject TB 500, am I going to notice anything? No. If I got to tear my shoulder and inject to be 500. Am I gonna notice something? Of course I am. Yeah. So that's where peptide's come in. They're tools to create certain things. if i'm Really lean, like if am 80% body fat and i take a GLP, Am i gonna get shredded? Probably not. Like, why would I want to get more shredded? You know, if I'm already 8% body fat.

36:24 And so there are other benefits of a GLP that are anti-inflammatory. I think a lot of times they're doing stuff in the background that you might not notice. They're keeping that cellular health healthier and they are playing more of the role in that. Yeah. You're not always going to feel them and that's okay. And I think too, once people start to feel really good, you have this honeymoon phase of six to 12 months where whatever it is, TRT, peptides, whatever, like, Oh my goodness, this is amazing. How do not, how does the whole world not know about this? And then you start talking about it on social media and you get kicked off social.

36:54 And. Then you're like Oh wait, You'd start normalize to it. and then You're Like, wow, I actually just feel Really good. Like most days I feel good but I don't get up thinking like. Oh My goodness. I Feel so good today. Like I don't do that every day. Cause I just feel good. But I do like if, if someone else got put into my shoes, they would do. Yeah. Because they're so far from actually feeling. And I think that's probably where, you know, it's you're not always going to feel it.

37:25 So. I'm not saying this comment is saying, this, but a lot of people that just say peptides are completely BS to which I would say, I mean, have you tried them? The interesting thing about peptide is like all these influencers talk about, Oh, the peptids are so bad. They're probably going to, now that they can have telehealth companies, their own white label tele-health company to sell peptidies. Now all of a sudden peptidae are going be so good. So good for you. Buy your, buy your peptiides right alongside like whatever supplement that I am, like your AG1 or whatever.

37:58 which is obviously not sponsored by AG1 and probably actually never will be, not probably never we'll be. But, um, you know, it's kind of funny. It's also like, You're welcome. Like, because I feel like if it wasn't for people like us and other influencers like in the research peptide world, I don't think I don't think this would be happening because we put the information out there and blew it up. I. This would.

38:29 Well, my ego would like to think that I don't, I'm not saying it's because of us. I just saying in general, it the movement, the movements of like everybody talking about this and pushing it. And it like, especially when, you know, people want to poo poo on research peptides. It's like you can poo-poo on them, but they also play a big forefront on getting them here and getting everything happening. Well, I think with being going into the medical, it's just all about money.

38:59 It's all. About money is like everyone has like their money and then it just like, you know, and I'm not saying like it, not that I don't care about. Money, but it. Just like when you look at the messages driven, so like. Eli Lilly says compounding pharmacies are dirty, bad. Compounding pharmaces like the research companies are bad and honestly like it's just like they all just fight over it. That's funny because half it all comes from the same place. Yeah.

39:29 Anything you would recommend to enhance performance for a 48-year-old female marathon runner? I mean, the stock answer to me would be Carterine, because that's going to help so much with endurance, help with recovery and everything. There's like one compound that really does help within endurance training. It would Cartering, but obviously to 48 year old marathon runner. Please, please, be on testosterone if you're a woman and that you, um, just because like that will wreck your neuroendocrine system.

40:00 And so that would. The first thing obviously, yeah. What's up, Sheena? She says, to elaborate on my IPA, do I continue to take it if I got an injury during a cycle? Is it was still working inside the body if you don't have an empty stomach? Yes, I would continue. Take it to help with systemic IGF levels to up with recovery. And it does work, but I will say it works a lot less effectively if Rothermal peptides, you'd have to get them across the blood brain barrier, which if you have low insulin levels, it's going to be more effective at crossing the brain brain.

40:32 And that's why you like to take them fasted. Although I will say they've not, they're not worthless. If you eat them with food, They're just substantially less effective. But I wouldn't like if the, if, the only choice is to. Take it with, or not take it at all. I would say to, take you with. I don't mind getting peptides from a doctor, but I'm having a huge problem with what with doctors of trust or if they have any experience or knowledge or education with peptide. There you go. Would you rather get your peptids from doctor who doesn't know anything about them and tells you to take the wrong thing?

41:02 Maybe. Yeah, I totally, totally understand. Totally understand that. What up Christy? She says fully grew Taylor. She's so on point. The subject with so many of my clients also on Reda. They have a burn feeling. And I think that gets induced from inflammatory foods. I Think when inflammation is up, this red burn, feeling gets flared. Ladies need to eat less fat and more carbs.

41:33 Yes. Meal plan and my body completely changed. Thank you, Taylor, for helping me put carbs back in my life. Game changer mentally and for my thyroid too. You know what I think about people, people that carnivore people will hate when I say this. This is just like, if you ever notice not all A lot of carnivore people, they have this like underlying anxiety.

42:03 Like if you look at them, like they're not just like chilled out. And I think there's something to like carbs, cause your body needs carbs just as much as it needs like fat or protein. Like more people, like if you took someone that just ate like 50 grams of fat or less per day, it has like three or 400 grams carbs moderate, you know, moderate to high amount of protein. Like they're just kind of like more chilled out. Whereas I feel like people that are like constantly doing like carnivore or keto, they are just a little bit on edge.

42:36 I think there's one, there is one person that we know I'm not saying it's not everybody, but I do think that there's the people that I've interacted with have majority been like that. They do know one person that like comes. I am sure. And I know there are people. That there. But like, I agree with that, like one in 20 that you need better. It's kind of like we're talking about, we just like some people, you just need to be like bro, take a hit of this.

43:07 Like somebody's like. Bro. Eat some fruit. Just have a little bit of rice. I promise it's okay. It actually will be beneficial to you. And also two GLPs have completely changed the paradigm. So if you're so worried about it, just take a GLP. Problem solved. What's up, Heather? She says, if lifestyle mindset, nutrition or not dialed in along with appropriate movement, it can serve a purpose to lose weight, but not the life changing results that are possible on every level, which is a hundred percent true.

43:41 Yeah. I think the lifestyle like, and self-awareness is, a huge, huge one that people don't, in stress levels that, people take into consideration. And I personally like have gone and struggled with that recently. It does make a difference like with how I'm retaining water, how am holding onto fat. Like I see that, you know, I am taking every peptide, every hormone and I. See the results of like high induced stress in cortisol levels affecting my physique right now.

44:14 And that's something that people have to, yeah. I think that gets ignored and you have take that into consideration too. Yeah. Any experience in a great full parasite cleanse protocol? Parasite specifically, I know Ivermectin is really great for parasites. You could do like Ibermctin and Finben. Those are great. LL37 is great, KPV can be great I think if you just did those right there, that would probably be a good parasite. I'm sure I am not by any means an expert in parasite cleansing. That would just be like, if someone came to me and said, Hey, you got a parasite now, what would you do?

44:47 That'd be I do. But there's way better people out there to talk about parasite cleans. Yeah. Is there a limit on age for a man or woman to start hormone replacement? My OBGYN will not give any of her patients hormone placement if she has not started with 10 years of last cycle. This is complete garbage hogwash from doctors that have no idea what they're talking about. However, if someone has not like, let's say your last cycle was 10 years ago or more and you have not been on hormones. Yes, you do need to stair step and slowly introduce hormones, but this is absolute garbage information from the WHI that is trash,

45:26 trash trash. Do not listen to that. And so I would get a new doctor. immediately. The reason I'm even being kind of like obnoxious with that is because that that has information that it's factually been proven not to be true. Like documented, I could go find you the studies right now that prove that statement that came out of the WHI is wrong. And for goodness sake, it is 2026 here, and we're still going on bad information. Yeah. And you have to admit to you, environmentally, that's affecting hormone levels.

45:58 Like everything in the environment is affecting it. And the thing is, you don't want to wait. No, but this is like, You're not going to, wait until you're, what, are you going change your oil when it's time to change the oil? You are not. Going to. Wait until the. Oil is completely. Drain and. What the doctor is saying though, is that the WHI in, the likes of that information. tried to tell people that if they had their last cycle and that it's been 10 years or more since they have that, that introducing hormones would then cause cancer.

46:29 That's what the information the doctor is using. Say it is dangerous because you've not had hormones, now reintroduce them would be dangerous. And that's baloney. It's just not true. If you have type two diabetes, GLPs will only get you so far for certain. Amen to that. I have friends who have reached their goal weight without it. Applied to a 30 pounds away, still 70 pounds lighter and healthy. Exactly. A lot of people are turned off by him. Dr. Trevor just made a really good video explaining red and not working.

46:59 There you go. Yeah. Would it be okay to add KPV to the same syringe as TURS if a local reaction is occurring? I mean, I wouldn't personally do that, but you could try it if you don't mind just like wasting a shot, see what happens. But I would ask yourself, why is a reaction occurring with the turzapetide? Like ask herself that and that would probably lead you to the right answer. Is it an immune thing? Supply thing. I think it's more of animmune thing than a supply thing in most cases, 11 year old, brain autoimmune condition, any delivery methods for cerebral isin

47:41 beyond IM. I mean, you could do it sub Q, but no, that's my knowledge. There probably have been people that have nebulized cerebral Isin. And I just wouldn't know how to go about doing that. Nor do I know. How effective it would actually be. Any recommendations for someone who has low blood counts across the board low white blood cell count red blood so count hemoglobin hematocrit neutrophils and lymphocytes 48 year old female and great to shape physically.

48:11 Well I would ask if you're on testosterone because a lot of times. To me, this is like probably like a nutrient deficiency thing. I would guess just going off of what I'm hearing. And sometimes testosterone can help restore like red blood cell count and all those things. So that would be my recommendation is check your hormones. Say you're in great shape physically, which I am sure is true, but it could be one of those thing like the hormones are needed there and there could some sort of like Deficiency. I'm not saying you're not healthy, but just some sort of deficiency that you could be missing from like food or supplements or whatever.

48:48 What is the recommended dose of MK777? Just purchased their 12 milligram per pill. Is it one per night? Do you have to get fasted like Tessa or Ipa? Currently 1.5 milligrams of RETTA, 200 milligrams a test. Yes, 12 milligrams is fine. I do 10 milligrams, so I have 10 milligram capsules and I'll do ten milligrams. Some people do 20 milligrams and they like that and that's good. Good for them. You could do two, you could try two pills, which would be like 24 milligrams see how you like it. But to me, 10 mg is perfect. Ideally, yes, you would take it fasted like Tessa and IPA.

49:18 I think because that's a small molecule, probably less important, but I would still say important. So yes I, would do it and fast it if at all possible. Although I don't think it would be again, to go back to like, is it better to take, it with food or to not take at, all probably better, take with it food and just in terms of the end result. If I want to take a break from RETA, can I use TERS as a bridge? Will that still reset receptors for future Reta use, or do I need to completely come off all GLPs to reset?

49:49 What do you think? I would, I'd come of all of GLP's for four weeks. Yeah. And then either add Ters in or Rete back in. I do think you can potentially like, so they're different compounds. They're hitting the same receptors, but they are different. And so I think like rotating back and forth between them, you do probably get some effect, But it's not like the, same as like cleaning out your receptors.

50:26 Would you usually take a month based on the half-life? Like it four to five half lives to eliminate in a six to seven day. That usually is like a months time period. Now the question is like, what do you do? I honestly think, okay, let's just play. Let's play a game for a second. You have three months. Got to be off of GLP. What do. For three. Yeah. I would run injectable five amino. Yep. Oh, do some, I was actually into MOTC too.

50:57 And then I. Do. probably ATX or sleep is what I would do. I also needed a little bit more endurance and maybe add like some quartering in on my cardio days. Yep. Yep. I mean, HGH should always be a staple and that'll be there to kind of help support you.

51:28 Testosterone should also be staple. Yeah. Desiccated thyroid should be always a stapled, but that's exactly what I would have said. Five amino, MOTC, ATX, could even throw some BAM slew. Slew by itself. It's actually the cycle that I want to actually run right now. And then what was the last one that we said? Carterine. Cartering. Boom. There you go. Like, Yes, you're not going to get the appetite suppression from that, but I think for fat loss you can, it's like pretty darn close to like help you bridge

51:59 a gap. And honestly you wouldn't have to do it for three months. You can do like a month or two and be still pretty good. Wasn't that brown bottle that we take that tastes really bad? Is that carderine? That's GW0742, which is kind of like cardering but better. Which I like that too. I liked that. Yeah. There's just, there's the last human studies on it. Yeah. I just take 10 milligrams of that. Well, I combine them too, but I can buy it with the Dada sometimes.

52:32 DADA would be another great one. Oh, carnitine. Take your own carnatine I bring mocktails, all my events and have fun with it so much. So my friends always want what I'm drinking. There you go. Exactly. Give me some of the, it's all up here and in here in your heart. It's funny because I've done that at some family events and one of my family members like, Oh, this is really good to be good with some vodka. Yeah.

53:02 I hear the term a low dose right out all the time without defining low-dose in terms of longevity, inflammation, metabolic benefits, what dose range you consider low dos. I mean, specifically to answer the question, I would say probably under two and a half milligrams would be the low, the load dose. But for some people it can be different. Some people, low doses, 100 micrograms, some peoples 1.5 milligrams. So people might be 3. 5 milligrams that's still a relatively low does to the pharmacological pharmaceutical dose of eight to 10 milligrams, I remember when I made the video of high-dosing Reta and the highest I went was four milligrams and people were like, that's not even a high dose.

53:35 They were reading in the comments. Relatively speaking. I mean, relatively to who you are. Compared to 12 milligrams, yeah. That is a low dose, Been on HRT since February, test C, desiccated thyroid, DHEA, and vitamins. Two weeks ago, I began a cycle of SS31 and now experiencing 20% in loss of strength. Could this be from the SS 31? I've never seen that. So anything is possible, but I have never a 20 percent loss in strength from SS 31. If anything, I feel really good strength wise,

54:11 or I do. So not saying it's not that, but it also could be something else, doesn't sound like there's any other variables there. I don't know. That's a tough one. Do you think it's still safe to sell as a research company? I've seen a lot of FDA letters sent out last week. I mean, safe, like are you going to jail? Yeah. Like I wouldn't worry. There's no criminal. Yeah, so what, if you actually look at those letters, what it is, is telling them you're selling GLPs as misbranded drugs.

54:46 Also the ones that got in trouble, they had school groups and things like that telling people doses and they've got studies on the website talking about fat loss and. And so that's what they're getting in. Trouble for is the presentation of those and also for GLPs. But if you notice, there wasn't a lot said about like VPC, MOTC, those things, it was really just the GLP is, which again, that what I care about. This is a big rug pull that we're dealing with right now. We're going to give the people their peptides, we're gonna give you slow life slaves your peptide, and we are going maintain territory over the GOP's and

55:23 make all the money over GOPs. That's my opinion. Do I think it's safe? I didn't it safe, but it also, it not that it is risk free, But it' also to, if you look at the people that got in criminal trouble for peptides, It's not really the peptide. Like there was a company that was selling peptids and they were also spiking their SARMs with testosterone. More people are getting in trouble with SARMS. And then also when you put a controlled substance inside your SARM and then tell people it was not a SAR, there is testosterone in it.

55:55 we got a problem. And so that's what people get in trouble for. Also faking COAs that just like looks bad. So it draws bad attention to you. But I think there are a certain set of guidelines that if you operate by, you should be fine selling research peptides. As long as it's actually research and that you can document for its research. If you have influencers promoting your product, that's where they don't like it. They don' like you saying that this is for research purposes, yet influencers are injecting themselves on camera and posting it all over TikTok and Instagram.

56:27 Yeah. So they also just put in the comments, do you companies, the companies that are getting the letters, um, need to shut down or just remove GLPs? They on the letters tell them they have 15 days or 14 days to remedy what they got cited for and then to resubmit their website or whatever to the FDA. So not even saying that. And then if they don't do that, then the next step that you, if you look on, the letter is basically injunction or seizure, which means that they're going to shut down your website. Or stop you from selling or take your funds or.

56:59 Yeah. Again, not a lawyer at all. Not legal advice to never, never act on anything that I say. However, What I'm telling you is that it appears that there are lots of steps along the way before it would become something that you're like, Oh man, like really in trouble here. But again, I'm not saying like they're basically not sending letters like I am going to shut. Yeah. They're not selling this. It's more so you need to remove X, Y, and Z. Or then we're going pursue the next step.

57:33 We're gonna continue to do this very blatantly. And so it kind of sucks because like those people get singled out probably because of the scale that they are at. But it's like, they aren't alone in doing it. You know, there's other people doing that. So. What is a good detox protocol? Well, Sean, if you check, I know you're in the group, Shawn, go back to the live call that we did. We actually just did a whole thing on detox and there's a hole slide deck. You can download two weeks ago. No, it was last week.

58:03 Last week, so like not this past Thursday, but the last Thursday. Um, sum that up. Activated charcoal, spirulina, chlorella, zeolite, glutathione, NAC, glycine. That'll be most of it. There you go. With transdermal peptides, since they come already come mixed, are they temperature stable or do you still want to store them in the fridge? I think there's temperatures too. In my experience, they're temperature-stable and they have been over the course of me using them.

58:37 So yeah, I would say that's fine. It probably doesn't hurt to put them into a fridge, but. Taylor, Are you so using the TB BPC eye drops? Any updates or tips or if I missed an update video? I have not been using those eye drops and I probably should need to. I need too. Yeah. That happens. But I mean, I've had so much like positive feedback that I, people saying using for floaters and sharpness, the float is going away sharp and vision.

59:11 So yeah. P 21 seems to help a little bit too, Yes, it does. It does, and cerebral lyosin. There's a new study that came out that said hexarelin improves retina health. Interesting. That's the funny one, that hexairelin. Got use cases, but it's just not one I would do all the time. What protocol do you recommend for a 45 year old woman who has been in perimenopause for over five years on HRT, had a lot of muscle strength,

59:43 trained four times a week and teach two cycling classes per week? And then here we go. Need some more information. You need to lose eight to 10 pounds of fat have stayed at the same weight for eight years and body can shows BMI 24%. She means body fat, 24% weight, 153 and five, six would love to see more muscle definition. I would say a GLP I'd say. changing up macros, because that can make a difference in the physique, cutting down fats, upping the protein, up in carbs,

1:00:23 and I would add more strength training days. The simple way that I think about this is five things testosterone, growth hormone or growth, hormone peptide, insulin sensitizer via GLP or metformin or Jordians or all three desiccated thyroid, something to support the thyroid and then a mitochondrial agent, MOTC or SS31. And I saw HRT, but progesterone too is going to be a big one.

1:00:54 Cause that's going help with your stress levels. Yeah. Protocol for GALT, my obese friend I have on Reddit keeps getting a flare up. Jardients, metformin, GLP, hormones in check. Those will knock out most GALLP because a lot of it stems back to insulin resistance. Yeah. Or JARDIANTS or farcega. And the reason I say farziga is it just became a generic. So you can get farsega if you get a doctor to write a prescription for you, like 30 bucks a month.

1:01:24 That reminds me, I didn't take that this morning because I couldn't find it. You labeled the thing and I couldn't read. Well, I know also wine can also cause gout. A lot of people think it's like, like shellfish and red meat, but the wine actually is one of the biggest layer ups of gal because of sugar. Wendy says, we gotta say my husband is using a hundred milligrams.

1:01:54 I'm guessing this is of the cream, which is a low dose of cream. Typically you want to see 200 milligrams per gram of green. So yeah, even worse because you're getting a lower dose that then will shut down, but you are not getting high enough dose. What a shame with the doctor. Regarding the PEPs moving out of category two, any thoughts on how long it'll be before social media algos loosen up on restrictions for discussing them? Never. So this is how it works guys. There are these companies. So take any company do this, type in any and say, EI Lilly top five shareholders, meta top, five shared holders, tick tock top.

1:02:37 Five shareholders. What other platforms? Google alphabet alpha. Cause it's not Google's alphabet alphabet top Five share holders. And you will see a recurring pattern. BlackRock, State Street Global Advisors, probably going to get all the stuff we're going talk about in this podcast video live stream. And this is what's going get it kicked out. Blackrock, state street global advisors, Vanguard, and maybe a little bit of what other asset holders are out there. Those would be like the big three.

1:03:08 So, Look up any of your favorite people, the favorite platforms or the favor company, look up their top three shareholders and see who they're owned by. Then you start to realize, oh, Visa and MasterCard with their Top Three shareholders. look up who the top three shareholders are, and then tell me if there's not a theme going on there. And so when it's all run by the same people, if they have an invested interest in pushing a certain profit agenda, that's what it was gonna be.

1:03:39 So do I see the restrictions loosening up anytime soon? No. As much as the FDA has good intention people that wanna do the right thing, You look, always go back. Remember what I said, it always goes back to the money. And so I would just tell you that, and it's unfortunate because of, believe me, if there's anyone that would love to see a loosening up of restrictions on social media, he would be me. I feel like my stuff is pretty bland compared to what's out there. Yeah.

1:04:09 intentionally. I was actually just talking about this, uh, with one of my best friends and Taylor I'm talking to this morning. What I want to do as everything in social media continues to become like short form, I am going to be come so obnoxiously long form that it like is like so aggressive and obnocious. It's like, wow, like I wanna do like three to four hour long videos on a specific topic. So that it's like so obnoxiously boring that if it gets taken down, it like, if that's what's getting taken, down versus like the stuff that on short form

1:04:47 social media, then it probably is really a threat because I wanted to be so boring and so dry that, like how could you take that down? Because no one would even watch it. Like that how boring it is. So on brand for you. And so you will see, As everything in social media continues to get more outrageous, mine is going to continue to reverse outrage.

1:05:18 Maybe that's a good phrase for it. Reverse outrage, so boring that you would put it on and go to sleep at night. Although I would pity the person that would play my videos at But it could, it probably would be a good thing. What is the best peptide to go to sleep? Just turn on my videos and they will pour you to death. It's kind of funny. Cause like when random people ask me what I do, I tell them, they're like, Oh, can I like see your stuff online or whatever? You want to bore yourself to the death, go ahead. And I think a lot of times people are like how does this per like a stranger meet you, not like people that watch us, like I stranger meets you and then

1:05:53 they actually go look up your videos. They are so confused. As to what is going on. This person is just talking into a microphone about the most boring. Not only is he talking about from he's mumbling and trailing off at the end of his sentences, nonetheless, and people still find it so compulsive to watch. They are very confused. Yeah. So thank you guys. Majority of our family. Thank you, guys to the people that are watching right now that support us and everything. Cause we love you. I get to dream come true. Really what I mean that when I say this for me to get, to do this, because I was actually a person that watched whatever ecosystem it is.

1:06:29 And I'm talking about this podcast called hardcore history with Taylor this morning and Dan Carlin. Oh, I haven't listened to it a long time. He would do like these four hour podcast episodes that like to most people would be so boring, but I thought it was the coolest thing because they were like so detailed and I love doing that. And I would listen to them when I was like driving or doing monotonous work or something like that, or cardio or. So that is my mission with my content. When everyone is preying upon the lowest common denominator of fear and outrage, I want myself to be.

1:07:02 That you will snore within three minutes of hearing. So I just want to support you, but someone, someone brought up the social media. And so those are, those were, you know, my current thoughts on the state of the union in regards to peptide social. I've heard that LDN can help reset receptor sensitivity. Say that five times fast amongst the other benefits. Is there any truth to this? And if so, can you talk about that a little bit?

1:07:34 Also, what dosages are you guys taking? There is a truth to that. And I think saying it resets receptor sensitivity is probably... It's the easy way to say it's probably not what's actually happening. It is an immune system modulator. So what it does is basically any peptide that you take, your body is going to have some sort of immune response to it, which is why we cycle on and cycle off. Now, I don't want you to think that means that your like going get an autoimmune disease from taking peptides. What it means is that, you build up these things called anti-drug antibodies to the peptid. And when you do that it stops working at the same dose at same effectiveness.

1:08:08 And what LDN does is it modulates that immune response to everything in the body, namely peptides. And when you take it, you maintain better sensitivity to the peptide over time with LDM because you're getting this constant signal of an modulation. So that's what it does. I personally take three milligrams a night before bed and I love it. It's one of my favorite things. Lindsey says, love you guys wondering any suggestions for Raynaud's?

1:08:38 I just finished a four week cycle on VIP. Can you run that longer or anything else you would recommend? Yeah. VIP could be great. You could probably do that for another like four to six weeks, at least. And I would say Raynaud's, I think a lot of times is a blood flow issue. So BPC and TB 500 would help. ARA 290 would probably help with that. Vessagen would, probably helped with, that and I, think thyroid a, lot, of, times it's very important for Raynaud's. Yeah, How much that's related to the blood vessel constriction or lack of blood flow?

1:09:10 I don't know, but what somebody's like revving their anger outside of our house. Oh, he was coming to pick up those chairs. Yeah. I was like, what is that? Did not realize how loud his truck is. You gotta love living in the South with loud trucks. No, I've never been one to love pipes have always like the loud muffler. That's always annoying. That's so weird because I feel like it doesn't annoy your brothers. No, no, so even as a teenager pipes annoying, what I'm saying is that when I was 16, my dream was to get subwoofers in the back of my 97 on a cord so that

1:09:50 I could just like put in my iPod video and just turn up rap music to the point where it was like Viper, like the windshield would be vibrating. I never got those, thankfully. on to better things, but I've never got the pipes. And what I'm saying is that when I was 16 and I wanted subwoofers so that I could play rap music really loud in my old car, I hated pipes at that point too. So like, is it a prefrontal cortex not being developed thing, or is just people like annoying other people with loud pipes so you hear them?

1:10:25 I like a loud truck. I mean, that is excessively loud. His is his, my nephew's truck is extremely loud. Like it annoys even like his parents. How loud? I drive a truck. I love trucks. Just don't like loud, loud things. Oh, I like it to be a little loud because I grew up in the South, but it's just, and I said, it was like my family. At some point, every one of my members had pipes on the truck that was really loud alpha.

1:10:58 What really annoys me is the motorcycles, like the loud. Oh, that I don't like that. That's just like, it scares you on the road too. It's like one along driving miles over. Yeah. And then it's, oh, and then like all of a sudden, right beside you. So, um, yeah, but, uh, the allowed noises. I guess better that than hearing a, a leaf blower and a two hour street. We had that too every Saturday, Like right when we turn on the coffee talk or right.

1:11:31 When I'm about to go sit outside is like when they just like they're trolling me. Yeah. The neighbors, landscapers are troling me and then you realize like how, how self-centered it is to think that like the universe is trolling you. And it's like, those guys are just like living their day. Yeah. Just like you're on a Saturday. They don't want to be. I know. Do you feel bad? I used to spread mulch on Saturdays and I hated that. Saturday's I hate it.

1:12:02 There's just grass clippings of mulched going everywhere and you were like I don' want be here right now. Now there's grass clipping everywhere. Such is life. Taylor, can you go into detail on your nootropic protocol? I heard you mentioned recently on a podcast, I believe that was with the Drew P21, maybe. Yeah. So, um, P 21 is definitely one that I like to use for neutral on my nootypic protocol. I would say P-21 cerebral liason have been, my favorite.

1:12:38 And then like for oral, I like using Nupep a lot. Dihaxa is another great one. Yeah. I mean, for me, the nootropic stuff, like those, those just do so well. Like I took NuPept on Thursday because we were flying and I had a whole lot of work to do. It's like, man, it just worked so good. What I'm saying is like I don't want to get to the point where those don' work anymore. Yeah. And those are honestly like, I don't run a lot of nootropic like cycles. Like honestly, like I just recently used cerebral Iosin, just like a month ago.

1:13:14 That's the first time I've used it throughout my whole like peptide journey over the last several years. So that's a first-time I have used. Um, so I do think. It's not something that like I focus on a lot, just cause I do feel like nootropic wise and like brain function wise. I feel I'm pretty good, but I think it is beneficial to like, I like to kind of like pop new tropic stuff in there, like depending on what we have going on, if I have to be like present and talking, it's more of a tool like as needed words and I don't like purposely run cycles.

1:13:51 Or if do I would maybe do it like once, once a quarter or something. I do see a lot of people, like I was talking to your mom about this. Like they have family members that have died of dementia or passed away from dementia. I have too. And they're so worried about that. What I want to tell them is like, look, I know that that's a real thing. That ApoE4 double allele is a really thing and that prevalence of Dementia is real. However, None of those people like had what we use.

1:14:25 They didn't have hormone therapy, they didn' have peptides and everything. And so like, it's just, we don't really know yet how effective those will be at completely like stopping that from ever showing up in someone. But I feel like it is going to be pretty darn effective when we look over the next 30 years of the cohorts of people using peptides. And we look at the incidence of, I mean, you can already see it in things like Jardians and semaglutide and things that we have even a little bit of data on. But it's like, when you talk about all this stuff together, what it is going to do is like I just, if someone has had tons of concussions,

1:14:56 the point of like permanently impacting my brain and what peptide can do. I don't think it something to worry about aggressively. Yeah, it's interesting because you weren't outside when I was actually talking to my mom about this. The other day when we were sitting outside and because we're talking about hormone replacement therapy and testosterone and she was saying that like she hasn't taken any. She hadn't taken any RETA and like, I think it was like a week and she noticed like pain coming back like in her wrist area.

1:15:32 She was, like when I'm not on the Reta, and I notice it go down. I was well, it's helping with the inflammation. And then we were talking about brain function. Now my mom is not estradiol yet. We are getting her on it now, but she's been on testosterone for about six months. Maybe maybe maybe about six months max because my mom's always like she also she's not the best about taking things on a regular basis,

1:16:02 but she told me she. notices such a big difference in her brain cognition. And I noticed a difference. Like I remember when just even like going back, like think about like the first time you met my mom versus her. Brain function now, how much it's improved. She even said, she was like, I feel like my brain is sharper because of the testosterone. I can't describe it, but it just feels clearer. And she's like, I just don't understand.

1:16:33 Like, she was like I don' know why your sisters won't do this. I dont understand why like my girlfriend at the beach, like maybe you can talk to her. And I'm like no, not talking to your friends. She's in that phase of like waking up where you're starting to feel the difference of everything working and now you want to help all these people around you. Um, and I've been there and why I made social media and a YouTube channel is because of this? No, you did that because I You didn't do it because you made me. I'm kidding.

1:17:03 Oh, I did it for myself. Um, you taught me how to do everything. But it's, it, that plays a big, big impact and estrogen with the brain. Like there's studies out there, like that it will help with. It helps keep the. Fatty and healthy. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's like, okay, if you have a person on testosterone, like a woman testosterone estrogen, plus a GOP plus Jordians plus metformin plus thyroid plus some

1:17:34 MSS 31. Like what does that look like over 30 years? Can you get dementia? I am sure it's still possible. Yeah. I think, I just think it is a lot less likely. And so I guess the point is like, people always ask like what peptide can I take? Cause I'm a candidate for dimension. It's like we'll just do the things that we talked about right there. Yeah. And that's going to solve 95% of the problems. Question. I keep seeing red, it should only be used once a week since it has a six day half life or do you still recommend three times a. Okay.

1:18:04 I, let me say this in the most compassionate way possible. I don't care how people take reddit. You can take it once a week and take a once, a month, take once year. Can you take them once today? I do not care. And I will not tell anyone that there is a certain way that you have to take. Because there are, there's infinite ways that she could take credit. However, what do we do with testosterone? Testosterone subunit has a half life of six to seven days in most people. Do you inject testosterone once a week?

1:18:35 Once every two weeks. No, it is very accepted to do testosterone at least twice a weekend, in most cases, three to four times per week if you're injecting it. And so when it comes to RETA, because they were designed for people to be compliant with them with the half-life, Because they know people are going to once-a-week more than they'll do once day or three times a They were designed that way to be able to have that half-life so that people just say, Oh, one shot a week. That's all I got to do. And so when people get into arguing over, no, it's once a weak, cause some made up reason about like, It's got get your brain that.

1:19:09 Like if you want it that, by all means do it. If you. Okay. Here's the thing. if, you, want a big spike in a, big trough. it once a week. That's what you're getting. If you want a very even keel experience to which you stay within a tight, narrowly-fined range based on your dose so that you don't have big swings in the feeling from it to where it feels more even, keeled, then you could do it multiple times a Cause I've been asked this so much and people love to fight

1:19:41 over once a week versus like this, and then there's microdosing and you know, it's just like, you got to do what works for you. So like the answer is whatever works. But if you want to stay within a range to which you don't have big swings, then split it up. And if want you to feel more side effects, especially relative to the dose, then do it once a week. But like, I could do a once-a-week, depending on the dosage, it'd be fine. Like, if I'm going to do five milligrams of RETTA, i'm breaking that up into three, 1.33333 milligram injections, or excuse me,

1:20:14 that would be four milligrams, but that's what I get for doing public math. Anyway, like That's what I'm going to do. And that's just my preference. I don't want to fight people on that. People get up in arms about split dosing and it really doesn't matter because at the end of the day, if you take it, it's going do what it does. Just try both and see what works best for you. And if you like it once a week, then by all means do it. But there's no, like I, and the reason I get messages all the time of people telling me like, I'm wrong for recommending that.

1:20:49 To that, that I would say like what is right or wrong? Because if want a big swing then yes, yes I am wrong. If you want more stable levels, no I wouldn't be wrong and again that's just subjective. It's hard to say objectively. HEH dose for loose skin, unfortunately nothing. You will have to get surgery in those cases for the skin. So instead of water and sugar, use apple juice for fruit flies.

1:21:19 We'll get some apple. In addition to TRT suggested addition dosing of oral DHEA and pregnenolone for men morning or night. My preference, if you're going to do both, would be 25 to 50 milligrams of D HEA in the morning and then 10 to 25 milligrams. Of pregnanolones at night, but you don't always need that. Some men don' t need it. I don t take D H E A, although I did get some injectable D He A that I'm going experiment with and see if that has an effect. But the oral doesn't really do anything for me and my levels are always really good.

1:21:52 And so I don't, but I do love pregnant alone. Like I'd do really well with pregnant. So that would be my recommendation for those. I actually don't know the answer to this question. Before colonoscopy, how long should you stop taking GLP-1s and can you still take CAGRI? I don' know. I do not know enough about colonoscopies to tell you. You want to be flushed out. So I would say come off of GLPs for like probably like at least a good month because it's going to slow down gastric emptying. Also not pro-colonoscopies.

1:22:28 Yeah. There's, I think sometimes there's more damage that can come from that, but I would say stop it for at least four weeks because of the gastric empty ends. Yeah. Got some good advice on fruit flies. If you leave fruit on counter, rinse with white vinegar, especially the top of man, a bunch and around apple stems. Are there any downsides on long-term LDN titrated up to 4.5 milligram for overall feeling good and preventing erythema, multi-form flare ups?

1:22:58 I don't think so. There's not anything in the literature that demonstrates that. And so the question, the answer is like, Clinically speaking, we don't know. I don' see any reason why it would be, but I won't think it's bad. i've been using it consistently without cycling off for the last six months. Bad. Don't see why I wouldn't be. Yeah. Keep freezing your camera or it looks like it was choppy earlier, But like on my computer, it is like smooth right now.

1:23:35 Is yours chopping? It was a minute ago. Yeah. I don't know if it's like the internet or yeah. Hopefully it was just not for you guys. Sorry if that is yeah, methylene blue while traveling. That's good. Could be a good antiviral. I purchased 10 vials of ACE31, I'm a postmenopausal woman and want to combat muscle loss in my thighs. I can't seem to find any real world protocols. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you very much. Yeah, so ACE 31 has a pretty long half life, like 15 days.

1:24:05 And if you've got 10 files, they're probably one milligram vial for post menopause woman. This is what I would start with is like 100 micrograms three times per week. So I would do 100 micro grams on my training days, pre or post workout. And I wouldn't run that for a little while and see how you do. There was a clinical trial with postmenopausal woman. Now they were giving them 300 milligrams, which is very, very high once per month.

1:24:37 And it did increase muscle, but they had to stop the trials because basically there was like vascular toxicity with that. But again, that's 300 milligrams. So that is literally one, imagine taking 300 bottles all at one time. That's the dose that they were doing with. that, so that would be my recommendation of H31. I've used it. It works great. When you get into the myostatin inhibitors, I'm not here today to talk about myonstatin and inhibitor and which ones work and what ones don't. is as good as any of them out there. So that would be my recommendation there Hey owner, my wife and I are wanting to get blood work done.

1:25:14 Also want to find a doctor on Tulsa, Oklahoma area for bloodwork that deals with hormones, specifically GH. Just send me an email and that can see if I can help. I don't know if, I may have one in Oklahoma, area that I could connect you with, but just send an e-mail. Someone said AG one is terrible for you. Probably I didn't even know enough about it. And I just know they sponsor like every podcast out there. Good at marketing, Is there any peptide certifications and official classes that a lay person can take? Or do you have to be a doctor? Yes.

1:25:44 Give me all your money. The only one that you can is mine because there's only, no, I'm kidding. I actually, we were talking about this this morning is like, I mean, there's plenty of peptide courses and I would say plenty ones that are good out there. Sarah Morgan has a new Academy is good. There's obviously like A4M and SSRP and those things. And those are. It's kind of weird. If I made a course, I would just give it away for free, but then you give away free and then people don't value it.

1:26:16 And then it's like, is it a real certification if you don' pay for it or whatever. But it is funny because actually this morning we were talking about like there was a desperate demand for like really, really good peptide education. It's very structured. I know this. It's like, one, I just need the time and need to take the to sit down and do that on top of what I'm already doing. And people are like I love your podcast, but like how am I supposed to learn this? I get that, you know, it's just like a scattered information.

1:26:50 Listen to it over and over again. Sorry, sorry for you and your spouse if you're out there listening to my voice over No, it's true. It's absorption. I think people want a very structured course because it makes us feel good inside to be like, oh, I sat down and I took that course and then I was done. When in reality, the best... I get a lot of health coaches, not so many doctors, because doctors...

1:27:21 If you tell them what to do, most of them know how to go do it. A lot health coach is like They're like, I got to go learn all of this stuff. I gotta take this. Got to take, this, got this again. Take this I've got, to get 17 letters and whatever. That's fine. Nothing against doing that. If there's anyone that learns and wants to learn, it's me. Like I'm constantly trying to. The best learning I do though, comes from what I'm doing right now in talking with people. The best way to do it is take reps. And so I get a lot of health coaches or people that do any sort of thing where they get paid for their expertise in regards to health.

1:27:56 They're always like, well, I need this. Like they have a limiting belief that they need more education. In some cases they do, but they have this limiting belief they need more education to feel that they permission to go coach people or advise people on peptides. And the only way to really do that, no matter how, whether you're taking no courses or a hundred courses is to actually do it. Because all the courses in the world don't change the back of like when you have someone that you were working with and they tell you, I took this and it did this to me. That's when. Yeah.

1:28:26 Supplying it to action. Yeah, and that's where, like, I will say, if there's one unique advantage I have, it's not my intelligence, not like I'm not good at creating content or anything like that. It's that I've just over and over, talked with people, experimented on myself, so I see more I would say this, if there's one thing I'm the best at, I have more anecdotal peptide user data in my head from people that I've talked to than most people on the planet, maybe anyone.

1:28:59 Yeah. And that's where it's like, that where you learn the most is when you experiment on yourself and you go out and help people with peptides. That's the the course you can take. I don't want to say that the courses are bad. It's just that people want this warm fuzzy feeling from Ting. Oh, I took this and I'm certified in this. Now I have the right. It's like, they feel like they have like now the accreditations to be able to go out and talk and teach it and use it into action.

1:29:33 That's kind of like I can sit here and watch, you know, by eight different online painting course videos and watch all of them. But until I actually go and paint and apply those techniques and experiment with those, techniques isn't what I'm going to learn and grow as an artist. So it's very similar to peptides. Very similar. Like I think about this, I went to one of the top 10 in the country undergraduate business school, Wake Forest University,

1:30:03 Go Deeks. I, what? It's really good. What? You said, mm-hmm. Tate was like, no one cares, dude. No. I'm trying to make a point here. Sorry. So I went to a top 10 undergraduate business school in the country. Mm-hm. And I majored in finance at that school. Also minored international political, I think it was political affairs, basically political science. Got a degree in Finance, political Science.

1:30:33 and I will tell you this, Nothing that I did in college from a course standpoint led me, well, everything led to where I'm at today. Nothing I that did from course stand point in my college degree is relevant to what I do today, however, the critical thinking skills that I learned from having to do those things, the writing for my political science and also a liberal arts education because in your undergrad at Wake Forest,

1:31:06 you have to take disciplines from every, or education from, every discipline and your first two years there and then you move into your major coursework. None of the material itself is relevant to anything that I do the way, but how I think it's very relevant. To what I did today. And I, think if you understand like continuing education and courses like that, none of. The material that you learn from a course. I don't want to say none, like very little of, the coursework that. You do, if, you take a peptide course is going to be relevant too.

1:31:40 How well you help people that comes from actually doing it. Yeah, what the course can do though is give you a framework for understanding how to think about these things so that you can then go out and apply that and put it to test in the real world and then get feedback and Then understand how you go about helping. Yeah. And so like believe it or not guys once upon a time I injected turz appetite once a week because I thought that was the best thing to do and I don't remember how it originated or whatever, but we started in the community, started playing around like, okay, let's break this up and see.

1:32:12 We noticed, oh, we take the total dose. All of a sudden it's a little bit better now. Side effect profile is less. I remember distinctly taking church appetite and I would take it on a Tuesday and on Friday nights, At that time I was training in the afternoon and Friday nights, I could not, it was like three and a half days. I would like train my butt off that I like need to go eat after. And I'm like, so sick.

1:32:44 And then I remember like Sunday night, I would be like, Oh, it's all gone now. You know, and like when you split up. And so the point being is like it comes to courses, there's great courses out there, but it. Comes from doing the work just as like business school can set you up You can get an MBA, you can a PhD in business, but until you go out and you knock on that first door, or you cold call that person and get your first client or whatever it is, your customer, and hear what they tell you back,

1:33:16 can't learn that, of course. That comes from actually doing it. Taylor, what is your experience with or for Gleapron? I bought some wondering about your experiences as a female taking it seems like six milligrams is higher than starting dose. I think that is the starting does because it goes from like 6 milligrams to 36 milligrams, but what are your thoughts? I think it is really good. I definitely got a lot of appetite suppression and almost kind of made me nauseous, like kind like that first time taking trisapatite.

1:33:46 So I mean, for me, it's very strong. Now I've had other women say that they've used it and it does nothing for them. Um, so I say, start with like one capsule. If you need to add more, add, more until you get appetite, suppression with it. Yeah, it's weird. Like I'll hear people say it doesn't do anything at all for them. And then some people, say like six milligrams, like knocks them out. For me, 12, to 18 milligrams for me was like, okay, feels good. Yeah. 12 was, I couldn't, do any more than 12. But it was good, good stuff.

1:34:16 FDA approved now, by the way. Thank you, Shina. We appreciate your support. Thank you. My clinic has me on sublingual TRT 200 milligrams, two times a day. So that more naturally mimics the natural rhythm of tea. Is this a good delivery method? Not in my opinion, but that's just my opinions. Everyone's got an opinion. Yeah. It's better than nothing, But I would say probably not. And so it's up to you what you do. I'm not telling you to do one or the other.

1:34:48 But in the idea of like naturally mimicking the natural rhythm T. It's not wrong, but it's also like, I don't know. I know women that were on it and they had the worst mood swings. Going out on a limb here. Like I would rather feel good enough. Yeah. If the, if the mimic was within a therapeutic range. Yes. But to the point we were talking about earlier with the cream, I don't want it to mimic natural production to which it goes back to zero every day,

1:35:20 you know, because then you're just kind of like going on this roller coaster. And a lot of times the bad side effects come from the Delta in the administration, meaning that like the change rather than the hormone. Yeah. Meaning like that you were constantly like moving up and down ranges. That's where you get bad. Side effects. What's up, Jim? Good to see you here. Question from Taylor. My partner has used GHK to get rid of sunspots caused by birth control years ago. They're like 80% gone, but still somewhat there. Any ideas to help?

1:35:50 Um, this is an ex, well, one, you could try a topical glutathione cream that could help. But my go-to, and I had sun spots, I have melasma, my goto product will be, um, Better Skin Science has an evening or even intense brightening serum that has been the best one. Again, it's expensive, but it to me, It's worth spending the money on the more expensive product.

1:36:21 You don't have to use as much rather than buying a bunch of cheaper products. It ends up being more extensive in long-term. So I would get, I wouldn't get that product or there's a one from Elastin. Their brighting serums really good too. Thanks, Jim. Said he's loving the MK777. Was going to do some methylene blue and liposomal glutathione after a pretty intense photo shoot.

1:36:51 Perhaps any other recommendations, maybe some bioreg to restore cycle. I don't think those are bad. No, I think they're bad, but I'm not sure if they'll help with restoring the cycle, meaning that they're not gonna have any direct effect on the reproductive system. The bioregulators could help. But you may need to replace the hormones too. Does daily minimum of around 50 grams of fat for a male become irrelevant in taking TRT?

1:37:24 In my opinion, it does. So there's this idea that like you need saturated fats to synthesize the cholesterol for testosterone, which is true. However, what if you get your testosterone from a syringe? You need that. I don't know that you necessarily do. But I do think it becomes much less of a conversation of you like relying on those fats to try to get the testosterone that you need. A lot of times it's not going to happen anyway. But yes, I, do you think that, that can be perfectly healthy without like a massive amount of fat.

1:37:55 You still need a minimal amount. Yeah. Sure. My wife is taking Carlax for, I am into the shoulder for injuries. It better for her to do subcube because she's complaining of throbbing post injection. Yeah, sure. She can try. I would just try it to see what works best for the best thing you can just do is get into it. I would maybe, I mean, it could also be the cartilax because it is a spicier injection for, for me it does anywhere. I'd maybe consider adding like maybe like a BPC or KPV or TB to it to maybe help with that.

1:38:28 Just with, to get some of that relief. Yeah. Good health as important as HRT. Very true. When taking glutathione, do you need to take a binder, for instance, activated charcoal? I don't think so. It depends on though, like how, are you poisoned? Then probably. But if you're just kind of like running a maintenance thing, I think you do it every time you take your glutothione. I titrated to eight milligrams, have read a True Tide over nine months. A plateau for about six weeks now is adding or switching over to Zaptide a good idea.

1:39:00 If so, what dose should I start with? It's really up to you. I mean, I would just ask before you even do that, what other things are going on there? Do you have other peptides addressing other different pathways for fat loss? That would be my first recommendation because you could stay on that disarray of trutide. All of a sudden you throw in some MOTC, some hormones, um, Carterine, Some ATX, any of those things that we talked about, five amino, Motsy, whatever. Um, and you can probably just keep on doing that. And so that would my recommendation, but yeah, sure. You could switch over to drosapetide, I don't know that go right to eight milligrams of trisapatitis.

1:39:35 You might be a little sensitive to it. So maybe start with like two milligrams a few times per week, see how that does. And then you can kind of like, okay, like this is going to be where I'm at. Well, I can say I've never heard of this. I developed a reaction to backwater, even different sources trigger tachycardia. Am able to use aliquoted and use stir water, but it's inconvenient. It seems less effective other options. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, sterile water is fine. You just want to make sure you mix it or use it within a few days of doing it.

1:40:08 But unfortunately, I. Don't. Know. To use. There's a phosphate buffered saline, which you can use, but I, don,t know that that would play well with every other peptide. Like some peptides is just fine with like, yeah, re 290, and I dunno how it will do well without the peptids. Having reactions with MOTC, large red raised area, any insights or tips? One, I would ask yourself the dosage. So the doses may be too high.

1:40:38 Second, ask your self, is it immune system thing? And if you're having an immune reaction to it, in that case, you might need Thomasin alpha-1. Might need a microdose of a GLP, might needs some LDN. Those could all help modulate the immune response to. Oh, we answered that about the cartilags. overall blah feeling and just want a good overall reset. Any suggestions, travel a decent amount for work and don't eat as well when traveling. So just wanted to add something for overall wellbeing.

1:41:08 I mean, if I had one for that, I would say SS 31. Yeah. Included. Yes. That was a glutathione sauna. Get some, get some detox going on in there. Cause I will make a difference. Yep. Why is cholesterol high during fat loss phase? And what do I do? Cholesterol is high. During fat-loss phase in most cases for a few things, it could be anabolic use. I don't know if that's present here or not. Assuming that that is not present, you are stressing your body out.

1:41:38 And so it is now cortisol is insulin does is go or cortisol is bottomed out. So you've like wrecked your cortisol signaling to which now insulin resistance becomes much more prevalent to, which leads to what is upstream from cholesterol and bad LDL cholesterol oxidation. And so ultimately it stems back to insulin, resistance that you're inducing through the stress It's funny, the fat loss causes insulin resistance because you're having a blowback from the over aggressive nature of dieting.

1:42:12 And so that's most likely what's happening and also two hormones are wrecked. So that causes cholesterol to be wreck. Like a lot of people can be very fit looking, skinny, metabolically healthy, and if their hormones are bottomed out, they will actually start to see insulin resistance and bad cholesterol creep up. And that's why, because in a lotta cases they're more or less like, yeah, it's everything. It's insulin resistant, over stress, chronic sympathetic signaling and everything, Thoughts on CJC IPA or Tessa IP for women and perimenopause looking

1:42:47 for more body recomp benefits. My, my recommendation would be CJT IPa for a woman. Yeah, I don't, uh, don' like to pair IP and Testa together. I like. Use them in separate cycles. Um, a lot of women get water retention with Tess. So I. Normally recommend in TESTA I do IP a CJ C and then cycle in something like an MK seven, seven seven or, um, using actual growth hormone. But I would never pair Tessa and Ip together.

1:43:17 You can. There's people that do it and they get great results, but just know that water retention risk is going to be a lot higher because those are two stronger growth hormone-releasing peptides. So that's why I recommend, especially for women not doing them together, Jim says I've been using P 21 and P 22 28. Can you use them as a nail spray? Yes. You can use both of those as nails spray. Um, you could probably do them together and it's fine. I would just use some separately cause they do a little bit different things.

1:43:49 P E 22, 28 is a bit more of an anti-depressant P. 21 is just a modulator of neurotransmitters helping with energy in the brain, helping reducing inflammation in brain. And so yeah, those are all fine to do Jim. Any tip or supplement tips for someone with polycystic kidney disease? I would say look at Jardians first, SS31. Those will be huge. Jartians from the metabolic aspect of it and the kidney health aspect and then SS 31 for the Kidney Health aspect.

1:44:22 Speaking of which, Kelly says Jardians versus Brinzavi, both SGLT2, but a huge cost difference. I was told only because Jartians is older, with more studies, basically the same thoughts, how many milligrams in the AM. Yes, I'm of the opinion, haven't used Brindsavi specifically, But I've used Farsega and Jarnians. And I think they're the exact same to me, milligram for milligram. Like you said, Kelley, it's just that Jarteans is order more established, more of like the first mover advantage. of that, but I would start with 10 milligrams if you're relatively metabolically healthy with Brin's Abbey.

1:44:53 Yeah. But yeah, I think there's a very good, even for already healthy people, of those to use. So, yeah. Started a nine week cut and started an AG protocol, maybe AM. AG Protocol, I'll have two milligrams, not seeing two, milligrams SS 31, five days a week, only four days in. Cool. That's a good stack.

1:45:23 I like doing those. Think that's something people could do more is mix those together. How would you dose 20 milligram vial of Vlon syringe dose and over what time period? Well, if you want, you can check this on the peptide cheat sheet. Have the exact instructions to do so. Long story short, two milliliters of water. 10 units to 20 units, five days on, two days off for 60 days. It's almost like I have that memorized. My test is 1125 and my free is 280 on cream.

1:45:55 My doctor wanted me to take an AI because my estroglyph was 81. I decided to it. She said I would have side effects, but I feel fine. Yeah, I mean, you probably feel find, But I will throw the AI in the trash because 81 at those levels is perfectly healthy to me. Yep. But, and you can do what you want. It doesn't matter to, me, just think AIs are garbage. yeah. feel great when my estrogen is 81, my testosterone is also high too. So. You gotta look at their ratio. Asking for a friend whose brother has muscular dystrophy, how would you point someone to research the peptide by a regular hormone area?

1:46:28 I mean, that's, it's a tough question to ask. I would just start if he has muscle dystopia, there's obviously like growth hormone peptides can potentially be beneficial. They talk about like myostatin inhibitors being beneficial, but those are a lot more experimental. And so I wouldn't push someone into like a myostat inhibitor if it's like their first experience with that. But you would also use something like cerebral isin to help with neuromuscular coordination and helping that way. That's a tough one. Yeah.

1:46:59 Do the companies who got the letters need to shut down or just remove GLPs? According to the letter is to do that? My actinic perpura has gotten worse on my arms. Is that like, I don't know what that is. Yeah. If it's like skin tingling, that could happen with Reta. They're off right now though. We're taking MOTC and SS 31. I dunno. It could be the Motsi.

1:47:33 People having like weird reactions of MotC. Using a 29 gauge half inch needles, I inject test in the thigh. Not sure if doing dead lifts contributed, but a pulled in top of my knee painful. Is it just the length of needle? I usually do glutes. I never inject into my thigh because weird stuff like that can happen. So that would be my recommendation. Yeah. And it was too late for that, But I would just not do it in future.

1:48:05 How people get HRT from their doctors, any advice, how it can help them get their doctor to prescribe desiccated thyroid. It seems they always want them to run labs and tell them they're fine and telling them, they don't need it. Find a new doctor, unfortunately, is like the only answer because most doctors just have their way of doing it and they are not going to change. Yeah. I would say the doc, the doctor doesn't allow a line with your viewpoints and find a doctor or go in with. Notes of why you want it, your case studies and your study references.

1:48:39 With the GHK serum that you use, do you think I'd have to worry about a histamine response into it, Taylor? I don't think so. We will not be at the biohacking conference. Unfortunately, we were there last year, but can't be there this year. It's just a private retreat for an HRT company during that weekend, unfortunately. Yeah. I feel bad, because I do feel like a lot of our followers Jardience for PCOS.

1:49:12 Yes, can be very beneficial. Along with metformin. Do GLPs cause insomnia? I just started with GOVI, 0.25 milligrams. I think it's raising my cortisol level and giving me insomniac. Yeah, that's pretty common. You will adopt and adjust to it over time, but it can definitely just because it is raising your metabolism. Think of like anytime you do something that raises your metabolism, stimulates your nervous system that can potentially interfere with sleep. Do you have a good protocol for cerebral isin? Men and women, 55, you're young, no major brain trauma. Do recommend stacking with Cortexin.

1:49:44 Sure, You could stack up Cortextin, I don't think you need to, but if you were using lyophilized cerebral Isin I would just do 10 to 20 milligrams per day, five days on, two days off for eight weeks. If you are getting the ampoules of cerebral, Isine you could do like one ml to five ml three times per week and get good results. The good thing is you can go to this website called Cerebrolyacin.com. That is the Eva Pharma, who is a manufacturer of cerebrolysin, that is their website for cerebrolysin. You just click on I'm a practitioner and just say, yes, I am a practitioners and it will show you how to use cerebolysin and so you have all of the prescribing

1:50:18 information for Cervolycin. Which a lot of times is not what the normal person actually needs because it's designed for stroke and brain trauma. Also mentioned, I eat 130 grams of protein, carbs, 150 to 175 fat, 60 to 75 started it, but three weeks ago, 10 units at night, five days off. It's a good ratio. Um, no, they're, there were the ones asking about fat loss. They wanted to teach spin class. I would actually cut those. Probably need, would cut. Those fats down to 50. Yeah.

1:50:50 For fat laws and probably for fat law, as I'd cut, those down two 50, um, See how you do with that. If not, maybe up the carbs or at the protein. I mean, a little bit getting surgery for a torn rotator cuff on the 28th of this month. What kind of protocol with BPCTB would you recommend following 500 micrograms a day of each? Yeah. Potentially two times per day. Yeah, if you wanted to see, I told you Robert says I put, put your videos on a night to go to sleep.

1:51:22 Thank you. There you go. Best peptide for sleep, turn on my videos. My son is 15 year old and his X-ray growth plates are almost closed. I wanted to stimulate growth before they closed, doctors in Brazil use HGH with teens. What do you think of MK777 in or GH peptides? Um, no comment because I'm not going to talk about teens, but you could probably, if you asked yourself, what would we say, would you say? And that will probably lead you to where you want to be.

1:51:57 This guy says, yeah, check out like Freeman four hours plus. It's true. Boring, but so interesting. Wife gets mad when I put it on. Yeah. My wife gets when my videos on too. Oh, well, I don't like when you put like the, like our videos on that we do together when I didn't want to hear myself Taylor doesn't. Like, no one likes it. I do hear. Myself. Cause I edit my own other, my old YouTube videos, but like I, yeah, Like I. Don't wanna listen to, especially if we're in the car.

1:52:30 Well, to me, listening to my stuff is like watching film. Like I'm going back to critica to make it better. I know. Not listening. Oh, let's learn. Let's talk about this today. We've already talked about it. Yeah. No, I actually don't like listening to my voice either, but it's also like I'm, um, going back to the, the same way as like an athlete that I watch films like, Oh, too many of this to level of, this, how to improve it.

1:53:00 I do that too. Like to know like what I need to. Yeah, They used 15 milligrams of melatonin two in two months time. White skin darkened nicely, but moles all over the body also darken. Now, months later, tan is gone but most are dark. Not pretty, especially on face. How to fix? You could try glutathione and see if that helps lighten it up. That would be like the only thing. Yeah. And then as far as like the face, I would do, um, that skate that same skin brightening serum that I talked about.

1:53:33 I will do the GHK one. Then I'd also follow it up with the better sin science, the intense bright or elastin, Um, skin, bright. Cream with it for the phase, but I think injecting glutathione three times a week will help with skin. Brightening all over. So. I do feel like that's more of a, I mean, you can get it with Milante and one in the darkening, but I think you get the darker moles more dominant with two versus one.

1:54:04 If SS 31 and TB 500 was left at room temperature for two days, are they still good? Probably. There's probably a little bit of degradation, But I would still use it. I personally would. Yeah, Reda for Raynaud's works good too. Mon 300 milligrams compounded progesterone and Leo and Levo for thyroid pellets for testosterone, not optimally getting there. Yeah. Well, that's where I would throw the pellet, the pallets and in the trash. This is going to make a big difference with that and carrying the weight in that midsection and trying to get that body fat percentage down.

1:54:39 I wouldn't get rid of the Pellets. Um, And I would switch to injectable testosterone. I'd give that at least a good three months before deciding whether you need to introduce estradiol back in. Can't remember if you said she was post-menopausal. So you're perimenopause. Chances are if start using injectible testosterone, you probably don't need the estrogen yet in some cases.

1:55:12 So I would do that for at least a good three months prior to even putting any estrogen in. You do not want to start all of them all at once like that. Um, I honestly think if you did that, you switched that hormone, those hormones up like, that that weight that you're trying to lose will come off. What dose of SLU would you suggest for someone who runs 50 km? Oh, 50 kilometer, a hundred kilometer runs. 500 micrograms, 750 micro grams.

1:55:44 I don't know that going that much higher is going to be beneficial because you're going create a lot of oxidative stress from working that far. You're gonna get burnt out. Oh, that's a long way to run. down 60 pounds on Reddit and TRT, do you recommend doing glutathione and NAD plus after a big weight loss? Yeah, you could definitely glutothione. Yeah. N.A.D. I would use it as needed. You feel like your energy is pretty low, but I wouldn't want to use, I won't say like do it all the time.

1:56:14 And you're welcome. What are your thoughts on ARE-290? How do you recommend BPC-157 and TB 500? I love ARE 290. You can use it with BTC and TP 500. It's great, especially for people with neuropathy, nerve pain, sciatica, ARE2 90, in addition to those work great. See, Maria said it too. She's been having my son's file for school. They keep getting corrupted in the cloud and USB every time. Messing with us. 0.25 milligrams of red up per week has virtually signs of my histamine overload response respond well to the microdose.

1:56:47 There you go. That's the benefit. People are like, oh, micro-dosing is so stupid. Not for reasons such as that. Hunter, who's your guest? This is my wife, Taylor. I taught him everything. Taylor, she taught me everything I know. She also makes my food. Yes. His personal chef is really what is who I am. Basically my servants. People get mad if I say that. Yeah, people are going to get bad.

1:57:18 There's not my servant for the record. No, I don't know what I think she wants to be. See that I like being your server psychology. Like he pretty good. Pretty good, pretty. Good. She's pretty, good wife. pretty Good, hard to beat. Yeah. Kelly says, uh, AG one's the biggest scam. They paid any influencer to probably got disrupting ingredients. Oh yeah. And think about the, like the harsh, heavy metals in that too. From all like, the green stuff.

1:57:49 The greens. My experience with or for Glee prawn is like 12 to 18 milligrams first thing in the morning. And I would just use that as needed. It's pretty good. I said, it's not, I don't think that fat loss is as good as, but you definitely get appetite suppression. There is fat laws, Think you think I remember you saying all or all saying if a woman has never done GLP you recommend starting with tours dose now often.

1:58:27 Yeah, I think so. I mean, i just think it's going to be less overwhelming if A woman's never Done it. Especially if they if their nervous system is already like If you already have like high stress levels, your nervous system, the reason why I think is like a rudda can increase her rate. And I can stress a woman out even more, especially if they track everything. I would say if your system is a little bit more fragile, I will do first. Do you have any advice for post-menopausal women that is hypothyroid and wants to change to injectable TRT instead of pellets,

1:59:02 dosages and allowable levels? I mean, I would just dump the pellets that would start with like two to three milligrams, three times per week of testosterone postmenopausal, you're probably going to go up. So you'll probably land in like the 10 to 15 milligrams per weak range. How long would you wait? After the pallets, after the Pellets are removed. I wouldn't wait. Yeah. Yep. And just start there and then get this kid at thyroid. You should be good to If I start test Primo and Anabar and combined with peptides, can I get off the test, Prima, et cetera,

1:59:45 after one cycle? Good. Do I have to stay on TRT over 50? Never took TRTs. I mean, I would just say you want to stand on Trt just because everything's going to be better. Yeah. You don't have to do anything. Well, okay. You definitely want to stay on TRT when you are using any kind of anabolic because it will, the anabolics, yes, it'll give you, that's going to suppress. It's gonna suppress your natural production. So you'll feel good on antibiotics without TRD, but you're actually doing yourself more damage in the long run because going suppress you were natural

2:00:20 testosterone production? Yeah. Yes, Kimberly, send me an email. I can help you with the injectable testosterone for women. There's plenty out there. Just got to know where to go. My doctor took me off HRT until test results because an unfounded scare cancer. Can I use kids' peptin as a substitute? I mean, you could, it's just not going to really do anything. Yeah.

2:00:51 This is generally frowned upon, but can you put KPV and cartilax in the same surrender? I'm currently taking both. I have and have, it's worked great. So anecdotally speaking, yes, that I haven't tested those. Haven't got the third party verified test, just got that real world test. But it is all placebo effect anyway, so who cares? 45 year old male just ran a cycle of Tessa Ipah blend and IGF was 373 at the end of the 10 weeks. Any benefit to one to two IUs of GH in the future versus going back to Tess Ipa also on a hundred milligrams of tests per week.

2:01:24 Yeah, I prefer the HGH is always the long-term solution. the test of Ipoh will never be the long-term for life, everyday solution. So that would be, but it's not bad to use those. And obviously like it gets your IGF high clearly. It's fine, there's always a benefit to HGH in my opinion at that dose. Yeah. PE 2228, nasal, big help with mood.

2:01:54 That's what it does. 47 year old female on five weeks tests. I think I'm switching to one IU of HGH, but starting to see results with Tessa. What results stall if I switch now? No, I don't think they'll stall, But I Don't see any reason that you can't continue to use that. Like don' get FOMO just because you hear me say HGH is better. Yeah. Just continue and keep getting the results you like. And then you feel like you're stalling out to switch over and then switch back and switch it back. About testosterone cream for women.

2:02:24 Terrible. I mean, if you like it, it's good. Have you seen any studies if PNC-27 can be ran as a proactive protocol, whether is one aware of any active C or not? No, there are no human studies that I could ever find and I've looked high and low for PnC 27. But I don't see any downside to taking it proactively, but I know that it would also do anything. either because it's basically like a seek and destroy tumor. Yeah. Like that's how it works.

2:02:55 So I don't know. I've heard stories of people experimenting with their, they know somebody who experimented with it and it helped. But again, it was all just, but not proactively, like if you're worried, how would you know if he didn't have tumors? It's like, Oh, that worked. It was like well, out, you know. Yeah. That's true. I'm not saying it against it. No, that's just true, I didn't, it wasn't fully, didn' I missed the proactive part, sorry. Peptides for hair growth.

2:03:26 Deskate thyroid, not a peptide, but GHK, GH K will help. And I think for actual hair, growth of the scalp, still think the skate thyroid is going to be better. Training for my first high rocks competition at age of 50. Good for you. From what I understand, it's all about endurance. Curly taking PPC, TB 500, CJC, IPA, and RETTA. The endurance peptides. Oh, sorry. Any endurance, peptide I would recommend.

2:03:56 Carderine would be great. SLU PP 332 would great, so you throw those two in there and you'll beat everyone in the high-rocks. That sounds like my worst nightmare high rock. It's like, you're gonna do it one day. Don't lie. I know. You and Jen are going to start a high rocks team. Jen can go and do and I will be cheering my two favorite humans. It was like both my soulmates just want me to do a High Rock with them.

2:04:31 I just have a desire. I don't really compete in physical sports anymore, but I, just, it's just built into you. Like from the moment you're, cause you guys were both like athletes. Yeah. Just is what you want to do. You're always just thinking like, how can I win? How can win one win. Rather do a strong man competition than a high rock. Anything you have to run. Best time and duration for fasting for a woman during her cycle. I'd say not to fast.

2:05:03 During the cycle, you don't want to fast during the lutear phase of the menstrual cycle because that's like when the PMS phase happens. So that the phase where it's either your body's preparing for pregnancy or your bodies preparing to get its menstruation cycle. You don' want too fasts during that time frame. Just any time after ovulation and ludeo phase happen, so you dont' wanna fast. A lot of women feel great, us honestly, like while they're like actually menstruating too fast during that time.

2:05:38 Yeah. Do you see any positive results with AOD? I'm trying, instead of Tessa, so I don't raise IGF-1 with polycystic kidneys. Honestly, not really. The only results I see is if it's with a GLP and with growth hormone peptide. So you could try, but I just don' How do you reconstitute peptides like clode that have three different peptide shrinks? When all else fails, add two MLs and take 10 units.

2:06:09 No, but all seriousness on the peptid cheat sheet. I have instructions for that. Yeah. And I think this is getting to the end. Can I clarify what I meant by it's all placebo effect after answering the Carlyx and KPV question? Yes, it was a joke. It's so that is what. I remember there's. All different levels of people. So I apologize. That was. A joke when I said it. Because we were talking earlier about the people that say like peptides don't work or that peptide are dangerous.

2:06:40 Like it just all like there are several people they just say peptids are strictly placebo effects. There's no benefit because we don. And so I. Apologize that was joke of sarcasm. They are not placebo effect. In my opinion, I've seen nothing short of miraculous from cartilax and KPV in my own life. So anyway, but I think that's it. And we are right at two hours.

2:07:10 We're right at two hours. So thank you guys. This was a lovely, lively one this morning. Really enjoyed it. Definitely made my day better. And I always leave these more energized than when I got here. Thank you, guys, so much. Do we have any housekeeping stuff? I don't think we Just go forth, Carpe Diem. Yeah, this is a great one. Hopefully I did my best to talk into my microphone. So I guess I'll hear, hopefully this came through, Hopefully the quality was good. I was also recording it locally.

2:07:41 If it wasn't, I'd be able to go back and tune out the audio and video a little bit. Anyway, thank you guys so much. We will be around. Are we going to be back next week? Maybe, maybe not. See how we feel? We're trying to do them at least every other Saturday. Yeah, we'll probably do is go back and forth because we did like the reader mailbag to like we're pre recording questions that we get. The reason I like that is because like I don't want to spend like 30 minutes on one question, although I know that when the rabbit holes on these, I want spend, like, 30 Minutes or 20 minutes. I'm one questions where those I can handpick all the questions we could send and say like okay, when I do these five taking like an hour and break down

2:08:16 each one, you know, for 10 or 15 minutes, however long we need to. So that'll be the plan. Maybe we will film one of those this week. Publish that and then two weeks back, at least for like the next month and a half, we don't have to travel. So that's it for this one. Thank you guys. As always, We love you, guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us. Like I mean it when I say it's a dream come true. And the fact that you support us is nothing short of miraculous to put myself two minutes ago. But thank You guys so it really means a lot that we get to do this. Hopefully these are valuable and we always look forward to the feedback, good or bad on these and how it is helping you.

2:08:50 Keep on, keep it on. keep on doing your thing. and go enjoy the weekend and we will see you next time. Bye guys.
