Saturday Morning Coffee Talk 5/16/26

0:04 And we are live. Good morning, everyone. Saturday morning everybody. Um, as always, just to get it out of the way. I know it's annoying. If you could let us know if you hear and see us. Okay. That would be helpful. Just so I make sure I am not talking into the wind. And there's a little delay, but it looks like we've got some people coming on.

0:41 And we'll just let the couple of people in the comments, let us know we look okay, sound okay. Todd says there's an echo. Well, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try to fix it. Echo cancellation on. Is it on my end? Let's see. Then someone else says no echo.

1:13 Yeah. If you guys could just let us know if there's an echo on the mics. Still, still, uh, trying to make sure the tech piece is good. I don't think it's ever, okay. So maybe that goes on. Okay. Wonderful. Think there's never going to be like perfect, perfect tech sounds camera. Not with us. No. The interesting piece of that is that I am a tech person, but I'm not a media tech.

1:46 Yeah. Like I'm really good with computers, but not in the sense of media stuff. Yeah, like I've terrible with video editing, terrible at sound, terribly with camera equipment. I feel like the opposite. You're really with like photography, camera, equipment, lighting, stuff like that. But like, I was a computer nerd. So like I'm not a coder, but I love doing stuff with computers in that sense. It's kind of cool now with all of these AI tools that we have that you can basically just like manifest code at will when a before like you have to,

2:19 you would have, to learn how to write code and stuff. But yeah, I am a computer person, But I've not, a video audio tech person by any means. It's funny just how different people's brains were definitely not a photo editor. Definitely, definitely. Not a thumbnail editor whatsoever at all. That's like the dread of my existence is having to do artwork. You know, Taylor's been really into painting recently and I love that she's into that because for me, I just, my brain cannot function in that way.

2:56 And so visual art is definitely one of weak suits when it comes to. It's not that I'm not interested in it, but it's just, you know. Yeah. I appreciate that you act interested for me, but I actually like that you're not into it because it's something that we that like, it, It's my own thing. Yeah. I feel like I don't have to like not compete, like compete with you, But it like keeping up with like it. So one thing is like my separate thing that I have.

3:27 To keep up. With you with words and like this is a very similar thing we have in common. And I'm never going to be as good as you and well, in some aspects, I don't think it's even about being like good, bad, better, worse. It's just different passions. I am passionate about what I would like, what most people consider like boring stuff. Whereas you have much more passionate around art stuff and that's not how my brain works in the visual art. Stuff. Yeah.

3:58 musical type stuff because it's more math related if there was like one thing and actually took acting classes in college and I found that because I was always really shy and the acting class has helped me like understand how to communicate more effectively and like I understand a process what it was to like speak clearly because they used to mumble when I how to like control your body more. And I knew like in business, even at that age, like hopefully in a business one day, I needed to have more body presence control and understanding of how

4:29 communicate better. So that helped me a lot. Anyway, no, that's not what we got to talk about our personal problems this morning. But anyway, I'll just give an update. Taylor and I have been doing the Maz Dutide experiment. It seems to be going really well so far. I started off last week with one milligram. And I just took one milligrams once because I wanted to see how I felt over a seven-day period. And then this week I did 1.5 milligrams once, and I just wanted to see how I felt over a seven day period. And that seems to work really well.

5:00 I feel, I mean, wasn't, like trying to lose weight when I started it, but I fell a lot of the benefits of Reddit True Tide, maybe just not as strong as Reddit true tide for the same dose. What do you think? I've well I been on it longer than you have. So I started it like I'm on week five with it. And I would say like, the first week, I took one milligram second week I did two milligrams basically for three weeks, I did two milligrams split dosing,

5:36 one milligram on Monday, another milligram, on Thursday. Now I'm just going back down to one milligrams. A couple reasons why the The GLP is a lot stronger. Well, the glucagon and the GLPs is stronger in it because you're not competing with three receptors. It's just two receptors and I feel like the gastric emptying is lot. Stronger in the sense of like, you get full really quick, like to the point, I can feel food sitting.

6:10 Yeah. in the middle of my rib cage. And two milligrams is too strong in a sense of like, I really could not get enough protein, and which is like probably the only time like We bicker is about me getting into a protein and when I'm on it, because it's like, it' not good. You need to be able to get enough protein in. Um, do I, I love the results that I m getting with it. Obviously everybody knows your fertility is a big thing for us right now.

6:41 So like I can't get too low in my body fat percentage, but it is really nice getting the extra body, fat, getting that extra water retention off because I was not feeling good about myself. Like, at all, like five weeks ago. Yeah. Um, which happens. I mean, again, coming off of a bulking cycle, not being able to lean out a lot, but I think in the sense of like, I like it better right now than Vretta. Because I feel like sometimes with Reda after being on it for so long sometimes you can I personally find myself kind of getting that like burnout feeling

7:22 like how you get when you take too much sleep after a period of time, or sometimes. There's been times where I felt emotionally flat on Reda after being on it for so long. So I feel like right now I'm not feeling that way. I am only again, five weeks in, but what I do like about it is that I. Feel like after one week of being. On it, it feels like read a true tide after like, four weeks of being on Reda.

7:53 And the sense that it feels like it works a lot quicker. You don't have that buildup. Whereas for some people, Redah feels it can kind of trigger increase in hunger. Like you don t feel that. you feel the noise and the food cancellation noise very quickly. Um, you get very quick, like fullness with food a little bit faster. So, um, as of right now, I like, Inflammation-wise, I'm just going over all the things of what people will say. I think inflammation- wise, it is keeping my inflammation down lower.

8:27 Do I, think, inflammation wise? I still think triseptide is going to be better. for an inflammation standpoint with when we look at all of the GLPs, peptides, I do think triseptide probably is a little bit better for inflammation. One thing I like about it too, is that you don't get the increase in heart rate. I'm not experiencing that with it. And I think that's, this is like also too I want to talk about this because I feel like it's been, talked about and asked a lot about is that I think sometimes

9:00 when we talk about the increase in heart rate with Reta-Trutide is a that a lotta times they think it's more so just being blamed fully on just the glucagon receptor being activated. Whereas in after, you know, we talked a bout this a lots this week, just cause so many people were asking questions about this is I don't, necessarily think it's necessarily just the glucagon. It's adding glucagon, G-I-P, GLP. Adding all three receptors in there is where I think the increase in heart rate gets triggered.

9:35 Yeah. And how you kind of broke it down and explained it is like, okay, we know a ham sandwich isn't the best for you. Okay. Ham and turkey, you're adding more. That's good. But it still not the Ham, turkey and roast beef. That's a lot. And you can work more calories in the sense. So it's just like, sometimes you got to like don't just blame it on the glucose. Yeah, I think that's what's interesting is like, do we know that the glucagon specifically is what is causing the heart rate increase?

10:06 Or is it the fact that there's three receptors? It's like does, what we're talking about is, is a ham and turkey sandwich, how much does that make you gain weight? Is a Ham and Roast Beef sandwich? How much is that making you gained weight and how does a hame turkey and roast beef? Well, obviously if you have all three, there is going to be more weight because there are more calories on it. And I, think when we talk about RETTA, there's more there, thus the heart rate increase, because the reason I deduced that, or just this is complete speculation, is that with Masdutide, the increase in heartrate, I think when I looked it up, it was on average like two to five

10:44 beats per minute. So the increasing heartate on Masduetide is very similar to the increases in the heartbeat on Tert's Appetite. Whereas like red at true tide is guaranteed five to 10 beats and on average, like seven per minute increase. And so it would seem that the glucagon agitatives is not what is putting the heart rate through the roof. It's just the fact that there's more receptors being hit, more stimulation, and then more heart-rate increase, but if you remove the GIP, which is what Masdutide does, it's actually just pretty similar to Terzapetide.

11:17 The benefit I think that Masdytide presents is that you get the glucagon agonism, which removes liver fat and raises your metabolism more than GIP aganism does. And so you're getting the GLP for the appetite suppression, and you are getting glucogon for liver-fat burning, whereas the G.I.P. Now, I thing Terzapeitide is still very effective at what it does, but it's an interesting experiment to play out. I will say, I feel really good on it. Get the appetite suppression that I do.

11:47 You know what you said? It, and according to published literature, it looks like the GLP and the glucagon agonism out of Mazdootide is equivalent to each other. And so let's just say this is the easy way to simplify that. If you're taking two milligrams a week, that's one milligram of GLPs, like one milligrams of semaglutide and one kilogram of glucogon aganism. one milligram of semaglutide is a lot, like that's a whole lot to do. And if you think about that proportionally, you would have to take five milligrams of RETA to get that amount of GLP agonism,

12:20 because it's about 20% of RETA from what I could estimate is the GLPs aganism. So on Masutite, You're getting a more appetite suppression at a lower dose. I would extrapolate, and again, this is just me speculating, that Two milligrams of Mazdootide is about the same as five milligrams or red true tide, because there's about 60% GIP, which would be the other three milligrams that you're pulling out. And so at a lower dose of mazdootaide, you are getting what I would think would like equivalent like fat burning effects.

12:55 and appetite suppression effects without having to go to that high dose. And I think a lot of people see the, the appetite increase from reddit and like that two to four milligram range, which again, I don't think it's from the glucagon. I that's the increase in metabolic rate, caloric deficit, and then the ghrelin signaling that is coming as a result. You're messing with ghrelin and leptin because you're inducing this huge calorie deficit which is then a byproduct causing the appetites or the apatite increase, Which is not being overcome with the GLP. Cause there's not enough of the G L P to do that. So I thinks that what Matt is probably skirting around But anyway, to all the people that we're asking, we were talking about Matt's new type.

13:27 We're just playing around with it to see how it compares to Reda. I think eventually, like you can see this in the data, the fat loss is going to be better with Redo. No hands down. But the question is- Why is that going better? Is it because you still have the GIP in there? Yeah. Because it's more. More. Basically. So you're getting more aggressive with. So I think the question is, is Masutide the leaner person's solution? That's like kind of what I'm thinking is like, maybe it's not, but yeah, I, think it could be interesting, a thought experiment to see.

13:57 I don't know. Maybe this is just me, like I also just think as good as just like do a rotation of like all the different GLPs, doing rotation with Trisaptide, Doing rotation, with Masuitide doing a notation with Reta, even semiglutite, if that works for you, keep doing like a cycle rotation of these and changing it up. I don't know. It's just- Well, to your point about it working really fast, the question is, does it work faster or are you just more sensitive? Or is it just because I haven't taken it?

14:27 Yeah, you're more to it. But to the point, it's like, I've always thought about that. Like how much more does the sensitivity- I did take only, like I think I was only off Retta two weeks prior to going on to Masutide. Yeah. So I mean, I was off for like five or six weeks. You were off longer. Yeah. And it worked right, right away. But, um, yeah, very interesting. We will continue to play that out. I will say just like people talk about like cycle updates. Uh, the only other thing for me, so I did a cycle of human and I really liked that.

15:00 Definitely noticed like human is a mitochondrial peptide, a little bit more neuroprotective than SS 31 or Matzi. Um, fat loss, even though it probably improves insulin, since I know it improves, insulin sensitivity, but definitely I would say more stable mood on human. Not that my mood wasn't stable. We just feel very, feel, very calm and collected when doing, when human and yeah, I did a bottle of human, and I went back to SS 31 and have been doing

15:32 SS 30 one this week. And I re added cause I hadn't been strict with my carbon 60. something about the antioxidant effect of the SS 31 plus the carbon 60 is really good. I've just felt really, good this week. And I was telling you this morning, my digestion has been really and I think that's interesting because typically with a GLP, you're going to get the slowing of gastric emptying, which can cause constipation, diarrhea a little bit. and i didn't have that at all with that.

16:02 Yeah, maybe cause I've only been on to a week and a half now. Cause I feel like I had more issues this week with digestion. Well, you've had the typical GLP stool, just more runny stool a little bit more constipation, a bit of gas, which is comes with the territory when you're first starting, but I haven't had that. And I wonder how much, because I know that SS 31 is always done very well for my digestion and also the carbon 62, uh, Just helping with gut motility, everything there. So again, I don't know, maybe it's just my own personal experience or whatever, Something to think about.

16:35 I think that's just a really good like feel good stack. If you have SS 31 and then the carbon 60. Yeah. It's always helpful as well. And I just gotten away from taking it because that one of those things like I run out and I'm like, do I really need to order more? And then, you know, your kind of like, whatever. And I got some more and I was like okay, this is good. Then we've been using the Carbon 60. Vape pen is probably the wrong word, but it's a little inhaler with Carbon-60 and that works good too.

17:05 But anyway, that is life updates from us. Everything is going really well. So thank you guys for being on and we will get to the questions now. I will make sure I share them on the screen because I always forget. So Evelyn says, please give a general discussion on HGH specifically for women. I am 56 years old and would like to start. And I have no insulin issues, lifted heavy since I was 18, eat super clean, I'm on HRT. Well, to me, it sounds like you are the perfect candidate for HGH. Here's the thing we get asked a lot is like, should I use an HTH peptide or should use HCH?

17:38 I'll always tell someone that it's better to do an HDH peptides first and see how your body responds. But I will say for someone, that's 56, What I view HGH as is part of the HRT at a replacement dose. And so the issue with HTH is that people that do super physiologic doses, there could be a blowback to that. But for someone like Evelyn that wants to do one or two IUs, I would start at one IU. That could do really well for them. I think she's going to respond better to the HCH.

18:11 Yeah. What would you say what you've seen for women I guess what age do you think it becomes? I mean, obviously we do HDH and we're in our thirties, but I would, I wouldn't say that for me doing a GH peptide is not too different from doing HGH. I think HH is better. Yeah. Think in your thirtees, you respond better to the peptides or someone in their fifties. They don't respond as well to peptids as they do the actual bioidentical.

18:41 It's cause your, your growth hormone levels have, gone down. Like if you, I mean, your growth hormone levels start depleting after the age of 30. So if look at somebody in their thirties versus someone in there fifties, like they're going to have a lot less natural production. And then I think about it in the sense of like, when you think it like okay, let's take, it's very similar to like taking a woman who is post menopausal in her sixties starting hormone replacement therapy. It's a shocking to the system.

19:11 So I think that like sometimes like the growth hormone peptides sometimes don't do as well for those people because they've been depleted for so long. I think it comes back to even beyond that, it's how well the whole entire system works, pituitary access and everything there. So for instance, for someone like me, I do way better on HGH just because I know my pitutary axis has been impaired from lots of concussions.

19:41 And I think for people that have had concussions, it's much better for them to do HGH. It's not that I don't feel GH peptides, but for me, like human growth hormone was such a life changer. Because when I would get my IGF done prior to human-growth hormone, It would be like in the 120-ish, which is pretty low. And. two I use of HGH usually puts me like 280 to 300, which is like, I feel really good there. And again, IGF is not the best proxy. Like testosterone would be for our testosterone levels, reproductive health.

20:12 But anyway, um, anyway. I just think it's one of those things is someone like Evelyn is the perfect candidate eats clean. The person that would not be a perfect Canada is look, if you're going to not do all those. Things I don't think GH is really going be that big of a difference maker in your life. The way that it would for someone that is doing everything right. For someone who is healthy and then they put in HEH, those are the people that are actually like, man, I feel so much better because the sleep is better, the recovery is This is actually a good question.

20:44 And I promise this was not a plant from the audience. Rook says, if I joined Accion, what type of access do I get? I'd be more than happy to give you a breakdown. Here's what it is. I want people to be very understanding of like what is and what, it's not. So if you join the community we have, It is not one-on-one coaching with me or one on one coaching, with Taylor is, not that. What it is though, is you can message me anytime. And people send me from pretty long messages, they send their blood work, and I'm more than happy to respond via message in that group.

21:17 So for all the people that send questions, I will respond to random emails sometimes, but I won't give you a recommendation or a comprehensive answer. I'll just say, hey, this is the direction you want to go. For people in the group, if you send a message, i will give a very thorough response. What I will not do is you come in and say, Hey, I've got these 10 issues, build a plan for me. That's not what it is. It's. Not like me just taking you and handholding you in saying like, he, you have all these issues.

21:47 Do this. Is like. Hey. I have a specific question about this, should I use this? Should I. Use this here's my blood work. What do you think about that? So it's much more of that. it. s not me doing one-on-one coaching. t's, not. Me building custom plans for you. so that's what, it s. not, but what is, is I can respond to you, and then even beyond that, asking questions in the group because there's over 220 people in there. A lot of those people are health coaches and know a lot about peptides and so you can ask questions on the forum and then you get a response always usually from me or Taylor and the other people.

22:19 Sometimes the responses are so good from the people on that group I don't even have to respond. But that's what it is. And then in terms of the zoom call, we do a live zoom Call every Thursday night at 8pm Eastern. So you can come on that we typically have like 20 to 30 people that are on live. What I do is I Do a presentation of a topic. This week's topic that We did this past Thursday was on how to read And so we're doing a monthly series of how to read blood panels. And I went over the metabolic panel. So I understood, like we went through fasting glucose, fasting insulin, H1C or HbA1c, kidney panel and electrolytes and all those things.

22:58 We looked at that, understood what was the normal versus the optimal. Then we did like 45 minutes of Q&A where people could ask questions about that or they could asked questions anything else. Like, hey, I've got this problem with testosterone or peptide or whatever. And so that's the coaching call. And then once a month, on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern, we do a men's call and a women's calls. So Taylor and her co-host, Jen, do women call where it's just the women and it is not recorded, it just live. I do call that is just a man and we talk about things that they may not want to talk them out on the coed call, and so, that what it.

23:34 You can ask questions on a call you can obviously watch the recording. We have a library with all the recordings and now there's probably Uh, since we've been doing it, like 20 or 30 recordings that have teaching modules on there. And so you can go back and look at those. You can access all the slides. Um, you get access also to all of the sides that I have in my videos. So I. Private, uh, password protected folder. that you can go and look at all the slides of my videos. So I promise this wasn't a plant question. I'm not trying to promote this, but yes, if you have three questions that, you just need to ask me, You can join and do that.

24:09 It's $99 a month. There are no refunds. Like a lot of people will join it and be like, Oh, this is what it is. Well, there's no refunds if he joins. If you join for the $90 and some people they joined for $9, they want to me questions and they quit them. I mean, I would not recommend that, but some people do that just because that's what they want to do. So, um, anyway, that that what it is. And it's very high vibe. It's not like I, it not about me running the group or Taylor running. The group it, flat of a hierarchy for like, like-minded people to come together.

24:42 Like we don't post anything about our personal lives on there. No, private social media account. Um, yeah. I'm not posting like a, an article every day in there. So some people are like, oh, there's not enough content. I mean, I think also too, we do little things a little bit different. Like for me, a lot of the women that message me a lotta times I'm like reviewing their own peptide plans and protocols they come up with and I review them. If they send it to me I will review it. tell them what to change. Um, and then also I do a lot of more of like helping women communicating with their doctors for HRT or just be HR T all hormone replacement therapy and

25:22 reading over their blood work and how to Teach them to communicate with their doctors. Yeah, I probably should just list out the top I think if people even knew the topics of the calls we cover that would encourage them and join because One like right now we're doing a blood work panel series. So every month we were doing that like specific part of bloodwork so by the end of that what I'm gonna do is compile that all into a module to like where you can have a PowerPoint slide deck to look at blood work and then also the videos to like understand how to Look at Blood Work.

25:53 And so it's basically like an ongoing course is how I think the best way to think of it is like every week there's a new updated info that we have in there. It's across all topics, hormones, peptides, blood, work, and stuff like that. But I think the best part I know for me is just the community because it has like-minded people and I would like to think it's very a very flat Hierarchy like I'm not in there to like try to get people to worship me or like pay me money for anything else I I do my best in terms of like the social media world

26:26 to have it as like, I just a dude I Just talk about this stuff. I help people with it. And that's what I like do It's not about like coming in their My mission in that is to never sell anything because people are paying $99 a month. I'm not trying to sell. Anything else in my group. People ask for different sources for peptides. Now I don't want people coming in and spamming the group and being like, Hey, go buy peptide for me or whatever. So I'll stop that, but I, I. Don't care. It's not, not anything like that. There's some very highly intelligent people.

26:56 Like I've learned a lot just from the other people in the group. Yeah. Even, even Jen Seeger, our co-host, she's been on the coffee talks. She's like our medical advisory. Basically, because she has been a nurse for 30 plus years and has tons of experience from a clinical side, but is also someone that understands peptides at a very high level. She has her doctor's and she's taught. Yeah, she has a PhD in nursing. A lot of the stuff that when it comes to, I know a lot about peptide hormones, but when I come to other stuff, like I'm upfront with people,

27:29 and I don't know everything, like, I don't know how to coach a pregnant woman or help someone with certain things, especially on the female side. And that's what's great is we have schools having Jen is that like she can teach, like when we tell her, when me and Hunter don t know the answer, Jen already knows the ans r. It's just cool when she does teach because she c n teach things at such like a like a, again, a PhD level that's just so,

28:02 she's a very good teacher. She's very teacher, so. All right. Onto the next one. Sorry, that was a loaded question, but I do. I think it was important because I don't really talk about that that much. Like I never write an email or like either just say, Hey, join it. But I know that's a thing because a lot of people like one-on-one hand holding. And I really do that anymore for people just because my main mission is to create content that helps more people rather than just working one on one with people.

28:33 What's up, Jim, always a loyal listener. Jim hope you're doing well. I'm Jim from Chicago. He says, if you could only choose five exercises to do for the rest of your life, what are the exercises and why different grips or stances count in the same exercise and not multiple exercises? Well, that's a really good question. It's interesting though, because I think all of the training that we do probably stems from about five exercise. If I. Think about it. Yeah. And so what I do, so here's just an example of our training split for this week. is we've been doing more splits recently and so Monday we did glutes and hamstrings and what I would say for that is a pulling motion so a deadlift or

29:13 an RDL. I guess an RDL would be a variation of a Deadlift. And so I would say a deadlift pull. What I say is probably to the five exercise question without going too much detail. I just want to blah, blah blah. A leg pull and a leg push, an upper body pull, and an would be four. And so a leg pull would, be a deadlift. A leg push would. Be a squat. Okay. So variations off of all of those variations of a, dead lift variations.

29:44 I'll just name the five exercises. That's what I'm doing. Impatience. Geez. You got to ride on up this morning. Give me the ketones ketone. Zantia cream is the pre podcast try or stack for today. Uh, what seems to work well and coffee too, but, uh, to regroup. leg push which would be squat, leg pull which will be deadlift, upper body push, which could be a chest press of some form. Upper body pull, would would a pull up or a lat pull down or row.

30:17 And so I would say just like probably pull-up, a variation of a pulled up which can be lat pulled down, or whatever. Why you don't agree with that? And the last thing I think if there was a fifth one, I'd say a lot is based off of those, but maybe something more direct for the shoulders. And I would say probably a lateral raise because you're going to get pushing motion from the chest press, which would be a lie for front delts, like a lateral raise for side and the rear delt.

30:48 Cause so many people's rear Delts are underdeveloped. I think if you had those five movements, so deadlift squats, pull up or lap pull chest press or push up. That's based off of a pushup. And then a lateral raise would be my five. Okay. So I hadn't thought about that before. In that sense, you agree or disagree. I sense a rift. No, it was just like, he just went like wait, like I'm just sitting here thinking, I am like okay, front squats, a kickback or good morning.

31:21 Like I was thinking of like the actual exercise you just more in depth than what I was. Well, that's my weakness is I'd love to think about things in conceptual terms. And so I want people to walk away conceptually with like everything would be based off of those. So if you just build your workouts off those five things, I think it'll do well. But anyway. No one pays me for training advice, even though that's, it's funny how much we, I would say we know about training, but no, like no one really wants to hear it.

31:51 I guess there's so much out there. So much I don't have any unique information, in the training sphere. Well, you like helped my training a lot, although I didn't like training with you sometimes. He's not a patient teacher. I will tell you guys this right now. He is not, he gets very frustrated if I don't catch on very quickly to something new when it comes to lifting, like when he's lifting he is in the zone and it's like a hold. We train together and I love training together, but I was trained together when I know when i'm comfortable with all the movements.

32:27 But if it is something and when comes it to like correcting form, like you're, youre not like, yeah, your not patient when it comes to like detailing and like correcting like I'm like when you work out with a trainer, like them pushing on you a certain way or like adjusting you like your you're not patient when it comes to that. And I think it's because it like you are in the zone, like cause it messes up your pump when you working out.

32:57 Well, it was because I'm training as well versus if I was just teaching you, I would be a lot more patient. Like if wasn't actually working on, but I always like, Hey, we got to go cause stuff. No, that's fair. When I've specifically gone into a training session with you like Hey I am not caring about what I doing. I just going to train you on much more patience. That hasn't happened in a year. I think you did that when we first started dating. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We haven't done that in awhile. Granted, you're a pretty advanced trainee yourself, but what i would say is that, when it comes to training, I just have a little tolerance for for like,

33:40 I like want to get through it. Like I want it to be like hey, like we got to move on, we gotta move. If you have to like get held up with it, that's probably where I get annoyed and frustrated. I think too with you, Taylor doesn't like doing new stuff. And to me, there's not really that much new that you do from a training perspective. What I like to do is like, if you change up like a squat stance, to me, that's just like oh, you just move your feet and it like works a little bit differently on your glutes or quads. For Taylor, she completely loses all conception of what it means to Do a Squat when you Change a Little Thing.

34:15 Yeah, because it's like one little adjustment, like it I have such type hip flexors and like that causes knee pain. So it's like, that little type of like change can make like such a big difference in the sense of, like adding pain onto my body when I'm squatting. That's fair. I think though that's true, but even if it was like an upper body thing, when you, change, and this probably goes back to like you didn't start,

34:46 what age did you start lifting at? seriously. I started lifting in high school and then like seriously more so like in my 20s. Yeah. Serious to the point of like where I was serious. Like I starting lifting weights like religiously when I 12. And what the in that is not like better or worse. I went through, I was trained at a young age. And so my body consciousness around training, i can change like little things and have like a very good grasp on like how to do it,

35:17 how my bodies responding to it. I think that's what we talk about. But I also think too I danced growing up. So like my, if you think about like plie positions of like feet and the hips and everything, like that is a different stance when it comes to like, squatting, like mechanically in my brain, I still want my feet out in like a plie position. The point being is it's very hard to break training patterns that were imprinted in the youth.

35:49 And that's why they say like, you want kids to be good at a sport between like ages seven and 12. They have to play that sport because it was very rare that a kid after that age can actually grasp the movement patterns in that sports because your body becomes. What's funny is too is like there's actually, I don't know if there was like studies or they just looked at this like as an examination, So they took people in their thirties and forties that had played a sport. And when they like reintroduced them to the sport that they haven't played since college or whatever, they pick up the movement patterns like almost like right away. It's because there's a neuromuscular imprint at that young age of the sports movement patterning.

36:24 So like, whereas if I, with me for football, like if, I went and started training with footwork drills for a football right now, I would immediately, even though I haven't done that or don't do it on a regular basis, I'd immediately pick it back up and probably be like right there. Now, would that be the best thing for me? Obviously not. It wouldn't be smart to do. But maybe I should go put my point shoes on for this. See if I can probably can't stand this? Yeah. I think the larger point I was trying to make is that for, me because I started lifting at a very young age, it's so second nature to me.

36:56 And I have to remind myself that like people that haven' t had that experience, like for you, when you change a technique or do a new lift or something, there's a bigger learning curve versus someone that hasn't done that. So anyway, how do we get on that rabbit hole? Shannon says day three of PE 2228 at 250 micrograms getting great cognitive benefits. Probably going to do a three on four off with a feels. Yeah, that's what I, you know, Shannon, That's, what, I've found to be better too, instead of doing every day.

37:28 Now for someone with like severe depression, they probably would want to, do every, day at least for a couple of weeks. But I think for people that feel good, You just get like a nice mood boost cognitive pickup from it and you don't need to Do it every I think that can be a great peptide for women that struggle during their lupior phase of their menstrual cycle. We're just with anxiety in general. All right. Thank you guys for letting us know about the sound and that's annoying when we start. I was just going through those. Next question, once you do a round of epitalin, but just got SS 31, would it be better to do epitelin first and then SS31?

38:02 I don't think they're mutually exclusive, meaning I think you could do either of those. So, um, or I mean, both of them together. It didn't really matter which one's first, which ones after, and you can do definitely both those together just because they are so different from a pathway standpoint and a mechanism standpoint. Okay. Someone said we have echoes and then everyone else. So I'm going to go with the majority rules on that one that everyone.

38:33 I've just completed a 14-week cycle of red and stuck with a pretty low weekly dose between one and two milligrams. What benefit can I expect to see by running an eight- week cycle MOTC before cycling back on red? I don't know that you will see necessarily a fat loss for Motsy. I would say you just are going to have more energy. Yeah. More energy, better insulin. Well, I mean, red is really good for insulin sensitivity. too. You know, it's interesting. There's a lot of studies now coming out in rodents. I think more people are like looking at Matzi of being anti-cancer. So I'm not saying it heals cancer, but it creates a metal blocking environment in the body that's favorable to that.

39:06 And so, uh, yeah, Matzie, I mean, just more energy would probably be the biggest thing. Yeah. Probably bigger like performance enhancement too, when performing. Yeah. Uh, Dina, we kind of went through that. So I know she asked that before we talked about the growth hormone, about it being better or not. Yes. We're talking about Masutide. It's just a dual agonist, but it's a GLP and glucagon aganist. What type of sauna do we use?

39:37 I have a traditional sauna and I love that thing. It is awesome. it's a dry heat sauna. Gets up to like 180, 190. I Love it. Like a little three person one and we do it I am limiting my use as of now. And again, this is there's not sauna does initially kill your sperm, but it creates a hormetic effect where it does like temporarily suppress sperm function, and then you recover it pretty fast. But during times I'm killing important to us right now, I am limiting my sauna use around the window that I know is important for it,

40:11 which is kind of a bummer. I would much rather have a child than get to do my son every day, or at least have to temporarily sacrifice it. Here's a good question. Let me fix that. Doc says, I'm on 120 milligrams of test enanthate per week. I inject every other day. Three days post injection, my numbers were at 1,500 total and 450 free. And having sleep issues, you think cutting the dose in half is good? I mean, that wouldn't be the first thing that I do.

40:42 First thing I would do, a lot of guys don't realize on testosterone, especially if it's in the newer phases of using testosterone. You want to increase magnesium intake. And so like my magnesium intakes closer to like a gram to 1.5 grams total between like the electrolytes I drink and the magnesium supplementation I take at night. So that would be the first thing is because anytime you raise your testosterone you're going to deplete minerals at a faster rate. The next thing I would actually look at is pregnant alone. A lot of guys, some guys don't need pregnant, alone at all. And I've actually recently been injecting around, I'd say like 50 milligrams of pregnenolone per week.

41:19 That has massively helped my sleep. Not that I slept bad before. So I'll say you can get some pregnanolones, quick dissolve tabs. Neutropix Depot has a good formulation. I will try that first because a lot You dampen pregnenol and signaling upstream with exogenous testosterone, and that can help with sleep. So that would be the first thing rather than changing the dose. Yeah. A lot of people get the increase in heart rate on Reta. I'm wondering, I've heard, this is just a rumor.

41:50 That's actually what's delaying it from getting FDA approved because they've had issues with people having heart palpitations. Can you take methylene blue and test of things together? I would stay away from that because they're both, uh, psychoactive in the sense, cause methylenol blue is, um, MAOI inhibitor, testofensines and SNDRI. Um, so yeah, I wouldn't do those together. Just keep those apart if you're wanting to do them. I will just use one.

42:24 What are your thoughts on A-H-K-C-U as opposed to G-h-k-c-u? I think is what they meant to say. Herd is even more helpful for hair. Yes, it is much more specific to helping with hair, so I guess it's great now. What I just don't know is, is it better to inject sub-q? Definitely would try to microneedle the A.H.K. or use it in the serum instead of injecting subq. Any more thoughts? would use it just topically on the scalp.

42:56 Yeah. So I would just, I think the easiest way to do that is someone got a vial of it, just mix it with backwater. I don't agree with microneedling it in the Scalp. We talked about this. But like I just think you can cause micreneedle in this scalp is like the scalpel is so thin that you could also cause like Damage to the follicle of the scalp follicule. And I feel like if you do damage to that, that can actually cause the hair to not grow back.

43:28 Well, I guess what would be the best way then? Just put it on topically. Yeah, but what if people can't get it topicaly? What if they're buying it from a research company and it comes in a lyophilized bottle? There are serums out there. I'm just saying that's what most people are going to ask is, okay, I can't microneedle it. So how do I apply it topically? Well, how did I get it out of this lyophilized powder into a serum would be their next question.

43:59 I don't know. Go buy the serum. Jim says, what benefits have you experienced from journaling and do you change the questions up or stay with the same ones? I mean, for me, journalling, if I don't journal for the day, it feels like I didn't take a shower with my brain. So for my journailing is literally just to get all of the thoughts out of my And I would say benefit wise, it's really that. It's like a shower for my brain and it helps like clean the slate and get everything out.

44:32 Like it gets all like the stuff that feels like it is built up and like gets it on paper. And then question wise I don't really like prompt myself. I kind of just because I journal first thing in the morning, I kinda just like whatever I'm thinking about that day. So sometimes it's like, hey, I had a bad day the day before. What are the lessons from that? Sometimes like man, just so grateful for my life. This is amazing. Like I'm so great for everything I have. If you don't have anything to journal about just write what you're grateful. That's a really good prompt. I think it is good to use prompts, but I just usually have enough that I am thinking about that it just kind of like it comes naturally to me.

45:08 But I thing for someone starting out probably helps to have a journal prompt you just use like, you know, Claude or Chad GBT to like come up with some journal prompts for you. Just, that would be helpful. Or if you want to buy one. But I think for me, it's just like kind of getting, sometimes I just write about like random things in in the world that I'm thinking about. So like, I try to think of what random things, like the other, the, other morning I was writing about pattern recognition and I like I,

45:42 was like man, it's crazy. Like if you recognize patterns in your life and your own behavior, how much that influences your and part of that is journaling. And so it was how do I recognize pattern for us? Like, well I do this, this and this. That was completely random, but what were you going to say? Say like, for me, I feel like I, not as good about journaling daily as you are, but like when I do, use it more for like problem solving. And like probably the biggest thing is that like if there's an issue or something that's like triggering me it's, like how does that relate to my past

46:16 and like my pass experience with something. Yeah. And then it's also like at night it beneficial, just like all the random, like I just make a list sometimes of all of random thoughts that are going through my head. And it can be anywhere between like, you know, something that needs to be taken care of in the house to an idea about a peptide topic to. my next art piece to what at the house catches on fire. Cause that's just like a woman's head.

46:48 Um, yeah. Yeah. I do it nighttime. Well, there you go. Your wish list or Taylor has like 12 year old Christmas wish lists at all times. Santa's lists. But birthday is coming up. It is. Coming up, but. I will say at nighttime I do journal. So I've journal first thing in the morning, just about whatever. And then at night time, Just for like two minutes, I'll write what I did good for the day, what did I bad for today? And not bad, but what could I better?

47:18 Then just a random thought. Then I just write like emotional states that I want to experience. That primed my brain to go into the dream state to have good dreams. A lot of times too I journal about like stuff like like to present to you on like certain things. Like what you want. Yeah. There's like, to make an argument for me buying this.

47:49 So, or like why I don't agree with like a, like business idea or a business move. How important is the timing of peptides? Is it noticeable if you forget a day or do it AM instead of PM? Kind of depends on the peptide. I'd say for 80% of them, it doesn't matter. No, 20%. It definitely does. GH peptids. It's going to matter some people like SS 31 at night. If I take it at nighttime, I can't sleep as well. So, but some will sleep better with taking it.

48:19 Right? I sleep. Better if I think in the morning, TURS has GLP and GIP and the Mastodotide has, MASTodota has G L P and Glucon. Correct. Yes. What's up, Han? Hope you're doing well. Thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully we get to link up soon. Are there any peptides that a nursing mother could use to recover from a C-section or is it best to skip peptide until she is no longer nursing? I will say, I don't know.

48:50 That's an Alex question. I would not be the best person to ask just cause I haven't walked people through that. And so I'm sure there are some that are probably fine, but it's also too, we just don' know and there's obviously not gonna be any data around it. Yeah. So I think a lot of people are not going to answer that? Yeah, cause like, even if I did want to, just wouldn't want tell someone some... I like to say I Meaning that like I'm not going to be someone that just makes stuff up.

49:22 Yeah. Even if I am saying something, I'll tell you like, Hey, there's the caveat to this, but yeah. Like I wouldn't do any like GLPs. Well, yeah, definitely. The only thing I would like remotely scratch the surface of is like SS 31, just because that's like not really, it's just making you healthier. It's not like signaling something that is, like a GLP that it like. That's actually what somebody told us to take after birth is SS 31. Yeah. Cause it's SS31 to me is like almost, this is poor analogy.

49:53 It's like injecting red light. Red light's good for everyone. Kind of like SS-31 is good. For everyone, you know, maybe I don't know what you do to be PC or no. Probably not. I mean, I think it'd be harmful, but like, just don' know specifically to a nursing mother, hopefully we're answering that question ourselves soon. For a metabolically healthy 65 year old man, what would be the best peptide for him to take as he is starting weight training after many years?

50:23 Well, Dina, assuming he's on testosterone therapy, I think for a guy like that, probably HGH or a GH peptides would the be best thing just to help, because obviously your lower levels are going to be lower as you're older. And so I would just say probably something around that to health with recovery and sleep and everything would kind of my first thing. What do you think? Yeah, agree with that. GH Peptide. Chuck D says, what about doing HCH1IU in the AM and then MK777 in evening to keep natural GH going plus added in a guy like me that's 49, don't want to

50:58 naturally lose what I do have. Yes, I like that strategy a lot. So I've done that before and I have done HGH in morning, 1Iu and a GH peptide at night in this case would be MK777. I really liked that because it is, to me, that is very analogous to doing testosterone with HCG. meaning that you're taking exogenous testosterone and then you are using the HCG to preserve your natural pulsatility from the pituitary. It's very similar. Obviously completely different things, but very similarly conceptually.

51:29 You can also do it every other day. Yeah, you could do like HH one day and MK the next day too. I've done that and it works. Alexis, thank you. She's in the Axion Collective, one of our members there. Thank you for supporting. Let's see. So a client who has 70 to 20 pounds to lose, would you start someone on Redistil? I think so. I mean, it really depends on the person. You know, I really think in some cases, some people do fine starting right away, but it seems like more people would do better on Terzaptide starting away.

52:07 So I almost would say like, maybe just start them on Trisaptide, depending on like how you think they're going to respond. You know, the, you know the people that are always like nothing works. There's the People that if it's a person that's like Nothing works for them. Like nothing Works. I would Say if they are a more sensitive person, do not put them I wouldn't do red just because they were going To complain about the increase in heart rate. Yeah. But some people don't and some Some people Don't, but like if you Know that theyre gonna be a little bit more like sensitive. Would you say that?

52:37 He's a great example. He just did right away. No, but he was on. Oh, he took Lyric Glutide for a while from his doctor. So I guess he. Introduced to it that way. Yeah. Really is just going to be person dependent. I would say go by their emotional well-being. And I've dealt with them, you know, there's the people that like nothing works for them. There's. A lot of people out there. Nothing. They're the. People that will complain that nothing. Works. In that case, probably true. What's up man?

53:07 been watching since the test of fencing video. Shana, I know you sent me an email about this biggest concern on Reddit long-term is microdoses of the low HRV. Yeah, it depends on the person because some people don't have the lower HRB. And if it is perpetually low while being on Reda and it doesn't adapt, the body doesn't adapt and that person might be a better candidate for trisapatite. I think we can all agree that long-term suppression of HRV and increase in resting heart rate beyond what would be healthy would like,

53:42 we don't want to see that. And so I've read a tritide is inducing that might just be something they have to use for a cycle to get to their goal weight. Then also too, it could be maybe they just do better on trizapatide. Have you heard that as GLP-1 target dopamine receptors that some people quit smoking or gambling or other addiction, but some also lose desire to connect with significant others? Yes, this is very common. I actually wrote about this in an email this week called the double-edged sword of dopamine. And the interesting thing is that we know now for a fact that beyond a GLp-one receptors in the brain, It is blunting dopamine response.

54:19 Now, this is why it's a double edged sword. For some people, the blunting of the dopamine is like a miracle for them. So people that are addicted to gambling, people who have compulsive behavior issues, It can be the best thing for them because it tones that down. However, for other people it can the worst thing because, it causes them to feel emotionally numb. They don't feel connection with their partner, they have no libido, They have not motivation for anything.

54:51 And so where one thing, this is where like neurochemistry is very interesting. One thing doing the same thing mechanistically could be super good for someone and for another person can really bad for him. And so I've never experienced that, but I'm also like, it's interesting. I got, I'd never experience like what I would call like emotional flatness on a GLP, But I also naturally, would say, Taylor would agree. Not a compulsive behavior person.

55:21 Like I am just not naturally drawn to behaviors that I say are detrimental, where some people And again, even in high school, I didn't care about partying. I just wasn't. There's other things that I would say I struggle with, but it's just not something that... I'm not drawn to vices that most people would have, or a lot of people have. No, you definitely not. So like, for me, I would say like I'm more in the middle, but some people, they struggle with those things and GLPs are a miracle. Like they struggled with gambling or, uh, any form of addiction, smoking, drinking, whatever it is.

55:53 Whereas other people they just get like these really emotional flatness on it. And so the question is like our GLP is not for them maybe, or I think something that increases dope. It would be interesting to see things that increase dopamine if that would help someone like that. So like a nine M E B C like 10 milligrams of that, cause that restores dopamine product called bromontane could help. Again, I don't, i'm just speculating here.

56:24 So this would just be like spit balling, even tiacrine raises dopamine. I wonder if like 200 milligrams a tiocrine per day would help with dopamine that would be such an easy thing to try for someone that has that to see if it does. But I do think that we know now for a fact, that's a very real thing. Yeah. Taylor has experienced like emotional flatness from GLPs. Yeah. Gary says calves too. It could be good for training. I think of calves, I don't necessarily like train my calves directly, but I do things that also work on my calf.

57:01 So I Think deadlift squats are always going to work out our calves. But like we do slide push that burns your calves pretty bad. That's worse than any calf, the trampoline. My take on hexarelin, I think hexairelin can be really good short term to improve AFib or improve heart health. I don't, it's a poor GHRP, which is a growth hormone releasing peptide. And so I do not think it is good specifically for the purpose of a long term growth thing, although it does seem to help with AFib and normalizing heart function.

57:37 And also too interesting, there are studies that shows that helps with eye function, so helping with vision and everything. I don't think it's as good as SS31 for that, but it does. But it is also going to cause more appetite increase. It will, yeah, for sure. Yeah, and you down regulate very fast. So it stops working like three or four weeks for a lot of people. Rachelle says I'm 47 and my IGF is 94. Started taking CJC IPA and also purchased Tessa, which you suggest CJS morning and Tess at night.

58:08 I've also noticed water weight gain from the CJ CIPA. So I am hesitant to add TESS. Uh, I mean, wouldn't add in TESSA with those things. If anything, you would do Tesser and IP together. But if you're noticing water retention from CJ, but I would, a lot of women just don't do well with Tесс because of the water attention. And especially if you're a leaner, the water retention is going to be more pronounced. And so I would even say, I do like eight weeks on the IPA and CJC and then, yeah, then do the Tessa after your eight-weeks of CJ.

58:40 I will do a separate rotation of them. And maybe just even doing the IPA by itself. This is what, cause a lot of people don't get the water retention from the IPA because it's GHRP versus CJC is a GHRH that can cause more water attention. So that would be my recommendation there for that one. But yeah, definitely sounds like you could benefit from the peptide because you have pretty low IGF. I would even say like low IgF like that is deleterious because it's going to be harder to lose fat or not going sleep as well and everything.

59:11 And so I, I wouldn't add something there, but also too, if the person's leaner, they're going notice the water retention more, which again, this is why I go back to like HGH is so nice because the problem with the GH peptides, it is not that they are bad, But you don't really get to control how your body responds to them. Whereas like HEH, you can surgically control the dose to say, okay, at 0.5 IUs, I don' get water retention, but one IU, maybe I do. So I'm going to go back down.

59:42 Or maybe, don''t get a water attention at one IU, But I'll do it two Ius, so I''m going back to down, or maybe at two, and I go to back. And so you could control that a lot more. Ooh, we're getting heavy here. Do my best to answer it. 25 storm says, what's been your biggest revelation on a personal development front that you've had in the past year? And how's it helped you grow and develop as a person? I think, um, for me, it's just recognizing that.

1:00:17 I mean, there's, We're always growing. And I don't think if you're a growth oriented person, It's like, you always. If you're always growing, you were going to look back at like different times and say, there were different things. I think for me, I. Think, and this will sound, hopefully this doesn't sound like. Egoic I've always kind of had a very self critical lens and with that, like when it comes to like being an entrepreneur and doing the nature of what we do,

1:00:51 I think I've always been kind of insecure in that sense and been like, Oh, need to rely on other people for stuff. And it's like really stepping into my own and like realizing that like people do appreciate me just for me. Like when I started making videos, like I was so, Like I thought that the way I communicate was not like, would not resonate with people because of what

1:01:22 I saw on the internet. And I was like I'm not this and therefore like people aren't going to like really matter. I've always had this like love hate relationship because I always felt like pulled towards publishing content. But I've also always like kind of detested like everything that's wrong with the internet, which is like people that are just like ostentatious and showy and really narcissistic. And so I was always, like, how do you balance like being a normal, cause like most normal people are not going to put a camera on and film themselves and

1:01:58 post on the Internet. Like that it's not a normally thing to do because you're not trying to get attention. Cause I'm not someone who like seeks attention, even though I post stuff on my internet. And I think we've also shifted in terms of what is made on the internet. There's more space for that. Like the internet's so big, you don't have to be this like arrogant narcissistic person that does a bunch of crazy stuff to try to get attention. And a lot of influencers are unfortunately, and I don' say that like judging anyone or anyone specific or anything, it's just,

1:02:30 that's kind of innate. The internet rewards narcissists people to seek attention, right? Like I think everyone would agree with that, And for me is like, knowing like when I started doing this, you know, six and a half, seven years ago of like putting myself out on the internet. It was like one, like I was kind of insecure with who I. Was from like that perspective, not just as a person, but just like kind doing that it was not because I've always been shy and stuff. And I think in the last year, it's just really being competent and like hey, I kind hit a groove of I know.

1:03:03 how I like to operate and I know that there's people out there that resonate with it and like being very comfortable on the journey of just like consistently doing that each and every day. And I think too the nature of what we do obviously like censorship is huge because like we could wake up and i think when you're when, you make a lot of content one of the biggest fears you have is like you could, wake, up in your stuff could be nuked off the internet And I think being comfortable with like knowing that and not having your identity invested in how many followers you have, which is really hard,

1:03:35 even for someone like me, that's not like seeking attention, but just know this like, Hey, my work is actually doing something in the world. It's kind of like your feedback of, like Hey this does work because like people follow it. And I think for me, it's like being comfortable, like, Hey, my Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, whatever. Cause all those at some point have been taken down is know that like whatever happens, that's okay. Because it, It's meant to happen. And then for whatever reason it is.

1:04:05 a mission and it's to help people and that whatever it is gets taken down just to be like slow and steady wins the race. And also too, to have backup systems like my email list to deal with handle that. So like, if anything goes down, but that's always kind of like the, the one distribution channel I can own with the people that I'm connected with. And so I think that just being more confident in who I am, that like people appreciate me for me and that, like, I don't have to be somebody else that I'm not, or even like do stuff with other people that i'm, not you know, and be tied in with that.

1:04:40 So I guess that makes sense. What would you say for you? Being comfortable not having an identity as a breadwinner. That's definitely no, that actually is a big one. Um, is it's a weird topic in our world. It is. A weird. Topic in. Our world and in, our generation too is being comfortable, not being the breadwinner, or not. Being the boss babe.

1:05:10 Like I've been the. Breadwinners in a previous relationship. I didn't work. Have owned businesses. before prior to ever meeting you and being more secure and saying, like, I'm taking a step back from working as a business like person. Like I am still working, but like I've taken a setback from that and really being okay enjoying this phase of life that I m in of being a homemaker and

1:05:42 a wife and focusing on some of those things and focusing on creating like art in a different way with painting and just like stuff with the house and being okay with that because that's something that is looked down upon with our age group and financially being dependent on, on you,

1:06:18 um, and not being so financially independent, has been the biggest ones. And just, I honestly think it's like being okay with just being fully in my feminine energy. Like we all have masculine, feminine, energy, but being with that. what it did to my nervous system of trying to keep up and trying, to force myself into like being this, like working at the same work and passability that

1:06:53 you can do. And the thing is, is that like my heart, I enjoy doing like homemaking stuff. I enjoyed gardening, enjoy cooking, and enjoy cleaning the house. Enjoy making art and creating in that sense and being okay with that. Um, and I think probably one of the biggest things also too is like knowing that I've never been a big social media person. Like I didn't, I don't have Instagram until, until like the COVID quarantine happened.

1:07:27 I. Didn't. Have that at all. And I own businesses prior to being in this industry, like I'm knowing. That like, you know, it's crazy just how much like social can affect you and, um, just how much like you put your work out there to like make these videos and to make content because we want to better, not because want be seen. Um, and then it kind of sucks. Like when things get like, you know, taken down and banded and you.

1:08:03 And it's like your heart's in it for the good reasons. A lot of the toxicity of what's out there in social media, especially when you meet some of these bigger people and just how inauthentic they are and it's like it does give you an ego check like but it everything happens for a reason and I think. It's also learning to let things go in situations that didn't work out go. That's probably been like probably the biggest one for me.

1:08:36 And probably just coming from a protective side from you is like learning. To let go of situations, that happened that were not done and necessarily fair, but they were done for a reason and really learning let go of that, but also really learning to, for me, it's like really speaking my voice and really standing by like, hey, something's off.

1:09:06 Something doesn't feel right. And really sticking to that rather than just like, doesn't feel right, but okay, fine, whatever, just going with it and really standing as like making a stance on it. And learning how to trust that intuition when it comes to certain, you know, things in the future and learning to let go and learn. Forgive and be grateful for certain situations that hadn't worked out. Yeah. Yeah, I would say just be grateful for like everything in your life is a learning experience.

1:09:40 Yeah. I get to the point where that's I feel that way most of the time, but it doesn't make it any time you go through stuff any easier. But no, no. No, But I wouldn't say that more, more of that of just like, everything is kind of a learned experience, to your point about the masculinity and femininity stuff. It's like really tough for a lot of women because it's how are they going to find a man that's not going rely on them to provide, you know, because a lot of men don't provide. No, they don' and it's like I've been in relationships with other men that like were financially very successful and they still didn't want to.

1:10:14 Provide. Yeah. In the sense they wanted to be 50 50 and that can work for some people, but I knew for me, that it was not what I wanted, I think for women it is like, really taking the time to really work on yourself and becoming very secure with yourself. And know that like you're in this place for a reason and keep working on that. Don't settle, don't settled. It's easy to say though. I mean, no, it is easier to stay, but like we didn't meet until we were in our thirties.

1:10:49 And it's like, I, because I know what it was like I've been there and it just like don t settle. If it s like if you have to like convince yourself to be with that person, that's not your person. and I have always said this, like i would rather be alone than and be single then be, and then not be with the right person because I've been divorced. I have been with a wrong people. Um, you know, I even like, uh, remember having a very serious conversation like with, with my oldest sister about like if I don't meet my person by a certain age,

1:11:26 like doing the, the parenting and single mom thing on my own. This was like, very, obviously very dramatic. But I mean, we had talked about that, like with, I talked that with her. I talk about it with our husband of like them being on board to help as a family knit community. Like I'm so grateful that I had that relationship with them, but like I, cause I became that secure with myself, that things didn't work out with you. And even like right now, Obviously I'm financially dependent thing didn't work out for you.

1:11:57 Okay. Like it doesn't. I know how to take care of myself. Well, this is not directly related, but one of the greatest quotes, there's a guy named Neval Ravikant. He's kind of like a tech investor and Silicon Valley and whatever. And he's got like all these like, uh, I don't know what you would call them. Cause it's kinda like philosophical points, someone like put together a book of all of his like principles or whatever, and I remember reading that or

1:12:34 listening to it. I think I listened to the audio book. It's called the almanac of Neville Rava. And his brother actually has a really good book. So his brothers name Kamal, Robert, he has this book, how to love yourself. Like your life depends on it. And that's like, it sounds like a cheesy book but that book was really, really powerful for me. I read that probably like four years ago. And it's just about like how to actually, like a lot of people like don't really love themselves. Like, and that, what does that actually mean? And for me, it was helpful because he like approached it from like, a very literal perspective, how you actually do that.

1:13:04 Anyway, Neval Ravikant, he always has this thing he says is like I don' want to be wealthy, which he is very wealthy. He says, I want be able to dropped in any city in the world. with nothing and in one year make it all back. I think to like your point of what you just said is it's not about like financial success or material success, or whatever it is. It's to be able to have the skill set to drop anywhere and to know that you have that within you. Now obviously you don't want to go through that repeated like You want to be able to maintain momentum as you go along.

1:13:37 But I think to that point, to go back to this question, which is personal development, is to know that you can have everything taken away from you, but you still have your soul and you have you. And to able do that within one year. That's a very, very powerful thing because then when you Like you're just playing to win. You're not really worried about losing stuff. Just playing the win every day. And I think that's one of the best mindsets to have is to know that you have everything taken away. It's like, I'll make that back.

1:14:07 Obviously you don't want to perpetually put yourself in situations like that. I always knew I could, but now it's I really know. That's a good place to be. Your confidence has grown a lot. I think so. That would be one thing. It's nice seeing you on your own. Yeah. Well, I know I feel like I, know where people are trying to get me to take this and I'm not going there, but I don't know what Taylor wants to. Take it.

1:14:37 But, uh, Regina says, joined Axion. Yes. We love having you there. Regina. Uh, can you tell us what the stack is right now? Mine's very simple. Obviously I've got my fertility stuff. So I got. My HCG, my FSH and my in clomophene and. And my carnitine. a foundation right now for fertility. And then, um, I will say peptide wise I'm taking SS 31 and is there anything else as do tied?

1:15:09 Yep. and I was going to say kids, pepped in pre, uh, baby making just to help with anything that we can from that perspective. So as a 31 mass do tide and kids and that's it. Pretty simple. Nothing, nothing too crazy. Yeah. I guess for a lot of people that probably would be crazy because it looks like if you added it up, it's like eight things, but those things are like more foundational to fertility. So I would say other than that, I don't have too much crazy stuff going on.

1:15:39 I'm doing all my hormones, uh, 12 milligrams of testosterone a week, 200 milligrams, a progesterone, um, one milligram of the, Um, MOTC, NAD plus, five amino blend and one milligrams a weak of Mastutide. And then, kiss peptone. How much is peptide we're using? We just do 300 micrograms. I know it does like 150 to 300. It's been doing 300 microns.

1:16:10 Yeah. HTH is always part of it. We'll say one thing. Um, we actually got pharmaceutical prescribed HGH and the brand that we got is called Zomacton. Z-O-M-A-C-T- O-N. And that stuff is really strong. Caused a little bit of water retention. So I went back, I tried that for a couple of weeks, went I really love centotropin because I get like no water retention, but you do get all the benefits. I feel so lean. Centotrophin is just like, man.

1:16:42 It's not like the bodybuilder's choice. Obviously, genotrope would be, centropen for the optimization person is good. But I will say Zomactone because that's a relatively affordable prescription HGH. You can get your doctor to write a script for it, which we were able to do. And does that work? Like if I was trying to put on mass, I would be using that. I'm just not trying get big. Like I don't want to be any bigger than I am right now. And I like to away like two 15. Um, like if, if was to get up to like 245, you know, so Mac don would really good.

1:17:14 It's powerful stuff. But anyway, it was like, do it, Well, let's have two kids first. And then I'll turn into macho man after that. Uh, Jennifer says, took tours for eight months, lost what I wanted, swapped to Reda. Didn't, I didn't gain, but don't love it. The sugar craving is real. It's now been over a year. I know I need to take a break. Don't want to gain. Then she says in the next comment, my energy level is low going to do not see how would, how do I cycle down from the red?

1:17:46 What do you recommend? So I don' gain back and how long of a It's kind of up to you. What I like to think is do like a 25% decrease in the dose per week, 20 to 25 percent decrease, in a dose, per a week over like, a four week period. So let's say five milligrams. I would just go down one milligram per weeks. We'll go from five to four to three to two to one over five weeks, four or five, weeks and then you go off. That's a good taper down. Or if you're on 10, you'd go 10 8 4 6 2 and off And that's what I would do. And then if you do that and then take another four-ish weeks off, I think that like a good reset period.

1:18:20 Then you can move back into a low dose, whether it's through Zeptide, Reta, whatever you want to be, and Mod C. The thing is, just had that video come out about the non-GLP fat loss peptides. Just use some of those if your off of a GLP. I'm not going to say they're going work as good as the GLPs are the king, but it really helps your momentum for eight weeks coming off a Methylene blue and mozzie together. Okay. Or no, I think it's fine together I would definitely do that before I do test of fencing and methylene blue, but Yeah, i mean i've just never been like

1:18:55 the biggest methylenine blue fan Although I will say topically applied methyline blue I've always had good results with for acne which makes sense because anti-microbial. Yeah oral I just Never really saw anything from it but i'm not saying it can't work agree with that Yeah, Dina. Yeah. Dena says the methylene blue in the Sarah or the Methylene blue and the test of fencing can cause serotonin syndrome. Um, that's what I was getting at earlier. She elucidated that much more clearly than I did. Uh, I split a 1200 milligram vial of guttothione weekly, better dose around 170 milligram daily or 400 milligrams three times a week.

1:19:31 The advantage to daily versus intermittent dosing. I would say the only difference is going to be like how much injection pain can you tolerate? So if you're doing a 400 milligram dose and it really bothers you from the injection, pain standpoint, probably daily is better. therapeutic side of things. I don't think it matters if you're doing that. It's just like what is easier for you to inject would be my answer. Shawna says, what about PE 2228, 100 to 200 micrograms intranasal and methylene blue 3.5 milligrams?

1:20:04 Hmm. I don't know. You know, like, so P 2228 is a Trek inhibitor. So I know that you'd have the same response like the serotonin syndrome that she would from the Tesso fencing. And so I would just say proceed with caution. Like P2228 better than methylene blue for cognitive function, but I dunno. That's a lower dose of methylenine blue.

1:20:36 Uh, zero says question about MK 777. I'll try to, I don't know if he put it down there. Maybe we'll come back to it. Don't see the question yet. Sometimes the comments come in. Any opposition of an 18 year old male on GH peptides? No, not going to sit here and tell you exactly what to do, but I, personally wouldn't. They give, I'll say this, there's clinical literature on giving growth hormone itself to kids that are 11 and 12 years old and go look it up for yourself.

1:21:10 So I don't like to get into talking about stuff for kids, but if we know that safe, could we extrapolate that it would be safe for an 18 year old to use CJC? One would think so. Yes. Gratitude is so important. It's very true. You know what's interesting about that? I know I wrote about this in my book, but, um, question about my. I'd be interested to see how people feel about. So I haven't done the audio book for my testosterone book. Which were, it's like a year and a half old now. And I just never got around to it because I didn't have a good mic equipment.

1:21:42 Now that I do. Is it really a. October of 2024. Yeah. That's when I launched it. What? I guess I read it before you. Yeah, I was like a couple of years ago. You're reading it when I. Was working on it. They like started dating me and I'm like, yeah, got this manuscript. Look, if you want to read. No, I was into it then. He listens to all your videos. Now I'm like, Oh, can't listen to those.

1:22:12 Delete scrolling. Yeah. No. But, um, no. And what I. Well, okay. I'll answer the question first. So I used to, like here, oh, all the people talk about like you need to have gratitude or whatever. When you're not in a place that you are grateful for, You're like, you get pissed off at that statement. And then I realized like the reason that you're not grateful is because like The reason you are not in a place you like in life is you aren't grateful for it. The moment you just start saying I'm grateful whatever it is, even if you feel like you in crappy situation.

1:22:45 all of a sudden things start to improve. And when I started doing that, I was like, Oh, wow. Like actually what I'm so grateful for is my health, like getting up and just having a cup of coffee in the morning, you know, and like setting out and get to work for the day, whatever it is, whether it's like doing landscaping work or getting to help people do what do is like. So like the moment you start training yourself to like think about things that way, it But the reason that I was not happy is because I would have like a revulsion to that statement instead of an acceptance of it.

1:23:17 Yeah. I remember learning that in a book content that I'm not going to say what the subject was because old loose people get upset. But, and it was about basically like, if you are, you want a new house and then you're constantly complaining about the house that you in, You're never going attract that. And if start being grateful for the House you have, we'll eventually be able to manifest the houses that your wanting. Work for you. I think, um, no, but the reason I said is cause I was, uh, I logged into my Amazon author account the other day to check on something and it actually will

1:23:55 like automatically do an AI audio book version for you. And so what I would be interested to see is like, if people would, cause there's a lot of people that won't read my book cause they just will listen to audio books. Would it be better if I had an Ai version or should I keep delaying that might take another few months to get like me recording it? to like sit down and do it. And then also sacrifice work that I'm also working on of like writing and publishing and stuff. Or is it better to just have like an AI version? Do it just so that people can listen to it as is.

1:24:29 Because it would be easy. Like Amazon, what I'm saying is that Amazon will do that now for you. It's like, hey, you don't have this as an audible book. Would you want an AI version? I do think that you're a fast talker. That could be challenging with doing an audio book, I am not saying that means anything, but you are a faster talk. You want it to be slow because people can always speed it up, But you do not want to. I would say for knowing you and knowing how you get I would say it would not be good for our relationship if you recorded it yourself because it's going

1:25:02 to take too much off of your work. I don't think you have time for it. Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying is like it will sack. I will have to sacrifice something else that could potentially be more content, like video content that I'd be doing. Cause that would be the audio recording of that. It's just like, is it better just to have the AI version out there so that people, cause there's like I think 60% of men, I don't have mentioned this and no one would have known potentially. Yeah, but I want to be upfront with people.

1:25:32 Like if it's, if is there, I would say you guys vote the AI version because. Do you want to sacrifice video content or do you? Well, yeah, that's that opportunity cost is like I have to spend time away from video. And you're not happy when. That's the highest and best use of my time, I think is the best way to say it. Because that's one thing that I can do that no one else can.

1:26:02 When you're happier when you are doing that. Yeah, because I know that that is highest use. I find myself doing things that shouldn't be doing. That I could hire someone else to do. This is like a therapy session. I mean, if that's what people don't hear, I'm more than happy to talk about it. But Linda says my son is 300 pounds, but just unable to lose weight with Reda. I've been taking 120 units a week.

1:26:35 like, or you had like three plates of food. I don't really know what that is. You have to tell me in the milligrams amount, but there can be a lot going on there. He could have a hormone deficiency. Don't know how much he's training and doing cardio. Like, is he just injecting the Reda? Um, and so there's a of variables there, But yeah, you could try trisapatite. And I think for someone like that, that trs is going to be better. like red tritide for some of those 300 pounds is, going, to, be, better than trizapatide. Agree or disagree. Yeah. I think it's just, you can't deny that.

1:27:06 And if it not working, then it either here's kind of option. You can stay at the same dose and just hope that it keeps working. Can ACH cause kidney function decline? Not in my experience with therapeutic doses. I guess potentially if you're talking about like really high doses, it could, but no, if anything, I mean, my kidney functioning over the last couple of years because of Jardiance has improved dramatically.

1:27:37 Not that it was bad before, SS31 too will help with the kidney functions. Yeah, it does as well. Dina says, can we take oxytocin for the blunting of the dopamine response? Definitely. I don't know that it's going to be like a long-term thing. It would be more of like short- term, but yeah, you could definitely take that to help. And it is going help with building muscle too. Yep. Inject it to build muscle. I cannot take CJC Tessa due to allergic reactions, but IPA has no reaction. Any idea why? Well, so it has to do with, I mean, don't think anybody really knows.

1:28:10 TESSA and CJ C are GHR H's which work specifically on the pituitary pathway. IPAM runs a GHRP, which works via ghrelin agonism. And by doing, by working on ghrelin agonism, it increases IGF levels. And so they're a little bit different in that mechanism. In IPA, GHRPs tend to have much less of an immune allergic response than the GHHs do. So if you struggle with those, I would just use a GHRP like ipamrelen.

1:28:41 MK777 would be another one. GH, the only other ones that are like Kind of work for GHRP2, GHRP6, hexarelin. And again, those are much less efficacious. MK677, but I like MK777 better. Sunny says, my 19 year old son wants to gain muscle and get bigger. What do you suggest? I will say this. I mean, sure. You can take out peptides and stuff. A 19 year old is going to be, especially a boy is gonna respond really good to eating enough.

1:29:11 Some creatine, some injectable carnitine some dada, and maybe even some SLU. Like if you just give a 19-year-old those and their training and they're eating right and everything, they are going respond to really well. The eating is like the Well, yeah, you got it. I mean, I, when I was 19, what they're eating. So when was a pup, When I 19 I. Was a redshirt freshmen in college and I walk on, on a division one power five school football team.

1:29:41 And I wasn't nobody. and I was probably like 208 pounds and i was like probably 20 pounds too light. I didn't use any peptides, I mean I had creatine, i didn' use peptide and put on 20 lbs. How much was muscle? I don't know, around 13% body fat because they would test our bodyfat as part of our cattle call or whatever. So I put on 20 pounds and what did I do? I ate all the time, probably about 6,000 calories per day, breakfast snack, lunch snack dinner snack.

1:30:14 And you got to eat, you gotta eat a lot of carbs and you've got a weight drain and. You got do everything. Granted, I was training three or four hours per. Day. Cause I. Was a college athlete. So, um, those would be my recommendations and yeah, get into peptide stuff, but, Um, yeah. I would start there because those just work really well for what they do. Interesting. Echo says, I have medical liquids and insulin with an ice pack works 10 to 10 with TSA for carry ons. Good to know. I haven't tried that book.

1:30:45 Yeah. Sheena says humans are attracted to authenticity, honesty, integrity. That's what people draw on you. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Here's the MK question. So yes. Okay. We talked about that, about taking it. Um, falling two months on 0.5 to one milligram weekly dose of red, a hunger ramped up drastically and got extreme bloating always been lean muscular. Have you seen this issue? I mean, the bloated could come from the gastric and being, being slowed and you get constipated and therefore bloated.

1:31:16 And yeah, definitely with the hunger that's very common. Yeah. Again, I think it's because especially for people that are leaner, you're in a calorie deficit, your having this ghrelin and leptin reaction would be my first guess probably. So. Mary says, when I was married, I worked full time, took care of the house, to care the kids, grocery shop plan and cook the meals and had to pay bills. Wow. I guess that's why she was sorry to hear that.

1:31:47 Well, just saying that I personally, if that was a woman, like I wouldn't, do so much before I would put Taylor in that position. That's just not fair. Am I wrong? I just don't think it's fair if you're like in a partnership. I mean, someone didn't want that. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like I have girlfriends that want. There's nothing wrong. Yep. So I personally, yeah. My significant other and I are 50 50 right now.

1:32:17 Want to double my income so she doesn't have to work. Now with the advent of agentic AI, I had to learn to be an entrepreneur rather than a software developer. Yeah, I would say, however, there has never been a better time, to be an entrepreneur. So the way I think about being an entrepreneurs, is I was an Entrepreneur before I did this. And one of the best pieces of advice I heard was, just go fix other people's problems. There are so many problems in the world. That people will pay to have fixed and being an entrepreneur is just really having a good understanding of like what problems people have and then how

1:32:52 to go solve those problems So like I'll tell everyone a little story. I don't know if I've talked about this before publicly My brothers and I when we were in high school, so my dad's a landscaper We would do tree jobs with my Dad and he would bring back the logs the house and we would split those logs up and sell them for firewood on the side of the road And I went to college and then came back after I graduated from college. And had a job and I was like, we've got all this firewood at the house. We're just selling on the side of the road. It's like a side hustle. I wonder if I could build a website that people would buy fire wood locally on And I taught myself, I knew nothing about it,

1:33:28 but I was doing real estate time. So I like learning digital marketing stuff. Taught myself how to build a website. Like no one, like I think a lot of people, and again, that I don't want to sound this egoic. No one ever taught me how do any of this stuff, Like I just went and figured it out. And that's where I get annoyed with people probably sometimes. too much, like I should be more compassionate to people. But like no one ever taught me that stuff. Like I just went and taught myself that I get like really frustrated with family members or stuff because it's like, why do they not have a desire to go learn stuff?

1:33:58 But anyway, it is not my journey. It's their choice. To the point of like being an entrepreneur is like here's, you would think like entrepreneurs, all this stuff, got to like build a tech company or whatever. I literally built a website and learned how to rank it on Google for firewood for sale. And after a couple of weeks, people started calling that website and me and my brother started delivering fire wood. So, and we could make sometimes like an extra $5,000 or $10,00 a month, depending on the season that we would all split.

1:34:29 We had to like pay for the firewood or like, it was hard work splitting fire wood. You know, like you got to either have a wood splitter or you're like using an ax split fire, wood, but people would pay people will pay $500, especially like well-to-do people. Cause I will do this now. People will play $ 500 for you to bring a truckload of fire with their house and stack it for them. What? No, no, stop. We're not doing the eyes today. Tell me what you're doing eyes for. I would never pay $500 for firewood.

1:35:02 You paid a lot more for a little less. Okay. So we don't need fireworks. I would pay $500 for someone to come stack firewood now, but I also have a soft spot because I stacked a lot of fire wood for people. Point being is that there are so many ways to use technology to help solve problems. And if right now you wanted to go make money, you could make an extra five or 10 K a month. If you live in a place where people burn fire, wood, which is like.

1:35:32 you know, like I know in the like hot areas, they might not as much in summer, but like most, a lot of places we're in North Carolina and like from October until March, people consume a firewood, whether it's for outdoor or indoor fireplaces. Point being is like, I taught myself how to do those things. This was before AI or anything. Like I was like manually building a website and doing stuff. Now it'd be like oh my goodness. It's so easy. You could literally go into, Oh my Goodness. I remember going to the library for like three days in a row to build this website. because like I would get a library to like lock myself in a desk and I Would build a website and like three days because you got to build it But then you

1:36:06 gotta like learn how to rank it and google too And so I was like doing all this and i set up a foot you had to Like all the stuff like set a phone number to give people a call like an automated phone Number like a google voice number and then like be able to text them and Then like respond to them And stuff. Yeah point being is that like? I think to the point about like agent again There's like so many tools to help solve other people's problems in the world. And if you want to be an entrepreneur I don't know how we got about this talking about peptides, but if you want to be an entrepreneur, like just go look for problems in the world that people need help solving.

1:36:37 And it didn't have to super complicated. Yes. You can like go out and like solve like very high level problems. Obviously you'll get compensated a higher monetary amount. But to the point is like, I never would have imagined in this world that I could have built a website to make that much money off of firewood. Cause we were just praying we make a hundred bucks selling on the side of the road and there's ways that you can do that. And so take that and apply it to like any other thing that's out there. Um, point of me is like, yeah, I wish I had lovable cause I would could've gone, you like literally spit out like a site in like 30 seconds now with lovable.

1:37:12 So anyway, um, zero, we talked about the, the HEH and the MK 777. So yes, it's definitely fine to do any good peptides for seasonal allergies. Thymus alpha one and LL 37 would be the best go-to ones, KPV as well. But sometimes if you got a lot of pollen, like we do here, sometimes you just stuck dealing with it. Craziest pollen season. I mean, there's still pollen. Yeah. Best non-GLP stack was someone who has approximately 10 more pounds to lose.

1:37:44 It's like Matzi could be good. Five amino. Injectable five amino could. I like Albuterol, use that for like two or four weeks. Topical yohimbine can be. Good. Um, injectable carnitine would be another one that would. So. Sloop and DMSO is fire. Interesting. I haven't tried it with that, but ARA 290 for my peripheral neuropathy is working great.

1:38:14 GW0742. That's another one. Carterine GW 0742 would be great for the last 10 pounds. Yeah. Here's the thing is like I released a podcast on EMF yesterday. You know, Alex talks about the quantum block or whatever. Actually going to do a pod cast with the guy that is the owner of blue shield. So like a lot of people really don't like the EMF talk. I can't sit here and tell you like I have a bunch of published literature around EMT stuff.

1:38:51 If I, if the placebo effect works, give me more placebo effects. Yeah. And so also to just to the point and of like guests, cause like, as we interviewed guests like a lot of times we're just kind of this one-on-one with me and Taylor talking directly with you guys. Um, If I bring someone as a guest on, even if I disagree with them, I am the type of person, like I'm not interested in debating anyone. There's people out there that want to do that. That's fine. I've genuinely interested, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got, be the interested person rather than the interesting person.

1:39:28 And if someone comes on, I'm going to hear them out and I'll listen to them and even disagree with that. I might ask them questions about it, but I won't sit and tell them whatever they're talking about as pseudoscience. Because if I've brought a guest on I know for a fact that person's worked pretty hard to find their way into my life. Somehow, however we've met through the matrix of life or whatever. And I'm not going to like openly try to fight them or talk to them. Doesn't mean I am going agree with them on all the things. You treat people how you want to be treated.

1:39:59 Yes. And if someone didn't believe in peptides and I went on their podcast, I would appreciate if they would just hear me out. Let me say it. So again, when it comes to pseudoscience stuff, technically like all the stuff we talk about, it's like pseudoscience, right? No human studies. If someone talks about EMF and whatever, and they've got this opinion of how it works, i'm going to hear them out, even if I don't agree with everything that they say. I've gotten some really, really hateful messages from people about guests that I have interviewed. And it's disappointing to me, one, because they want me to like fight the guests.

1:40:31 I'm not going to do that. Like, I am not gonna sit in front of someone that's like talking about something and try to debate them or fight them, or whatever, cause I've generally interested in hearing. Yeah. Like they want to say like that person's wrong or that persons right? And I would just say, like, be interested in learning. And maybe they're not right about something, but I'm still like now, does that mean I might give a platform to someone that's going to come on and say

1:41:03 peptides are trash and you should never use peptide? Probably not. But I still would be kind of interested into why that would say that. Yeah, just being open minded to hearing just another person. Yes, I'm very interested in other people's point of view because like even I don't agree with it a lot of times I learned something that could be very beneficial or eye-opening to me and it's sad because I get a a handful of like hateful messages about people that I've had on that. I just interviewed even with like the few people we've interviewed and you know, that's not the majority of people but it is kind of disappointing because

1:41:36 it like they want that person to be like like talk down to because they don't agree with them. And I don t necessarily agree doing that to people. That's just how I roll. I know some people, that's like their whole audience is built off debating and calling people out and stuff. But that s just to go back to earlier, personal growth is like, That s part of my personal grow is just wanting to respect other people and like hey, someone has a different point of view that is totally cool. Like I m not going to bite them on it.

1:42:07 Do you see any harm in running a higher testosterone if blood work is spotless? I'm running about 1900 nanograms per deciliter, but my blood pressure are perfectly in range. Not at all. I would say keep going. Most doctors are not going to tell you that. But I'd say you're healthy as a horse. We have no studies to say that higher levels of testosterone in that range are deleterious. If anything, it's the opposite. Jordiants, most studies seem to show the majority of benefit to timolograms. Is there much added benefit of 25 mg?

1:42:39 I have to agree with that. Practically speaking, I think a half tab majority into 12.5 mg or 10 mg is as good as 25mg. If anything, the 25 mgs probably lowers my blood pressure a little too much sometimes. Yeah, for me too. Not my sugar, my pressure. And, uh, 10 milligrams. And so I would have to agree. I think that might be the threshold dose now in a diabetic person that really needs it specifically for diabetes, potentially. But I, think for the person, that's like in it for, the longevity purposes, I.

1:43:10 Think it's could be, well, just having it. Because I do get a low blood pressure. Yeah. Also too, it was like, we're on GLPs and my poor man and stuff. So, but I noticed it more after adding. Yeah. Why is SS 31 so hard to find now? I mean, if you know where to fight it, it's not, but the reason is this FDA approved. And so a lot of research sites got slapped for selling it. So that would be why.

1:43:42 Becoming a health coach and consulting on peptide knowledge and information appears to be the way to, be paid and avoids loss of liability. Any recommendations of waiver bullet points? I think it's just tell people you're not a doctor. It's not medical advice. So I have that like in the beginning of my videos. I think where it can get gray is like when people think you're a doctor. So I'm always like very specific. If I've ever like working with people, this is not medical advice. You're literally just paying me for me to talk about theoretical things. Yeah. And especially having that cause like in like, in your payment options for your protocol, like having not like the, you know,

1:44:18 the fine print in the bottom of your clauses when you do your protocols. When people purchase like your coaching plans and everything. Yeah, they, have to know that because like, it can be very blurry of a line of like what is practicing medicine. Yeah. And so I'm always upfront with people, like a lot of people are like how do you do what you and get away with it? It was like there's one, a lotta people doing worse than me, but, um, It's just that they have to be very clear on doing that. But again, it's kind of one of those things like you can get sued for anything.

1:44:50 And so it like, you know, be, very upfront, Be very, clear with people be like very intentional that it is not practicing medicine. This is, not you backing your doctor also to like don't go around injecting other people with peptides, You know? Like, cause some people do that and you get in trouble for doing, that because that's obviously like kind, of looks like. You're trying to you are practicing medicines. Yeah. When taking HGH on two, I use my IGF is about 220. When I switched to three, go to 300. What is a good IGIF number to focus on as a 53-year-old mirror?

1:45:21 I think it's whatever you feel best out. Now, either of levels are fine, from a health perspective. I think you talk about like IGF, you're probably getting into like the six and seven hundreds that we would say like, okay, maybe that's not the best thing. But honestly, I, think up until like 400, You're totally healthy and I wouldn't see any issue. And for me, it's just like I would get so much water retention before my IG F would be high enough to be dangerous that I was just being uncomfortable. My blood pressure would, be I I. Wouldn't want it. So I will just drop back down. But I think 300 is better than 220, you know, so, and again, that's again not always the best proxy because it's one IGF is like very transient in terms

1:46:00 of like what level you're getting at that specific time. Meaning if you did it like four other times throughout the day, even on the GH is going to be different throughout Do you think Clo is safe to run all year? And if not, are there specific peptides within the blend that you feel a reasonable long-term use or year-round use? I personally wouldn't do that because of the BPC and the TB 500. And again, I'm not saying they cause cancer, but I prefer to cycle those because the nature of they are more growth promoting to which I would not always want to be signaling the growth promotion.

1:46:33 And again, we talk about HGH, that's a replacement of a natural hormone, whereas those are like adding on more growth promoting agents. I think it's dangerous. That's debatable, but I personally don't do that. Now, I will say KPV would be one that I would feel more comfortable with because of the nature of what it is. It's more of an anti-inflammatory than it as a growth promoter. And so if there was one that I would inject all year round, probably KPV. GHK is similar in that sense. So like, I don't think you really have to worry about that with GH K.

1:47:04 but the rub there would be like, how much can you tolerate from an injection perspective? And so I would say out of those KPV first, and then the second would, that I feel more comfortable with like doing all the time. I think people like with KPB is so good. It's just, again, like it's not in the common consciousness at this point of being as good as BPC. Because of the anti-inflammatory action, the gut health, you know, no GH or tests. Oh, when you're going to your profile. Yes.

1:47:34 He's still, yes. GH and test for my personal. And we're doing that right now with fertility and we'll see how it goes. If it comes to the point where I really have to get off, I will. I'm going get my, another test on here soon to see where we are at. Yeah. See, see people don't like, they don' like if you have the AI version. They'd rather record it. So. Yeah. And then the other thing too, is like a lot of people are not going to read it. Like they're not gonna order and read a book. They're only gonna listen to it, so you can always, I could hire someone else to record it but then it's not- Oh, you should do that.

1:48:05 Well, that was the fat guy that you know is an actor. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, He's, he's a very good voice actor. Um, there is like, I know, like I have an app called speechify. Like I've had it trained on my voice so it can read whatever text in my. But it's not going to come across as I would say it was like 90% there, but there's there are going be times where it. It's like it, it is not how I. Would say something. Cause it just an AI voice reading it but it pretty close to my boys.

1:48:38 Weirdly enough. Dermorphin? Yeah, I don't know enough about it. So I've heard good things about. But I think it's a pain relief peptide, but yeah, pretty good stuff from what I heard. I just don' know dosing or anything. Where to get LDN? The easiest place is a Aegis RX. Yeah. Telly RX has it too, Aegs RX is like 30 bucks a month. That's where I get mine from.

1:49:10 I take 15 milligrams of methylene blue daily is okay to do with SS 31 epitalin or should I stop methylen blue? Um, I don't see any contraindications of those together. So I think you'd be fine taking that. Yeah. Eleven labs, 11 labs and speech. If I have both the boys clones talk about Dada just bought the transdermal trans dermal is really good. Um DADA is kind of think about it. Is it, it basically like, increases your lactate threshold. So one, you have more energy, fat loss is probably a little bit better.

1:49:41 It's a mitochondrial agent, but it keeps you from, like you can do more reps. The easiest way, if I told someone, what does Dada do? It takes that I can bench 225, 10 times and moves it to 15 times. That's what it does. Like it kind of takes the governor off, so it's really good pre-workout for that reason. Can you bench that much? Do 25,10 times? Yeah, I could definitely do it. I mean, back in the day, Taylor's like, she's teasing me. She knows I was like, yeah, it's like every football guy or just like it.

1:50:12 It's asking a guy about his car or whatever. How much, how much can you actually get lift? Like if you, if your a girl and you're like want to get a cut talking, How must you bench? Oh wow. Um, point being is like. But go to a gym right now, warm up 225, definitely 10, maybe 15, not 20. Back in the day I could do 30 though. 230? No, I can bench 224, 30 reps. So I like, could take it off and do thirty reps in a row without stopping.

1:50:48 My pro day, I did it 28 times because I was kind of tired because i've been through a lot of other drills before that. But, um, i was always better at repping than maxing out. Like I never got over 400 on max. A lot people that bench 400 like can do- Benching 400, that's a. Yeah. Especially. That's four plates on each side, but I got to like, my best max was 385. About squatting. Or was I could squat a lot better. I squatted five 85 for my best one, red max. So I never got a 600, but I got to 1300 pound club, which means that you could, I squat at five, 85 bench, 385. Would you say that your youngest brother

1:51:25 who's in college and playing football? Would, would you. He will probably do more than that. You definitely will bench more. I power clean three 40. I don't know if he'll power claim three, 40, I hope he does. He probably get like three 50 on power. Clean his wrist. Get too bad squat. Oh no, that was a pretty good squatter. Like I squatted five. And what about, your brother's names.

1:51:56 What about the third one that played that also played. I think he benched 400. Okay. Cause he's, he is the biggest. I don't think you squatted more than me. Um, I guess like height wise, well, He was definitely bigger. He's like six, three, two 50. It's prime. Yeah. That was like 6 foot, 2 25 to 30. But yeah, yeah. You don' think your youngest will cause his legs are a lot bigger than You have a mime or bigger when I was, well, his hamstrings and glutes,

1:52:27 my quads were bigger. He might, yeah, he might as long as he stays healthy. Yeah. Cause he's got three more years. So he'll probably squat 600. I mean, I know he squatting like, but I want him to do bodybuilding so bad after he has known each one of my brother. Each one. Of my brothers would be better physique bodybuilders than I would. They just don't really care about the third one though. Because he the tallest. No, he would, He could be, that he'd look like a pro wrestler. Yeah. But like, if he like really watched his diet and got like leaned out, the youngest one, I want him to do bodybuilding.

1:53:03 His back is huge. I don't know. Maybe he will. Highly doubt it. Two 25. That's still, still throw that up a little bit. We're like, shut up. You guys are going way off. All right. Let's get back on. Uh, yeah. Dear morphine. Again, I don't really know too much. I want to speak on it. Oh, let me do a little bit more research. Um, 60 days of MK seven, seven seven five days on two days off at 20 milligrams a day.

1:53:37 A good run. No sides at all except better sleep. Yeah, think that's fine. Like 10 milligrams, but you can probably go to 20 millimeters and it's. And, uh, six days. That's totally fine eight weeks. Yeah, I have never really thought the oral five amino did anything. The injectable though works really good. I feel that problem solving here paid to be a gym buddy who keeps people on track.

1:54:07 Text about nutrition, motivation goals, some peptides, and maybe we go work out three clients. So forth. There you go. That's solving people's problems. Yeah. They, especially when it comes to health stuff, there are no shortage of problems solve. Reducing calories by 200 grams at least every other day and walking more and would work on the last 10 pounds. Let's not forget. Yep. Yes. Agreed. Just walk more sometimes helps. And also it's also counting and tracking calories up.

1:54:37 Yeah. yes. agreed here. and this is like kind of like the age that we're in is What about anecdotal data? Jeff Bezos, one of the best quotes that one my friends tells me about Jeff bezos is when the data and the anecdotes don't line up, trust the antidotes. And that's like one the richest guys in the world. So does that make sense? I'm just more so trying to figure out who this friend is. I think the smartest friend I have.

1:55:09 Yeah, my line of skepticism is at the structured water stuff. So I want to try it. It's one of those things it's like, you know, again, we're going to have peer review data on structured, water, probably not. But if it works, give me more placebo. Yeah. Our whole world is literally composed of electrically charged protons, electrons and neutrons. I don't get why it is hard to believe. I know it's just some people they don't, they have like a negative reaction to a lot of stuff. If it doesn't fit their world paradigm. And that's what I'm talking about. I was like, going back to like how fragile is my paradigm?

1:55:39 Like how open are you to your paradigm being changed? Yeah. EMF will become mainstream for sure. Yeah. The thing about KPV2 is the anti-inflammatory effects are instantaneous. Whereas like BPC and TB 500, I tend to accumulate. So yeah, Gary says video content instead of word. My testosterone is an MCT oil. I'm currently on a small dose of red and small doses of TERS. And I really don't suffer from constipation. Do you think the MCO oil is helping with that?

1:56:11 No, typically MCTO oil will help if you take it orally with your digestion, but if your injecting, it's not going to have anything like gut function. Yeah, So your diet and nutrition and like minerals are dialed in then if you're not having issues. Yeah. Have you guys heard of the training modality of functional patterns? I haven't. No. What's a good cycle of B733, eight weeks, 12 weeks longer? I like eight-weeks. I would just start with eight week. There's not a lot of data on that.

1:56:41 It's an anti-fibrotic peptide that also seems to lower blood pressure. And so I think you'd be good for injury recovery, but I also think for people that are dealing with any sort of fibrosis, and then also higher blood-pressure, it can be beneficial. Seems to, when I've used it, to be antiinflammatory too. So I'd do eight, weeks and you could do like 300 to 600 micrograms per day. And that is it for the questions. and we're right at about two hours.

1:57:11 So thank you guys for hanging out with us on a Saturday. Always interesting and fun, to say the least. We would not exist without you, guys. Thank you for always hanging with, us submitting your awesome questions and being there again. I just want everyone to know in closing how grateful we are to go back to gratitude for you to be able to even have a platform to do this for me as a dream come true. And so thank guys so much, whatever shape, form or fashion is you support us, whether you use our codes at places, being on the email list, sharing this with friends and family.

1:57:41 And like we said, being in the Axiom Collective, I know we talked probably too much about that today. But anyway, thank you guys so much to everyone who supports it. It means more than you know that we get to do this. So thank guys for that. Anything in closing that you have? Thank you, guys, for joining. We appreciate all the questions. You guys had really good questions today, and sorry for the rambling. I feel like it was like a therapy session. Yeah. Questions, which I like those, but I know that's not why people are here.

1:58:13 Yeah, hopefully it helps you feel more relatable to us. I mean, I'll talk about like whatever people want. And I don't want anything to be off the table. So, um, anyway, thank you guys. We will go ahead and shut it down.
