Saturday Morning Coffee Talk · With Taylor

0:03 And boom, I think we're live. Good morning, everyone. If you guys could do us a favor. I know there are probably a little bit of lag. Sorry.

0:34 We're good. Thanks for coming. I know we did it a little bit of a different time today. We usually do it at 10 a.m. Eastern. Did it 9 a,m Eastern because Taylor is going to like a yoga training thing this afternoon. So we want to do a bit earlier. If you're on the West Coast and you are listening, welcome. It's early for you. if you on East Coast, maybe still early, 9 o'clock. But thank you guys for tuning in today, I don't really have an agenda of anything I'm burning to Get out there, but we're definitely gonna take all the questions.

1:08 So just make sure you do the question. I did want to try a thing where it So I'm gonna put a link in the comments and I don't know if you guys can click that link and But what it'll do is allow you to go to like a green room and then potentially like come on with your mic or come up with a mic and video. So I don't know if that's going to work. I just wanted to give it a shot this morning. That link is there. And if you guys want to try it out and if anyone wants to come and ask a question, I want do that.

1:40 We will experiment with that and do it live. We can do that, but in the meantime, we would absolutely go through the comments and questions and start answering those. Is there anything you want to talk about this morning topic-wise before we get started? No, I think I'm good topic wise. So is there is anything that is in peptide slash hormone world that big news? I would say for me, because of last week, I did the WorldLink certification for hormone replacement therapy.

2:18 And that was a great course. It's for medical professionals and for coaches as well. I learned a lot more about progesterone and progeterrone dosing than I thought I was going to. and just how important it is for every woman be needing progesterone and realizing that like some of my post-menopausal women might be under-dosing pro gesterones.

2:51 Cause that was like a, I wasn't expecting that. So that's really cool. What would the dosing be? If the standard I guess is 200 milligrams a night. The standard is two hundred milligrams at night for perimenopause. They were actually saying that they will actually start some other post menoposal woman. on 300 and then take them up to 600 milligrams. And then it was even interesting, even like the perimenopausal women, they were talking about the women that have, while they're in their luteal phase

3:22 of their cycle, there'll actually up their progesterone amount. So some, most women in that premenopause usually take about 200 milligrams and that they'll actually bump it up to even 400 milligrams while they're in that luteurophase of their menstrual cycle. If they are a woman that suffers like, you know, that struggles a lot with PMS and luturophase of all the wonderful things that come along with that. Um, so that was really interesting to hear.

3:53 And, um, and basically they were just saying like just keep upping the dose until you don't have any symptoms until your sleep's getting better. Um, I think for me, like, that's something that like I want to experiment with. Um. Obviously with where we're at in life, you know, not experiment a ton with me with hormones right now. But I would like to experience, play with that a little bit too, just with myself and my linear phase, um, up in my progesterone.

4:23 What's the downside to it? Um it can. there wouldn't really be any downsides. I mean, it could possibly mess with like your uterus lining a little bit. Because it also will help with, if you're a woman who struggles with heavy menstrual flows, It will make the menstruation flow less heavy. So that's something that like- I think important point to note around women's hormone stuff.

4:59 Progesterone without estrogen, okay. Estrogen without progesteron not good, right? So I was going to say in news, the black box warning from the FDA was removed from, I believe it was estrogen therapy for women, not testosterone. I don't know if there is one for woman in testosterone, But from estrogen therapy and women, which I think in terms of moving the ball down the field, that's like a first down, because today's a football Saturday.

5:31 It's the first in the battle for getting more hormones to more people to remove that, to start because of the WHI. They went through a lot of that in that course. Yeah. A lot of that, how that was wrong. Yeah, so you have the WHI, which kind of bamboozled a lot people to think that hormones cause cancer. I mean, the general person, I think there was actually a survey done, a Pew Research survey, couple years ago, maybe four or five years, it might have been pre-COVID. But maybe 2019, and I can't remember, but I'd have to look it up, that half of women still believe that the hormones caused cancer,

6:07 And so in terms of the general public, because most of us here are not the journal public. That's a big win. I think it's, like I said, it was a first down, moving the ball down the field. Still got a long way to go because what did we not even talk about for women? Testosterone, right? So it is like everyone is celebrating for estrogen. Yay, good, whatever. But I thing in the context of doing that, a lot of women get on estrogen therapy and they don't even have progesterone which is not good. Or they do not have testosterone. Yeah. estrogen, and then no testosterone.

6:39 And one of the key things is that obviously Neil Rousier teaches in his practice is testosterone first, then estrogen. Yeah, we were actually talking about this a couple weeks ago. In your group, someone, I can't remember what the specific question was, it was like, why would you do testosterone And the answer is because some women may not need estrogen.

7:11 Most, especially postmenopausal women do. But testosterone will aromatize into estrogen and everyone is going to aromatize differently and you see where you land and then you'll see if you need to supplement with extra estrogen to get the desired results that you want out of your hormone. But some people don't need to. Some people have romatized enough estrogen out of their testosterone. I think you could make the argument that probably everyone will benefit a little bit from some estrogen supplementation. But, some women may not, and they may need not to, but either way, if you throw in testosterone, at the same time, it's going to be hard to see like where

7:49 your sweet spot is with the dosing, because you want to figure out the testosterone dosage first, see where that lands with how much that aromatizes into estrogen, and then layer in the estrogen based on like, okay, I feel like I got my testosterone dialed in, that's a good spot, but I could probably improve a little bit on the estrogens side of things, then layered in estrogen. Obviously, progesterone would be a part of that. It's always better to do that than to just get on estrogen first, which is not really gonna do anything. I mean, it will do something. It'll make symptoms worse, but in the grand scheme of things, we need testosterone too.

8:23 Yeah. So I think that's a good kickoff point. I'm glad to see that more and more people are becoming accepting of hormone therapy. And hopefully in the next 10 years, we see many more on that. The thing that I always say is men can kind of suffer They can get away with low testosterone for their life. It's not good, and they're not going to be as healthy, but 60, 70 year old guy, he can you get a way with having low-testosterone.

8:55 I think even some of those guys from that age group now have higher testosterone levels than men in their 20s or 30s because they were born into an environment that was not as toxic as the men and their twenties and thirties are now. So they actually naturally have a little bit higher testosterone levels than younger men. So the younger man that are 20s, 30s now, when they're in their 70s they are going to have way lower testosterone than the guys that in the 60s and 70's now. The point I'm trying to make is that a man can get away with low testosterone and kind of be okay from like a symptom standpoint.

9:29 Once a woman goes through menopause, she has two choices. She can suffer with zero hormones in her body and it will be bad for her in almost all cases, or she can replace her hormones with BHRT, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, life will so much better. And so I think there's much more of a need for women, like if you had a 62 year old woman versus a 60 year-old man, and you have to say like who, if only one of them could get hormones, who's going to stand the most to gain a benefit, it would be the woman every time than the man.

10:03 Not that the men shouldn't have it. But anyway, I think that's an important point to make as more and more people come into this world is just, Hey, peptides are amazing. They're great. But peptide will only, they're, gonna work best in the presence of optimized hormones. So, all right. That was 10 minutes of conversation. We can do much more, but I am much, more interested in answering your questions. And again, thank you guys for coming on.

10:33 It looks like there's a good amount of people coming on right now. Did anybody try the link? I don't think so. I posted it in the comments, but it could not be working. And remember, the comment is undermining not Hunter's name. Yeah, it's on Taylor's YouTube, so come to there. But I've posted an invite link.I don' know what it will do, to be honest, because we haven't trialed it yet, But i think it'll put them in a green room and then we can bring them on there But if you don't want to, we're going to go through the questions. My goal one day is to make this almost like a talk radio show to where people can come on.

11:05 You come off the camera, you can just have your mic, but you could ask questions and we just do a little five minute, three to five-minute talk and answer questions All right, let's get into it. I heard someone say that GHKCU would not sting as much as if you took zinc. Do you know anything about this? I don't necessarily know about the zinc, I've heard that, and I never tried it, however, what will help is if delude it down. Taylor actually has a video on the channel about where she shows you this.

11:35 Basically, lets walk from soup to nuts. GHK cu is gonna come in a three milliliter vial that is either 50 milligrams GH K cu here you go. Here's a good It's gonna. Come in. A tiny vile like this right okay, so It either gonna be 50 kilograms or 100 milligrams in most cases with GH k cu. That's what's commercially sold most of the time What you want to do is add three mls of water and that's going to fill up the vials now if you have a 50

12:09 milligram vial, that GHKCU is 1.7 milligrams per, or excuse me, 17 milligrams, per milliliter. Meaning that if you wanted 1 .7, milligrams which the dose is like one to two milligrams you would do 10 units, That's 1 point 7 milligrams. And that specific concentration, it's probably going to burn in almost all cases for all people, It's going What you can do, and I don't have this in front of me, is buy a 10ml or a 20ml sterile vial on Amazon.

12:44 They're super cheap. You can get a pack of like 20 for 10 bucks on the Amazon, And you'll have an empty steril vile. you're going to draw out the GHK out of the small vials. put it in the large sterile vial, and I would say add, if it's a 50 milligram bottle of GHK, add seven ml more backwater. So now you have 10 ml of back water to 50 milligrams of ghk. Now your ghK instead of being 17 in a fraction, milligrams per milliliter, it's going to be five milligrams, per million,

13:21 because there's 50 milligrams of GHK and mls of water. So for every 100 units on an insulin syringe, you're going have five kilograms of ghk. And now if you want to inject one milligram, that would be 20 units. And what that does by diluting it down, it makes it less concentrated. And when we look at GHK, because of the copper that causes the stinging, we're spreading that out with more water. So it's less concentrate, so it burns less.

13:51 It would have been good. I probably should just do a video, even though mine would be have to be on Spotify. We can do it on your YouTube channel, which you already have a videos showing how to do this. They can just look up the video. You did it with the glow, which you could do the same thing with. With just GHK. Yeah. But think of it like this. Think of taking a pre-workout powder. You can mix that pre workout powder if you did one full scoop and like two ounces of water. And if try to swallow that, you're going to be like, because there's not enough water, and so it's going be painful.

14:26 Much in the way if your GHk is not diluted enough, it will be I'm not saying it's still not going to stain, but if you take that same scoop of pre-workout powder and you put it in eight ounces of water or 16 ounces, all of a sudden you can sip on it, it tastes good, and then you don't choke on the powder. Not that you're going The point being is that like, imagine trying to swallow a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It burns really bad. If you dilute that down with 16 ounces of water of one tablespoon, of Apple cider, vinegar, it doesn't burn as bad and you can drink it.

15:00 And you get the benefits of drinking. Why are you laughing at that? Cause every time I take like like a spoonful or like shot of apples cider or vinegar you always get on me for not diluting it cause it burns. You can end up burning your esophagus. I've done that myself. We do it enough. Another thing that you can also do, and I would only recommend if you are very comfortable with having control of your syringes, you want to keep it in the smaller vial. You can withdraw the GHK out of the vile and then you could actually Just add a back water to your syringe so you can either take the back of the syringe

15:44 cap off get a different needle pull some backwater and just put it into. That needle into that syrange or you could just withdraw it if you're comfortable with drawing I don't recommend doing that if, you are not. advance and have good control when you are withdrawing with syringes. But that's another way you can do it as well, too. If you have it right now and it's reconstituted and you don't have the extra vial and don t want to mix it into another one, you could always do that as Well, yeah, or if you just wanted to fill up an insulin syringe with some backwater and then go withdraw your GHK.

16:20 That way, You're not like shooting the GH K back into the back water. Yeah, if anything, he would just leak a little backwaters of GHk, which is not cause any harm, but yeah, fill up like 30 units of backwater and then draw out 10 units in GHK, whatever you want to do to dilute it. But that would be the alternative. And then Savannah also says, why don't people just take DHK? I think she's referring to GHBasic without the copper. Doesn't it sting less? I do think it stings less, I've never used GHK Basic.

16:50 I don't know that you get as many benefits as the GH KCU and I'm not sure about the binding copper. It may do that. So it may be as beneficial, but I think when you look at it, probably the GHKCU is better, but it may be, and it might just be one of those things like the market has missed and we need it. But you can't buy GH K basic, not a lot of people sell it and I know it's not like a mass production. in the research world there's not a ton of production around it but if the market demanded it because it was better it probably would so we'll see i do

17:26 think we have someone that joined let me see if we can do this how do we move to stage if it works oh alexis can you hear us i can can I can't stand my voice. I could hear you. Loud and clear. It sounds like it's echoing a little bit. Maybe mute the video.

17:56 That way it doesn't echo and throw you off. Sorry, yes, I know I I don't have my picture on because I'm having my morning coffee and I Don't look as beautiful as you two do but um I just wanted to say hi and let you know this worked I didn't want to take up any more of your time, but the the that this work so you can see the link worked That's awesome. Awesome Proof of concept.

18:27 Okay, you guys are awesome Thank you. I am still listening Okay. All right. Thanks. Let's see. There we go. So it did work. If you want to click that link and come in and ask a question, it will work, so good to know. Very cool. Go back to the comments. Alright, let's go through these. Yeah, the GHK basic is, you can try it and see, I don't know how well it works because I've never used it. This is a good question. Crazy mama says, can you share what I did that blood went into my injector pen?

19:01 What do I do now? So this can happen. If you're injecting sometimes, whether it's a growth hormone pen or just a pen that you are making yourself on your own, you can for sometimes like depending on how you hit it, You might get blood that comes back into the thing. Yeah, if it is growth hormones pen, unfortunately, it probably unless you want to inject it. I mean, I don't I just, you have to understand that there would be some risk to like re-injecting if there's blood in there, if it like contaminated it or like neutralized the peptide from being in their.

19:33 But what I would do is if its a pen that you made yourself, just change the cartridge and take it out and unfortunately you probably burnt the peptides that were in they're because it mixed with the blood. So my guess is that they would have been denatured. But what I would do is just change the cartridge out. Unfortunately, it does happen. This happened to both of us before. And that's usually what i do. It's happened me with a growth hormone pen before too. Unfortunately, it's just, I think when it did happen to move the growth hormone pen, there wasn't that much left in there, thankfully. So I didn't lose that.

20:03 But it was just one of those things. I don't know for certain, but if I had to put money on it, probably denatured whatever is in it. It's so much a safety issue as it is more that it probably is just not going to work as well. All right. Next one, say, Logan Pebny says, Hunter, are you partnering with another research company? What's line next in your health and fitness career? After moving on. Right now, Taylor and I are still partnered with BioLongevity Labs.

20:34 You can use our code. We use TaylorW. Yeah, we're affiliates for Bio Longevity Labs as affiliates. And you can use our code Hunter W Taylor W. So that's the plans right now. Other than that, we're really focused on is just making the best content. My mission every day when I get up in the world is making The best Content in The world around peptides, hormones optimization, everything that we talk about. I'm really doing that. I have a lot of cool plans coming in the future.

21:04 We're working on one thing right now, like building a podcast studio in our house so that maybe we can have people here to the house and do podcasts and things like that, so I am really excited. I'm going to be working on is the Bimini NanoJet Eco is my favorite biohacking device of all time. I know I talk more about peptides and things in that realm, but it is literally one of the best devices. It's the $10,000 I've ever spent from a recovery perspective.

21:38 Basically, it's like having a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that's in your tub, so you don't have to have a chamber and pressurize and all those things. You get all the benefits of hyperbolic oxygen. in your bathtub at your house for $10,000. And I don't know the warranty. I think it has like a lifetime warranty, so it's not something that you have to keep paying for. It's a one-time payment. But things like that, that I can help bring to the world is- And it is amazing too, because you can, like everybody can use that. So like it super beneficial like for kids too.

22:09 Yeah, kids, athletes. Especially with like injecting peptides, you're not going to do that with your kids. But this is a tool that can help kids. It helps so much with Alzheimer's, dementia. Yeah. So like I said, my mission and focus is making absolutely hands down the best content, the podcast. I don't know if I'll get my YouTube channel back. But I haven't definitively found out if it's going to be gone. And if find out definitive that I cannot get it back, I will make a new one and just re-upload all my old videos to it.

22:41 The good thing about it now is I have a backup of all the old So if you're on my email list, you can watch all the old videos. There's a link in the bottom of every email to a Dropbox folder that has all of my videos, and you go check that out. But the reason I haven't made a new YouTube channel yet is because I might be able to get my old one back. And if I get it back, then I obviously wouldn't want to make a But if I don't get it back, I'll just make a new one upload all my content and then I will just start pumping out content there. But in the meantime I've been putting everything to Spotify and iTunes and that seemed to have worked really well.

23:13 I know it's kind of annoying because I think you have to an account with Spotify, and they probably put ads on the videos if you don' have the premium. I've had the Spotify premium for like 15 years. I had that since I was like a freshman in college, back when Spotify was a brand new company. But I'd been publishing Spotify, seems to work really well. People like it. And I think if you have the premium, obviously you don't have to worry about ads. but I would say for both Taylor and I, one, making absolutely hands down the best content, no questions asked in the world,

23:43 helping you guys learn more about peptides, learn about hormones. Yeah, educating. Yeah, and then I've got I got a lot of things in the future that I think are gonna be really exciting that are going to help bring hormones to a broader audience in a much more effective way that ends up connecting people with the right doctors that do hormones the and much needed thing on the market. And so I'm excited about a lot of things from that side.

24:13 That'll be down the road. that's not going to be like a tomorrow thing, but I would say stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, just focus on making the best content. Yes, we have codes at peptide companies that you can use and everything. So that is the plan. Savannah Banana says, I know this is a major generalization, but about what levels might a female want her testosterone to be? So your total isn't the most important thing.

24:44 Your free is going to more important. So I always tell them, you want your free to closer to 5 to 10, closer 10. And then you your a total to at least over 150. but we really wanna focus on your free. So like women, I work with women that feel great at a free testosterone at like a five. And then I have some women I worked with that have a three level of 15 and they feel too. Like I said, you just wanna shoot for that free score to be closer to 10. At least five and above as long as you're feeling good.

25:21 Yeah, I think first of all, when we talk about levels, it's much more easy in our heads to have a reference point of what's good and what bad. And I absolutely agree with that. But at the end of the day, It's about symptom resolution. Some women feel great if their free testosterone is like a three or four. Others can still have symptoms of low testosterone at that level. The light goes into it too, age, lifestyle, diet, all those things, sleep. But some women feel great at threes, but some some of them need to be higher.

25:51 Some women can have a 15 free testosterone. They feel they don't get any sort of masculinizing side effects. The total testosterone levels I would say are much less relevant because you could have total of 100 and a free of 10 and be perfectly good. You can have a total of 400 and a free of 2 or 3, to which you might still not feel good, and you may not be getting masconizing side effects. Does that mean you have to up your dose? Maybe, maybe not. There may be things that you can do intervention-wise to raise your free up.

26:22 But I would say, generally speaking, total, most what I see, and I'm not a doctor, this is just like what i see in, say in practice, that like sounds like I say I am a Doctor, in the practice of doing what we do, which is not being a Dr., which just helping people. I See women feel the best between like a 100 or 400 total. That range is usually where people feel good. And that leads them to be in a free range of 5 to 10. And usually the free-range of like 5-10 is where most people feel amazing.

26:55 What's crazy is most women that are not on testosterone, whether they're 25, 35, 45, or 75, a lot of them have a free of like a 0.3 or a .5. So just to give you a relative perspective of where most women are to where they need to be to feel better. Most women were walking around with a point five on average, I would say, and they needed to at least a five. If not a 5, atleast a 3 or 4. The highest I've seen a woman that wasn't on testosterone, their free testosterone was like,

27:30 was like a two and a half. Yeah, that sounds about right. That's the highest I'd say. I rarely see a woman not on testosterone over like a 1.5, and most of them are a 0.50. The funny thing is the range is like 0 to 1 or 0-2 or whatever. So if you're outside that range, they're going to say you are high. But most women, as we know with all things thyroid testosterone, most the time what is optimal is not normal, what's not optimal.

28:01 So that's where I like to see it. But again, it's one of those things though. Like if you get your testosterone tested and you're not on testosterone and say your total is like a 70 and your free is a 1.3, the doctor is going to tell you there is nothing wrong. They're going say there's nothing with you. You're perfectly fine. Right in the middle of the lab range or even on the high end of lab. And unfortunately, you could still have very, very bad symptoms of low testosterone being at those levels.

28:32 But most women, they do that. They get their blood test. Their doctor tells them they're fine. And then it's like, Oh man, what do I do now? Do I need, you know, like I'm depressed. I have no libido. Can't build muscle. Family member, their testosterone was like negative. Well, I don't think it can be in the negative, but like essentially zero and her doctor. Nothing to see here. These aren't the droids you're looking for. If anyone watches Star Wars, Taylor's never seen Star wars.

29:04 But it's like the first Starwars, they go up and they're clearly caught by the bad guys. And they use the force and he says, These are the drawings you are looking forward. The droid's, like, these aren' the word, whatever these are, the words we're looing for, and the like move them along. And that's what's going on. It's gaslighting. That's like the quintessential example of gas lighting. There's nothing wrong with you. And so most people suffer and they don't realize why, because they're told they are normal.

29:34 Shannon, what up, dude? Good to see you in the house this morning. Savannah says, where might want to purchase injectable grape seed oil? If you Google carrier-grade grape seed oil. The website, I believe, is Med Lab Supply or like MedLab Supplie Express. It's a medical laboratory supply store and they have a ton of stuff, but you'll see on the website. I don't have an affiliate code or anything. You'll see on the website that it will say carrier oils and if you click on carrier, oils, they'll have MCT oil.

30:09 I'm sure they have a bunch, but if for our purpose, you can get MCO oil or you. Can get grape seed oil, just make sure that. It's the carrier grade. You know, usually say USP pharmaceutical like US P pharmaceutical grade, carrier oil and it will come in a vial just like testosterone or just Like anything else like it looks like an L carnitine vile almost depending on how big you get it and you'll just pop the top and It has a stopper on it that you can put a needle into and so that's what you would use to mix it But yeah, if you wanted to dilute it you dilutes your testosterone as a woman That's you do

30:43 is just find out what oil the testosterone is in and then go get that oil so if it's an MCT oil get the MCt oil if its in grape seed oil, get grape Seed oil And you should be good to go. Says Taylor's might be a little bit more quiet. Okay. You might have to speak up. Taylor looking gorgeous and red getting crisp. It's all that she's ready for Christmas. I want to decorate so bad.

31:14 Everyone was just letting us know your thoughts on VIP versus TA one with auto immune. That's an excellent question. I would say both if you can. Get both, if we can, but I was, yeah, get both of you. Can. And I. Would say it kind of depends on the nature of the autoimmune disease. For someone that would have like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, probably Thomas and awful one is going to be better still would benefit from VIP. VIP if it's more of a chronic lung, chronic, if there's, yeah, something along those lines, which still could be autoimmune and VIP is a neuropeptide.

31:53 So there are still a lot of stuff in the brain that it is doing. But I would say if its more in realm of thyroid issues related to auto immune, you can only pick one, probably TA1. If it more a sickly kind of like chronic sinus infections, things like that. categorizes autoimmune mold. I mean, the thing is like VIP works great for mold toxicity. So that's, you know, as I'm talking this out, if it was something along the lines of like a mold diagnosis, Both would still be good,

32:30 but I think VIP is going to be stronger than that. I'm not sure, because I've had people tell me that if you're doing a mold protocol, you want to make sure you've removed the mold before you use the VIP. At least that's what the one doctor's info that I found on it, I forget his name, that has a protocol on, which I have researched before. They say you wanna remove the mode. In the case of mold exposure, That would to me be a given is like, get rid of the mold in whatever way. And I know there's like the detox that comes along with it, like get out of that mold and your house, make sure that it's not active in you,

33:05 and then move into the recovery phase, which still takes a while to get through. But yeah, that would be my thoughts. I would say if you can use both of them. Yeah, no, I agree. Zionic, what's up, dude? Any peptides you recommend for MCAS? My doctor thinks I was taking too much of a good thing and my immune system went into overdrive with rashes all over and GI issues.

33:38 I don't know when you say that you were taking to much a a thing, what that means. Like if you had an immune reaction to peptide, I will say when we talk about mast cell activation syndrome, Typically, the peptides are going to work best. Here's my hierarchy of defense. I would actually say probably KPV would be number one because it's going calm the inflammation storm that's resulting in the immune response.

34:08 APV first, thymus and alpha one at second. And actually, if you could use a microdose of a GLP one, not so much that it may like cause GI issues, but a micronose with the GLp one actually will help with a lot of the gut health stuff. I would say metformin would be great to add in as well to that. It's interest, low dose naltrexone would amazing for that because that's an immune system modulator. Thymolin would good too, that would more lower on the totem pole in the hierarchy of it.

34:40 But yeah, I would say KPV first, thymus and alpha 1, LDN, microdose of a GLP, metformin, and then if you want to do thiamine as well. I think if your doing those things, That's kind of like a multimodal approach to calming down inflammation in the body through the immune system. And when you do that, it's going to help stop that. A lot of people that have an immune reaction to a growth hormone peptide or immune reactions to whatever peptides they're taking,

35:11 a lot times they don't have those in presence of using those other peptids. Not to say that it's all the time, but I would say, okay, if we're having this, you know, MCAS response, let's hit those first and then see where we go from there and kind of do it out. But it is interesting, I haven't And this is just anecdotal. I haven't heard of anyone that takes low dose naltrexone that has immune reaction to their peptides. And so maybe that's, I'm not saying that it's going to be everybody, but I, just thinking anecdotally, the people that I know that have used LDN don't

35:46 get that response from their peptides at all. Yeah. To be honest, i've always been, been on metformin for years and been using peptide for I think metformin modulates the immune system to an extent through gut bacteria, which also prevents a lot of the mean reaction from peptides. I have never had an immune, like an MCAS response to peptide, and I've used a ton of peptids. And I'd think a lotta that has to do with using met formin for my gut. That was before I ever used low dose naltrexone.

36:17 What I'm saying is like, I am not a special snowflake or anything like that. But if we look at people's propensity to have their immune system activated because of what may be going on in their gut, that can affect how people use peptides. I say stress level too, because I noticed when I was experimenting with higher dosing of Sloop and taking more Sloot, like I did notice like those stress levels coming out more body, getting more injection site reactions of being more sensitive, and then cycling back on to obviously,

36:55 you know, stress, just stress also to with what we had going on with work like that can cause that reaction to in the body. And I think low dose nitrexone being cycled back on that, that can take, I mean that's made the biggest difference for me with immune, like with, immune responses. Yeah. Honestly I think if there was one thing probably, the KPV is good. I just love KPB so much. It's so underrated and it's like top five peptide for But the LDN would be huge and we don't have an affiliate code, but if you want to get it,

37:29 it's super cheap. If you get up from ageless RX, all you have to do is fill out a form and then they make you do like a little five minute zoom call. And you just tell them you wanted for longevity and you're good to go. They also have a lot of other good therapies on their Metformin, SGLT-2s. They have an SglT2, I think it's called BrenZabi. That's only like 125 bucks a month versus Jardians. It's like 800 bucks per month. And most of them, as far as I can read from my research are pretty close to like what they do. So you're going to get most the benefits.

38:00 Just a cheaper version that's come out. Because Jartians is the bigger one. Oh, thank you for that for the the episode on testosterone and mental health. I know it's one of those things. It's kind of like a, it is less relevant, I think, but it still relevant nonetheless. Just to me, not that I like, keep up with a lot of stuff, and it just doesn't seem like something that is thought of. The hormones we think of the physical piece of it which is very important, but we don't think about the mental and emotional aspect and especially that

38:34 like emotional resilience to things. It's very Important in life because how emotionally resilient you are to stress and life stressors. Oftentimes dictate dictates your future and your destiny and if we have the hormone foundation to that the same thing that might break another person actually could make us stronger and Help us enjoy life more because life is contrast. You know, it's not always going to be unicorns and rainbows Here's a good question. Does metformin hurt your workouts? I think that is dose dependent.

39:05 So if you took 2000 milligrams of met formin before workout, you probably will notice a little bit of impairment in your performance. But I the dose, if your doing 500 milligrams a day, no, I don't notice any impairment my workout. I just notice that I feel better. My gut feels better, inflammation is lower, or I recover faster. And so I dosing sweet spot with metformin. Yes, mechanistically met formin inhibits mTOR, which in theory would hurt performance and muscle building.

39:38 But there's also like the trade off of, okay, if I can get 500 milligrams a day, and that makes everything better for me, is that better than not taking it? And unless you're, I would say if you are a professional athlete, you might not need Metformin. If I was a Professional Powerlifter or Olympic Weightlifter, then I probably wouldn't use MetFormin leading into the competitive phase of what I'm doing. But if that's not the case, no. I am very active, very athletic, and MetForman does not hurt my performance.

40:12 still, I've still pretty strong. I'm not as strong as I used to be, but I am still very strong and metformin doesn't make me weaker. So mechanistically, yes, it does do that. But when we look at that, and maybe we move to a future where there's no met form. Maybe we have ATX-304 and we had SGLT-2s and don't need met-formins anymore, But I still think based on the data that I look out, based my personal experience, that there is a place for 500 mg a day. And I think that form is just also great for gut bacteria for especially with like candida.

40:46 I will take times off of that moment just in the past to see how it does and I feel better. Yeah. I don't know how to respond to this, but they said, my doctor said I need progesterone because I had a hysterectomy, I'm only taking estrogen. I guess the thought would be that if you've had hysterectomy that you don' need the progeterones to balance out the lining.

41:22 Because if have an imbalance of those, it could affect the shedding of lining, I think you'd still benefit from a nervous system standpoint, from the progesterone. And also too, okay, here's what I've asked the doctor. I don't know if you have symptoms or if feel good or not. One, just wouldn't be taking only estrogen in it, especially if had a hysterectomy because that means you had no testosterone. Yeah, and you have no progesterone. So I would demand at least testosterone for my doctor. Say, Hey, I have a hysterectomy.

41:53 My body is not producing testosterone. I need testosterone replacement. And then I'd say, Okay, well, what are it? Could my life be improved? could I be more calm? I could be in a better mood. Could I sleep better? Okay. Well, let's add in progeterones and see what that does. Yeah. Don't know why a doctor would say Oh, no, you don't need that. It's a hormone that's in all of our bodies, more so females. I don't know if you don�t have it and it's not showing up on your blood work, which I guess it wouldn't be because you had a hysterectomy,

42:24 I think that�s irresponsible of the doctor to say, �Oh, no, you I just don't know why you would do that. And especially when we're talking about optimization, maybe they're just thinking, oh, well, you don' need that just like, I don t need to eat every day, but I would not be as healthy if I didn't eat everyday, because I woul just be starving myself, and that would shut down a lot of process in my body. So I wouldn't I'd differ opinion, different opinions than the doctor. Yeah. But very good. I'm glad you asked that question because there's millions of women right now.

42:57 Yes. How did hysterectomy and the doctor puts them on estrogen. Yeah. And they wonder why they don't feel better. Well, no doubt you'd have two hormones that are not in your body anymore that your Is there a peptide that can help with vasodilation? High blood pressure runs on both sides of my family, and even though I eat clean and stay active, I'm still something I am managing as a 55-year-old. Well, first thing I would say is look at Telmasartan. That is not a peptide. It is a drug, but one for high blood-pressure, even if you just do a tiny dose, which would be 20 or 40 milligrams.

43:31 There is lot of anti-aging correlation data around people using TelmaSartans. So look at telmasartan, not a peptide. There is a peptide I haven't done a ton of research on and I don't know the dose so I'm not going to recommend a dose that is in theory supposed to help with high blood pressure. It's called B7-33. there are some companies that sell it. I Don't Know the Dose because I Haven't looked into it enough. that is supposed to help with high blood pressure. Also for a man, woman to see Alice at five milligrams a day helps with endothelial health and will help blood with pressure,

44:07 but I would say is there a peptide specifically if there was one it would be that B7-33. But I think when we say, OK, what's causing the high blood pressure, high pressure in most cases is downstream from insulin resistance. And so if we address the metabolic health, and I know you're saying you claim to stay active. But what could be improved even with that from a metabolic health standpoint? I would say do that and usually the blood pressure will follow. I know in some cases it doesn't, but if everything else is dialed in from the metabolic standpoint, what would it do?

44:43 And to go back to not the sexy answer, the GLPs, I mean, GLP's at a microdose, They're not a vasodilator, but they're going to address the metabolic issues that would downstream cause the high blood pressure. And I think that's why, as it stands right now, they are the greatest drugs that we have ever had in the world. Here's another question about metformin. Are you still taking met formin? And if so, using your Jardians 2, what milligram of that do you use? So I take 500 milligrams of metormin and 25 milligrams Jartians. You could split the dose up of Jarnians, But honestly, I just do the 25 milligram tab.

45:16 And that's what I use. So 500 milligrams of Metformin and 25 milligrams Jardians. I've been playing back and forth. and I've been great with that so far it hasn't made me get up and pee in the middle of the night and i usually take it but i'm usually taking it like four or five o'clock in afternoon so it's not like eight o clock to where it'd be closer to bedtime because that probably would make me give up more in Yeah.

45:58 And I like taking the evening just because I think if you were to just say, well, where is your carbohydrate meals? It's going to help more around those. For me, that's usually later in the day. So I liked it four or five o'clock in afternoon, 30 minutes or an hour before you eat dinner. I do well with that. But if get up in middle of the night a lot from that, then I wouldn't do it. Yeah, I would like to do that but I just naturally, you're a very deep sleeper. I definitely get up more in the night to use the bathroom, so it makes that worse for me.

46:29 But I still do sometimes, but if I do, it's usually like right. It's very close to when I'm going to get And so it's usually like, do you fall back asleep like that? Yeah, yeah. So if I have to get up and use the bathroom, I'm like get out, go to the bath, fall right back to sleep. Whereas you have trouble falling back sleep and if again, if that's something that is an issue, don't, it is not worth taking the jargon tonight, just take it in the morning. Especially to like with males, depending on ages and everything too, like because of. Yeah, yeah.

46:59 So some guys that have like BPH and prostate issues, it's not going to be the best to get a night because that's probably going make you pee more, which then it is going be more uncomfortable and then start shopping, peeing and everything. I don't have that issue, thankfully. not say that I won't one day, but right now it's good. But yeah, end of the day 500 milligrams Metformin, 25 milligrams of Jardients. And then I will throw in some dihydroberberine, not all the time, if it is a little bit more carbs. I just love dihidro berberin because it so good, I think it better at glucose disposal than MetFormin is but I don't think you get the gut health benefits

47:34 that MetFormin has. specifically for glucose disposal though, not for the gun, for a glucose disposing I think, but you may, it may be better for you. I'm just saying that I notice more of a benefit. Like if you're about to go to the buffet and you could pick metformin or dihydro berberine for your blood sugar, I'd think you'd pick dihidroberberin. You might pick Metformins to like stop the parasites from the buffets.

48:07 I've been there a long time. It used to be a nice restaurant. When I was like seven years old, it was a good family restaurant, and it's kind of devolved. Or maybe that's just, I think maybe you've evolved. I went there one time in 1999. Golden Corral is a nice restaurant. If you went there on a Friday night, it was packed. There was a line of people there. And it Was like nice clientele.

48:38 You know, not that it's not nice, clientel now, but I'm just saying, It used to be a Nice restaurant, we didn't go to my mom, three brothers. Yeah, you had three, Three brothers, whereas I had Three sisters and my Mom was not a fan of them. Resty Blades also says, what are good peptides to lower cortisol? This is a tough one because cortisol can be a multitude of things.

49:08 I would say if there was one, it would probably be like a girth hormone peptide before sleeping. So like girith hormone or a growth hormone peptide to help you sleep deeper, which is gonna help kind of normalize your circadian rhythm, normalise sleep patterns, then will help bring down cortisol. But in some instances, look, I've had instances where my cortisol is really high and it had nothing to do with any peptide that I was or wasn't using. It had everything to with my life at that time that had it measured. So I would say my first line of defense would be like a growth hormone peptides to help with sleep and help get better sleep because that's going to have things.

49:46 But it's hard to say that there would one that would just lower cortisol. There are supplements you can take I don't like it, but you could use like ashwagandha. There's some evidence around that bringing down cortisol magnesium also to helping with sleep. I wonder if low dose naltrexone would help with that just indirectly by helping you sleep deeper. But peptide first, I would say growth hormone peptides would be the one. Do you like running Tessa and IPA at the same time or one in the morning and one at night?

50:22 I don't like them at same. Oh, let me take that back. I would say that's the strongest combo of a GHRH and a GRHRP that you could have together. And it would be like, if you're going to take that, just know it's going work well, but you'll probably going retain some water. Neither Taylor nor I enjoy retaining water, so I don't typically run them together. But if we were taking them, it honestly doesn't matter. I would say to maximize, I'd take them and then just do morning and night of them.

50:55 So like what I would do is I will do 300 micrograms of Tessa and 100 micro grams of Ipa at night and then do that same thing in the morning. Or you could just do the whole dose at the night. I wouldn't do a whole dosage in morning, but if you respond to that, you can. But if I was going to break up the dose, I would still keep them together to maximize the chemical cascade that's going come from having a GHRH and GHRP together more so than doing it. But at the end of the day, we're splitting hairs. Like if you're using together, you take one in the morning, one at night.

51:25 If I wasn't going do that, that would I do. And I honestly probably from a convenience standpoint would just do them both at nights. You can do like 600 micrograms of Tessa and 200 micro grams of IPA once a night before bed and then be good to go on your way. But I would say play with it. The growth hormone peptide category is more of a personal preference. There's not a set way that you would see. Really, when it comes to all this peptides stuff, there's no setway. And that's one thing I want to make sure comes across in the way we say stuff is we're just giving our opinion on stuff.

52:00 I hate dogma. We have to guard against that because I think a lot of times, We always, the human mind always wants to go back to being dogmatic. No, this is the way. There's a right way and there's wrong way, I think to an extent that you can say that, right? But then there is also too, there are different things where when you've worked with enough people, you see that there no one way to, as one of my professors used to say, There is a thousand ways to skin a cat, and different strokes from different folks.

52:31 I know, but it was one of those things that came up that just used to say that like every day in an operations class in business school. See I received results of blood tests yesterday. Insulin level is one liter and see peptide levels 0.9 diabetes, but no sign. Everything else is fine. I'm 72 now 119. Uh, I would just need more this Belinda or Shirley. Just need that. Can't really do anything with that info.

53:01 Don't know enough about your lifestyle. If you're using hormones, if you using peptides, whatever it is there, just say the, the I don't know what that means by the no sign of diabetes, because diabetes is typically you're looking at passing insulin, you are looking A1C, your looking your passing blood sugar, but I would just say GLPs are going to help with anything related in that realm, obviously hormone optimization will too. Any peptide for tinnitus? Honestly, no. I dont know of one specifically, I've heard BPC and TB 500 help people, some people say SSW1 helps.

53:36 Those would be the three that I would try for tinnitus. But no, I think I probably have tennitus a little bit and I just ignore it. And I don't know if that's just from getting hit in the head so much that. I do have like a low grade ringing in my ears sometimes, but I. Don't really notice it that much. It probably is worse if I listen explains a lot. Yeah, it's, uh, probably it was worse. If I listened. Honestly, what I think has helped, though, is I used to have the in-ear headphones that go deep in your ear.

54:09 And I started doing the over the ear, the ones that the open fits shocks. Bose has some now, too. They don't go in you ear they just kind of sit on the outside of your year. I like that a lot better. The inside the year ones like the iPod, AirPods, or even the ones that are like the sport inside the ear headphones, they irritated me really bad and made the ringing in my ears worse. That's the worst feeling. I remember that feeling, I had that happen to me for like... From the headphones? No, like shooting a gun without any ear protection in and I have like ringing my ear for literally three months.

54:48 A lot of people like work on sound crews have that problem too because they're around loud music all the time. Yeah. Recently learned needed progesterone at 50, had a hysterectomy in 2018 when a PCP said I didn't need it. I learned I needed it still to balance the estradiol patch and I use in not sleeping well. Okay. So that kind of relates back to, um, the other person that said that their doctor, well, when they did need pro gesterones. Yeah.

55:18 Are they saying they sleeping better now with it? Meaning that they're better with progesterone than without it. I don't like patches either, but hey, that's what's going to happen. Oral is going to be better than the patches. I think injections are going better that oral. No doctors are gonna give you oral or injectable estrogen. Some might, very hard to find, but oral estrogen is gonna be especially better for women because it's gonna have more cardiovascular protection.

55:54 Is progesterone in conjunction with testosterone? For a woman, I would say yes. Yes. Absolutely. I think every woman actually there's a probably you can make a case with almost an age could be on progesterone. Yes. I've even heard of teenagers using pro gesterones and it makes your life better. Oh, absolutely. Especially if like you have a teenager that has, you know, really bad um, linear phases, heavier, um menstrual cycles. There are definitely teams that will go on progesterone.

56:27 Their doctors will put them on for testosterone and it makes a huge difference. It's sad for teenage girls cause Taylor and I talked about this cause we're going to have kids hopefully soon. She's not pregnant, but I'm saying that's like in our plans right now. That's important to us, and it's a priority. And we talk about like having a boy, having girl. This is things we're already thinking about, like what are the best practices for raising kids? I think at the end of the day, kids are going to be themselves, right? You can control the environment, they're still going have their own personalities.

57:00 It's, man, if we have a daughter, once she gets to like 12 years old, is like, I If you can get them to 12, then they're good. You know, like those are the tougher times. It's like get to them 12 and then like a lot. But then the girl, it's probably very pleasant until they are 12. I don't know because I didn't have sisters. And you had sisters, but like then that's when like the rage comes on. We're going to end up having like all girls, which he would be fine.

57:33 That would awesome. Yeah, but it's a very dramatic, very emotional. Well, I think what I thing of is that the default state for teenage girls now is anxiety. It is more rare to not have a girl with anxiety than to have one. And that's a multitude of things. It's phones, it's everything, diet, hormones. But I think for just like if you were going to say, okay, how many teenage girls were on SSRIs and birth control versus progesterone?

58:07 What would solve the issue more? protest. Like, it would solve it in so many more cases more. I remember there was a also probably make them more fertile. Yeah, but I Remember, there is a doctor, I'm not gonna say his name, obviously, who was speaking at a live event that we were at. And he said that he was taking his daughter to like, for one of the college campuses, or she had just gotten to college, and all the girls are staying there talking, he's listening from afar.

58:37 And he said that he literally heard the girls like all talking about what SSRIs they were on. And like bird control. Like it was like crystals they're collecting. Yeah. He said it just was so mind blowing to him. His kid was, like, dad, what is going on? Yeah, wild. It was wild, right? Altair, what's up?

59:07 I haven't seen you in a while. Good to see you here. Kispeptin and testolutin together or run separate, best dose versus KISPEPTIN? Um, I think they would be fine to have them together. I don't think testolutin is so strong as to really do, like there wouldn't be like a counter effect or anything like that. So I would think it would fine together, obviously, if that's the goal it sounds like of what you're using for, whether it's like fertility or to raise testosterone. Best dose for a Kiss Pepton, kind of all over the place.

59:39 I'd probably say most people settle at 300 micrograms. You'll see some doses as low as 100 micro grams. If you're new to it, maybe start there. Tighten it up. It has such a short half life. So if you did 150 morning and 150 night, that would probably be the best. Jim, what's up, dude? I think he actually asked a question earlier. I just didn't catch it. It was him. Jim from Chicago. Let's see.

1:00:10 He says, I I think the I know it now and expect it. Now, I would say for skin health for me, like with acne, just having breakouts with that. I will say injecting it into soft issue injuries because we think of it as kind of this like more Yeah, I don't think people realize how good it can be

1:00:40 when you inject it into a soft tissue injury. So I would probably say for me, skin health and then just the fact that most people always default to BPC and TB 500 for soft tissues, which is great. But I think in a lot of cases, Dr. Elizabeth DeEarth said this when we were in Vegas at the Olympia, and even though I knew it, it clicked. So BPC and TB 500 are helping drive angiogenesis and stem cell migration to an injury site, which is good, but they're not necessarily calming the, they are anti-inflammatory, But they not directly calming, the inflammatory cytokine storm of like NFKB and Interleukin-6 that are happening at sites that

1:01:19 there's inflammation. And they gonna work so much better if we use KPV in conjunction with them to calm the inflammation down and then allow them do what they do. And so that's why I think they're good. I wish more companies sold just a blend with BPC, TB 500, and KPV. That's the blend I was doing on my foot. Yeah. And that, I thing, to the question, that is one of the more unexpected benefits. Actually, take the BTC out. Just using a bond of KP and TB500 would actually be better.

1:01:55 But that probably just from me having just with the new experimenting with. The plantar fascia, my foot, cause it's gotten extremely better, like the last two weeks. And I think it was from running higher doses of TB 500 higher dose is as in like two milligrams twice a day.

1:02:27 Everyone's going to be a little bit different. For me, that's what I would say. What's a good starting dose for test sip? I will say for a man, so this is not going be what your doctor says, but for man I like starting at 200 milligrams per week and what you will find out from that is one, it's enough for a man with low testosterone to kind of get woken up, waken from your slumber. And if it is too much, you can always walk it back down. A lot of guys start with like 100 or 150 and it like, I feel better, but I think I could probably feel and they never get to that point of like the therapeutic dose.

1:03:02 The video I made yesterday or published yesterday talked about like mental health outcomes and men tracked the higher their dose of testosterone. Obviously within a therapeutic range, we're not talking like a thousand milligrams a week. But the lower the dose, the less improvement they had in mental health, although it was improvement, and the higher the dos,e the more improvement I had. And so I'm of the opinion 200 milligrams per week is a therapeutic dose like most guys are going to benefit. You might not need that, but what you could do is just do 50 milligrams every other day.

1:03:32 So that ends up being some weeks it's 150, some week it is 200 because you're just doing every day, so if you have 50 mg every That's what keeps the doctor away. An apple a day versus 50 milligrams of test sip every other day. There you go. And I say also, it's also really important if you are just starting out to really make sure that you're upping your minerals, maybe taking taurine, uping your magnesium blends because you know, the side effects in the beginning. Yeah.

1:04:03 It can help. Thank you for the kind words Altair. Yes, thank you. So next question, female 47 testosterone made me lose tons of hair. I tried pellets first, then shots, and then cream. Even the cream caused excessive hair loss. Thoughts? I would want to know more about the shots and what methodology you were using for the injections, because if the concentration wasn't right, it probably was too much.

1:04:34 In all cases, I think the pellets are gonna have that because we all metabolize pellet differently. And so there's gonna be too much at two, like too fast. With a cream, obviously you're gonna get a bigger DHT spike from the cream which is gonna cause can exacerbate hair loss. With the injections, if you could get a 10 or 20 milligram per milliliter concentration, you can really walk down the dose to see like what's the threshold at which you don't have the effect on the hair. And maybe it's just one milligram every other day to be like four or five milligrams a week.

1:05:08 I think for most women, that's not going to cause that kind of hair loss like the cream or the pellets would. But you might have done that with the injections. I just don't know how much you're injecting. Because a lot of women when they talk about injections, they're taking a man's concentration. They're injected like two or three units of it. And that still too much. Yeah. Like they need it diluted down for them. Yes. Also thyroid. Taking thyroid, desiccated thyroid is going help a ton. Especially if, and I don' know if you are taking it or not.

1:05:38 for anybody, if you're doing hormone replacement therapy, desiccated thyroid is a part of that. And everybody needs to be on that if are doing any kind of hormone-replacement therapy. That's going to help a ton with the hair, nail, and skin benefits. Yeah. and that's coming from experience too. Best fact, that what they teach at World Link as well too, My doctor said I can do a low dose of estrogen without progesterone.

1:06:09 Your lining sheds every month if you still cycle. If you want to, that's up to you. Yeah. People really need to consider Dutch testing before starting on estradiol. Certain pathways are blocked and they start, we're going to see a rise in estrdiol-based cancer. There's nothing to do with I think you'd probably say it's not an estradiol-based cancer. It's an estrogen-base cancer because there's lots of different estrogens other than estridiol, but I don't really know anything about Dutch testing.

1:06:42 Um, Taylor, my wife is complaining about hair thinning. I got her 25 milligrams sip weekly injections started two, three weeks ago. She's blaming the test. It gets the red. Uh, the tests could be too high. So she might be doing, she may do better, like 10 milligrams weekly, because that could to high for some women, I think like a 70 year old woman, woman. 25 is probably fine because they have no testosterone. She has post-menopausal. So she could be, she's probably, I would guess probably in her 50s.

1:07:15 I'd say again, cut that dosing down. See how she does with that. And then to kind of go back and also say, go in thyroid. Are you doing anything to help with thyroid function? as well too. Cause also that red is also going to make a difference on the thyroid. Yeah. So this is a very common, I'm starting to see this a lot more now, or people are saying that GLP ones cause hair loss directly.

1:07:46 They do not cause here loss, but what does cause her loss is. A caloric deficit over an extended period of time, accelerated weight loss faster than the rate that the body can, it can really handle the weight lost hormonally. which then impairs thyroid function and also other hormone production, which, then, causes hair loss. And so if you think about this, if your watching the video, like you have a GLP-1 and you're bringing down, down and down your weight, and what the thyroid is doing is it's trying to keep up with that and it cannot keep with the weight loss that is happening too fast and starts to down-regulate

1:08:22 as well because you are losing weight too, fast which makes the problem of hair-loss worse. It's also to GLP ones are so powerful at inducing a caloric deficit without you trying. And what happens is people don't realize, they just eat less. They don t realize like, Oh, I was eating 2500 calories. Now I'm eating 1800 calories, you don' t think about it that way. They're just like, oh, I just eat less and like weight starts to come off, which is what's happening. Like it's, it almost like you just take it and that's what happens, right?

1:08:53 Cause especially with the Reddit True Tide, you're increasing the amount of calories you burn and you are decreasing the amounts of food you eat. Whereas like with Cima, Cimo Glutide is not doing that, but Reddit true tide is increasing amount calories are burning and decreasing. And so like your having this like huge disparity that your body is trying to keep up with and it shutting down the hormones. So the GLP ones are not causing hair loss. GOP ones causing hair loss is saying that buzzards killed the deer on the side of the road. It is, they are there because of what happened before. And what happens before is the year ran out and got hit by a car.

1:09:25 They experienced trauma and that's kind of, what's going on with the body is your experiences like trauma for lack of a better word. of having like a caloric deficit alongside an increase in the amount of calories you're burning that then is causing the hormonal shutdown that you are seeing, which then causes the hair loss. And so the best thing you can do is use desiccated thyroid alongside of it. Make sure that your not losing too much too fast. A lot of times, like I was talking to Taylor's dad about this, he actually has like perfectly, without really trying, he hasn't done like high doses of

1:10:00 red trutide, but he's just used it, you know, like two to three milligrams a week over a year. And I was talking to him the other day, and he has lost 50 pounds in a, year and I think for someone that needs to lose weight, Like you could lose way faster. So someone could use like a hundred pounds a But if you're managing it that way till it's like one or two pounds a week, the body can kind of keep up more with that. But in a lot of cases, it is faster than that for most people. And I think that's relative to their body weight, right? Because like, you know, one, or 2 pounds, a weak for someone that is 150 pounds actually might be too much.

1:10:35 Like it might, might want to be slower if your trying to become like 110 pounds. If you are 150 lbs. I'm saying for somebody that was like your dad was probably like 280, 290. Yeah. You know. No, that's what he said. He's lost 50 pounds in last year. And so in a way, he's like, done it to the point to like he hasn't, obviously, is doing testosterone and everything else that we recommend. So he doesn't have to blast the GOP. But he has done in way that it's been very, his body has been able to keep up with it. A lot of times we're not doing that. I don't think that counts.

1:11:05 It counts for him. Because the reason I say it doesn't count is because it's better than nothing yet, but it does get the heart rate into zone two, which would then have the cardio metabolic effects that we want to get. We're going to have them on the coffee. Yeah, we'll show when he's here for the next couple of holidays. I think he has a good case study.

1:11:36 This is not a question, but I just want to read this. This person says I was a person that thought I didn't need any testosterone. And now that I'm on TRT, I look back at mood swings I had, depressed states I have. All this is gone now. I am more confident, more stable and good. Yeah, it's one of those things. I was kind of like this too, they're so like type A, get it done. Like doesn't matter, internalize your feelings. You would never admit that you're depressed and you might, it's kind like the frog with some boiling water, you don't realize it bad because you slowly

1:12:06 acclimate to feeling bad. And then when you fix that, like you look back and like, whoa, my life is completely different now. Let's see. No, they're just saying they saw a link, but they are busy. Oh, OK. Yeah. If you do come on, if you want to come, just make sure there's no background noise or anything. Probably also, too, what we need to do for that because of that echo.

1:12:38 Because that's going to stop. Well, I don't like echo is on our end. We'll know what's happening is it's coming through the speakers. And so there's like a reverb loop of their voice coming to our speakers that then catches back into our microphones and that makes the echo, the delayed echo. See how it was like five seconds later. If we had headphones on, we'd be able to hear and it is not going echo into or mics. What are your thoughts on B12 MIC injections? Amazing. I do them as much as I can.I love them. You can get them from SomaChem's.

1:13:10 They have a bunch of different blends there. So I think it's great. 120, Taylor 20 at SOMAChems, they have all the amino blends and stuff. Super good. And I love that stuff, I use it all time. Carnitine, you name it. The I can't remember if the mic is methionine and acetal, choline or carnitine. But if you're going to do it, I like it with carniting. What were you going say? We just use one of the new blends this morning. There's the tri immune boost.

1:13:42 It's glutathione with zinc and vitamin C. So I wasn't feeling sick, but I think it's good to be taking this time of year. Yeah. Those things are good take. And obviously, if your inject them, they're gonna get more By availability. I do believe AHKCU is more of a topical hair loss peptide. So that is correct. It says your audio has been kind of muffled. Oh.

1:14:12 Okay, they said it got better. Sorry, we're behind on the comments. Yeah. Let me go down to the bottom and just make sure that it's not. Just want to make. We can just sit here talking and no one can hear us. Because we are going through the There we go. Just going back. Yeah, we need to answer the tinnitus. Thank you, USA. Help you and your wife. That's awesome. I always like, you know, like obviously we make a living through like people using our coupon codes and people supporting us and through coaching and stuff.

1:14:48 But my mission, Mike, I was saying earlier with my content, i want you to be able to listen to any free content that I have. Like there shouldn't be anything that you have to pay me for. That's not in my free content. If anything, it's just access like inside of a group, you know, that would get more like one on one or like direct access in a community. But like I don't want there to ever be like, Oh, I have some like magic information behind like what I do. It should just be what you should pay for is that information put together in a way that might be more structured.

1:15:23 But I'm never going to sit here and hold back anything that I know that shouldn't be free. So at least that's my philosophy. Thank you guys for the support. It really is. I mean, I kind of like go overboard with it when I say like, thank you in the video instead, like when i'm making my podcast and thank your video and stuff. But, um, it really. One of those things like I'm, this is what I get to do every day and I love it. Let's see, Taylor, you look extra happy today.

1:15:54 Breaking out your Christmas stuff? Yeah. Particular peptides that may help kidney and the liver, SS31 and glutathione would be my go-to first. You could say Ovagen would another good bioregulator for the lever, but I would use glutothione first, yeah. SS 31. Also, Jardience, too, is going to help a lot with both of those. So I will say Jartience SS-31, and Glutathion.

1:16:28 Do I have a hard cut off for starting a new channel? I would like to, I was mentioning this earlier, to know if my old channel is going to be back or not. And unfortunately I'm just waiting to hear back from people on that. I guess I could in the meantime, just make a do one and upload my own videos to it that are out there. But then it's like, if I do that, then there's duplicates of the videos, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it would get get subbed rather quickly. Like it's one of those things like if everyone on my email list, like, if I make a new channel and that everyone wouldn't subscribe,

1:17:01 it will be back to like where it is, you know, so I know not everyone's gonna do that. But it could could be good. What's a good, what's good testosterone levels for a 42 year old male? My current doctor has me cut, has cut me off tests because I was totaled at 59 and free 20.7. I don't want to crash. That wasn't even feeling super great at those levels. Yeah. So here is the unfortunate problem. And we look at this because doctors, I'm not speaking for all of them because there's lot of good doctors.

1:17:33 But you have to understand the world that they live in. They live in a world to where if they have patients over the normal lab range, which is moving down further and further, they to report back and it puts them at risk from a liability standpoint and a malpractice standpoint, if you have a 959 testosterone, because guess what? That is more than you're supposed to have because the cutoff is 916 or 850 or whatever they've made it now. And so what he's going to do is say, well, nope, that's too high. So you've got to cut you off testosterone because you are going Cardiac event, you're going to have blood thickening, blah,

1:18:07 whatever. You could still have low testosterone at 959. Meaning, yes, that's higher than most testosterone. Yes, it's hard in the lab range. Your free testosterone is half of what it would be to make you feel good. And so if your free Testosterone is 20, You're gonna feel better at 30 or 40. My free test. Honestly, like my total testosterone sits around like a thousand twelve hundred and my free is like 40 but I've had free testosterone at 20, I feel way better when it's a 40. And so that's where this like, it is very nuanced because people don't understand, doctors don' understand like the free is what matters.

1:18:46 If your total testosterone was a 1700, but your free was at twenty, you still need more testosterone. Your total testosterone was 500 and it was 20. You need testosterone, So it's really sad, I would just say that it would be, it will behoove you to find a different doctor that understands and wants to do that, because there are really good ones out there. And one of the things I'm working on that will come in the future is a way to help with that. So, but yeah, that just sucks because it is like the age old tale of time, you know, of like, oh, outside the lab ranges,

1:19:18 so we're going to cut you off, which is really messed up. What I would do, honestly, if you had a doctor like this, I Would just basically, this is not advice. I will just go off my testosterone for a while before my blood work and crash your levels and then say, Oh, see, any more testosterone and do it. So if You had to play that game with your doctor for like insurance or whatever reason, just Go off testosterone like a week before you get tested, your Levels will be lower and say see I'm taking my Testosterone I need more because you do need More in this case.

1:19:52 A man or a woman? Man. Oh. Yeah, I mean, just silly. Silly rabbit. Looking to start SS31, but dosing is anywhere from micrograms to 40 milligrams daily. What is a realistic range of sharks? Yes, for Barth syndrome, the FDA recommended amount is 40 milligrams of intravenous SS 31. Do you need that much? Probably not. Can you do that? Yeah, you could if you wanted to. I don't think you'd need much.

1:20:23 For an optimization dose, one to two milligrams is a really good sweet spot. for someone with a more chronic issue, chronic kidney disease, severe migraines, something that you would say is more of like a bleeding neck issue that your trying to fix. Five to 10 milligrams per day is going to be better. Obviously the more you do that becomes more and more expensive and that does get expensive if you're doing that dose. But I don't think there's really like a downside to it knowing that you can go up to 40 milligrams a day and there is only benefit.

1:20:53 But a lot of people get benefits at one to two milligrams. So it's one of those questions is like, well, people say, like the FDA dose is 40 milligram. What are you talking about? One to 2 milligrams, that's not going to do anything. I have seen it in practice and theory and whatever that like for me, it works for other people. I know like one to two milligrams of SS 31 per day does really good things for people, especially when you're doing it over an eight, 12, 16 week period. But if you want to do 40 milligrams, knock yourself out, and it's just going to end up costing probably like seven or 800 bucks a day. And for most people that's, just not going be realistic, but if he can, Hey, I would do it.

1:21:26 So. Yeah, see, someone said they got dosage from the compounding pharmacy and recommended two milligrams to start with SS31. I think most relatively healthy people, even if you've got like, you weight you want to lose or things you wanna work on, two kilograms a day, one to two milligram today at SS 31, that's great. Doesn't Clomophene, HCG, and Kis Pepton help a man who has low T? It could, but it won't get you to where you need to go. That's like saying, will a bike help you get to the grocery store?

1:21:58 Yes, But I would rather drive a car to get there because it's going to help me get faster, get what I need done and get along with my day much more so than riding a But it's definitely better if you had a bike, you definitely would rather do that than walk for sure. So and clomophene, HCG and chispeptin do help, but they will not likely get you to a therapeutic range, nor would I say that those are long term things that you would want to rely on. to have higher testosterone levels as opposed to bio-identical testosterone that would be exactly what the body needs rather than relying on the feedback loops.

1:22:32 Also, too, there are, practically speaking, some drawbacks to encomphene that include vision issues. And so I've seen guys that are on that for two to three years start to lose their vision, which is not good. So there's not... Encomophene is risk-free. arguably more risk than testosterone. Guess what? No guy ever lost his vision from using testosterone, but guys lose it from Enclomaphene. There's also a lot of, because obviously testosterone is going to metabolize, get converted into estrogen, and there's a lots of benefits with estrogen

1:23:10 and eye protection and vision health. Yeah, I need the encomophane, the Hg and the kids peptid will is too. So those are all going to aromatize, but they'll they're almost in no cases. Do they get the free testosterone? I've if you actually have blood work on this and it to me, i've never seen someone on any of those compounds with a free testosterone of 35 or higher. I haven't seen there. There may be guys out there that do, But I'm just never seeing it.

1:23:41 Yep. Taylor 20 at Selma. Good to go. Do I recommend MCT oil or grapeseed oil? If I had a preference, MCC oil is better. It's just smoother, but I know a lot of compounding pharmacies still do grape seed oil. But if you can get a compound pharmacy to do MCD, they're now doing that. And also to tell your doctor that you want it from a common pharmacy that does it. I think strive Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy and they do MCT oil. So just say hey, I don't know if empower does they might yeah I'm sure they like just request it but You should not like if your doctor tells you you can't

1:24:19 get your meds from the compounded pharmacy you want My understanding is that's not true. Yeah, you could ask for a certain compound pharmacy. I would use MCO Oh yeah, we got Hawaii in the house. That's gotta be early for them. It's early you. 52-year-old male just scored 515 testosterone. Would you recommend Enclomophen to raise the testosterone? No, not really gonna do a lot for you, I would just inject testosterone, but you can try it.

1:24:52 I think there's value in trying it to see that it doesn't work and see how you feel. And I'm thinking clomophene is better than Clomaphene like you have less of the weird estrogenic side effects, but no, I don't think it's gonna really do that much. But you can try it and see. I say try and then inject testosterone and how you feel. The LDN site was AgelessRx. So just the word AgelesRX, if you go to agelesrx dot com or Google AgelsR x.

1:25:23 They have a ton of stuff on there too, in addition to LDM. Metformin, like I said, SGLT2s. Let's see. I'm just going through. A lot of good combos going on in there, so you guys talk amongst yourselves is really good. Yeah, I know it's frustrating with doctors. Again, like doctors are just people and you have to understand too, sometimes it may sound like I'm coming off like condescending doctors and I hope that's

1:25:53 not what it is because I don't mean that. It's kind of like if you. Have a bankruptcy lawyer, they're a lawyer. But if close on a house, that's not what they do. So, like, if you wanted them to do a real estate transaction, they're a bankruptcy lawyer, or they are a criminal defense attorney and you're asking them, to like do, do close-on-a-house for you, They can do that because they have a license to, but would you really want them do to that? And a lot of times when we're talking about doctors, it's the same thing.

1:26:23 Doctors get trained in a special field, And even if they get trained in the hormone field, there's still a lot of wrong things. So imagine a doctor that goes through, let's just say they do podiatry or something, or they're just a general care doctor and you go to them and want hormones, they don't learn anything about hormones. To blame them a lotta times, is that fair? Because they learn that and they just try to pay their bills like everyone else, and there are just people. So yeah, it's frustrating. But hopefully, as we move into the new era of people understanding this and more, there are more and More doctors that are getting involved in this because

1:26:59 they see the need for it and they're passionate about it. And I think some of the younger ones, definitely the young ones. Yeah, we'll do a really good job. histamine overload, oxidative stress, kpv, glutathione, both mix and dosage glutothione. Both of those would be great for a histamines. Dosage wise, I would do like one milligrams of KPV, 500 milligrams or glutathione. You could break that up into like 200 milligrams, two or three times a week, but that'll help too.

1:27:29 One milligram of thymus and alpha one would be good. Yeah, sleep wise, one thing we tried this week, I tried that dream catcher spray from Soma Kim's. Yeah. And that definitely, that, definitely. That definitely worked. Not that I have trouble sleeping, but Taylor got some, and I was like, Oh, give it a shot. It definitely works. I would say just like if you use the sleep cleanse, just be mindful, like because it does have GABA, it has melatonin. And you might be a little groggy the next morning.

1:28:02 Yeah. So maybe try it on like a morning where you can have like an easier, slow morning the day. I did one spray. Gabba makes me groggie too, but I didn't get too grogging from that. Can you recommend any online sites for women who want a virtual doctor who will prescribe hormones, including testosterone and peptides on the same site? Not right now, just because I don't know of any that would do it in like every state.

1:28:35 So unfortunately, yeah. But I would say stay tuned because that's actually something I'm working on to really help bring to the marketplace. That thing's going to be really cool. I am excited to do so. Yeah, Shannon, TMG actually great for hypertension. That's trimethylglycine, but you can absolutely take that. Also helps bring down homocysteine levels too, which is good. It's a great supplement to take.

1:29:05 What are our top five peps during winter months as opposed to heading into spring, summer? Or what are your forever daily faves? Put you on the spot, top 5. Top 5 during the winter. It's just like, I would say more so focusing more on immune peptides right now. So like either like Thymus and Alpha-1, KPV, obviously I'm using a ton of TB 500 right just to help with healing and recovery.

1:29:39 And then even say, I guess this is just a year round peptide for me, melanotin-1, just because like we're not exposed to the sun. I think using melanoton-one during the winter months can be very beneficial just for the mental health aspects of it, of that. And it just, it helps keep a little bit of like that, you know, pigment in there, not as dark as what it would be if you go out and lay in the sun.

1:30:09 But I would say more the immune peptides, you It's our dog that's really old, and he will stand up and then get back down. He'll knock into the gate, because he has to sit down on something. And so he'll guide himself down to like sit on the gates. Yeah, they're just so loud. Sorry. Then I would also say, typically, this time of year is usually not right now.

1:30:40 This is kind of more so when I focus more on putting more muscle on and focus more on like my bulking in the gym. So I would be using like Tessamerelin and just kind of like bumping up growth hormone peptides and using growth hormones or growth when releasing peptide, I should say, excuse me, and growth hormonal. But I don't know, this time of year, usually what I do, it's just a different cycle. Everybody knows I'm in more of a healing and recovery phase right now, so I dunno.

1:31:12 That was kinda long-winded, sorry. I don't think you gave five, but I'm going to do it. Okay. I'd say read a true tide, whether you need a micro dose or a bigger dose, read true Tide, SS 31 or Matzi. You could interchange those two glutathione. Absolutely. I don't know that I would put Milanitan in there, even though I am kind of looking pale because the sun is obviously, it's wintertime now, you know, I go outside. So maybe Milanitane one in the winter time for aesthetic purposes.

1:31:44 But then again, i would say that was more I'm much more using that in summertime, but I haven't made. I have an objective one for a while just because like I've not exposed to Like, even the same amount of sun exposure in the wintertime is less because we're further away from the sun. But yeah, I'd say right at SS 31, thiaminus and alpha 1, KPV, and glutathione. That would be my winter stack that was like beyond anything that would like that I'm trying to heal or fix per se.

1:32:18 And those are definitely like more of like the forever daily faves Can you explain the difference in blood work panel between free test and testosterone? So your free testosterone is actually what is bioavailable to be used at the cellular level. And so if you have testosterone, you think of testosterone. You have your total testosterone and a large portion of that is bound to a something called SHBG, which stands for sex hormone binding globulin. And if it's bound to SHPG it is not available to be used biologically.

1:32:52 So that's why it important to measure free testosterone, because what that is telling us is how much is actually circulating the blood that it usable at a cellular level. If we don't have a high enough free of testosterone it doesn't matter what the total testosterone is, it's kind of like if you have a house that's 4,000 square feet, but 3,00 of that square foot is filled with boxes, there's no point because you can't walk into the room because it is full of boxes and there is trash everywhere. So when we talk about free testosterone, that is the amount of usable testosterone that the body has. Hopefully that makes sense.

1:33:24 What are your top recovery peptides, aminos compound for heavy training days when soreness is hitting hard? I want to stay consistent and train more often without feeling beat up. Honestly, if you inject like one milligram or two milligrams of TB 500 after, even if it's just sub-q, I've found that helps a lot with sores. You could do like subq cartilax too, like two milligram of sub q cartillax just to help kind of like joint pain and stuff. I'd say those two would be my favorite ones. You definitely like I definitely noticed a benefit to the aminos as well.

1:33:57 And whether that's like actually helping or if it's just more like building blocks, but like some of the amino blends, you know that have uh, glutamine, glycine, taurine carnitine in them. I notice I'm less sore when I use those. Cause I, I inject a pre-workout L carnatine and ATP and botox creatine. It's like a blend, one of the blends. So I would say those are good, but any thoughts?

1:34:28 No, I agree with that. Especially with the, you know, especially like glutathione, it's just going to help with antioxidants, so it is going help. Yeah, that's a good point. I wouldn't inject it immediately after the workout. No I would not inject immediately, after working out. But if you're someone, obviously, who you are training multiple times a week, using ingestible glutothione once or twice a Yeah. She didn't have issues like that during her teenage years because she's a good mama.

1:35:01 That's why. Yeah, that's exactly why I should have made Jen go in the green room. Come on, Jen. What is the best supplement or advice to speed up gastric emptying when using Reda? Speed up gastric emptying. Magnesium would be, yeah, magnesium citrate definitely will. I always tell people there is a threshold dose of magnesium, citrates that will make you go to the bathroom. Might be 500 milligrams, might be a gram, it might two grams, maybe three grams.

1:35:32 But there is a dose. And if you can't go, just keep loading up. Not going to be pretty, but hey, if got to get it out, got get out. Also, oxytocin works great too. So oxytoxin will help with that. I would go to the magnesium before that, But if really need help, the oxitocins will as well. What ways besides desiccated thyroid might support thyroid function on TRT? I'm thinking of kids pep to 10 to keep the HBG axis working, which may indirectly, I would actually say, so that is true,

1:36:08 but having used it, when I use testogen, and I am actually using that right now for fertility purposes, what I will do is test my sperm pre and post-testogen because I want to see what that does for the fertility by itself to how well that works. but I feel like when I'm using testogen that I like bumped up my thyroid dose by like half a grain. And so I would say on TRT, there's documented evidence to show that testigen improves thyroid function, whereas his peptin,

1:36:40 I don't know that there is, but if it did, it would be indirectly, where as testogen does. So I will say testagen, if there was something like practically using it that I feel like has improved my thyroid, like not improved because it was fine, But like, feel I'm taking more thyroid when I use testingen. But they actually gave testegen to chickens that were Thyroidectomized which means that they had their thyroid removed because they wanted to see how they responded and they increased their Thyroid hormone with testogen with no thyroid So it is definitely doing something from like a pituitary level.

1:37:12 I guess that would help increase thyroid. So that wouldn't be my go-to Sad when you ate that chicken this week, I know it's one of those things like we don't want to look at like the Cause I don't like take any pleasure in the fact that animals are harvested for my protein source. But at the same time, like what are you going to do? You know, let's see.

1:37:46 55 year old man with total T around 800 free to about 20. Are there any ways to lower SHPG impact and naturally support free testosterone with jumping into TRT? I mean, I think that's thinking about it wrong because There are things, like you can take boron, you could take zinc, that will theoretically drop SHBG. But my counter this and I mean this in the most compassionate kind of way. What, especially as a 55 year old, what would be the hesitation around the testosterone therapy?

1:38:19 And I always tell guys this, like I was having a conversation with someone about this. I understand the hesitations. Honestly, for me, my testosterone was so low. It was like, give me testosterone because it's so I need it. My body is not producing testosterone the way it needs to. So I understand that there's hesitation, but for me, it was probably for 24 hours. I was like, OK, if this is a lifelong commitment, let me think about it. And I'm like yes, please. But I understood not every guy is going to be like that. And I mean this in the most compassionate way, like what would be the hesitation?

1:38:50 Because testosterone is in every human, it's in everything male, and we can use it the same way. And, I know this is a different thing, but like if our vitamin D is low, no one complains about using vitamin B. Vitamin D as a steroid hormone. If we have low vitamin d levels, we take vitamin and it bumps up our Vitamin B and they feel good. if we don't take it, our levels go back down and, We don' have this high vitamin b levels. And so conceptually or philosophically, I would say like, just ask yourself like what do my hesitations, because if I start testosterone therapy and I

1:39:22 do it for six months, if you're 55 and you start to testosterone for 6 months or 12 months and don't like it, you can stop and your testosterone is going to go back somewhere around the number that it is now. It will track with like however long, like if there was a decrease of your testosterone. Yeah, If you go off for two, on testosterone, for 2 years and then go it's not going to be probably the same level because your levels are probably going be a little bit lower two years from where they are from now, or at least slightly or marginally lower. But to answer the question directly, yeah, zinc and boron will help bring that down, but I would just say, like, what is the reservation around testosterone

1:39:57 as a 55-year-old that I wouldn't be worried about because I think, too, if people realize the amount of evidence, this is what I should do. I just should start going into PubMed and some medical journals and just start overwhelming people with evidence of testosterone having health benefits. And I if we were exposed more, not that studies are everything, again, I'm not saying studies or the Holy Grail by any means, But there are so many studies to back up how healthy testosterone replacement is.

1:40:32 And if people just looked at the evidence instead of looking at, and I'm not saying this is what this person's doing, but if they looked into evidence, instead looking it like hyperbole across the internet, like Reddit forums, social media, stuff like that, just look at that evidence. Like, let's look into the What do we have to show the testosterone is bad? What we haven't show that testosterone's good? Do we much more evidence overwhelmingly supporting the testosterone is good. I think you would probably change your opinion on it more so than just listening to hyperbole or listening platitudes that people put out.

1:41:08 And I'm not saying that all those things are necessary. Like there's not a 0% risk of using testosterone. But if you look at the risk benefit, I think there is overwhelmingly much more benefit than there. Is risk. And so again, not saying that I'm saying this in the most, please take this like very compact. I have to tell Taylor a lot of times when I talking to her, Please take, this is compassionate. Cause I get like so fired up about stuff. It comes across as intense and aggressive because like if what I am saying is that like, if people spent more time evaluating data than they did hyperbole,

1:41:47 then there would be less fear around this because there is an overwhelming amount of data. But again, to the question, I honestly have never seen someone's free testosterone that's not on testosterone over 25. I've seen it around 20 or 22. That's like the highest I have seen I think is 22, but never over a 25 and definitely never like a 30 or 40. Yeah, Dutch and GI Matt for my team when she was anxious and it was hormones and detox issues, nothing related to a serotonin deficiency, which oftentimes.

1:42:19 That is awesome. Thank you for putting that. Yeah. Or a birth control pill deficiency. No girl has a first control deficiency My mom has rheumatoid arthritis, sometimes wakes up and can hardly move, really struggles with her hands. Is there anything you'd recommend? BPC-TB500 would help. I think Cardilax would probably move the needle most, the fastest. Bpctb500, Cardillax. Metformin. Netformine would to help too. KPB would helped. So I would get on those things and see.

1:42:54 Oh, that's good. Someone said that Bidol, I don't know how to pronounce it, Bidal Medical does injectable estradiol and 100 milligram per milliliter of TRT for women. I would like to see the 20 milligram and you could ask for 20 milligrams per millimeter. 100 is better than 200. But that's good they do the injective estrdiol. And I'm a big fan of the injected estridiol it's just there's not a lot of people that talk about it or make it. 50 year old and have low testosterone. What are your thoughts on TRT?

1:43:24 I heard you once, once you start, you have to take it the rest of your life, cream versus injection. I would just say injection, I kind of just talked about that ad infinitum. So I'll leave, and I'm not going to ramble on that again. But again, like I said, if we look at the overwhelming amount of evidence and support, I have zero fear around it, but I've crossed the chasm. In my book, I talk about crossing the Chasm, and so many people, they can't make the leap for whatever reason. And then once they get on the other side, it's like, oh, man, this is so much better. Kind of like the comment I forgot who said it earlier, where they're like I didn't think anything was wrong with me, then I started and I realized there

1:43:59 was a lot. Once you start, you're not going to. I haven't had anybody want to go off and say start. It's usually if they do it's because they're doing bad stuff. They have like bad delivery mechanism, estrogen blockers, you know, things of that nature. 61 lost 50 pounds on tours, 62 to 10 plan on stopping tours. I tested my T levels and came at three 45 just started a hundred milligrams per week. That's good. Yeah. See how that dose does. You might need to go higher. Stopping.

1:44:33 see. Yeah, so if you pull out your grill and tie the first time in months, it was a gel blob. I don't think so I've had that happen to me before. Definitely with Tessamerela and definitely with AOD. I can't recall that Cagri, I did have that, but knowing the pH necessary for it, yes, i would try to add like 10 units or 20 units of acetic acid solution, which would be like 0.1 or 0,2 mls of Acetic Acid and see if it breaks it up.

1:45:03 i've done that before and it's broken up not with Caguary but with the other ones and It broke up and I injected it and was fine and they did great. So I would Try that and See how it does. What do you think about five amino injections versus oral? That actually I didn't. Yeah, I would say actually when I was talking about the top five, probably should have thrown that in there because it's so good. I think too. And I know people love NAD, but I'd rather use five.

1:45:39 Amino one, like from a chemical standpoint, It's like naturally elevating NAD as opposed to like, if we're injecting an AD, we don't know. Well, you are, but there's enzymes that chew it up. And depending on a person's, how, what, those enzymes are working in a. Which as we age, the enzymes chew up more and more N A D five. Amino is not supplementing with N a D it's a blocking an enzyme that chews up an ad.

1:46:09 So it was actually like allowing whatever N ad we have to work better. You can use them both together. I definitely would use both of them together if I was using NAD. Like I would take 5-Amino with NADA. But I get more of the benefit that I'm looking for from NDA from 5 Amino, if that makes sense. And you can do a bigger dose of NAD to like compensate for that, but I would just rather do five amino. And in a lot of cases it's cheaper too, than NID. You know, you could do it sub-Q, or you do an intramuscular.

1:46:39 But I definitely think that... Yeah, the injections are way better than the oral for sure. No, I was saying like it is a smaller amount you have to inject. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I like one milligram. Two milligrams for me is like the upper limit. If I do any more than two milligrams, the five amino is too much, too strong. I can even get like a little like, feel like I'm like hypo glycemic almost if I did too.

1:47:11 So I've heard people saying like five or 10 milligrams. Hey, if that works for you by all means, but like. Yeah. Well, it's the same thing as like taking two kilograms of red true tide versus 10 You know, you gotta take 10. Yeah, some people need it. I mean, four to me, 4 milligrams is a high dose of Retrogec for me. And that's just, You don't always need the higher.

1:47:42 That's where everyone's different. If you don, even better. But I would say just start low because you'd be much better off injecting one milligram. See how you feel. Don't feel anything? Yeah. Then touch it up a dose, but don' start with like five milligrams. I have total test 171, normal FSH and LH. I've been in classic hypogonadism. Should I just get on with TRT or mess around with enclomaphene, HCG, and kisspeptin? On red, I lost 60 pounds. Well, good job. Good job for you for losing the weight. That's awesome. Here's a couple of things. Like if you've lost that much weight a lot of times, like metabolically, there's kind of like a metabolic syndrome that's going to impair hormone function anyway.

1:48:18 But I will say this though, although my answer would be just go to TRD. I would say for me, because when I was getting tested and all this stuff and I found out I had low testosterone, the doctor wanted to see if raising my LH and FSH in clomophene and through some of these other methods would do what it would need to do. And I'd go on those and then come off and it'd crash back down. Now, in my case, my F SH and L H were really low because of the concussions that I But in your case, what's going on is that your body is producing enough

1:48:55 FSH and LH and you're not converting it into testosterone in you testes. And so I don't know that bumping your L H and F S H with those things is, it's not going to make you synthesize testosterone any better per se. If your LH and FSA were low, and like in my case, like mine were lower and I raised them with those things and my testosterone went up, I didn't feel any better, but my testosterone went and when I came off of them, it wasn't enough because my pituitary just would not make those enough.

1:49:25 In this case, you are making enough of those, it sounds like, but you're not synthesizing enough testosterone in the testes from the LH and FSH. So does blasting more of that make you synthesize more testosterone? In my opinion, no. However, I do think it's valuable on people's journey. to try those things to find out that they're not the end solution, but to see how they feel. In almost all cases, they are just a bridge or they even add-ons to your testosterone that you may use for fertility.

1:49:55 But in my case, it never got me to where I want to go. What do they say are the reasons for your YouTube channel being taken out? It doesn't seem like you're saying anything more radical than other people who give peptides info is actually bad. Maybe that's the problem. Yeah. In my case, I was taken down. So I had a lot of people don't know because it was a smaller channel. I have a video or a channel with like 400 videos that was deleted.

1:50:29 It had like three or 4,000 subscribers that were deleted in December of 2023. Maybe it did. But It was deleted in December of 2023 because I had links to research chemical peptide companies on there, which a lot of people with hundreds of thousands of subscribers have today and they don't get their YouTube channel. But I had links to research chemical companies on there. So they said I was selling illegal drugs and they deleted my channel.

1:50:59 Okay. Started another one in January of 2024. And that was the one that most recently deleted, which had like 33,000 subscribers or whatever. The reason that that one was taken down is because not any content on I never got one strike. I've never gotten one warning or anything. It was monetized. So I was getting ad revenue from, not a lot, but like ad, revenue, from YouTube, which if you're getting add revenue for YouTube your channel is in good standing. There's people that have channels that don't get ad-revenue because the content is, is like questionable and YouTube knows that.

1:51:33 And so they allow the concept, they don' t allow ad on the context because they dont want advertisers mixing with that content. My case was monetized. No strike, no warnings, know nothing about anything that I did. Obviously in my opinion, I think my videos are pretty dry and boring. Not to you guys, but like there, uh, don't cuss. I don' say anything bad. Don't talk about other people. Literally talk abou scientific data and information and my own experience with peptides. And they said that my channel was deleted because I had a previous one that was the lead.

1:52:04 Because of that, i am banned from life for YouTube. So my understanding, based on what they told me, was that my channel was deleted because I was banned for life, because my first channel is deleted. And so once you have one channel deleted, that you're technically not allowed to even, like, show yourself on YouTube anymore, is what it says. So that was the reason I If we're being honest, I think it was that I was being mass reported by groups of people, whoever they are. I don't know. Whatever it is, it could be like tons of different types of groups that would report me.

1:52:37 YouTube didn't care because I'm getting views. They're making money off the views, but there were mass groups I don't know where they're from or what they had to bug up their butt about me about that were reporting me. So that's my best guess. I can't confirm that, but that what it sounds like other people that have had their shutdown have that happen. It is what is, yeah. That's also the Instagram battle right now. Yeah, same thing with our Instagram. on there now yeah like it didn't get deleted but it got like strikes on it and so like people from my understanding they're like going and like mass reporting

1:53:13 old post of ours on instagram yeah and just hoping that one of them get flagged and then that way they stop us from being able to like post a message and do stuff on Instagram so it is what it, is i mean at the end of the day this is why again i'm not trying to make and belabor this but with our email list. I know people say like, Oh, sign up for my email is because they like want to sell you things. Yes. Is that part of it? Absolutely.

1:53:49 Like the great thing now is because I have an email list when I make a new YouTube channel if I Have to I can just sit on the email and say hey here it is go subscribe And if i didn't have that you wouldn't Have a way to find me and so that's why I say like if you're not on The email is just do it you can even just Be on an e-mail list and just delete every email And just you see it just deleted like that fine, but it Just lets you know like hey if one day when that happens when i have a youtube channel you go to it so And there's ways to like, we can, We can speak more freely on our emails than what

1:54:20 we cannot hear to. Yeah. I mean, I want more resources there, too. And that's why you know, also, this is why we talk about my group and everything, too. Because the group, I can speak more freely on that. Yeah. I would say that is the one thing, kind of what I was saying before, is I don't ever want to hold back information, but I will have to have holdback information if it threatens the ability to produce content on certain platforms. Obviously, it's hard to know what that line is, because in a lot of cases, I think if you go back to my old YouTube channel,

1:54:51 find me one time I even set a cuss word in it. And there's people that publish the most crazy stuff on YouTube and say stuff about peptides and whatever, and mine got deleted. But hey, it's OK. I'm not a victim. It is what it is, we find a way. How do I target visceral fat? Not cause so concerned about overall weight loss, but would like to lower BMI. I mean, directly, the most evidence of a peptide is testosterone to show that it burns visceral fat.

1:55:22 So I would start there. Yeah. More fasting, more cardio. Let's see. Taylor, you look amazing. What's the best peptide for chronic pain? I would say ARA 290 has the most evidence to help with chronic. Pain, but I will say area 2 90 BPC, TB 500, cartilage would all be good. But there's something that area to 90 does that helps like on the actual nerves to. Help with pain.

1:55:52 No pun intended doctor pain because that's her name and she's awesome. With HRT protocols, is it common to prescribe tests and growth hormone? Is there a problem running the GH continuously or five days on, two days off about cycling on and off every weeks? That's perfectly fine. Perfectly good to do. You don't have to cycle off if you want to, you can, but doing that five day on two day off is perfectly find. I'd do that pretty much year round. Yeah, except for unless we like, the only time we cycle all of it is if we know we're going to be like in our bathing suits or anything like that and just to help with water retention.

1:56:23 Best use case for MK777, not 67777, currently on 1.6 milligrams in GenMod, which is a long acting Pfizer growth hormone, 1 point 6 milligrams every other day, cycling 200 milligrams shred max to heavy kettlebell functional resistance mobility by way of max Jordians. You're looking, hey, read a 200 test sip. That's the God stack. But I would say if that, if had a place in that it would just be, to pump out a little bit more of the body's own growth hormone via the pituitary to help

1:56:55 to which I think you could use like 10 milligrams of MK to benefit with that and probably see some sleep benefit. That's what I noticed. So if there was any reason to put that on top of those things, it would be that. You can even play with like doing like one Like do opposite days. Um, I did this with the MK seven seven. Like I would take that in the evening and not my growth hormone next day. Take my gross hormone, not the NK seven, seven and seven so kind of do a rotation with that.

1:57:26 Yeah. So you, those, there's nights that you're not doing the engine law or the days, uh, you could just throw in, um, the MBA on those off days and be good. desiccated or desicated thyroid, the best place I know, if you if your doctor won't give it to you, it's telly rx.com t e l y r x. com. When you go on there, you have to put the state that you're in. Look for armor thyroid because I sent an email about that and I put that link in there. I don't have an affiliate link to it. I just put that in there and people were like, Oh, you're telling people to get T three or T four. And I was like no, You have to search for armor thyroid cause that's the brand name of desiccated thyroid.

1:58:00 So it's on there, but I couldn't put a direct link to that because you have fill out your state before you can go. Thank you that we are easy to listen to. Hopefully, hopefully it is fun and educational. I love making educational content that is also informative or entertaining, I would say. But entertaining the way that like if you're driving or doing cardio, you just put on the background and you learn stuff, but it's also enjoyable to MPP or DECA with TRT to help with joint lubrication, low dose, 50 milligrams, 100 milligrams weekly,

1:58:37 dose daily thoughts. Yeah, I think that's fine. If I were going to do one, i would prefer the MPB because it's shorter acting. So if you have bad side effects from it, from the NPP or the Deka, because some guys get like erectile dysfunction, it definitely will help. I would also say though, look at your estrogen levels. Because if your estrogen isn't high enough, On your testosterone, which I can run into personally, like that can be an issue for me sometimes, is I don't aromatize enough because I'm lean and my estrogen, I do better with a little bit of estrogen supplementation a lot of times.

1:59:07 And I would say, look at that. But yeah, the MPP and DECA can help. I'd also say like, if you want to inject two milligrams of Cardillac SubQ, that also should have systemic benefits to the joints. H39 on TRT, HCG and 5mg Cialis, but I've noticed mild decline in Lumbito. The last year, is there a protocol of peptides to help blood flow or help heal whatever is declining? Honestly, it's one of those things. I think a lot of people on HCG, sometimes HC can have like a reverse effect on the libido. Some guys need it for libito, but other guys don't do as well on it.

1:59:39 And so I would say like maybe unless you need for fertility, maybe play around with removing the HC, G maybe pray, play a round with something like proviron that's going to like lower SHBG and raise free testosterone. So you could, you can do that. There's a peptide per se. Obviously PT 141 can help and does help like psychologically a lot of times with libido too. But that's not going to be like a longer term thing, but it's just on testosterone. Honestly, we could spend hours and hours talking about like what is the, cause everyone like is different.

2:00:13 Some guys need HDG, other guys hate it for libidio. And so if you haven't done it without the HDD, I would say maybe do that and see what helps. I thought it was nice, but it's just my wife. That's what I'm gonna start saying. What are your thoughts on Kaisertrex WorldTest as an alternative for someone who's planning to start a family next year and is thinking of coming off TRT and keeping HCG in the mix? I think if that's the case, that is probably fine. I don't like Kiserttrex, but like if it's that case. But we'll see.

2:00:43 That's what I'm doing right now, too. And so that might, like, I would like to not have to use Kisa Trex or not to have come off testosterone. So we will see what that does. If you want to stay on TRTs, use HMG. You can use HCG if you wanted to, but HMG tends to work much better for fertility. And so like what I'm going to do, I am using Testigen right now, really because I m more curious about like the sperm equation of like how well that will do a sperm. Then I will move to Hmg after that.

2:01:15 I'll get it tested and we'll see what happens. If that's not good enough, then I ll throw in HCg on top of that too, maybe Kinspeptin, and then if that s not enough then at that point I l come off testosterone. But we ll see where it goes. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of months. I mean, you know, like, it is what it, is you'll be okay. If I need testosterone and thyroid therapy, which would you start with? First, I would start testosterone.

2:01:45 Supposed to start IPA today and I'm so afraid. I mean, I wouldn't be afraid of it. If it's by itself, it doesn't have the CJC with this. So there's like a risk of like having not going to have a nice and flush or anything like that. But it, if you are nervous with it it is good that you're doing it on a Saturday. Hopefully you don't anything going on Sunday, but again, like the mind mindset makes a big difference with that It'll be okay.

2:02:15 It will be fine. And you're gonna sleep so much better. I have not tried Ostrine. So I can't really speak to that. Thoughts on Kaiser Trex is a pre-workout boost, even though I already take hundreds of milligrams of test sip. I've never tried that, so I don't know. If you did want a free workout boost you would get testosterone suspension, which is like testosterone and water and it burns really bad,

2:02:50 but you definitely will notice it for sure. Why not use Cialis? Cialsis is about vasodilor, whereas if you take test suspension you're going to literally run through the wall mentally and physically, like you'll just be like ready to ready to kill. So we're see Alice is like, doesn't put you in the mood to work out. But when you start working out, it helps with your blood vessels and blood flow and pump and everything. Yeah.

2:03:21 I've been on test gen for almost eight weeks, only tested total testosterone. It went up from 419 to 47, almost thinking about trying testosterone through PCT zone. Yet you couldn't do that. Yes. Some of Kim's code is Taylor 20. Super shredder, which I think is called a different name now. I Think it's too much because it has the albedo on it. But if you like it, great. Just don't like injecting albuterol because that makes me shake the whole day. Yeah, I've heard hone is h o n e is good.

2:03:55 Masdutide, I haven't used it yet, but I've heard good things about it. So it's a GLP-1 and a glucagon peptide. I don't think it has the GIP component, so I would use retitrutide because I wouldn't want those three, maybe I'll try it just to see how I like it, it is approved in China. Are oral forms of KPV BPC5 amino any good? They are, they're not as good as injectable. Yeah, let me say the KVD and BPC are going to be better for like, um, just for gut mining and gut health issues.

2:04:26 Not going help with healing and recovery, any kind of like injury muscle. Yeah. What peptides would be a good start for women in their 50s to assist with hormone balance? I mean, I would start with hormones themselves, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen if you need it. And then the peptide are not going to necessarily do anything. I'm mean yeah, sure, you could take his peptid and it might bump your testosterone up a little bit, but not enough to feel good for the long term.

2:04:58 What was the winner mix again? For me, it was just Reta, SS 31, KPV, thymus and alpha 1, and glutathione. Those would be my go-to. Five amino, too, if I got six. Yeah. I think I said KPB, I miss an alpha one, TB 500, melanotane one. And I guess it's something else, but I don't remember. But everything understood. Yeah. Dr. Payne says, my sister loves cartilax. Very helpful for joint pain. Yeah, it's an underrated one. I would say most people don't even know about it.

2:05:29 So they should try that for a joint. Weird question. Really want to change my lifestyle. Want to get healthy and feel better. Suffer with anxiety and get worked up paranoid after I've checked it, I'd say, so a lot of guys that are on testosterone, if they're low on magnesium actually get like panic attacks and anxiety because testosterone depletes magnesium a lot more. So I know it's a weird answer to a question, but I would say like start upping your magnesium, a ton and then also taurine and also L-theanine too would

2:06:05 do well. Yeah. Liquid L theanin is amazing. Cause it super fast. And you can even take up to like 600 milligrams of L Thean. Uh, someone wants to know if they can post their hormone specialist. I mean, that's fine with me. And I don't want to endorse them because I didn't know them, but if you want, put it in there, I just would say like, That's not the endorsement for me if he put in. Yeah. Using Thomas now for one ran out a few weeks ago.

2:06:35 I mean, if you're doing one milligram a day and you need it for eight weeks, then that would be 56 milligrams. So that will be 5.6 vials of 10 milligram. Can I use copper peptide and imprimerol in the same protocol? You can, just don't mix them in same syringe. But yeah, you can definitely use them simultaneously or concurrently, I think would be the better word.

2:07:10 I've been on Mobik for knee pain from arthritis or peptides used to get off Mobic. We've mentioned another place on here that has it as well. I would say if you are having it and you have There is a special laser hair removal treatment that you can get on your face.

2:08:04 I would say if you have, if it's just like honestly one or two. I actually just recently asked my esthetician this on Tuesday, and she said it's not worth getting it done. But if you have a good bit, because women have it even prior to hormones. She said if have more than like 10, it is definitely worth it getting the laser hair removal treatment. That laser treatment is not going to work on the peach buds, but it does work for the dark hair.

2:08:37 That would be my suggestion, the laser treatment done. And I can't remember the type that she said, but if you can Google it, and a lot of, like, aesthetic hair removal places do it for the face. Also, GHK takes five. I don't know. Sometimes it definitely takes three. It will. And even topical GHK will also make it darker.

2:09:09 I don't think it's more active. Testosterone, for me, I like I like Sipianate better. I've used a Sippian8 and an Anthate, and Sippyanate has been better for me.

2:09:40 Yes, we have a group video out. Kayla probably has one on her channel. No, I don't actually have an entire video dedicated to BlueDion. We talk about it in different videos. I think mine's still on. Guys, we're sorry.

2:10:12 Hopefully it wasn't. As far as my myself. Yeah.

2:11:06 What about now? Can you guys hear us now. Anything now, it shows it is green when we're doing it. Yeah, nothing. Oh, someone said good. OK, OK. Yes, probably when I like it, switched it sorry guys. All this money on all these, I think we literally own three different small little mics like this.

2:11:41 They're never more. The battery dies. That one, this has literally been in a charger for like weeks. And so maybe it just doesn't last longer than an hour and a half. I don't know. I'm trying to find my place. We're not gonna be able to be on that much longer. Taylor's gonna have to leave here in a minute, but I've got a glued with my own video on Spotify that published recently. If you want to go on there. I mean, I do one on, coming up soon.

2:12:11 Control back acne while on TRT. I've dealt with that on and off. For me, honestly, one of the best things has been red light therapy and the Bimini oxygen therapy. That stuff like makes the skin on my back like baby smooth. So that's helped me a ton doing that. Um, because that something I've dealt with acne like my whole life and with the Sasha and I'd had like back acne, like on and off, but it's made it the red light bed doing like medical grade redlight and the oxygen tub has made a huge difference.

2:12:41 Yeah. Even at a very low dose, if a Maryland gave me acne and a bit of anger, that was crazy. I never heard of the acne. Usually it stops at helpless skin, Is there an injectable form of ATX? Not that I know of. Yeah, by far the most miraculous compound I've ever taken in terms of recomp went from 20% body fat to 16 while holding muscle once I added ATX. I'm telling people if they knew more about ATx, it's probably more expensive than sloop, but I think it is better than the sloop.

2:13:15 It's just, we don't do enough dosing because like the doses were a thousand milligrams a day in trials and most people take a hundred milligrams. But if you do like five or 600 milligrams today, I Think it, ssloop is good, But AT x I don t get the burnout feeling that I get with ATX, I don't get that feeling like with how I do a sloop. With sloop I'd get a burnout feeling after being on it for so long. ATx I dont. And I think it's also too, every person's gonna be a little different just like every persons a bit different with CJC. No DAC.

2:13:46 Um, I skipped over, sorry, cause I lost my place. Any tips on controlling nausea symptoms with PT 141? If you eat some food, it'll kind of blunt the effect, but it also helps stop the nause. Yeah. And lower your dose a little bit. You could try microdosing. I've had this theory that if you do like 100 micrograms of PT one 41, like every day, Like five days on two days off, you could probably get the benefit of it and it accumulates, even though the half-life is short, they would accumulate without giving you the. Nausea. Oh no. Maybe we could. Try that. Just micro dose it. Oh yeah, the injectable l-carnitine blunts the effect of desiccated thyroid.

2:14:19 Any truth to this? And if so, taking them at different times of the day reduces. I actually just filmed a video on l carnitin and talk about this. Probably won't be published for another week or two, but it is possible, But in practice, I've never seen it. And so if you are worried about it. I would say like space them out at least an hour from each other. But no, I don't think that it really has a practical effect. but I Would say, like, it's probably better to space the amount and not take them at the same time.

2:14:52 Like I Don't take him at same Time. Usually I take this kind of thyroid right when I get up and then I'll do L carnitine right before my workout, which usually is like atleast like a two hour difference. It's a good question. Why would we use MotC when we have ATX, SS31, and 5-amino without the complication of going hypoglycemic and basically the shock that people get from Mot C? Great point. And to that, to which I would say, you're right. Because I do get like hypo from mot C sometimes.

2:15:22 I love mot c, but also too, it's so powerful to me, especially if I did it intramuscularly. that I like those other things better, I would say. It's still good to use, but it's a very, very relevant point. Yeah, a lot of the skincare influencers get taken down too, because they talk about not doing Botox and stuff. Anytime there's money in something, if you have something that goes against it, there will be people that want you gone.

2:15:52 Yeah, I actually taught I forget her name. She's really nice. I talked to her. There was a lady that I talk to she like 300,000 subscribers, and she got taken down. And I think she just does private group stuff now. But all she did was like, she's just like had recipes for making stuff and like was anti Botox and you got a channel deleted. Very something like it wasn't like interesting. It wasn' like risque content. Yeah.

2:16:22 Let's see. Is there a calculator to determine how many vials to buy a complete eight week cycle? I mean, what I would do is just add up the daily dose over eight weeks, which would be a lot, depending on how much you do. But let's say it's every day, that'd be 56 days. And so whatever the Daily Dose is to get 56 day's worth of that, just multiply it like I kind of did earlier. Oh, thank you. Megan says she loves our emails. Thank you! I actually like put that, we spend a lot of time on our e-mails because I want them to be valuable.

2:16:55 And I wanted to like, use them. Yeah, like we write our own e mails. I don't hire people to write my emails or anything like that. Because it's not me and I actually like writing and i actually Like taking like I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff and like thinking About like how I can make people's lives better. Yeah, and that's what I use my emails for so that good to know that like When I there was a time where I didn't send emails For a couple weeks, which I won't get into why but um There are a lotta people that were like upset that I wasn't sending them because it was like a bright spot to their day

2:17:29 and to me that was Like a good reminder of like hey like this can Make a difference and Everything I do, like I wanted to have value in someone's life. Like I'm not just doing it to like, try to sell stuff to people. You know, we all got to live in the world, but I also like what's important to me is like giving value to. Can you talk about the importance of chloride salt versus iodide salt and the five amino lots of sites? So iodine salt can cause serious issues for people I don't know about that. So I can try and look into it. Yeah.

2:18:01 No, I'm not doing high dose SLU right now. I won't get into it because we're going to have to get off in a minute. But if you go back to the last live we did, and I talked about it for like 15 minutes of my thoughts. Yeah. Um, i think there's a use case for it, but it's just not something I would do long-term. yeah. Don't know a cheaper HRT that does insurance. Most of them don't even do insurance at all. most HRP doctors are not going take insurance Yeah, the sperm parameters, it usually takes most people three months to improve, but I've seen, I mean, we'll see what it does with me, But I have definitely seen like 30 days, absolutely like completely changed.

2:18:37 I think a lot of it has to do with the person and just how well or not well they're producing. So we will see. Like I've talked to people that email me and they're like, hey, I did kiss peptide for 30 days and my wife got pregnant, you know, when they didn't have these HMG too. Hmg is so powerful. It's like the, the big bat. Been doing peptides for two years. Mother started doing them big spots and redness, change backwater, new peptid, but I was still getting anything to help that.

2:19:12 We were talking about earlier of just like using some of the anti-inflammatory immune system peptides like thymosalpha-1, KPV, help with that. I like the 60 milligrams of armor thyroid. A lot of doctors will start you at 30 just to introduce you slower and then work up to that, so it's up You're in perimenopause with Fitzpatrick four plus

2:19:43 and our Mela melasma problem. Be very, very careful. Melanotane one, avoid it until post menopausal. Fair enough. I don't know. No, I mean, it can make me, yeah. Well, one can cause some people's melisma to worse. It hasn't mine. Um, in terms of like being afraid of, like anaphylaxis, I mean, what if you just wrote in a journal for like 20 minutes about how you feel?

2:20:14 To me, that helps me like get the racing thoughts out of my mind. Yeah. Um. That's been probably I'm, Hunter is very good about journaling. I am not always as consistent, but over the last two months, journalling every morning has made a huge difference. with that for me and I think that's been very helpful, especially dealing with my foot issue, stemming from stress and getting that out and giving those thoughts out, essentially if you're an anxious person, so.

2:20:45 Yeah, I'm not a life coach. I mean, could I could riff on that stuff for hours because I've read so many like self-help books and meditation and different like, you know, type of books like that. But in terms of like racing mind, it's not always a chemical thing. It could be like a lifestyle thing Also too, just being grounded outside. So like, if I get stressed, I go outside and play fetch with my dogs barefoot in my backyard for a few minutes. And I'm like oh, you know, life's pretty good.

2:21:15 Hopefully our sound's been okay since we switched mics. Want to start SLU for the first time. Can't find the hundred micrograms. What's the best dose? I think two, 200 to 300 micrograms, you'll probably be okay. But yes, please start with that lower and then work your way up. Don't start the big doses. There's places that sell it at those doses still.

2:21:45 I have thought about going on Rumble, but again, it's just very cumbersome when you talk about the type of content and like the workflow of like publishing and stuff. And I know there are people on there, But it is also like, I had to weigh the amount of people that will go to a platform versus like starting a new one on YouTube. Yeah. Unfortunately, like Rumbles doesn't have a native app that I knew of to like iPhone or anything like that. there's just, I mean, the amount of people on Rumble is just very, it's a good place for people that you have that follow you. But I have like a Dropbox.

2:22:16 If you're on my email list, like I had a drop box with all my videos on there, if you want the old videos. So it was like, almost would have more people in my e-mail list that would just watch my watch, my video's in a box that we go to rumble. And so like i'm not against it, but it just I like to weigh off like how much work I'm gonna do to spend on something to like try to do it. I don't know. We'll see. Uh, I can't get into like places selling ATX again, just because again I don't want to gate information, but they watch our content and we'll take us down

2:22:48 if we're like telling you where to buy stuff. So just be on the email list in the group. Yeah. 74 year old healthy woman on BHRT, recently had my labs done, ALT came back high. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on what to take to lower that. If you use injectable glutathione, it almost always just do 100 milligrams or 200 milligrams a couple of times a week. Almost always will bring it down right away. And also too, this is one of those things, you could be high if like worked out the day before or something. So it's not always like the end of the world if it is a little high, Plan to start a private group.

2:23:25 Yes. Just stay tuned. I'm not having like talked about it yet, but yeah, we'll have a primary group with just us. Yeah. Spotify has been really good. People are talking about rumble, Spotify's been good for me. It has the transcripts, it has chapters, which I know I had chapters on YouTube too. But yeah. Spotify has really been, I think if you went there, you'd be surprised how good the interface is for podcasts and audiobooks. Because they have audiobook on there. They have podcasts and everything.

2:23:55 And they have like a pretty good recommendation engine for podcasts. So if you like start to search for like peptide stuff on there, there's actually a lot of people that are publishing like good peptides stuff. On Spotify, they're probably on YouTube too. Like they were just double posting it. Um, but it's still good. Hey, Debbie, good to see you this morning. Hope you're doing good? She says my husband has high cholesterol, which is strange because he is thin, works out and eats so clean. His doctor will not let him go on testosterone now because of it, he has 63. Ironically, a lot of times the testosterone will help bring down your cholesterol. So he probably has high cholesterol because his testosterone is low.

2:24:27 And testosterone would actually like improve his metabolic health to bring do me. I was like, if you trust me, here's what we're going to do. He was taking a bunch of statins and I said, get off your statin and start testosterone. And his testosterone went up and his cholesterol got better. So again, it just sucks. Cause I know Debbie, you're in Canada and they're like so crazy with like how, um, how they won't give guys testosterone there. Yeah.

2:24:57 School's a good place to have private groups. It is. Well, I think that's it. Taylor's got a role. She's doing like a yoga training class today. But thank you guys so much. Again, this is a dream come true for us. If we didn't have to leave right now, we'd keep going because we had a lot of people on. So thank You guys. Thank you so guys much! We exist because you guy support us, so thankyou for all the support. While there's liking, sharing, commenting, subscribing, being on the email list, helping use our code wherever it is, that means the world to us and I promise,

2:25:28 like my mission every day when I get up in the morning is to bring the best content to you Appreciate that. Love you guys, each and every one of you. Thank you for tuning in this morning on your Saturday morning. I know you could be doing probably much better things, but you chose to spend it here with us. So thank you, we appreciate that, and will we be back next week? I don't know if we'll be like next. We're going to do our best to be Maybe we'll see if we do. We do announce it on our email list. So that's like on Fridays, I'll send out an email saying like, Hey, we're going to be live tomorrow morning.

2:25:58 And if not, then we will probably do one maybe closer to Thanksgiving because we are one weekend before Thanksgiving. Yeah. I will have my dad on for Thanksgiving time. That would be fun. All right, guys. Thank you guys so much. Have a wonderful weekend.
