STOP Feeling Old in the Gym: The Inflammation + Peptide “Healers” & Mitochondria Protocol (54 & Training Hard)

Why many people start feeling “old” in training—mainly due to rising systemic inflammation that builds slowly with age and leads to aches, pain, reduced confidence, and slower recovery. He shares what has worked for him at age 54 (not medical advice), starting with reducing inflammation through diet by eliminating sugars and processed foods. He then outlines peptide-based “healer” options he’s researched—BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and KPV—highlighting GHK-Cu for collagen, skin/hair/nails, and inflammation reduction, and TB-500 as especially helpful for scar tissue. He notes he prefers separating GHK-Cu from other peptides due to pH differences and often uses higher-dose TB-500 and GHK-Cu, sometimes combining BPC-157 and TB-500, reporting improved joint comfort, faster healing, reduced scar tissue, and older clients getting stronger as recovery improves. To further improve energy and training feel, he adds mitochondrial support with SS-31 and MOTS-c, which he prefers to run sequentially (alternating bottles) rather than stacked together because using both at once can feel overstimulating. He closes by directing viewers to resources and links: Instagram for questions, JAProtocols.com (short-form education and a protocol calculator), Cellular Advantage Academy (education with Travis Ortmeyer), Max Performance For You (American-made products with discount code “BIGDOG”), Rumble for uncensored reposts, and one-on-one coaching.Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.
