Haas sit down with Liz Roman, owner of FitMom Functional Health, certified functional practitioner, co-host of The Health Revival Show, and the self-proclaimed (and trademarked) Poop Queen. If your gut is jacked, this episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Meeting Liz "The Poop Queen"01:51 – Why Everyone's Gut Is Struggling Today07:09 – The Foundation: Diet, Hormones & Stress Come First08:59 – JD's Gut Story & Where to Start Healing13:13 – Stomach Acid: The Missing Domino15:39 – Order of Operations: Parasites, Detox & Ivermectin19:40 – Rapid Fire: What Should Poop Look Like?21:28 – Prebiotics vs. Probiotics vs. Postbiotics Explained26:39 – Junk Products & Peptide Scams to Avoid30:59 – Daily Habits: Eating & Bathroom Hygiene35:27 – Fasting & Protein Timing for Women40:11 – Decoding Chronic Bloating43:10 – Liz's Personal Health Journey46:57 – SIBO, Candida & the Real Role of Antibiotics52:07 – Liz's Favorite Peptides & Daily Supplement StackWe cover:🦠 Why everyone's gut is a mess– Chronic stress, poor diet, COVID spike proteins, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental toxins are all converging at once– Spike proteins attach to mast cell receptors throughout the gut microbiome and cardiovascular system, shifting how the immune system behaves– Magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin D deficiencies accelerated post-2020 and are still largely unaddressed– You will never out-supplement, out-peptide, or out-hormone a bad diet and poor stress management. Period.🧬 The north-to-south digestion process– Stomach acid is the first domino. When it is low (from stress, aging, NSAIDs, medications, or past substance use), nothing downstream works properly– Stomach acid must be robust enough to emulsify protein into amino acids AND kill incoming parasites, pathogens, viruses, and bacteria– Always take betaine HCL in capsule form, never powder, the capsule protects it from being neutralized before it reaches the stomach– Low stomach acid fails to signal the pancreas, which then fails to release digestive enzymes, which then fails to signal the liver and gallbladder to release bile🫐 Bile is the missing link nobody talks about– Bile is your internal built-in antimicrobial, circulating through the small intestine 15 to 17 times per meal– It is your body's natural defense against SIBO. When bile flow is compromised, bacteria overgrow where they should not be– The liver-gut axis is real, anatomically proven, and almost entirely ignored by conventional medicine– Supporting bile flow with things like TUDCA is essential, especially on GLP-1s and high-fat diets🦠 SIBO, Candida, parasites, and the carnivore trap– Restrictive diets like carnivore can clear symptoms short term but also deprive gut bacteria of the fibers, polyphenols, and prebiotics they need to thrive– Parasite cleanses need to be a minimum of 45 to 60 days, not 7-day moon cycles. The parasite lifecycle is 45 to 60 days from egg to adult– Antibiotics take 6 months to 2 years to recover from after just one round. If you must take them, support the gut simultaneously📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Follow Liz Roman:Website: https://fitmom.coFree Constipation Care Guide: https://fitmom.co/CCGInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepoopqueen/Podcast: The Health Revival ShowJoin The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas get back to basics and break down two compounds people have been asking about. ARA-290 for nerve pain and neuropathy, and 5-Amino-1MQ for fat burning and metabolic optimization. Two very different compounds with very different objectives.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Show Plugs02:37 – New Podcast Format Announcement03:28 – ARA-290: Redefining Nerve Pain & Repair05:09 – Nerve Injury Stories: Sciatica & Back Surgery08:03 – How ARA-290 Works: Macrophage Reprogramming13:15 – Dosing Protocols & Cost15:47 – Nerve Pain, Surgery & Long-Term Nerve Damage17:39 – Tips: Timing, Sleep, Nutrition & Exercise22:23 – Side Effects, Safety & What to Stack With24:59 – Compound #2: 5-Amino-1MQ for Fat Burning27:32 – Real User Results & Fat Loss Data30:00 – Dosing: Oral vs. Injectable & Cycle Length33:16 – Zone 2 Cardio & Maximizing Fat Burn37:37 – Stacking with GLP-1s & Breaking Plateaus40:49 – Outro, Feedback & Next Episode PreviewWe cover:🧠 ARA-290 — Nerve Repair and Neuropathic Pain– First discovered and researched in the early 2000s, still experimental but with human trials– Selectively binds to the Tissue Protective Receptor (TPR) on immune cells, nerve cells, and metabolic tissues– Reprograms macrophages from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory, actually healing the nerve instead of masking pain– Used for small fiber neuropathy, sarcoidosis, autoimmune nerve conditions, diabetic neuropathy, and post-viral recovery including long COVID– Unlike painkillers, effects continue AFTER you stop taking it because it is healing the nerve, not just covering the painReal-world reports:– Burning pain dropped from a 7 out of 10 to a 2 out of 10 within 3 weeks in diabetic neuropathy patients– Mood lift and mental calm reported within 4 days (not the main intention but consistently reported)– Nerve fiber density measurably increases over days to weeks– Effects often persist 3 to 6 months post-cycleWhat to stack with:– BPC-157 and TB-500, NAD+, alpha lipoic acid, methylcobalamin, and B vitaminsWhat to avoid:– NSAIDs and corticosteroids will blunt the effects– Alcohol, high sugar, ultra-processed food, and chronic sleep deprivation all work against nerve healing🔥 5-Amino-1MQ — The Fat Burning Compound– Not a peptide, technically a small molecule compound. First developed around 2014– Blocks NNMT (Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase), which is massively upregulated in obese fat tissue and actively drives fat storage– Blocking NNMT shifts your metabolism to burn fat instead of store it, essentially injecting keto without the diet– Also replenishes NAD+ levels that have been depleted with age– In animal studies: obese mice lost 7 to 9% of fat with no loss of lean muscle while eating the same amount of food– Adds an additional 7 to 9% fat loss on top of GLP-1 results because it works on a completely different pathwayWho it is for:– Anyone on a GLP-1 who has plateaued, this will relight the fire– People with insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, it increases insulin sensitivity– Already lean people looking to get even leaner and enhance body composition– People with metabolic syndrome or NAD+ depletionBest stacks: GLP-1 (especially R), MOTS-C, NMN, NAD+, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Peptide Of The Week Website: https://peptideoftheweekpod.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down with Dani Carroll, a holistic health coach with 17 years of experience, Ayurvedic specialist, and yoga teacher. This one is not about peptides. It is about the thing most of us completely overlook that could be undermining everything else we do. Water.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Meeting Dani Carroll01:05 – Dani's Autoimmune Story & Failed Treatments07:00 – Discovering the Water That Changed Everything11:11 – First Results: Brain Fog, Joint Pain & Skin13:00 – Testing It on Her Skeptical Parents17:56 – Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Water?19:17 – The Truth About Tap & Bottled Water25:44 – How Bottled Water Degrades in Transit27:47 – RO & Distilled Water: The Mineral Problem29:46 – Understanding pH & the Alkaline Water Scam34:06 – JD's GERD & Gut Health Case Study41:19 – Chlorine, Showers & Skin Absorption50:04 – How the Machine's Settings & Hydrogen Water Work1:14:04 – Checking Your Own Tap Water (EWG Database)1:21:13 – Five Rules for Drinking Water & OutroWe cover:💧 Dani's story– Autoimmune disease surfaced at 16, misdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, full body joint pain and monthly skin peeling episodes– Spent years going through every elimination diet, raw vegan, autoimmune paleo, nothing lasted beyond 90 days– Gut microbiome destroyed by antibiotics prescribed by doctors who never addressed the root cause– Discovered structured alkaline water during postpartum depression, within 45 days her skin stopped peeling for the first time in years– 90 days in she was glowing. Her father lost weight, eliminated gout, and cleared acid reflux within months🧬 Why water matters more than food– You can survive 40 days without food. You die in 3 days without water. Yet nobody talks about water quality– Tap water contains chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, forever chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides– The chemicals in tap water are often added to protect aging city pipes, not to clean your water– Water softeners add salt or potassium to protect your pipes, they are not designed to be consumed– RO filtered water strips all minerals. Drinking it long term leaches minerals from your bones, causing bone density loss and eventually osteoporosis– Plastic bottled water is dead water that sits in your stomach, does not absorb properly, and leaches microplastics🚿 Your shower is a bigger problem than you think– You absorb approximately one liter of water through your skin during a 10 to 15 minute hot shower– Pores open in hot water, you inhale chlorine vapor, and your body absorbs it allThe 7 pH settings explained:– 2.5 pH (hypochlorous acid): kills E. coli, MRSA, and bacteria. Use to sanitize meat, surfaces, and as mouthwash– 11.5 pH (strong alkaline): veggie wash, makeup remover, skin treatment, poison ivy compress, eczema protocol. Neutralizes pesticides and herbicides which are designed to be water resistant– 6.0 pH (beauty water): matches your skin and hair pH of 6.4. Use to wash your face and hair, works as a leave-in conditioner without stripping natural oils– 7.0 pH (neutral): neutral rinse water for cooking and final food rinse– 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 pH: drinking water levels depending on your health goals and toleranceFollow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Follow Dani Carroll:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rawsomeyoga/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rawsomeyogaJoin The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas cover why SS-31 has been a game changer for JD, how to properly sequence the mitochondrial stack, NAD reactions and replacements, when to come off R, building muscle at 12% body fat, fertility protocols while on TRT, and whether you really need to plan your protocols a year in advance.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Personal Health Updates03:06 – SS-31 & Finding the Right Protocol06:04 – Disneyland Trip & Kids' Sports Talk13:48 – Warrior Makers Coaching Program Launch18:37 – School Platform Updates & Podcast Feedback21:58 – Q&A: Sleep, Hormones & Energy for a Busy Mum34:15 – Q&A: Major Weight Loss & a Bad NAD Reaction39:07 – Q&A: Peptide Storage & Condensation41:50 – Q&A: SS-31, MOTS-C & NAD Sequencing49:31 – Q&A: Coming Off Retatrutide's Maintenance Dose55:22 – Q&A: TRT & Fertility Protocols1:08:14 – Q&A: Gut Health Flare-Up & Peptide Pause1:14:53 – Q&A: Runner Wanting Muscle Over Fat Loss1:21:14 – Q&A: Building a Smart Annual Peptide Plan1:29:13 – Outro & Coaching Call DetailsWe cover:• Why JD Is Feeling the Best He Has in Years: Why higher-dose SS-31 gets the credit, why less compounds often means feeling better, and why starting with two compounds and adding slowly is the smarter approach• NAD Allergy What to Do Instead: Why reactions to NAD may come from the compound itself not just contamination, why SS-31 at five-plus megs is the closest alternative, and why blood work and hormone optimization should come first at 35• Peptide Storage and Condensation on Vials: Why condensation on the outside of a vial does not mean moisture got inside, and why a dedicated mini fridge beats any canister solution• Mitochondrial Stack SS-31, MOTS-C and NAD Sequenced Properly: Why SS-31 plugs the holes before MOTS-C revs the engine, why quarterly month-long SS-31 cycles make sense, and why NAD can run anytime regardless• 42-Year-Old Australian Female Should You Come Off R: Why she probably doesn't need it at all, why 5-Amino-1-MQ and SLU-PP-332 are the right replacements, and why discipline is a better long-term tool than any GLP• Fertility Protocol at 33 While Trying for a Baby: Why TRT doesn't have to stop, why HCG and Kisspeptin together improve fertility odds, and why Enclomiphene is the smarter choice over standard Clomid• Building Muscle at 12% Body Fat and Running 60-70 Miles a Week: Why all that running is burning off the muscle she's trying to build, why cutting back to HIIT and lifting heavy is the real answer, and why low-dose testosterone may matter more than any IGF-1• Total T of 420 at 43 Is It Time for TRT: Why 420 with low energy is answer enough, why TRT will change his life, and why planning protocols a full year out is overrated for most people• How to Build a Smart Annual Protocol Without Overcomplicating It: Why JD and Will plan four months at a time, why trying too many compounds at once tells you nothing, and why the gateway compounds R and BPC are always the right starting point📌 Subscribe for weekly, no-fluff protocols, dosing guidance, and real-world results.You're a warrior.

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down virtually with Dr. Ksenia, known as Dr. K, a functional medicine doctor based in Miami who specializes in hormone replacement therapy, peptides, and weight loss. This one is packed with real clinical insight, especially for the ladies.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Welcoming Dr. K01:34 – Her Specialties: HRT, Peptides & Weight Loss02:34 – Why Hormones Are Crashing in Young Men05:57 – Why Doctors Skip Free Testosterone Testing08:38 – Sleep, Food & Exercise: The Real Fix09:48 – Women's Hormone Symptoms & Menopause Myths14:07 – Finding Your Testosterone "Sweet Spot"19:00 – Cream vs. Injection & What "Normal" Really Means25:30 – Retatrutide vs. Tirzepatide for Inflammation27:21 – Peptides for Athletes & Why BPC Is Banned31:09 – Overhyped Peptides: MOTS-c, SS-31 & IGF-1 LR339:41 – The Ideal Longevity Stack & Real Healing Stories49:42 – Muscle as the Foundation of Healthy Aging54:53 – Fasting, Gut Health & Psychedelics1:04:40 – Fertility Q&A, Dr. K's Personal Stack & OutroWe cover:🧬 Why hormones are crashing in young people– Post-COVID, many men saw testosterone drop significantly, viral illness and vaccines both suspected but no confirmed research yet– Athletes with concussion histories frequently present with low testosterone due to trauma-induced endocrine dysfunction– Excess body fat aromatizes testosterone into estrogen, tanking levels even in young men– Free testosterone is the most important marker, not total, and most insurance doctors never run it– A 12-minute appointment cannot solve a hormone problem, personalized medicine is the only answer🦋 Women and hormones, the orchestra– Women are not one hormone, they are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol all working together– Low estrogen symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings– Low progesterone symptoms: inability to stay asleep, anxiety, restlessness– Low testosterone symptoms: zero libido, no motivation, no desire to train– SSRIs are being prescribed for menopausal symptoms instead of hormones, which kills libido and solves nothing– Menopause raises cholesterol because the liver keeps making it to synthesize hormones that are no longer being produced. Giving statins instead of hormones is the wrong answer– Dr. K injects herself with 2 to 3mg of testosterone twice weekly and felt dramatically better within three weeks💉 Testosterone for women– Injectable testosterone at 10 to 15mg is well within normal female range and will not cause masculinization– Creams work but require a higher concentration to hit therapeutic dose– Compounded injectable estrogen (estrogen cypionate) is an option now that patch shortages are happening– Pellets are not recommended by Dr. K, injectables or creams only– Always monitor labs and adjust based on individual response🔬 SS-31 vs MOTS-c, setting the record straight– MOTS-c does not create more mitochondria, it reroutes energy. Dr. K has reviewed 80% of MOTS-c studies and finds no evidence it makes more mitochondria– SS-31 stabilizes cardiolipin in the mitochondrial membrane, which is how ATP production is stabilized. This is the real deal– Every person over 40 should consider SS-31 for longevityFollow us on social media:Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Follow Dr. K:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kseniamiami/About Dr. K: https://kseniapetrushkina.com/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity

Haas sit down with their personal functional medicine doctor and longtime friend, Dr. Scott Collie, for a deep dive into blood work, cardiovascular health, gut health, thyroid, and what actually matters when you are running gear or peptides.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Dr. Scott & Talking Real Food (Italy Recap) 05:29 – The Truth About "Running Gear" 06:15 – TRT vs. Steroid Cycles Explained 10:22 – Why Bloodwork Timing Matters On vs. Off Cycle 12:58 – Blood Sugar, Insulin & GLP-1s 17:45 – Kidney, Liver & Iron Health Markers 22:25 – Understanding Cholesterol: LDL, HDL & VLDL 27:31 – Thyroid Health & Hashimoto's 30:06 – Homocysteine & Methylation 35:13 – Rapid Weight Loss & Gallbladder Risks 39:16 – Inflammatory Markers & Heart Damage Warning Signs 46:02 – Top Supplements & Peptides for Cycle Support 53:41 – Cycle Timing & When to Test Blood 1:01:51 – Hydration & Final Thoughts 1:06:07 – Outro & Where to Find Dr. ScottWe cover:🩺What functional medicine actually looks at– Standard doctor panels are a snapshot, not a full picture– Dr. Scott runs up to 75 markers including cardiovascular, inflammatory, kidney, thyroid, and gut markers– Most insurance doctors stop at LDL and HDL, missing the full story completely– You need particle size, not just cholesterol weight, to understand your true cardiovascular risk🫀 Cardiovascular markers that matter– APOB: umbrella marker for all arteriosclerotic particles including VLDL, LDL, and IDL– Particle size is critical: anabolic steroids shift particles to small dense LDL, the type that sticks and clogs arteries– Myeloperoxidase and LP-PLA2: direct markers of vascular inflammation most doctors never run– Triglycerides plus elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT) almost always means fatty liver, no ultrasound needed– Fibrinogen: a clotting protein made by the liver, high fibrinogen plus high insulin plus high triglycerides is a walking time bomb, especially for steroid users– CRP (C-Reactive Protein): one of the best inflammatory markers available, if it is high something serious is going on🧬Homocysteine, the underrated killer– Homocysteine scars the inside of your arteries so plaque particles can park and stick– Now being studied as an Alzheimer's marker as well– Dr. Scott wants it at 7 or below, many people are at 9 to 50– Fix: methylate with B6, B12, and methyl folate, simple and cheap– TRT alone will elevate homocysteine, so methylating is a must for anyone on testosterone⚖️Retatrutide and rapid fat loss, what to watch– Losing fat very fast can back up bile flow and cause gallstones, not kidney stones– Check alkaline phosphatase and GGT before starting Reta if there is any gallbladder history– Signs of gallbladder issues: bloating, belching, pain under right rib cage, high-fat meal distress, floating stools– Floating poop is not a good sign, it means fat is not being absorbed properly– Blood sugar, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers improve dramatically and quickly on Reta🩸Blood work timing for gear users– Best time to test: before the cycle starts, to establish your baseline– After the cycle ends: retest to confirm you returned to baseline– Mid-cycle testing will look alarming by design, be ready for that– If you do not know what different esters are, you are not ready to run gearFollow Dr. Scott Collie:Website: https://heydrscott.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrScottCollie/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hey_dr_scott/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunityFollow us:Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/

Haas sit down with Josh Holyfield fitness coach, educator, and one of the most straightforward voices in the peptide and optimization space. This one gets into blood work patterns, the real problems with Western medicine, gear cycles, HGH science, and why most men are failing before they even start.Chapters00:00 – Meet Josh Holyfield01:16 – From Fitness Coaching to Peptide Education06:29 – Why He Walked Away from High-Ticket Coaching10:04 – Why Traditional Medicine Falls Short15:36 – The FDA, Pharma & the Future of Peptides20:49 – Blood Work Every Man Should Understand24:25 – Low Testosterone: Fix the Foundation First28:23 – Helping Men Transform Their Lives34:27 – Favorite Anabolics & Building Muscle37:19 – Growth Hormone, IGF-1 & Recovery45:10 – Optimizing Steroid Cycles Safely55:11 – Enhanced Games, Sports & Final ThoughtsWe cover:🩺 What Josh actually sees on blood work– Most men are walking around with total testosterone between 300–500 and most doctors think that's fine– Low T is often a sleep and diet problem first not a TRT problem– Elevated LDL on keto or RETA is expected your doctor doesn't know that– APOB + HSCRP are better predictors of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone — and most doctors don't test for them– Statins remove cholesterol the raw material your testicles use to make testosterone. Doctors prescribing statins to low T men are making the problem worse– Women are almost universally under-eating this is the #1 issue Josh sees🏥 Why Western medicine is failing– Doctors aren't malicious they're programmed, incentivized, and legally constrained– FDA is funded by the pharmaceutical companies it regulates– Insurance companies dictate treatment guidelines not patient outcomes– A drug that cures at 79% for $5 can't go to market if a 95% drug exists at $10,000 that's the law– Peptide regulation is coming but so is more freedom for doctors to prescribe them💉 HGH — the science behind timing– GH converts to IGF-1 in the liver that's what builds muscle– Insulin and IGF-1 compete take GH fasted so it can do fat burning and repair FIRST– Morning dosing: just came off an 8-hour fast, pituitary still gets its natural 2–3AM pulse– Night dosing: shuts down your natural pulse for ~18 hours you lose the freebie– On GLP-1s: morning GH is even more important since RETA keeps insulin elevated for days– Josh's dose: 6 IU before bed, fasted spectacular results⚗️ Favorite Compounds — Round Table– Josh: Testosterone cypionate daily (long ester), Masteron E, micro-dose Tren, EQ for aromatizers. Never needed an AI even at 600mg test/week– JD: Low test base, Winstrol to kick start, Masteron, occasional Primo. AOD, 5-Amino-1MQ, Testofensine, HGH 2 IU– Will: Sustanon 3x/week, Masteron, Winstrol, Cardarine for athletic performance. HCG 1500 IU + HMG for fertility prep. Low dose RETA twice/week for brain function🧠 Real talk on gear– More gear is not always better diminishing returns are real above 800mg test– Anavar is a starter drug because people are scared Winstrol actually does more– If you don't know the difference between esters, you're not ready📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Follow Josh Holyfield:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh.holyfield/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@josh_holyfieldJoin The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity

The undisputed #1. Kills food noise, keeps brain sharp while fasted, no hangry response. Nothing comes close– Cagrilintide: the appetite suppressant add-on Reta is missing. Better and safer alternative to stacking tirzepatide with Reta - Novo Nordisk already made Cagrisema for a reason– HGH: boosts metabolism, improves sleep, builds lean muscle, reduces fat. You notice it most when you stop. HGH Frag 176-191 and AOD are great honorable mentions for those already lean– Tesamorelin: the only compound proven to spot-burn visceral fat. FDA approved. Dose at night fasted for best results do NOT take at the same time as Reta (insulin blunts it)– MOTS-C: exercise mimetic on a cellular level. Thousands of people reporting great fat loss results. Boots energy, ATP, and keeps you moving more throughout the day– Honorable mentions: SLUPP-332, 5-Amino-1MQ, Tesofensine, Clenbuterol, Cardarine GW501516, T3 thyroid, Liposa/MIC injection, L-Carnitine💪 JD's Stack — 47-Year-Old Man, 70 Pounds to Lose, Desk Job– Step 1: Get bloodwork - almost guaranteed to be hormonally deficient– TRT: non-negotiable base. Sleep, clarity, energy, sex drive all improve within weeks– HGH: sleep, recovery, anti-aging, lean muscle, fat burning - must for anyone over 40– Retatrutide: holy grail for fat loss. Works exponentially better when hormonally optimized– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): he hasn't trained, his tendons need support — mandatory– KPV: 47 years of bad eating has wrecked the gut. Fix the gut, fix everything– Diet: 90-day carnivore, intermittent fasting Mon/Wed/Fri (eat 12–8PM), weight train 4 days/week, HIT training 3 days/week🦋 Menopause Stack– Cellular energy: NAD+, SS-31 (repair first), then MOTS-C– Mood/brain fog: Semax + Selank together dopamine, serotonin, anxiety relief– Intimacy/dryness: PT-141 goes from first gear to fifth fast– Weight gain: Retatrutide even at low doses for women who don't need major weight loss– Skin/hair/nails: KLOW (GHK-Cu + KPV + BPC-157) collagen, gut health, hair thinning, fine lines🏊 21-Year-Old Competitive Athlete– Keep it simple their body heals itself– Creatine + high protein + eat more food– Wolverine if they have an injury only peptide worth adding at this age– SLUPP for stamina and nutrient partitioning if needed– No testosterone, no secretagogues, no HGH their body produces plenty– Cardarine would help massively but is WADA banned skip it if competing📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute/about

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas go head to head with their personal muscle building stacks without comparing notes. Will focused on pure muscle building peptides. JD approached it from a full body recomposition angle. Same goal, two very different minds.Chapters:00:00 – Fatherhood, Family & God Shots09:03 – Top Peptides for Building Muscle11:07 – IGF-1 LR3 & HGH Explained14:10 – Tesa, Ipamorelin & CJC-129519:02 – BPC-157, TB500 & Recovery21:25 – JD's Muscle-Building Stack25:28 – MK-677, Fat Loss & Performance29:40 – Peptides vs Steroids33:03 – Favorite Cutting Cycles40:28 – Why Everyone Should Take Creatine43:02 – Skool Community & Final ThoughtsWe cover:💪 Will's Top 5 Muscle Building Peptides– IGF-1 LR3: the downstream effect of HGH this IS what builds muscle. Best used post-workout with protein and carbs. 8 weeks max– HGH: increases IGF-1, burns fat, grows tissue everywhere hair, nails, recovery. The long game– PEG-MGF: local IGF-1 equivalent inject directly into the muscle you just trained post-workout for localized growth– Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin: GHRH + GHRP combo increases natural HGH pulses, burns visceral fat, FDA approved. Nearly interchangeable with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin– CJC-1295 No DAC: mirrors natural HGH pulses, safer long-term than DAC version– Honorable mention: Follistatin 344 / Myostatin Inhibitor theoretical but exciting. Modified version (Follistatin 242) more targeted. Still early in human data🏋️ JD's Get-In-Shape Stack– Testosterone: the non-negotiable base for anyone over 40. Hormonal optimization first– HGH (2 IU morning, fasted): better sleep immediately, long-term fat burning and recovery– MK-677: closest thing to gear without gear. Increases appetite, nutrient partitioning, fullness, and sleep quality. Pairs well with Retatrutide if hunger becomes an issue– 5-Amino-1MQ: keeps fat burning active while adding carbs for muscle growth– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): mandatory for anyone lifting heavy over 40. You cannot build without recovering– Creatine HCL (3g daily): most studied supplement available. Strength, endurance, cell hydration, muscle growth men and women should take it⚗️ Gear Curveball — Cutting Stack (JD)– Testosterone (low, as base only)– Winstrol injectable (weeks 1–4)– Masteron (add at week 2, run 2 months)– Proviron (enhances everything, releases free testosterone)– Optional: Anavar at the end or in place of Winstrol⚗️ Gear Curveball — Muscle Stack (Will)– Testosterone Sustanon 400mg (blend of 4 esters, hits in waves)– Turinabol 25–50mg daily as kickstart (6 weeks max) — leaner, more athletic than D-ball– Primobolan or Masteron at 2:1 ratio vs testosterone — low side effects, no water retention– Proviron in last 3/4 of cycle — peels SHBG off receptors, everything feels enhanced again– 400mg = anabolic threshold / 800mg = upper limit where receptors are maxed💡 Real talk– Peptides alone will not pack on size like gear that's just the truth– But peptides have an elite safety profile gear cannot match– Sleep and protein are non-negotiable no stack replaces them– Creatine HCL over monohydrate for less bloat same results– Never run gear without testosterone as a base everything shuts you down without it📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute/aboutSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas break down two peptides that are more connected than you'd think KPV for inflammation and gut health, and PT-141 for libido and arousal. One calms the fire inside, the other lights a different kind of fire.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:09 Welcome & Banter (Myrtle Beach, Sharks)03:23 Today's Topics Overview05:55 KPV: What It Is & How It Works08:06 KPV vs NSAIDs – Targeted Inflammation09:00 KPV for Gut Health & Stacking with BPC15:00 Stress, Cortisol & Body Composition20:25 Peptides vs Western Medicine21:26 KPV Real Life Results25:43 PT-141: Introduction26:14 How PT-141 Was Discovered27:21 PT-141 vs Viagra/Cialis36:22 PT-141 Dosing Tips & Final Thoughts37:49 OutroWe cover:🧬 What is KPV?– A tri-peptide (just 3 amino acids) derived from alpha-MSH — the same hormone PT-141 comes from– Your body naturally produces it — virtually zero side effect profile– Selectively targets inflammation rather than shutting it all off like NSAIDs– Calms cytokine storms and autoimmune responses without killing good inflammation– Works in tandem with BPC-157 — KPV calms the environment, BPC does the tissue repair🔥 What KPV actually treats– Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis, IBS, leaky gut– Inflammatory skin conditions — eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, chronic acne– Post-antibiotic gut damage — if you ran antibiotics, run KPV– Athletes overtraining — reduces chronic inflammation that slows recovery past 48 hours– Any autoimmune condition driven by gut dysfunction⚠️ The cortisol connection– Stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and travel all spike cortisol — your body's fight-or-flight hormone– Cortisol breaks muscle down, converts it to sugar, and stores fat right at the belly button– Less than 5 hours of sleep = no fat burning, no muscle building all day long– Alcohol keeps your body out of fat-burning mode until 2–3 PM the next day– KPV helps combat the inflammatory cascade that chronic cortisol creates🔥 What is PT-141?– Also derived from alpha-MSH — same origin as KPV, completely different job– Discovered accidentally in the 1980s at University of Arizona during tanning research — men started getting spontaneous erections– FDA approved in 2019 for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in post-menopausal women– Works on the BRAIN — not blood vessels like Viagra or Cialis– Boosts dopamine = increases desire, motivation, and arousal from the inside out– Works equally well for men AND women💡 How it feels (real-world experience)– Kicks in 45 minutes after injection– Flushing/redness right after injection is normal– Arousal builds gradually — touch or kissing accelerates the effect significantly– Hypersensitivity during the act– Too much = nausea, elevated blood pressure, feeling "off" — find your dose– JD's experience at 2mg: incredible night, felt like a 16-year-old all the next day — too much⚠️ What to watch with PT-141– Can raise blood pressure at higher doses — monitor if sensitive– Nausea is common, especially early on — usually a quick wave that passes– Do NOT take with uncontrolled hypertension– Don't combine with other vasodilators carelessly🧪 This isn't theory this is real-world experience working with hundreds of people and seeing what actually works.📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jd_denham_fitWill's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute/about

Haas are joined by Dr. Sam Borghei 20-year ER physician and owner of My Hair MD and Todd Padberg, General Manager of My Hair MD. We dig into hair restoration, natural-looking results, peptides for recovery, and the future of medicine.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Guest Introduction03:18 – ER Life, Stress & Burnout06:14 – Personality Traits of ER Doctors10:08 – Transition Out of ER12:16 – Hair Transplant Process Explained18:04 – Procedure, Recovery & Limitations23:02 – Industry Trends & Patient Demand25:55 – Recovery, Peptides & Healing29:41 – Cost Breakdown & Expectations34:23 – Preventative Medicine & Telehealth Vision38:57 – Trust in Medicine Post-COVID43:12 – Peptides, Research & Future Outlook49:00 – Fitness, Hormones & Lifestyle54:54 – Contact Info & OutroWe cover:🧬 Who is Sam Borghei? 20+ years in frontline ER medicine. Now owner of My Hair MD in San Diego and building a telehealth longevity platform focused on hormone optimization, weight loss, and personalized wellness.✂️ How a hair transplant works FUE method: follicles are individually extracted from the DHT-resistant donor zone (back of the head). A 3,000–3,500 graft procedure involves 10,500+ steps over 6–8 hours. Grafts are sorted by size heavy grafts go to the back, singles go up front for a natural hairline. Those donor follicles do NOT grow back you have a finite supply (6,000–10,000 max).🎨 The art of a natural result Hairlines are drawn jagged on purpose. Single hairs line the very front, temples are always filled in, and age-appropriate design matters. Artistry makes all the difference.💉 Peptides & hair recovery Will used BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu shampoo post-transplant. BPC-157 and TB-500 support angiogenesis and blood flow to follicles. GHK-Cu supports collagen production and scalp stabilization. Will's results were fast with minimal shedding. PRP and laser light therapy are also available at My Hair MD.💊 Medications that protect your transplant Dutasteride blocks DHT (which miniaturizes and kills follicles). Minoxidil increases blood flow to support graft survival. Both are commonly used alongside transplants.💡 Pricing FUE: ~$3.50/graft | FUT strip: ~$3.00/graft. All-inclusive, no hidden fees, financing available. Online consultations offered. Contact Todd: [email protected]🩺 Where medicine is heading Dr. Borghei's telehealth platform (Summer) offers personalized longevity plans biomarker monitoring, hormone optimization, weight loss, and hair restoration. His take: medicine is not one-size-fits-all, and the patient-physician relationship needs to come back.🧠 Real talk on peptides Peptides are chains of amino acids with a remarkably low risk profile compared to many pharmaceuticals. FDA classifications are shifting, research is coming, and early adopters are already seeing results.Follow for more:My Hair MD: myhairmd.com | [email protected] JD's IG: @jd_denham_fit | Will's IG: @williamthaas | Community: skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.Welcome back, warriors! JD Denham and William T. Haas break down two powerhouse compounds NAD+ and Tesofensine covering what they are, how they work, real-world experience, and how to dose them right.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Life Updates05:30 – Parenting, Discipline & Boys10:00 – Family, Values & Growth18:30 – NAD Explained (What It Does)25:30 – NAD Benefits & Real Results29:00 – NAD Dosing & Side Effects37:45 – NAD Cycles & Best Use38:15 – Tesofensine Breakdown42:00 – Energy, Focus & Fat Loss Effects48:30 – Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Use It52:30 – Dosing, Side Effects & Warnings55:30 – School Platform & What’s Next57:45 – Outro🧬 What is NAD+? A coenzyme found in every cell in your body — essential for life. Powers over 500 enzymatic reactions and is critical for ATP (cellular energy) production. Declines dramatically with age: 100% at birth → 55% by age 40 → 34% by age 60. That decline is why we age — cells stop repairing and regenerating as well.🔥 What NAD+ actually does – DNA and cellular repair — slows aging at the genetic level – Boosts natural cellular energy (not stimulant energy) – Neuroprotective — mental clarity, sharper focus, better brain function – Improves insulin sensitivity, lipid regulation, and cardiovascular function – Regulates inflammatory pathways and immune response🧠 What is Tesofensine? A triple reuptake inhibitor (serotonin + dopamine + norepinephrine). Originally developed for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's — researchers noticed patients losing massive amounts of weight. Clinical trials showed 9–11% average body weight loss over 24 weeks.⚖️ How Tesofensine works – Targets the brain — makes food stop giving you a dopamine hit – Reduces cravings for sweets and junk without fully suppressing hunger like GLP-1s – Does NOT spike blood sugar during fasting – Real energy increase — dopamine-driven motivation, not jittery stimulant energy – Great GLP-1 transition compound for weaning off without falling off track💡 Real-world experience JD's first run felt off and tired — gave it a bad rep initially. Second run (last 3 weeks): loves the focused, clean energy, similar to Modafinil. Will: no more naps, more motivated, doesn't want to miss the day. Both agree — take it in the first half of the day, it will keep you up.⚠️ What to avoid – Do NOT combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, or NDRIs (Zoloft, Wellbutrin, etc.) – Reduce caffeine — unnecessary stimulant overload – Do NOT combine with Modafinil – Not recommended for uncontrolled hypertension, bipolar disorder, or severe anxiety – Monitor blood pressure and run regular bloodwork📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jd_denham_fitWill's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity/about
