My Top Peptide Stack for Mental Clarity & Muscle Repair | Alex Kikel (E004)
Alex Kikel is a clinician focused on advanced hormone optimisation, mitochondrial health, and neurochemical balance. In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to upgrade the human system at every level.We get into why most people approach optimisation backwards, chasing surface-level tools without building foundational capacity first. Alex breaks down how to layer protocols based on biological priorities: starting with circadian rhythm, blood sugar control, and mineral status, before moving into peptides, thyroid support, and androgen management.We also cover the smart use of methylene blue, the dangers of overusing NAD+, and how to interpret biofeedback in real time.Timestamps:01:00 Starting with mitochondria and how to feel 25 again04:01 Grounding, sunlight and building up mitochondrial potential06:23 Macronutrients, fasting, and feasting for brain energy11:32 Fuelling flexibility with ketones, glucose, oxygen, and choline14:45 Entry-level supplements for cognitive clarity16:52 Basic vs advanced stack: B vitamins to plasmalogens19:10 Methylene blue, brain overdrive, and proper dosing22:53 SLU-PP-332 and the rise of mitochondrial peptides26:14 Understanding MOTS-c and mitochondrial-driven fat loss29:36 Best injectable protocols for cognitive slumps33:21 Measuring peptide efficacy with inflammation markers35:27 NAD+, precursors, detox blockers and delivery methods39:10 Testosterone support via peptides, supplements, and bioregulators44:41 Growth hormone: ipamorelin, tesamorelin, exogenous GH49:20 IGF-1 timing and stacking it post-workout for gains56:00 Splitting GH and tesamorelin for fat loss and performance59:51 Optimal daily protocol: from sunrise to sleep1:06:20 Recovery day protocol with grounding and anti-inflammatory tools1:10:19 Healing peptides: BPC-157, TB-500 and systemic benefits1:14:43 GLP-1s explained: semaglutide to Retatrutide and future therapies1:20:54 Emerging 5-stage agonists and injectable mitochondriaDISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.
