We cover:
• What to Stop Before Blood Work: Why secretagogues, MK-677, HCG, Kisspeptin and biotin can all skew your labs and how long to stop each before testing
• Cellular Rebuild Stack all at Once or Sequenced?: Why Fox04 first clears the trash, why SS-31 must come before MOTS-C, and why throwing the kitchen sink in at once defeats the purpose
• Epithalon Dosing Explained: Why 100 migs twice a year is the standard, why 10 migs for 10 days and 5 migs for 20 days are both correct, and why Paul Bakhtiar starts everyone here
• Sermorelin + Ipamorelin at 260 Down to 238 should You Up the Dose?: Why a caloric deficit blunts IGF-1 response, why winning streaks aren't the time to add more, and how to use plateau busters instead
• BPC-157 Sublingual vs Oral for Gut Health: Why BPC was born in gastric juices and why oral capsules beat sublingual for gut-specific use every time
• How Long Can You Keep a Reconstituted Retatrutide Vial: Why 28 days is the bacteriostatic water standard not a cliff edge and why buying the right vial size solves the problem
• TRT Protocol for a Truck Driver with Total T of 396: Why high body fat raises estrogen and SHBG, why 180-200 migs of test twice weekly is the starting point, and why life changes in three weeks
• Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin Timing When on Retatrutide: Why morning fasted dosing beats nighttime circadian alignment when GLP-1 is slowing gastric emptying and why the two peptides should never be split up
• HGH vs CJC for Muscle Growth Over 50: Why actual HGH wins every time and why splitting the dose morning and night is worth exploring
• Benign Pituitary Tumor What Peptides Are Safe: Why HGH and secretagogues are off the table, why creatine and protein are the real answer, and why IGF-1 LR3 still carries risk

1:02:46 – Outro & Where to Find Tiffany & Nora

We cover:
🦋 Tiffany's story
– Competing as an IFBB Pro destroyed her hormones by age 26 hair loss, amenorrhea, miscarriage, dismissed by every doctor she saw
– Doctors threw metformin, birth control, and dismissals at her none addressed the root cause
– A doctor refused to prescribe T3 because she assumed Tiffany wanted it for weight loss she then miscarried
– Went back to school, earned 13 certifications in nutrition, became a board-registered nutrition practitioner
– Now works entirely in functional testing and root cause healing

🩺 What functional testing actually reveals
– Standard labs are a snapshot they don't tell you WHY
– Most doctors only run one thyroid marker there are eight
– Elevated LDL on keto, carnivore, or RETA is expected your doctor probably doesn't know that
– APOB + hs-CRP are far better cardiovascular risk markers rarely tested
– Functional tests Tiffany runs: gut zoomer, hormone zoomer, organic acids test, heavy metals, mycotoxins, mineral panel, celiac, food sensitivities

🔥 The three root causes she sees most
– Trauma: held in organs (gallbladder = resentment/anger), disrupts the gut-brain axis, spikes cortisol, blocks proper hormone signaling
– Food: our food supply is not the same as 30 years ago — seed oils, dyes, GMO crops, herbicide-sprayed produce, and modified grains are destroying gut linings
– Eating disorders: nutrient deficiencies and intestinal abuse from restriction, bingeing, or purging cause cascading hormone and gut dysfunction

💊 GLPs — the missing piece nobody talks about
– Women losing hair and nails on GLP-1s are malnourished gastric emptying slows nutrient absorption
– Must pair with: magnesium, electrolytes, copper mineral, digestive enzymes, liver support (TUDCA + ergothioneine)
– Copper deficiency is extremely common on GLP-1s and almost never tested
– GLP-1s are a tool not a lifestyle. Use them to build momentum, fix the base alongside them

Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas are live from Prague after touring the Janoshik testing facility the gold standard for independent peptide testing. They break down what they saw, how COAs actually work, what testing really costs, and answer questions on fat loss at 447 pounds, chronic pain peptides, and the hardest peptide to test.

We cover:
• Inside Janoshik: What the Tour Actually Looked Like: Why Peter Magic's team does things right, what the petri dish sterility test looks like in person, and why endotoxins are caught at the supplier stage
• How COAs Actually Work The Full Breakdown: Purity vs. identity vs. content testing, what HPLC and mass spectrometry actually measure, and why a COA without all three tells you almost nothing
• What Peptide Testing Actually Costs: $450 for HPLC, $105 for heavy metals, $180 for endotoxins, $290 for sterility and why that math explains why cheap products can't be properly tested
• The Hardest Peptide for Janoshik to Test: Why Cerebrolysin tops the list, why it's made from pig brain and contains multiple peptide strains, and why Retatrutide is challenging due to its molecular weight
• Opiate Painkillers Post-Surgery When to Get Off: Why ibuprofen often works better than Vicodin for actual pain, why ARA-290 is the peptide answer for nerve pain, and why hyperbaric chambers and red light accelerate healing
• 447 Pounds Down to 380 What to Stack with Retatrutide: Why TRT is non-negotiable first, why HGH at 2 IU is the long play, and how SLU-PP-332, 5-Amino-1-MQ and L-Carnitine target fat through different pathways
• Carnivore + Retatrutide Does It Work?: Why you can absolutely do both, when to use carbs strategically around training, and why intermittent fasting compounds the results
• The Culture at Janoshik: Why Czech work culture prioritizes quality over speed and what American businesses can learn from it

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas pull back the curtain and share the story behind the podcast, the friendship, and the companies how two guys from Alcoholics Anonymous ended up building something neither of them planned.

Chapters:
00:00 – Intro
00:09 – How the Peptide of the Week Podcast Began
05:11 – Business Partners With Opposite Strengths
09:27 – JD's Wife's Relapse Changed Everything
13:58 – Will's Rock Bottom & Path to Sobriety
17:20 – The AA Meeting That Built a Brotherhood

33:53 – Building a Business Around Integrity
42:30 – Are Entrepreneurs Born or Made?
49:08 – The Values Behind Their Success
51:18 – Future Guests & Final Thoughts

We cover:
🙏 How it all started
– JD's wife relapsed six months after they got married a rough patch that changed everything
– A phone call from a man in AA stopped JD from making a decision he would have regretted forever
– To support his wife, JD started attending a Monday night AA meeting and that's where he met Will's sponsor
– Will had just gotten out of jail after a fentanyl overdose got a sponsor, started going to meetings
– Will's sponsor brought him to JD's house for a Wednesday night book study at 6PM
– Two guys became three, then five, then COVID hit and meetings shut down
– JD's living room turned into a 70+ person AA meeting every Wednesday night
– Without that relapse, without that meeting none of this exists

💪 How fitness connected them
– Both were deep into health, supplements, and fitness
– After meetings they'd talk for hours about compounds, diets, what was working
– Will was always running something JD was always curious about it
– That passion for health was the bridge from friendship to business

🎙️ How the podcast happened
– JD started a fitness channel and wanted to interview Will in his garage first video was on HGH and MK-677
– Second video in the backyard. Third on the beach in Huntington Beach but nobody could hear it
– Their editor suggested making it a podcast it just worked
– Hit 100,000 viewers and neither of them knew what that meant
– Now at 600,000+ monthly viewers still growing

🏢 How the company started
– JD was selling a carnivore diet plan and people wanted the supplements he used
– Will was supplying him JD doubled the price and sold them
– Will needed to raise prices they decided to just partner up
– Flew to Vegas for a business conference, sat down for 10 minutes and recorded a video on a compound that was the first real episode
– Became 50/50 partners neither wanted to fight over percentages
– Started in a garage, moved to a small office in Huntington Beach, now 15+ employees

🔑 Why it works
– Total opposites JD is the face, the storyteller, the social media guy. Will is the builder, researcher, and operational engine
– What JD loves most: the podcast. What Will loves least: the podcast. Perfect.
– Neither can do what the other does they need each other and they both know it
– No ego, no greed, no micromanaging just trust and mutual respect

We cover:
• HGH + IGF-1 LR3 Together Safe or Not?: Why doubling up amplifies muscle building but also amplifies insulin sensitivity risk and who should and shouldn't do it
• Why GHRH and GHRP Work Better Together: How Sermorelin and Ipamorelin amplify each other's pulses and why Tesamorelin plus low-dose Ipa is the best combo for women prone to water retention
• 69-Year-Old LEO with Nine Surgeries: Why high-dose Wolverine is safe, why two migs of each daily post-surgery is the target, and why injecting close to the site matters
• Diverticulosis & Ulcerative Colitis Protocol: Why oral BPC and KPV are the foundation and why most medications are probably making the gut worse
• High LDL on Retatrutide in Women: Why rapid fat loss temporarily raises LDL, why it's not alarming at 106, and why the scale is the wrong metric to chase
• Low Libido at 44 on TRT: Why free testosterone matters more than total, why 100 migs may be too low, and why diet, sleep, cortisol and estrogen all outrank more testosterone
• Do Peptides Show Up on Drug Tests: Why no standard employment test screens for peptides and why the economics of testing make it nearly impossible
• Gastric Sleeve Patient Stalled at 145 Pounds: Why eating more protein not fewer calories is the fix and why adding Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin raises your BMR over time
• Switching Mom from Wegovy to Retatrutide: Why going pound for pound on dosage is the simplest approach and why she'll feel hunger again and that's okay
• Wolverine Protocol for a Saint Bernard Post Spinal Surgery: Why a human-sized dose is appropriate for a 125-pound dog, what the beagle studies show, and how to inject intramuscular
