@BiohackerJake Spot on! I have lots of patients/fellow docs asking me about GLPs peptides. I go to “what do you eat? How do you sleep? Test/other labs?”

The peptide craze is one of the most exciting things happening in health right now. People are actually taking control of their bodies, recovering better, losing fat they couldn’t touch before, and feeling like they have new tools to fix problems that used to feel permanent. That part is awesome. I’m genuinely glad it’s happening. But there’s a quiet problem running parallel to all of it that nobody wants to say out loud. A lot of people have taken the exact same mistakes they were already making and just moved them over into the peptide world. Before peptides, the biggest levers most people neglected were protein, muscle retention, insulin control, hormones, and thyroid function. They’d cut hard, lose weight, and wonder why they looked worse, metabolism slowed down, and everything felt harder. They knew muscle was important for BMR and longevity. They knew constant blood sugar spikes kept them inflamed and fat-storing. They knew low testosterone or a sluggish thyroid could destroy energy, recovery, and body composition. But they still treated all of it like an afterthought because “fat loss is the priority right now.” Now the same thing is happening with compounds. People are spending real money on GLP-1s and random “fun” peptides while still eating like trash, training inconsistently, sleeping like garbage, running hormones into the ground, and ignoring thyroid optimization. Then they’re surprised when the results don’t stick or they feel like a depleted version of themselves. GLP-1s are powerful. They improve insulin sensitivity and can accelerate fat loss. But they can also accelerate muscle loss if you’re not deliberately fighting it with high protein and resistance training. And if you’re still living with uncontrolled insulin, low testosterone, suboptimal thyroid, or hormonal chaos, you’re leaving a massive amount of the metabolic benefit on the table. You’re using an expensive tool to partially override problems you’re still creating every day with your inputs. Chasing random peptides on top of a broken base is even worse. If your sleep is trash, your protein is low, your insulin is all over the place, your testosterone is in the gutter, your thyroid is sluggish, and your training is inconsistent… spending time and money figuring out the “optimal” dose of Kisspeptin or Melanotan is missing the point entirely. You’re optimizing the accessories while the engine is still on fire. We finally have compounds that can genuinely reinforce the body in ways we couldn’t before — better recovery, better metabolic flexibility, better healing, better body composition. But none of them replace the basics. They amplify what’s already there. If your foundation is weak — especially if insulin control, testosterone, thyroid, and overall hormones are still a disaster — these tools just make you a more expensive version of the same problems. The real flex right now isn’t who’s on the most peptides or who can tolerate the highest GLP dose. 💪It’s who actually fixed their protein intake, training, sleep, insulin control, testosterone (or female hormone balance), and thyroid optimization first — and then used the peptides to go further instead of using them to compensate for what they’re still unwilling to do.💪 The tools got better. A lot of the thinking didn’t. If you’re deep in peptide research but your basic inputs are still a disaster, you didn’t level up. You just found a more expensive way to stay the same.

@PeptidePlugs @kalospepgod I’ve bought a couple of those “Wolverine plus” from you Tony. They are terrific 🙌🏻💉

@kalospepgod We don't even buy it anymore. Also stocking up more on BPC-157+TB500 in 30mg total

I’m going to toss this out there I would like to see BPC-157 no longer sold as 10 mg vials At least not as single vial orders The anecdotal reports point to much higher doses being needed to have a beneficial effect This leads to needless extra supplies, vials, and MOST IMPORTANTLY…newcomers having a near waste of a first order as they test the waters, only order one, pay shipping costs, wait for delivery, etc etc

@_9th_Life_ Been using about 2 weeks. I like it better than 322 (or whatever the number is 🙄🤓)

Next on the list: SLU-PP-915

@ThePepGuy Nice! Looking forward to the Limitless and 50mg SS31 👏🏻💪🏻

Goodmorning all, happy Sunday 🙏 • A lot of peps will be finishing up testing this week including lots of blends that I know some people are excited about ⚡️ This week we will be sending the following for testing: • SS-31 50mg • Tirz 30mg • MOTS-c 40mg • CJC/IPA 5/5mg • The Blue Nectar GHK-Cu + Snap-8 serum line has been a huge hit, and I am glad people are enjoying it. This Sunday, I am grateful for all of the community and friendships I have been able to create since jumping on X. Its been quite a ride so far and its only just beginning!

@KrisRChase @NDMFlyHigh @tonymission I looked at buying HPLC machine … not new😳, but found some used ones for cheap. But then I need to figure out how to work it etc. but, would be nice to test most things at home.

@NDMFlyHigh @tonymission Wonder when someone’s going to create an affordable way to test, at home tests would be huge

We're reaching new levels. Just had a Chinese vendor offer to send $22k of product and I don't pay a penny until it's tested and exceeds my standards. Also offering to pay 50% of the testing fees and give me $100 for every day after Friday if shipping is delayed. Sent me 30 American (Freedom) COAs from June 26th. To say I'm impressed by his confidence, trust and overall sales approach is an understatement. I hope he doesn't do this with everyone because eventually he'll get screwed, but I don't see how I could have said no. 😅

@irentdumpsters @rorynotsorry 😎🔥

@braindoc69 @rorynotsorry Is she hot

I married way above my grade. Came home and my wife took all my peptide paraphernalia and organized it nicely in this drawer. And, cleaned off desk area for me to reconstitute/pin 💉 @rorynotsorry see the 5mm pen caps 😜

@MartinaStippler @doximity @AANSCNStrauma I am medical director for surgical quality at my hospital. It is all about PSI90 etc. I sent this quote to our committee. It is spot on

Check out this article on @doximity We #neurosurgeons often have to make the impossible choice between holding and restarting #anticoagulation. Each decision comes with a trade-off, and the same clinical trade-off can be condemned from opposite directions. @AANSCNStrauma

@KrisRChase My day: 0445 cold plunge 0500 vitamins/supplements creatine/fiber 0510 peptide pins 0530 coffe then reads. Bible etc 0545 meditation

real question for the group. when do you actually take your shot. first thing before coffee, midday, or right before bed? and do you time it around anything on purpose or just whenever you remember?

@JustTheWay4wd @rorynotsorry Haha!! It was a gift. She left it there. From when I got to play Augusta. She knows it’s special to me

@braindoc69 @rorynotsorry The golf ball on the left raises questions 😂

@bprice_do @rorynotsorry Haha! Nope! Epic charts, not me 😜🤔

@braindoc69 @rorynotsorry Do you use the term “pin” when you chart?

@AbudBakri As a physician, I really appreciate your posts! Keep them coming please

Khavinson claimed tripeptides could be uptaken by PEP1 transporters Everyone laughed at him. “Peptides are broken down into amino acids!!!” But then other groups showed that the tripeptide KPV is also uptaken by the same transporters in the gastro intestinal tract

@DrDiGiorgio I wish I could have tuned in. I just love @BKRBusinessMin Scott Becker! I’ve been fortunate to be on panels at his meetings with him as moderator!

@_9th_Life_ Count me in. I’ll take the test right now!😎

There should be an SAT for peptides. Proctored. No phones. No AI. Doctors, researchers, influencers, n=1 guys. Everyone takes the same test. Reconstitution math, COA analysis, pharmacokinetics, receptor pharmacology, history, study design, etc. To quantify knowledge, not to expose people. Put a number on your understanding, show you where your gaps are. High scores worn as a badge of honor by the most well studied in the space. I think we’re going to go ahead and build this.

@matmonkey3788 I had my wife use GLOW stack after her arthroscopic meniscus surgery. She healed well and fast

My son is getting his Meniscus surgically repaired next week. Thoughts on using BPC-157 to help the healing? And any other recommendations would be appreciated

@rorynotsorry My rat loves their SLU-pp 915 🐀

I love Crush Research, but we are much more narrowly focused company. I routinely refer customers to Kimera when they inquire about rarer research products.

@ThePepGuy @peptidepirate I’m interested

If you are interested in being part of a no-cost community that speaks freely and supports each-other day in and day out, @peptidepirate and I have created just that. • No censors, just RAW discourse • Loads of information on research by a group of people experienced within this space. • Chill vibes with zero judgement If thats you, DM me or everyone’s favorite Pirate for an invite. NOTE: Spammers will be hit with the Ban Hammer, its a safe community for all to learn, not a place to shill your memecoins 💪🏼

@tonymission @fitcapbiohacker You and @rorynotsorry are the best. Don’t put up with assholes

I don't care how much money you spend with us... if you're a dick, I'm just going to ban your account. There are plenty of places for you to shop. Honest mistakes happen. I never need the money enough to put up with people who aren't kind, reasonable or thoughtful. This isn't McDonald's.

@CoffeeBlackMD I was a D1 athlete at Notre Dame many moons ago! Number 2 for sure!! But, I was D1 golfer there 😜👍🏻💪🏻

Ok. Let me try this a different way. Less emotional. With golf. A very technical sport. If we take two 35 year old men both without any exposure golf and start them the same day, who would we expect to take to the sport better. Guy #1 who has never played a sport and with an athletic ability or guy #2 who played a D1 sport and comes with a lot of athletic ability. Gun to your head. I’m making you bet $10,000 who are you putting your money on for having the better first golf game between the two??

@rbarbosa91 I sent this to my son who is currently a 3rd year general surgery resident. Great thoughts

Sometimes, an attending is doing a case, but is struggling and kind of lost, but the assisting resident sees clearly what to do next. The resident then feels that they have to invent all kinds of careful diplomatic language to guide the attending. It’s fascinating to watch.
