Kris Gethin's background and journey

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this power-packed episode, Drew sits down with industry legend Kris Gethin - former Bodybuilding.com executive, champion natural bodybuilder, supplement company founder, and now one of the world's leading peptide and longevity experts.

Kris shares his complete evolution from competitive natural bodybuilding to embracing peptides and biohacking after his mold toxicity diagnosis in 2014. He breaks down exactly why peptides don't violate natural bodybuilding principles (they're signaling molecules, not synthetic hormones), and reveals the specific stacks he uses for different goals.

You'll discover Kris's daily optimization routine including ice baths, red light therapy, hydrogen protocols, PEMF therapy, and his strategic approach to fasting. He explains the critical difference between hermetic and non-hermetic antioxidants, why most athletes are destroying their performance with caffeine, and how to shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system dominance.

This conversation goes deep on practical protocols you can implement immediately - from his "trifecta reset" using pinealon, thymolin and epitalon, to combating EMF exposure, to the exact supplement stack for a 60-day tour requiring peak mental and physical performance.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

Why peptides are "signaling molecules" not synthetic overrides like TRT or HGH - they tell your body what it should already be producing

The "wired but tired" syndrome affecting high achievers and the pinealon/epitalon/thymolin reset protocol

Hydrogen therapy creates a "calming but focused state" and enhances cognitive performance better than most nootropics

Creatine combined with guanidino acetic acid provides superior absorption through 4 pathways vs. standard monohydrate

EMF sensitivity is real - proper grounding and Faraday protection dramatically improves HRV and sleep quality

The "Jedi mastery" approach: knowing when to use which biohacks based on daily demands rather than following rigid protocols
