"If you're going to go down this road, you better be prepared to be on it for life."
Tim Riley sits down with elite strength coach and former D1 football player Jon Heck to break down the real science behind PEDs, covering anabolic and androgenic steroids, TRT, growth hormone, insulin, fat burners, and peptides. John Heck gives a no-BS, medically grounded take on who actually uses this stuff, what it does to your body long-term, and why PEDs in sports performance are wildly misunderstood.
This episode covers why pro athletes actually don't use steroids (99% of users are recreational gym bros), how side effects of oral vs injectable steroids differ drastically, why kidney health is the silent killer, and the terrifying reality of insulin risks in bodybuilding and DNP fat burner dangers. Jon also walks through growth hormone hyperplasia bodybuilding, the peptide recovery benefits debate, gray market loopholes, and why steroids ruining athletic performance is especially true for team sport athletes relying on connective tissue elasticity.
The Q&A at the end gets practical fast: reverse dieting, budget nutrition, potassium targets, and phasic diets laid out step by step.
