Episode notes
Muscle Gain Peptides
- For muscle gain, consider growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) if your IGF-1 is below 120.
- However, if your growth hormone and IGF-1 levels are normal or high, the risks may outweigh the benefits.
SARMs vs. Peptides
- SARMs are often mistaken as peptides, but aren't ready for medicinal use.
- The Wolverine stack (BPC-157, TB-500) aids recovery, not muscle growth, despite common misconceptions.
Appropriate Age for TRT
- Consult with a qualified healthcare provider about TRT, HCG, and other interventions, regardless of age.
- Find a doctor specializing in preventive medicine and hormone optimization for informed decisions.
