Episode notes
Microdosing Retatrutide For Appetite Control
- Ben describes microdosing retatrutide (about 0.25 mg/week) to suppress appetite with fewer side effects than full doses.
- He sources it from a vetted company and mixes it into bacteriostatic water for subcutaneous microdoses.
Prefer Protein-Enriched Processed Options
- Choose protein-enriched ultra-processed foods to reduce calorie intake and increase metabolic rate when you must eat processed options.
- Look for high-protein bars, liquid protein shakes, Greek yogurt, jerky, or tuna packets as better gas-station choices.
Wild Diet Rapidly Shifts The Microbiome
- A six-week all-wild-food experiment produced large, rapid shifts in the gut microbiome and increased microbial diversity.
- Some ancient bacteria spiked and persisted, but full hunter-gatherer microbiome restoration likely requires longer changes.
