JD Denham is live from Maui on his honeymoon while William T. Haas holds it down in the studio. This week they go deep on growth hormone in all its forms covering HGH timing for normal vs reduced pituitary function, whether stacking Tesamorelin on top of HGH is a waste of money, how to run your first steroid cycle properly, why FLGR 242 is the first compound JD says can genuinely compete with gear, and what carpal tunnel symptoms after adding Ipamorelin actually mean.
🔬 Topics Covered
• Why taking HGH at night could be silently sabotaging your biggest natural growth hormone pulse
• Is stacking Tesamorelin on top of HGH a waste of money or does it still do something unique?
• Carpal tunnel and joint pain after adding Ipamorelin at only 200mcg: bad sign or great sign?
• Running your first steroid cycle with Test and Primo: why stopping at 8 weeks is the worst mistake you can make
• Should you add FLGR 242 or IGF-1 LR3 to a steroid cycle and what actually happens when you do? • Why taking HGH on workout days only and skipping rest days is completely backwards
• MK-677 vs Ipamorelin: why one will make you eat everything in sight and the other probably won't affect your hunger at all
• Can you stack HGH, MK-677 and IGF-1 LR3 together or is that just overkill?
• Why Klotho may be the most underrated compound for anyone running gear and what it is actually doing for your kidneys
• Every single person listening should be taking glutathione and here is exactly why

This is not a conversation about peptides. This is a conversation with the man who invented two of the most talked about longevity compounds on the planet. Dr. Michael Farber joins JD Denham and William T. Haas to break down Klotho and FLGR-242 from the ground up. Who created them, why he created them, how they actually work in the body, and where medicine is heading in the next 20 years.
🔬 Topics Covered:
• Who is Dr. Michael Farber and his 35 years in biochemistry and 150 patents
• Why he invented Klotho to save his own kidney after losing his right kidney in his teens
• How Klotho regulates phosphate and calcium and why that matters for kidney function
• The feedback loop of kidney disease that has never been reversible until now
• People going from an EGFR of 40 back up to 70 and beyond on Klotho
• Why Klotho makes NAD work dramatically better through the SIRT1 pathway
• Klotho and the blood brain barrier: clearing toxic plaque buildup without entering the brain
• Why Dr. Farber considers Klotho more important for longevity than FLGR-242
• How the albumin binder platform works and why it allows bi-weekly dosing
• Klotho dosing: 10 micrograms every two weeks for healthy individuals, every 11 to 12 days for kidney dysfunction
• What happens if you overdose Klotho and why it is strictly range-bound
• FLGR-242: the long-acting myostatin inhibitor that is outperforming all expectations
• Why FLGR-242 dosing is nothing like Follistatin-344 and must not be confused
• The future of medicine: synthetic organs, CRISPR, fetal genetic optimization, and living to 120
• Dr. Farber consumed a bottle of painkillers a week for decades. In the last 18 months he has taken two or three total.

JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down for a focused all-R episode covering the most common questions they get about "R". From whether you actually need to stop between cycles, to building a stack from scratch as a brand new female, to using R with breast cancer history, to whether Cagrilintide is worth bridging with over the holidays. Plus Dr. Mike Farber, creator of FLGR 242 and Klotho, is coming on the podcast next week and JD has been running FLGR long enough to say it is giving gear a serious run for its money.
🔬 Topics Covered
• Do your R receptors actually burn out and do you need to cycle off?
• The best way to time your R doses around the weekend when cravings hit hardest
Building a peptide stack from absolute zero as a 33-year-old female athlete
• Why taking too many peptides at once is costing you money and answers
• Hormone breast cancer history on R: what is safe and what is not
• Why fatigue on R almost always comes down to one thing nobody wants to hear
• AOD vs Tesamorelin vs HGH for a 45-year-old male trying to lose his last 20 pounds
• Does 5-Amino-1-MQ actually block NAD or is that completely backwards?
• The cognitive and fat burning stack for a 40-year-old Marine on TRT and R
• FLGR 242 is the first peptide JD says is genuinely giving gear a run for its money

They all live in the same family but they are NOT the same. JD Denham and William T. Haas break down Melanotan 1, Melanotan 2, and PT-141, what makes each one different, the real side effects nobody warns you about, and some stories that will make you think twice about your dosing before a big meeting.
🔬 Topics Covered:
• How melanin actually works and why some people tan and others burn
• Melanotan 1: the safest of the three, FDA approved as Scenesse for sun-sensitive skin conditions
• Why MT1 does not cross into the brain and what that means for side effects
• MT1 and psoriasis: real results people are seeing stacked with BPC and TB-500
• Melanotan 2: broader spectrum, crosses into the brain, tanning plus arousal plus appetite suppression
• Why MT2 causes more flushing, more nausea, and darker freckles than MT1
• Spontaneous erections on MT2 and why Will does not sleep well on it
• PT-141 discovered as a metabolite of MT2 and why it works on the brain not the blood vessels
• Why PT-141 and Cialis together may be overkill but actually makes sense
• FDA approval of PT-141 as Vyleesi for low sexual desire in women
• Why PT-141 works for both men and women when Cialis does not
• JD's wife approved. Real world experience from both of them
• Why your hormones must be optimized or none of this works the way it should
• Dosing breakdown: MT1, MT2, and PT-141 injectable and nasal spray
• Why you do NOT take any of these before a first date or an important meeting
• When to stop because your friends are telling you that you look purple

Peptide of the Week: Epithalon & Glutathione – Longevity, Sleep & Detox Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Medical Disclaimer: We are not doctors. The content in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.
Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas get back to basics with two compounds that belong in almost everyone's stack. Epithalon for longevity, sleep, and cellular aging. Glutathione for detox, liver protection, and immune support. Simple, powerful, and underutilized.
Chapters:00:00 – Intro00:09 – Show Updates & Shirt Talk02:15 – Heading to the Olympia02:58 – Behind the Scenes of Bodybuilding Prep05:26 – JD's Mold-Related Cough Diagnosis07:50 – New Podcast Format & Upcoming Compounds10:01 – School & Coaching Program Updates10:41 – Carnivore vs. Macros: Finding What Works13:33 – Epitalon: Origins in Russian Bioregulator Science15:03 – Why Most Peptides Lack FDA Clinical Trials17:20 – Big Pharma's Incentives & Hidden Cures21:53 – Epitalon: Longevity, Immune Support & Sleep27:53 – What to Stack With & Avoid on Epitalon32:13 – Glutathione: Why Everyone Should Take It34:57 – Delivery Methods & Global Uses39:49 – Dosing Protocols: Epitalon & Glutathione Math
We cover:🧬 What is Epithalon?– A four amino acid synthetic peptide made of alanine, glutamate, aspartate, and glycine– One of Dr. Khavinson's Soviet bioregulators developed in the 1970s military research program– Works directly on the pineal gland, the pea-sized gland in your brain that regulates sleep and hormones– In 2026, an FDA advisory committee voted 7 to 4 to recommend adding it to the approved compound list (advisory only, not yet policy)– Cannot be patented because it is a naturally occurring compound, so there is no financial incentive for big pharma to fund large trials
🔬 What Epithalon does– Telomere lengthening: Dr. Khavinson's studies showed it extends the telomere caps on your chromosomes, theoretically slowing cellular aging. Animal models showed extended lifespan– Sleep and circadian rhythm reset: deepens sleep, reduces nighttime waking, helps reset disrupted sleep cycles. One of the top reasons people run it– Immune resilience: lowers free radical damage systemically, especially helpful for overtrained athletes and chronically stressed people
⚠️ What to avoid with Epithalon– Alcohol– High-dose melatonin (it can replace melatonin, do not stack them)– Extra sedatives while running it for sleep– Theoretical caution with active cancer due to pineal gland's role in cell regulation (not proven, just noted)– Not WADA banned but classified as a non-approved substance for tested athletes
🛡️ What is Glutathione?– Discovered in 1888, actively used in Italy to treat Parkinson's after independent human trials– Your body's master antioxidant and the most important detox compound available– Scavenges free radicals, recycles vitamins C and E so they keep working, and escorts toxins out of the body
🔬 What Glutathione actually does– Liver detox and protection: number one clinical use in Western medicine, especially post-alcohol and for fatty liver support– Parkinson's and neuroprotection: proven in human trials to protect nerves from chemotherapy damage– Immune support and long COVID recovery: being used in post-viral fatigue and long COVID protocols– Skin lightening: the number one global use. High doses will make you pale. Low doses for wellness will not

Does Your COA Even Match Your Vial? | Peptide of the Week Q&A Sep 24, 2026

Medical Disclaimer: We are not doctors. The content in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.
Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas are live from South Carolina touring a 503A/503B FDA-approved compounding facility. They cover how to vet a peptide source beyond the COA, HGH as a long-term play, seborrheic dermatitis triggered by HGH, SIBO and Candida gut protocols, peptides for eye health, and longevity tools for women over 60.
Chapters:00:00 – Intro00:10 – Welcome Back & South Carolina Trip00:27 – Visiting a 503A/503B Lab02:01 – Why They Take These Trips & Dealing With Online Hate05:28 – Skool Platform & Coaching Program Updates09:42 – New Format: Feedback From Listeners10:34 – Recap: The Elkins Cattle Co Episode14:08 – Q&A: Tracking a COA to a Specific Bottle19:40 – Q&A: HGH vs. TESA/IPA Secretagogues25:36 – Q&A: Statin/Blood Pressure Meds & SS-31 for Eye Health29:02 – Q&A: HGH Causing Seborrheic Dermatitis33:59 – Q&A: Fixing SIBO & Candida39:06 – Q&A: How Much Visceral Fat Is Normal?44:05 – Q&A: Reducing Inflammation & Blood Pressure Naturally48:47 – Q&A: BAM-15 & SLU-PP-332 Coupling Explained1:01:12 – Q&A: CJC/Ipa Reactions & the Ideal Longevity Stack
We cover:• Can You Trust a COA Is From the Right Batch?: Why there's no perfect answer, why cost and transparency are the best vetting tools, and why good companies test the same batch multiple times
• HGH vs Tesamorelin —The Long Game: Why Tesamorelin still retains its visceral fat-burning properties even alongside HGH, why secretagogues are redundant on HGH, and why five-plus years is the real timeline
• HGH Causing Seborrheic Dermatitis: Why elevated IGF-1 increases sebaceous gland activity, why switching to a secretagog may reduce but not eliminate the issue, and when dropping HGH altogether is the right call
• SIBO and Candida Protocol: Why oral BPC and KPV are the foundation, the role of fasting and carnivore in starving off gut overgrowth, and why Dr. Scott and holistic practitioners are the right people to guide this
• Peptides for Eye Health After Statin Damage: Why SS-31 is the most promising compound with clinical trials behind it, and why BPC, TB-500, Epithalon, and Visalutin are also worth researching
• 8% Body Fat Firefighter Overtraining: Why one or two rest days accelerate results, why sleep and stress management outrank adding compounds, and why fasting is JD's top lean-out tool for men
• Longevity Stack for Women Over 60: Why HGH is the unanimous pick for bone density and belly fat, why SS-31 before MOTS-C is non-negotiable, and why creatine is the most underrated supplement for older women
• Klotho Peptide — Early Impressions: Why JD and Will are both running it now and will report back once they have firsthand experience to share

Haas sit down with Tim Elkins, JD's first mentor in business and now owner of Elkins Cattle Co., one of Texas's largest cattle operations spanning 40 to 50 thousand acres.

We cover:🐄 How beef actually gets to your table– 90% of American beef passes through just four companies: JBS, Cargill, Tyson, and National Beef– These four have a stranglehold monopoly on the entire industry and prioritize speed and profit over quality– 70% of beef consumed in America is foreign beef. Most people have no idea– Animals are often slaughtered at under 12 months old or as old non-producing cows to cut costs– Horse meat in fast food chains: confirmed. And it is more widespread than just Taco Bell
🚫 What store-bought beef actually contains– Hormones, antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, and artificial additives are standard practice in commercial beef production– Wagyu labeling loophole: a product only needs 0.001% wagyu genetics to legally use the wagyu label. That ribeye at Costco is not what you think it is– "Grass-fed" on a label means almost nothing. Every cow has eaten at least one piece of grass. The label has no meaningful standard– Pink slime in ground beef is real and it comes from reputable-looking places, not just fast food– Veal in most restaurants is almost certainly a calf that died in transit or in a pen, not one that was intentionally raised for that purpose
🥩 What Elkins Cattle Co. does differently– Zero hormones, zero antibiotics, zero mRNA vaccines, zero shortcuts– All animals are 30 months old at slaughter, not 12 months– 40 to 50 thousand acres across Texas, nearly 9,000 head of cattle– Consumer direct: order by Monday, ships frozen to your door by Tuesday– Retina scanning technology tags every animal daily, tracking food intake, water, health markers, and time spent laying down. Red X spray marks any animal that needs attention that morning– Grass-fed AND grass-finished: fed four specific grasses including coastal Bermuda, Klein, native grasses, and winter oats to mimic the intramuscular fat quality of grain-finished beef without any GMO grain inputs– Animal welfare is non-negotiable: a stressed, unhappy cow does not gain weight properly and the difference shows up in the meat
