If there's any two drugs that will take the world by storm for the current decade, it's going to be the weight loss peptides Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. In fact, Semaglutide is projected to make up $7 billion of the projected $30 billion in global sales of obesity...
If you have ever done any research on the Internet for losing extra pounds of fat, one of the "newest" trends appears to be biohacking weight loss. Not just any ordinary weight loss, but a promise of a century-old practice delivered in a hip way that leverages the...
In light of having covered almost every single therapeutic peptide in existence, I am continuing my new venture of organizing each one for its intended use. This week, I want to focus entirely on the best peptides for shredding body fat. These peptides are...
As much as I advocate for fully optimized health through a diet that adheres to metabolic flexibility, I like to live my life as well. It's important to enjoy the best-tasting foods and have some culinary freedom. But there's nothing more ridiculous than the...
There's no question in anybody's mind that people are getting fatter with each passing day. And the trend shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. The question isn't an "if" matter. It's a matter of whether we'll get fatter at a faster or slower rate than what...
America just keeps getting fatter and fatter -- it is projected that 50% of adults will be obese and 25% will be SEVERELY obese by 2030. For these individuals, repeating the "eat more and move less" mantra has clearly failed to work... meaning they'll need help from...
One of the fat loss agents I've kept in my toolbox for many years is the popular asthma treatment Albuterol. I featured it in all my books -- Metabolic Blowtorch Diet, TOT Bible, Guaranteed Shredded, and Living A Fully Optimized Life -- for a good reason: It's a...
It wouldn't make sense to end 2021 without something you can use to accelerate your path towards the most common New Year's resolution: Fat loss. And for that I want to present something new: Using the weight loss drug Semaglutide and the peptide AOD9604 in...
The fact that we’re seeing an astronomical increase in everything from obesity, to cancer and depression should come as no surprise. Nearly every part of our lives has been contaminated, and our hormones are out of whack as a collective because of it, paving the way...
A while ago, I received this question from a reader about cardiovascular training ("cardio") and therapeutic testosterone: "My normal resting heart rate is about 56 but when I am on TRT, my RHR [resting heart rate] and average heart rate both increase by 5 to 8 beats...
Let's get real: For a man, there's nothing more unattractive than having gynecomastia, also known as "gyno", "man boobs" or "b*tch tits". It cripples men to the point where they avoid dating or swimming in public pools. But it's no longer a rare condition: In Denmark...
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) has been a vital element of every bodybuilder's toolbox since the late-20th century -- one of the magical items that seemingly doesn't get mentioned alongside the phrase "eat clean and train hard" But perhaps there's a new way to use it......
Human growth hormone (HGH, or commonly abbreviated as just GH) is a vital hormone in men and women responsible for bodily growth as you age. But it also comes with other performance benefits: "...boosts protein production, promotes the utilization of fat...larger...
Let's face it: There are a lot of superficial benefits to having a slightly darker yet glowing skin complexion: Tanned people are perceived as more physically attractive Better defenses against antimicrobial disease and skin cancers Competitive bodybuilders can make...
Since my first book on testosterone replacement therapy was published in 2015, I have ALWAYS recommended the peptide Tesamorelin as one of the best fat loss agents in existence. Not only is Tesamorelin an essential part of my daily supplement stack, but I have gone...
Out of all the therapeutic peptides I have used since 2005, 5-Amino 1MQ is one of the BEST choices for simultaneous fat loss and muscle gain. It's one of the few tools in existence that allows highly advanced athletes to achieve their body recomposition goals without...
Nicotine is the one word that stokes images of death, cancer, yellow teeth, and damaged lungs in the mind of the average person. But if you take a few minutes to dive deeper into the science, you may find something quite unexpected. When you take away nicotine from...
Ipamorelin is the best peptide for fat loss - fact or fiction? I can confirm that you would be doing yourself a MASSIVE dis-service if Ipamorelin wasn't a critical part of your fat loss supplement stack. The same way you'd be missing out if you didn't use BPC-157 to...
This article isn't going to help prevent or treat COVID-19. Jay has already provided that with this article on the misconceptions of mask use and this one outlining how to treat the symptoms with an over-the-counter remedy. Those are must reads, no question. But...
https://youtu.be/fMm8UBEDaG0 In this phenomenal Podcast on using Therapeutic Peptides, Ben Greenfield, Jay Campbell, Ryan Smith and Nick Andrews drilled deep on how Peptides are revolutionizing Medicine. We discussed the most effective peptides in circulation for...
By Mitch Calvert Do you ever stay up late and curse yourself the next morning when your alarm clock goes off? Is it often paired with a bag of chips and bottle of wine? It’s a far too common problem I see clients make. But you seem unable to see the big picture in the...
By Mitch Calvert I’ve probably talked to people about food — and heard their struggles with diet — more than anything else in 2019. Enough times to see a few trends among those who succeed at this diet stuff and those who don’t. So what have I seen work amongst my...
You’ve probably seen or at least heard of the documentary The Game Changers. Maybe you watched it already and immediately dumped all the meat from your freezer into the garbage. But I’m here to present the facts from both sides, and documentaries like this one are...
Around this time of year, people are making all kinds of resolutions to improve their health. Some people want to lift more weight in the gym and possibly beat their all time 1-rep maxes on the “Big 3” (squat, bench, deadlift). Other people want to run a full-on...
There’s no question more infuriating for a fitness expert to get than “Hey man, what’s the best diet for me?” Especially since you already know the answer: “Well, it depends!” Body recomposition expert Lyle McDonald does a great job of briefly demonstrating why this...
Ketogenic dieting is such a big buzzword right now, but there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding it, especially when it comes to using it for metabolic flexibility. How can we use ketosis to burn fat, without it controlling our whole lives? Why is fasting one of...
When it comes to rapid and sustainable fat loss, I already wrote the definitive guide to doing so in The Metabolic Blowtorch Diet (MBTD). You never purely burn any of the 3 primary macronutrients, while selectively timing your training and carbohydrate intake for a...
Long-time readers know I have prolifically written about hormonal optimization and physique transformation at every level. I have published two comprehensive books about testosterone optimization therapy, Testosterone Optimization Therapy Bible and the TRT MANUal,...
When you’re using TOT, you're showing dedication to maintaining your body and mind in prime shape. However, those that use Testosterone Optimization Therapy also benefit from using “agents of change” — substances that help with altering your physique in the most...
As you have probably already learned a lot about insulin and what it does from our other articles, you know that a lot of insulin will cause you to become overweight eventually. So how do you combat this? How do you manage your insulin? An Insulin-Controlled Diet Yes,...
