We begin the show by stating that eveything discussed is for education purposes only. Nothing contained in the biohackhumans podcast are intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. Seek out the care of a competent health care provider.

Biohackers Inc is a 501c3 non profit organization. To keep bringing top notch education each week, we are requesting donations. Patrons may receive shout outs, biohackers gear, spots on the show and advertising.

If you enjoy the show, we ask you not only ensure all your friends and family subscribe on iTunes, Google Play or iHeart Radio and very soon Spotify, but also to leave an honest 5 star review.

We are joined this week by top New Jersey personal trainer Jared Rappoport. Jared currently trains at Ovox Gym in Morganville, New Jersey. Jared specializes in both body building and total body transformations. He has been a personal trainer for over a decade and there's no slowing down now. 

Clients and patients alike both bring up different ideas and concepts they hear about that they are unsure about. 

As individuals are always lookig for the competitive edge, more and beginning to turn to SARMS, which is an acronym for Selective Androgen Modulator Receptors. These chemicals have been around since the 1940's but really only have become a part of the main stream (filled with controversey) since the 1990's. The initial purpose of the development of SARMS was to treat a plethora of diseases such as cancer, hypogonadism, osteoporosis, Alzheimers, catexia and more. 

The best way to describe how SARMS work is to think of them as a puzzle piece. These puzzle pieces can only fit into specific slots in your body (receptor sites). Therefore, SARMS may float around the body and do nothing until they attach themselves to the appropriate receptor site, unlocking specific aspects of ones DNA such as preventing muscle and bone wasting. 

In comparing SARMS to testosterone cypionate, it appears SARMS may actually be 200 times more anabolic and 80 times more selective for the receptor sites. This means side effects are limited at best as compared to anabolic steroids for the treatment of diseases. 

While most research on SARMS has been conducted in lab mice, phase 1 trails on humans have begun. This is why SARMS are only available for purchase for research purposes only and not for human consumption. 

Some of the most popular SARMS are:

LGD-4033- prevents catexia by enhancing lean muscle mass and reduces body fat.

MK-2866- also prevents catexia by maintaining and increasing lean body mass and recomping.

S4- designed to cure osteoporosis and increases bone density

RAD140- possible cure for Alzheimers

A substance which is in the SARMS family but would be considered more of a distant cousin as it's not technically a SARM is GW 501516. This may greatly increase ones physical endurance and is one of the two substances used and detected that had top 2017 Cross Fit Games athlete Ricky Gerard disqualified, suspended and outcasted by his peers. However, until the detection of this substance, he was giving 3 time Cross Fit Games Champion Mat Fraser, a run for his money.

Some benefits of SARMS are:

Non-toxic.

Prevents calcium depletion (bone loss).

Decreases the risk of prostate dysfunction. 

Will not interfere with ones HPTA.

Will not convert to estrogen.

Some human performance benefits include:

Increased muscle strength.

Increased muscle size.

Tissue selective.

Inhibits cancer cell division.

Regulates libido.

Side Effects of SARMS

I would like to be able to comfortably list the known side effects of SARMS but in reality, thus far long term research has not been available to understand what these effects may be. Any known side effects may occur due to unregulated SARMS being laced with anabolic steroids and pro-hormones. This is why if a qualified individual does research on SARMS, they should ensure the laboratory they obtain their research chemicals from is up to par.
