Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas break down two peptides that are more connected than you'd think KPV for inflammation and gut health, and PT-141 for libido and arousal. One calms the fire inside, the other lights a different kind of fire.

Chapters:

00:00 Intro

00:09 Welcome & Banter (Myrtle Beach, Sharks)

03:23 Today's Topics Overview

05:55 KPV: What It Is & How It Works

08:06 KPV vs NSAIDs – Targeted Inflammation

09:00 KPV for Gut Health & Stacking with BPC

15:00 Stress, Cortisol & Body Composition

20:25 Peptides vs Western Medicine

21:26 KPV Real Life Results

25:43 PT-141: Introduction

26:14 How PT-141 Was Discovered

27:21 PT-141 vs Viagra/Cialis

36:22 PT-141 Dosing Tips & Final Thoughts

37:49 Outro

We cover:

🧬 What is KPV?

– A tri-peptide (just 3 amino acids) derived from alpha-MSH — the same hormone PT-141 comes from

– Your body naturally produces it — virtually zero side effect profile

– Selectively targets inflammation rather than shutting it all off like NSAIDs

– Calms cytokine storms and autoimmune responses without killing good inflammation

– Works in tandem with BPC-157 — KPV calms the environment, BPC does the tissue repair

🔥 What KPV actually treats

– Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis, IBS, leaky gut

– Inflammatory skin conditions — eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, chronic acne

– Post-antibiotic gut damage — if you ran antibiotics, run KPV

– Athletes overtraining — reduces chronic inflammation that slows recovery past 48 hours

– Any autoimmune condition driven by gut dysfunction

⚠️ The cortisol connection

– Stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and travel all spike cortisol — your body's fight-or-flight hormone

– Cortisol breaks muscle down, converts it to sugar, and stores fat right at the belly button

– Less than 5 hours of sleep = no fat burning, no muscle building all day long

– Alcohol keeps your body out of fat-burning mode until 2–3 PM the next day

– KPV helps combat the inflammatory cascade that chronic cortisol creates

🔥 What is PT-141?

– Also derived from alpha-MSH — same origin as KPV, completely different job

– Discovered accidentally in the 1980s at University of Arizona during tanning research — men started getting spontaneous erections

– FDA approved in 2019 for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in post-menopausal women

– Works on the BRAIN — not blood vessels like Viagra or Cialis

– Boosts dopamine = increases desire, motivation, and arousal from the inside out

– Works equally well for men AND women

💡 How it feels (real-world experience)

– Kicks in 45 minutes after injection

– Flushing/redness right after injection is normal

– Arousal builds gradually — touch or kissing accelerates the effect significantly

– Hypersensitivity during the act

– Too much = nausea, elevated blood pressure, feeling "off" — find your dose

– JD's experience at 2mg: incredible night, felt like a 16-year-old all the next day — too much

⚠️ What to watch with PT-141

– Can raise blood pressure at higher doses — monitor if sensitive

– Nausea is common, especially early on — usually a quick wave that passes

– Do NOT take with uncontrolled hypertension

– Don't combine with other vasodilators carelessly

🧪 This isn't theory this is real-world experience working with hundreds of people and seeing what actually works.

• AOD-9604 After 13 Weeks: Why it's time to rotate and what SLU-PP-332 and 5-Amino-1-MQ can replace it with

• PNC-27 for Cancer Prevention: What the science says and why fasting may still be the smarter proactive move

• Back Injury at Night, Fine During Day: When BPC + TB-500 help vs. when it's a structural issue requiring higher doses

• Loose Skin After Major Fat Loss: Why GHK-CU beats Snap-8 for collagen remodeling and why HGH is the real game changer

• Traveling With Peptides: Check your bag, use a peptide case, travel unmixed, and why syringes cause more headaches than peptides

• Switching From Tirzepatide to Retatrutide: Why poor appetite is a side effect not a goal and why you don't need to wait 14 days

• Sleep Protocol That Actually Worked: Magnesium glycinate, glycine, ashwagandha, time-release melatonin and Epithalon for circadian reset

• Anavar vs. Clenbuterol: Why Clen is largely outdated and why high-dose SLU-PP-332 or Retatrutide does it cleaner

• HGH Plus Tesamorelin — Does It Make Sense?: Why Tessa still burns belly fat even when HGH suppresses pituitary signaling

• Chronic Heel Tendonitis Protocol: Why two years of injury needs a heavy loading blast and why rest matters just as much

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas are joined by Dr. Sam Borghei 20-year ER physician and owner of My Hair MD and Todd Padberg, General Manager of My Hair MD. We dig into hair restoration, natural-looking results, peptides for recovery, and the future of medicine.

Chapters:

00:00 – Intro & Guest Introduction03:18 – ER Life, Stress & Burnout06:14 – Personality Traits of ER Doctors10:08 – Transition Out of ER12:16 – Hair Transplant Process Explained18:04 – Procedure, Recovery & Limitations23:02 – Industry Trends & Patient Demand25:55 – Recovery, Peptides & Healing29:41 – Cost Breakdown & Expectations34:23 – Preventative Medicine & Telehealth Vision38:57 – Trust in Medicine Post-COVID43:12 – Peptides, Research & Future Outlook49:00 – Fitness, Hormones & Lifestyle54:54 – Contact Info & Outro

We cover:

🧬 Who is Sam Borghei? 20+ years in frontline ER medicine. Now owner of My Hair MD in San Diego and building a telehealth longevity platform focused on hormone optimization, weight loss, and personalized wellness.

✂️ How a hair transplant works FUE method: follicles are individually extracted from the DHT-resistant donor zone (back of the head). A 3,000–3,500 graft procedure involves 10,500+ steps over 6–8 hours. Grafts are sorted by size heavy grafts go to the back, singles go up front for a natural hairline. Those donor follicles do NOT grow back you have a finite supply (6,000–10,000 max).

🎨 The art of a natural result Hairlines are drawn jagged on purpose. Single hairs line the very front, temples are always filled in, and age-appropriate design matters. Artistry makes all the difference.

💉 Peptides & hair recovery Will used BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu shampoo post-transplant. BPC-157 and TB-500 support angiogenesis and blood flow to follicles. GHK-Cu supports collagen production and scalp stabilization. Will's results were fast with minimal shedding. PRP and laser light therapy are also available at My Hair MD.

💊 Medications that protect your transplant Dutasteride blocks DHT (which miniaturizes and kills follicles). Minoxidil increases blood flow to support graft survival. Both are commonly used alongside transplants.

💡 Pricing FUE: ~$3.50/graft | FUT strip: ~$3.00/graft. All-inclusive, no hidden fees, financing available. Online consultations offered. Contact Todd: [email protected]

🩺 Where medicine is heading Dr. Borghei's telehealth platform (Summer) offers personalized longevity plans biomarker monitoring, hormone optimization, weight loss, and hair restoration. His take: medicine is not one-size-fits-all, and the patient-physician relationship needs to come back.

🧠 Real talk on peptides Peptides are chains of amino acids with a remarkably low risk profile compared to many pharmaceuticals. FDA classifications are shifting, research is coming, and early adopters are already seeing results.

🧬 What is NAD+? A coenzyme found in every cell in your body — essential for life. Powers over 500 enzymatic reactions and is critical for ATP (cellular energy) production. Declines dramatically with age: 100% at birth → 55% by age 40 → 34% by age 60. That decline is why we age — cells stop repairing and regenerating as well.

🔥 What NAD+ actually does – DNA and cellular repair — slows aging at the genetic level – Boosts natural cellular energy (not stimulant energy) – Neuroprotective — mental clarity, sharper focus, better brain function – Improves insulin sensitivity, lipid regulation, and cardiovascular function – Regulates inflammatory pathways and immune response

🧠 What is Tesofensine? A triple reuptake inhibitor (serotonin + dopamine + norepinephrine). Originally developed for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's — researchers noticed patients losing massive amounts of weight. Clinical trials showed 9–11% average body weight loss over 24 weeks.

⚖️ How Tesofensine works – Targets the brain — makes food stop giving you a dopamine hit – Reduces cravings for sweets and junk without fully suppressing hunger like GLP-1s – Does NOT spike blood sugar during fasting – Real energy increase — dopamine-driven motivation, not jittery stimulant energy – Great GLP-1 transition compound for weaning off without falling off track

💡 Real-world experience JD's first run felt off and tired — gave it a bad rep initially. Second run (last 3 weeks): loves the focused, clean energy, similar to Modafinil. Will: no more naps, more motivated, doesn't want to miss the day. Both agree — take it in the first half of the day, it will keep you up.

⚠️ What to avoid – Do NOT combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, or NDRIs (Zoloft, Wellbutrin, etc.) – Reduce caffeine — unnecessary stimulant overload – Do NOT combine with Modafinil – Not recommended for uncontrolled hypertension, bipolar disorder, or severe anxiety – Monitor blood pressure and run regular bloodwork

• Kisspeptin on TRT — Why It Won't Work: How TRT shuts down the signal kisspeptin needs and why HCG is the smarter choice for testicular health on cycle

• IGF-1 LR3 Stacking Rules: Why combining HGH, secretagogues, and IGF-1 all at once is too much on the same pathway — and how to rotate smarter

• Peptide Shelf Life & Storage Explained: Bacteriostatic vs. sterile water, why HGH is especially sensitive, and the practical rule of thumb for reconstituted peptides

• What Causes NAD+ to Crystallize: Dilution ratios, the importance of amber vials, and how to troubleshoot this common issue

• Kisspeptin After Hysterectomy: Why it likely won't work without the ovaries and why direct hormone replacement is the better path forward

• HGH Safety for Post-Menopausal Women: Addressing 50 pounds of menopause weight gain, why 1 IU of HGH beats secretagogues at this stage, and peptides that target brain fog, mood, skin, and libido

• CJC vs. Tesamorelin for Women with Water Retention: Why switching to Tessa and adding AOD is the cleaner approach when CJC causes uncomfortable fluid retention

• Low Testosterone at 28 — Fix That First: Why 315 total and 15 free testosterone explains SSRIs, brain fog, depression, and low energy better than anything else

• Building Lean Muscle for a Rugby Athlete Without Steroids: Why SLU-PP-332, Cardarine, creatine, and smart fasting are the right tools at 26

• BPC-157 Subcutaneous vs. Local Injection for Back Injuries: Why abdominal sub-q still works systemically and how BPC + TB-500 rebuild connective tissue post-dislocation

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas break down two of the most underrated fat-burning peptides out there — HGH Fragment 176-191 and AOD 9604 what makes them different, how to use them, and why they deserve a spot in your cutting stack.

Chapters:

00:00 – Intro & Marriage / Work Balance

10:30 – AOD 9604 vs HGH Frag Intro

14:29 – AOD Origins & Fat Loss Benefits

19:13 – Half-Life, Dosing & How It Works

29:00 – Why Real Experience Matters

29:54 – Company Growth & What’s Next

31:13 – Hair Transplant Guest Preview

31:58 – Doctors Finally Talking Peptides

32:32 – Final Thoughts & Outro

We cover:

🧬 What these peptides actually are

– Both are fragments of the full 191 amino acid HGH chain

– HGH Frag 176-191 = the natural amino acid sequence (176–191)

– AOD 9604 = lab-engineered version (177–191), modified for longer duration and better safety profile

– AOD received FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status in 2014

– Developed at Monash University in Australia 🇦🇺

🔥 What they do (and what they don't)

– Target lipolysis — fat burning, especially visceral/abdominal fat

– Boost metabolism and increase energy expenditure

– No IGF-1 spike

– No hypoglycemia risk

– No effect on growth — zero cancer concern

– 30–50% greater fat reduction vs controls in studies

– Obese participants lost significantly more body fat vs placebo over 12 weeks

⚖️ HGH Frag 176-191

– Natural fragment of the HGH chain

– Half-life: ~30 minutes

– Can dose 1–2x daily (some go 3x)

– Best taken fasted — morning or pre-workout

– Cycle length: 8–12 weeks

– Comes in 5mg bottles (they don't like water — keep it small)

👑 AOD 9604

– Lab-engineered, modified for longer stability

– Half-life: 30–60 minutes

– Daily dosing (can split AM/PM)

– Additional benefit: potential cartilage and joint repair (not seen with HGH Frag)

– Cycle length: 12–16 weeks

– FDA GRAS status — one of the safest peptides available

– JD's personal top 5 — shines brightest stacked with other cutting compounds

🚫 What NOT to combine

– High-dose corticosteroids

– Full-dose HGH (defeats the purpose of the targeted safety advantage)

– Insulin (just don't)

✅ What pairs great with these

– GLP-1 agonists (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)

– 5-Amino-1MQ

– L-Carnitine

– BPC-157 + TB-500 (especially with AOD for joint/cartilage synergy)

– CJC + Ipamorelin (boosts metabolism and fat burning further)

🧠 Real-world take

– AOD shines brightest when stacked — it's a force multiplier for your cutting stack

– HGH Frag works fast and hits hard on a short half-life

– Both are tools — results depend on diet, training, and what you stack them with

– Individual response varies — don't let your gym bro's experience dictate yours

🔑 Bottom line: If you want pure fat burning with virtually zero downsides, these two are as clean as it gets.

🧪 This isn't theory this is real-world experience working with hundreds of people and seeing what actually works.

We cover:

🧬 GLP-1 Basics (Semaglutide & Tirzepatide)

– Designed for blood sugar regulation + appetite control

– Slows gastric emptying → keeps you fuller longer

– Improves insulin sensitivity

– Best for:

• Fat loss

• Appetite control

• Metabolic health

🔥 The Problem With Most Users

– 95% of people misuse GLPs

– No focus on protein intake

– No resistance training

– No hormone optimization

– Result:

• Muscle loss

• Slowed metabolism

• Poor long-term results

⚠️ Reality Check

– GLPs are NOT magic

– Without proper nutrition + training → you get skinny fat

– Education is the missing piece for most users

🚀 Retatrutide (Next-Level GLP)

– Triple agonist (GLP-1, GIP, Glucagon)

– Significantly stronger than semaglutide

– Increases fat loss AND metabolic output

– Potential to outperform all current fat loss drugs

– Future direction of the industry

💥 What’s Coming Next (Pipeline)

– Stage 4: Adds myostatin inhibition (muscle growth potential)

– Stage 5: Increases metabolic rate even at rest

– Future compounds may combine:

• Fat loss

• Muscle growth

• Metabolic enhancement

💪 Real Performance Insight

– GLPs should be paired with:

• High protein diet

• Strength training

• Proper recovery

– Microdosing can reduce side effects and improve sustainability

⚙️ Industry Truth

– Big pharma controls the GLP space

– Pricing and access will continue to be a major issue

– Research space is evolving rapidly

– Quality control and education will separate real results from scams
