Peptide of the Week: TRT & HCG – Why Testosterone Optimization Comes First
Welcome back, warriors. This week, JD Denham and William T. Haas take a detour from peptides to unpack something foundational testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and HCG. Why? Because before peptides can elevate performance… your hormones need to be dialed in.

Here’s what we cover:
🧪 TRT 101 – What testosterone is, why it drops, and why most men over 35 are walking around with dangerously low levels💉 Injection Protocols – Dosing, esters (Cypionate, Enanthate, Propionate), pinning frequency, and why the “one size fits all” approach never works🧠 Symptoms of Low T – From brain fog and depression to stubborn belly fat and low drive, this is what 300 ng/dL really feels like🛠️ Side Effect Management – Estrogen spikes, gyno, acne, and how AIs like Arimidex come into play🔄 Coming Off TRT – HCG, Enclomiphene, post-cycle therapy, and how to restart natural production when the time comes👶 Staying Fertile on TRT – JD’s personal story of getting his wife pregnant while on testosterone with HCG support💪 How to Boost Test Naturally – Training, cold exposure, sleep, diet, and why getting your body back to “ancestral stress” matters🔥 The Stigma is Dying – Why more men are speaking up about hormone health, and why living at 300 testosterone is the real risk

Peptide of the Week: SS-31 & CJC-1295/Ipamorelin – Energy, Recovery & Growth Hormone Support
Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas dive into two peptides with drastically different benefits: SS-31, a mitochondrial optimizer for cellular energy and longevity, and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, one of the most popular growth hormone secretagogues on the market.
SS-31 is a powerful mitochondrial peptide that cleans up cellular waste, improves ATP production, reduces inflammation, and combats fatigue at the root level. Meanwhile, CJC-1295 paired with Ipamorelin promotes fat loss, better sleep, recovery, and natural HGH production but must be dosed carefully due to rare allergy risks.
We cover:
⚡ What SS-31 is and how it boosts mitochondrial integrity and ATP output🧬 Why it helps with chronic fatigue, inflammation, and cellular healing💉 Dosing protocols why most people feel real results at 5mg+🔥 Synergistic stack: SS-31 + MOTS-c for full mitochondrial energy + nutrient delivery🧠 SS-31’s potential for brain clarity, stamina, and aging slower📈 Why SS-31 is ideal for people with low energy, poor recovery, or slow wound healing💪 What CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin do for natural growth hormone production🌙 Why CJC is best dosed at night to support deep sleep and recovery🚫 Rare allergy warning for CJC-1295 (histamine response, flushing, hives)📏 Dosing tips 100–200mcg daily, what “no DAC” means, and why it matters🧪 Ideal stacks with testosterone, AOD-9604, TB-500, and BPC-157🛡️ Who should avoid CJC (those with insulin sensitivity, or prone to allergic response)
💡 Whether you're rebuilding cellular energy or tapping into natural growth hormone SS-31 and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin cover two crucial pathways for total-body optimization.
