ADVICE

Track O2 Sat After Fifty

  • Track oxygen saturation nightly once you hit ~50 because desaturation events under 91% indicate severe sleep-driven aging and recovery deficits.
  • Use an O2 sensor ring (Joel Greene recommends the Wellue ring) to see desaturation events, average O2, and guide interventions like mouthpieces or HBOT.
ANECDOTE

BPC Healed My Shoulder Then Lost Effect

  • Joel Greene reports BPC-157 healed his shoulder the first time but stopped working after years of use.
  • He framed this as personal experience to explain why interventions can lose effect over time.
INSIGHT

Peptides Often Work Then Stop And Carry Unknown Risks

  • Peptides can produce dramatic short-term effects but often lose effectiveness over years and carry unknown long-term risks.
  • Joel Greene warns mitochondrial peptides and unregulated formulations may cause histamine reactions and unknown cancer risks.
