Episode notes
Use Peptides To Stimulate Growth Hormone
- Consider growth-hormone–releasing peptides (GHRHs/GHRPs) to boost endogenous GH safely, not exogenous GH.
- Use protocols like five days on/two days off to enhance muscle hypertrophy and recovery.
Creatine For Muscle And Brain Health
- Take creatine HCL (5–20 g) daily, especially women over 40, to support muscle, joints, and cognition.
- Use lower-dose HCL to avoid bloating and aim for brain-saturating doses if targeting cognition.
Smart Sauna Use For Detox And Longevity
- Use sauna 15–20 minutes at 160–180°F (3–5x/week) and rehydrate; take activated charcoal after sauna during detox protocols.
- Wipe sweat during sessions to remove mobilized toxins from the skin.
