    Peptide of the Week: Epithalon & Glutathione – Longevity, Sleep & Detox

    2026-09-28 | 47 mins.
    Medical Disclaimer: We are not doctors. The content in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.
    Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas get back to basics with two compounds that belong in almost everyone's stack. Epithalon for longevity, sleep, and cellular aging. Glutathione for detox, liver protection, and immune support. Simple, powerful, and underutilized.
    Chapters:00:00 – Intro00:09 – Show Updates & Shirt Talk02:15 – Heading to the Olympia02:58 – Behind the Scenes of Bodybuilding Prep05:26 – JD's Mold-Related Cough Diagnosis07:50 – New Podcast Format & Upcoming Compounds10:01 – School & Coaching Program Updates10:41 – Carnivore vs. Macros: Finding What Works13:33 – Epitalon: Origins in Russian Bioregulator Science15:03 – Why Most Peptides Lack FDA Clinical Trials17:20 – Big Pharma's Incentives & Hidden Cures21:53 – Epitalon: Longevity, Immune Support & Sleep27:53 – What to Stack With & Avoid on Epitalon32:13 – Glutathione: Why Everyone Should Take It34:57 – Delivery Methods & Global Uses39:49 – Dosing Protocols: Epitalon & Glutathione Math
    We cover:🧬 What is Epithalon?– A four amino acid synthetic peptide made of alanine, glutamate, aspartate, and glycine– One of Dr. Khavinson's Soviet bioregulators developed in the 1970s military research program– Works directly on the pineal gland, the pea-sized gland in your brain that regulates sleep and hormones– In 2026, an FDA advisory committee voted 7 to 4 to recommend adding it to the approved compound list (advisory only, not yet policy)– Cannot be patented because it is a naturally occurring compound, so there is no financial incentive for big pharma to fund large trials
    🔬 What Epithalon does– Telomere lengthening: Dr. Khavinson's studies showed it extends the telomere caps on your chromosomes, theoretically slowing cellular aging. Animal models showed extended lifespan– Sleep and circadian rhythm reset: deepens sleep, reduces nighttime waking, helps reset disrupted sleep cycles. One of the top reasons people run it– Immune resilience: lowers free radical damage systemically, especially helpful for overtrained athletes and chronically stressed people
    ⚠️ What to avoid with Epithalon– Alcohol– High-dose melatonin (it can replace melatonin, do not stack them)– Extra sedatives while running it for sleep– Theoretical caution with active cancer due to pineal gland's role in cell regulation (not proven, just noted)– Not WADA banned but classified as a non-approved substance for tested athletes
    🛡️ What is Glutathione?– Discovered in 1888, actively used in Italy to treat Parkinson's after independent human trials– Your body's master antioxidant and the most important detox compound available– Scavenges free radicals, recycles vitamins C and E so they keep working, and escorts toxins out of the body
    🔬 What Glutathione actually does– Liver detox and protection: number one clinical use in Western medicine, especially post-alcohol and for fatty liver support– Parkinson's and neuroprotection: proven in human trials to protect nerves from chemotherapy damage– Immune support and long COVID recovery: being used in post-viral fatigue and long COVID protocols– Skin lightening: the number one global use. High doses will make you pale. Low doses for wellness will not

    Does Your COA Even Match Your Vial? | Peptide of the Week Q&A

    2026-09-24 | 1h 11 mins.
    Medical Disclaimer: We are not doctors. The content in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk.
    Welcome back, warriors! In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham and William T. Haas are live from South Carolina touring a 503A/503B FDA-approved compounding facility. They cover how to vet a peptide source beyond the COA, HGH as a long-term play, seborrheic dermatitis triggered by HGH, SIBO and Candida gut protocols, peptides for eye health, and longevity tools for women over 60.
    Chapters:00:00 – Intro00:10 – Welcome Back & South Carolina Trip00:27 – Visiting a 503A/503B Lab02:01 – Why They Take These Trips & Dealing With Online Hate05:28 – Skool Platform & Coaching Program Updates09:42 – New Format: Feedback From Listeners10:34 – Recap: The Elkins Cattle Co Episode14:08 – Q&A: Tracking a COA to a Specific Bottle19:40 – Q&A: HGH vs. TESA/IPA Secretagogues25:36 – Q&A: Statin/Blood Pressure Meds & SS-31 for Eye Health29:02 – Q&A: HGH Causing Seborrheic Dermatitis33:59 – Q&A: Fixing SIBO & Candida39:06 – Q&A: How Much Visceral Fat Is Normal?44:05 – Q&A: Reducing Inflammation & Blood Pressure Naturally48:47 – Q&A: BAM-15 & SLU-PP-332 Coupling Explained1:01:12 – Q&A: CJC/Ipa Reactions & the Ideal Longevity Stack
    We cover:• Can You Trust a COA Is From the Right Batch?: Why there's no perfect answer, why cost and transparency are the best vetting tools, and why good companies test the same batch multiple times
    • HGH vs Tesamorelin —The Long Game: Why Tesamorelin still retains its visceral fat-burning properties even alongside HGH, why secretagogues are redundant on HGH, and why five-plus years is the real timeline
    • HGH Causing Seborrheic Dermatitis: Why elevated IGF-1 increases sebaceous gland activity, why switching to a secretagog may reduce but not eliminate the issue, and when dropping HGH altogether is the right call
    • SIBO and Candida Protocol: Why oral BPC and KPV are the foundation, the role of fasting and carnivore in starving off gut overgrowth, and why Dr. Scott and holistic practitioners are the right people to guide this
    • Peptides for Eye Health After Statin Damage: Why SS-31 is the most promising compound with clinical trials behind it, and why BPC, TB-500, Epithalon, and Visalutin are also worth researching
    • 8% Body Fat Firefighter Overtraining: Why one or two rest days accelerate results, why sleep and stress management outrank adding compounds, and why fasting is JD's top lean-out tool for men
    • Longevity Stack for Women Over 60: Why HGH is the unanimous pick for bone density and belly fat, why SS-31 before MOTS-C is non-negotiable, and why creatine is the most underrated supplement for older women
    • Klotho Peptide — Early Impressions: Why JD and Will are both running it now and will report back once they have firsthand experience to share
    You're a warrior. Act like one.
