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.

39:49 – 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

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 – Intro
00:10 – Welcome Back & South Carolina Trip
00:27 – Visiting a 503A/503B Lab
02:01 – Why They Take These Trips & Dealing With Online Hate
05:28 – Skool Platform & Coaching Program Updates
09:42 – New Format: Feedback From Listeners
10:34 – Recap: The Elkins Cattle Co Episode
14:08 – Q&A: Tracking a COA to a Specific Bottle
19:40 – Q&A: HGH vs. TESA/IPA Secretagogues
25:36 – Q&A: Statin/Blood Pressure Meds & SS-31 for Eye Health
29:02 – Q&A: HGH Causing Seborrheic Dermatitis
33:59 – Q&A: Fixing SIBO & Candida
39:06 – Q&A: How Much Visceral Fat Is Normal?
44:05 – Q&A: Reducing Inflammation & Blood Pressure Naturally
48:47 – Q&A: BAM-15 & SLU-PP-332 Coupling Explained
1:01:12 – 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

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down with Tim Elkins, JD's first mentor in business and now owner of Elkins Cattle Co., one of Texas's largest cattle operations spanning 40 to 50 thousand acres. This one is not about peptides. It is about what is actually in your food and why it matters just as much.

Chapters:
00:00 – Intro
00:13 – Meeting Tim Elkins
01:36 – Tim's Background: Finance to Cattle Ranching
07:53 – The Time Management Lesson That Changed JD's Career
10:35 – Cattle Ranch to Table: How the Industry Really Works
12:23 – The "Big Four" Monopoly Explained
14:24 – Why Elkins Cattle Co Refuses to Cut Corners
18:46 – The Truth About Foreign Beef
21:00 – Why Ribeye Prices Doubled & Who Profits
25:03 – Grocery Store Ground Beef: What's Really In It
29:44 – What's Legal But Should Shock You
34:29 – How to Tell a Cheated Steak From a Real One
39:10 – The Truth About "Wagyu" Labels at Costco
42:47 – Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Finished Explained
47:26 – Inside a Feedlot: How They Track Every Animal
54:08 – How Buying Local Can Starve Out the Big Four & Outro

We cover:
🐄 How beef actually gets to your table
– 90% of American beef passes through just four companies: JBS, Cargill, Tyson, and National Beef
– These four have a stranglehold monopoly on the entire industry and prioritize speed and profit over quality
– 70% of beef consumed in America is foreign beef. Most people have no idea
– Animals are often slaughtered at under 12 months old or as old non-producing cows to cut costs
– Horse meat in fast food chains: confirmed. And it is more widespread than just Taco Bell

🚫 What store-bought beef actually contains
– Hormones, antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, and artificial additives are standard practice in commercial beef production
– Wagyu labeling loophole: a product only needs 0.001% wagyu genetics to legally use the wagyu label. That ribeye at Costco is not what you think it is
– "Grass-fed" on a label means almost nothing. Every cow has eaten at least one piece of grass. The label has no meaningful standard
– Pink slime in ground beef is real and it comes from reputable-looking places, not just fast food
– Veal in most restaurants is almost certainly a calf that died in transit or in a pen, not one that was intentionally raised for that purpose

🥩 What Elkins Cattle Co. does differently
– Zero hormones, zero antibiotics, zero mRNA vaccines, zero shortcuts
– All animals are 30 months old at slaughter, not 12 months
– 40 to 50 thousand acres across Texas, nearly 9,000 head of cattle
– Consumer direct: order by Monday, ships frozen to your door by Tuesday
– Retina scanning technology tags every animal daily, tracking food intake, water, health markers, and time spent laying down. Red X spray marks any animal that needs attention that morning
– Grass-fed AND grass-finished: fed four specific grasses including coastal Bermuda, Klein, native grasses, and winter oats to mimic the intramuscular fat quality of grain-finished beef without any GMO grain inputs
– Animal welfare is non-negotiable: a stressed, unhappy cow does not gain weight properly and the difference shows up in the meat
