Tirzepatide to Retatrutide: The Mistake Everyone Makes - Dr Trevor Bachmeyer

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]So, a lot of questions on this one.

[00:00:01]Actually, valid questions and and yes, there are such thing as questions that aren't valid, but anyway, this is for everybody who has switched from tzepide to reattride and they're struggling with it. So, it this is what's happening right now and I'm just going to be blunt. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people who have switched from tzepide to redatide and they're sending me messages and thank you. I'm trying to help you as fast as I can, but they feel like everything got weaker.

[00:00:26]didn't work and they've already gone back to tzepide saying it's way better but the problem is and I don't really care what you use but I'm just trying to help you but they're running around telling all their friends hey listen yeah red or true tide didn't work for me that's wrong it's that biology didn't work for you and there is a massive difference so here's the thing about human physiology it doesn't care about your marketing or your Instagram transformation or your super guru stat guru status or whatever it is. It cares it it doesn't even care about what the pharmaceutical company says that works.

[00:01:01]It doesn't give a [ __ ] about any of that. Your body has this rule book.

[00:01:04]Biology has this set of rules that it always plays by. And if you don't understand that rule book, you're going to think that your Lamborghini is slower than some Honda because you're trying to drive it through the mud. It doesn't work. And that's I need you guys to understand this because you need to understand how you think about these two molecules and how they affect your biology. So tepatide walks into your biology. It's like a wrecking ball. It it's a GLP-1 gip receptor agonist. Okay.

[00:01:35]And GLP-1 is the one that everybody knows about, right? But GIP, this is the magic. This is the heavy hitter and nobody talks about it yet. It's the one that's doing the real work. So GIP, it's not some little sidekick that just happens to go come along because somebody was taking semiglutide beforehand. Let me paint a picture of what your atapost tissue does. Your fat cells, they aren't just sitting there hanging out being all fat. They're literally receiving signals about whether to store energy or whether to let it go. It's a gating mechanism.

[00:02:04]There's an on switch and an off switch.

[00:02:05]And I talk about this in my Insta post, but GIP receptor activation hammers the off switch. 2022 study in cell metabolism, peer-reviewed real studies, these guys, all these studies aren't real. They're all real. showed that GIP signaling directly suppresses atypogenesis and reduces lipogenic gene expression in white atapose tissue. Let me give you what the translation of that is. It tells your fat cells stop building, start store or stop building, stop storing, doors closed, homie. We're not doing anything. But this is very important because when you were running full throttle on tzepide, you probably felt like a beast. Your appetite disappeared. You weren't hungry. And you know why? Because your main metabolic bottleneck was hypercoric storage. Your body was saying, "We're storing everything you eat." And GIP came in and said, "No, we're stopping that."

[00:02:52]Immediately sent a notice out to all of your biology. So, you eat 2,000 calories and your body says, "We're storing 1,800 of those." And Tzepide says, "Nope, new rules." Boom. And the effect was massive. But here's the catch. This is where most people are missing. And all of the Insta Bros and Insta experts are missing the whole even the doctors, they're missing, which they shouldn't.

[00:03:12]They're missing the whole game.

[00:03:14]is designed to prevent storage. That's all it does. It's like putting a giant bouncer at the front of your house and nobody can come in. You can't you can't come in. But the problem is what if the issue is what's inside the house? What if the problem's already what's inside your house? And that's where this is screwy because red tide shows up. Same thing, right? GLP1 GIP, but it adds something tepatide doesn't have glucagon receptor agonism. So here's where people get confused by the I see it all over the internet, all over social media, and it's making me crazy because they're tell you guys are being confused by Insta experts that have no concept of what they're doing. I've seen this so many times. Glucagon is the same as GLP1. Are you out of your mind? They're not even close. They're being you guys are being confused because people are saying glucagon is the same thing as a GLP1. It's not. That's not even remotely close. That's like saying a boy is the same as a girl. And only in this weird 2026 world that are people thinking that going in the same change rooms. That's I'm sure you guys are going to get in my comments and get all mad and give me a low rating on this podcast. What the hell is wrong with you guys? So GLP a GLP1 and GIP they're satiety molecules.

[00:04:16]Let me drink some coffee out of my Snoopy happiness mug. They're appetite suppression, right? They're about signaling fullness, right? Your brain gets a message, we're good. Stop eating. Glagon is this mobilization molecule. It's not about appetite. It's about energy extraction. Glucagon comes in and says we need energy. Go get it. break down glycogen and fat and amino acids and mobilize everything. That's how powerful this glucagon is. No joke. 2023 study in nature on GLP1 GIP glucagon specifically reatride showed that glucagon receptor activation increases hippatic liver glucose output atapost tissue lipolysis and whole body energy expenditure by 20% compared to dual GLP1 and GIP agonists alone. That's a massive difference. If you have a hard time figuring out that math, add 20% to whatever your bank account is and look at how shocked you are because the translation is this.

[00:05:10]It's not closing the door anymore. It's opening it's kicking the punching the door open and says start moving all the energy out like now. But here's the problem. And this is this beautiful problem that nobody is talking about. If you switch from tzepite to redatide and you don't feel that satiety, right? If you still feel hungry, if the appetite suppression doesn't, it just doesn't hit the same. It's not because reatrite is a worse molecule or a garbage molecule. I don't have some personal investment in it. I'm just you need to understand the facts. So, because it's a better all-around molecule. It has so much more benefits. So, I'm thinking you probably want to use something that's better for you. It's because your body is literally refusing to listen to the glucagon signal. Your body is screaming, "I don't have any energy available. I can't mobilize. There's something blocking me." So, this is where we diagnose the real problem. So I want you to think about this mechanistically. So reatrite, watch. Redatrutide is sending a glucagon signal. Glucagon is supposed to mobilize energy, right? So what I just said, energy mobilization is supposed to feel pretty much like freedom. Supposed to feel like abundance. When your body has energy available and can move it, I'm telling you, man, you feel good. You feel so good. You have appetite control because you're not in survival mode.

[00:06:24]What if your body gets the signal and it can't respond? There's your problem because there So there there are four there's more but four main scenarios where this happens and I'll break down the biochemistry of each one because this is where the real diagnosis starts.

[00:06:37]The real work begins and this is where everybody's making mistakes. So if you're going to steal all my stuff and pretend you know what you're talking about and go try and diagnose clients is if you're I don't know some Insta bro or IFBB pro or some powerlter whatever it is you're doing that you go out and claim that you know so much. maybe understand biology a little more than you think you do because you're going to wind up hurting people. And I'm getting people all the time now more and more who are messaging me because they're getting advice from Insta Bros that really they use big fancy words but really don't understand what they're talking about. The reason why black card, just so you know, to work with me, you need to join the black card or you need to work one-on-one with me. Those are the only two options. And one-on-one is not cheaper. It's not a consult. It is much much more expensive. It's $250,000 for the year and there's a three-month waiting list and I only take 20 people a year. There's a reason because I want to be able to give you all I've got. I'm not doing this for the money. You are paying my family for me not being there. Just to be very transparent. The black card you get me for a year. I'm not getting on the phone with you, but you get to join my VIP community where you can actually talk to me. It's just through Mighty Mighty Networks is what I use. And you get access to the protocol library. You can send me your labs and your dexas and all the stuff that you want. Even your imaging if you need help with that. And I will help solve your problem. And you have me for an entire year. Plus, I do my live Q&A call with that private group every Monday at 5. I'm just east of Texas or just east of Dallas. I'm in Texas. So, if that's what you want to do, great. If you want to to join either one of those or you have more questions and no, I'm not going to get on a consult. I'm not I'm just not going to do it because when people go, I don't have the money for it, then I'm not for you. And that's okay. Don't get mad at me. People get mad. I get m I get angry emails from people or they give me the finger or they send me laughing emojis when they get told the price. What are you, five? just go somewhere else.

[00:08:17]That's getting mad at the Lamborghini dealership because they don't have a Festiva. I don't know what to tell you.

[00:08:21]So, please grow up a little bit. If you're going to want to work with me, there's a cost. It's $12,997 to join the black card. It's by wire transfer only. It's for one year for one person and that's it. And you need to send an email to [email protected] to my kick-ass executive assistant, my personal assistant, Mia, and she will get you all set up and help you get started. And that's all there is to it.

[00:08:44]And if you want to buy from my company, which is Elite Biogenics, then you can buy all the research products you want from that. And I will bleed for you.

[00:08:51]It's the same stuff I give my wife, my kids, my best friends, everybody I love and care about because nothing I actually got a message from somebody today on social media who said, "This is all He goes, I should I should post it.

[00:09:02]I'll probably get it'll probably get taken down." But the guy said, "I had Rea from two other places. Here's what happened with yours." And he sends me two pictures. And the guy looks freaking phenomenal. and he goes, "I just wanted to tell you thank you so much." Do you know how cool that is for me to hear? So there's a reason why I do this because I actually care. So anyway, that that's how you work with me and that's how everything works if you want to buy from my company. But look at let's start off with exactly what happens with your biology because like I said, there's four primary issues that are going on with just why the reatrite isn't working when you make the switch. This isn't for if you're just starting redatruide. You have to understand that if you're going from and if you go is the same thing with semiglutide. Yeah, it's just less pronounced, right? Cuz semaglutide is just dirty, right? Tzepatide is less dirty and redded is very clean. But the reddatide, the switch from tzepide to reatrite is a very common question. And I'm getting, like I was saying in the when I started this, inundated with people going, I've took advice from some soccer mom Insta expert selling peptides out of her kitchen, from some Insta expert that wrote an ebook, from somebody that's trying to claim to be a peptide expert, somebody who's stealing your stuff, somebody who's marketing using your videos, your AI likeness, all this stuff. And they're get you guys are if that's you're screwing people, man.

[00:10:14]You have no ethics and no, your moral compass is so screwed up. You don't know where you're going. And it really pisses me off to be honest because above all, do no harm. I don't care what you think of me. I'm out here because I care. I don't need to be out here. I don't need to be out here. I don't need the money.

[00:10:26]I don't frankly I don't have the time. I do it because I care. So, you can take that and do what you want with it. But if you give my comments and you start chirping about anything, you're a disrespectful son of a [ __ ] Because there's no reason for it cuz what what's your contribution? Nothing. I'm out here giving everything I've got because I genuinely love you. So, you do what you want with that. So, first problem is going to be high cortisol. I see this all the time. So, look at the cortisol.

[00:10:50]It's your stress hormone. It's like the security guard that stands in front of your energy vault. And when cortisol is high and chronically high, not just a little bump because of the day or something, it does something very beautiful and very crappy all at the same time. It suppresses what do you think? Glucagon sensitivity. Yeah. So 2019 study endocrinology showed chronic gluccocorticoid elevation impairs hippatic glucagon receptor signaling through this increased expression of phosphodiest phosphodiestase 3A which degrades. Excuse me, I was trying to swallow some coffee. which degrades the second messenger, cyclic AMP. Okay, what's cyclic AMP? It's the actual signal that glucagon uses to talk to your liver. High cortisol silences the phone line, that's how old I am, between glucagon and your cells. You're taking reatride. The molecule is perfect. It doesn't change. Your liver is getting hit with a glucagon signal, but your body is I don't know what you're talking about. Just a bunch of dead air. Here's the kick in the pants. High cortisol also does something else. It shuts down GLP1 receptor responsiveness too. So a study 2021 plus one showed that corticost cortosteroid exposure reduces GLP-1 stimulated insulin secretion and increases hpatic glucose output regardless of blood glucose levels.

[00:12:02]You're basically running on a molecule that your body goes, I'm not forget it.

[00:12:06]I'm not listening. I don't even want to hear it. It just tunes you out like it's like a three-year-old or some of you guys on social media. So you feel weak.

[00:12:12]You feel tired. You have crazy appetite.

[00:12:14]You're like you're so hungry because your body is firing conservation mode 24/7 365. So let's go through how to fix it. I'll just go through this right away. So first diagnosis is everything.

[00:12:24]You need cortisol timing, not just a single measurement. Now this is the only time I'll say it because it's easier.

[00:12:28]Saliva I'm not a huge fan of saliva cortisol tests. I realize people are like they're so accurate. There's much better ways to do it, but this is the fastest way to do it and it's the easiest. So saliva cortisol test at four time points. You need to do this. Follow me. 8:00 am, noon, 400 pm, midnight. And if you go, I don't want to get up, then quit worrying about it. Then just quit.

[00:12:48]That's when it should be at its lowest.

[00:12:49]It should be at its peak at 8 a.m. And it should be at its lowest at midnight.

[00:12:53]If that entire curve is elevated, if all four numbers are really high, you are dealing with real chronic elevation.

[00:13:00]Next, you go full carnivore. Here's why.

[00:13:03]Your gut microbiome is one of the primary regulators of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. A 2018 study nature reviews gastroenterenterology and hepatology showed disbiotic communities have higher significantly higher fecal endotoxin levels and increased lipopolyaccharide transllocation which activates TLR4 toll-like receptor 4 signaling and drives chronic systemic inflammation and HPA axis dysregulation.

[00:13:26]Let me explain what that means. I just want you to know these are real research studies. A weird microbiome keeps your cortisol high. Carnivore resets the microbiome. You're removing plant antigens. You're removing fermentable carbohydrates that feed pathogenic bacteria and you're giving your gut lining, the intestinal epithelium, a chance to heal. So, you eat, you ready?

[00:13:46]Listen, write this down. You eat grass-fed beef, salt, water. That's it for 2 weeks. 2 weeks. Not forever. 2 weeks. Not 13 days, not 11 days, not maybe 2 weeks, not 3 days on and then take a couple of days off and then go back at it. Two weeks. So, why beef, by the way? Yes. You can't eat pea protein or anything else. beef, grass-fed beef.

[00:14:07]Here's why. 2020 study in nutrients show that grass-fed beef is significantly higher in omega-3 fatty acids and CLA compared to grain-fed. Now, these fatty acids actively reduce systemic inflammation measured by HSC CRP, high sensitivity C reactive protein. And timing, this is important, too. You eat between 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Now, normally I would just say do it at 1 and 5. It's easy. This synchronizes your cortisol rhythm with your feeding window. Your body expects cortisol to be high at 8 a.m. when you're preparing for life. You're preparing to be active. If you're eating during the window when cortisol should be lower, morning, you're fighting your own circadian rhythm. A 2022 study in cell metabolism showed that high that timerestricted feeding to afternoon and evening hours in high cortisol individuals results in 28% greater HPA access recovery compared to morning feeding windows. So, there's more to this. You know what? Just listen. And we're going to go full crazy on this cuz I want you to have all the answers cuz people like you just give me all this. I'm giving it to you. You just got to listen to the whole damn podcast.

[00:15:07]And for the love of God, could you guys actually tell the world about my podcast and my YouTube channel and blow it up because I shouldn't have to beg you guys for this stuff. It's weird. You guys should just be going out and blowing up my channel. You guys should be going, you know what? You need to get on Spotify. You need to get on iTunes. You should just be like, how do I promote all of this for you? Because the information I give you, first of all, it's free. Second of all, it's 30 years of biology, biochemistry, medical, pyro, PT, you name it. It's all in there. And I'm giving it all to you for free because I care. I'm the only doctor out here, I think, on the planet that gives a crap about you this much. So, there's a metabolic stagnation problem. So, the engine is seized up. So, look at, let me explain. This is different from high cortisol. This is your metabolism literally giving you the finger and slowing down. Here's what happens.

[00:15:51]Caloric restrictions. So, most people jumping to Red Truth diet dieting for months, maybe years. They've been in this caloric deficit and their body has adapted. Their metabolic rate has dropped. Here's what happens. When you're in a a chronic deficit, your thyroid hormone, specifically three, the active form, gets suppressed. 2016 study in thyroid showed caloric restriction below 1500 calories a day, which is where a lot of you guys are or lower results in 30% reduction in RT reverse T3 to T3 ratio conversion with meaning your body produces less of the hormone that actually works. Your metabolic rate drops. Glucagon is supposed to do what?

[00:16:25]Mobilize energy, right? But if your metabolism is slow, there's not much energy available to mobilize. It's like asking a hibernating friaking bear to wake up and just start running sprints.

[00:16:34]The signal's there. The bear just ain't moving, son. So, you feel tired on Reddit True Tide. You don't feel the appetite suppression because there's no appetite. You're just depressed. Your energy is bottlenecked. So, how do you fix this? Watch. You do something completely counter counterintuitive. And this is where everybody's going to argue with me in the comments. Don't. I'm still right cuz I've done this thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of times. I've seen over a million patients. It's not a manufactured number. I really have. We could go through patient records if you really need to. It makes me nuts how people I don't know if that's really possible. It is because you know why it it might sound arrogant. It's not. It's cocky. I'm that faking good. Because I care. Because I care. I come out here.

[00:17:10]It's like I'm a dad and I love the child so much and the child is acting like a knucklehead. Are you nuts? I love you this much and you're acting like a bonehead. You know what I'm going to do?

[00:17:19]I'm just going to welcome you with open arms when you turn around. I'll go, "Come on, I got you. Let me give you a hug. Let's I'll be like, you know what?

[00:17:24]When the prodigal son comes home and I just give you the best robe and the best feast and I go, all right, dad loves you." Right? That's how you have to look at this. Even though sometimes I just want to beat you. So, you eat. That's what's counter. You eat specifically modified carnivore protocol with what I call strategic carbs. I'll give it to you. Just I'll give you I'm not gatekeeping it down. I never do. Three days carnivore. Okay. Beef, salt, water, caloric surplus. You eat until satiation, not until fullness. Big difference. Looking for roughly around 3,00 to 3500 calories if you weigh over 180 lbs. Day four, you add white rice.

[00:18:01]100 to 125 gram, 150 at the most. White rice post-workout. That's it. One meal.

[00:18:06]The rest is carnivore. Why? And listen, I'm going to modify this as we go through this, but I'm trying to give you these as separate pieces. I'm going to give you a full protocol at the end that goes through all four at the same time because a lot of the the patients that I see have all four of these problems.

[00:18:19]There's I realize I'm only on two have all four of these problems all going on at the same time. So, this is just step by step. If you only have one of these, if you have all four, just do the primary protocol I put at the end. And if you want to fast forward to the end, you're going to miss all the cool stuff.

[00:18:31]But anyway, why white rice? Because everybody just went mental. White rice is low on fitates, low in fiber, has very high glycemic index. 2018 study nutrition reviews showed white rice consumption results in rapid hippatic glycogen repletion and increases hpatic glucose output signaling which resets T3 reverse T3 ratio and restores metabolic rate. So white rice specifically, not brown rice, not sweet potato, not some cauliflower rice weird paleo thing you want to make. Brown rice contains lectins and phyates that actually suppress your metabolism. Just to be clear, if you need to know why you do this for 10 days, carnivore plus white rice on day four, starting day four.

[00:19:10]Now, here's the redatruide schedule. And this is crucial. You taper up to reatride right away when you've stopped.

[00:19:17]One, half a milligram redatide. Week two, 1 milligram redatride. Week three, 2 milligrams reatride. It's the only time I'll tell you this. Why? Because you're giving your metabolic machinery some time to wake up. You're not shocking the hell out of it. your glucose or your glycogen receptors are getting primed. By week three, your metabolism is actually running again and red or true tide works like it's supposed to. Now, here's the one that causes the most problems. It's the liver. Here's the thing about the liver that is sneaky because you don't even feel that bad. It's the governor of your glucose metabolism, right? When your liver is overloaded, and I'm talking about hippatic steattosis, inflammation, and just excessive work, it can't respond properly to hormonal signals. I went over this when I talked about how retatride might be overreving the engine and the liver doesn't have the capacity.

[00:20:01]It had nothing to do with redatruide.

[00:20:02]Some of you guys got so mad about that.

[00:20:04]I read all these studies that it solves NAFLD. Yeah, not at some mega dose though where you're flooding your liver and your liver goes I can't do it. I don't have the capacity. And you guys just don't get it. Biology is called limitations of matter. So glucagon is supposed to mobilize energy, right? But where does that energy come from first?

[00:20:20]The liver. Your liver stores glucose as glycogen. Gluc glucagon says break it down. But if your liver is full of fat and inflamed and angry, it can't listen.

[00:20:30]2019 study hepatology showed patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have significantly impaired hippatic glucose output in response to gluccoon stimulation 40% reduction in glycogenolyis compared to the controls that don't have that problem your liver is basically broken the signal comes in liver's I got nothing man I can't I'm full I'm inflamed I don't have the energy to mobilize so here's what we do for a liver overload strategic fasting protocol combined with specific nutrients let me walk you through it so the first three days you're doing 24 okay 20 hours 4 hours intermittent fasting that means You eat in a 4-hour window. It's even different than 186.

[00:21:02]There is a reason you eat carnivore.

[00:21:03]Again, beef, salt, water during that window. You eat a lot in that window.

[00:21:07]You need to get that in. I don't care how you do it. 2500 plus calories, but you're only eating once per day, roughly between 4 and 8 p.m. Why? Because this massively reduces hippatic lipid content. 2021 study, cell metabolism.

[00:21:21]This is such an effective way to do this stuff. I'm giving you guys the stuff that I do with real patients to solve real problems. And I'm still going to get arguments going, I would never try that. That's why you're not one of my patients because you don't want results.

[00:21:33]This study 2021 cell metabolism showed a 24 intermittent fasting reduces intrahypatic lipid content by 32%. In just 3 days, 3 days independent of caloric restriction, by the way, 3 days.

[00:21:48]Do I need to say that again? That should just blow your mind. 3 days. 32% 3 days.

[00:21:54]Now, for days, these the timing matters.

[00:21:56]You should be taking notes like crazy.

[00:21:57]For days 4 to 7, you add one thing an acetylcysteine, 1,200 milligs per day, splitting split into two doses, 600 milligrams twice daily. This is a glutathione precursor. Glutathione is your liver's detox engine. Right? So 2020 study nutrients showed that NEC supplementation increased hpatic glutathione by 220%. And results in 25% reduction in hpatic transaminases in ready for this patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

[00:22:23]You're literally cleaning out your liver and helping your system. Do not listen.

[00:22:27]My dad died of endstage liver disease.

[00:22:30]Please don't mess with this. I take it very seriously. Now, days 8 to 14, you add milk thistle at 300 milligrams three times every day. Last one. Thyroid problems. Okay, this is critical because thyroid dysfunction affects basically everything that we've just talked about in the last whatever 20 minutes. Your thyroid doesn't just control metabolism, okay? It controls glucagon sensitivity.

[00:22:47]A 2018 study endocrine reviews showed that T3, which is the active thyroid hormone, directly upregulates glucagon receptor expression in hpatocytes and atyposytes. No T3, excuse me, your cells literally have fewer glucagon receptors.

[00:23:01]Listen, you can have the perfect reatrite, the perfect most ideal dose.

[00:23:05]It works so well, but if your thyroid is low, your cells just don't have the receivers for the signal. And here's how you diagnose it. You can't use TSH, by the way. TSH is downstream. Stop using TSH. It's a bunky, worthless number.

[00:23:17]Free T3 should be in the upper third.

[00:23:19]Free T4 should be in the upper half.

[00:23:20]I'll give you all of this stuff. I told you reverse 3T should be low, ideally less than 15. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies should be negative.

[00:23:28]Thyrolobuline antibodies negative. If free T3 is low or reverse T3 is high, you have a T3 conversion problem. Where do you think that happens? It's deiod issue, right? So here's the protocol. If you have autoimmune thyroiditis, which is elevated antibodies, you do the same carnivore protocol I mentioned for high cortisol. Autoimmune thyroiditis is driven by gut disbiosis. 2017 study, microbiome showed that disbiotic patients with Hashimoto's have significantly higher levels of prevatella and lower levels of bactaroids and the disbiotic signature drives continued autoimmune activation, which means it's screwing you up.

[00:24:07]carnivore for 2 weeks fixes this. If you have low T3 conversion, normal T4, low T3, high reverse T3, you add selenium, 200 micrograms daily. You need labs for this stuff. I just told you which ones to get. By the way, selenium 200 micrograms every day. Selenium is a co-actor for what did I just say?

[00:24:24]Diodnese enzymes that convert T4 to T3.

[00:24:27]Iron. If your feritin is low below 40, you need iron. It's also a deionized co-actor. 2016 study thyroid showed that iron supplementation in iron deficient patients increased T4 to T3 conversion by 40%. I'm just literally firing this stuff off cuz I've done this so much. So if I'm all over the place, it's because I've done this a million times. I'm just pulling it from all the patients I've worked with. Zinc, 30 milligrams every day. Also a deion co-actor. Critically, you eliminate every seed oil that has ever come across your pantry. Throw it in the garbage and all polyuns unsaturated fats. Why? Because omega6 polyunsaturated fats compete with the substrates needed for deiodinase function. 2020 analysis in nutrients showed that high omega6 to omega-3 ratio so above um 10 to1 associated with 35% reduction in whole body T3 production you also add one peptide just one IPMLin this is a growth hormone releasing peptide that has a secondary effect a lot of people don't know this upregulating TR thyrorotropin releasing hormone in the hypothalamus 100 micrograms every night 2018 neuroendocrinology showed that a pomearellin increases endogenous TR release and improves T3 secretion by about 20% in just 6 weeks. And then, yeah, this part's going to bug most of you guys. You just wait. You give it 8 weeks. You retest thyroid function. Then you optimize rate of true tide dosing because now your thyroid can support the molecule. This is so important. Believe listen, I I want you guys, and I realize I've been all over the place with this podcast, and I have more to come, but you guys got to take me seriously because I don't come out here just for fun. Believe me, I'd love to sit here and drink coffee and yell at a microphone every day, but I I have other things to do with my life. So, now that I've gone through all this stuff, let me bring it back to the physics about what's really happening. So, Tzepathide is it's like hiring a bunch of people to get in the way and keep people from getting into your house, right? It's a prevention molecule. It's like the gorilla. It's the bodyguard at the front door, whatever you want to betide is like a I live here in Texas, like having a heat pump. It's not just preventing, if you know what that is, it's not just preventing heat from coming in. It's actively extracting cold and moving out.

[00:26:27]It's a mobilization molecule combined with prevention, right? Also blocks the door. So 2023 study in cell comparing these directly showed that bread and true tide produce 22% greater weight loss and 30% greater fat-ree mass preservation compared to tzepatide.

[00:26:44]Assuming this is the important part, assuming metabolic function is normal.

[00:26:48]The key word assuming. Here's what made tepatide feel stronger. you probably had metabolic dysfunction. I I'll almost guarantee it. Most people do right now.

[00:26:57]It's it's a wild thing because if you guys are looking at your labs, I need you guys to understand this. If you're looking at your labs right now and you're using reference ranges that you guess from from from Quest or whatever lab you use, those reference ranges are changing because they're based off of a population that is gradually getting more sick, more weak, more fat, more insulin resistant, more hypercortisol, but like they're just a disaster. And so those lab values are slowly changing.

[00:27:17]It's just like the blood pressure issue 140 over 90 up until 2017 and now it's 120 over 80. But are you out of your mind? None of those. Like all of a sudden they're they're looking at the renan angotensin eldoststerone. Like they're looking at all of that. No, they're not. They're just basing it off of how they can accompany or how can they accommodate more people in that little bell curve so they can get more drugs shoved into your system. And I'm just giving you the truth. You do what you want with it. I don't care what you if you want to take things and wreck your biology. That's on you. I'm just giving you the things that so you have a choice. That's all. But look at you with most people are metabolically dysfunctional. Hypercoric storage, right? That's what was happening. That's why true felt stronger, right? Your body was saying everything you eat, we're storing it and gip came in and ninja kicked that thing and instant effect.

[00:28:00]Satiety, appetite suppression, you felt it. I'm talking immediately. Some people like I hope felt it that day. Redatride is much much more powerful, but requires biology to be cooperating. That's the difference. You can be sloppy with trespathide, but the problem is it's also not going to preserve a lot of your muscle. So if you're high cortisol, if you're metabolically stagnant, if your liver is completely overloaded, if your thyroid is flatlined, then red or truthite is like giving a Lamborghini to someone driving in the snow with slicks wondering why they're not going anywhere. The car is objectively faster.

[00:28:31]It's also objectively worse for current conditions. So you fix the conditions, run the protocols, you get your biology back online, and then this is where it gets wild. A true tide starts doing something that Tzepide could never do.

[00:28:42]This was presented, this wasn't even published. It was at endo24, right? So it showed that patients on reddatride who had normalized listen cortisol, thyroid function, stored metabolic rate and hypatic function achieve a achieved 40% greater weight loss in the same time frame compared to just 18% on terzepetide. Not just more weight loss.

[00:29:01]They also felt better, more energy, better cognition, better libido, better sleep because listen, this is so important. They weren't just blocking storage, they were mobilizing energy.

[00:29:08]Their body was literally just flooded with all this available energy that is infinitely more powerful. So let let me explain the ultimate protocol that you can combine all of this. This is the ultimate cascade protocol. It this is I use this with about 75% of the people who've been dieting who feel weak on rea and who are just stuck. So let's go through this line by line. I've done this I could probably do this with my eyes closed. First 48 hours this is that starts the same. This is if you have all four. And if you just think you have all four, just run this. It'll be more productive. Anyway, do a complete fast not some fasting mimicky goofy insta diet. an actual water fast. Water water electrolytes. So, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and nothing else because you need to reset your leptin signaling to give your digestive system a break.

[00:29:52]Watch. Remember what I said. 2016 study cell metabolism showed 48 hour fast results in 50% increase in circulating adopeneectin levels and normalization of leptin receptor sensitivity. Let me explain why this matters. Because leptin is a hormone that tells your brain about energy status. If leptin signaling is broken, and it is when you've been dieting, just to be clear, 100% your brain thinks you're starving even if you're not. The fast resets this during the fast, you add peptide support, TB500, 5 milligrams, double dose on day two, BPC at 5 millig on day two. Yes, really. Why the double dose? Because you're not eating. You're not competing with nutrient absorption. You want maximum tissue repair signaling. No, it's not going to cause anything weird.

[00:30:35]Now, days three, for the next 2 weeks, just I was going to say give you some time numbers, but it doesn't matter. So, after that 48 hour fast for 2 weeks, now you eat specifically, you have to use what I call hyper carnivore surplus carnivore. So, I'll give you the meal structure and everything. Remember what I said, 1 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Okay, you're going to eat about 1,000 calories at 1 p.m. and about 1,200-,400 calories.

[00:30:55]Yes, a lot. You're not going to get fat.

[00:30:57]Stop worrying. 1,200 to,400 calories at 5:00 p.m. You're give or take 20 2400 2200 200 calories. Listen, just adjust it based on your body weight. It's about 12 to 13 calories per body per pound of body weight. And you're going to do roughly 12 to 13 calories per pound of target body weight. Okay? Not the weight that you are right now. Target body weight. So, if you are 300 lb and you want to weigh 200 lb, 200 * 12, 24,00 calories, that's what you're eating. You got the math. Okay? Why? Because cord, this is why this is so important. The timing matters more than you could possibly imagine. Timing is so critical.

[00:31:30]Good lord, timing is critical. Okay, so cortisol naturally peaks, I said this earlier, at 8:00 a.m., right? Declines throughout the day, hits its low tanks around midnight. So, you're eating when cortisol is naturally lower, which doesn't trigger this additional cortisol elevation. 2022 study in nutrients showed that afternoon evening eating windows in high cortisol individuals results in significantly lower HPA access activation compared to morning eating. There's supplementation for this, too. So NAC, I talked about this before, but NAC 1,200 milligrams a day is split into two doses, 600 milligrams.

[00:32:02]Milk thistle 300 milligrams three times a day. Magnesium glycinate 500 milligrams before bed. Listen, magnesium, by the way, is absolutely critical for cortisol recovery. 2017 study, nutrients showed magnesium supplementation reduces cortisol by 20% in chronically elevated individuals.

[00:32:17]Omega-3, fish oil, not algae, fish oil, not flax, fish oil. Okay? Four grams every day. EPA, DHA, the ratio matters.

[00:32:26]You want 2:1 EPA to DHA because EPA much more anti-inflammatory. There's a peptide sequence to this too. So I'll run through it again just so you have it. There's a peptide sequence for this too. Now that because there's a peptide sequence during this as well. Remember the heavy bolus that you had the 5 milligs of TB and the 5 millig of BPC was during the fast. So if you're confused, there's your quick answer because you can be like, "Wait a minute, didn't you say 5 milligrams?" Yes.

[00:32:51]However, now during the 2 weeks when you're eating the surplus carnivore that I just talked about, TB500 2.5, you're not going hyperdoses here. 2.5 milligrams twice a week, just Wednesday, Saturday is easy. BPC157, 2 milligrams every day. Yes, it's a higher dose. Do it. I pamearellin 100 micrograms every night just before bed. Let me explain why this matters. You're not trying to mobilize massive amounts of energy yet.

[00:33:14]You're trying to repair TB and BPC tissue repair peptides, right? A pamelan is supporting the HPA access. I explained all this how it has this very unique thyroid function, right? And thyroid function and it does this without overstimulating the system. So now watch, here's what happens. By day 14, your cortisol curve is normalized.

[00:33:29]You'll see this drop 40% and I said not a huge fan of saliva testing, but this is just so much faster and it's easier.

[00:33:35]Most of you guys are just going to do this. So 40% on a repeat saliva test reduced. Your liver lipid content dropped about 30%. Your leptin signaling is finally reset. Your metabolic rate is finally stabilized. Now you're ready to move on. So now we hit after the two weeks, this is day 15 if we want to do some math. Now we need to restore your metabolism. So you continue on the same carnivore structure from phase one, but now you add what I call strategic carbohydrates. Same thing. Meal one is at 1:00 p.m. Meal two is at 5:00 p.m.

[00:34:01]Meal one, you're going to add 100 grams of white rice. Salt it. I put salt on everything. I put salt on my bread in the morning covered in honey and cinnamon. I You cannot I am all with Stan Effort. That guy is spot on with salt. Spot on. We do not eat enough salt. Spot on. It does not give you hypertension. It saves your damn life.

[00:34:20]Stan Efing knows damn what he's talking about when it comes to salt. He knows a lot of stuff. But what I'm saying is don't just stop. If you're like, "What about blood pressure?" Stop it. 100 g salt the rice with your first meal. 50 g salt the rice with your second meal.

[00:34:33]Still around 1,000 for the first 800,000 calories and maybe 1,000 to,200 calories for the second meal. Why white rice? I told you high glycemic index of any carb source because it gives you that rapid glucose spike and the glucose spike triggers apatic glycogen repletion and triggers T3 production. That's why remember what I talked about. You're literally feeding your thyroid the substrate it needs to recover. Now day 22, you're 3 weeks in transition the rice timing. New meal structure. Now you're going to eat three meals a day.

[00:34:59]So meal one, 1 p.m. Meal 2 4:30. Meal 3 6. So meal one all carnivore. Meal two pre-workout. Do this. So, if you're working out at 8:00 in the morning, change when you do it. Yes, this matters. So, I need to be very transparent. I can't help you if you're not going to do the things I tell you to do. I'm just trying to give you literally a layout that I would hand a patient to do with me. And if they don't listen, I can't help you. Meal 2, 4:30 p.m. preworkout, 50 g of white rice, 15 g of honey, heavy compound lifts, smash a workout, don't go for a 10K. So, you're only going to train for about 30 minutes. All of this matters. Meal three, this is post-workout. all of your carnivore 100 grams of white rice. It should be about 12-400 calories. You're going to smash a bunch of grass-fed beef. I can't stress that enough. Put it this way. Your total should be around 22 24 200 calories. But adjust according to the math that you need for your target body weight. But here's why there's the change. Because now you're training, which does something very critical. It increases insulin sensitivity and glute 4 transllocation. So 2019 study medicine and science and sports and exercise showed resistance training increases muscle glute forward content by 40% and improves apatic glycogen repletion by 50% compared to sedentary individuals.

[00:36:08]So if you're denting your couch, you're going to have problems. On week three, you start training. White rice post-workout goes directly into the muscle glycogen and hypatic glycogen, not into fat storage because your muscles are primed to accept it. This is old school bodybuilding and I'm trying to give you the solution. Limitation train changes here too by the way. Drop the NAC in the milk thistle. The liver is already cleaned up, right? I already talked about that. Keep the magnesium at 500 milligrams before bed. Add creatine, five grams every day. 2019, they showed that improves T3 levels and supports muscle protein synthesis. And I love creatine. I get nothing from it. Andy Fcella doesn't pay me a dime for any of this. I just love his product. First form creatine is hands down the best creatine I've ever used. Add carnitine, three grams every day. So carnitine is critical for fatty acid oxidation. The carnitine supplementation improves whole body energy metabolism by about 15%.

[00:36:55]keep the omega-3s. There's more. There's a peptide change, too. So, the TV500, you're going to drop to 2.5 milligrams.

[00:37:01]Once a week, you're going to take the BPC-157 every single day. Still at 2 milligrams every day. Remember, we're still repairing the system from the damage that was done. It's worse than you think. I pamearellin. Increase it to 200 micrograms injected every night before bed. So, now here's what happens. You're 4 weeks in, your metabolic rate is probably recovered about 95% of baseline. And your T3 levels are normalized, your cortisol is stable, your liver's clean, your muscle mass is starting to increase. Now you ready? Now your day 30 addatide reatride half a milligram every week. Carnivore white rice protocol peptides the TB, the BBC, the pamearellin. Day 36. So if you're doing this, watch, there's more. So now four weeks in on week five, 1 milligram every week, same protocol. On week six, your body is metabolically ready.

[00:37:48]Cortisol is normal. liver's functional, thyroid's online. You can be up to 2 milligrams of redatite and you're about to feel something you've never felt before. Your appetite suppression hits different now. That's not the blunt force trauma of GIP activation preventing storage. It's the elegance of some glucagon mobilization creating the energy that you're supposed to freaking have. You feel your body has energy available. There's no desperation in your hunger signals because your body isn't in survival mode. You know what?

[00:38:10]If you need to by week six and week seven, you shouldn't if you're taking these four, five, six milligram doses of redatride, that's the problem. And I already explained what it's doing. It's either bunk or your biology is broken or you are breaking your biology. Those are the only three options. There's no way you should be taking these mega doses.

[00:38:26]It's absolutely absurd. So, I'm tired of the Kora and the Reddit and the Insta forums that are all sitting there yapping about these high doses going, "It worked for me." You're trying to lose 50 lbs in a month and you think that's a victory. All you've done is put your liver in the worst position possible. And I mark my words, four years. four years, mark my words, 2 to four years, you're going to see liver issues and they're going to wind up blaming the peptide and that's how they're going to pull peptides because they're going to say, "Now we've got problems and they're going to show all these liver issues." You wait. I'm not saying it doesn't solve liver issues.

[00:38:55]You bet your ass it solves liver issues.

[00:38:57]Hands down the most effective peptide on the planet for reversing liver damage.

[00:39:04]When used correctly, when used incorrectly, it causes nothing but problems because people are just impatient. So now you're on whatever two two and a half milligrams every week.

[00:39:13]No, micro doing doesn't work. No, it never has. And it's not different for different biology. Everybody's biology is the same. Trust me, you were made by God. But now your diet can be more flexible. Let me give you some monitoring tips to help you as well.

[00:39:23]Cortisol, retest at week 8 and retest at week 16. Get a full thyroid panel at week 8 and at week 16. Get a liver function test at eight. At week eight, do a body composite. This is important.

[00:39:34]Remember, it's not if you're chasing the number on the scale, you're chasing the wrong number. Get a body composition.

[00:39:38]Track it. Look at scale, weight, waist, circumference photos, friends giving you advice, looking at you going, "Dude, you are looking jacked." versus you're looking like a melted candle. Now, here's what I see. What usually 6 months of 24 weeks into this, you're looking anywhere from 35 to 50 60 lbs with red tide working properly in a metabolically sound and functioning biology. You compare this to somebody who jumped on reatide without fixing the metabolic foundation and it's 15 pounds in 24 weeks or their weight has gone up and they're frustrated saying reatride doesn't work. And I'm trying to give you the answer so it does work for you. If you want to stay on trite, that's on you. I'm just giving you a better option. But the difference is massive.

[00:40:16]It's not because reatrite is better in scenario one. It's because biology is cooperating. Listen, let me I'll go even further. Let me give you some real examples. Okay? So it's the names are changed, but the numbers are very real.

[00:40:27]So let's say her name is Sarah. Okay?

[00:40:28]34year-old female dieting for 18 months, lost 40 lbs, felt great for the first eight months, and then hit this crazy plateau. Tried everything. Intermittent fasting made her feel more tired, more cardio, made her feel more tired and made her sore. Her joints were hurting.

[00:40:42]She switched from semiglutide to Tzepide and got some effects for about 6 weeks and then flatlined. Switched to redatride, felt nothing. In fact, she got weak and exhausted and gained back eight pounds in two weeks. I will never forget how sad and pissed off she was.

[00:40:56]She didn't know what to do. So, here's what the testing showed. Cortisol at 8 a.m. was 24. Normal is between 10 and 20. Noon cortisol was 18. Afternoon cortisol was 14 and midnight cortisol was 8. Flat curve. Everything else was elevated. So, she did phase one for 14 days exactly as I explained it to her.

[00:41:11]Day 14. Okay, day 14 we retested. 8 a.m.

[00:41:13]cortisol was 16, noon was 12, and afternoon was 8 and midnight was 3.

[00:41:18]That's normal rhythm, just so you know.

[00:41:20]That's the curve, the way it's supposed to look like. ran through phase 2 by day 28 training three days a week gained 5 lbs mostly muscle T3 had increased from 2.8 to 3.4 she started red or true tide on day 30 and 6 weeks in she called me 1 milligram red or true tide and this is what she said I feel normal like actually normal Dr. Trevor, not like something's forcing me not to eat. Not like I hate food. Just like I'm not obsessed about food. She didn't use the words food noise, by the way. So, 12 weeks in, 15 lbs of fat lost from day 30. Waist was down 2.5 in. By month six, 38 lbs of fat loss total. That and that's accounting, by the way, for the 8 lbs she gained in phases 1 and two, which was muscle. She's leaner than she was at her plateau, and she's stronger.

[00:42:03]And the difference, she fixed the damn cortisol. Everything else just followed along. That's just one person. Look at my This is another guy, Marcus. Okay, there's a metabolic problem. 41-year-old male. This is already rough, but former athlete who got fat. I see this a lot because they're trying to Their brain says, "You can still eat this, but you're not move. You're not like My wife was a pro soccer player. My wife is 46 years old and she looks like a freaking fitness model. She's so jacked, so fit, so freakishly strong." Oh, yeah. I'm proud of my wife. I love my wife, man.

[00:42:29]20 years. I love my wife. But here's what's here's what's crazy. She eats according to her output, right? So, there was a time when she was playing soccer all the time, training three times a day, and she it doesn't matter what she ate. That's what happens with a lot of pro athletes. And I see a lot of you guys, you call me and you're like, "Hey, I don't get it. All this you're eating 10,000 calories in a day, but you're moving like a sloth. That's the problem." So, this is a former athlete who got fat. Decided to diet seriously.

[00:42:53]Did 1,200 calorie diet for 9 months.

[00:42:55]Lost 55 lbs. Then got stuck. Couldn't lose anymore. Tried TUR, right?

[00:42:59]Turppide. Got 25 lbs of loss over four months, then nothing. Tried doubling the dose. It made him just feel like crap, but gave no additional effects. Remember what I talked about before? It magnifies side effects, but the benefit is incremental. 4% versus 300% magnification of side effects. Gained eight pounds back when he tried to come off. Switched to Red or True Tide because he heard it was stronger courtesy of me. Day one on Red True Tide at 1 milligram. Felt terrible. Stomach pain, no appetite suppression, definitely exhausted here. So, hey, Dr. Trevor, can you help me? Absolutely. TSH was normal at 1.8, but freeT3 was about 2.6. 6 normal is 2.3 to 4.2. So technically in range, but just so you know, this is why the ranges pissed me off. That is a low range. Reverse T3 was at 22. Should be below 15. Remember what I said? Metabolic rate was measured about 1,400 calories per day. Should be about 1,800 plus for the body composition that he had. He did this entire thing. The phase one, added carnivore, NAC, milk thistle, magnesium.

[00:43:54]Same labs, nothing changed. Cortisol was fine. Liver enzymes were fine. Continued phase two. Here's where it mattered. The white rice post-workout. So 3 weeks in, free T3, it increased to 3.1. Reverse T3 had dropped to 18. Now we're cooking with peanut oil, right? So 4 weeks in, free T3 was 3.6. Reverse T3 was 14.

[00:44:10]Metabolic rate was measured about 1,700 calories a day. Started rea.5, which is what I said on day 30, dropping from the one that he'd been struggling with.

[00:44:19]Don't chase the dose. The problem's not with a vial. The problem is with your biology, and I'm trying to solve it for you. And I do this for free. You don't have to go see a doctor if you don't have to. If I can give you the answer, right? So week five, sent me a message at 1 milligram. Dude, this is completely different. The appetite suppression feels so natural. Like my body actually has energy to spare. I actually feel great. He was about 3 months in. So he was about 3 months in, 14 lbs of fat loss from day 30. This is the key. He gained 7 lbs of muscle net. He looks dramatically different, just so you know. 6 months, 34 lbs of fat loss, gained 12 lbs of muscle. He's at his lowest body fat ever and stronger than he was in his 20s. Here's the difference. Fix the metabolic stagnation. Once the T3 was producing, once his metabolism was running, right?

[00:45:01]True Tide worked. Look at Jennifer. This was all four. This is the best one. So Jennifer had all four problems.

[00:45:07]38-year-old female dieting on and off for 15 years. Was in her fifth round of caloric restriction when she tried turspide. Teptide worked okay for about 8 weeks and then nothing. Dead in the water. Nothing. Switched to retatrite at 1 milligram immediately, which was a mistake, but that's what she did. Felt worse. Nauseated, exhausted, 12 lbs. She stacked on. So here's what comprehensive testing showed. All four issues. Okay, so cortisol elevated across the board 8 a.m. 26. Noon was about 20 p.m. to 4:00 or was about 16 and midnight was 10.

[00:45:39]Free T3 2.5 which is low. Remember what I said it's in a low range. Burst T3 25 should be below what? 15. Way high.

[00:45:46]Liver enzymes as 52 alt 58 both elevated which indicates steattosis. Metabolic rate was about420 calories per day. She was the perfect case study to talk about because she had everything going wrong with her and nobody told her and she doesn't know how. And that was very Listen, I don't know how to be a b a bunch of things. It's not my job to know. It's my job to find somebody that knows to help me. So, she did everything I exactly prescribed. 48 hour fast, strategic surplus. The carnivore. Day 14, cortisol was down 35%, liver enzymes down 20%, but T3 was still low and metabolic rate was still depressed. So, she went on to the next phase with the white rice. Free T3 was three. Three.

[00:46:22]Reverse T3 was 19. And so now we're four weeks in. This was three weeks in. Four weeks in. Free T3 was 3.5. Reverse T3 was 15. Boom. Where she should be.

[00:46:31]Metabolic rate 1680. Cortisol.

[00:46:33]Completely normal actual curve. 30. Day 30. Right. Always day 30. This is why you have to stick to the I'm trying to help you. Started right at true at.5.

[00:46:42]Not one, not 1 milligram. Five. This is critical. You have to pay attention to this. This is what I get. This is the message I get. This is insane. Give a second for a phone call. Normally I don't take phone calls in the black cart, but I did real quick. This is what I get. I feel incredible. I'm not hungry and I'm not obsessing about food at all.

[00:46:58]This is awesome. I have energy for the first time. You ready for this? In five freaking years, I get these. Listen, I could show you this right now. Some of you guys are like, "Oh, he's just making this stuff up." No, I don't have time for stuff like that. Look at this. I just want to show you this. Let me pull this up. This is what this guy sent me in my Okay, so I don't know if you can see that there. I want you to look at that.

[00:47:17]Yeah, you can see the time is right now.

[00:47:19]Okay, it says, "You saved my dad's life.

[00:47:21]Thank you so much, Dr. Trevor. So much love. God blessing you today." Okay, I get these messages every day from you guys that actually pay attention. I'm trying to help you and I don't want anything from you. I just want you to have the answer. So, look at this. She was 12 weeks in, 16 lbs of fat loss from day 30, gained 6 lbs of muscle, and 6 months in cuz these are all the they're the same they're the same benchmarks I use because then it's easy to track, right? We do weeks 1 to 6, then 12, then month six, right? So month six, 38 lbs of fat loss total, her lowest body fat ever, sleeping better than she ever has in a decade, and her libido is through the roof, which hasn't been forever. The difference was she fixed all four systems. When you do that, reatride doesn't feel like some stagnant old supplement. It feels like your body is actually working. Your biology is working. Once here's the thing, though.

[00:48:07]I want you guys to hear this. Once you've run red tide for the protocol for 2 months, this is what I see around and this is around week 12 and I have to be very transparent about this. So, you've lost 18, 25 lbs, whatever, and suddenly the weight loss stops. And this is common. I see this a lot. It's not because red or at True Tide stopped working. I need to give you this information. It's because your body has adapted to your training stimulus. So, you need more volume or more intensity, your caloric deficit. So, you probably need to lower your calories or just do a little bit. Go for a walk every night, one mile at a 16-minute pace. And your hormone levels, thyroid is naturally suppressed slight suppressed slightly because you've lost some weight. I'll just tell you how to fix it. Don't even worry about it. Increase your training volume by about 15%. Just one more set per exercise or one more training day or go for a walk or something. Drop your calories by about 150. It's one meal of white rice. So just don't eat the rice two to three days per week. Retest your thyroid labs. T3 might be lower. If so, then increase.

[00:48:58]Just increase it by 50 micrograms. Add one additional training day. I train every day, so that would be difficult for me, but I'm also not taking it to lose weight. Usually an extra 20, 30 minutes of some pretty significant cardig.

[00:49:10]And I'm not kidding. You guys go, "Oh, I would never do that." Then I don't know what to tell you, man. I can't do burpees. Go for a light jog. Get on a skateboard. Push yourself around your not a motorized one. Push yourself around your neighbor. Get on a rower.

[00:49:21]Get on a an a dine and turn on, you know what, an episode of Friends. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe half an episode of Lost and just sit there and bang out 30 minutes of a steady state on that aerodyine. I promise you, this stuff is so easy to do. It's that you're the social media is riddled with complexities that don't need to happen.

[00:49:37]But all of this usually breaks this. If you do all the stuff I just gave you, it'll just it'll break the plateau in probably about a week. And now for weeks 12 to 20, you'll see a bunch of acceleration again in another 15 lbs. 20 maybe 25. So listen, here's how this works. Most people think redatruide doesn't work when it when they're having issues thinking it's weaker than heride and that you had the wrong molecule. It was wrong. You had the right molecule.

[00:50:01]You had the wrong biological substrate.

[00:50:02]Your system was giving you the finger.

[00:50:03]And this is the future of peptides. It's not it's never about newer peptides being better. It's about understanding your body's readiness to determine whether or not it's even going to work.

[00:50:12]Reddit truthide is objectively far more powerful entite because it mobilizes energy in three different ways. GLP1, appetite suppression, GIP, fat storage prevention, and glucagon to fire the gas pedal on energy mobilization. But all of that is completely useless if your cortisol is high because your brain won't listen to the appetite signal.

[00:50:31]That power is completely useless if your metabolism is like a sloth because there's no energy available to mobilize.

[00:50:37]And all that power is useless if your liver is completely overloaded because it can't respond to the signal it's getting to mobilize, right? And all the power is completely useless. If your thyroid is, if this is offline, it's not going to work because your cells literally don't have the receptors to receive the signal. If you fix all of these and you run the entire protocol I just gave you for free and you repair your foundation when you actually stack your biology in your favor reat doesn't feel like it doesn't work. It feels like your body finally works again and reat reatrs to be there for the ride. You shouldn't feel it. Your body should just be like dang man this is awesome. That's when the real things happen. You're not just losing weight. You're rebuilding an endocrine system and metabolic capacity and energy availability. And when you do that, you listen, you have to understand that biology is the foundation. And these peptides, they're just a tool. I have this conversation with people that I love and care about all the time where I'm like, your job is to stack a bunch of freaking peptides and go, what's the next peptide I'm going to go on? I get messages all the time, even people in my group. Okay, so can I add this? And okay, so I'm doing this, but what's the next thing I can do? And hey, I'm on these eight things, but what do you think about adding this cuz I want to get a little leaner. I want to build a little more muscle here. I want to do a little more of that. So I want to add this peptide. You know what that is?

[00:51:46]That is the same thing that big pharma does. to get you thinking that you need this to solve the problem. When you were seven, your biology worked perfectly.

[00:51:54]When you were 15, your biology worked perfectly. The purpose of a peptide is to bring your biology back online, not rely on it because then you're falling into the same problem, which means I need to take this in order to have this happen. That's not right. That's not how it works. So, I'm just I'm trying to heal help you so you never go back to thinking about this the wrong way. That this is what separates people who see real changes and transformation from the people who bounce between peptides.

[00:52:18]looking for the next magic solution. The magic's never in the molecule. It's in your It's in your biology. And I literally gave you the best game plan you can ever possibly imagine to use.

[00:52:28]Anyway, I hope you got something out of this. I got to go. Never miss.
