00:00:00.251 --> 00:00:02.012
Welcome to the Wellness Besties Podcast.

2
00:00:02.132 --> 00:00:02.672
I'm Lisette.

3
00:00:03.132 --> 00:00:03.833
And I'm Nicole.

4
00:00:04.253 --> 00:00:12.176
Two besties in their 50s, trying the treatments, having the real conversations, and figuring out midlife health and wellness together.

5
00:00:12.516 --> 00:00:13.257
Let's get into it.

6
00:00:14.297 --> 00:00:16.778
So, you just got back from Madrid.

7
00:00:16.878 --> 00:00:17.438
I did.

8
00:00:17.538 --> 00:00:18.199
How was that?

9
00:00:18.299 --> 00:00:20.039
It was amazing.

10
00:00:20.299 --> 00:00:21.120
Amazing.

11
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:25.502
The culture there, it's so different.

12
00:00:25.662 --> 00:00:26.082
Oh, yeah?

13
00:00:26.102 --> 00:00:26.402
Yeah.

14
00:00:26.462 --> 00:00:27.022
How so?

15
00:00:27.783 --> 00:00:28.463
Okay, first of all...

16
00:00:29.318 --> 00:00:33.920
You know, I'm used to like going and I'm always in a hurry and let's go.

17
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:36.582
And so we get there and we're eating at the cafes.

18
00:00:37.642 --> 00:00:40.724
And you literally could be sitting at a cafe for three hours.

19
00:00:40.764 --> 00:00:41.904
Nobody's flipping the table.

20
00:00:42.245 --> 00:00:43.205
No, they don't care.

21
00:00:43.825 --> 00:00:44.766
They're not rushing you out.

22
00:00:45.086 --> 00:00:46.407
Forever to bring the water.

23
00:00:46.427 --> 00:00:48.508
OK, they bring the water and the bread.

24
00:00:49.228 --> 00:00:52.349
And then you order your appetizer and then you order your on.

25
00:00:52.509 --> 00:00:56.610
Like they're not rushing you because you're supposed to enjoy the experience.

26
00:00:56.770 --> 00:00:57.071
Yeah.

27
00:00:57.391 --> 00:00:57.811
Right.

28
00:00:57.871 --> 00:00:59.151
So let me ask you, water.

29
00:00:59.891 --> 00:01:03.673
In Madrid or out of the country, is the water tap water?

30
00:01:03.693 --> 00:01:03.993
Bottled.

31
00:01:04.293 --> 00:01:05.073
It is bottled.

32
00:01:05.173 --> 00:01:05.993
It is bottled.

33
00:01:06.153 --> 00:01:08.534
So, yeah, it just taught me to slow down.

34
00:01:08.714 --> 00:01:09.554
Why am I in a hurry?

35
00:01:09.594 --> 00:01:10.875
Enjoy the moment.

36
00:01:10.915 --> 00:01:12.075
Enjoy the dessert.

37
00:01:12.275 --> 00:01:12.675
And it's amazing.

38
00:01:14.596 --> 00:01:17.219
Actually, for them, the food is really good.

39
00:01:17.279 --> 00:01:17.579
Yeah.

40
00:01:17.619 --> 00:01:20.942
And I have to say, but the portions are like this.

41
00:01:22.083 --> 00:01:25.786
So if you want me to stay long, you got to give me bigger portions.

42
00:01:25.927 --> 00:01:30.911
So I went I was there for seven days and I ate whatever I wanted.

43
00:01:31.131 --> 00:01:32.493
I had bread because it was good.

44
00:01:32.633 --> 00:01:34.515
I had whatever I wanted.

45
00:01:34.615 --> 00:01:35.736
I did not restrict it all.

46
00:01:35.756 --> 00:01:37.357
I had dessert every single night.

47
00:01:37.617 --> 00:01:40.260
OK. And I got back and I was still the same weight.

48
00:01:41.723 --> 00:01:43.825
But the portions were civilized.

49
00:01:43.845 --> 00:01:44.645
They were this big.

50
00:01:44.665 --> 00:01:45.046
Okay.

51
00:01:45.066 --> 00:01:46.327
And we walked like crazy.

52
00:01:46.347 --> 00:01:46.947
You did?

53
00:01:47.047 --> 00:01:47.448
Oh, my gosh.

54
00:01:47.468 --> 00:01:48.448
Did you track your steps?

55
00:01:48.548 --> 00:01:48.989
Yeah.

56
00:01:49.009 --> 00:01:49.389
Yeah.

57
00:01:49.429 --> 00:01:49.749
Forget it.

58
00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:51.831
It was like... 20,000, 30,000 steps a day.

59
00:01:52.291 --> 00:01:53.232
Between 15,000 and 20,000.

60
00:01:53.432 --> 00:01:53.853
Wow.

61
00:01:53.953 --> 00:01:54.413
That's why.

62
00:01:54.593 --> 00:01:54.853
Wow.

63
00:01:54.953 --> 00:01:56.054
And the portions are small.

64
00:01:56.455 --> 00:01:56.675
Yeah.

65
00:01:57.055 --> 00:01:57.275
Yeah.

66
00:01:57.516 --> 00:01:58.176
But it was great.

67
00:01:58.236 --> 00:01:59.337
The people were so nice.

68
00:01:59.397 --> 00:02:00.598
The city is so beautiful.

69
00:02:00.618 --> 00:02:01.419
It reminded me...

70
00:02:02.986 --> 00:02:07.970
Of a really clean, pretty New York, but with greenery.

71
00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:09.111
Like there was a lot of green.

72
00:02:09.392 --> 00:02:09.712
Really?

73
00:02:09.732 --> 00:02:10.532
So was it packed?

74
00:02:10.552 --> 00:02:12.214
Like very busy like New York too?

75
00:02:12.634 --> 00:02:14.175
Not as busy, but it was busy.

76
00:02:14.195 --> 00:02:14.876
It was a beautiful city.

77
00:02:14.896 --> 00:02:15.216
Really?

78
00:02:15.276 --> 00:02:17.018
It was that city life that I love.

79
00:02:17.118 --> 00:02:17.798
What did you go for?

80
00:02:17.839 --> 00:02:18.399
Just pleasure?

81
00:02:18.579 --> 00:02:19.140
Just pleasure.

82
00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:19.960
My brother was there.

83
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:20.901
Oh, nice.

84
00:02:21.181 --> 00:02:23.023
So he was there for a month, so I went to see him.

85
00:02:23.043 --> 00:02:23.263
Oh, wow.

86
00:02:23.283 --> 00:02:23.623
Okay.

87
00:02:23.643 --> 00:02:24.004
Okay.

88
00:02:24.664 --> 00:02:30.805
So tell me, being in Madrid and all your supplements, your peptides, what we're going to talk about today, what did you do about that?

89
00:02:30.845 --> 00:02:31.666
How did you take those?

90
00:02:31.686 --> 00:02:34.606
So when I travel, I don't really, I don't take anything.

91
00:02:34.626 --> 00:02:44.048
I just took my essentials that I need to take every day, my vitamins, but like no peptides, no creatine, none of the extra stuff.

92
00:02:44.208 --> 00:02:44.989
I left that home.

93
00:02:45.109 --> 00:02:46.329
I gave myself a week break.

94
00:02:46.389 --> 00:02:50.350
Do you feel like your body responds to things when you cut out for like a week?

95
00:02:51.010 --> 00:02:51.631
I felt the same.

96
00:02:51.851 --> 00:02:53.173
Honestly, I don't think it was long enough.

97
00:02:53.253 --> 00:02:53.494
Yeah.

98
00:02:53.874 --> 00:02:54.135
Yeah.

99
00:02:54.515 --> 00:02:56.418
So let me ask you now.

100
00:02:56.518 --> 00:02:58.601
So today we're going to talk about everything we're taking.

101
00:02:58.621 --> 00:02:58.802
Yeah.

102
00:02:59.002 --> 00:02:59.923
All our peptides.

103
00:03:00.304 --> 00:03:04.470
BHRT, supplements, peptides, all the things.

104
00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:05.552
And we're on them all.

105
00:03:06.232 --> 00:03:07.493
If we're not on them, we've tried them.

106
00:03:07.553 --> 00:03:08.394
We've tried them.

107
00:03:08.454 --> 00:03:09.795
Or we have to try them.

108
00:03:09.815 --> 00:03:10.736
Or we still have to try them.

109
00:03:10.756 --> 00:03:12.978
We haven't tried all the peptides, so we're dabbling.

110
00:03:13.118 --> 00:03:13.438
Oh, yeah.

111
00:03:13.758 --> 00:03:14.098
Oh, yeah.

112
00:03:14.118 --> 00:03:15.179
So you want to go first?

113
00:03:15.419 --> 00:03:18.782
You want me to tell you what BHRT I'm on?

114
00:03:19.242 --> 00:03:19.983
My hormone replacement?

115
00:03:20.023 --> 00:03:20.183
Sure.

116
00:03:20.343 --> 00:03:21.264
Yeah, let's talk about that.

117
00:03:21.324 --> 00:03:23.526
So I had a hysterectomy at 40.

118
00:03:24.126 --> 00:03:27.489
So, of course, naturally, my body went through its changes.

119
00:03:27.669 --> 00:03:28.550
I did keep my...

120
00:03:29.691 --> 00:03:31.133
my eggs.

121
00:03:31.474 --> 00:03:32.836
So I did not go...

122
00:03:32.976 --> 00:03:34.378
I was not forced into menopause.

123
00:03:34.538 --> 00:03:34.839
Oh, good.

124
00:03:35.119 --> 00:03:35.400
I know.

125
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:40.046
But although I will say at the time of it all was COVID, so I don't...

126
00:03:40.227 --> 00:03:41.208
I didn't know what...

127
00:03:41.228 --> 00:03:42.129
I knew I felt off.

128
00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:42.830
I knew I was...

129
00:03:44.372 --> 00:03:46.733
Like I had a lot of like confusion.

130
00:03:46.793 --> 00:03:49.134
I had a lot of anxiety.

131
00:03:49.435 --> 00:03:50.875
I had depression.

132
00:03:50.895 --> 00:03:56.098
I was so depressed to the point that I was like, I don't even know why I'm depressed.

133
00:03:56.158 --> 00:03:57.158
What am I upset about?

134
00:03:57.218 --> 00:03:58.138
What am I worried about?

135
00:03:58.739 --> 00:04:00.980
I had an overwhelming fear of depression.

136
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.463
dying, getting sick and dying young, like, I just knew my body wasn't right.

137
00:04:07.284 --> 00:04:12.027
I knew I had a hysterectomy a couple years prior, but I also knew, and I knew that I kept my ovaries.

138
00:04:12.387 --> 00:04:18.852
So I knew that I was still, I still feel all the feels, just not bleed monthly, got my menstrual period.

139
00:04:19.472 --> 00:04:19.732
But

140
00:04:20.873 --> 00:04:24.756
But because of COVID and these changes, I didn't know what was happening.

141
00:04:25.057 --> 00:04:27.118
And I kept hearing pellet.

142
00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:28.139
That was a big thing.

143
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:28.580
The pellet.

144
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:29.340
You got to go on the pellet.

145
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.001
You got to get the pellet.

146
00:04:30.021 --> 00:04:32.583
And I'm like, because it's a bioidentical.

147
00:04:32.743 --> 00:04:36.026
So it was plant derived.

148
00:04:36.066 --> 00:04:38.328
So it wasn't like I thought it was a healthier option.

149
00:04:38.368 --> 00:04:40.810
I was afraid to put the testosterone.

150
00:04:40.830 --> 00:04:41.650
I was afraid to put.

151
00:04:41.670 --> 00:04:43.051
So how old are you at this point?

152
00:04:43.071 --> 00:04:43.652
This was at 42.

153
00:04:43.732 --> 00:04:44.773
OK, so this is a long time.

154
00:04:45.413 --> 00:04:46.854
Yeah, it was eight years ago.

155
00:04:47.075 --> 00:04:49.156
And I just knew I needed something.

156
00:04:49.256 --> 00:04:50.718
I knew my body was missing something.

157
00:04:50.758 --> 00:04:53.880
And I was hearing all the things about getting the hormone replacement.

158
00:04:54.401 --> 00:04:59.465
And I finally went and I saw – I went to serotonin clinic in Koltzeneck.

159
00:05:00.085 --> 00:05:01.607
And I started getting the pellet.

160
00:05:01.747 --> 00:05:05.049
And when I tell you instantaneously, like I would say –

161
00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:09.372
Two weeks into it, I felt the clarity.

162
00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:11.873
I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm not clouded anymore.

163
00:05:12.813 --> 00:05:14.774
The depression started slowly lifting.

164
00:05:15.375 --> 00:05:17.376
The anxiety started slowly lifting.

165
00:05:17.996 --> 00:05:20.397
And I realized, oh, my gosh, this was all my hormones.

166
00:05:20.517 --> 00:05:23.278
I, like you, Hashimoto's, I was getting my blood work done.

167
00:05:23.318 --> 00:05:26.900
And some of my levels were coming up normal and some of them were off.

168
00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.902
But we quickly identified I did need the BHRT.

169
00:05:30.842 --> 00:05:36.828
And so did your doctor tell you to get on this or this was something you did on your own?

170
00:05:36.988 --> 00:05:40.051
So I got my blood work done and I just did it on my own.

171
00:05:40.531 --> 00:05:42.273
Because the doctors aren't going to tell you to get on it.

172
00:05:42.293 --> 00:05:43.534
No, they don't want you on it.

173
00:05:43.634 --> 00:05:44.775
Yeah, which is bizarre.

174
00:05:44.875 --> 00:05:50.881
And especially this long ago when I brought this up to my doctor, no, that's not the right thing.

175
00:05:51.001 --> 00:05:52.182
And I'm like, but why?

176
00:05:52.202 --> 00:05:52.302
Yeah.

177
00:05:52.562 --> 00:05:52.822
Yeah.

178
00:05:53.162 --> 00:05:54.643
I had a similar experience.

179
00:05:54.723 --> 00:06:01.604
My doctor told me not to take it, that the side effects were not worth it.

180
00:06:02.324 --> 00:06:03.425
And what were the side effects?

181
00:06:03.445 --> 00:06:06.305
He said, like, a lot of water retention.

182
00:06:06.365 --> 00:06:08.046
He said the risks of cancer.

183
00:06:08.146 --> 00:06:10.266
He said the risk of blood clots.

184
00:06:10.366 --> 00:06:10.586
Yeah.

185
00:06:11.226 --> 00:06:13.667
And once he told me that, I was like, okay, I'm not going to take this.

186
00:06:13.847 --> 00:06:14.127
Yeah.

187
00:06:14.187 --> 00:06:14.487
Right?

188
00:06:15.047 --> 00:06:16.768
And you hear the word cancer right away.

189
00:06:16.788 --> 00:06:18.188
You're like, I'm putting that in my body.

190
00:06:18.608 --> 00:06:22.772
So, and which is sad because a lot of doctors are so misinformed.

191
00:06:23.193 --> 00:06:23.373
Yeah.

192
00:06:24.094 --> 00:06:25.115
And we're not doctors.

193
00:06:25.315 --> 00:06:25.615
Yeah.

194
00:06:25.675 --> 00:06:28.558
This is just, yeah, this is just what's worked for us.

195
00:06:28.658 --> 00:06:31.721
And you have to do your own research and talk to your own doctors.

196
00:06:32.763 --> 00:06:41.351
But I will say I have spoken to Dr. Namali and she's now the one that handles all my hormones and we'll get into that too.

197
00:06:41.371 --> 00:06:41.551
But...

198
00:06:42.272 --> 00:06:44.774
She was so what she said made so much sense.

199
00:06:45.375 --> 00:06:50.639
Your body, once it's depleted of something, once it doesn't have something, that's when disease happens within.

200
00:06:51.219 --> 00:06:58.065
When your body is lacking what it needs, that's when it starts fighting itself, working over like overworking and causes disease.

201
00:06:58.625 --> 00:07:00.328
the illness, the sickness.

202
00:07:00.868 --> 00:07:07.237
So by replacing something, you're essentially helping your body because our bodies are meant to have it.

203
00:07:07.578 --> 00:07:09.581
So what are you actually taking?

204
00:07:09.661 --> 00:07:10.502
So I'm on it all.

205
00:07:10.682 --> 00:07:12.625
Testosterone, progesterone, estradiol.

206
00:07:12.885 --> 00:07:13.947
I'm on it all.

207
00:07:14.207 --> 00:07:14.808
I have to be.

208
00:07:15.629 --> 00:07:20.270
And because of my thyroid as well, I was supposed to I'm supposed to be on a thyroid medicine.

209
00:07:20.290 --> 00:07:25.531
But that's the one thing I think being on the HRT is at least helping me manage.

210
00:07:25.571 --> 00:07:27.512
So I don't have to be on another medication.

211
00:07:27.792 --> 00:07:29.732
I don't want to be I don't want to be on like Synthroid.

212
00:07:30.293 --> 00:07:30.833
I think so.

213
00:07:30.953 --> 00:07:34.274
Are you still taking the pellet or are you on a different form?

214
00:07:34.434 --> 00:07:35.574
OK, so good question.

215
00:07:35.934 --> 00:07:36.794
I started with the pellet.

216
00:07:36.874 --> 00:07:39.495
I did the pellet for probably two years and then.

217
00:07:40.355 --> 00:07:43.678
I realized I wasn't able to control my dose.

218
00:07:43.978 --> 00:07:44.699
Right.

219
00:07:44.739 --> 00:07:47.261
You see right there, that was my concern.

220
00:07:47.301 --> 00:07:47.542
Okay.

221
00:07:47.862 --> 00:07:48.342
And I did.

222
00:07:48.382 --> 00:07:49.723
I started having issues.

223
00:07:49.904 --> 00:07:52.646
I went to Dr. Namali, and I was like, I don't feel right.

224
00:07:53.227 --> 00:07:54.448
I'm back to being depressed.

225
00:07:54.488 --> 00:07:56.449
Like, something is off in my body.

226
00:07:57.150 --> 00:08:01.714
First of all, I was growing hair in places I did not want to grow hair, like a chin hair.

227
00:08:02.535 --> 00:08:04.917
And I'm like growing a Fu Manchu.

228
00:08:06.338 --> 00:08:07.279
It's not going to work with me.

229
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:07.960
Oh, that's so funny.

230
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.224
So we had to adjust, and we came off the pellet because now I could adjust my testosterone.

231
00:08:13.244 --> 00:08:13.924
I take a cream.

232
00:08:14.505 --> 00:08:18.908
I take estrogen at night before bed, and I take estradiol in the morning with my breakfast.

233
00:08:18.928 --> 00:08:21.851
So I went from pellet, which works for some people.

234
00:08:21.871 --> 00:08:22.311
They love it.

235
00:08:22.371 --> 00:08:23.152
It's set it, forget it.

236
00:08:23.172 --> 00:08:25.854
You don't have to remember to take anything, and you don't have to worry about it.

237
00:08:26.475 --> 00:08:29.357
But for me, it was more like I needed to manage my dose.

238
00:08:29.917 --> 00:08:32.079
And you take a pill for the estradiol?

239
00:08:32.239 --> 00:08:33.460
Estradiol and estrogen, a pill.

240
00:08:34.181 --> 00:08:35.122
Yeah, pill form.

241
00:08:35.682 --> 00:08:35.862
Yep.

242
00:08:36.222 --> 00:08:36.402
Yeah.

243
00:08:36.442 --> 00:08:37.863
So I what do you want?

244
00:08:38.003 --> 00:08:38.804
Are you want anything?

245
00:08:38.864 --> 00:08:39.124
Yeah.

246
00:08:39.164 --> 00:08:42.185
Well, I started late because I was scared.

247
00:08:42.826 --> 00:08:43.886
I was scared about the cancer.

248
00:08:43.906 --> 00:08:46.588
I was scared about this doctor that I was seeing.

249
00:08:46.648 --> 00:08:54.632
I trusted him and him telling me and I was depleted in my hormones when I tell you they were depleted and he was still telling me not to do it.

250
00:08:54.912 --> 00:08:55.313
Really?

251
00:08:55.353 --> 00:08:55.853
And I felt...

252
00:08:56.234 --> 00:08:57.175
So what did you feel?

253
00:08:57.375 --> 00:08:59.397
I had like the brain fog.

254
00:08:59.918 --> 00:09:05.123
I had like this lower body, like lower... My stomach was like always bloated and puffy.

255
00:09:05.284 --> 00:09:07.106
I had like low-grade depression.

256
00:09:07.126 --> 00:09:09.068
I was exhausted.

257
00:09:09.088 --> 00:09:10.029
I just...

258
00:09:10.049 --> 00:09:11.430
I didn't feel like myself.

259
00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:11.671
Yeah.

260
00:09:11.911 --> 00:09:12.151
At all.

261
00:09:12.832 --> 00:09:13.152
But I...

262
00:09:14.093 --> 00:09:16.414
I battled through it for like 10 years.

263
00:09:16.574 --> 00:09:16.854
Yeah.

264
00:09:17.174 --> 00:09:17.455
Yeah.

265
00:09:17.715 --> 00:09:18.575
And you just, and I did it.

266
00:09:18.635 --> 00:09:20.416
Because your doctor was telling you not to.

267
00:09:20.436 --> 00:09:20.656
Yeah.

268
00:09:21.356 --> 00:09:22.036
And I trust him.

269
00:09:22.937 --> 00:09:28.579
And then I finally started researching on my own and researching and listening to all these women saying, you don't need to suffer.

270
00:09:29.379 --> 00:09:32.180
Find somebody that is, will help you.

271
00:09:32.501 --> 00:09:33.961
And then I started researching.

272
00:09:34.301 --> 00:09:37.102
Then I found BHRT that it's different from HRT.

273
00:09:38.303 --> 00:09:42.305
And I just want to say this before I got on BHRT,

274
00:09:43.847 --> 00:09:48.148
I lost my – I had my – I lost the 20 pounds of menopause weight.

275
00:09:48.448 --> 00:09:49.409
Okay.

276
00:09:49.529 --> 00:09:54.230
A lot of people think that you lose weight because of BHRT and you gain muscle because of BHRT.

277
00:09:54.250 --> 00:09:54.430
Yeah.

278
00:09:54.830 --> 00:09:55.210
You don't.

279
00:09:55.450 --> 00:09:55.630
Yeah.

280
00:09:55.650 --> 00:10:00.132
Because I looked exactly like I look now before I started because I've only been on it for one year.

281
00:10:00.372 --> 00:10:00.692
Okay.

282
00:10:00.812 --> 00:10:02.052
So people – I want to clear that up.

283
00:10:02.072 --> 00:10:03.953
People think like, oh, she looks like that because – Yes.

284
00:10:04.153 --> 00:10:04.293
No.

285
00:10:04.313 --> 00:10:04.633
All the time.

286
00:10:04.653 --> 00:10:05.133
I'm not sure.

287
00:10:05.393 --> 00:10:08.374
I look like this because I'm on BHRT and because I'm taking tons of – no.

288
00:10:08.614 --> 00:10:08.734
Yeah.

289
00:10:08.754 --> 00:10:10.135
It's because I work my ass off.

290
00:10:10.155 --> 00:10:10.255
Yeah.

291
00:10:10.275 --> 00:10:10.395
Yeah.

292
00:10:11.295 --> 00:10:16.922
So then I decided I got my my levels are so, so low, especially my testosterone.

293
00:10:17.358 --> 00:10:19.759
So you had, like, no energy, no sex drive.

294
00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:20.599
No sex drive.

295
00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:21.600
And it's hard.

296
00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:22.420
You know, you're married.

297
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:22.820
Yeah, of course.

298
00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:24.541
And you want to keep your relationship happy.

299
00:10:24.561 --> 00:10:25.281
I had no sex drive.

300
00:10:25.301 --> 00:10:26.222
Especially after 20 years.

301
00:10:26.522 --> 00:10:30.223
Like, you've got to keep that shit going.

302
00:10:30.303 --> 00:10:30.523
Fuck.

303
00:10:30.543 --> 00:10:31.344
Keep it going.

304
00:10:31.764 --> 00:10:34.665
So anyway, then I got on it.

305
00:10:35.305 --> 00:10:37.406
And I got on testosterone.

306
00:10:37.826 --> 00:10:40.387
Progesterone was amazing for the sleep.

307
00:10:40.407 --> 00:10:41.588
The sleep, yeah.

308
00:10:42.088 --> 00:10:42.308
Yeah.

309
00:10:42.868 --> 00:10:44.069
So estradiol and estrogen.

310
00:10:44.389 --> 00:10:45.190
So you're on it all too?

311
00:10:45.250 --> 00:10:45.951
I'm on it all.

312
00:10:45.971 --> 00:10:46.171
Yeah.

313
00:10:46.211 --> 00:10:48.893
It's been one year and I feel amazing.

314
00:10:48.913 --> 00:10:49.334
You do.

315
00:10:49.754 --> 00:10:51.395
I feel the brain fog is gone.

316
00:10:51.415 --> 00:10:52.016
Yeah, would have, yeah.

317
00:10:52.997 --> 00:10:54.758
My sex drive is back.

318
00:10:55.739 --> 00:10:58.541
Do you feel like a teenager with your sex drive being on hormones?

319
00:10:59.082 --> 00:11:00.423
I'm not a teenager, but it's back.

320
00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:02.684
No, yeah, Billy's like, you need to calm down.

321
00:11:02.984 --> 00:11:04.784
Oh, you feel like a teenager?

322
00:11:04.864 --> 00:11:05.604
Oh, my gosh.

323
00:11:05.764 --> 00:11:08.625
I'm like, I shouldn't say teenager either.

324
00:11:09.365 --> 00:11:10.066
Or like you're...

325
00:11:10.106 --> 00:11:11.746
But yeah, he's like, I can't keep up.

326
00:11:12.226 --> 00:11:13.527
Oh, my God, that's amazing.

327
00:11:14.067 --> 00:11:16.888
I'm not there yet, but maybe I need an adjustment.

328
00:11:18.648 --> 00:11:21.889
But yeah, so just like the brain fog, the...

329
00:11:22.349 --> 00:11:24.611
The sex drive, the motivation.

330
00:11:24.812 --> 00:11:26.734
I feel like I want to do things.

331
00:11:26.774 --> 00:11:28.695
And you feel good because you feel good again.

332
00:11:28.715 --> 00:11:29.576
You feel like yourself.

333
00:11:29.616 --> 00:11:31.318
Yeah, like I want to, like, yeah, I can do it.

334
00:11:31.338 --> 00:11:32.319
Did you tell your doctor?

335
00:11:32.439 --> 00:11:33.380
Now, who put you on it?

336
00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:34.361
Is it the doctor?

337
00:11:34.381 --> 00:11:34.882
No.

338
00:11:34.962 --> 00:11:35.282
Okay.

339
00:11:35.302 --> 00:11:35.783
Someone else.

340
00:11:36.203 --> 00:11:38.105
And what did your doctor say about it when you told me?

341
00:11:38.625 --> 00:11:42.387
Um, you know, he's like, fine, you know, you just have to like monitor it.

342
00:11:42.447 --> 00:11:44.849
And you know, and I do I get my labs done every three months.

343
00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:45.649
I'm on top of it.

344
00:11:45.749 --> 00:11:46.429
I'm on top of it.

345
00:11:46.469 --> 00:11:48.931
But you don't need to suffer.

346
00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:50.352
You don't need to suffer.

347
00:11:51.112 --> 00:11:52.132
Do your own research.

348
00:11:52.653 --> 00:11:54.134
Not everyone is a candidate.

349
00:11:54.194 --> 00:11:54.874
Yeah.

350
00:11:54.894 --> 00:11:57.695
But talk to someone that specializes in hormones.

351
00:11:57.716 --> 00:11:58.436
Exactly.

352
00:11:58.676 --> 00:12:01.179
Don't talk to your OBGYN if they're not specializing.

353
00:12:01.219 --> 00:12:04.683
Especially if they're, yeah, they don't, it's just a part of aging.

354
00:12:04.744 --> 00:12:05.885
No, it's not a part of aging.

355
00:12:05.905 --> 00:12:08.909
You could still feel good and vibrant at 50 and beyond.

356
00:12:09.289 --> 00:12:10.010
A million percent.

357
00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:14.315
And there is such an epidemic around women that go through midlife.

358
00:12:15.276 --> 00:12:18.398
We do experience it and get the depression.

359
00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:18.939
Yeah.

360
00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:20.180
So many women.

361
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.822
So many women commit suicide over this.

362
00:12:22.942 --> 00:12:24.563
I got a message yesterday from a woman.

363
00:12:25.063 --> 00:12:26.784
She told her husband passed.

364
00:12:26.924 --> 00:12:27.965
She lost her house.

365
00:12:28.265 --> 00:12:29.106
She's going through it.

366
00:12:29.146 --> 00:12:30.347
She's 52 years old.

367
00:12:30.827 --> 00:12:33.209
Her doctor says it's just a part of getting it.

368
00:12:33.329 --> 00:12:35.470
She's not recommending her to get on BHRT.

369
00:12:35.530 --> 00:12:38.813
She told me, I'm losing my will to live.

370
00:12:38.893 --> 00:12:39.033
Oh.

371
00:12:39.213 --> 00:12:39.854
My God.

372
00:12:39.934 --> 00:12:41.415
I told her, please don't give up.

373
00:12:41.655 --> 00:12:43.597
Please find somebody else that can help you.

374
00:12:43.958 --> 00:12:45.419
There is help out there for you.

375
00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:45.920
Yes.

376
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:53.987
And now there's telehealth that will, I think it's called MIDI Health, and they will take your insurance.

377
00:12:54.007 --> 00:12:54.107
Yeah.

378
00:12:54.127 --> 00:12:54.308
Yeah.

379
00:12:54.848 --> 00:12:55.028
Yeah.

380
00:12:55.188 --> 00:12:55.689
Oh, they will.

381
00:12:55.929 --> 00:12:56.229
They will.

382
00:12:56.249 --> 00:12:59.112
Because a lot of people are not going on BHRT because of insurance.

383
00:12:59.132 --> 00:13:00.994
Yes, this company, it's newer.

384
00:13:01.234 --> 00:13:01.755
Okay.

385
00:13:01.775 --> 00:13:02.575
I'm not 100% sure.

386
00:13:02.595 --> 00:13:03.216
Do your research.

387
00:13:03.596 --> 00:13:05.278
But I've heard it takes some insurances.

388
00:13:05.358 --> 00:13:05.678
It does.

389
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.220
So we don't have to suffer.

390
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:07.620
Yeah.

391
00:13:08.361 --> 00:13:11.304
You know, let's live this chapter, you know, to our best.

392
00:13:11.384 --> 00:13:11.644
Yeah.

393
00:13:11.904 --> 00:13:12.085
No.

394
00:13:12.205 --> 00:13:17.470
And again, going back to the hormone replacement, our bodies need it.

395
00:13:18.315 --> 00:13:19.757
Now, is it like a peptide?

396
00:13:19.817 --> 00:13:25.364
Is it like a supplement where, hey, we want to do this because this is going to make us feel better, look younger, you know, whatever.

397
00:13:25.424 --> 00:13:26.025
Give us energy.

398
00:13:26.746 --> 00:13:27.126
Different.

399
00:13:27.387 --> 00:13:27.727
Different.

400
00:13:27.847 --> 00:13:31.612
Your body might need – you need to replace what your body is missing.

401
00:13:32.253 --> 00:13:33.014
Different, you know.

402
00:13:33.034 --> 00:13:33.815
And everybody is different.

403
00:13:33.955 --> 00:13:34.495
Everybody's different.

404
00:13:34.515 --> 00:13:42.359
But I always say if you feel off, if you're not feeling your same, if you're battling depression, if this is not your norm, talk to a doctor.

405
00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:42.859
Yeah.

406
00:13:43.199 --> 00:13:44.099
Talk to someone about it.

407
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.880
Get your blood work big.

408
00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:47.481
I say go get your blood work checked.

409
00:13:47.501 --> 00:13:48.301
That's the first thing I say.

410
00:13:48.321 --> 00:13:49.242
Go get your blood work done.

411
00:13:49.262 --> 00:13:49.402
Always.

412
00:13:49.422 --> 00:13:50.082
That's number one.

413
00:13:50.362 --> 00:13:51.663
Number one is get your labs.

414
00:13:51.743 --> 00:13:52.723
Know what you're deficient in.

415
00:13:52.743 --> 00:13:52.863
Yes.

416
00:13:52.983 --> 00:13:57.545
And this is important when we talk about supplements.

417
00:13:57.705 --> 00:13:57.946
Yeah.

418
00:13:58.266 --> 00:13:58.506
Yeah.

419
00:13:59.086 --> 00:14:00.587
Because, listen, your body does need a...

420
00:14:01.447 --> 00:14:05.628
Supplements, again, your body, you should be advised by someone.

421
00:14:06.188 --> 00:14:09.228
Most of the time, if you're taking supplements like a daily vitamin, you're okay.

422
00:14:09.248 --> 00:14:14.169
But when you start, like, you know, experimenting with different supplements, know why.

423
00:14:14.429 --> 00:14:15.770
Know why you're taking it.

424
00:14:15.910 --> 00:14:17.050
Know what it's working for.

425
00:14:17.090 --> 00:14:18.030
What you're deficient in.

426
00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:18.370
Yes.

427
00:14:18.590 --> 00:14:19.250
So it works.

428
00:14:19.430 --> 00:14:19.690
Yeah.

429
00:14:20.431 --> 00:14:27.552
And the one thing I hate, because I'm guilty of it too, when I start feeling good and I stop taking something.

430
00:14:27.572 --> 00:14:27.972
Right.

431
00:14:28.272 --> 00:14:30.174
Well, I'm feeling good because I'm taking something.

432
00:14:30.194 --> 00:14:30.354
Right.

433
00:14:30.394 --> 00:14:30.734
Don't stop.

434
00:14:30.754 --> 00:14:32.896
Not because my body all of a sudden repaired itself.

435
00:14:33.096 --> 00:14:34.097
No, keep it going.

436
00:14:34.398 --> 00:14:34.958
Keep it going.

437
00:14:35.058 --> 00:14:37.120
So what supplements are you on?

438
00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:38.021
Oh, okay.

439
00:14:38.061 --> 00:14:39.602
Do you want all of them?

440
00:14:40.103 --> 00:14:40.883
Okay.

441
00:14:40.923 --> 00:14:43.586
I start off with the probiotics.

442
00:14:43.706 --> 00:14:45.948
Okay.

443
00:14:46.128 --> 00:14:51.573
Every morning in my coffee, I put a scoop of creatine, a scoop of collagen, and some electrolytes.

444
00:14:51.853 --> 00:14:52.394
Okay.

445
00:14:52.554 --> 00:14:53.435
How do you like creatine?

446
00:14:54.415 --> 00:14:54.915
I love creatine.

447
00:14:54.935 --> 00:14:55.136
You do?

448
00:14:55.196 --> 00:14:56.196
I know you don't take creatine.

449
00:14:57.417 --> 00:15:01.560
I didn't experience any of the bloating or any of it.

450
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:02.101
Okay.

451
00:15:02.121 --> 00:15:06.263
I feel like it gives me a little – it's not like a game changer at the gym, maybe like one more rep.

452
00:15:06.864 --> 00:15:10.506
But I am into it more for the brain function.

453
00:15:10.567 --> 00:15:10.887
Okay.

454
00:15:11.307 --> 00:15:12.568
Because it's very good for that.

455
00:15:12.588 --> 00:15:13.188
For the brain.

456
00:15:13.268 --> 00:15:13.448
100%.

457
00:15:13.628 --> 00:15:15.429
And it's really good for inflammation.

458
00:15:15.549 --> 00:15:17.190
And it's supposed to be really good.

459
00:15:18.170 --> 00:15:24.773
And I started taking a German brand because my coach said to me, a lot of these are made.

460
00:15:24.833 --> 00:15:25.653
You don't know where they're made.

461
00:15:25.693 --> 00:15:26.794
The ones you get on Amazon.

462
00:15:26.894 --> 00:15:27.974
Buy this one from Germany.

463
00:15:28.074 --> 00:15:28.615
It's clean.

464
00:15:28.735 --> 00:15:29.335
It's pure.

465
00:15:29.435 --> 00:15:30.675
And you're not going to have any other side effects.

466
00:15:30.755 --> 00:15:31.516
It's been working great.

467
00:15:31.536 --> 00:15:32.816
And you really share that with me.

468
00:15:32.896 --> 00:15:33.277
I will.

469
00:15:33.297 --> 00:15:34.237
Okay, good.

470
00:15:34.417 --> 00:15:35.097
So I take that.

471
00:15:35.297 --> 00:15:35.578
Okay.

472
00:15:35.658 --> 00:15:37.378
And obviously I take a multivitamin.

473
00:15:37.498 --> 00:15:38.359
I take a fish oil.

474
00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:39.299
Okay.

475
00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.881
Which I think that's universal, right?

476
00:15:40.901 --> 00:15:41.922
Yeah.

477
00:15:42.082 --> 00:15:45.926
I'm deficient in iron and vitamin D and DHEA.

478
00:15:46.046 --> 00:15:47.548
So I supplement with that.

479
00:15:48.509 --> 00:15:52.874
I take lion's mane for my brain because of my brain fog.

480
00:15:52.894 --> 00:15:53.655
Okay.

481
00:15:54.335 --> 00:15:57.058
And I also, this is newer, NMN.

482
00:15:57.298 --> 00:16:00.882
So it supplements NAD and metabolism.

483
00:16:01.122 --> 00:16:01.483
Okay.

484
00:16:01.883 --> 00:16:02.944
And do you feel all of this?

485
00:16:02.964 --> 00:16:03.624
This is recent.

486
00:16:04.245 --> 00:16:06.346
The NMN.

487
00:16:06.486 --> 00:16:06.787
Yes.

488
00:16:07.127 --> 00:16:07.928
This one's recent.

489
00:16:08.048 --> 00:16:09.028
I mean, I've been feeling great.

490
00:16:09.048 --> 00:16:10.429
So, I mean, I do so many things.

491
00:16:10.469 --> 00:16:10.710
Yeah.

492
00:16:10.790 --> 00:16:11.350
So I can't.

493
00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:12.131
You never know what works.

494
00:16:12.171 --> 00:16:12.751
I don't know.

495
00:16:12.771 --> 00:16:12.951
Right.

496
00:16:13.331 --> 00:16:15.073
And then at night, I take magnesium.

497
00:16:15.373 --> 00:16:15.653
Okay.

498
00:16:15.993 --> 00:16:16.934
That helps me sleep, too.

499
00:16:17.394 --> 00:16:17.555
Yeah.

500
00:16:17.695 --> 00:16:19.016
There's so many different magnesiums.

501
00:16:19.516 --> 00:16:22.238
I take one that includes, like, all of them.

502
00:16:22.298 --> 00:16:22.738
Me, too.

503
00:16:22.918 --> 00:16:23.399
Me, too.

504
00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:25.300
So me, my supplements.

505
00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:25.520
Yeah.

506
00:16:26.701 --> 00:16:28.463
I take D3 and K2.

507
00:16:28.704 --> 00:16:29.124
Oh, yeah.

508
00:16:29.144 --> 00:16:29.745
Mine is the same.

509
00:16:29.845 --> 00:16:30.185
You do?

510
00:16:30.225 --> 00:16:30.325
Yeah.

511
00:16:30.345 --> 00:16:30.566
Okay.

512
00:16:30.646 --> 00:16:34.250
So that's obviously D3 is for bone health.

513
00:16:34.650 --> 00:16:38.334
It's actually good with even like memory, like cognitive and stuff.

514
00:16:38.354 --> 00:16:40.176
The K2, good for bone health as well.

515
00:16:40.977 --> 00:16:41.598
I take a multi.

516
00:16:41.618 --> 00:16:41.718
Okay.

517
00:16:42.058 --> 00:16:43.319
I take a digestive enzyme.

518
00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:44.801
I have a terrible stomach.

519
00:16:44.841 --> 00:16:47.263
Like my stomach is constantly cramping.

520
00:16:47.303 --> 00:16:48.184
I don't know what it is.

521
00:16:48.724 --> 00:16:49.065
It helps.

522
00:16:49.345 --> 00:16:50.126
Yeah, it helps.

523
00:16:50.746 --> 00:16:53.108
A probiotic I take, I take my magnesium at night.

524
00:16:53.549 --> 00:16:57.933
I take homeocysteine supreme, which is good for blood and cardiovascular.

525
00:16:58.513 --> 00:17:00.895
And I also take my omega-3s and collagen.

526
00:17:01.095 --> 00:17:02.957
So that's like my daily every single day.

527
00:17:03.157 --> 00:17:03.598
I take that.

528
00:17:04.078 --> 00:17:04.198
Okay.

529
00:17:04.698 --> 00:17:08.580
And then as far as what else?

530
00:17:08.600 --> 00:17:13.342
So I don't take the creatine because, again, it's... Do you use protein powders?

531
00:17:13.602 --> 00:17:13.943
I do.

532
00:17:14.143 --> 00:17:15.683
I use egg-based protein.

533
00:17:15.743 --> 00:17:16.464
It's all egg white.

534
00:17:16.744 --> 00:17:19.845
It's not the way I... For some reason, it just... Yeah.

535
00:17:19.865 --> 00:17:21.246
It bloats me and I just...

536
00:17:21.306 --> 00:17:21.926
I feel it.

537
00:17:22.266 --> 00:17:22.466
Yeah.

538
00:17:22.526 --> 00:17:27.549
I like... Like since we've discussed prior, like I try not to have any processed food.

539
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:31.070
I feel like protein powder is processed, but I still have it.

540
00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:31.811
Yeah.

541
00:17:31.851 --> 00:17:32.311
When I need it.

542
00:17:32.611 --> 00:17:33.531
Yeah.

543
00:17:33.571 --> 00:17:33.931
You know what?

544
00:17:33.951 --> 00:17:39.013
I always say like I battle with that because every coach will tell you drink your protein shakes.

545
00:17:39.293 --> 00:17:40.553
But yet I feel like it is.

546
00:17:40.613 --> 00:17:41.894
It's such a processed thing.

547
00:17:41.914 --> 00:17:44.435
Like I almost feel guilty putting it in my mind.

548
00:17:44.775 --> 00:17:47.055
If I could have real food, I'll go for real food.

549
00:17:47.075 --> 00:17:47.275
You would.

550
00:17:47.295 --> 00:17:51.017
But if I'm in a bind and I need to get my protein and I'll have a protein shake.

551
00:17:51.597 --> 00:17:54.438
Every day I have to because it is hard to get your protein in.

552
00:17:54.678 --> 00:17:57.318
And I'll put a little bit of protein powder in my yogurt.

553
00:17:57.338 --> 00:17:57.739
Me too.

554
00:17:57.959 --> 00:17:58.199
Me too.

555
00:17:58.459 --> 00:17:58.859
Me too.

556
00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:01.020
I mean, I've gotten so...

557
00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:02.381
I've done protein pancakes.

558
00:18:02.421 --> 00:18:03.202
I mean, I get creative.

559
00:18:03.222 --> 00:18:03.762
I try to.

560
00:18:03.782 --> 00:18:05.824
I don't cook much, but I do try to...

561
00:18:05.944 --> 00:18:06.844
I put protein in.

562
00:18:07.044 --> 00:18:08.365
I just recently put it in.

563
00:18:08.646 --> 00:18:10.007
You're going to be like, that is so gross.

564
00:18:10.107 --> 00:18:11.347
I put it in cottage cheese.

565
00:18:11.828 --> 00:18:12.528
No, I've done that too.

566
00:18:12.568 --> 00:18:13.069
Oh, you have?

567
00:18:13.089 --> 00:18:13.289
Yeah.

568
00:18:13.309 --> 00:18:14.450
Okay, because I thought it was weird.

569
00:18:14.870 --> 00:18:16.071
I thought it was like cheesecake.

570
00:18:16.251 --> 00:18:16.391
Yeah.

571
00:18:16.411 --> 00:18:17.852
I'm like, it was like a chocolate cheese.

572
00:18:17.992 --> 00:18:21.555
Like normal people probably won't think that, but I feel like it's like a dessert.

573
00:18:21.695 --> 00:18:22.295
Okay, good.

574
00:18:22.335 --> 00:18:23.856
So I'm like, is this weird that I'm eating?

575
00:18:23.916 --> 00:18:24.197
Yeah.

576
00:18:24.217 --> 00:18:24.657
But no.

577
00:18:24.757 --> 00:18:25.037
Yeah.

578
00:18:25.137 --> 00:18:27.339
So, but the supplements too.

579
00:18:27.679 --> 00:18:28.840
My Sunday night...

580
00:18:29.260 --> 00:18:30.100
I have my list.

581
00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:31.480
Literally, I have like a little chart.

582
00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:34.241
I have my, you know, all my days of the week.

583
00:18:34.741 --> 00:18:38.222
And I open them up, whether I take it midday or morning, midday at night.

584
00:18:38.642 --> 00:18:44.823
And Sundays, I just take all my, my, because again, if you're not planning, you're setting yourself up for failure.

585
00:18:44.883 --> 00:18:46.563
And if you travel, do you take all your supplements?

586
00:18:46.583 --> 00:18:46.843
I do.

587
00:18:47.083 --> 00:18:47.443
Everything?

588
00:18:47.623 --> 00:18:47.963
Everything.

589
00:18:48.383 --> 00:18:50.344
But again, I have my little cases.

590
00:18:50.524 --> 00:18:50.844
You're right.

591
00:18:51.124 --> 00:18:55.324
You know, so I just grab the days of the week and I just, it makes it easy.

592
00:18:55.424 --> 00:18:58.605
I take my vitamins, but like, just like not the collagen and the...

593
00:18:58.865 --> 00:19:00.046
No, and I won't take the protein.

594
00:19:00.066 --> 00:19:00.746
The protein, yeah.

595
00:19:00.766 --> 00:19:03.248
If I pick up a shake, like a pre-made.

596
00:19:03.288 --> 00:19:08.371
The one thing I don't travel with because it's hard is my peptides.

597
00:19:08.551 --> 00:19:09.851
Oh, let's talk about peptides.

598
00:19:09.871 --> 00:19:11.012
Let's get into our peptides.

599
00:19:11.092 --> 00:19:11.653
Okay, this is good.

600
00:19:11.713 --> 00:19:15.235
Those are hard to travel with because they need to be kept in the fridge and...

601
00:19:16.155 --> 00:19:21.118
It's like, you know, but the traveling and then you got to make sure that the hotel has a fridge.

602
00:19:21.178 --> 00:19:24.960
And it's like how many times I've gotten burned by like that.

603
00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:25.841
So I'm like, you know what?

604
00:19:26.541 --> 00:19:34.406
Now the NAD, if it's like if I know I'm traveling, let's say Sunday to Sunday, I'll just take it a little earlier because it's like a weak thing.

605
00:19:34.426 --> 00:19:35.266
We take our one dose.

606
00:19:35.566 --> 00:19:37.908
So what peptides are you on?

607
00:19:38.488 --> 00:19:38.868
Right now.

608
00:19:39.068 --> 00:19:41.409
Currently, I'm on the glow.

609
00:19:41.549 --> 00:19:41.929
That's it.

610
00:19:42.109 --> 00:19:42.930
So I'm on a stack.

611
00:19:42.950 --> 00:19:47.712
And that has the copper, the BP-157, and the TB-500.

612
00:19:47.732 --> 00:19:49.552
You're on an AD2.

613
00:19:50.013 --> 00:19:51.193
But that's not a supplement.

614
00:19:51.433 --> 00:19:53.134
I mean, that's not a peptide, believe it or not.

615
00:19:53.214 --> 00:19:53.654
It is.

616
00:19:53.894 --> 00:19:54.794
It's not a peptide.

617
00:19:55.295 --> 00:19:56.555
I always thought it was a peptide.

618
00:19:56.795 --> 00:19:59.956
And Dr. Namali was like, Nat is not a peptide.

619
00:20:00.437 --> 00:20:00.817
I know.

620
00:20:01.677 --> 00:20:02.737
She broke it down for me.

621
00:20:02.797 --> 00:20:04.398
She's like, it's not a peptide.

622
00:20:04.698 --> 00:20:05.058
Okay.

623
00:20:05.278 --> 00:20:05.758
But it does.

624
00:20:05.938 --> 00:20:06.338
You know what?

625
00:20:06.478 --> 00:20:09.319
Because people, I always consider it.

626
00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:09.979
I'm taking NAD.

627
00:20:10.159 --> 00:20:11.999
When people tell me what peptides, I say NAD.

628
00:20:12.179 --> 00:20:12.399
Yeah.

629
00:20:12.479 --> 00:20:15.300
Because, yes, it's considered, but it's really not.

630
00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:16.100
Isn't that crazy?

631
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:16.920
Oh, I thought NAD+.

632
00:20:16.940 --> 00:20:17.361
Me too.

633
00:20:17.681 --> 00:20:19.181
So what peptides?

634
00:20:19.281 --> 00:20:20.641
Okay, so you're right now on The Glow.

635
00:20:20.681 --> 00:20:21.621
You're taking NAD.

636
00:20:22.282 --> 00:20:23.762
What have you taken in the past?

637
00:20:24.783 --> 00:20:27.685
The basics, the ipamoralin, the samoralin.

638
00:20:28.005 --> 00:20:28.666
What's the one?

639
00:20:28.746 --> 00:20:29.446
I can't remember.

640
00:20:29.506 --> 00:20:31.268
Remember I said I was getting so itchy?

641
00:20:31.348 --> 00:20:33.890
Wasn't that from the CJC 1295?

642
00:20:33.930 --> 00:20:34.490
CJC 1295.

643
00:20:34.510 --> 00:20:38.393
But wasn't that combined with the epamoralin?

644
00:20:38.413 --> 00:20:39.334
No, ipamoralin.

645
00:20:39.394 --> 00:20:40.035
Epamoralin.

646
00:20:40.375 --> 00:20:40.575
Right?

647
00:20:40.655 --> 00:20:43.337
Ipamoralin, suramoralin, or however people say it different.

648
00:20:43.357 --> 00:20:48.221
But no, because I was doing, I've done the samoralin before, the ipamoralin.

649
00:20:48.301 --> 00:20:48.942
I've done those.

650
00:20:49.362 --> 00:20:50.383
I've never had the reaction.

651
00:20:50.523 --> 00:20:51.343
Maybe a little itchy.

652
00:20:52.104 --> 00:20:57.146
When I tell you, when I took the CJC, my whole body flushed.

653
00:20:57.726 --> 00:20:59.026
My vision went blurred.

654
00:20:59.046 --> 00:21:00.947
I can't believe you still – and you finished it.

655
00:21:00.967 --> 00:21:01.587
And I finished it.

656
00:21:01.787 --> 00:21:03.287
I was like, well, I didn't die the first time.

657
00:21:03.327 --> 00:21:04.768
I would have gone to like the emergency room.

658
00:21:04.808 --> 00:21:05.448
I almost did.

659
00:21:05.728 --> 00:21:06.428
I almost did.

660
00:21:06.808 --> 00:21:07.829
I called Namali.

661
00:21:07.869 --> 00:21:09.709
It was like – I took her right before bed, so it was night.

662
00:21:10.029 --> 00:21:10.890
I called Dr. Namali.

663
00:21:10.930 --> 00:21:17.872
I'm like, I don't know if I'm having a reaction that's going to kill me, but my breathing feels like it's like slowed down.

664
00:21:18.052 --> 00:21:19.392
And you probably were in your head too.

665
00:21:19.412 --> 00:21:20.494
You were like freaking out.

666
00:21:20.614 --> 00:21:23.218
And I was scratching myself like a fiend.

667
00:21:23.318 --> 00:21:25.421
Like I was like, Billy's like, what is going on with you?

668
00:21:25.601 --> 00:21:27.384
I was literally trying to scratch my skin off.

669
00:21:27.404 --> 00:21:28.305
That's how bad it was.

670
00:21:29.026 --> 00:21:30.168
Running, I ran to the bathroom.

671
00:21:30.188 --> 00:21:31.771
I got under a cold shower.

672
00:21:31.851 --> 00:21:32.552
It was that bad.

673
00:21:32.572 --> 00:21:33.693
Oh, my God.

674
00:21:34.074 --> 00:21:34.254
But.

675
00:21:34.855 --> 00:21:35.736
I still had more.

676
00:21:35.776 --> 00:21:37.978
And I was like, I'm not going to let this shit go to waste.

677
00:21:38.058 --> 00:21:39.940
I still took it every night and it got better.

678
00:21:40.601 --> 00:21:45.846
She did tell me the first time you may have like a really bad reaction just because your body's not used to it.

679
00:21:46.546 --> 00:21:48.368
She's like, maybe you shouldn't take it.

680
00:21:48.488 --> 00:21:50.771
But I did it just to test it the next day.

681
00:21:50.791 --> 00:21:52.152
And I was like, OK, it's getting better.

682
00:21:52.352 --> 00:21:52.612
Yeah.

683
00:21:53.393 --> 00:21:56.196
So from everything you've taken, what's your favorite?

684
00:21:56.216 --> 00:21:56.376
Yeah.

685
00:21:56.763 --> 00:21:57.783
I'm loving the glow.

686
00:21:58.183 --> 00:21:59.624
I'm loving this new one.

687
00:21:59.644 --> 00:22:01.544
So what do you feel on the glow?

688
00:22:01.564 --> 00:22:02.424
I feel so.

689
00:22:02.464 --> 00:22:05.165
I just everybody's been telling me like my skin looks good.

690
00:22:05.225 --> 00:22:05.665
My hair.

691
00:22:05.705 --> 00:22:06.825
I've been getting so many compliments.

692
00:22:06.845 --> 00:22:08.065
My hair is so long.

693
00:22:08.085 --> 00:22:08.745
Yeah.

694
00:22:08.805 --> 00:22:09.885
And that's got to be the copper.

695
00:22:09.905 --> 00:22:12.706
It's got to be the copper because I've done the BP.

696
00:22:12.906 --> 00:22:14.366
You know, I've done the rest of them.

697
00:22:14.386 --> 00:22:14.926
What is it?

698
00:22:15.026 --> 00:22:15.626
The BP.

699
00:22:15.726 --> 00:22:16.287
See what?

700
00:22:16.707 --> 00:22:19.347
So it has to be the because I've never done copper.

701
00:22:20.487 --> 00:22:22.788
I feel I will say the NAD.

702
00:22:22.808 --> 00:22:23.328
Yeah.

703
00:22:24.603 --> 00:22:29.485
Like we talked about, we have to go talk to Christine because it's not giving me that energy.

704
00:22:29.505 --> 00:22:30.485
And it's expensive.

705
00:22:30.545 --> 00:22:32.246
I have the energy the day of.

706
00:22:32.626 --> 00:22:33.646
You do?

707
00:22:33.686 --> 00:22:34.866
I don't feel different.

708
00:22:34.946 --> 00:22:36.507
So I think we need to revisit.

709
00:22:36.527 --> 00:22:37.187
We need to talk to her.

710
00:22:37.207 --> 00:22:38.127
I'll text her after this.

711
00:22:38.147 --> 00:22:38.868
We can get on that.

712
00:22:38.908 --> 00:22:45.430
But overall, the glow, I just feel like I feel confident.

713
00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:51.193
So would you recommend women out there to try these peptides?

714
00:22:51.213 --> 00:22:51.953
A million percent.

715
00:22:52.053 --> 00:22:53.674
I am an advocate for peptides.

716
00:22:53.954 --> 00:22:54.154
Yeah.

717
00:22:54.594 --> 00:22:58.316
I know that, listen, again, and we always say this, we're not experts.

718
00:22:58.596 --> 00:22:59.537
Talk to your doctors.

719
00:22:59.677 --> 00:22:59.917
Yeah.

720
00:23:00.617 --> 00:23:08.321
But I have to say when people are telling me, like, they're just not feeling themselves, before I say, like, I always say, get your blood work checked.

721
00:23:08.461 --> 00:23:09.282
Right, number one.

722
00:23:09.422 --> 00:23:11.663
I'm always like, it's hormones or COVID.

723
00:23:11.843 --> 00:23:13.804
That's like two things you blame everything on.

724
00:23:14.825 --> 00:23:15.105
But...

725
00:23:15.925 --> 00:23:19.951
With peptides, I'm no, like, this is not new for me.

726
00:23:19.991 --> 00:23:21.954
I've been doing peptides for over 15 years.

727
00:23:21.994 --> 00:23:22.995
Which is crazy.

728
00:23:23.075 --> 00:23:24.758
Before people even knew about them.

729
00:23:24.778 --> 00:23:25.619
I knew about them.

730
00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:29.945
And I have to tell you, like, I don't regret it.

731
00:23:30.165 --> 00:23:30.866
I recommend it.

732
00:23:31.627 --> 00:23:37.291
I tell everybody, of course, I just say this is for my own opinion, my own choice.

733
00:23:37.331 --> 00:23:38.792
But I do want to say one thing.

734
00:23:38.872 --> 00:23:39.052
Yeah.

735
00:23:39.152 --> 00:23:39.372
I agree.

736
00:23:39.592 --> 00:23:40.753
You know, peptides could be great.

737
00:23:40.933 --> 00:23:46.777
But if you're not exercising, you're not walking, and you're not sleeping, and you're eating processed food, don't waste your money.

738
00:23:47.337 --> 00:23:47.897
Start there.

739
00:23:47.957 --> 00:23:49.639
You have to have the healthy lifestyle to begin with.

740
00:23:49.899 --> 00:23:50.179
Right.

741
00:23:50.199 --> 00:23:50.639
Number one.

742
00:23:50.739 --> 00:23:50.979
Yes.

743
00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:52.861
And I will say...

744
00:23:54.044 --> 00:23:55.064
Always go to a professional.

745
00:23:55.224 --> 00:23:56.005
Don't get them online.

746
00:23:56.665 --> 00:23:57.665
Don't get them online.

747
00:23:57.685 --> 00:23:58.506
Everybody's getting them online.

748
00:23:58.526 --> 00:23:59.566
Don't get them online.

749
00:23:59.626 --> 00:24:00.587
And they're so expensive.

750
00:24:00.627 --> 00:24:02.387
Why would you buy something online for that much?

751
00:24:02.467 --> 00:24:06.029
And I would rather pay premium to know I'm getting the legit stuff.

752
00:24:06.509 --> 00:24:07.229
It's monitored.

753
00:24:07.789 --> 00:24:09.770
And I'm being advised by a professional.

754
00:24:10.130 --> 00:24:15.312
And a lot of times they will do your blood work to see where you're at.

755
00:24:15.412 --> 00:24:19.374
And they'll track it and see if the peptides are affecting anything.

756
00:24:19.694 --> 00:24:21.415
So I think that's number one.

757
00:24:21.495 --> 00:24:21.895
Get it.

758
00:24:22.715 --> 00:24:24.798
You're going to pay more, but it's worth it.

759
00:24:24.818 --> 00:24:25.860
You're paying a lot anyway.

760
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:26.320
Yeah.

761
00:24:26.340 --> 00:24:26.801
You know what I mean?

762
00:24:26.821 --> 00:24:27.742
You're already paying a lot.

763
00:24:27.762 --> 00:24:31.227
You're already going to get them off of like this guy on Instagram that's promoting them.

764
00:24:31.467 --> 00:24:31.847
No.

765
00:24:32.268 --> 00:24:32.709
What about you?

766
00:24:32.729 --> 00:24:33.209
What are you on?

767
00:24:34.171 --> 00:24:36.393
I am on the NAD.

768
00:24:36.494 --> 00:24:36.834
Okay.

769
00:24:36.914 --> 00:24:38.496
Which I just found out is not a peptide, but.

770
00:24:38.516 --> 00:24:38.757
Yeah.

771
00:24:39.457 --> 00:24:41.919
Listen, I didn't know either because it's considered.

772
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:43.160
So you're taking the glow.

773
00:24:43.260 --> 00:24:46.362
I'm taking GHKQ, which is just the copper.

774
00:24:47.303 --> 00:24:49.024
And that's my favorite peptide.

775
00:24:49.224 --> 00:24:50.165
I love it.

776
00:24:51.165 --> 00:24:53.107
I've been taking it probably now for a year.

777
00:24:53.127 --> 00:24:54.788
I cycle on and off of it.

778
00:24:54.868 --> 00:24:55.168
Okay.

779
00:24:55.508 --> 00:24:58.430
So what's the cycle like every six weeks?

780
00:24:58.811 --> 00:24:59.711
So I just finished it.

781
00:24:59.751 --> 00:25:01.833
So I'll be off of it for about six to eight weeks.

782
00:25:01.893 --> 00:25:02.973
And then I'll try again.

783
00:25:03.154 --> 00:25:04.915
It's helped me with my skin.

784
00:25:06.182 --> 00:25:07.063
You have great skin.

785
00:25:07.363 --> 00:25:10.606
My nails are like so nice.

786
00:25:10.866 --> 00:25:11.547
My hair.

787
00:25:11.567 --> 00:25:12.067
Yeah.

788
00:25:12.468 --> 00:25:13.709
Just like – and the skin.

789
00:25:13.729 --> 00:25:14.670
The glow, right?

790
00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:16.171
Don't you feel like you have a glow with it?

791
00:25:16.191 --> 00:25:16.271
Yes.

792
00:25:16.291 --> 00:25:17.352
Glowing skin for sure.

793
00:25:17.372 --> 00:25:17.953
I agree.

794
00:25:18.293 --> 00:25:19.474
That has been my favorite.

795
00:25:19.975 --> 00:25:20.695
Your favorite.

796
00:25:20.735 --> 00:25:21.136
And the NAD –

797
00:25:21.836 --> 00:25:22.817
You know, I don't know.

798
00:25:23.097 --> 00:25:24.259
I just feel like it's not.

799
00:25:24.379 --> 00:25:25.520
I mean, we started it together.

800
00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:25.980
Yeah.

801
00:25:26.100 --> 00:25:26.481
So I don't know.

802
00:25:26.541 --> 00:25:27.882
And we're both having the same results.

803
00:25:27.922 --> 00:25:28.843
We just might need more.

804
00:25:29.063 --> 00:25:29.284
Maybe.

805
00:25:29.304 --> 00:25:31.986
We have so much energy and plus everything else we're doing.

806
00:25:32.046 --> 00:25:32.287
Right.

807
00:25:32.527 --> 00:25:34.229
Maybe we just need a little bit higher of a dose.

808
00:25:34.349 --> 00:25:37.312
And then in the past, I did try some morelin.

809
00:25:37.472 --> 00:25:37.772
Okay.

810
00:25:37.972 --> 00:25:38.473
What do you think?

811
00:25:39.937 --> 00:25:41.118
I don't really didn't do anything for me.

812
00:25:41.138 --> 00:25:41.738
It still played out.

813
00:25:41.918 --> 00:25:42.858
It didn't do anything for me.

814
00:25:43.278 --> 00:25:45.239
The only thing it did was help me sleep.

815
00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:45.759
It did.

816
00:25:45.919 --> 00:25:46.219
It did.

817
00:25:46.399 --> 00:25:46.860
It's supposed to.

818
00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:51.301
And then I did epimorillin combined with CJC 1295.

819
00:25:51.361 --> 00:25:52.582
And what do you think of that?

820
00:25:53.282 --> 00:25:56.083
That really, really worked.

821
00:25:56.143 --> 00:25:56.983
It worked for me.

822
00:25:57.063 --> 00:25:57.844
It did.

823
00:25:57.944 --> 00:26:01.685
It targets visceral fat, but I don't really have visceral fat.

824
00:26:01.745 --> 00:26:01.925
No.

825
00:26:02.165 --> 00:26:05.189
So I just felt it got me very lean.

826
00:26:05.289 --> 00:26:09.073
I was the same weight from when I started to when I finished, but I just looked leaner.

827
00:26:09.254 --> 00:26:09.494
Yeah.

828
00:26:09.874 --> 00:26:11.016
And I didn't like how I looked.

829
00:26:11.076 --> 00:26:12.177
I was very vascular.

830
00:26:12.417 --> 00:26:12.598
Yeah.

831
00:26:12.618 --> 00:26:14.240
Because I had no fat.

832
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:16.502
So I just looked very veiny.

833
00:26:16.542 --> 00:26:17.884
So I didn't like that look at all.

834
00:26:18.224 --> 00:26:18.344
Yeah.

835
00:26:18.364 --> 00:26:19.506
So I won't do that again.

836
00:26:19.766 --> 00:26:19.966
No.

837
00:26:20.406 --> 00:26:27.750
And that's huge because that's one thing with bodybuilding and with eating and you're going to get lean, you know, and same thing with me.

838
00:26:27.850 --> 00:26:28.990
I'm super vascular.

839
00:26:29.050 --> 00:26:30.211
Naturally, I'm super vascular.

840
00:26:30.231 --> 00:26:34.273
But when I see it start like my calves, my shoulder calves getting too round and like.

841
00:26:34.993 --> 00:26:35.773
I pull back too.

842
00:26:35.954 --> 00:26:37.234
I don't like the way that looks either.

843
00:26:37.714 --> 00:26:37.954
Yeah.

844
00:26:37.994 --> 00:26:43.257
So I don't know why I was so vascular because I was the same weight.

845
00:26:43.517 --> 00:26:46.178
You don't think it was – it had to be the peptide.

846
00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:47.339
Yeah, it had to be.

847
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.600
Well, that one does, and that's the CJC.

848
00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:53.342
The CJ – what is – no, the epimaryllin is in that – what is that supposed to do?

849
00:26:53.382 --> 00:26:55.143
Just like help you with body composition?

850
00:26:55.223 --> 00:26:55.423
Yep.

851
00:26:55.543 --> 00:26:56.803
The inflammation.

852
00:26:56.984 --> 00:26:58.204
Obviously cognitive.

853
00:26:58.744 --> 00:26:59.905
It's supposed to do everything.

854
00:27:00.185 --> 00:27:00.965
And you know what's funny?

855
00:27:01.025 --> 00:27:05.107
And this is why we always say consult with like a specialist, like someone who knows us.

856
00:27:05.527 --> 00:27:08.968
Because if you read up on them, they all do the same thing.

857
00:27:09.368 --> 00:27:09.548
Yeah.

858
00:27:09.568 --> 00:27:13.710
But they all have that one that just helps a little bit more.

859
00:27:13.810 --> 00:27:16.030
So essentially, it's going to help with the inflammation.

860
00:27:16.090 --> 00:27:17.151
It's going to help with your cognitive.

861
00:27:17.171 --> 00:27:19.572
It's going to help with, you know, the energy.

862
00:27:20.092 --> 00:27:21.132
They all help with that.

863
00:27:21.552 --> 00:27:24.313
But they do target like the copper targets your skin.

864
00:27:24.493 --> 00:27:25.934
And I've been more linen.

865
00:27:25.954 --> 00:27:28.314
Smoralen are known to also target your skin and hair.

866
00:27:28.454 --> 00:27:28.715
Yeah.

867
00:27:30.135 --> 00:27:32.938
Definitely continue with the GHKQ.

868
00:27:33.158 --> 00:27:33.599
I love it.

869
00:27:33.639 --> 00:27:34.219
Me too.

870
00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:39.164
That is going to be in rotation in my routine for as long as I can.

871
00:27:39.184 --> 00:27:44.449
And I haven't tried anything else that I would want to go back to.

872
00:27:44.730 --> 00:27:44.910
No.

873
00:27:45.310 --> 00:27:47.753
So you've done the stacks and then the individuals.

874
00:27:47.993 --> 00:27:48.573
What do you prefer?

875
00:27:48.593 --> 00:27:48.694
Yeah.

876
00:27:49.254 --> 00:27:49.674
Oh, I did.

877
00:27:49.775 --> 00:27:50.355
I did the glow.

878
00:27:50.555 --> 00:27:51.176
You did the glow.

879
00:27:51.376 --> 00:27:53.058
And then I prefer the individual.

880
00:27:53.078 --> 00:27:53.438
You do?

881
00:27:53.538 --> 00:27:53.718
Mm-hmm.

882
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:58.082
So I'm curious to see because I'm going to probably do individual.

883
00:27:58.282 --> 00:27:58.683
You should.

884
00:27:58.783 --> 00:27:59.503
You should.

885
00:27:59.544 --> 00:28:03.767
When you're done with the glow, you should go on the GHKQ and see how the difference.

886
00:28:04.108 --> 00:28:05.969
I won't be able to go on the copper, right?

887
00:28:05.989 --> 00:28:06.670
I'll have to cycle.

888
00:28:06.690 --> 00:28:07.831
No, you won't be able to.

889
00:28:08.051 --> 00:28:09.353
Oh, because it was in the stack?

890
00:28:09.513 --> 00:28:09.713
Yeah.

891
00:28:10.433 --> 00:28:11.213
Oh, okay.

892
00:28:11.314 --> 00:28:14.115
Because I had just finished what you're on, the glow.

893
00:28:14.595 --> 00:28:15.035
Okay, you did.

894
00:28:15.075 --> 00:28:15.215
I did.

895
00:28:15.275 --> 00:28:16.916
And then you were able to start the copper right away.

896
00:28:17.116 --> 00:28:17.396
Okay.

897
00:28:17.676 --> 00:28:18.916
Did you feel any different?

898
00:28:19.657 --> 00:28:20.577
No, just like my skin.

899
00:28:20.597 --> 00:28:23.038
I feel like it's more my skin and my nails.

900
00:28:23.378 --> 00:28:23.938
And your nails.

901
00:28:24.078 --> 00:28:25.119
And my eyelashes, too.

902
00:28:25.479 --> 00:28:26.099
Oh, really?

903
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:28.480
And you don't get the – those are your lashes.

904
00:28:28.580 --> 00:28:28.740
Mm-hmm.

905
00:28:28.780 --> 00:28:29.560
They look great.

906
00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.200
Oh, thank you.

907
00:28:30.241 --> 00:28:31.301
What mascara are you using?

908
00:28:31.721 --> 00:28:32.822
I'm using one from Benefit.

909
00:28:33.202 --> 00:28:33.522
Really?

910
00:28:33.542 --> 00:28:33.682
Yeah.

911
00:28:34.082 --> 00:28:36.263
So I just got Too Faced and I'm like obsessed with it.

912
00:28:36.404 --> 00:28:37.544
Which one?

913
00:28:37.784 --> 00:28:39.645
Something sex, better than sex.

914
00:28:39.825 --> 00:28:40.466
I've used that too.

915
00:28:40.486 --> 00:28:41.086
Better than sex.

916
00:28:41.106 --> 00:28:41.506
That looks good.

917
00:28:41.526 --> 00:28:41.926
I do like it.

918
00:28:42.487 --> 00:28:45.928
But yeah, so I mean, listen, there are so many peptides.

919
00:28:46.129 --> 00:28:47.849
You can get lost in peptide worlds.

920
00:28:48.130 --> 00:28:48.610
Oh my God.

921
00:28:48.630 --> 00:28:51.852
You could go down the rabbit hole with peptides for sure.

922
00:28:52.332 --> 00:28:53.592
But I'm an advocate.

923
00:28:54.373 --> 00:28:55.353
They are a game changer.

924
00:28:55.473 --> 00:28:56.334
As you are aging,

925
00:28:57.094 --> 00:29:08.539
And I've heard like the BPC-157, like if you're injured or like you have like a shoulder injury or something and you start taking that peptide, it'll get rid of the pain, which is huge.

926
00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:10.440
I'm surprised that your back is still hurting.

927
00:29:10.540 --> 00:29:10.680
I know.

928
00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.461
Maybe you're not.

929
00:29:11.641 --> 00:29:13.081
Well, I'm not on the CJC.

930
00:29:13.462 --> 00:29:13.702
No.

931
00:29:13.802 --> 00:29:14.862
Oh, the BP-7?

932
00:29:15.002 --> 00:29:15.703
The BP-7?

933
00:29:15.863 --> 00:29:16.303
The BP-7?

934
00:29:17.684 --> 00:29:21.325
Honestly, it's got to be a knot in my back that's just pressing on a nerve.

935
00:29:21.505 --> 00:29:21.685
Yeah.

936
00:29:21.705 --> 00:29:22.686
It feels good now, though.

937
00:29:22.846 --> 00:29:24.267
But I would say...

938
00:29:26.248 --> 00:29:28.569
Number one, you have to have all the lifestyle factors in check.

939
00:29:28.909 --> 00:29:29.169
Right.

940
00:29:29.569 --> 00:29:30.970
This is just like an add on.

941
00:29:31.010 --> 00:29:31.190
Yeah.

942
00:29:31.350 --> 00:29:34.031
That's the that's the that's a basic one on one.

943
00:29:34.051 --> 00:29:36.012
Like you need to have the healthy lifestyle.

944
00:29:36.112 --> 00:29:38.574
And I will definitely want to try a different one.

945
00:29:38.774 --> 00:29:42.976
So I'm up to going back and seeing what else like they would recommend for us.

946
00:29:43.156 --> 00:29:43.396
Yeah.

947
00:29:43.936 --> 00:29:45.757
And another thing that is huge that.

948
00:29:45.777 --> 00:29:45.977
Yeah.

949
00:29:47.318 --> 00:29:48.659
It's something I didn't know.

950
00:29:49.139 --> 00:29:52.581
In the past, I would be getting the stuff and I'd have to mix the water.

951
00:29:52.601 --> 00:29:53.541
I would never know how much.

952
00:29:54.442 --> 00:30:00.605
Using someone, being directed and guided by someone, it comes mixed, which I love.

953
00:30:00.625 --> 00:30:02.766
I'm not guessing how much of the water I'm putting in.

954
00:30:02.786 --> 00:30:03.046
Right, right.

955
00:30:03.066 --> 00:30:04.587
And you know you're getting the right stuff.

956
00:30:04.767 --> 00:30:05.127
Yes.

957
00:30:05.267 --> 00:30:06.989
And then my dosage, it's there.

958
00:30:07.109 --> 00:30:07.889
It's being monitored.

959
00:30:07.929 --> 00:30:09.730
So it's like, I know what I'm supposed to be taking.

960
00:30:09.770 --> 00:30:13.493
I'm not kind of like just assuming or thinking of Google.

961
00:30:13.513 --> 00:30:14.553
Oh, it's so important.

962
00:30:14.593 --> 00:30:14.894
Yeah.

963
00:30:14.954 --> 00:30:18.356
You're not talking to chat, asking him for recommendations on those things.

964
00:30:18.396 --> 00:30:19.256
Chat is great.

965
00:30:19.356 --> 00:30:20.717
And you can go to him.

966
00:30:20.777 --> 00:30:20.957
But...

967
00:30:21.998 --> 00:30:24.860
I always say human intervention, you still need work for help.

968
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.521
Yeah, and she's so – where we go, she's so knowledgeable.

969
00:30:28.502 --> 00:30:28.902
So good.

970
00:30:29.142 --> 00:30:30.683
So, yeah, I definitely work with somebody.

971
00:30:30.703 --> 00:30:31.723
And she gets everything like that.

972
00:30:31.903 --> 00:30:32.984
Work with somebody.

973
00:30:33.064 --> 00:30:33.825
Work with somebody.

974
00:30:33.865 --> 00:30:34.825
Don't do this on your own.

975
00:30:34.925 --> 00:30:35.645
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

976
00:30:35.666 --> 00:30:36.886
Because you could get in trouble too.

977
00:30:36.906 --> 00:30:38.307
You don't know what you're taking, what you're buying.

978
00:30:38.527 --> 00:30:40.990
No, and again, this is, we're injecting it into our bodies.

979
00:30:41.010 --> 00:30:42.191
Yeah, you got to be very careful.

980
00:30:42.231 --> 00:30:47.376
This is something like, yeah, and I guess that's why most people are like hesitant to try it, you know.

981
00:30:47.396 --> 00:30:47.816
Yeah, it's scary.

982
00:30:48.297 --> 00:30:52.521
So is there any peptide that's on your radar that you would like to try?

983
00:30:52.541 --> 00:30:53.222
Yes, MOTC.

984
00:30:53.863 --> 00:30:54.283
Oh, me too.

985
00:30:54.523 --> 00:30:55.464
I know.

986
00:30:55.624 --> 00:30:56.104
The matzi.

987
00:30:56.124 --> 00:30:56.824
We've got to get on this one.

988
00:30:56.844 --> 00:31:01.566
Okay, once we're done with this, when we go back, we'll try matzi and see what it does.

989
00:31:01.606 --> 00:31:03.587
I've heard amazing things about the matzi.

990
00:31:03.647 --> 00:31:04.368
Yeah, me too.

991
00:31:04.668 --> 00:31:05.268
And what else?

992
00:31:05.488 --> 00:31:06.028
There was another one.

993
00:31:06.048 --> 00:31:07.569
Is there any other that you're trying?

994
00:31:07.949 --> 00:31:09.690
Like, you know, what about?

995
00:31:09.790 --> 00:31:10.710
A test of Morlin.

996
00:31:10.890 --> 00:31:12.991
What about test of Morlin?

997
00:31:13.091 --> 00:31:14.332
Is that more for a guy?

998
00:31:14.732 --> 00:31:15.993
Well, it increases your hunger.

999
00:31:16.033 --> 00:31:16.633
I can't have that.

1000
00:31:16.673 --> 00:31:17.053
Oh, no.

1001
00:31:17.393 --> 00:31:18.013
I'm always hungry.

1002
00:31:18.033 --> 00:31:18.774
Who would want to be on that?

1003
00:31:19.334 --> 00:31:20.014
I'm always hungry.

1004
00:31:20.054 --> 00:31:20.875
I can't have that.

1005
00:31:20.935 --> 00:31:21.175
No.

1006
00:31:22.615 --> 00:31:25.817
So, yeah, I've heard a lot about Tessamorillin, but I heard it's very good for men.

1007
00:31:26.357 --> 00:31:26.617
It is.

1008
00:31:26.897 --> 00:31:27.457
It is, right?

1009
00:31:27.497 --> 00:31:34.180
I think it's like from all the Samorellin, the Ebba, I think that's like the better one.

1010
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:34.700
Yeah.

1011
00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:37.421
So are you sold on peptides?

1012
00:31:37.501 --> 00:31:40.722
Is peptides going to be in your life for the rest of existence?

1013
00:31:40.742 --> 00:31:41.323
Yeah, I like it.

1014
00:31:41.523 --> 00:31:41.823
I do.

1015
00:31:42.083 --> 00:31:42.303
Yes.

1016
00:31:42.883 --> 00:31:43.303
And you know what?

1017
00:31:43.323 --> 00:31:44.184
It's still so new.

1018
00:31:44.984 --> 00:31:48.186
So I wonder how long it is going to be an epidemic.

1019
00:31:48.226 --> 00:31:49.967
There's some peptides that I think are silly, right?

1020
00:31:50.367 --> 00:31:51.928
There's peptides that will give you a tan.

1021
00:31:52.929 --> 00:31:55.030
Like go outside and lay out.

1022
00:31:55.050 --> 00:32:00.073
Someone just said, just yesterday, someone just took this and got sick.

1023
00:32:00.093 --> 00:32:01.054
Was that you that told me?

1024
00:32:01.314 --> 00:32:02.514
Yeah.

1025
00:32:02.554 --> 00:32:05.296
And they got sick from taking, like, and they're kids.

1026
00:32:05.876 --> 00:32:06.497
They're children.

1027
00:32:06.557 --> 00:32:07.878
The children are trying to dabble.

1028
00:32:08.278 --> 00:32:08.958
Yeah, that's silly.

1029
00:32:08.998 --> 00:32:10.299
A peptide to get you tanned?

1030
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:11.260
Why would you even need it?

1031
00:32:11.280 --> 00:32:11.420
Right.

1032
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:11.880
Right.

1033
00:32:12.895 --> 00:32:34.668
get a spray tan exactly so you just you got to do your research you got to get them from a good resource agree work with somebody that's knowledgeable 100% and that could guide you 100% and don't just inject anything into your body no like you don't if you don't know what it is if you're not sure of it

1034
00:32:35.268 --> 00:32:35.809
Don't do it.

1035
00:32:35.889 --> 00:32:37.971
Just, you know, nothing's going to change overnight.

1036
00:32:38.011 --> 00:32:39.052
Like, do your research.

1037
00:32:39.132 --> 00:32:40.333
Do your research.

1038
00:32:40.373 --> 00:32:41.554
Do your research, for sure.

1039
00:32:41.574 --> 00:32:42.034
For sure.

1040
00:32:42.215 --> 00:32:44.236
And we always say, just consult someone.

1041
00:32:44.256 --> 00:32:47.520
If you're feeling off and if you think you need peptides, you might need them.

1042
00:32:48.080 --> 00:32:50.462
If you think you need BHRT, you may need it.

1043
00:32:50.562 --> 00:32:54.106
The only way to find out is get your labs done and talk to a specialist.

1044
00:32:54.406 --> 00:32:57.829
What are your thoughts on GLP-1s or GLP-2s?

1045
00:32:58.410 --> 00:33:00.712
I mean... Those weight loss peptides.

1046
00:33:01.422 --> 00:33:02.362
I'm not for them.

1047
00:33:02.922 --> 00:33:03.363
I'm not.

1048
00:33:03.583 --> 00:33:08.644
I would rather do it the traditional eating healthy, working out.

1049
00:33:08.724 --> 00:33:12.045
But I do know that some people have issues with losing weight.

1050
00:33:12.125 --> 00:33:13.165
They are eating healthy.

1051
00:33:13.225 --> 00:33:14.126
They are working out.

1052
00:33:14.146 --> 00:33:14.286
Yeah.

1053
00:33:14.306 --> 00:33:15.206
And nothing is working.

1054
00:33:15.766 --> 00:33:19.107
So I do know that there are some instances where people do need them.

1055
00:33:19.347 --> 00:33:21.688
And listen, everyone wants to feel good in their skin.

1056
00:33:22.028 --> 00:33:22.268
I agree.

1057
00:33:22.288 --> 00:33:27.730
Whether they get to it by injecting or if they want to choose our lifestyle route and go, you know.

1058
00:33:28.670 --> 00:33:31.552
Everybody's entitled to their own happiness and to do whatever makes them happy.

1059
00:33:32.092 --> 00:33:34.854
But do I agree with all these peptides?

1060
00:33:35.054 --> 00:33:38.856
I think it's just setting people up for more sickness and illness and disease.

1061
00:33:38.876 --> 00:33:40.457
With the weight loss peptides, you mean.

1062
00:33:40.797 --> 00:33:41.637
Yes, with the weight loss.

1063
00:33:42.438 --> 00:33:46.900
It's something you have to be on for the rest of your life, whether you want to or not.

1064
00:33:47.701 --> 00:33:49.742
So it's got its negatives and it's got its positives.

1065
00:33:49.862 --> 00:33:51.583
If being healthy is...

1066
00:33:52.475 --> 00:33:55.758
is more a priority to you than I would suggest not to do them.

1067
00:33:56.058 --> 00:33:59.781
If being fit and being thin and being skinny fat, because that's what you will be.

1068
00:34:00.141 --> 00:34:02.503
If you're not working out, you're just taking shots, you're going to get skinny fat.

1069
00:34:03.164 --> 00:34:04.005
If that's what you want.

1070
00:34:04.845 --> 00:34:06.006
Yeah, I agree with you.

1071
00:34:07.047 --> 00:34:08.568
I think there's a place for them.

1072
00:34:08.608 --> 00:34:13.552
If you're severely overweight and you need a little help, I think it's a great tool, right?

1073
00:34:13.732 --> 00:34:18.536
Because, you know, like you said, a lot of people just need, like, are trying to eat healthy and they can.

1074
00:34:18.576 --> 00:34:18.957
I think...

1075
00:34:19.668 --> 00:34:27.016
But it needs to be done responsibly with a doctor and you need to lift weights and you need to eat, not like not eat.

1076
00:34:27.456 --> 00:34:28.757
That's well, they're not eating.

1077
00:34:28.938 --> 00:34:30.439
I know.

1078
00:34:30.779 --> 00:34:32.401
But that's not sustainable.

1079
00:34:32.481 --> 00:34:35.244
But it's like, you know, take a dose that you could still eat a little bit.

1080
00:34:35.284 --> 00:34:40.990
You don't have to be on the highest dose you want to eat because what happens when you stop taking it and you eat, you're going to gain all the weight back.

1081
00:34:41.210 --> 00:34:41.650
I agree.

1082
00:34:41.690 --> 00:34:44.372
So I think it's a great tool if done properly.

1083
00:34:44.533 --> 00:34:45.393
If done and guided.

1084
00:34:45.753 --> 00:34:46.154
Yeah.

1085
00:34:46.174 --> 00:34:47.094
Like everything else.

1086
00:34:47.114 --> 00:34:47.295
Yeah.

1087
00:34:47.315 --> 00:34:47.535
Yeah.

1088
00:34:48.015 --> 00:34:53.359
But I do think that if you have not tried the alternate healthy route.

1089
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:54.920
Oh, I agree.

1090
00:34:55.080 --> 00:34:56.281
First try it there.

1091
00:34:56.321 --> 00:34:56.521
Yeah.

1092
00:34:56.541 --> 00:35:00.424
Because that's going, that's obviously going to be your best benefit.

1093
00:35:01.045 --> 00:35:01.265
Yeah.

1094
00:35:01.345 --> 00:35:09.211
If you're talking longevity and that's your priority, living a long, healthy life, the GLP ones are not going to.

1095
00:35:09.231 --> 00:35:09.551
Right.

1096
00:35:09.571 --> 00:35:09.751
Right.

1097
00:35:10.091 --> 00:35:13.653
And listen, there's not enough research and we're not like doctors, so we don't know.

1098
00:35:13.753 --> 00:35:19.776
But my suggestion and advice would be to anybody, try it on your own first.

1099
00:35:20.856 --> 00:35:23.777
Like really try to lose weight and do the healthy way.

1100
00:35:23.797 --> 00:35:26.899
The healthy way, eating, tracking your macros.

1101
00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:27.619
Yes.

1102
00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:31.681
And then if you need a little something with the guidance of a doctor, then maybe you could.

1103
00:35:31.961 --> 00:35:32.201
Yeah.

1104
00:35:32.261 --> 00:35:34.002
But you have to with someone that knows.

1105
00:35:34.382 --> 00:35:34.502
Yeah.

1106
00:35:34.522 --> 00:35:37.964
And that's going to tell you that you have to lift weights because you have to.

1107
00:35:38.244 --> 00:35:38.464
Yeah.

1108
00:35:38.484 --> 00:35:40.185
Or else you lose all your muscle.

1109
00:35:40.245 --> 00:35:45.729
There's also these peptides that help lose weight, but they're not like the ozempics.

1110
00:35:45.749 --> 00:35:50.893
They're like a derivative of – they're like a lesser – did you hear about those?

1111
00:35:50.933 --> 00:35:52.694
Like they might suppress your appetite a little.

1112
00:35:52.714 --> 00:35:53.955
They might help your inflammation.

1113
00:35:53.995 --> 00:35:55.176
There's so many out there.

1114
00:35:55.196 --> 00:35:55.296
Yeah.

1115
00:35:55.316 --> 00:35:56.397
I can't remember the one name.

1116
00:35:56.417 --> 00:36:03.562
It was just – and for me, if I'm already fit and I just want to lose five more pounds, I'm not taking that.

1117
00:36:03.902 --> 00:36:04.903
That's not what I'm doing.

1118
00:36:05.003 --> 00:36:05.143
No.

1119
00:36:05.163 --> 00:36:05.223
No.

1120
00:36:05.763 --> 00:36:05.903
No.

1121
00:36:05.923 --> 00:36:06.804
You're dialing it in.

1122
00:36:06.824 --> 00:36:07.024
Yeah.

1123
00:36:07.464 --> 00:36:07.664
Yeah.

1124
00:36:07.764 --> 00:36:11.227
I'm not going to depend on a shot that I'm going to have to depend on for the rest of my life over five pounds.

1125
00:36:11.647 --> 00:36:11.787
No.

1126
00:36:11.847 --> 00:36:16.370
If I'm severely overweight, very unhealthy, unhappy, I'm going to consider that.

1127
00:36:16.410 --> 00:36:16.630
Yes.

1128
00:36:16.790 --> 00:36:18.712
But like you said, I'm going to try.

1129
00:36:18.732 --> 00:36:20.653
Let me just try to eat healthy.

1130
00:36:20.713 --> 00:36:23.555
Let me try to work out if I haven't already.

1131
00:36:24.135 --> 00:36:28.158
And let me see if that works because chances are when you're being mindful of it.

1132
00:36:28.858 --> 00:36:30.259
And consistent, it will work.

1133
00:36:30.459 --> 00:36:30.639
Yeah.

1134
00:36:30.859 --> 00:36:31.320
It will work.

1135
00:36:31.380 --> 00:36:35.542
And tracking macros, again, because you'll see what you're eating.

1136
00:36:35.562 --> 00:36:35.702
Yeah.

1137
00:36:35.722 --> 00:36:40.786
Like, you could think you're eating 1,500 calories, but if you're not tracking it, you might be eating 2,000.

1138
00:36:40.806 --> 00:36:41.006
Yeah.

1139
00:36:41.046 --> 00:36:41.966
And that's why you're not losing weight.

1140
00:36:41.986 --> 00:36:45.769
And we've spoken in the past about doing, like, being intuitive, you know, tracking.

1141
00:36:46.089 --> 00:36:46.709
We've done this.

1142
00:36:47.130 --> 00:36:47.550
We know.

1143
00:36:47.690 --> 00:36:48.591
We eat the same thing.

1144
00:36:48.611 --> 00:36:48.791
Yeah.

1145
00:36:48.811 --> 00:36:49.051
Yeah.

1146
00:36:49.291 --> 00:36:53.193
It's safe for us to intuitively track when we can't, you know, for on vacation.

1147
00:36:53.854 --> 00:37:00.158
But if you're someone that's not used to this and you think, oh, I only ate a bagel today and a salad.

1148
00:37:00.358 --> 00:37:00.758
But guess what?

1149
00:37:00.778 --> 00:37:03.740
Your salad had a shit ton of dressing and your bagel had butter and cream cheese.

1150
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.100
Guess what?

1151
00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:04.781
You blew your calories.

1152
00:37:04.801 --> 00:37:05.421
For sure.

1153
00:37:05.441 --> 00:37:06.202
You're already done.

1154
00:37:06.302 --> 00:37:06.822
You're done today.

1155
00:37:06.842 --> 00:37:07.402
You can't eat.

1156
00:37:07.442 --> 00:37:08.003
For sure.

1157
00:37:08.623 --> 00:37:13.186
So with all the supplements, like number one, get your labs done first.

1158
00:37:13.206 --> 00:37:13.446
Yes.

1159
00:37:13.886 --> 00:37:14.186
First step.

1160
00:37:14.207 --> 00:37:14.607
Millions.

1161
00:37:15.427 --> 00:37:21.851
That way you'll know what you're deficient in and what you need to supplement, not just buying what's trending on Instagram or TikTok.

1162
00:37:21.971 --> 00:37:22.772
A million percent.

1163
00:37:23.152 --> 00:37:24.033
That's my advice.

1164
00:37:25.534 --> 00:37:28.495
Labs first, then supplement accordingly.

1165
00:37:28.816 --> 00:37:29.216
Absolutely.

1166
00:37:29.336 --> 00:37:30.076
And talk to someone.

1167
00:37:30.237 --> 00:37:30.877
Get your labs.

1168
00:37:31.497 --> 00:37:33.919
And if you want to do peptides, talk to somebody.

1169
00:37:33.999 --> 00:37:34.539
Absolutely.

1170
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.500
Because peptides are not the enemy.

1171
00:37:37.281 --> 00:37:38.922
They're helping us age gracefully.

1172
00:37:39.102 --> 00:37:39.582
Very nice.

1173
00:37:39.682 --> 00:37:40.823
At least we think so.

1174
00:37:41.183 --> 00:37:41.444
I love it.

1175
00:37:41.464 --> 00:37:42.104
Everything we're doing.

1176
00:37:42.204 --> 00:37:43.605
But we're doing it the responsible way.

1177
00:37:43.805 --> 00:37:44.725
Yeah, I agree.

1178
00:37:45.246 --> 00:37:50.108
Well, hopefully you guys found some helpful tips in our peptide hormone talk.

1179
00:37:50.348 --> 00:37:50.608
Yes.

1180
