Jay Campbell
It's an honor to be here, man. As always, I love you guys and grateful to be here for sure.
Adam Schafer
Good time. I love texting Jay. He's my, he's the Peptide King. I call him the Peptide King and he's also one of my favorite people to talk to about everything. You know, cutting edge gray market like because you don't, you're not held back. You'll tell me yeah. And you'll go straight down rabbit holes and just break things down. So I love talking to someone like you because you tend to talk about things that then five, ten years later, people come out and say, hey, you know, this is the deal. Yeah. So let's start with. You hear a lot about mitochondrial health.
Jay Campbell
Sure.
Adam Schafer
You're this in the, you know, quote unquote biohacking you now you're hearing in the wellness space. Take this, do this. This is good for mitochondrial health. This will help your mitochondria. I want to start there with you, Jay. Is this an important place to look? Is this something you should be concerned about your mitochondrial health? And then. And then, if so, why.
Jay Campbell
Yeah. Again, first off, it's an honor to be here, guys. I love you guys. I'm grateful to be here. It's always awesome to talk to you. Happy holidays.
Adam Schafer
Thank you.
Jay Campbell
I know it's been a crazy year for a lot of different people. Hopefully as we get into 2025, things change. You know, hope is in the air. Hope is in the air.
Adam Schafer
Well, we're waiting for the alien invasion.
Jay Campbell
I'm sure that' coming. I got a bunker for that wheel or staged. Right. But yeah. So mitochondrial health. Mitochondrial health. The mitochondria for those. And I go, your audience is super educated. But for people who don't know, the mitochondria, as we learned in I think was 101 biology, are the powerhouse of the cells. Right. So we like, as we age to want to optimize our mitochondrial so that our mitochondrial health is firing on all phases. Right. Like, we have good energy, we feel good about ourselves, we sleep well. And so, yeah, it's become a buzzword now, I think in the biohacking space on like optimizing our bio mitochondria. And there's a lot of ways to do it, right. Like better sleep. You can use red light therapy. You know, I'm a big proponent of medical grade red light therapy. As I've told you in the past, I think that there's a lot of red light devices out there. I don't want to rabbit hole in this, but there's a lot of red light devices out there that are not doing as good a job as some of the other ones. But if you're in a really high quality medical grade red light device and you do it two or three times a week, and some people do it every day if they have like autoimmune disease and stuff like that really is awesome. Again, always getting really good sleep, getting seven to eight hours of sleep a night. But if we go down, like the peptides and the bioregulators and even the supplement space now, we're in a complete golden age. Sal of products that literally you can orally swallow, you can inject, you can put them on your skin, that can help optimize the mitochondria. Now, nothing is going to be optimized mitochondrial if you're not also doing all the things that you guys always talk about, right? Living insulin controlled, eating clean, getting enough sleep, doing proper resistance and cardiovascular exercise. But there's a lot of amazing things in the marketplace.
Adam Schafer
Okay, so let's start with like, let's, let's start with supplements. The one I always hear about that's advertised for mitochondrial health is nad.
Jay Campbell
Sure.
Adam Schafer
So what do you think of NAD supplements? Or do you think it's. Are they waste of time? Is it better to go IV injectable?
Sal Di Stefano
And as we go through these, Jay, tell me, because our audience is very privy to red light therapy. I mean, we've been talking about juve for a very long time and had them on the show. And so as we go through these supplements and you kind of explain to us, like, also give me an idea of like how, how they weigh against each other. You know what I'm saying? Okay.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, no, it's great question. So nad, I literally just did a podcast in Houston yesterday with a big hedge fund guy that wanted to talk about peptides and bioregulators. And we got deep in the rabbit hole on nad. And this is my pet theory. And obviously it's a little bit based on science. NAD is totally relevant to the individual person. Some people can use NAD supplements, IVs, injections, patches, and get AM results, and other people get nothing. And if you do an NAD test and there is an actual test. Dr. Shi, I think you guys know who Dr. Shi is. He's like the Chinese.
Adam Schafer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jay Campbell
So anyway, he's been on my podcast. Really, really smart, awesome guy. You know, he was pushing me for like two years to like, promote his product. And I was like, no, dude, I don't feel it. You know, I've done the patches, I've injected it, I've done the IVs, blah, blah, blah. And I just don't get it. So he's like, well, I want to get you on the, the, the, the test. And I was like, there's a test for nad? He's like, yeah, it's really expensive, but I'll pay for it, blah, blah. We'll do it. So whatever tested, he'll say this, he'll admit it to you. I tested the highest of any person he's ever tested for nad. So he was like, well, makes sense. I'm like, I told you, I never felt it. But my wife, she loves nad, right? She puts the patches on. We have a guy, I Forget his name. Dr. Roy Korth in Columbus who makes his company's called Push Patch. And he sends them to us and she wears them all the time. So the answer to your question is I think NAD is just relevant to a person's individual genetics. I think some people are deficient in NAD just from a coenzyme standpoint or just from molecular standpoint. They just don't have a lot of NAD production. And then others, like me, can use NAD all day and feel nothing. But to your question and comparing it to red light, I think IVs of NAD are great for people who've traveled internationally or who are time deficited or have circadian rhythm dysregulation. I think they're awesome. And you would do them maybe once or twice a month in that capacity. But from a regular standpoint, for people that use them all the time, again, it just depends on if you're naturally deficient in NAD due to lifestyle. The one thing that I will say that I've seen in a great number of people about NAD is like that fatter and more metabolically dysregulated you are, the more you're going to feel NAD optimization or supplementation, because you don't have any NAD naturally. And so when you take a peptide, you guys are familiar with MOT C, right? And you give a heavier, metabolically dysregulated person MOT C. They are all like, whoa, dude, I feel all this energy. I want to go out and exercise. Which is great because we want to get them to exercise, we want to get them to change their habits. But in a leaner, more insulin controlled, more muscular, metabolically fit people like us in this room, we're probably not going to feel it. I had a conversation with Ben Pakulski. I know you guys all love Ben. Shout out to Ben B. Pac about that a couple of years ago. And he was like, you know, I never thought about that. But a lot of my heavier guys that I train or work with, they would always tell me they love it, you know, and I could never really feel it when I was using them on. I was like, well, that's the reason. And so he was like, oh, you know what? That makes a Lot of sense. But there are outliers. There are people that are fit who do use Motsi and do feel well. And I know Seeds loves it. There's a lot of people that love MOT C. But again, I think it just comes down to the individual person.
Sal Di Stefano
This makes so much sense. And especially talking about the NAD and my personal experience, because we've done quite a few. I've done iv, We've done all the push patches.
Jay Campbell
Yeah.
Sal Di Stefano
I actually felt the most from the push patch. Now what? Now, hearing what you're explaining. And so far, almost nothing has. I've really felt. So I've never been a big fan of it. And that makes sense because I'm probably healthier. And the time that I felt the push patch was coming off of being sick.
Jay Campbell
Exactly.
Sal Di Stefano
So that actually I was like, oh, I do feel this. This does feel much better. And my wife, she has used it several times and she loves it. She feels it. But all the other times I'd done it, I've been like, this doesn't really feel like. And when I was so excited to do the iv because I figured that that would be the best.
Adam Schafer
Notice nothing.
Sal Di Stefano
We'd all noticed nothing. We all got hooked up, we did it. We're like, yeah.
Jay Campbell
So NAD and glutathione and an iv when you're depressed, when your nervous system is depressed, like, you know, and if you go out and you. You tie one on or whatever, and you just completely shoot your central nervous system in the foot, you'll feel a lot because again, it's just like upregulating your mitochondria. I mean, it's like a ramjet of energy. But again, for fit people, we just don't notice it.
Sal Di Stefano
It makes so much sense.
Adam Schafer
It reminds me of, like, having a nutrient deficiency and then taking that nutrient. Like vitamin D. Yeah. If you're deficient vitamin D, you take vitamin D, it's life changing. If you don't. If you're not deficient, you're not going to feel anything.
Sal Di Stefano
That's like magnesium. Right. That's how that is for a lot of people, too. That was life changing for me to get my magnesium on point because I was so deficient in it. So that makes a lot.
Adam Schafer
Is NAD or glutathione, for example? I have injectable glutathione and I only use it if I drink alcohol or I do anything that is going to strain or stress my liver.
Jay Campbell
That's exactly.
Adam Schafer
Would that be okay? So would that. That also be a good time to use something like NAD, like this.
Jay Campbell
100%. 100%. Yeah, because it's just going to supercharge and fire them on. That's all it's going to do. And again, if you're heavy and dysregulated and you're starting a, you know, a program, you know, maybe you're somebody in the audience listening to you guys who's not as fit, you know, and wants to get fit. I think it's a great supplement. So we didn't talk about that. We're talking about peptides, injectables and IVs. But there is a supplement. She makes a supplement. And again, I don't promote it. I know you guys don't promote it, but it's a really amazing powder and I forget the name of it or whatever, but it's out there and people can supplement with that. So, I mean, I really do think it's.
Adam Schafer
And does he use a precursor to nad?
Jay Campbell
It's a precursor in his supplement.
Adam Schafer
That's right.
Jay Campbell
It's a powder with it in it. But I think it's a great supplement for people who are not otherwise healthy and probably have some weight to lose to throw in as an adjunct when they're attempting to get fit, because, again, it will give them energy.
Adam Schafer
Technically, whenever somebody asks me about mitochondrial health, I always point to creatine. I always point to creatine because generally speaking, it's extremely safe, increases the amount of ATP which fuels your cells. I said this 10 years ago on our podcast how I predicted that creatine would be the longevity supplement. And now we're starting to see that. What are you seeing with creatine?
Jay Campbell
100% true. It's so crazy we're talking about creatine because today on X, there's a massive Twitter thread going around about creatine. And they're talking because now the tech bros love it for the brain health. Right? So we all know that creatine ATP and helps with glycogen restoration and repletion and all that stuff. But the real benefit of creatine is brain health because so many people are deficient. And, oh, by the way, if you're a vegan, you know, shout out to all of our vegan friends, they're not getting any creatine. No, they feel it the most. Creatine, Right? So you need 5 milligrams at a minimum if you're vegan or if you're just not eating any kind of red meat daily for. To maximize brain health. But there's no question that you can take higher dosages of creatine. It's just again, depending on how fast of a responder you are to it, whether you're going to pee it out or not, you know, because remember back in the old days, they'd be like, oh, it took 25.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
Load you for loading phase. The only thing we loaded up was the pockets of the supplement company that were selling that. You know, you got to put grape.
Adam Schafer
Juice, you know, get your insulin to spike.
Jay Campbell
Lowering chronicles, right? Yeah, 25 grams today and 20.
Adam Schafer
You know what's interesting on that is if you look at the COG, like when they do studies on IQ and creatine. Yeah. Vegans show a boost in IQ from.
Jay Campbell
Taking creatine 100 because they have zero creatine in their diet.
Adam Schafer
Their body has to synthesize it through the amino acids they're consumed, which is probably also low. So they're just not getting enough across. Also helps with methylation. Right. Dr. Seed said probably one of the best supplements because it's a methylated, it's a, it spares the methylation. Methylation process allows it to happen in the place.
Jay Campbell
I think every person to a man or woman should be on 5 milligrams a day. I mean, I mean, I'm sorry, 5 grams a day. You should literally take 5 grams a day. I mean if it's in a supplement, a powder or capsules, I mean again, it really comes down to the person, you know, like hell, anal retentive are you to take supplements, you know, because that's the other thing. And you guys, I don't want to rabbit hole again but like a lot of people just forget to take supplements.
Adam Schafer
That's right.
Jay Campbell
Oh yeah.
Adam Schafer
That's why we think the new trend of the gummy supplements, the gummy kick man is so brilliant because they'll eat them. They'll eat them more likely and they'll take them. Which is the biggest challenge I saw. I read a study once that showed that people are more consistent with giving pets their meds and then, then taking.
Jay Campbell
My wife puts little packets of, when she goes away, she has literally little plastic bags for our too my little rat dog and my pit bull. This is morning and this is night and my two daughters and me. She literally calls us at the end of the day and it's like, did they get their vitamins? Like did you take yours, baby?
Adam Schafer
I, I've, I've, I've said that creatine is probably the best fat burning supplement there is through the indirect process of building muscle. How do you feel about, about positioning in that way?
Jay Campbell
I mean, I think it's great. I mean, I think just the final say all and be all on creatine is get yourself 5 grams of it a day. And if you're not, you're going to be deficient in something and you're not going to have the effects that you get from people that use it.
Adam Schafer
All right, let's go. Okay, let's get, let's get fun now with some of these peptides. I brought up an article, I want to say maybe six months to a year ago on. They said it was the peptide, that it was an exercise mimic. So you take this peptide and what they found in these animal studies was it essentially started causing adaptations in the animals that you would see from exercise, except they weren't exercising. And the result was they had more stamina, more endurance. They saw some fat loss and some, some, some strength gain, some muscle gain. And so that the title of the article was like, you know, exercise in a bottle or something like that. And I brought it up, we talked about it. I'm like, this is so crazy and weird or whatever. Anyway, fast forward six months later, it's out there, I'm texting you and Jay's like, dude, you got to try this.
Jay Campbell
Out if it works on rats.
Adam Schafer
And he sends me and he writes it out and it's this long. It's like SLU P P3 2 or something like that. And I'm like, wait a minute, is this the one that I talked about a while ago? And sure enough, it was all right, what is this? What is this?
Jay Campbell
Okay, so it's everything you just said it is. It's basically an estrogen antagonist slash agonist. And when people hear that, they freak out. They're like, oh, is it going to attach to my receptors and like increase or decrease my estrogen? No, it has nothing to do with that. It basically just helps with. It's another mitochondrial optimizer in the way that it works cellularly. But all the things that you said it does again. So personally, I've been using Sloop now since the end of July. I started with the company that was the first company in the marketplace to have it, which is Amino Asylum, which are some bodybuilding bros in Northern Kentucky, I think, or Lexington, Kentucky, somewhere in that area. And they had a liquid version of it. And then my business partner, Hunter Williams, shout out to Hun. He started using it first and told me. He's like, bro, this is insane. Shit, I'm like, no way. I'm, like, sending some science about it. And so, of course, everybody reads that article that you talked about, because it was done at the University of Florida. And so I started reading. I was like, why is there not more about this in the science? Why is this not out there? Then I looked at the patents database, and it was like, there's like, 11 people that hold the patent to it, and it was from 2014, but there's no supplement. So I'm like, what's going on? So anyway, I started using it on myself, and I was like, oh, my God. I mean. And you definitely notice in the very, very first time that you take it, within 24 hours, you sweat more. So in your cardio or your training, you're gonna sweat more. You're noticeably gonna sweat more. And again, it's energy exchange, right? It's turning on your mitochondrial. And then over time, I mean, again, it sounds like a wonder supplement. And your audience is probably gonna freak out. But for the people in the audience that are using it, because there aren't a lot of people already using it, they're gonna be like, no, he's not.
Adam Schafer
Bullshit. And this is all gray market. You can't get it.
Jay Campbell
Totally gray market.
Adam Schafer
You can't get this from a doctor.
Jay Campbell
It's a research chemical. Okay, thank you. But here's the thing. It patented as an obesogen, so it's technically a medically approved drug. It is not in the market yet.
Sal Di Stefano
So why?
Jay Campbell
Dude, I have no idea.
Sal Di Stefano
You know, that worries me.
Jay Campbell
That's the thing in the studies and again, rat studies, but now we have people studies. We have bodybuilders that have been on this for a year. And I'm talking to them. And there's. I'm telling you, I'm not joking when I say this. It's in the studies with rats. It's kidney protective, it's heart protective. There's been no known side effects in the side effect. The side effects that were known in the rats were literally at a 400 times qualified dose of what people are using right now. And that's even if you were taking 2 milligrams a day. And as you know, like in the bottles and the research chemical companies and the people like I that are selling them, it's 250 micrograms in a capsule. So I've known people now on it, like I said, for six months. Bodybuilders for close to a year, because it was already in the marketplace, evidently in January, which I didn't know who have had no side effects. And every single one of these people had. Had insane physique transformations. Like, I mean, like, literally, bro, bodybuilders who never ever diet, right. Who've lost like 7 to 8% body fat in four months just using 500 micrograms to a thousand.
Adam Schafer
Let's back up for a second. Okay, so you, you were talking about. This increases sweating. It could speed the mentalism. Is this causing, for lack of a better term, inefficiencies with energy? In other words, energy leaks through heat and through. Okay, yes. Is that what we think?
Jay Campbell
So. So, I mean, who knows?
Adam Schafer
I mean, that's a guess.
Jay Campbell
Theoretically, yes. You sweat more. What I can tell you this is there's no elevation of heart rate. It does not disturb sleep at all. Everyone that uses it notices an increased sweating, but they also notice increased firepower. So it's definitely giving you more. And again, mitochondrial. It's supercharging your mitochondria. You can lift more. You can, you have more explosive. Your, your water temperature raise at all? No, it doesn't. It's crazy. Now, some people have noticed. And again, this is more from the fat loss and the sweating. Some people have noticed their HRV might move around a little bit at night when they're really, really tracking it. But that's mostly, again, from the people that I've talked to. That's mostly in people who are not fit. So if you're not as fit. But you see that with people on GLPs, right? Like if they're taking terzepatide.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
It affects if they're taking retatrutide or they're taking semaglutide. Of course it's going to change that. But that's also. And again, Seeds talks about this. Dr. Tennant talks about this. That's because they're losing body fat. Fat. Right. So their, their core metabolism is increasing. So their HRV is going to change. It's going to be, it's going to move around. It's not a bad thing because they're obviously reaching a new set point by losing body.
Adam Schafer
And this was a peptide that they found that was released through exercise. That's how they found this peptide. So this is a byproduct of exercise that seems to be a signaler. Like, okay, you exercise. The peptide now sends. Get sent out telling your body time to adapt type of deal.
Jay Campbell
This is how crazy.
Adam Schafer
That's the theory.
Jay Campbell
We sent out an email today, and again, this is just from a section of people that are in my inner circle and Audience which are obviously in your circle and audience who have been using it. And they're saying it's a bulking peptide too, because again, it's massively allowing for glycogen repletion and it's allowing you to piss out the excess sugar calories that you would have normally stored for probably, or deposited as body fat. So you can take 1500 micrograms, 2 milligrams a day and eat, you know, say a caloric surplus of 1500,000 or whatever it is you're tuning to gain weight. And you probably won't gain that much body fat again. I, in the last month have taken my dosage from I was doing 500 micrograms to 1000. I'm now up to 1500 or 2000, depending on if I'm traveling, if I remember to take my evening dosage and I've gotten stronger, I'm still super lean. My diet has been absolutely shit the last five weeks because I've been traveling back and forth across the country and I don't have my prep meals and just, you know how it is when you're traveling so much.
Adam Schafer
Any other effects? Cognitive. Anything with mood or energy.
Jay Campbell
Energy is insane.
Adam Schafer
Well, you're always hyper.
Jay Campbell
No, no, no, no, no. I mean, yes, I have obviously a very positive, energetic drive through, you know, test therapeutic testosterone and stuff, but I just have more energy at different times of the day. I'm not as tired later in the afternoon. I just. There's a lot of things it's probably doing indirectly that I'm not really countering. And I will also tell you this, it has a sexual effect. So you're definitely more energized when you're in the middle of the deed.
Adam Schafer
So no estrogenic, because it's an antagonist of the estrogen receptor.
Jay Campbell
I've had my blood drawn three times. One because I was in a tracking thing with another person and we were just measuring stuff and then twice just to see if I'd done anything. I've had absolutely zero negative effects. My estrogen has stayed somewhere between 55 and 70, which is where I usually keep it. No, I mean, I've seen, like I said, I've seen nothing. And if anything, and this maybe gets into the GLP conversation, when we get there, all my biomarkers are improving. And I know Dr. Kino was telling you guys that, that she sees that in her patients. Seeds is seeing that in their patients. I mean, we. To just extrapolate. We're kind of like on the frontier of a giant golden age in optimization. Because all these drugs, you know, we're also used to drugs with side effects that are negative, right? Like the big pharma, allopathic, you know, Rockefeller Petroleum district drugs. Now we have GLPs. And all they're doing for people who are otherwise healthy is improving biomarkers, improving hdl, improving lipo, apo, apob, Basically, blood lipids, small particles, all that stuff is improving. I mean, my blood work in the last 12 months since I started using tirzepatide in a microdose, and now retatrutide. I want to go deep on retatrutide, if we can today. It's profound. I sent you that study, right? So they just, just measured retatrutide versus semaglutide versus tirzepatide. And you guys, retatrutide is the most amazing drug in the history of man. It's not even available yet, but it is a lily.
Adam Schafer
Is it a triple agonist?
Jay Campbell
Is it a triple agon.
Sal Di Stefano
Oh, is this the one that at SEAS I was talking about?
Adam Schafer
Yeah. So I was at the Peptide Congress. So I spoke at the Peptide Congress and there was a doctor that went up and talked about.
Sal Di Stefano
I remember when Sal came out of that, you wouldn't listen to it by yourself. And he came out like, so.
Adam Schafer
Oh, my God. Okay, so let me tell you from my standpoint, right? Because from a trainer coach standpoint point, right? I see what's happening with GLP ones. I'm like, okay, oh, it looks like if you just go on one, you eat less, you might. You lose some muscle if you don't let strength train, don't, you know, eat your protein or whatever. I'm like, it's just. I think the effects are just coming from calorie deficit. I said, just making you eat less. So all those effects are coming from a calorie deficit.
Jay Campbell
Boom.
Adam Schafer
They bring up the study controlled, and they're showing this peptide, this GLP1, this triple agonist. And they're like, no, we actually compared them against another group in a calorie deficit. Same calorie deficit, they lost less muscle and more body fat. So it also has this kind of muscle sparing effect. And then when they went off, when everybody went off, they gained weight much slower than the group that.
Jay Campbell
Just not lying when I say this. Retatrutide is a miracle drug. It's anabolic.
Sal Di Stefano
That's crazy.
Jay Campbell
It will change bodybuilding. It will change bodybuilding.
Sal Di Stefano
Catabolic and anabolic at the same time.
Jay Campbell
It literally will change bodybuilding.
Adam Schafer
So what's happening because of the insulin sensitivity.
Jay Campbell
Yes, exactly, exactly. So Jason. Do you guys know Jason Theobald Scooby Health?
Adam Schafer
No.
Sal Di Stefano
No.
Jay Campbell
I'll connect with him. He's awesome. He knows more. You would he. You definitely need to bring him on the show because he can talk at the highest levels about bodybuilding, competitive bodybuilding, and what's really going on behind the scenes. He's like the. He is a master chemist.
Adam Schafer
Are the GLP1s going to the bodybuilding space?
Jay Campbell
Oh my God. They're all bodybuilders using it. So. Dude, so. So he told me. And by the way, his physique is. I mean, he's world class. He just competed in like the Masters. He's like a 51 year old guy and he looks insane. Okay, but he. So I got him to start using retatrutide because he was using a microdose of tirzepatide and he was like, this is incredible. I'm like, bro, you don't know anything yet. I'm like, I'm telling you, retatrutide is anabolic. He's like, bullshit. There's no way he started using it. He's like, fuck. I was like, I don't know how this is anabolic, but you just nailed it, dude. Like, that's why it's improving insulin sensitivity so much that any food that you eat is literally. Choline is literally being converted or helping to build skeletal muscle. It's insane. There's nothing like a lot of people don't realize.
Adam Schafer
It's about insulin. It's actually, some people would argue, the most anabolic hormone.
Jay Campbell
Yes, of course, it's not arguable. It's. It is the most anabolic hormone. That's why bodybuilders use insulin. You know, before workout, after workout, they take 2, 3, 4 IUs of insulin and shuttle glucose into the muscles. But here's the crazy thing. As awesome as rotatrutide is, and by the way, I know this for a fact because I just had a conversation this week with the biggest peptide attorney in the world who doesn't like to have his name used, but he's like involved in all the suits. He represents big pharma, he represents the compounders. And he told me that what is in the pipeline that people don't even know about is going to change everything because there's five stage agonists, there's anti catabolic is the fourth and fifth is. I forget what he told me.
Adam Schafer
Holy cow.
Jay Campbell
No, it's completely world changing. Like you literally will be able to give people these drugs now. And as long as they eat clean, you can turn them into Hulk. I mean, I mean, it's like it won't be believable superhero, but I'm telling you right now, rather true Tide, if it's used correctly, is a superhero metahuman forming product. I mean, you will literally not gain fat. I mean, again, you're not in a caloric deficit or in an appetite suppressive effect as strong as tirzepatite is, but because it's turning on your metabolism, it's making you eat more so fitter, leaner. People who use this in a microdose same way daily or every other day, again, you know, pick how you want to do it, are seeing the most insane physique transformation.
Sal Di Stefano
Sounds like to me, because one of the things I see happening right now is a lot of people that I wouldn't technically recommend a GLP1 or taking GLP ones. I just want to lose a little 5 or 10 pounds, get a little leaner. It sounds like this.
Jay Campbell
This is the drug for that.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah, this is the one.
Jay Campbell
And you guys already know this. It eliminates food noise.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
What we're not talking about that is.
Sal Di Stefano
The trippiest part about.
Jay Campbell
About these drugs, which again, I know seeds and time I've talked about this is the reality that it changes brainwave patterning.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
And as you said, it's permanent. People who come off these drugs again in microdose. This is not talking about people who are, you know, abusing these. And again, and just call it quack doctors who Write scripts of 6 to 8 to 10 to 12 to 15 milligrams of these things a week. I mean, we're talking about. So people know what we're talking about. A microdose of retatrutide is literally like 0.05. I'm sorry, 0.15 to 0.3 milligrams. It's nothing.
Adam Schafer
It's a drop.
Jay Campbell
Exactly. You know, people are always asking, how much water do I put in the vial? You know, it's like, dude, it doesn't matter. Work backwards. Like, what is your dose? Right. You know, it doesn't matter if it's a 5 milligram, 10 milligrams program. But they're so life changing and game changing. And that's what blows me away, is that when people come off of them, they don't have the same bad habits. They don't want to start eating crappy food anymore. Any.
Adam Schafer
Let's do some speculation here, Jay. So because it's affecting, it seems to affect across the board kind of this hedonistic processing of the brain because you are seeing excessive compulsive stuff.
Jay Campbell
Yeah.
Adam Schafer
You are seeing it affect people with alcohol. Alcohol, cigarette smoking, sex addiction. So interesting. Right? It's not just food you're starting, you're hearing lots of reports. I'm not saying other studies going on now about that. Is there any. Let's speculate. Can you see any potential negatives that this may cause issues with pleasure. With pleasure processing with. Who knows?
Jay Campbell
I mean, who knows? It's possible. I mean I would say the negative effects are definitely heightened if you're not living a clean lifestyle when you're taking these drugs. Because again, like you were saying or.
Adam Schafer
So again it's not a panacea. Just take this exactly.
Jay Campbell
Like they think they can get away by abusing food. Still eating too much, you know, oh, I'm not going to eat as much because it won't let me. And so I'll just continue to live like a hedon or eat like crap and blah blah, blah, not live smaller portions. Right. So I think that's where the risk factors are and that's where the Dr. Hyman's and Peter Attia of the world, you know, glom on and say, oh, these drugs are dangerous and blah blah, blah, and they're causing muscle loss. And you said it earlier, if you don't, and I know, I'm sure seeds and Dr. T and I talked about this, but if you don't eat enough protein and you don't deal bone bearing resistance training, you will have muscle loss.
Adam Schafer
That's just anytime you cut your calories.
Jay Campbell
But that's just how profound these drugs are. And when you start getting into the tripe, I mean the three, the triple stage, quadruple stage and even longer bigger agonists, you're going to have even more of that because they're increasing metabolism. When I first started using retatrutide, which was in August of last year, we had no idea how to dose it. It was like the studies in obese insulin resistant people were taking like 6 milligrams a week. So I was like, I'll take. This is a true story, guys. I took three milligrams just to see what would happen.
Adam Schafer
You get nauseous? What happened?
Jay Campbell
No, there's. It doesn't cause nausea, but it. Dude, I'm not kidding you. My appetite went through the roof.
Adam Schafer
You got hungry.
Jay Campbell
Crazy. And then I started telling people, I'm like, there's no Way insulin resistant fat people can take this because they're going to want to eat all the time. But the reality was is the dose was way too high. Was way too high. So I actually kind of threw it off or what we were telling people was like, oh, if you're going to take this, you also have to use Tirzepatide for the appetite suppressing effects. Because we all felt that, we all know what that's like but it was just too high of a dose. And so it's like the typical real big pharma. Right. Like it's start high, go higher. How we make money versus the Dan Duchene. Start low, go slow.
Sal Di Stefano
I actually think that's the biggest. Even the. Of course we know the, the potential muscle loss with the GLP ones if to the point you just made, if you don't work out, you don't need enough protein. But I think the biggest problem is the dosing. You still have these big companies like almost every. We just did a thing. I don't know if you knew this or not, but we took a, a group of 55 people through GLP1. So we did, we did a whole GLP1 course. We, we coached them, we did live zoom calls once a week and it was really interesting to see. And I would say 90 plus percent of anybody with a challenge was the people that were just could not eat because they are taking.
Adam Schafer
Crush their.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Adam Schafer
Their calories are low. They lost their initial 20 pounds or whatever but now they're eating a thousand calories a day. Can't lose any more weight. We actually had to reverse diet people.
Jay Campbell
Yes.
Adam Schafer
In that group quite often to get them to kind of build their.
Sal Di Stefano
And we had to send them back to their doctor because we're not doctors to tell them to lower their dose.
Jay Campbell
Play one on the Internet.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah, but that's what I mean literally what I realized and, and I've had family and friends that have tried it be like oh my God, it was too much for me. I got nauseous. I'm like wait, that's because you started this dose. You should have started with a micro dose.
Jay Campbell
Yes.
Sal Di Stefano
And slowly gone up. And then I bet you any of those issues.
Adam Schafer
By the way, Adam, that's only with the compound pharmacies. When you get the, the prescription.
Sal Di Stefano
That's what I mean.
Adam Schafer
Like the brand name stuff.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Schafer
You click it. Your dose is the ma. The master.
Sal Di Stefano
That's the biggest problem I think. And that's. Those are the biggest companies that are. That's all the Big ones. So I do think the. A lot of the noise that we hear out there of the negative effects are closely correlated with the dosage, of course. And if we actually. If you actually started everybody on a very low dose and slowly cut them up, up, I bet you would eliminate 80% of the negative stuff that you hear about it out there.
Jay Campbell
I'd say 90. And you would have none of the side effects, because if you were coaching them, like you guys were doing with a cohort, they would. They couldn't fail. Yeah, they're eating enough protein, they're training with weights. That's where people fail. And again, I've said this on a number of podcasts, not your guys yet, but this is how. This is why it doesn't work. If you're a fat person and you're metabolically dysregulated and you start on 2 milligrams or 5 milligrams, unfortunately, of, say, semaglutide or tirzepatide, and you stop eating, you see the weight drop off in the first two weeks and you're like, this is a miracle. And so you're so happy and you're so excited, but you don't have us coaching you, and all of a sudden, metabolic adaptation. Three weeks later, your thyroid breaks, you can't process calories anymore. I mean, it's like you're a nightmare. You become metabolic emergency. And then it's like you get, you. You go to the airwaves, or you're a doctor and you tell everybody how shitty it is. And that's what's happened, because so many people were not coached on how to do these. But, Adam, you're 1,000 million percent right. It was always about the dose. And, you know, again, Tim Ferriss, the difference between a pill and a poison is always the dosage.
Adam Schafer
Yeah. You know, you know, along those lines, because when this first. When the GLP1s first started, you know, kind of creating some noise, you had a lot of people in the fitness industry that were panicking, like, oh, why is anybody going to want to work with a trainer? Why is anyone. Now, we think it's the complete opposite, of course. I think this is going to increase the interest in working with a coach or a trainer.
Jay Campbell
Are you seeing that almost mandates it. It almost mandates it. Because if you do not have an intelligent person now coaching you and guiding you, you are headed for catastrophic failure. You guys already know. I mean, you guys have been in this game a long time. I mean, like, if you have thyroid destruction and total like, like metabolic, you know, just call it disruption after that. I mean, these people, they can't lose weight no matter what they do, no matter how far they diet down, how far you lower their calories, how much you reverse diet them. I mean, they've got severe metabolic issues. And so you can avoid that by doing what we're talking about, which is microdosing them and then having them follow the right protocol.
Adam Schafer
What is it? What does it look like in this, in the, in the compounding space with this? Because once this started to explode, I said, oh, they're going to try and figure out how to get the generics off the market so that they can capture. This is a huge, we're talking about potentially the largest revenue producer, period, end of story of all time, because of its effect on obesity, diabetes, maybe its effect on autoimmune issues and other things. But I'm like, you can go to compound, you can go through compound pharmacy and get it for a fraction. What are you seeing on that front? Are they trying to go after them?
Jay Campbell
So it's a good question. As I told you guys, I just talked to one of, of the biggest attorneys in the peptide space and he works for the compounders. He also represents sometimes, you know, individual doctors or clinicians that are, you know, sued based on their prescribing of GLP1s. He doesn't know. He said that right now the peptide space in the compounding space is as clear as mud. That was his. Exactly.
Adam Schafer
Quote, it's like wild, wild west right now.
Jay Campbell
Total wild, wild west. You've got compounders, major compounders, suing the FDA and winning. You've got the FDA attempting, as you guys know, what they did in September of last year. Again, all this happened right after I left you guys. Like, it was like a month and a half later when I saw you guys, they classified 27 peptides as what is, what is considered class two, which means potentially not, not unsafe. Potentially unsafe.
Adam Schafer
BPC was on there. I know.
Sal Di Stefano
How is BBC on there?
Jay Campbell
All of the peptides that actually work that we all know and love were classified in there. And then they've, quote, unquote, I just found this out. I didn't even know. I found this out last week. They've expanded that now where they removed BPC oral capsules and said there's some clinical benefit in that, which is kind of lol, because we all know that injectable BCC works better than that. Yeah, but I don't know. I think the question is, or I think the com The. The comment is, it's. It's to be determined. We definitely know that RFK is talking about PEPC peptides. I mean, that's like his buzzword and all of his tweets. He's like, I want to, you know, withdrawal or roll back some of the FDA's restrictions on peptides and supplements and amino acids and all these things. I mean, I've saved that Twitter quote, you know, it's like on my desktop because I'm like, oh, wow. You know, maybe somebody people like. Yeah. But I mean, who really knows? I just know this. Like, I've said this before, and I'll say it again. The genie is out of the bottle with peptides and bioregulators. You can't restrict them. When there's a will, there's a way. When there's a demand, there's a consumer.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
And there will be people that will find them. And again, like you said, I mean, the research chemical companies. Because I just asked this guy this question, literally. We had this call on Monday, and I said, what was the exact volume of research chemical peptide sales last year in comparison to GLP1s? And he laughed and he said, it's funny you asked me that, because I had to actually do that math. In the entire world, there was over 207. I mean, it's chump change. This is like big pharma, couch seat money. 275 million. All. All told worldwide in research peptide chemical sales in 2023, in. In Manjaro sales alone, it was 5 billion.
Adam Schafer
Just Manjaro.
Jay Campbell
Just Mounjaro Semaglutide is bigger than Manjaro. He doesn't even know that number. So the reality is this, that they don't.
Adam Schafer
They're looking at it like, like, it's like you're. You're not worried.
Jay Campbell
They don't care. Big Pharma is like you said, they want everything in pens. They want everything controlled. They want the compounders to not be able to make the generic, you know, byproducts, because you know what they were doing, right? They were taking tirzepatide and then like changing a signaling molecule and making it tirzepatite. Ha. Or amidate or whatever. Right? So they were like, oh, it doesn't violate the patent, but the Lilly patent attorneys, which obviously makes Manjaro. So they caught onto this, and so they sent cease and desist letters to everybody in the industry. Research chemical companies, like Limitless Peptide Sciences got it, and so did all the compounders. They all got it. And so it was like, if we know or we find out that you're making this and you're violating the quote unquote patent of Manjaro, which owns the marketplace, then we're going to come after you. They haven't come after them yet. They did send the cease and desist letters. Most of the smarter people stopped making, call it generic terz appetite. Because that's the one thing you don't want, Right. If they do come after you, and I've seen this with my friends in the compounding space, if you break a cease and desist and continue to sell it, they'll come after you a second time. But guess what they end up doing? The IRS comes after you. And the IRS figures out how much you sold illegally, not violating the patent, and comes after you for that. So it's like. And believe me, this is how smart the compounders are. I mean, not the compounders, but big pharma is. They know how much is actually in circulation from a raw material standpoint because they own the patent of the materials, so they can calculate how much that individual compound illegally. Yes. Can you imagine?
Adam Schafer
And what you just mentioned, by the way, is interesting with the peptides, because they took BPC and they put the cease and desist out there. And so then what the compound pharmacies did is they created pentadeca organite.
Jay Campbell
Which.
Adam Schafer
Is bpc, with an organine molecule attached to it.
Jay Campbell
And that's what they're all doing. But I'm telling you, Lily, that's what.
Adam Schafer
I'm using right now is pentadepino.
Jay Campbell
Lily has caught on to what people are doing again in the GLP1 space. And if you're trying to sell tirzepatide as a compounder or as a research chemical company, you're definitely. You're walking on hot coals, because it's definitely. It's definitely very risky. Now, again, the high level, the 503B and the 503A and the 503C, compound pharmacies who say, oh, I paid all this money, and, you know, paid, walked all the steps I had to do for the FDA to give me the ability to sell this, they'll still scream and say, I can sell this. And then if you guys remember last year, there was, like, that emergency use case where they ran out of Manjaro, and so they were allowing them to sell.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
But now they've overruled that. That was as of October of this year. So it's like, again, technically, if you're selling tirzepatide and you're a research chemical company or a compounder, you better be selling the format. I mean, the patented format of Manjaro, and you better be doing it through their chain of command. If you're not, you're basically breaking the wall. But who's enforcing it? Right? Again, talk to an attorney, talk to any of the smart attorneys. They're going to say they don't even have at the FDA right now the actual means to enforce because there's so many compounders selling it and so many research chemical companies selling it. I think, guys, honestly, I mean, you know, I think when it comes to shove, I think, think reality is like, don't kill anybody.
Adam Schafer
Yeah, yeah.
Jay Campbell
You know what I mean?
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
Don't kill anybody.
Adam Schafer
Don't be too noisy.
Jay Campbell
And peptides, as we know, don't kill people. You know, there's nothing out there in the peptide space that you could over inject that is gonna kill you. I mean, they just don't do that. They're organic molecules, they're signaling molecules. So, you know, that's what I think most of the people in the compounding and the research chemical space go by is just the reality that, like, hey, we're not gonna kill anybody. And we're mostly helping people.
Adam Schafer
So you just missed something. Why. Why are pep. Why is. Is why are peptides so interesting? And why are they so different from pharmaceuticals or traditional drugs?
Jay Campbell
Yeah, so, I mean, it's very simple answer. They. They absolutely treat the fundamental root cause of whatever is the. The illness, the disease or the dysregulation is versus big pharma medications. When they break down in the system, they're petroleum distillate, they cause side effects, and then those side effects can break down other things in other systems. So you have issues, whereas with peptides, you don't have that. And if we start talking about bioregulators, where it gets really crazy, they're tissue specific, right. So you can take an oral. Which is, by the way, it's so weird. In the United States right now, a bioregulator is a supplement. Grasp, you know, classifies them as a supplement. So there's nothing illegal about selling bioregulators. But.
Adam Schafer
And are they still peptides by all?
Jay Campbell
Yeah, I mean, they're technically peptides, but they're. But they're. They're. You know, the patents are in Russia. It's Dr. Victor Cavinson. And they work a little bit different in that they actually are targeting biological system or organ systems. So it's like There's a peptide, I mean, a bioregulator for the heart. There's a bioregulator for the kidneys. There's a bioregulator for the thymus gland. There's a bioregulator for pretty much every organ or biological system in the body.
Adam Schafer
And so taking those specifically, I was gonna say. So taking a bioregulator gets that organ to operate better.
Jay Campbell
Exactly.
Adam Schafer
Okay.
Jay Campbell
It's optimizing all the organs itself. So if you're an aging man or a woman, like my wife right now, like, is doing an ovary bioregulator, and you know, she's 53 and going through perimenopause like all 53 year old women, but she's like in her 20s, you know what I'm saying? And that's because of that. And she's talking to a lot of different women that are in their 50s and stuff that are using these two. And they're all having the same effect. So they're really positive and I would say even mind boggling. But we don't even know yet in the United States, like, how profound they could be because there's almost no one using them. And even more so, you know, being the science guy that you are, there's very little information unless you can read Russian manuals and Russian peer review, because they've been used in Russia for 65 years.
Adam Schafer
65?
Sal Di Stefano
That long?
Jay Campbell
65 years since like the 40s. Yes.
Adam Schafer
You know, they remind me of glanular. They remind me, like, remember, glandular will sell that way.
Jay Campbell
Right?
Adam Schafer
Like, this is for the thymus, but this is different.
Jay Campbell
These are incredible. I mean, like I tell guys, like, if you're 45 or older, you should be taking libidon, which is the prostate bioregulator, and doing two 10 day courses a year, because it literally goes to work shrinking the prostate gland. It's incredible.
Adam Schafer
Have you tried it?
Jay Campbell
I have, yes. And absolutely. So I'm very open about this. I've had a prostate issue. My PSA is like negligible. But I've opened, always had, where I'd have to wake up at least once to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and sometimes twice since I started taking that. It's once and sometimes none. Okay, so it definitely is working on shrinking the prostate gland, but again, and you guys aren't this old yet, but once you're in your 50s and you're a man, you're dealing with prostate hypertrophy. It's impossible to go away with it. It's 100% universal. So it's like if you're waking up two or three times, the piss in the middle of the night versus one that's going to disturb your sleep. So it's a big issue. So these things have a lot of therapeutic benefit when used correctly. And the craziest part about them is there's other ones that I'm finding out, you know, that the Russians haven't even brought into the United States market. So there's like three or four different bioregulators for the prostate. But the one that we all know about that's flooding the United States market is called Libadon. And I've used it. I've used it like, I've done four courses of it in two years.
Adam Schafer
Have you. What about. Have you tried any other bioregulates?
Jay Campbell
I have, so I've used like six of them. Pinealon, which is for the pineal gland. Dude, what are you supposed to get from that is insane.
Adam Schafer
Yeah, yeah. So what do you.
Jay Campbell
If you're a meditator or you get deep, you know, into stillness or silence, or you just like to sit in nature with, you know, nothing going on, man, you can get into the zone way faster on regulator.
Adam Schafer
Wait, speaking of the pineal gland, we just. This makes me laugh because conspiracy theorists are like 100 now. Yes. They just came out and said, oh, yeah, fluoride lowers people's IQs. Did it really build up on the in. Does it really calcify or build up in the pineal gland?
Jay Campbell
I mean, I would say that it does. I don't know how hard would be very difficult to scientifically prove it. But I definitely know that using fluoride based toothpaste or fluoride based rinses or something like that definitely dumps people down. There's a lot of hidden studies that have been going on since like the 20s and 30s that of course, obviously big pharma and the medical establishment suppression. But I mean, you guys already know this because we don't do this. But I mean, like, if you're somebody that doesn't have the resources to drink like filtered water or bottled water or whatever it is, like, and you're drinking water out of a tap out of a major city, you're definitely behind the eight ball. Right? And I would say. I mean, I would say there's other ways they have, you know, in doing this. It's not really conspiracy theory because there's science out there. It's just suppressed. You can't find it. But I would say that it definitely slows. It delays reaction, it delays timing. I think a lot of. And again, I mean, it makes sense, right? Like poverty stricken people or people, you know, in lower socioeconomic conditions, you know, have to drink water out of the sink. And I, I mean, there's reasons why they don't do as well as people who don't drink water out of the sink. You know, so there's a lot in there.
Adam Schafer
Why did they put the fluoride in the first place? Was it a great easy way to get rid of it?
Jay Campbell
No, it's. No, no, no. I mean, dude, there's a lot of stories about like, how it improved bruise tooth enamel.
Adam Schafer
Yeah. So they just.
Jay Campbell
That was the big selling point, was.
Adam Schafer
Everybody should take it.
Jay Campbell
Yeah. I mean, there's, there's a massive study that was just released that obviously that now isn't making it illegal to have fluoride, you know, in a lot of different states and states are passing stuff. But I mean, if you look deep into that research, you'll see that it definitely is dumbing people down. It's doing a lot of crazy stuff.
Adam Schafer
Yeah, the data came out of that.
Jay Campbell
I mean, we had lead everywhere too, they had to get rid of. And the, the whole like in gasoline, they, they found that like it was.
Adam Schafer
Dumbing down society unleaded. All right, so let's, let's talk about. We're now what, four years past the, the height of COVID Looking back now, we could see just all the insanity that happened last time I looked. I think only 12 or 16 of people now get the COVID vaccine. Everybody's like, yeah, I don't want to touch that type of deal.
Jay Campbell
Yeah.
Adam Schafer
Are there things people can do or take after they've gotten the vaccine? They got it and they're like, you know, I might notice some issues or whatever.
Jay Campbell
Yes.
Adam Schafer
Are there things they can do to heal injuries from it?
Jay Campbell
Yeah. No. 100%. So the number one thing a person can do who's been pro multiple, let's just call it multi V and multi bead is start living insulin controlled. Right. Because the spike protein, which is again scientifically evident now, does leech. It does cause cellular damage. It does cause potential autoimmune disease. So what's really happening and what we're seeing is you guys all know this like, America is obese. America is unhealthy. America is insulin resistant. The vax just makes all of those things amplified. So if you're not changing your habits, you're not listening to mind pump, you're not listening to Jay Campbell. You're not living insulin controlled, you're not exercising, you're not doing resistance training, you're not eating enough protein, blah, blah, blah. You're not using GLP1 peptides. Hopefully if you have fat loss problems, the vax, if you got it, is just making your life even worse. So how you can heal yourself is obviously first off, become insulin sensitive. Start living insulin controlled. I think when I say live insulin controlled, I think people sometimes j. What does that mean, Jay? It means regulate your carbohydrate consumption, right? Stop eating refined foods. You know, HFCS shit that's in boxes. That which is again, the average American eats all the time, right? Seed oils, all the things you guys talk about in all your stuff, that's what you have to do. And then if you really want to get dialed in in particulate, you can add a GLP1 peptide, you can microdose it, you can get hormonally optimized, you can start using therapeutic testosterone. I mean, I always tell people this now, if you've been vaxxed and you're not on testosterone, you probably have a hormonal deficiency or dysregulation because. Because that is causing that because it's also leading to insulin resistance and obesity. So check your hormones, you know, make sure you're looking at whether or not you have a hormone deficiency. I mean, you guys, I. I think it's pretty obvious now. You know, go to any airport. I mean, we guys like us, we live in our own cocoons and our own echo chambers of other fit, healthy people, right? So it's like, you know, we're talking to entrepreneur, grind and hustle, and all of us are like, fit and exercising and doing all these things. But like, when you go out into the real world world and you look around and again, I always say go to the airport, right? It's like it's bad out there. Yesterday. Not yesterday. What day was it? Monday. When I flew from Tampa to Houston for that podcast, there were two people that were sitting in front of me and they were not much older than me. And it was a. It was definitely a husband and wife. And they. I'm not kidding you, I didn't time this, but there was a. They were sitting aisle center, and then a young girl who was not with them was sitting in the bathroom in the window and she had to go to the bathroom. It took them six minutes to get up out of the seat for this girl to cross over. But that is the average American today. They're so bad off. It's just bad. And again, I know I don't want to judge or condemn them, but it's like take that, that poor health, that kind of not training, not exercising, not eating right and then give them three shots and a couple of bees and you wonder what's going on. But it's not a death sentence to have the vax. You know, we've created, you know, my email list and you know, inside we have a anti V protocol of peptides and bioregulators and supplements you can take. There's a lot of things you can do. You can take nattokinase. You know, nattokinase really helps with leaching the spike protein out of the cells. It improves vascular function. I mean, you know, about SS31, you know, there's VIP, there's a ton of stuff LL37, there's a ton of amazing peptides that strengthen immunity, thymus and alpha one. There's so many great things that you can use. But I would always say that again, those are just really the tip of the iceberg. It's lifestyle change for us.
Adam Schafer
Always.
Jay Campbell
It's always lifestyle change. But again, a lot of these people, and this is what they'll tell you when you talk to them, they have no energy and is it due to the vax or is it due to their poor lifestyle or is it a combination of both?
Sal Di Stefano
Hard to get that momentum going when you're like that, you know.
Adam Schafer
Yeah. What do you, what do you see on the, on the forefront when in the peptide space? Anything getting you excited?
Jay Campbell
Dude, there's, I mean again, the, the GLPs with the four and five stage agonist peptides.
Adam Schafer
It makes sense that they're going to go anti catabolic or focus that because the, because of the negative. Yeah, yeah. Do you think any myostatin inhibiting compounds.
Jay Campbell
That's what it is.
Adam Schafer
Really?
Jay Campbell
Yeah. So it's a very advanced, it's like, so it's follow statin myostatin inhibiting. So there's another guy that I should probably get on your guys podcast and maybe he's already been on. You guys know Dr. Dan Stickler from Stanford?
Sal Di Stefano
That name sounds familiar.
Jay Campbell
So he runs the big performance lab in Austin. It's called Epyiron. So he's amazing. Like, I mean that's a doctor to bring on your show because his knowledge is like at a different level. But like he's talking about plasmapheresis. So they're using plasma injections with myostatin inhibiting peptides or Small molecules, along with, what is it? Follistatin. And he's talking about like earth changing stuff. Like literally taking a normal, not fit, but not fat or morbidly obese person and giving them these injections and literally adding 8 to 10 pounds of skeletal mass in two weeks. Real skeletal mass without transcription or side effects or anything like that. So, so like I said, we're on the verge of a golden age. It's just a matter of, I think, whether or not we blow ourselves up or not. You know what I mean? Because that's the one question. Does World War 3 happen or does the United States go into a civil war? I don't know. I just see all this amazing stuff that's happening in the biohacking or biological or whatever you want to call it, the new medical or new biomedical world. And it's just amazing.
Adam Schafer
Do you ever communicate to your audience about just the value of, of the struggle of going down that path? Because we often get this question asked to us it's like if a miracle pill existed, which it doesn't, but if it did, do you guys think that would solve a lot of our problems? I say, well, no, it could solve some of your fitness physical issues. But so much comes from just the process of the struggle and the waking up and the workout and the. I gotta develop a different relate. Do you ever talk to your audience about that? Because that, that's a big, that's a big thing that I think, you know, I think if I just snap my fingers and got people, it'd be like winning the lottery. I mean, how many of those lottery winners end up going bankrupt?
Jay Campbell
Almost all of them. Yeah, Well, I mean, 100. I think it's a really important topic of conversation because the process is everything. I mean, like, they've always sold us, right? It's not about the end game. It's the journey. It's, it's, it's like the process or the ride along is like the value, you know, like, you know, we go spiritual for here for a second. Like, like, you know, I like to think that all of us are so much more than our bodies. You know, we're these soul energies, these spiritual beings, our higher selves, whatever you want to call it. And it's like there's so much more, but being here, you have to realize that part of the process is evolving and growing through the contrast, right? So it's like if we had a pill or a super GLP1 peptide that like made you not have to work out, then what fun Would that be right? Because the grind is part of the process, right? Getting out there and training and lifting and eating right and doing all these things to see the benefit that comes over time. That's the real value. And if you didn't do that, then, like, what would you really be learning?
Adam Schafer
Well, the other side of me also, just to play devil's advocate, I wonder if it would actually get more people to go on the journey. I've seen more people start exercising who hated it and would never work out because they wanted a glp. One lost some weight.
Jay Campbell
I agree.
Adam Schafer
And all of a sudden they're like, you know what? I'm going to start going to the gym. I know several people like that.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I agree that it's, it's an adjective. It's profound. But I still think, I mean, look, those people probably, though, have good influences in their life. They have one of us surrounding them or coaching them or counseling them. So they understand. Right. But for the people that don't have any of that, I would still say that even if you gave them that, you know, limitless pill, they would default to bad habits. And, and, and let's say this, and this is incredibly worthy. I mean, important. And you guys know this. Until a person finds themselves worthy of making the change, they're going to default.
Adam Schafer
Of course.
Jay Campbell
Yeah. They're going to go back. And so that's why so many bodybuilders, right? Like, because we all know all of us have a mild form of muscle dysmorphia. That's just who we are, right? Like, we want to be bigger, we want to be leaner, we want to be better. But it's like if you can't eventually get to a place where we. When you look in the mirror, you find value in who you are and you're like, you know what? I got this. I feel good about myself. You're not going to be healthy. You're going to abuse drugs, whatever it is, you know, whether it's pills or steroids or whatever, but you're always going to be doing something to feel high versus just doing something to be like, hey, man, I love who I am.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I've been out of the bodybuilding circuit now for well over five, six years now. And so I'm not as privy to, like, what's the latest stack and what people are doing. Like, this whole peptide wave really hadn't come when I was doing it.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, no, I understand.
Sal Di Stefano
But all of it makes it so interesting to me. Like God, what would I have used during this time during my cut? Like what are you privy to? Like some of the common stacks and how.
Jay Campbell
How bodybuilders I just knew is going to go.
Sal Di Stefano
I'm just so curious how. I mean the G. I could imagine.
Adam Schafer
The one pre contest would be like.
Sal Di Stefano
I mean because one of the hardest parts and I. I've talked. I talked about this on my little journey that I just went through of documenting everything.
Jay Campbell
How much body fat did you.
Sal Di Stefano
So I'm. I'm down 10. So I'm down. I put on 23 pounds of muscle and lost about six pounds of fat.
Jay Campbell
Unreal.
Sal Di Stefano
So it's been a cool.
Jay Campbell
You're not using a glp?
Sal Di Stefano
No, no. I came off of it. So I use. So part of why I gained so much of that back was previously I took a GLP one. I took Tirzepatide, but I did it.
Jay Campbell
Notice how he said trend zip.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Adam Schafer
Let's just slip.
Sal Di Stefano
Freudian slip there did not take turns at times. Jay Jay was not that. But the. The experiment and why I did it and documented for the audience was actually I wanted to remove my trainer brain and I wanted to just eat like what I thought a normal person was.
Jay Campbell
Sure.
Sal Di Stefano
So as it crushed the appetite, I would let it do its course if I didn't feel like working out because I was so tired. I didn't work out if I knew I was way behind on protein just because I knew I wouldn't go do it unless I felt hungry and I lost a ton of weight. You know, I lost 30 pounds.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, no, I saw it. Yeah, amazing.
Sal Di Stefano
And so I dropped all that weight. But I had lost a lot of muscle too. And so then I came off of it and then it was here's my journey to come back. So you watch me come build it. Build it back with now this is my trainer brain adding protein, being consistent and everything like that. That. But anyways, going through the GLP1 process originally I thought, man, one of the hardest parts of getting super shredded is just learning to be comfortable with being hungry. Not a lot of people can do that. And that's what you see is these people that have this ability to get down to 3 or 4% body fat. You have to learn to get comfortable of feeling hungry.
Jay Campbell
So that's where it changes. To answer your question, Red a true tide eliminates the hunger.
Sal Di Stefano
So okay, that's what we're not bodybuilders.
Adam Schafer
You know, it's pro pre contest.
Jay Campbell
That's literally where we're at and that's why, you know, I'll definitely connect you guys with Jason because he'll be a world of amazing knowledge and stuff and you guys can get deep down that rabbit hole. But he's like. Yeah, he's like that whole like starving, struggling.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
You know, tilapia and broccoli and white rice. You know, like, you don't have to do that anymore. You know, like, you can literally get into 4, 5, 6% body fat and live like a normal life. I mean, you're sure you're still going to be in a deficit, right? And you're going to be doing your cardio, you're going to be lifting and doing all that stuff, but you're don't, you don't have to suffer.
Sal Di Stefano
No. So one of the things, I mean, when you get to that level of the body fat percentage and depleting like that naturally without near death.
Jay Campbell
Oh, yeah.
Sal Di Stefano
And you're. And you're also. I'm dreaming about food between meals. I'm thinking about the next meal. I'm chewing gum and just want to.
Jay Campbell
Eat that one piece.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah. I mean, that's how. I mean, you just have to, in order to get to that level of lean, you have to learn to get comfortable with that. But then I remember what it was like to be on the JLP one where it's like, I didn't even think about food. Never even.
Jay Campbell
And that's why we're in a totally new frontier. But to what you were saying, like, what is new? I mean, there's so much new. I mean, I mean, I think we have to mention dht. Right? So, so dihydrotestosterone. Everybody in the clinical space knows that DHT is like 10 times more anabolic than testosterone. But in the science, you know, up until, let's say in the last couple of years, they just didn't understand that there was a way to actually, you know, formulate dihydrotestosterone in an oil based solution. Now there have been guys in the last 10 years internationally making gels of DHT in like a super, really low dose. And they were literally giving, I'm not kidding you, they were giving them to men like in the international community and Asia and stuff like that as fertility control. So you could literally like keep a guy suppressed so he couldn't get pregnant by using a tiny microdose of dht. But now there are guys out there in the underground space that are formulating DHT formulations combined with testosterone and that is a game changer.
Sal Di Stefano
Really?
Jay Campbell
So you basically, you know to just go off the rabbit, go down a rabbit hole for a second. Like nobody really knows yet, they're still looking at it. But it's like it's probably like 1/7 to 1/9 of DHT. The testosterone is the perfect anabolic blend. And what I mean by that is you won't crush estrogen. So most.
Adam Schafer
Because DHC is anti estrogenic.
Jay Campbell
Exactly. Most. Most anabolic drugs, as you guys know from, you know, our friends that are bodybuilders and stuff like that, they have side effects when they're abused at higher dosages and then they all massively create issues with estrogen production and suppression eventually like almost all anabolics, if you take too high of a dose for too long a time, will literally crush your estrogen. And then as you know with crushed estrogen you have no sex drive, you feel like a eunuch, you hurt, your libido is gone, your mental energy is gone. Yes, exactly. I mean you might be a fucking cyborg, right? You look amazing but you have like nothing going on, right? So like there's guys out there, really, really smart guys now that are like making blends of DHT and testosterone that would be the perfect anabolic. So imagine having the anabolic effects and growth effects of like a tren acetate or a trend anethate with a DHT testosterone blend that caused no side effects. That's where we're going. So there's a lot of crazy stuff that's in the marketplace. I mean obviously if we start talking about, you know, GLPs and anti catabolic and stuff like that. Like I, I mean like you said dude, like a four and five stage agonist. I can't even imagine what that does to the, to the physique transformation.
Sal Di Stefano
So okay, so what are some of the. I'm on a typical year of bodybuilding for me is you have your, you know, off season where we are increasing calories, packing on muscle. So give me some ideas of things I would be dead or newer on the newer age that I'm taking. Peptide wise I already know, I know testosterone and hormone wise what I'd be doing. But okay, what am I taking to, to gain? And then when I transition over, okay, now it's prep time, time to cut, time to lean out. What are the like kind of most popular ones?
Jay Campbell
So I mean for sure in bulking phase you're going to have obviously a higher dose of testosterone. You're going to have a Tessamorelin or an Ipamorelin in A high dose or, you know, obviously, if you don't, well, we got to say it. A growth hormone is now readily accessible, right? And good growth hormone, like pharmaceutical quality growth hormone that comes in a pen, not the bro Chinese growth hormone. You know, green tops, blue tops, yellow. Hey, bro, I got hugitropin or hydrotropin, you know, I mean, all that shit is gone. You can now get it readily available. So I would say in ain a growth phase for sure. Testosterone and a growth hormone or a growth hormone agonist peptide, like Tessamorelin or Ipamorelin, you know, high calories. You know, some guys might want to use, you know, an anabolic steroid like a deca Darabalin or something like that, or even ecto alcopois or something like that. That's still old school, but they're definitely using GLPs now year round, you know, so if, like, if you're gonna use. If you're gonna massively eat, right, like, you're gonna be eating 45 to 6, 000 calories a day because you want to gain, say, 1012, which is where.
Sal Di Stefano
I would be at what I'm trying to.
Jay Campbell
Exactly. You're going to use a microdose of retatrutide because the retatrutide is going to process the calories way more efficiently. You're going to be able to absorb and handle those calories. Calories way more efficiently. And as I was telling you, dude, and you guys will see this, when you use it, it doesn't kill your appetite at all. Now, if you took way too much, maybe, but what you notice is just enhanced metabolism faster. It does so many crazy things, you guys. I'm not kidding you. Like, it actually makes your bowel movements, like, drier and cleaner. Like, you don't even have to wipe.
Adam Schafer
Justin, did you hear that? Justin?
Jay Campbell
Dude, I'm literally not kidding you. It is such a profound drug. So many metabolic positive things. That's a commercial right there.
Sal Di Stefano
You don't even have to wipe anymore.
Jay Campbell
You're like, what's going on?
Adam Schafer
But all of our wives are like, huh, let's get this for our husband.
Jay Campbell
You're definitely going to be using a microdose. And then I would say, what else would you take? Sloop. You want to use Sloop? You definitely want to use SS31. You already know that SS31amplifies androgen receptors, turns on Android receptors a little bit more. I think you could probably use. Depending on how hard you're training or heavy you're training, you probably use a little micro dose of BPC and TB500. Okay. You know, just for recovery.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
Especially again, if you're older. You know, joint fragility and stuff like that. You probably want that. And then when, when I'm shifting, when I'm gonna shift to the summer and, you know, the shredding time, I'm gonna stay on Retitru Tot, I'm probably. I'm probably gonna maybe go up a little tiny bit, and I'm probably honestly going crazy enough. I'm going to incorporate more fasting because again, it makes fasting a lot easier. And you already know that the fasting, the benefits of fasting from autophagy, getting rid of senescent cells, the hormetic principles behind it, that's going to help you. I would just say this. A bodybuilder today versus a bodybuilder five to ten years ago can stay way healthier. Way healthier. Maintain biomarkers, you know, not have horrible A1C levels, because that's what you'll get when Jason comes on. If you guys bring him on, you guys will love him. Talking about, like, what bodybuilders, like, how bad bodybuilders abuse their A1C levels, especially guys that are slamming calories, you know, gaining 30 or 40 pounds in their. In their winter season. He's like, how unhealthy it is. You know, it's so bad. And he's like, now with glps, you can avoid all of that. You know, he's like, trust me, I. I'm doing it. You know, I'm coaching people that are doing this. And by the way, you know, I'll send you guys his stuff and you can look at, like, a lot of his bodybuilders and you can see their transformations. But I mean, dude, it's. I mean, GLPs have changed the game. They have just completely changed the game. The conditioning of bodybuilders now who know what they're doing, which, you know, I don't know what that percentage is, but let's just say it's 5 to 6% of bodybuilders, like, on, you know, at a competitive level. I mean, their physiques don't go from that, like, dramatic, you know, boiler to being shredded anymore, because they don't have to. They're just gaining 8 to 10 pounds of mass like, every winter season, and they don't even really get fat.
Sal Di Stefano
That's awesome.
Adam Schafer
That's wild.
Jay Campbell
Yeah.
Adam Schafer
So, Jay, right now, what do you do most for. For business? Do you coach mostly or And I obviously I love your content online. I think you have some of the best articles. I said this to you last time you're on the show. If you want to read about peptides, the science behind them and you want to be able to understand it, like Jay really breaks it down very easy. Some of the best content. But what's your main business?
Jay Campbell
Yeah, so right now I'm partnered in a new company. It's not new, it's been out for two months. It's called Bio Longevity Labs. And within 12 to 15 months we plan on becoming the biggest bioregulator selling and research peptide selling company in the world. Now check this out. We're going to have our peptides in pens. So all of our peptides will be in just like the Manjaro pens or the growth hormone pens. So it's going to be, it's going to be manufactured actually in a peptide manufacturing facility here in California. So as you know, that's the most the FDA registered sterility control process and it'll also be GMP compliant. So it'll essentially be almost a compound pharmacy without the compound pharmacy regulations that the FDA approves. So it's going to be really close to tell the difference. There probably won't be much of a difference. And again, our goal is to basically, you know, essentially get more people around the world on bioregulators. But also. So I have a large private membership group which you guys have helped to fill up. It's got about 650 people in it now. And all those people pay anywhere from like $99 a month to 249 a quarter. I sell, you know, I have eight courses, nine courses now, which also do very, very well. And then obviously I'm like one of the biggest affiliate sales people in the world for like various companies and stuff like that. So my business is amazing. And again, you guys helped me so much last year. You really blew my brand up. So I'm always, always eternally grateful to you guys. But yeah, I mean I, I honestly think that Bio Longevity Labs is going to become a centerpiece for people finding out about bioregulators and then depending on how much the FDA changes things again, if RFK does what he says he's going to do, it might actually even become an option for clinicians to purchase.
Adam Schafer
So move out of gray market into the real.
Jay Campbell
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it'll really move out. Like it'll technically probably still be gray market. It just depends on how much rest restrictions are Removed in the fda. Because at the end of the day, guys, right now, and I know you guys know this because your deal with Transcend, there are literally hundreds of thousands of doctors that are buying peptides from research chemical companies. And then are they really? Oh, dude. I mean, I know all of them for the most part. You know, it's like, I laugh because I'm like, look, I can't advocate you do this, you know, you're definitely not, quote, unquote, above board by doing this. But then they come to me and they're like, dude, I'm not paying X. That's 15X when my client or my patient can't afford it.
Sal Di Stefano
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
You know what I mean? And this is a way that they can afford it. So it's a tough deal, right? Because like, in between, you want to help as many people as you can. Right. As a doctor, you take an oath, do no harm. Right. But at the same time, like, some of these people can't afford it. I mean, what you were saying, Sal, at the very beginning of the show, if Lily has their way, I mean, imagine how bad they're going to make it. They're going to jack the prices to the point where who can even afford. Afford a GLP1 peptide.
Adam Schafer
Yeah.
Jay Campbell
So thankfully there's people out there like me and obviously there's a lot of other ones that are saying, oh, no, you know, let's teach people how to do these themselves. Yeah, there's a little bit more risk involved, but who cares, you know, because now it makes it more affordable to the average Joe.
Adam Schafer
Yeah, yeah. Good deal. Well, you're my guy. I call you whenever I want to know, like the real deal.
Jay Campbell
The latest.
Adam Schafer
I send this guy a text, he responds within three minutes. Oh, cool.
Sal Di Stefano
With all the details and a step link to it.
Jay Campbell
Oh, yeah.
Adam Schafer
Oh, yeah. Good times.
Jay Campbell
Not always a study. Personal experience.
Adam Schafer
Yeah. Jay, I appreciate you coming on the show again.
Jay Campbell
I appreciate all you guys all love.
Sal Di Stefano
Looking forward to Friday, all of us hanging out together at the party. So always a good time.
Jay Campbell
Thank you.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth - Episode 2500 Summary
Episode Title: Weird Performance Enhancing Supplements That Work with Jay Campbell
Release Date: December 30, 2024
In this landmark 2500th episode of Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth, hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews welcome back Jay Campbell, renowned as the "Peptide King." Drawing upon his extensive knowledge of performance-enhancing supplements and gray market products, Jay delves deep into the cutting-edge advancements transforming the fitness and wellness landscape.
Adam Schafer kicks off the discussion by highlighting Jay's expertise:
Adam Schafer [02:25]: "Jay, you're the king of all the performance enhancing supplements and iffy gray market products that are out there. This guy knows his stuff."
Jay Campbell expresses his gratitude for being on the show:
Jay Campbell [02:08]: "It's an honor to be here, man. As always, I love you guys and am grateful to be here for sure."
The conversation begins with the significance of mitochondrial health, a burgeoning topic in the biohacking community.
Jay Campbell [03:08]: "The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells. As we age, we want to optimize our mitochondria so that they're firing on all cylinders—good energy, better sleep, overall well-being."
Jay emphasizes comprehensive strategies for mitochondrial optimization, including quality sleep, red light therapy, and the use of advanced supplements.
The hosts explore the efficacy of NAD+ supplements in enhancing mitochondrial function.
Jay Campbell [05:28]: "NAD is totally relevant to the individual person. Some people can use NAD supplements, IVs, injections, patches, and get amazing results, while others feel nothing."
Jay recounts his personal experiences and experiments with NAD+, highlighting its variable impact based on individual genetics and existing deficiencies.
Jay Campbell [06:03]: "I tested the highest NAD levels of any person he's ever tested for, but I never felt it. However, my wife loves NAD patches and notices significant benefits."
Transitioning to established supplements, the discussion turns to creatine, a staple in the fitness industry.
Jay Campbell [11:23]: "Creatine is extremely safe and increases ATP, which fuels your cells. It's becoming recognized as a longevity supplement, especially for brain health."
Adam Schafer adds his perspective on creatine's dual benefits:
Adam Schafer [10:59]: "I always point to creatine because it's extremely safe and increases the amount of ATP which fuels your cells."
Jay agrees, advocating a daily intake of 5 grams to address deficiencies and maximize benefits, especially for vegans.
The episode ventures into the realm of peptides, focusing on novel compounds like SLU P P3 2.
Jay Campbell [14:54]: "SLU P P3 2 is essentially an estrogen antagonist/agonist that helps optimize mitochondria at the cellular level, acting as an exercise mimetic."
Jay shares his personal trial with SLU P P3 2, noting immediate effects such as increased sweating and enhanced energy levels without disrupting heart rate or sleep.
Jay Campbell [16:38]: "After using SLU P P3 2 for six months, bodybuilders I've spoken to have experienced phenomenal physique transformations without known side effects."
A significant portion of the discussion centers on GLP1 peptides, particularly Retatrutide, and their transformative impact on bodybuilding.
Jay Campbell [23:40]: "Retatrutide is a miracle drug. It's anabolic and will change bodybuilding by improving insulin sensitivity, allowing efficient calorie processing without fat gain."
Jay elaborates on Retatrutide's ability to preserve muscle mass while promoting fat loss, making it a game-changer for athletes seeking leaner physiques without the typical muscle degradation associated with weight loss.
Jay Campbell [24:17]: "With Retatrutide, you can bulk up without gaining unwanted fat, thanks to its profound metabolic effects."
The conversation shifts to bioregulators, peptides designed to target specific organs to enhance their function.
