Haas break down Will's top 5 fat burners, JD's real-world stacks for a 47-year-old man needing to lose 70 pounds, a menopause protocol, and what a 21-year-old athlete should actually be taking.We cover:🔥 Will's Top 5 Fat Burners (in order)– Retatrutide: triple agonist GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. The undisputed #1. Kills food noise, keeps brain sharp while fasted, no hangry response. Nothing comes close– Cagrilintide: the appetite suppressant add-on Reta is missing. Better and safer alternative to stacking tirzepatide with Reta - Novo Nordisk already made Cagrisema for a reason– HGH: boosts metabolism, improves sleep, builds lean muscle, reduces fat. You notice it most when you stop. HGH Frag 176-191 and AOD are great honorable mentions for those already lean– Tesamorelin: the only compound proven to spot-burn visceral fat. FDA approved. Dose at night fasted for best results do NOT take at the same time as Reta (insulin blunts it)– MOTS-C: exercise mimetic on a cellular level. Thousands of people reporting great fat loss results. Boots energy, ATP, and keeps you moving more throughout the day– Honorable mentions: SLUPP-332, 5-Amino-1MQ, Tesofensine, Clenbuterol, Cardarine GW501516, T3 thyroid, Liposa/MIC injection, L-Carnitine💪 JD's Stack — 47-Year-Old Man, 70 Pounds to Lose, Desk Job– Step 1: Get bloodwork - almost guaranteed to be hormonally deficient– TRT: non-negotiable base. Sleep, clarity, energy, sex drive all improve within weeks– HGH: sleep, recovery, anti-aging, lean muscle, fat burning - must for anyone over 40– Retatrutide: holy grail for fat loss. Works exponentially better when hormonally optimized– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): he hasn't trained, his tendons need support — mandatory– KPV: 47 years of bad eating has wrecked the gut. Fix the gut, fix everything– Diet: 90-day carnivore, intermittent fasting Mon/Wed/Fri (eat 12–8PM), weight train 4 days/week, HIT training 3 days/week🦋 Menopause Stack– Cellular energy: NAD+, SS-31 (repair first), then MOTS-C– Mood/brain fog: Semax + Selank together dopamine, serotonin, anxiety relief– Intimacy/dryness: PT-141 goes from first gear to fifth fast– Weight gain: Retatrutide even at low doses for women who don't need major weight loss– Skin/hair/nails: KLOW (GHK-Cu + KPV + BPC-157) collagen, gut health, hair thinning, fine lines🏊 21-Year-Old Competitive Athlete– Keep it simple their body heals itself– Creatine + high protein + eat more food– Wolverine if they have an injury only peptide worth adding at this age– SLUPP for stamina and nutrient partitioning if needed– No testosterone, no secretagogues, no HGH their body produces plenty– Cardarine would help massively but is WADA banned skip it if competing📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute/about

Best used post-workout with protein and carbs. 8 weeks max– HGH: increases IGF-1, burns fat, grows tissue everywhere hair, nails, recovery. The long game– PEG-MGF: local IGF-1 equivalent inject directly into the muscle you just trained post-workout for localized growth– Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin: GHRH + GHRP combo increases natural HGH pulses, burns visceral fat, FDA approved. Nearly interchangeable with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin– CJC-1295 No DAC: mirrors natural HGH pulses, safer long-term than DAC version– Honorable mention: Follistatin 344 / Myostatin Inhibitor theoretical but exciting. Modified version (Follistatin 242) more targeted. Still early in human data🏋️ JD's Get-In-Shape Stack– Testosterone: the non-negotiable base for anyone over 40. Hormonal optimization first– HGH (2 IU morning, fasted): better sleep immediately, long-term fat burning and recovery– MK-677: closest thing to gear without gear. Increases appetite, nutrient partitioning, fullness, and sleep quality. Pairs well with Retatrutide if hunger becomes an issue– 5-Amino-1MQ: keeps fat burning active while adding carbs for muscle growth– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): mandatory for anyone lifting heavy over 40. You cannot build without recovering– Creatine HCL (3g daily): most studied supplement available. Strength, endurance, cell hydration, muscle growth men and women should take it⚗️ Gear Curveball — Cutting Stack (JD)– Testosterone (low, as base only)– Winstrol injectable (weeks 1–4)– Masteron (add at week 2, run 2 months)– Proviron (enhances everything, releases free testosterone)– Optional: Anavar at the end or in place of Winstrol⚗️ Gear Curveball — Muscle Stack (Will)– Testosterone Sustanon 400mg (blend of 4 esters, hits in waves)– Turinabol 25–50mg daily as kickstart (6 weeks max) — leaner, more athletic than D-ball– Primobolan or Masteron at 2:1 ratio vs testosterone — low side effects, no water retention– Proviron in last 3/4 of cycle — peels SHBG off receptors, everything feels enhanced again– 400mg = anabolic threshold / 800mg = upper limit where receptors are maxed💡 Real talk– Peptides alone will not pack on size like gear that's just the truth– But peptides have an elite safety profile gear cannot match– Sleep and protein are non-negotiable no stack replaces them– Creatine HCL over monohydrate for less bloat same results– Never run gear without testosterone as a base everything shuts you down without it📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.Follow us on social media:JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideresearchinstitute/aboutSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/
