Haas sit down with their personal functional medicine doctor and longtime friend, Dr. Scott Collie, for a deep dive into blood work, cardiovascular health, gut health, thyroid, and what actually matters when you are running gear or peptides.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Dr. Scott & Talking Real Food (Italy Recap) 05:29 – The Truth About "Running Gear" 06:15 – TRT vs. Steroid Cycles Explained 10:22 – Why Bloodwork Timing Matters On vs. Off Cycle 12:58 – Blood Sugar, Insulin & GLP-1s 17:45 – Kidney, Liver & Iron Health Markers 22:25 – Understanding Cholesterol: LDL, HDL & VLDL 27:31 – Thyroid Health & Hashimoto's 30:06 – Homocysteine & Methylation 35:13 – Rapid Weight Loss & Gallbladder Risks 39:16 – Inflammatory Markers & Heart Damage Warning Signs 46:02 – Top Supplements & Peptides for Cycle Support 53:41 – Cycle Timing & When to Test Blood 1:01:51 – Hydration & Final Thoughts 1:06:07 – Outro & Where to Find Dr. ScottWe cover:🩺What functional medicine actually looks at– Standard doctor panels are a snapshot, not a full picture– Dr. Scott runs up to 75 markers including cardiovascular, inflammatory, kidney, thyroid, and gut markers– Most insurance doctors stop at LDL and HDL, missing the full story completely– You need particle size, not just cholesterol weight, to understand your true cardiovascular risk🫀 Cardiovascular markers that matter– APOB: umbrella marker for all arteriosclerotic particles including VLDL, LDL, and IDL– Particle size is critical: anabolic steroids shift particles to small dense LDL, the type that sticks and clogs arteries– Myeloperoxidase and LP-PLA2: direct markers of vascular inflammation most doctors never run– Triglycerides plus elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT) almost always means fatty liver, no ultrasound needed– Fibrinogen: a clotting protein made by the liver, high fibrinogen plus high insulin plus high triglycerides is a walking time bomb, especially for steroid users– CRP (C-Reactive Protein): one of the best inflammatory markers available, if it is high something serious is going on🧬Homocysteine, the underrated killer– Homocysteine scars the inside of your arteries so plaque particles can park and stick– Now being studied as an Alzheimer's marker as well– Dr. Scott wants it at 7 or below, many people are at 9 to 50– Fix: methylate with B6, B12, and methyl folate, simple and cheap– TRT alone will elevate homocysteine, so methylating is a must for anyone on testosterone⚖️Retatrutide and rapid fat loss, what to watch– Losing fat very fast can back up bile flow and cause gallstones, not kidney stones– Check alkaline phosphatase and GGT before starting Reta if there is any gallbladder history– Signs of gallbladder issues: bloating, belching, pain under right rib cage, high-fat meal distress, floating stools– Floating poop is not a good sign, it means fat is not being absorbed properly– Blood sugar, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers improve dramatically and quickly on Reta🩸Blood work timing for gear users– Best time to test: before the cycle starts, to establish your baseline– After the cycle ends: retest to confirm you returned to baseline– Mid-cycle testing will look alarming by design, be ready for that– If you do not know what different esters are, you are not ready to run gearFollow Dr. Scott Collie:Website: https://heydrscott.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrScottCollie/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hey_dr_scott/Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunityFollow us:Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/

In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham is joined by Nora Adam (Wholesale Director at Forge Bio Lab) and Tiffany Marie Davis nutrition practitioner, peptide integration specialist, and retired IFBB Pro for a deep dive into gut health, hormone optimization, functional testing, and why most people are being dismissed by the very system that's supposed to help them.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Guest Introductions01:18 – Tiffany's Fertility Story & Being Dismissed by Doctors04:43 – Becoming a Nutrition Practitioner06:08 – Functional Testing vs Standard Labs09:34 – Vaccine Injury Case & Medical Gaslighting17:22 – Why Doctors Dismiss Patients19:30 – The Gut-Brain Connection20:14 – Top 3 Root Causes: Trauma, Food, Eating Disorders27:25 – The Anti-Inflammatory Diet33:19 – How Peptides Actually Work36:33 – GLP-1s: Benefits, Risks & Misuse39:45 – Minerals, Copper & GLP-1 Side Effects44:52 – Fasting & Autophagy: Women vs Men54:49 – Where to Start If You Feel Unwell1:02:46 – Outro & Where to Find Tiffany & NoraWe cover:🦋 Tiffany's story– Competing as an IFBB Pro destroyed her hormones by age 26 hair loss, amenorrhea, miscarriage, dismissed by every doctor she saw– Doctors threw metformin, birth control, and dismissals at her none addressed the root cause– A doctor refused to prescribe T3 because she assumed Tiffany wanted it for weight loss she then miscarried– Went back to school, earned 13 certifications in nutrition, became a board-registered nutrition practitioner– Now works entirely in functional testing and root cause healing🩺 What functional testing actually reveals– Standard labs are a snapshot they don't tell you WHY– Most doctors only run one thyroid marker there are eight– Elevated LDL on keto, carnivore, or RETA is expected your doctor probably doesn't know that– APOB + hs-CRP are far better cardiovascular risk markers rarely tested– Functional tests Tiffany runs: gut zoomer, hormone zoomer, organic acids test, heavy metals, mycotoxins, mineral panel, celiac, food sensitivities🔥 The three root causes she sees most– Trauma: held in organs (gallbladder = resentment/anger), disrupts the gut-brain axis, spikes cortisol, blocks proper hormone signaling– Food: our food supply is not the same as 30 years ago — seed oils, dyes, GMO crops, herbicide-sprayed produce, and modified grains are destroying gut linings– Eating disorders: nutrient deficiencies and intestinal abuse from restriction, bingeing, or purging cause cascading hormone and gut dysfunction💊 GLPs — the missing piece nobody talks about– Women losing hair and nails on GLP-1s are malnourished gastric emptying slows nutrient absorption– Must pair with: magnesium, electrolytes, copper mineral, digestive enzymes, liver support (TUDCA + ergothioneine)– Copper deficiency is extremely common on GLP-1s and almost never tested– GLP-1s are a tool not a lifestyle.

Haas are live from Prague after touring the Janoshik testing facility the gold standard for independent peptide testing. They break down what they saw, how COAs actually work, what testing really costs, and answer questions on fat loss at 447 pounds, chronic pain peptides, and the hardest peptide to test.We cover:• Inside Janoshik: What the Tour Actually Looked Like: Why Peter Magic's team does things right, what the petri dish sterility test looks like in person, and why endotoxins are caught at the supplier stage• How COAs Actually Work The Full Breakdown: Purity vs. identity vs. content testing, what HPLC and mass spectrometry actually measure, and why a COA without all three tells you almost nothing• What Peptide Testing Actually Costs: $450 for HPLC, $105 for heavy metals, $180 for endotoxins, $290 for sterility and why that math explains why cheap products can't be properly tested• The Hardest Peptide for Janoshik to Test: Why Cerebrolysin tops the list, why it's made from pig brain and contains multiple peptide strains, and why Retatrutide is challenging due to its molecular weight• Opiate Painkillers Post-Surgery When to Get Off: Why ibuprofen often works better than Vicodin for actual pain, why ARA-290 is the peptide answer for nerve pain, and why hyperbaric chambers and red light accelerate healing• 447 Pounds Down to 380 What to Stack with Retatrutide: Why TRT is non-negotiable first, why HGH at 2 IU is the long play, and how SLU-PP-332, 5-Amino-1-MQ and L-Carnitine target fat through different pathways• Carnivore + Retatrutide Does It Work?: Why you can absolutely do both, when to use carbs strategically around training, and why intermittent fasting compounds the results• The Culture at Janoshik: Why Czech work culture prioritizes quality over speed and what American businesses can learn from itChapters:00:00 – Intro00:09 – Life in Prague02:37 – Cutting Out Negative People09:04 – Jet Lag & Life Update10:29 – Impressions of Janoshik Testing Facility15:39 – Female Weight Loss, Muscle Retention & Reta Dosing22:29 – Crohn's Disease & GI Symptoms28:15 – Big Toe Inflammation & Injection Placement36:10 – Healing Off Pain Meds Safely43:31 – Fat Loss Stack for Major Weight Loss Journey55:19 – Peptide Storage & Shelf Life1:00:12 – What Surprised Them About Janoshik's Testing Process1:07:31 – Starting a Peptide Business & Finding Reliable Suppliers1:21:33 – Contamination Testing Explained1:25:59 – Cost & Types of Peptide Testing1:31:10 – Hardest Peptides to Test Accurately1:34:00 – Outro & Team ShoutoutsYou're a warrior.
