Mindsip insights from this episode:

Implement microdosing protocol with Retatrutide for longevity

A microdosing protocol for longevity involves taking 12.5 mcg of the triple-agonist peptide Retatrutide on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Implement Epitalon protocol to address severe sleep issues

For severe sleep issues, a 10 to 20-day cycle of the peptide Epitalon can be used quarterly to support the pineal gland and circadian rhythm.

Prioritize peptides to stimulate natural hormone production

For hormone optimization, it's preferable to first use peptides to stimulate the body's natural production before introducing exogenous hormones.

Obtain third-party tested peptides through Vesalius consultation

The company Vesalius, through its peptide arm Peptual, offers third-party tested peptides after a mandatory, complimentary telehealth consultation with a doctor.

Recognize stress's metabolic impact equivalent to a candy bar

A single stress event is metabolically equivalent to dumping 24 grams of glucose, like a candy bar, into your bloodstream.

Address women's cardiovascular risk post-menopause

Post-menopausal women have a four to five times greater risk of cardiovascular events compared to men of the same age.

Boost athletic performance with melatonin before competition

Taking 6mg of melatonin the night before competition can significantly increase anaerobic performance, power, and strength.

Rethink body fat goals for women's health and strength

Some women may be healthier aiming for 20% body fat with a high-fat diet and heavy lifting, rather than pursuing a low-fat, ripped physique.

Tailor fasting duration to female life stages

Lean, active pre-menopausal women may not do well with fasts longer than 12 hours, while post-menopausal women can often handle longer fasts similar to men.
