Mindsip insights from this episode:
Apply compounded testosterone drops to enhance female libido
Compounded testosterone drops applied directly to the clitoris can effectively treat low libido in women without causing systemic masculinizing side effects.
Consider Trimix as an injectable alternative to oral ED drugs
For men who don't respond to oral ED drugs, an injectable compound called Trimix is a highly effective option that can be obtained from a compounding pharmacy.
Understand FDA regulations on peptide availability
The FDA is cracking down on certain peptides not because they are necessarily unsafe, but because they never met the specific legal criteria to be compounded in the first place.
Utilize compounding pharmacies to access patented drug ingredients
Compounding pharmacies can legally source active ingredients for patented drugs, like semaglutide, from manufacturers who use a different production process not covered by the original patent.
Personalize semaglutide dosing to minimize side effects
Using compounded semaglutide (Ozempic) allows for personalized dosing, which can help mitigate common side effects like nausea and muscle loss seen with standard commercial pens.
Revitalize cognitive function and energy with IV protocol
A modified PK protocol using IV phosphatidylcholine, B vitamins, and glutathione can help revitalize cognitive function and energy by repairing mitochondrial and cellular damage.
Apply topical drugs to minimize side effects for hair loss
Applying drugs like finasteride topically can provide local benefits for hair loss while minimizing the systemic side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, associated with taking them orally.
Combine testosterone esters to customize pharmacokinetic response
You can combine different testosterone esters, like fast-acting propionate with longer-acting cypionate, to customize the pharmacokinetic response and peak effect.
