Dosing, Protocols and More - https://www.skool.com/ddtmethodEpisode Summary:Chris Duffin sits down with Drew to share decades of practical peptide experience working with elite Bollywood action stars, high-performing executives, and world-class athletes. As the only human to squat and deadlift 1,000 pounds for reps, Chris brings unique insight into optimizing performance at the highest levels. He reveals why fixing dysfunction comes before optimization, explaining his "house building" analogy for understanding how BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and KPV work together to create the proper terrain for cellular signaling.The conversation explores Chris's controversial take on popular peptides - why he prefers CJC-1295 over Tesamorelin, his concerns about MK-677, and the IGF-1 protocols that built his legendary strength. Chris breaks down how blood flow restriction training triggers the same angiogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis signals as peptides, revealing protocols that combine BFR with AMPK-driving compounds for time-efficient muscle building. Drew and Chris compare notes on their current SS-31 and MOTC stacks, discussing optimal timing and why creating cellular responsiveness matters more than adding another compound.Chris shares his foundation supplement stack including fatty-15, TUDCA, ALCAR, and phosphatidylserine - the raw materials cells need before peptides can work properly. From PEMF mats to red light therapy to shockwave, he explains which recovery modalities actually move the needle and how they stack with peptide protocols. Whether you're healing a Bollywood star's staph infection or helping an executive perform at peak capacity while building muscle, this episode delivers battle-tested protocols you won't find anywhere else.CHAPTERS:0:00 - Introduction2:27 - Background & Journey to Human Optimization12:19 - Starting Point: Fixing Dysfunction Before Optimization16:00 - The "Glow Blend" Protocol: BPC, TB500, GHK & KPV18:08 - Understanding Peptide Signaling20:00 - Power Grid Optimization: PEMF, Shockwave & Red Light Therapy23:11 - Training Modalities: BFR, Flywheel & Metabolic Stress25:31 - Blood Flow Restriction: IPC vs Myorep Methods27:04 - The Missing Link in Modern Training30:31 - Peptides for Mass Gainin36:12 - Stacking Modalities for Stem Cell Proliferation36:25 - Growth Hormone Peptide Overview39:27 - Why Chris Avoids MK-677 & Tesamorelin40:00 - Mitochondrial Optimization: SS-31 & MOTS-C Deep Dive43:08 - Drew's Updated Mitochondria Protocol44:08 - Carbon 60: When & Why to Use Antioxidants47:29 - Five Amino 1MQ & TUDKA: NAD Recycling Over Supplementation49:05 - Essential Supplements: Building Cellular Resilience52:02 - The Foundation: Raw Materials, Training & Cellular Health54:05 - Jedi Mastery: Combining Peptides, Training & Biohacking54:35 - Where to Find Chris Duffin & Closing RemarksConnect with Chris Duffin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mad_scientist_duffinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kabuki07Website: https://www.chrisduffin.com/Free Education Platform: https://www.skool.com/endless-evolution-8560/aboutPaid Education: https://chrisduffin.myshopify.com/pages/community

Elite Men's Coaching - https://the.realprimalhuman.com/learn-more-hereJoin the Member's Community! Dosing, Protocols and More - https://www.skool.com/ddtmethodDisclaimer:Since this podcast was recorded some information regarding the initial testing on bioglutide was made public and Anthony has released this statement - https://www.skool.com/castore-built-to-adapt-7414/statement-from-anthony-castore-and-alchemiq-on-the-bioglutide-biomed-situation?p=5245589aEpisode Summary:Drew and Anthony are back with part two, and this one's packed with protocols you can actually use. The big topic? Bioglutide - the newest GLP that's orally available and might be the answer to muscle loss concerns everyone's been talking about. It hits four different pathways including IGF-1, which changes the game for recovery and building muscle while staying lean.Anthony walks through exactly how to transition off retatrutide without losing progress, including the math on half-lives and strategic timing. Drew shares his personal plan for coming off after nearly a year of use, stacking bioglutide with MOTC, SS-31, and growth hormone for a recomp phase. This isn't theory - it's what they're actually doing.The conversation shifts to cellular health foundations that most people skip. Anthony breaks down his daily supplement stack and explains why plasmalogens, phosphatidylcholine, and TUDCA matter more than adding another peptide. They cover senolytic protocols using FOXO-4 to clear out damaged cells, strategic NAD optimization with 5-Amino-1MQ and 1-MNA, and why your membranes need repair before anything else works optimally.Whether you're deep into enhancement protocols or just trying to understand how to support what you're already doing, this episode delivers actionable information you won't find anywhere else.TOP TAKEAWAYS:• Bioglutide as a game-changing quad-agonist• Strategic GLP transitioning - Reta to Bioglutide• FOXO-4 senolytic protocol strategic timing• Plasmalogens the essential cellular membrane building blocks • Build your cellular foundation before advanced protocolsCHAPTERS:0:00 - Introduction 2:13 - Introduction to GLP-1 Agonists & Fat Loss2:58 - Understanding Bioglutide: The Quad Agonist Breakthrough10:40 - IGF-1 Modulation: How Bioglutide Differs from Injectable IGF14:27 - Transitioning Strategies to Bioglutide: Drew's Protocol Plan24:07 - Incorporating MOTS-c for Fuel Switching27:02 - Five Amino 1MQ: NAD Optimization & Fat Cell Reduction30:16 - Senolytic Protocols: FOX04 DRI for Cellular Cleanup38:44 - Introduction to Plasmalogens: The Building Blocks of Cell Membranes54:03 - Essential Supplement Stack: The Foundation for Optimization1:04:52 - Where to Find Anthony Castor & AlchemIQ Labs ProductsConnect with Anthony Castor:Anthony Castor's Community & Resources:Castor Built to Adapt - Free Skool Community - https://www.skool.com/castore-built-to-adapt-7414 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthonycastore/?hl=en

Real Primal Human (RPH) Coaching Program - http://bit.ly/4nl1W3PIn this advanced peptide discussion, Drew Donaldson sits down with human optimization specialist Anthony Castor to decode the controversial SLU-PP-332 dosing debate. While the internet argues between 100 micrograms and 400+ milligrams, Anthony breaks down the science-backed approach to finding your minimal effective dose. This conversation dives deep into mitochondrial function, explaining why overdosing SLU can cause brain fog, insulin resistance, and long-term health issues despite short-term fat loss results.Anthony reveals why most people don't need massive doses of SLU-PP-332, introducing the concept of mitochondrial optimization through strategic stacking with urolithin A. He explains the electron transport chain, mitochondrial fission and fusion, and why supporting your body's natural cleanup processes (mitophagy) is crucial for sustainable results. Drew shares his personal experience titrating from 100 micrograms to 4 milligrams, discovering that 2mg was his sweet spot when supported with proper substrate availability.The episode announces two major launches: the DDT Method exclusive members group for advanced peptide protocols and detailed PED education, plus Real Primal Human (RPH) coaching program featuring elite trainers specializing in human optimization.

Pro bodybuilder Dusty Hanshaw joins the DDT Method podcast to share his journey from average genetics to earning his pro card through relentless dedication and smart training. In this comprehensive discussion, Dusty breaks down his experience with DC training and progressive overload protocols, explaining how he maximized his genetic potential by focusing on what he could control rather than lamenting his structural limitations. The conversation covers critical topics including training intensity versus volume, individualized nutrition approaches, and the importance of health monitoring for enhanced athletes.

Dusty and host Drew also share remarkably similar near-death experiences involving esophageal ruptures from years of forced feeding, offering a candid look at the often-overlooked risks of extreme bodybuilding practices. The discussion explores how these experiences shaped their current approaches to training, nutrition, and life priorities. Dusty emphasizes the importance of mastering fundamental training and nutrition principles before adding advanced protocols like peptides, and explains why different body parts may require completely different training approaches based on individual response and genetics.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

• Master the fundamentals first - Progressive overload, consistent nutrition, and proper training intensity matter far more than advanced peptides or supplements. Don't add complexity until you've maximized the basics.
• Let your body dictate your approach - Pay attention to how your body responds to training and nutrition rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all protocol. Different body parts may require completely different training styles based on your individual response.
• Health monitoring is non-negotiable - Regular blood work and health screening isn't optional for enhanced athletes. It's okay to lose a competition if your health markers indicate you need to back off, but it's never okay to ignore warning signs.
• There's no single "right" way to train - The intensity, frequency, and volume debate exists because all three matter, but they can be balanced in different ways. Find what works for your body, recovery capacity, and lifestyle rather than arguing about methods.
• Hidden dangers exist beyond drugs - Forced feeding and ignoring digestive issues like acid reflux can cause life-threatening complications. Pay attention to seemingly minor symptoms and address them before they become catastrophic.

David Weck, inventor of the BOSU ball and pioneer of the rope flow movement, joins the DDT Method podcast for an explosive conversation about the fundamental flaws in modern fitness training. Weck shares his journey from Division 3 football player to movement revolutionary, explaining how chronic back pain led him to discover the stability ball and eventually challenge the entire fitness industry's understanding of core stability and human locomotion.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Weck dismantles the "core stability equals spinal stiffness" narrative that dominated exercise science in the 2000s, revealing how this flawed approach has created an epidemic of non-contact injuries and limited athletic potential. He introduces the concept of "force transmission" as the true foundation of athletic performance, explaining why balance and fluid movement patterns trump raw strength alone. From his work with world champion long drive golfer Justin James to his revolutionary approach to deadlifting, Weck provides practical insights for advanced athletes looking to break through plateaus while maintaining joint health and movement quality.

The conversation covers rope flow origins, the importance of rotational training, the "perfect poise to pounce" single-leg balance position, and Weck's vision for a paradigm shift in human movement understanding. Whether you're a competitive athlete, serious lifter, or movement enthusiast, this episode challenges everything you think you know about training the human body for optimal performance.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

• Force transmission is king, strength is queen - You can sacrifice some strength but never balance. Without proper force transmission through skeletal alignment, raw strength becomes useless and even dangerous for long-term athletic performance.
• The "perfect poise to pounce" position - Master single-leg balance by differentiating one side (tying shoulder to hip as tightly as possible) while lengthening the opposite side to optimize polarity, creating instant readiness without fatigue.
• Rope flow trains systemic beat before syncopation - Unlike jump rope which creates syncopated movement (hands down, feet up), rope flow without jumping teaches rotational rhythm and full-body integration, providing superior carryover to athletic movement.
• The Weck Method 45 deadlift setup - Feet close together, balanced on fourth and fifth metatarsals with heels hovering, creates pure vertical pull by keeping spine and shin angles congruent while allowing the skeleton to self-adjust for individual imbalances.
• "Sagittalitis" is limiting your potential - Most gym training focuses exclusively on forward-backward and up-down planes while neglecting rotational and lateral movement patterns essential for real-world athletic performance and injury prevention.

Episode Summary:

Performance enhancement specialist Broderick Chavez joins the DDT Method Podcast for an extensive conversation about building effective PED protocols using scientific frameworks rather than cookie-cutter approaches. With nearly 40 years of experience starting as a teenage bodybuilder in the competitive 1980s, progressing through elite powerlifting and strongman, and learning from legends like Dr. Fred Hatfield and Tom Platz, Broderick breaks down his systematic methodology for designing personalized drug courses. This episode covers the critical importance of unified language in enhancement (why "course" beats "cycle"), the steroid family tree classification system (testosterone base, DHT derivatives, and 19-nors), and why growth hormone deserves consideration as foundational infrastructure rather than an advanced addition. Broderick explains how water retention actually builds muscle, why trenbolone's reputation is partially misunderstood through improper context, and the dose-response relationship between body weight and drug selection.

The conversation emphasizes assessment-first methodology, examining training history, past drug responses, body composition, and individual goals before selecting compounds. Broderick challenges common industry myths including the overuse of "optimization," the false distinction between "side effects" and "effects," and assumptions about mandatory on-the-fly adjustments versus strategic pre-planning. He provides practical frameworks for understanding why different drug families (DHT for strength with less water, 19-nors for fullness and volume, testosterone derivatives for broad-spectrum effects) serve different physique needs. This episode delivers actionable insights on strategic compound selection, proper dosing escalation, and the often-overlooked importance of building orthopedic infrastructure through growth hormone before accumulating massive muscle mass and training volume.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:

• Language Creates Framework: Using "course" instead of "cycle" fundamentally changes your approach from circular repetition to strategic navigation 
• The Steroid Family Tree: Understanding PED classification - testosterone base, DHT derivatives, 19-nors
• Assessment Before Protocol: Why effective courses require detailed examination of Athlete’s History
• Growth Hormone Infrastructure: How GH develops orthopedic framework and recovery systems, making it more valuable early in enhancement journeys rather than as advanced addition.
• Effects, Not Side Effects: Every drug produces multiple effects—some desired, some not, depending on context.

Join Drew and Dr. Dwayne Jackson for an in-depth exploration of why exogenous ketones are experiencing a renaissance - and it has nothing to do with fat loss. Discover cutting-edge mitochondrial peptides, the truth about NAD injections, and how to build the ultimate energy optimization stack without breaking the bank.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why exogenous ketones failed initially and how they're being used correctly now
• The surprising sleep and HRV benefits of taking ketones before bed
• SS31 vs other mitochondrial peptides: which delivers the best ROI
• Methylene blue dosing protocols and dangerous drug interactions to avoid
• CoQ10, NAD precursors, and PQQ: the affordable alternatives to expensive peptides
• Why dual-fueling with glucose + ketones is revolutionizing endurance sports

EPISODE BREAKDOWN

The Ketone Renaissance Dr. Jackson explains why ketones disappeared from the market and what's driving their comeback. The key insight: they're not for fat loss when taken exogenously, but rather provide alternative brain fuel and ATP production, especially during carbohydrate restriction.

Bedtime Ketones: The Sleep Game Changer Discover the emerging research on ketones improving sleep latency, REM sleep, and recovery. Drew shares his personal experience tracking HRV improvements with nightly ketone consumption.

Dual Fueling for Athletes Learn how endurance athletes are combining glucose and exogenous ketones for sustained energy without GI distress. Dr. Jackson breaks down the physiology of energy system switching during prolonged exercise.

Mitochondrial Peptides Deep Dive SS31 (Elamipretide) emerges as the most researched option for mitochondrial health, working by stabilizing electron transport chain complexes and reducing oxidative stress. Compare this to newer options like SLU-PP-332.

Methylene Blue Protocols Critical dosing information for methylene blue (0.25-1mg per kg bodyweight) and why higher doses can cause oxidative damage. Plus the serious drug interactions with SSRIs that could cause serotonin syndrome.

Budget-Friendly Alternatives CoQ10 (200-400mg ubiquinol), NAD precursors (NR 300mg, NMN 500mg), and PQQ (20-40mg) provide mitochondrial benefits at a fraction of peptide costs.

The Foundation First Philosophy Both experts emphasize that no supplement stack can overcome poor lifestyle habits. These advanced protocols only shine when training, diet, recovery, and stress management are already optimized.

DOSING PROTOCOLS

SS31: 40-80mg subcutaneous, morning dosing during training phases Methylene Blue: 0.5-1mg oral daily (never exceed 4mg total) CoQ10: 200-400mg ubiquinol form NAD Precursors: NR 300mg or NMN 500mg daily PQQ: 20-40mg daily Ketones: Product-dependent, aim for 1.5-2.0 millimolar blood levels

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Never combine methylene blue with SSRI/SNRI antidepressants
• Start with minimal effective doses and increase gradually
• Cycle peptides during specific training phases (8-16 weeks)
• Consult healthcare providers before starting any protocol
• Source quality matters - research suppliers thoroughly
