I check hormones and insulin resistance before anyone starts a peptide. Most doctors don’t run these thoroughly, and that gap is where people get stuck blaming age for something fixable.

Here’s the order that works:

• Test first: hormones, insulin resistance, full labs
• Correct what’s actually broken
• Reassess how you feel and what you still need
• Then decide if medication, including a GLP-1, makes sense
• Choose a trusted source, since quality varies significantly between suppliers
• Let your labs guide the dose and the protocol, not a guess

More testing up front means fewer wrong turns later. Concrete data beats trial and error every time.

Save this if you’re considering peptides or a GLP-1 and want to start with answers instead of guesses, and follow me for more evidence-based weight loss and longevity education.

Not losing weight? Before increasing your GLP-1 dose, look at how you’re actually eating.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is misunderstanding fasting.

Coffee with creamer, sugar, agave, or other calories breaks your fast. And those small calories, snacks, and bites throughout the day add up quickly.

When I break my own fast, I prioritize protein first. I also generally prefer an eating window of around 8–10 hours rather than trying to squeeze everything into a few hours.

If your weight loss has stalled, look at your:

• Protein intake
• Total calorie intake
• Snacks and drinks
• Eating window
• Food quality

GLP-1 medications are tools. A higher dose isn’t automatically the answer.

Before changing the medication, look at the habits around it.

Save this for your weight loss journey.

🫀 Want to reduce your cardiovascular risk and support healthier arteries? Start with the factors you have control over.

Here are 3 strategies I focus on:

1️⃣ Vitamin K2. K2 plays an important role in calcium metabolism and helps regulate where calcium is deposited in the body.

2️⃣ Control your carbohydrate intake. Especially if you have insulin resistance or poor metabolic health, reducing refined carbohydrates and improving blood sugar control matters for cardiovascular health.

3️⃣ Move every day. Regular exercise supports vascular function, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and overall heart health.

But before trying to fix anything, know your numbers.

I’m a big believer in testing before treating. A standard cholesterol panel only tells part of the story. Markers like ApoB, insulin, glucose and inflammation help give you a more complete picture of your cardiovascular and metabolic health.

If you want to go deeper with your labs, you can get comprehensive testing with 100+ biomarkers through Superpower

Get your baseline. Make targeted changes. Then retest and see what moved.

🫀 When was the last time you looked beyond your standard cholesterol panel?

If you feel terrible on a GLP-1, don’t automatically blame the medication.

Some of the fatigue, brain fog, headaches, weakness, or nausea people experience during weight loss might also be related to what they’re no longer getting enough of.

When medications like tirzepatide significantly reduce appetite and food intake, it becomes easier to fall short on fluids, electrolytes, protein, and essential micronutrients.

If you’re on a GLP-1, pay attention to these 4 things:

1. ELECTROLYTES + HYDRATION
Eating and drinking less means electrolyte and fluid intake often drops too.
2. MICRONUTRIENTS
Pay attention to nutritional adequacy, including thiamine (B1), B12, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients.
3. PROTEIN
Prioritize adequate protein during weight loss to support lean mass.
4. RESISTANCE TRAINING
Protein alone isn’t enough. Your muscles need a reason to stay. Lift weights, use resistance bands, machines, or your own body weight consistently.

GLP-1 treatment should be more than taking a medication and watching the number on the scale go down.

The goal is better body composition while protecting your muscle, strength, nutrition, and energy along the way.

SAVE this if you’re currently taking a GLP-1.

And SEND it to someone who keeps saying, “I just don’t feel like myself since starting.”

Comment ‘Facelifter’ and we I will sent you the link to the product.

Did you know that you can achieve a more defined jawline and improved facial features by training your facial muscles💪

I agree with Andrew Huberman that exercising your facial muscles, especially the muscles defining your jawline, can greatly improve your facial structure. This is one of the most profound anti-aging treatments that you can do, and it can give you better results than surgery.

The Facelifter(R) is a product that I helped develop and patent, and have been using for the past 15+ years 2 min every day.

Studies on GLP-1 medications show up to 40 percent of weight lost comes from lean mass, not fat. Semaglutide and tirzepatide trials found the same pattern. Appetite drops fast. Protein intake drops with it. Without enough protein and resistance training, your body pulls from muscle right alongside fat.

Muscle is not about how you look. It controls glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, bone density, and how strong and mobile you stay as you age. Lose it fast on the way down and you pay for it later.

Here is what I tell my patients starting a GLP-1:

Eat enough protein every day.
Strength train. Walking will not preserve muscle.
Stop chasing the highest dose. Response matters more than speed.
Track body composition, not only the number on the scale.

The goal was never a smaller version of an unhealthy body. The goal is a stronger, healthier one.

Would you rather lose 20 pounds, or lose 10 pounds of fat and keep your muscle? Tell me in the comments.

If you’re dealing with hair thinning or hair loss, topical finasteride + minoxidil is one combination worth knowing about.

Finasteride works by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, which reduces DHT. DHT plays a major role in androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern hair loss, because it contributes to progressive hair follicle miniaturization.

Minoxidil works through a different pathway. It supports hair growth and helps prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Why do I like the combination?

You’re addressing hair loss through two different mechanisms at the same time.

Using finasteride topically is also an interesting option for patients concerned about systemic exposure. Topical finasteride still gets absorbed to some degree, but systemic exposure tends to be lower than with oral treatment.

For men experiencing male pattern hair loss, topical finasteride + minoxidil is a treatment worth discussing with your physician.

Different formulations and concentrations are also used for women depending on the individual and the cause of hair loss.

Hair loss treatment is much more effective when you identify what is driving it first.

Save this if you’re researching hair loss treatments, finasteride, minoxidil, DHT, male pattern baldness, thinning hair, or hair regrowth.

Women with low testosterone have a solution that works. Men do not, and the data is clear on why.

Low testosterone affects both sexes. Decreased libido, bone density loss, muscle loss, persistent fatigue. But the fix is not the same for men and women.

DHEA is produced by your adrenal glands. In women, it’s the primary source of testosterone production. Studies show DHEA supplementation in women increases both total and free testosterone effectively.

In men, the results are disappointing. A portion of that DHEA converts to estrogen instead of testosterone, which means some men end up with more estrogen and no real testosterone gain. The opposite of the intended outcome.

One more important point: a precursor like DHEA is a better approach than taking finished testosterone directly, because exogenous testosterone suppresses your body’s own production. DHEA lets your body do the conversion itself.

This is not medical advice. It’s something to bring to your physician and explore based on your own labs and symptoms.

I like potato chips. I avoid seed oils. So I have been paying extra for the ones labeled 100 percent avocado oil.

Turns out I was being lied to.

UC Davis tested 54 processed foods listing avocado oil as the only oil ingredient. 93 percent of the chips failed. Most contained canola, safflower, or soybean oil instead.

The economics explain everything. Real avocado oil runs 4 to 5 dollars per pound. Seed oils cost 50 cents to a dollar fifty. The label premium is real. The oil is not.

This is not a new problem for this research group. A 2020 study found 82 percent of bottled avocado oils were rancid or cut with cheaper oils. The fraud simply moved from the oil aisle into the snack aisle.

Reading labels stopped being enough. When a price gap this wide meets almost no oversight, treat every premium claim as marketing until someone tests it.

Comment FOOD and I will send you my free guide with six powerful health strategies plus the ingredients to avoid while shopping.
