This is the April 2026 edition, and I went through every question that came in over the last month. Timestamps 00:01:58 Intro 00:04:01 Would adding kisspeptin to TRT help libido and muscle gain for women? 00:05:21 My free testosterone doubled on GHK-Cu while on HRT but I feel nothing.

    Is C02 Therapy The Ultimate Biohack?

    In today's episode, we're taking a detour from our usual peptide discussions to dive into one of my absolute favorite biohacking devices: the carbon dioxide therapy inhaler from CarboGenetics. I know what you're thinking—why would we want to inhale CO2 when we usually focus on getting more oxygen? It all comes down to a fascinating physiological mechanism called the Bohr effect. I'll break down the science of how inhaling small amounts of carbon dioxide actually forces your hemoglobin to release more oxygen into your tissues, significantly boosting cerebral blood flow, accelerating wound healing, and enhancing exercise performance.  We'll explore the history of CO2 therapy, from ancient volcanic vents to modern clinical studies showing impressive results in tumor oxygenation and hearing recovery. I'll also share my personal routine for using the device, including the optimal concentrations and timing for morning wakefulness, pre-workout endurance, and afternoon brain energy. Whether you're a hard-charging entrepreneur looking to regulate your nervous system or an athlete wanting an edge in the gym, this affordable biohack might just be the missing piece in your wellness routine.

The FDA just made a major announcement about moving 19 popular peptides from Category 2 to Category 1. And I want to share my honest thoughts on what this actually means for you. First I walk through how we got here. The Biden administration's original scheduling decision. The rise of the research peptide market. And why roughly four out of five peptides consumed in the US today come from research companies. Then I get into what the FDA is actually proposing. The July hearing. The February 2027 timeline. And what Category 1 status would mean for compounding pharmacies and telehealth clinics. But here's where it gets interesting. I share my prediction on where prices are headed and why I think we'll eventually see price parity between prescribed and research peptides. I also dig into what I think is a quiet quid pro quo happening between Big Pharma and the FDA around GLP-1s. This is speculation on my part. I'm not a doctor or a lawyer. But I wanted to give you my honest read on where this is all going. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

    Hunter & Taylor Answer Your Most Pressing Health Questions | Reader Mailbag Episode 1

    Hunter and Taylor Williams sit down for their first ever Reader Mailbag episode — a brand new deep dive Q&A format where they take the questions that need more than 60 seconds and actually break them down together. Most Q&As are rapid fire. This one isn't. Hunter and Taylor go deep on some of the most common but most underanswered questions they receive — covering women's hormones, reproductive health, peptides, detox protocols, pre-workout stacks, and whether teens should ever be using peptides at all. This week's questions: Should a 33-year-old female with low hormones start one hormone at a time — and if so, which one first? Hunter and Taylor break down why progesterone is the first building block, how to dose it by symptom relief rather than blood work numbers, and why more women in their 20s and 30s are candidates for testosterone than most people realize. They also get into why injectable testosterone beats cream for most women, how birth control is blocking natural hormone production, and what's really causing the epidemic of low mood, no libido, anxiety, and irregular periods in younger women. Can peptides help treat ovarian cysts without surgery? Hunter and Taylor discuss why PCOS is really a metabolic condition — not a testosterone problem — and why metformin plus a GLP-1 may be more effective than a $20,000 surgery. They also break down how often lifestyle modification is skipped in favor of the operating table. If a woman is already on TRT, can Kisspeptin further help with libido and muscle gain? They cover the difference between Kisspeptin 10 and Kisspeptin 54, the brain study showing Kisspeptin's direct effect on libido, and why it's not a replacement for hormone therapy but can be a useful add-on. What are the anti-aging benefits of Melanotan beyond tanning? Taylor shares her experience with Melanotan's cognitive and vision benefits, how it amplifies even limited sun exposure in the winter months, its immune system benefits, and what it actually does to hair pigmentation. What does Hunter's pre-workout stack actually look like? Injectable DADA, L-carnitine, choline, ATP, and phosphocreatine — plus the DIY powder formula he used to make from bulk supplements including beta alanine, citrulline malate, creatine, taurine, and EAAs. Taylor also shares why she can't stomach most commercial pre-workouts and what she uses instead. Beyond weekly glutathione, what else can you do to protect your body from environmental toxins and pesticides? Taylor's fruit and vegetable cleaning protocol, sauna, zeolite, activated charcoal, spirulina, and ion cleanse foot detox baths — plus a conversation about roundup in the air and why everyone should be detoxing regardless of how healthy they are. Should teens ever use peptides — for acne, weight loss, ADHD, or sports injuries? Hunter and Taylor break down which peptides they think are appropriate in context, why BPC-157 and TB-500 for a teen athlete with an injury makes more sense than doxycycline for acne, and why the hard and fast rule of "never until 18" doesn't hold up when teens are already being prescribed antibiotics and birth control.

And honestly, it's a fair thing to ask. You're spending real money on these compounds, so you deserve to know which ones might not be worth it. In this episode, I break down my five most overrated peptides. None of these are dangerous. Most have legitimate research behind them. They've just been surpassed by better compounds that cost about the same and work significantly better. I cover AOD-9604 and why the clinical trials underwhelmed, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 and the cortisol and hunger problems they create, HGH Frag 176-191 and why it's somehow worse than AOD, Sermorelin and why I think it persists despite better options being available, and oral 5-Amino-1MQ capsules versus the injectable form. For each one, I share what I'd use instead. Tesamorelin, GLP-1 agonists, Ipamorelin with CJC-1295, and the injectable version of 5-Amino are all on the table. This isn't a hit piece. Every peptide on this list works for someone. I just don't think most people are getting their money's worth. Take it as one peer's honest opinion and test things for yourself.
