    EP 33: I Ate Burgers for 2 Weeks… and Didn’t Gain Weight | Peptide Science with Trevor

    What happens when you eat hamburgers and fries for two straight weeks… and your weight doesn’t change? For me, it was a wake-up call about how dramatically the body responds when you finally start optimizing it from the inside out. In this episode of the LOOP Podcast, Trevor returns to dive deep into the real science and lived experience behind peptides, longevity tools, and modern wellness. Together, we break down what actually happens when you stay consistent, why the old “calories in, calories out” model is incomplete, and how peptides have transformed everything from weight stability to energy, sleep, brain power, and overall vitality. Trevor and I unpack:  • Why your body plateaus when it’s under-optimized  • The peptide stacks that actually work • The difference between research-grade, prescription, and low-quality peptides • How NAD, MK-677, Clotho, CJC, and more fit into a full strategy • Why long-term health is about rhythm, not perfection • How to stay healthy while still enjoying real life (yes, even burgers and fries) Whether you're peptide-curious, deep in the wellness world, or just trying to understand your own metabolism better, this episode is packed with insight, personal stories, and myth-busting. Remember: everyone’s health journey is different. Always work with a licensed healthcare provider when exploring peptides, supplements, or new wellness routines. Let’s keep learning and growing together.  Subscribe for more deep dives into wellness, longevity, and real transformation.
