    Nicotine Gum & Patches: Delivery System, Addictive Potential, and Real-World COVID-Era Research

    Jon Andersen discusses why nicotine is widely misunderstood, arguing that many harms and addictive patterns come from unhealthy delivery systems rather than nicotine itself. He describes how COVID-era observations that smokers appeared to get sick at lower rates prompted researchers to revisit older, “buried” findings suggesting viruses have a harder time surviving in the presence of nicotine. Jon shares his self-testing with Rugby nicotine gum (and mentions patches as “cleaner”), experimenting up to roughly 40 mg/day plus a daily cigar, noting benefits like increased sharpness but also anxiety at higher doses. He says nicotine did not feel addictive to him because he would forget to use it if it wasn’t visible, and he reports fewer illnesses since starting, with similar anecdotal results among friends, family, and a client in special-operations-type work. He emphasizes this is not medical advice. 00:00 Nicotine Misunderstood 00:54 Delivery System Matters 02:44 Personal Gum Experiment 04:26 Is It Addictive 05:33 Sickness Prevention Test 06:24 Sharing Results With Others 07:54 Benefits And Disclaimer 08:36 Wrap Up And Resources Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.

    EQ, Masteron & Primo: Jon Andersen’s “Safer” PED Picks (Plus Growth Hormone Bonus)

    Jon Andersen shares his top three performance-enhancing drugs he believes are “happy, healthy, and safe” options for people trying to get in great shape, especially in their 40s and 50s, while avoiding harsh, highly androgenic compounds. He excludes testosterone from the top three (though he says it should be dialed to at least normal/upper-normal) and instead highlights Equipoise (Boldenone), Masteron, and Primobolan, explaining how they can be used alongside testosterone, their lower androgenic profile, and why estrogen control matters. He notes EQ is weak as a standalone but synergistic with testosterone, describes Masteron as a performance aid that helps control estrogen without aromatizing, and warns Primo is frequently counterfeited. As a bonus, he discusses exogenous growth hormone as a commonly discussed “PED” that may aid regeneration and longevity, and closes with educational disclaimers and resource links.

    Retatrutide + MOTS-c + Tesamorelin: Why Jon Andersen Uses This 3-Peptide Stack

    Jon Andersen shares his top three “longevity-based” peptides—Retatrutide, MOTS-c, and Tesamorelin—explaining why he uses them to stay lean, strong, and feel better. He says Retatrutide helps quiet food-driven dopamine cravings, supports insulin sensitivity, may reduce inflammation, and can aid fat loss via glucagon receptor activity, but must be dialed in so appetite suppression doesn’t lead to under-eating. MOTS-c is described as a mitochondrial peptide that “supercharges” mitochondria, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps oxidize body fat, which he says synergizes strongly with Retatrutide. Tesamorelin is presented as a growth hormone secretagogue that targets visceral fat and can improve sleep. He emphasizes the stack’s synergy, reports strong client results (fat loss, energy, strength, improved blood panels), and points viewers to peptide resources and discounts.

    Peptides Not Working? Check Testosterone & Hormones First (IGF-1 LR3 Example)

    Jon Andersen explains that the biggest reason many people don’t get results from peptides is neglecting hormone levels—especially testosterone—which he describes as the “foundation” peptides need to work effectively. He says peptides are messaging molecules, but if hormones are out of range (e.g., testosterone “in the tank”), the body may not carry out the intended effects, using IGF-1 LR3 for muscle gain as an example where low testosterone can blunt results. He notes many clients fail to progress because they don’t know their hormone status, recommends getting a blood panel, and suggests aiming for the high end of normal testosterone (often supported by TRT) to improve synergy and ROI since peptide cycles can be costly. He also points viewers to his educational resources, discount code, GA Protocols, and a peptide protocol calculator.

    SS31 → MOTS-c → NAD: A Sequenced Protocol

    Jon Andersen explains a sequenced approach using SS31, MOTS-c (MotC), and NAD for people who aren’t “completely zapped” but want to level up energy, reduce the 3 p.m. crash, and improve performance and body composition. He suggests starting with SS31 to “tune up” mitochondria, then moving to MOTS-c to enhance mitochondrial output and recruit more mitochondria, and finishing with NAD to refill the cellular “gas tank” as fuel demand rises. He says this order can create lasting effects for months and may be more effective than stacking everything at once. Jon reports clients commonly notice better fat oxidation, improved insulin sensitivity, higher ATP, sharper mental focus, and more consistent daily energy, while noting he’s sharing research and experience, not medical advice, and directing viewers to additional protocol details via his links.

    IGF-1 LR3 for Muscle Gain

    Jon Andersen explains why IGF-1 LR3 is, in his view, a direct way to support muscle-building compared with growth hormone secretagogues like tesamorelin and CJC that aim to raise IGF-1 indirectly. He highlights IGF-1 LR3’s longer half-life (~15–16 hours) versus regular IGF-1 (minutes) and shares a practical approach of morning dosing so it remains active through later training. He notes dosing is tricky because amounts are very small (often from a 1 mg vial) and uses “nasty pumps” in the gym as a real-world cue for finding a “sweet spot,” emphasizing starting low and avoiding excess due to potential blood sugar issues. He describes a late-50s client who gained strength and body weight while getting leaner with adequate protein, training, sleep, and cycling use, and mentions stacking with Retta. He points viewers to his education platforms for protocols and dosing, and states this is not medical advice. Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.

    NAD+ → SS-31 → MOTS-c: A Practical “Zapped” Mitochondria Protocol for Low Energy

    Jon Andersen explains a practical sequence he’s found helpful for people who feel chronically “zapped” with low energy, framing it as a cellular/mitochondrial energy issue. He outlines starting with NAD+ as “fuel” for the cellular gas tank, then adding SS-31 to “tune up” mitochondria once some energy returns, and finally using MOTS-c as “performance parts,” while continuing NAD+ throughout because improved mitochondrial efficiency can increase fuel demand. He shares a client case study (a mother of two after back-to-back births and years of poor sleep) who noticed incremental improvements after NAD+, further gains after SS-31, and stronger results after MOTS-c, including better overall energy, sleep, and desire to work out.

    Strongman Injury: Quad & Kneecap Ruptures, Blood Clots, Infection, and Leg Amputation

    Jon Andersen interviews his former strongman training partner Ricky LaRocca about a catastrophic injury at a heavy Hugo Girard contest in Canada. After hurting his knee during a frame carry, Ricky continued competing until collapsing during a wheelbarrow frame event, tearing both quads and detaching kneecaps. He describes delays in emergency care, a painful flight back to the U.S., missed diagnosis, repeated surgeries, severe infections, and recurring blood clots that revealed an underlying clotting disorder. Ricky ultimately underwent amputation (first below the knee, later through the knee) after persistent staph infection, while continuing to train and work. They discuss their intense, invite-only training culture, Ricky’s ongoing health risks and blood thinners, his recent return to a prosthetic, and his work mentoring at-risk youth using strength training to build resilience.
