The Pinealon Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

766 views · 4h ago · 49:41

Pinealon is one of my regular peptides, and most people have never heard of it. It's a tiny three-amino-acid bioregulator from the Khavinson group in Russia. It works on the neurons in the thinking part of your brain. In this masterclass I cover everything I know about it. Despite the name, it doesn't work on the pineal gland. That's Epitalon. If Semax is a shot of espresso for the brain, Pinealon is the insulation in the walls.

Topics: Why Pinealon is so underused · What Pinealon is and where it came from · Neurons and oxidative stress · How Pinealon works · Human data and the big picture · What the research shows

Ep. 11 | Rick Collins | The State of the Peptide Union

7.4K views · 4d ago · 50:25

Rick Collins joins the podcast to discuss the current legal landscape of peptide research and medical freedom. We break down the ongoing friction between innovative health practices and regulatory oversight. This conversation is for anyone navigating the complex gray area of modern wellness, focusing on how to stay informed while protecting your right to access emerging protocols.

Topics: Rick Collins' path to peptide law · How research use only was born · Why peptides went mainstream · The Category 2 catch-22 · How "not for human use" cases get built · Can buyers get prosecuted?

The Vilon Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

6.3K views · 1w ago · 43:15

Vilon might be the most underrated peptide I use. If I had to sum it up in one line, it acts like BPC-157 and Thymosin Alpha-1 rolled into one. In this masterclass I walk through everything I know about it. Vilon is a tiny two-amino-acid peptide from the Khavinson bioregulator family. It works on the thymus, the gland that trains your T-cells. That gland shrinks as we age, and our immune defense slowly fades with it.

Topics: Why Vilon is so underrated · What Vilon is and where it came from · The thymus and immune aging · What the research shows · Who it's for and who should skip it · Dosing tiers

October 2026 Q&A | Cloudy Vials, Dual vs. Triple Ags, and Much More!

7.4K views · 1w ago · 36:18

Over 400,000 of you have used my AI chat app since it went live. I don’t read your individual messages. But the app sends me an anonymized report of what people struggle with most. So I took the top questions from the last week and answered them myself.

Topics: Stacking SS-31, MOTS-c and SLU-PP-332 · SS-31 fasted or with food · Where 5-amino-1MQ fits with TRT · NAD and 5-amino in one syringe · Can Cartalax help bone on bone · LL-37 with CJC or MOTS-c

The Oxytocin Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

Most people know oxytocin as the love hormone. That’s only a small part of the story. In this masterclass I break down what I’ve learned using oxytocin myself and digging through 70 years of human data. It was the first peptide hormone ever made in a lab. It’s still an FDA-approved drug today.

Topics: What oxytocin is · Receptors and desensitization · What it does in the body and brain · It amplifies the good and the bad · What the human data shows · Who should use it

Ep. 10 | From Federal Prison to Functional Health With Samantha Lander

5.7K views · 2w ago · 1:16:47

Samantha Lander is one of the most compelling voices in functional health and peptide coaching, and her path to getting here is unlike anyone else in the space. She’s a functional diagnostic nutritionist who went from addiction, federal prison, and a money laundering charge to building one of the most effective coaching practices for people who’ve tried everything and still can’t get results.

Topics: How Hunter and Samantha met at A4M · Samantha’s backstory: early drug use, bullying, and anxiety · Gut problems starting in 5th grade and early medications · Finding meth, self-medicating ADHD, and graduating Michigan · Selling drugs in LA, becoming a DJ, and hitting rock bottom · SWAT raid, federal indictment, and the decision to get sober

IGF-1 Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

9.1K views · 3w ago · 1:02:21

Most people treat IGF-1 LR3 like a muscle peptide you just add to the cart. I want to slow that down a bit. In this masterclass I break down IGF-1 LR3 and IGF-1 DES. Both are modified versions of the IGF-1 your liver makes. They work by dodging the binding proteins that keep most of your IGF-1 parked and inactive. More free IGF-1 means more signal actually reaching the muscle.

Topics: LR3, DES and Increlex intro · What IGF-1 actually does · Free IGF-1 and the parking garage · How DES and LR3 differ · Muscle growth and blood sugar mechanisms · The feedback loop problem

Ep. 9 | Dr. Tyna Moore on GLP-1 Micro Dosing, HRT, Joint Healing, and Why She Got Censored

14K views · 3w ago · 1:19:07

We get into the origins of GLP-1 micro dosing, the LDN analogy that actually explains it, how censorship twisted her message into a vanity weight loss narrative, and why she thinks GLPs are one of the greatest longevity tools we have. We also go deep on HRT for perimenopausal women, the retatrutide conversation, injectable joint therapies vs peptides, and things I’ve never heard discussed publicly before.

Topics: How Dr. Tyna got into GLP-1s (it wasn’t about weight loss) · The Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) analogy and the micro dosing hypothesis · What a true micro dose actually is and why the definition got corrupted · How censorship in 2024 twisted the micro dosing message · Why the dose escalation trend went completely off the rails · GLPs for longevity, inflammation, and stress resilience (the CEO class case)

The P21 Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

8K views · 4w ago · 48:15

P21 is one of my favorite brain peptides. It's also one of the least talked about. In this masterclass I break down everything I know about it. That includes the mechanism, the research, and how I actually use it. Here's the honest part up front. There is zero published human data on P21. Everything we have comes from cell and animal studies. The dosing I share is built from my own experience and what I've seen with clients.

Topics: Why P21 is one of my favorites · What P21 is and where it came from · BDNF, neurogenesis and synapses explained · How P21 raises BDNF and lowers tau · The animal evidence and where it failed · P21 vs Cerebrolysin, Semax and Dihexa

The Glutathione Masterclass | A Complete Research Guide (2026)

27K views · 1mo ago · 52:19

Glutathione is the most boring compound I use. It's also one I'd put in my top five peptides. Your cells make it every day. It's your main internal antioxidant, the buffer that soaks up the damaging byproducts of making energy. Levels drop with age, alcohol, illness and hard training. When that tank runs low, a lot of other therapies stop working as well.

Topics: What glutathione actually is · Redox made simple · Who benefits and who should skip · Delivery routes and the oral data · Dosing, timing and tracking · Should you cycle glutathione?
