Current Protocols

Full transparency. 12 active peptides, 33 supplements, every dose, route, schedule, and genetic reason. Cycling and discontinued protocols documented below.

These protocols are prescribed and supervised by licensed physicians. Doses are calibrated to my specific genetics, bloodwork, and medical history. Do not copy this protocol. Use it to inform conversations with your own doctor.

Some compounds listed are prescribed off-label or through compounding pharmacies. All sourced from a DEA-certified 503A/503B pharmacy under physician supervision.

Disclosure: Peptide links go to Loop Health, where I'm CTO. Supplement links go to the brands I personally buy from. Some are affiliate links. All are products I actually use — my full bloodwork and protocols are on this site.

Active Peptides (12)

PeptideDoseRouteScheduleNote
Retatrutide5mgSubQWeeklyGLP-1 / GIP / glucagon triple agonist. Driving Trig 64→38, HbA1c 5.1, ApoB 99→84. Expect rebound off-drug (GCKR).
Enclomiphene12.5mgOralDailyStarted ~2026-06-14 — fertility-preserving T optimization. Kept for FSH/LH drive → spermatogenesis during TTC. LH/FSH un-suppressed; watching the SHBG "tax" (44→60→51) and E2 (37).
Kisspeptin-10~400mcg (12u)SubQ1–2×/weekPulsatile GnRH secretagogue — fertility-preserving. Running alongside enclomiphene; pulsatile dosing only (30-min t½).
MOTS-c10mgSubQ2–3×/week (4-wk block)Mitochondrial / AMPK activation — running high ("MOTS-c maxxing"). Watch: inhibits folate–methionine cycle (Hcy 6.2 covered by methylfolate); + tesofensine + fasting = hypoglycemia risk.
CJC-1295 (no-DAC) / IpamorelinStandard comboSubQBedtimeGH pulse at sleep onset — no-DAC for pulsatile kinetics, fasted 2h pre-bed. Reverted from Ipamorelin-only to the GHRH+GHRP combo. IGF-1 137 (mid-range).
BPC-157500mcgSubQDailyRecovery / gut. Back on after washout.
KPV~1000mcg (2× Loop)SubQDailyAnti-inflammatory (mast-cell / gut). Double the standard Loop dose.
NAD+200mgIMDaily AMIM bolus — direct muscle delivery, CD38 saturation, extracellular signaling. Intranasal version being phased out.
MIC + B12 (lipotropic)DailySubQDaily AMMethionine / inositol / choline + B12. Methylation support via TCN2 CG variant. High serum B12 (1434) benign — MMA + Hcy normal.
GlutathionePer shotIMDaily AMInjected to bypass poor oral absorption. GCLM AG — reduced GSH synthesis; pairs with GlyNAC.
GHK-Cu20 units (~2× Loop) + topicalSubQ / topicalNightlySystemic nightly + topical for hair (derma stamp). Copper handling normal (ceruloplasmin 26) despite ATP7B variant; zinc-augmented.
Semax3mg/day (mega dose, ~2× Loop)IntranasalDaily AMBDNF / cognitive. 1 month on / 1 month off. Adderall-day skip retired (Adderall discontinued).

Discontinued, Reserve, and Planned (7)

TesamorelinDiscontinued

Permanently discontinued. — Mast cell degranulation reaction (April 2026); Feb eosinophils 6.1% confirmed the dx — resolved to 2.7% (June 25 labs).

MK-677 (Ibutamoren)Discontinued

Discontinued after ~1 week trial. — Hunger spike was unmanageable. Replaced with CJC-1295/Ipamorelin nightly.

TRTHeld in reserve

Off the table during TTC. — Would shut down FSH. Fertility-preserving protocols only.

TB-500Discontinued

Given to partner.

EpithalonHeld in reserve

Last cycle Feb 2026. Repeat every 4-6 months.

SS-31Held in reserve

Cycle complete, on break.

Follistatin-344Planned

Banked — contraindicated during TTC (suppresses FSH → spermatogenesis). Revisit post-conception.
