Elamipretide

My phone's all like just trying to minimize your EMF exposure, you know, if you're able to.

And then that's one of the reasons why I made the decision of, you know, going hardcore with SS 31, MOTC and running these things daily to hopefully rebuild that mitochondria in the inner ear.

So if I can, you know, solve the tinnitus, solve the, get back some of that hearing, you know, I'll keep everybody updated on that.

But the, you know, that shit is like shit we can all deal with.

Not a lot, but I definitely notice I get a little leaner.

There's another peptide in this category that works differently called SS-31.

SS-31 operates, uh, differently than Mot-C, so it's totally different.

Started SS-31, I think I love it.

Really?

Yeah, dude.

What, mechanistically, are they doing the same thing? They doing something different?

Different to the mitochondria.

Those would probably be kind of the most common I would say that I'm using with people.

SS-31 as well.

Um, for me, the first needle-- RAD-0 is really one that I would say is like a big needle mover, um, I, in my opinion at least.

Really at the f- at the start of a contest prep, once there's an initial uptick in hunger and I see that like, you know, it's, it's not gonna crush someone's appetite because I do always want there to be some hunger present.

Um, and usually I will honestly try and escalate that per hunger cues for the individual, um, 'cause again, every single time I do that I'm seeing further fat loss happen without having to change any other variables.

So, um, again, for me I, I will introduce it as early on as I can once there's hunger cues telling me that it's not gonna, you know, wreck someone's appetite with bringing that in.

Um, SS-31, um, I like using this.

H- honestly, going back to even prior to a contest prep, I like introducing SS-31 in almost pre-prep phase, maybe like, you know, before we get start that kind of like initial fat loss happening.

Can increase VO2 max significant percentages, very good for performance.

So MOTS-c is a- another one, and then the most recent one we've been using is SS-31, which seems to be something that by changing the confirmation of that cardiolipin moiety, it gives you more bang for your buck.

So by the change of how you're delivering electrons, you're delivering more ATP per unit transport.

Yeah.

And so someone who wants to run a marathon, MOTS-C.

Someone who is sore in the morning and needs better recovery, BCP 157, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, sermorelin, w- you know, any of those things.

But what I've been doing a lot of now is SS-31, NAD are probably two of what I would consider, at least in the, the near term, seems to be quite healthy, good responses, again, cognitively, emotionally, and the hormones obviously are important to restore.

Right.

Again, MOTC, I take MOTC about twice a week now.

And that's to keep that maintained higher energy level that I've gotten from MOTC and from mitochondrial health, metabolic health, all over, you know, just overall.

DSS-31, same.

I'm at a milligram a day until further notice and see if that has a, it's reflected in my blood work, but, you know, just really bought into the science of that.

The DSIP, I'm going to go back to.

Probably will end up making its way into the research world here pretty soon.

Seems to be kind of like an oral version of SS-31 is the best way to simplify it.

And that's been studied in humans in Japan, safe and everything.

And so I think that's...

So it helps regulate the mitochondrial production of the reactive oxygen species to protect the cellular membrane and participate in an anti-inflammatory pathway.

So when I thought of this, I thought of, so like SS 31, which is a peptide goes in and helps heal that membrane, right? Well then think of taurine that goes in the already repaired cell to make it function better.

Makes sense.

Does that make sense?

So that's a really good base level, and then the next cycles, we might look at SLU-PP.

Or again, this candidate would probably go with S, also SS-31, which is gonna help repair the cardiolipin in the electron transport chain, which is probably causing some of the brain fog, lack of ATP reaching the brain, those energy crashes in the afternoon based on the the avatar I, I gave you, right? The, the, um, that's where SS31 would do.

SLU or MOTC might be the one that comes in and revamps and pushes us a little bit harder during performance periods and helps further with insulin sensitivity if we've got some of those issues, and just restoring the metabolic, restoring the metabolic function without having to go down the GLP route.

Let's say the person's 40, 50 pounds overweight, we might run a cycle of the GLP or something somewhere in there if needed, right? So that would be a base level.

energy?[chuckles] Absolutely, Amy.

And that brings us to mitochondrial peptides like MotC and SS-31.

You know, I remember a lab colleague of mine years ago who was analyzing cellular endurance, and they kept running into metabolic bottlenecks where the cells simply ran out of steam under stress.

When they introduced mitochondrial signaling peptides like MotC, the cellular power plants, the mitochondria, were able to optimize glucose usage and maintain energy output under heavy load.

MotC acts like a smart grid controller for your cellular power generators, while SS-31 acts like a protective shield against oxidative stress inside those same mitochondria.

Wow.

So while MotC optimizes the power output, SS-31 keeps the power plant machinery from rusting out.

That explains why researchers studying healthy aging and metabolic balance are so obsessed with them.

Did you find out that you had a little bit of a nose for this stuff and you were able to pick it up a lot quicker than other people? Because there's people that have been doing this for 20 years.

If you go up to them and you say, hey, tell me about SS-31 or tell me about MOTC, they'd look at you like you're an alien.

But you picked these compounds up quick.

Did you notice, hey, I have a little nose for this stuff? Well,

You know, I like it.

I like it a lot.

And then the SS-31 and OTSI, how are you? What's your protocol?

You know, I have to, you know, I have so much stuff going on.
