So many of you have asked what i think the protocol for the GLP-1 class of drugs should be since i have made it really clear i do not agree with current guidelines.

The reason I do not care for current guidelines is I feel it lacks the emphasis of lifestyle changes and the use of minimum effective dosing to get use where we want to be.

I also feel like there are ways to minimize the loss of muscle, the sagging skin and overall aging that we see with many on GLP-1 drugs.

To be clear I beleive Mounjaro or now Zepbound should be used fpr fatloss if you are going to go down the road of GLP-1 drugs. It is more effective and has less side effects from all of my research.

I believe that to decrease the chances of staying on the GLP1 drugs for life it is very important to slowly titrate up using minimum effective dosing and then once we reach goal weight, we titrate down dosing in 3 month blocks. The goal is to not have to go to 10mg to reach our goal and to titrate down until we get to the lowest dose of 2.5mg which we will stay on for 6 months before coming off. The ultimate goal is to be at goal physique and not be on the medicine.

-The peptides protocols can no longer be prescribed by a doctor to my knowledge, this is as of a week ago. Talk to your doctor about it. You can still purchase through peptidescience, QSC on mesorx, and limitless life nootropics.

- Sustain alpha can be purchased from iconic formulations. Dermacrine can be used also, along with any of their other products. No need to throw the kitchen sink at things right away though.

- the fat loss protocol can be purchased from SNS or any online retailer that sales SNS products.

The Mounjaro Protocol

Goals:
1) Use lifestyle intervention to provide the majority of the weight loss while minimizing dosing of Mounjaro.

2) Looking to lose 1-2 lbs per week. The 1st four week block we are looking to lose 10lbs.

3) We will take a measurement at the naval and we will use that and the scale to track body fat loss. Getting a Dexa, Bodpod or Inbody Scan would be preferred, but not required.

4) We will eat in a slight caloric deficit and we will prioritize protein to minimize muscle loss and to minimize sagging skin that is so common with those that lose extreme amounts of weight.

5) We will use intermittent fasting and eat all meals in the noon-8pm or 11am-7pm time frame.

6) Males will have testosterone checked. If done having kids and TRT is needed, use. In younger males you will use Sustain Alpha from Iconic Formulations to keep Testosterone levels elevated while we reduce calories. 5 pumps per day.

7) We will progressively layer in other protocols to help with the weight loss as needed.

8) We will lift weights progressively 2-3x per week. I highly suggest starting with just the bar and sticking to a basic linear progression program. I highly suggest the Greyskull templates. We must get strong and build muscle if we are seeking the aesthetic appearance we claim to want. You must build muscle to keep skin from sagging. This is extra important for females.
