In this fascinating solosode, you'll receive a range of practical hacks and cutting-edge research to elevate your health, fitness, and mental performance. The episode kicks off with an unexpected experiment featuring retatrutide—a triple-action peptide that targets multiple hunger and metabolism pathways. You'll explore the nuances of microdosing retatrutide, and I'll reveal how tiny tweaks in dosing can yield powerful effects on appetite, cognition, and even social behavior around food.

This is an episode brimming with actionable takeaways, emerging science, and a healthy dose of curiosity—poised to ignite your journey to a more complete, boundless you.
