47:50 — The bottom line

Today's episode is the first in a new format I'm rolling out. I'm working on a book where I cover one peptide at a time, one chapter at a time. Alongside that, I wanted to do a masterclass on each peptide and condense down everything I know into one place. First up is Retatrutide.

I cover what it actually does in your body, the two very different users that should be on it, and the dosing strategies that get debated to death online. We go through the weight loss data, the longevity data, and why I think 8 milligrams is the real ceiling for most people. I also break down once weekly versus split dosing, the heart rate question, the skin sensitivity issue, and why testosterone optimization has to come first.

If you want a definitive guide on Retatrutide, this is it. My goal is that you walk away with a framework you can actually use, whether it's on yourself, your coaching clients, or your patients.

Let me know what you think. I plan on doing many more of these on every peptide that matters.
