Why I Stopped BPC-157 and TB-500 Peptides - April 26, 2024

what's up you guys I want to update you real quick on my peptide therapy so over two months ago I started taking bpc 157 and tb500 I've been having over the many years my knees have just been getting worse and worse and then my ankles started getting really bad and they're constantly swollen and stiff and it was really affecting everything I do not just my workouts but just walking getting out of cars just I was just turning into a creeky old man so I contacted mer health and they agreed to partner with me on my treatment so I've been using these peptides for over two months now and I 10 days ago I decided to stop I spoke with my uh counselor uh Michael Warner of merik and I told him that you know I was going to take a break from the peptides because I didn't feel it's not like I didn't feel like they were working because in terms of my strength and my abilities like my ability to lift certain weights to strike the heavy bag to move in certain ways that was all better I think I've demonstrated on several videos uh on my social media of some of these things uh certain like question mark kicks that I couldn't throw for years I was able to now throw deadlifts yesterday I did some I lifted for me very heavy weights that I haven't touched in a long time so definitely the peptides have helped in terms of my joint recovery but what I was what what I was missing was uh I was always sore and stiff and it seemed like in the last month especially I've been getting more stiff and more sore even though my joints were more tolerant of my exercise and some might say you will because you're lifting heavier and is yes but there was something else at Play and I I told Michael that I'm going to take a a a break on the peptides until I can create the environment that would give them the chance to actually really work and really repair me the two things that I wasn't doing that I have discovered I need to do since I was a young teenager or before that I have only existed on less than 5 hours of sleep okay so um and even up until recently 5 hours four and a half five hours of sleep that's all I've ever gotten my entire life say what you want um and also I finally had to cave in I won't call it a cave in now because now that I know what I know it's not a cave in it's actually a very good thing and um people can say what they want about this as well but I've recently started using Arch supporting inserts in all of my barefoot shoes okay I know kill me but um the combination of increased sleep and supporting my collapsed arches because in comments a lot of you have noticed I have very flat feet and you probably see on a lot of my past videos my my feet pronating yeah and um so I finally started supporting my arches and I even to the point now where I used to be barefoot all the time even in my house now I have a set of uh pair of shoes that have these art supports in them and I am giving and it's literally it has made such a big difference I'll do a different video on that later uh because I know it's a topic of debate but I'm I'm just reporting that between getting my feet from this to this and adding just one to one and a half hours of sleep in just 10 days that has done more for my Mobility my functionality my comfort even my psychological well-being than anything in the past five years okay so anyway um so now that I've got my sleep a little bit more in order I've got the foundation to my building A Little More Level just in the last 5 days so much of the pain that I have had in my ankles in my toes I thought I was having either an autoimmune disorder or I don't know I was seriously concerned because that burning and the aching in all of my joints was and it was even affecting my shoulders my neck which is pretty strong everything was starting I was just starting to just get uh as soon as I I brought my arches from here to here and I added just one and a half hours of sleep I feel in just five days I feel so unreal so I'm now going to resume my peptide starting today because I am positive now that I if you keep if every the peptides are supposed to help me restore my joint surfaces but if they're being positioned in such a way where they're just being ground up um there's even Magic dust isn't going to fix that so um I'm now positive that I've created an environment for these peptides to start actually doing what they're going to what they should do I'll be reporting to you a little more regularly now because honestly I got a little I was depressed over the last two months that's why my updates on my peptide therapy were just kind of fell off because I didn't really have a lot of good to report yet I knew they were working on me I just wasn't getting the effect that I was hoping for but I also have learned whenever that happens I have to look in on myself first to figure out what I am doing or not doing to that would interfere with the result that I want that goes with everything I've done in the past okay so and it turned out sleep and my collapsed arches were 90% of the issue and I am so I'm really like literally I'm very happy today because I feel like number one I don't feel like I have an autoimmune disorder anymore because the pain has gone down 90 or more perc in my body I literally have more energy um it's incredible so I am now going to resume the peptides and I'll report to you more regularly because I'm pretty sure I can uh and I'm not just trying to if if nothing improves or if I actually get worse I will honestly tell you that as well you know Merica is not paying me a dollar for this right they are providing my peptides they're providing my labs are providing guidance but we have no cash exchange agreement okay so if this doesn't work I will tell you and they they they they know they'll be okay with that doesn't work on everyone but at at the same time I I wanted to remove the variables on my side that were interfering with the effect that I was hoping to get from the peptides all right so if you're still here I appreciate you much love and aloha
