Part two with Michael Farber goes deep on FLGR-242, the long acting myostatin inhibitor he invented that is helping people gain 10 to 12 pounds of lean muscle in three to four months, without anabolics, without side effects, and regardless of genetics. This is one of the most important muscle building conversations we have ever had on this podcast. 🔬 Topics Covered: • Why Farber invented FLGR-242 after losing 2+ years of muscle during COVID • What myostatin actually is and why it is your body's brake on muscle growth and fat burning • Belgian blue cows, super mice, and real world examples of myostatin mutations • Why naturally gifted athletes often have partial myostatin mutations and do not even know it • How FLGR-242 levels the playing field for people not born with athletic genetics • Expected results: 10 to 12 pounds of lean muscle in 3 to 4 months at 5mg per week • Why going above 10mg per week produces virtually no additional gains • Farber personally went to 20mg per week and confirmed no negative health effects above 10mg • How FLGR-242 was designed to bind ONLY myostatin and why that makes it so safe • Why Follistatin-344 causes random growth and must be injected locally while FLGR-242 freely circulates • Brian Johnson's myostatin experiment in Honduras: 2% gain in a year at $50,000 per try • FLGR-242 vs circular DNA myostatin inhibitors: not even close • Apelin-13: the ergogenic compound that optimizes fat burning and cardiovascular output simultaneously • Long acting Thymosin Alpha-1 and Thymosin Beta coming soon • Bioline: the new appetite and metabolism compound coming down the pipeline • The albumin binder platform and why it is changing how every compound performs Chapters: 00:00 – Intro 00:09 – Welcome Back & Will's Mom Moving to Town 01:24 – Appreciating Your Parents While You Have Them 03:29 – Round Two With Michael Farber: Why He Created FLGR-242 06:27 – Myostatin Inhibition Beyond Muscle: Obesity & Fetal Growth 10:02 – Leveling the Playing Field for Natural Athletes 12:21 – Real-World Results: 10–12 Pounds of Lean Muscle in 4 Months 14:44 – Dosing: Why More Than 10 mg a Week Doesn't Help 19:23 – How FLGR-242 Differs From Follistatin 344 24:06 – Safety Record & Gene Therapy Alternatives 27:55 – What's Next: Apelin, Long-Acting Thymosin & Obesity Compounds 30:16 – The Albumin Binder Discovery: MC4R & Amylin Compounds 34:34 – Cancer Drug Trojan Horse Idea 36:40 – Upcoming Launches: Appetite Control & Long-Acting Thymosin Alpha-1 38:44 – Outro

This is a conversation with the man who invented two of the most talked about longevity compounds on the planet. Dr. Michael Farber joins JD Denham and William T. Haas to break down Klotho and FLGR-242 from the ground up. Who created them, why he created them, how they actually work in the body, and where medicine is heading in the next 20 years. 🔬 Topics Covered: • Who is Dr. Michael Farber and his 35 years in biochemistry and 150 patents • Why he invented Klotho to save his own kidney after losing his right kidney in his teens • How Klotho regulates phosphate and calcium and why that matters for kidney function • The feedback loop of kidney disease that has never been reversible until now • People going from an EGFR of 40 back up to 70 and beyond on Klotho • Why Klotho makes NAD work dramatically better through the SIRT1 pathway • Klotho and the blood brain barrier: clearing toxic plaque buildup without entering the brain • Why Dr. Farber considers Klotho more important for longevity than FLGR-242 • How the albumin binder platform works and why it allows bi-weekly dosing • Klotho dosing: 10 micrograms every two weeks for healthy individuals, every 11 to 12 days for kidney dysfunction • What happens if you overdose Klotho and why it is strictly range-bound • FLGR-242: the long-acting myostatin inhibitor that is outperforming all expectations • Why FLGR-242 dosing is nothing like Follistatin-344 and must not be confused • The future of medicine: synthetic organs, CRISPR, fetal genetic optimization, and living to 120 • Dr. Farber consumed a bottle of painkillers a week for decades. In the last 18 months he has taken two or three total.

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk. Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas get back to basics with two compounds that belong in almost everyone's stack. Epithalon for longevity, sleep, and cellular aging. Glutathione for detox, liver protection, and immune support. Simple, powerful, and underutilized. Chapters: 00:00 – Intro 00:09 – Show Updates & Shirt Talk 02:15 – Heading to the Olympia 02:58 – Behind the Scenes of Bodybuilding Prep 05:26 – JD's Mold-Related Cough Diagnosis 07:50 – New Podcast Format & Upcoming Compounds 10:01 – School & Coaching Program Updates 10:41 – Carnivore vs. Macros: Finding What Works 13:33 – Epitalon: Origins in Russian Bioregulator Science 15:03 – Why Most Peptides Lack FDA Clinical Trials 17:20 – Big Pharma's Incentives & Hidden Cures 21:53 – Epitalon: Longevity, Immune Support & Sleep 27:53 – What to Stack With & Avoid on Epitalon 32:13 – Glutathione: Why Everyone Should Take It 34:57 – Delivery Methods & Global Uses 39:49 – Dosing Protocols: Epitalon & Glutathione Math We cover: 🧬 What is Epithalon? – A four amino acid synthetic peptide made of alanine, glutamate, aspartate, and glycine – One of Dr. Khavinson's Soviet bioregulators developed in the 1970s military research program – Works directly on the pineal gland, the pea-sized gland in your brain that regulates sleep and hormones – In 2026, an FDA advisory committee voted 7 to 4 to recommend adding it to the approved compound list (advisory only, not yet policy) – Cannot be patented because it is a naturally occurring compound, so there is no financial incentive for big pharma to fund large trials 🔬 What Epithalon does – Telomere lengthening: Dr. Khavinson's studies showed it extends the telomere caps on your chromosomes, theoretically slowing cellular aging. Animal models showed extended lifespan – Sleep and circadian rhythm reset: deepens sleep, reduces nighttime waking, helps reset disrupted sleep cycles. One of the top reasons people run it – Immune resilience: lowers free radical damage systemically, especially helpful for overtrained athletes and chronically stressed people ⚠️ What to avoid with Epithalon – Alcohol – High-dose melatonin (it can replace melatonin, do not stack them) – Extra sedatives while running it for sleep – Theoretical caution with active cancer due to pineal gland's role in cell regulation (not proven, just noted) – Not WADA banned but classified as a non-approved substance for tested athletes 🛡️ What is Glutathione? – Discovered in 1888, actively used in Italy to treat Parkinson's after independent human trials – Your body's master antioxidant and the most important detox compound available – Scavenges free radicals, recycles vitamins C and E so they keep working, and escorts toxins out of the body 🔬 What Glutathione actually does – Liver detox and protection: number one clinical use in Western medicine, especially post-alcohol and for fatty liver support – Parkinson's and neuroprotection: proven in human trials to protect nerves from chemotherapy damage – Immune support and long COVID recovery: being used in post-viral fatigue and long COVID protocols – Skin lightening: the number one global use.

Haas are live from South Carolina touring a 503A/503B FDA-approved compounding facility.

Any compounds discussed may be intended for research purposes only. Use at your own risk. Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas sit down with Tim Elkins, JD's first mentor in business and now owner of Elkins Cattle Co., one of Texas's largest cattle operations spanning 40 to 50 thousand acres. This one is not about peptides. It is about what is actually in your food and why it matters just as much. Chapters: 00:00 – Intro 00:13 – Meeting Tim Elkins 01:36 – Tim's Background: Finance to Cattle Ranching 07:53 – The Time Management Lesson That Changed JD's Career 10:35 – Cattle Ranch to Table: How the Industry Really Works 12:23 – The "Big Four" Monopoly Explained 14:24 – Why Elkins Cattle Co Refuses to Cut Corners 18:46 – The Truth About Foreign Beef 21:00 – Why Ribeye Prices Doubled & Who Profits 25:03 – Grocery Store Ground Beef: What's Really In It 29:44 – What's Legal But Should Shock You 34:29 – How to Tell a Cheated Steak From a Real One 39:10 – The Truth About "Wagyu" Labels at Costco 42:47 – Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Finished Explained 47:26 – Inside a Feedlot: How They Track Every Animal 54:08 – How Buying Local Can Starve Out the Big Four & Outro We cover: 🐄 How beef actually gets to your table – 90% of American beef passes through just four companies: JBS, Cargill, Tyson, and National Beef – These four have a stranglehold monopoly on the entire industry and prioritize speed and profit over quality – 70% of beef consumed in America is foreign beef. Most people have no idea – Animals are often slaughtered at under 12 months old or as old non-producing cows to cut costs – Horse meat in fast food chains: confirmed. And it is more widespread than just Taco Bell 🚫 What store-bought beef actually contains – Hormones, antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, and artificial additives are standard practice in commercial beef production – Wagyu labeling loophole: a product only needs 0.001% wagyu genetics to legally use the wagyu label. That ribeye at Costco is not what you think it is – "Grass-fed" on a label means almost nothing. Every cow has eaten at least one piece of grass. The label has no meaningful standard – Pink slime in ground beef is real and it comes from reputable-looking places, not just fast food – Veal in most restaurants is almost certainly a calf that died in transit or in a pen, not one that was intentionally raised for that purpose 🥩 What Elkins Cattle Co. does differently – Zero hormones, zero antibiotics, zero mRNA vaccines, zero shortcuts – All animals are 30 months old at slaughter, not 12 months – 40 to 50 thousand acres across Texas, nearly 9,000 head of cattle – Consumer direct: order by Monday, ships frozen to your door by Tuesday – Retina scanning technology tags every animal daily, tracking food intake, water, health markers, and time spent laying down. Red X spray marks any animal that needs attention that morning – Grass-fed AND grass-finished: fed four specific grasses including coastal Bermuda, Klein, native grasses, and winter oats to mimic the intramuscular fat quality of grain-finished beef without any GMO grain inputs – Animal welfare is non-negotiable: a stressed, unhappy cow does not gain weight properly and the difference shows up in the meat Follow us on social media: JD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jddenhamofficial/ Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamthaas/ Follow Tim Elkins: Website: https://www.elkinscattleco.com X (Twitter): https://www.x.com/elkinscattleco Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elkinscattleco/ Join The Community: https://www.skool.com/peptideoftheweekcommunity Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://potwnewsletter.beehiiv.com/ Coaching Website: https://www.warrior-makerscoaching.com/

In this week's Peptide Q&A, JD Denham is joined by peptide consultant Michael Vandal and Nora Addam, wholesale director at Forge Biolabs, while Will enjoys Hawaii. They cover the new Warrior Maker Wellness Center, overtraining at 8% body fat, FOXO4-DRI vs fasting for autophagy, circadian rhythm eating for women, HGH for post-menopausal belly fat, and R maintenance dosing.
