“Honestly, I would give it to Elon Musk. And it's not because I think that he's hurting for a billion dollars right now. But if you look at what he is working on to accomplish for us as a human race, right? I truly believe from what I've seen that he has a similar heart for humanity that I've seen when a lot of physicians, but on a macro scale as an engineer and an entrepreneur. He's trying to solve some of the greatest problems that are facing us today. And I think that what we are going to see hopefully coming from the Terrafab down in Austin is going to be wild with recursive feedback and engineering on AI chips that are going to get better and better and better in a short period of time and increasing independence when it comes to chip foundries for the United States. It's wild. And I think that that billion dollars would go further and do more for more people than”

“Well, you know, this is what's interesting. If you look at in the United States right now, there are 30 million men with erectile dysfunction in the United States right now. That's more than the population of Australia, all right. And if you look at statistics, the oral medications are going to fail in 15 to 40 percent of those men the first time they fail that. And so you're talking about millions and millions of men who aren't responding to oral medications and need a better option.”

“At patient satisfaction, durability, concealability is this little thing that I do, which is what if we took our own tubes and we put them inside your body's natural ones. It's invisible. Nobody looking at you could ever tell her that you've ever had anything done. But all of a sudden, when you want to get an erection, instead of having to rely on pills that don't work or putting a needle in there, right? You could reach down and there's a small pump that we hide underneath the skin down in the scrotum. Okay, so I joke it's like a third testicle, but again, nothing external, nothing you can see. And all of a sudden, whenever you squeeze this, what it does is it moves saline that we hide in a little reservoir that goes in the belly. You never feel that into the cylinders. And all of a sudden...”

“What I would tell you is the good news is you don't have to. Okay. Like, that's what we have a job for, okay? But the way I explain it to patients is like this. So take this out of the picture, okay? Ultimately, like the male erection is just two inflatable tubes that start in the pelvis and go out the shaft of the penis. It makes sense, right? It is a hydraulic motion. What happens is you get stimulated, get a rush of blood into those tubes, get a ridection, able to use that for intimacy. And then when you climax, pop off valve opens back up and everything drains out. All right. So if you can understand brakes on a car, you can understand erections. But the problem is that when you have long-term metabolic and vascular dysfunction, the brake lines, the blood vessels that feed those erections, they fail. And all of a sudden, you can't get enough blood flow for it to work. And believe it or not, you can actually get atrophy of the penis over time and you actually lose size. All right, which no man is eager to see. All right. But whenever the easy things like oral medications, Viagra and CALS don't work anymore, the next best option if we're looking”

“Me, honestly, I think that we've gone pretty deep on peptides. And so I think we've covered that. But one thing that I did want to just leave with you, because I think it's pretty humorous. And I think you've talked to some of my colleagues about this before. But, you know, one of the things that I deal with as a surgical specialist is the end stage of vascular disease, the end stage of diabetes, which is going to be erectile dysfunction. All right. And believe it or not, whenever we're dealing with that in male patients, they eventually get to a point where things like Viagra and Cialis do not work. All right. And that is a dark place to be as a guy. And so you're taking these medications. All you're getting is a headache and nothing else. And then maybe you have other options. There are actually injections you can do in the penis.”

“That's the idea. There are some caveats in there. They're trying to say that only FDA approved medications can be used. Okay, so you couldn't use something like trend ballone, which is for veterinary use only, or theoretically any of the compounds we've talked about today because they're not FDA approved, but also at the same time, they've said that they're not going to test for those things. And one of their athletes, Magnuson, has openly admitted to taking BPC 157 and that sort of thing. So I think we can kind of figure out that it may just be a wide open playing field, maybe.”

“I do very well. So for those of you, or for those who may not know, the Enhanced Games is a project based off of the World Anti-Doping Agency's own data, potentially up to 40% of athletes that are competing at the Olympic level. either are currently using or have used banned substances at some point in time, all right? And also, we know that a lot of the compounds that are used for enhancement maybe aren't quite so dangerous if they're being administered by a trained medical professional with proper oversight. And as of right now, that's not happening. Also, at the same time, we know that Olympic athletes aren't paid enough, right? These are the best of the best of the best, and they're not even making the poverty line a lot of years. And so the idea is this. Well, what if we go ahead and we strip away those rules? We watch them very closely, and we have a team of doctors and medical professionals watching them.”

But you know what? I love taking care of my regular patients who are farmers, iron workers, tradesmen, guys that truthfully I have more in common with than anyone else. I joke with my patients. I'm just an over-educated plumber at the end of the day, right? Urologist. And so health is for everyone, not just for the fortunate.”

“Yeah, I mean. When I'm caring for my patients and I see a young man that is struggling with his fertility and he wants to be a father. I was that guy. Me and my wife couldn't get pregnant when we first tried. We ended up having to do in vitro fertilization at IVF. I remember feeling like I wasn't a man because I was sitting in that room holding her hand and not having an answer as to why things weren't working. When I see my patients who come in that are, you know, struggling because their hormones are out of whack and no matter how they try to take care of themselves, something just isn't clicking. I've been that guy. And then when I see my other patients that are further on in life and struggling with things like, you know, prostate cancer or erectile swimming, which the case may be, I see my father, my uncle, my grandfather. And they are someone's father, grandfather, an uncle. These are our brothers. And this is who I have been called to care for. And I care for my patients deeply. And it's because I care for my patients. And like this is a”

“Through the roof 24-7. I cannot even imagine what, you know, there's a part in the brain called the hippocampus that when they do MRIs on soldiers that come back from war, that'll be degenerated in them. I wonder if we did that in surgical trainees, what that would look like. But I made a commitment to take care of my patients, to take care of myself, and make that a priority, and to be simultaneously the best doctor and the best father and husband I could be. Not perfect, made a lot of mistakes along the way. But what you're seeing from five years ago is where I was, you know, I've been a training out for seven years, so it took a while to kind of recover from that. What you're seeing is, you know, what focusing on health and wellness can potentially look like.”

“I remember locking out of there, just being totally shattered, covered in blood, crying in a hallway by myself, wondering if what was the point? Like, is there going to be, is there a tomorrow after this? Like, I spent all this time in this training, like, am I good enough? Am I going to be able to make this? And, you know, I wasn't well put together, wasn't healthy, and I ended up spending a lot of time with that patient, literally held his hand throughout the rest of his hospital stay. And he ended up recovering and against all odds. But, you know, afterwards, I took a strong interest in not only taking care of my Practicing what I preach, taking care of myself, and prioritizing my own health. I got evaluated, I was diagnosed with low testosterone myself. Turns out not eating or sleeping for five years. I'll do a number on you.”

“And I went in the middle of the night with my attending, who was a different attending than the one I did the initial surgery with. And I remember just opening him up. Covered in blood that we were taking out of the abdominal field, that we were evacuating, eventually identifying the area of the bleed, and there was no way that it could have been avoided. I remember my attending yelling at me, and we ultimately had to take that guy's kidney.”

“And I remember being totally devastated towards the end of training. And I did a very challenging surgery on a very needy patient. Gentleman was about to go into renal failure, did not have a lot of kidney left, and he had a very challenging kidney tumor that was in a very treacherous location. It was in a location where he should have lost that kidney by all measure if we were going to take out that cancer. And he was at a county hospital. He had no insurance, you know, and we swung for the fences and did a very, very challenging operation on him. And against our best efforts with having everybody there, he ended up having a bleed postoperatively that night. And I remember getting the call. I was on call and that his blood pressure had dropped and that he did not look well and I knew exactly what it was because again, this was a very treacherous surgery.”

“So I will tell you this. Medical training In the United States, it's gotten better, but it is grueling, it is absolutely grueling. For five years I worked anywhere from eighty to one hundred hours a week in a hospital. No eating, very little sleep did not care for yourself at all. And again, we can argue whether or not that's necessary all day long. But the truth is that it really beat me down. It absolutely took me apart physically and psychologically. In part, it's designed to do that because the idea is that as a surgeon, you have to be able to perform when all the lights are on, when everything is against you, you have to be the one to hold it together in the operating room and command that ship and save that patient.”

“Yeah, so my specialty is this branch off of your urology that we broadly call men's health. And so what that incorporates for us is going to be low testosterone, advanced hormone management. I take that a little bit further than most people. That's totally cool. And then also erectile dysfunction, Peyrone's disease, which is damage to the penis that causes curvature. And then male fertility on top of that. And I do a little other thing, treating leakage after prostate cancer treatment. And that's basically it. I treat like five things maybe. And that's it. So I'm very, very specialized because I was the kid that, you know, like to take my sandwiches apart and eat it one at a time. I was very precise. And I figured, you know, you can do a lot of things in this world and be okay at them or you can pick like, I don't know, four or five and get pretty good at them. So that seemed to work for me.”

“Wild So ultimately, if you look at what are the ills that are affecting healthcare in any First World nation, the number one offender is metabolic disease and metabolic dysfunction. And this is something that was actually hinted at by RFK whenever he was talking about root cause of disease. Well, yes, we have many, many diseases and many, many infections that don't stem necessarily from insulin resistance. But if we look at cardiac disease, if we look at issues with lack of profusion, my specialty, erectile dysfunction, right? We look at cancer. All of this is related back to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. And so if we can eliminate that as a society or we can minimize it to as little as possible, well, I mean, man, maybe I'd finally work myself out of a job.”

Imagine if we had given that to him before he even got that obese when he just started to get a little bit overweight and at a lower dose. Well, he may have never ended up in my office, right? Because his primary care doctor would have identified that, treated it, and he never would have needed the specialist”

So the leading culprits are going to be, yes, microplastics and environmental toxins, okay, things that are put in our environment that we have been exposed to that we can't help. But again, the biggest modifiable risk factor is insulin resistance and metabolic disease.”

“Oh yeah, this is unfortunately our future if we're not careful So, what we've got here is we have three different canisters containing water that has a little bit of coloring in it. And what you can see is that all the way back in 1973, this is pretty opaque, all right? Like, you know, this is not what you would, you can't see through it. And then 2026 has a little bit of color to it. And then we've got over here 2045, which is totally clear. This unfortunately is actually representing the fertility trajectory for young men because what we're seeing is that back in 1973, total modal sperm count. So how many healthy swimming sperm do we have in each ejaculation is exponentially higher and more dense than what we're seeing today. And so what we're seeing is a progressive decline in male fertility over time. And that's been demonstrated in multiple studies. We've debated this at multiple meetings. People tried to argue that it's a measuring difference. But as we give it more time and as we give it more.”

That, you know, as of right now, the only peptides that I can prescribe are the ones you can get from CVS or Walgreens, which is going to be your GLP1 medications and a handful of others that usually aren't applying to the young men that I see in my practice.”

They'll pop a zen in their mouth and they'll try to tweak whatever variable they possibly can to get the best possible performance. And the thing is, is that anabolic steroids come with significant side effects? And that's not everybody's cup of tea, right? And the health consequences from high dose androgens dwarf anything that you might experience with peptides. And so peptides offer a lot of flexibility in pulling many different levers that are interesting to like your regular average person. And honestly, it requires a little bit of DIY right now because of the nature of these peptides. And I think you combine that with the kind of rogue founder spirit that is common in Silicon Valley.

“Hands down, it's that one over there, Retitrue Tide. Because the changes in body composition that we have seen, both in clinical trials and inequal reports from users who have obtained on their own are wild. We're talking losing 20 to 25% of total body weight within a relatively short period of time. And I think that this is going to be basically the Ferrari of GLP1 medications when it comes out. It's not for everybody, right? It's going to go faster than everything else, but it's going to change the game. I think this is going to be a trillion dollar drug when it comes out.”

But if you don't change anything else, well, you take that back out. Well, you're going to go back to where you were. And so if you're going to maintain that weight loss, you have to make lifestyle changes associated with that. And what we found is that people do regain, if they do make lifestyle changes, they do regain some of the weight, but not necessarily all of the weight. And there's also data showing that you could potentially stay on that medication but at a much lower dose and then maintain your weight. So there are options to minimize your medication burden long term.”

“So, what I will say is that think of peptides as falling into three categories, all right? You've got category one, which are peptides that you can prescribe right now legal from a commercial pharmacy. That includes the GLP wines, PT141, bremelanitide. I mentioned to you earlier, oxytocin is another one. We have these different compounds that are available. And then we have what we call category two. If we don't have anything in right now, but that will consist of the seven peptides that are hopefully going to be approved in July whenever they get moved from category two cannot compound to category one can compound. All right. And then everything else is kind of in this category three where it's only available for research use only. And so my recommendation for patients is don't go out and buy research use only compounds. You don't know what you're getting and you don't know if you're dosing it right. You don't know if it's contaminated. So really what the public should be doing is educating themselves on this and then going and talking to their doctors about what problems they have.”

So epithalon, the purpose of it is it works to enhance telomerase. So at the end of your cells, imagine it this way. You're trying to copy the genome, but the little copier that copies it takes up space in of itself. So it's kind of like it cuts off the last couple letters every single time.”

“Well, because if you take a little bit too much, you can actually get insulin resistance because your glucose levels will go too high for too long. All right. You've used too much for too long. You will actually get acromegaly. So that's development of your bones continue to grow, but not along only in certain junctures. And so there's a very specific look that bodybuilders who abuse growth hormone at high amounts will get to them, all right, which is an irreversible change to the facial bone structure. You can also theoretically, if you had a cancer, maybe it could make it worse. All right. We've never shown it that it causes new cancers, but that could be a concern. And on top of that, it could give you insulin resistance because, you know, you're, again, yeah, exactly, right? And if you take too much, it could potentially make your hands numb in the morning because you get a fusions into the joint space. And so bodybuilders will talk about lifting a dumbbell and having to drop it because their hand goes numb temporarily if they're taking too much growth hormone too soon.”

You would get a boost in your quality of your hair, your skin, nails. Theoretically, it would be easier for you to recover from injuries, hopefully put on a little bit more muscle, a little bit easier, maybe lose a little bit of fat.”

“And so there's a significant benefit in that regard. And so people want to boost their growth hormone, improves quality of skin, improves quality of hair and nails and that sort of thing. And so these two compounds together are particularly potent. CJC1295 being a growth hormone releasing hormone derivative. And then we have epimorin, which is a grellin receptor agonist. So again, release improving the release of growth hormone through two different synergistic mechanisms. And so that one is really, really interesting, or these two together. And then on top of that, so this one, somatotropin, another word for growth hormone. Okay, so this is growth hormone, okay? Just a different word for it.”

“So we've got these two here that I think are really interesting. So, CJC1295 and IPAMOLIN. So the whole idea is that can we stimulate growth hormone? And there's an interesting story behind that. Actually, growth hormone itself was very, very popular for many, many years as an anti-aging compound. But then we changed some laws here in 1990 that made it a little dicey to prescribe growth hormone. And also, you know, it's kind of a blunt instrument. We wanted something to stimulate more natural growth hormone release. So we have this entire class of medications called secretags that help stimulate natural growth hormone release. And these are two of the most potent ones that are often combined together.”

“I have not. I can honestly say I have not used Reta, but I find it fascinating though. It's absolutely wild. Talk about power to the people, right?”

“But they also get the best improvements we've ever seen in their liver health we've ever seen. And people have been buying that from research use only websites and using it for about two years now. And bodybuilders have already made this the standard in their protocol when it comes to cutting for a show. And it is wildly effective. And we're now seeing the population using a drug at scale that hasn't even made it through commercialization yet.”

“Correct, right? So GLP1 is the primary receptor that they work on. And what that will do is it slows gastric emptying and it limits caloric intake. All right. But then interzepatide, not semaglutide, but Trazepatide is a dual agonist. So it has effect on GIP, which is a different receptor. Retotrutide adds in glucagon receptor activation. And so believe it or not, your liver actually acts like a repository of energy where it stores glycogen and fat that your body can use as energy. But that's a problem, right? If you get too much fat there, if you have a caloric excess, then you could end up having what's called NASH cirrhosis, but non-alcoholic statohepatitis, basically inflammation of your liver due to accumulating too much fat. It's a problem. But by stimulating the glucagon receptor while simultaneously hitting GLP1 and GIP, what we found is not only do patients lose an incredible amount of weight,”

“Over here. We have to talk about this. Another really interesting thing that phenomenon that we've seen, right, is that now we've got all of these companies that are making these research use only compounds, right? It used to be that you would have a compound that's in drug development and you're seeing all the advertisements for it, you know, maybe if you follow these sorts of things like I do because I'm a nerd, right? You get excited about it, but you don't get access to it, right? Well, believe it or not, the next blockbuster drug that Lily is going to come out with probably in the next couple of months is this guy called Retitrutide, all right? And Retitrutide is fantastic in that it is the first three receptor agonist GLP1 drug. So the GLP1 drugs, okay, whenever you're talking about semaglutide and Trazepatide, they have slightly different profiles.”

“Finally, yeah, right? And it's wild. So there's actually, and there's even a derivative, a Melanitan 2, called PT141, Bremelanotide, that is a commercial product right now that you can write as a prescription, but that doesn't have the tanning benefit, but has the sexual benefits.”
