Hey all! I hope you're having a great weekend so far. I want to share some exciting new updates with you. What's new: 1) I have set up a partnership with Give Legacy- one of the best modern fertility & testing solutions in our space. For those who are aiming to conceive and would like in-depth testing on their sperm without having to go into a clinic- this is an awesome at-home alternative. They also have storage solutions and STI testing available, along with LGBTQ+ support, and all of it without the hassle. See an example report below of a semen analysis + sperm DNA fragmentation test. If you're interested in the available tests, use this link here and reach out to me: https://www.givelegacy.com/partners/stscwholesale 2) I have created a Compound Dose Calculator and Protocol Builder on my website for you & your audience to use- free of charge. All you need to do is enter in your email once you navigate to the link on my website (www.setthestandard.net) and you'll find it there. The goal is to continue building out this resource to include more peptides and other valuable data we all use - please give me your feedback on this! 3) I am officially a Gorilla Mind Athlete! VERY excited about this and haven't announced it publicly yet- but will once I have product in hand to create more content. Why I'm stoked: It's created by none other than MPMD (Derek) who is an authority in the space we operate in. He takes great care in formulations and I respect his vision and all the value he's provided for people like us. Not to mention, without him- I wouldn't have had the opportunity to work for one of the largest telemed companies & gain as much knowledge as I have. I will be posting favorite products and other info about the items there. Do you already buy products from there? Please use this link below or use my code (MAWSOME) at check-out for any items here. PLEASE let me know if you have questions about any of the products and I'd be happy to discuss:

Low-dose Doxepin. I want to do a real deep dive on this one, because it's quietly become the most impactful thing in my recovery stack, and if it worked this well for me I’m sure at least one of you would experience the same. If you've ever been handed trazodone, Ambien, or told to just take some ZQuil, this is the conversation nobody had with you. What it actually is Doxepin is an old tricyclic antidepressant. At standard antidepressant doses (25–150 mg) it's a messy drug — it hits serotonergic, adrenergic, and cholinergic receptors all at once. That's the full tricyclic profile, and it's why most people think of it as heavy. But at ultra-low doses (3–6 mg), it becomes a completely different molecule. Those other receptors go quiet. What's left is a clean, selective H1 (histamine) antagonist — roughly seven times more potent at H1 than the classic over-the-counter antihistamine everyone reaches for. So you get the sleep-maintenance benefit of blocking histamine without the anticholinergic baggage that wrecks sleep architecture. Why it's different from everything else you've tried This is the part that matters. It is not a sedative and not a Z-drug. - It's not for sleep onset. The signal is on staying asleep — maintenance — not knocking you out faster. - It doesn't bulldoze your sleep architecture the way sedatives and Z-drugs do. You keep the deep, restorative stages instead of getting sedated into a shallow imitation of sleep. That last point is the whole game, and it's why it matters for body composition (more below). What the clinical data shows This isn't bro-science. A crossover RCT of 67 adults with primary insomnia (Roth et al., SLEEP 2007) tested doxepin 1, 3, and 6 mg against placebo: - −23 min wake after sleep onset (WASO) - +25–29 min total sleep time - Sleep efficiency 81% → 87% at 6 mg - Final third of the night: 80% → 89% efficiency That final-third number is the tell. It holds your sleep together through the back half of the night, which is exactly where most people fall apart.

Here's a closer look at how this works as well as the gateway of fat loss that takes place, synergistically working with GH. Key pieces to note: ANGPTL 3/8 works independently from the LDLR unlike statins and unlike PCSK9i's. The mechanism in which this occurs specifically is through Endothelial Lipase release. ANGPTL 3/8 Suppresses EL. When in a fed state, ANGPTL 3/8 is high. This suppresses EL and inhibits it from hydrolyzing phospholipids on HDL-c & LDL-c. When it's not suppressed, EL is activated and it processes VLDL remnants, therefore depleting the LDL-c precursor pool, ultimately reducing the amount of LDL-c. Again, this happens completely independently from the LDLR.
