Testosterone Therapy — Creams vs Pellets vs Injections
Testosterone Therapy — Creams vs Pellets vs Injections The simple truth (no marketing, no hype) I get this question constantly: “What’s the best way to take testosterone?” Creams? Pellets? Shots? Here’s the straight answer: The delivery method matters just as much as the dose. Most people choose based on convenience… not results. Creams / Gels Easy. No needles. Daily. But: - inconsistent absorption - fluctuating levels - can transfer to spouse/kids - often under-dosed Fine for mild symptoms. Rarely great for true optimization. Most people feel “a little better”… not great. Pellets Inserted every few months. Sounds convenient, but: - minor procedure - dose is locked in - spike early, crash late - if it’s wrong, you’re stuck Good marketing. Poor control. I rarely see pellets dialed in perfectly. Injections Simple. Affordable. Adjustable. Clinically? Gold standard. - stable levels - easy to fine-tune - fewer side effects - better energy - better body composition - better performance Small, frequent doses = steady and predictable. Hormones hate spikes. They love consistency. Biggest mistake people make It’s not what form you use. It’s how often you dose. Big shot every 2 weeks → rollercoaster Smaller 2–3x/week → smooth and stable Stability wins every time. My take after years of doing this Creams → convenience Pellets → hands-off Injections → optimization If you want real results — strength, leanness, mental clarity, steady energy — injections almost always outperform. And remember Testosterone isn’t magic. If you don’t fix: - sleep - lifting - protein - inflammation - insulin sensitivity Nothing works well. TRT amplifies good habits. It doesn’t replace them. Bottom line: This isn’t about “anti-aging.” It’s about feeling strong, clear, and capable at any age. Dose smart. Stay consistent. Do it right.

SS-31 and the benefits
Starting SS-31 or MOTS-C? Read This Before You Panic.
I want to share something real quick for anyone starting mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 or MOTS-C, because a few people have asked me why they felt a little “off” the first couple of days. Here’s the truth: Not everyone feels this, but some people do, and there’s a reason behind it. These peptides don’t work like stimulants. They aren’t giving you a fake energy spike. They’re working at the actual cellular level, shifting how your mitochondria create and manage energy. Dr. Seeds teaches this better than anyone, when you improve the cell, the system follows. And sometimes, when you start improving the cell, your body needs a minute to adjust. So yes… the first day or two, you might feel tired, shaky, warm, a little off, or like your body is “resetting.” That doesn’t mean something’s wrong. It usually just means your metabolism and your mitochondria are switching gears. Think of it like upgrading the engine in a car, there’s a moment where the system recalibrates before it starts running cleaner, smoother, and with more efficiency. Most people who feel this notice it passes quickly. Hydration, electrolytes, not dosing completely fasted, and taking it slow the first couple days make a huge difference. Again, this isn’t medical advice, and everyone responds differently. But I want you aware of it so you’re not surprised if it happens. We’re using educational research based on Dr. Seeds’ work to help you understand what’s going on inside the body, not to diagnose or treat anything. Just to keep you informed so you can recognize what’s normal when the body starts to optimize at the cellular level. If you’ve felt this “starting phase,” or if you’ve noticed the shift once your system stabilizes, drop your experience below. The more we share, the more everyone learns.

Great information Travis!!
What they are and what they do!
Peptides are tiny pieces of proteins that your body uses to send messages between cells. They help tell your body when to repair tissue, build muscle, make hormones, or calm down inflammation. Think of them like text messages your cells send to each other to get things done. Different peptides can help with healing injuries, improving skin, boosting energy, or supporting overall health. They work naturally with your body because they act just like the signals your body already uses every day.

If I was to ask you what do you think they do and how do they work what would you tell me?
