This time of year hits everybody differently. Some people feel motivated. Some feel anxious or depressed. Some feel stuck. That’s life, it happens to all of us. But here’s what I keep thinking about as we head into a new year: We have more information at our fingertips than ever before. Google, YouTube, books, podcasts, courses, AI… You can learn anything you want in seconds. So why do most people still struggle? Why do so many people fall off their New Year’s resolutions? Why do we say “next year will be different” and then nothing actually changes? It’s not a lack of information anymore. It’s not a lack of resources. It’s not that you “don’t know what to do.” So what’s really stopping you? Your habits? Your environment? Your stress? Your beliefs? Your excuses? Your comfort zone? Your lack of consistency? Because let’s be honest: If information alone could change our lives, everyone would already be fit, successful, disciplined, confident, and exactly where they want to be. Information isn’t the problem. Application is. So look back at 2025 for a second: What didn’t happen for you? Where did you fall short? What did you avoid or put off? Where did you expect growth without taking the steps? Now ask yourself the real question: What’s going to change in 2026, and how are YOU going to change it? Not the world. Not other people. Not your circumstances. YOU... This next year is yours if you decide to step into it differently. Drop your answer below: What’s one thing you KNOW you need to change going into 2026?

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.

“My three peptides for someone over 40, who just wants to feel better. Here’s the truth… It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, once you hit 40, the same systems start slowing down: Energy, recovery, metabolism, sleep, mood, and inflammation. So if I had to give a universal starter foundation, these are the three that make the biggest impact for most people. Now, if you’ve had recent bloodwork done, you could dial in your top 3 peptides. 1. NAD — energy, mood, and cellular function 2. BPC-157 — inflammation, joints, gut, healing 3. CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin — sleep, recovery, confidence, fat loss And here’s what most people don’t realize… Men and women feel these peptides differently. Men notice faster recovery, better strength, and fat loss around the stomach. Women notice better sleep, mood stability, skin/hair benefits, and fat loss around the hips/thighs. Same peptides, different outcomes, because the hormone environment is different. But the top three don’t change. Everyone over 40 needs better energy, better repair, and a better recovery period. Now I want to hear from you: If you could fix ONE thing in your body right now — just one — what would it be? Energy? Mood? Sleep? Recovery? Inflammation? Confidence? Drop it in the comments. This is where the real education starts, because your answers tell me exactly how to lead this group. — Travis

I want to break something down today because a lot of people in here are brand new to this world, and that’s totally fine. That’s why we built this community. Peptides are just one piece of the pie. They’re a newer piece for most people, but they’ve actually been around a long time. And here’s the part most people don’t realize: A peptide is just a protein your body already makes. Yeah, the ones we study are synthetic, but they’re designed to mimic something your body already uses every single day. That’s what makes peptides so interesting: they line up with your biology instead of fighting against it. Dr. Seeds talks a lot about this in his work, and he’s right: peptides are just signaling molecules your body naturally understands. But here’s the truth most people miss: Peptides don’t replace the basics. They enhance them. You get the real benefit when the whole picture is working together: – You’re training consistently – You’re eating like an adult (not perfect, just intentional) – You’re getting your steps in – You’re taking care of your relationships – You’re keeping your stress under control – You’re doing things that support your mental health – You’re building an environment that doesn’t work against you When those things line up, your body responds differently. Everything hits harder. Everything works better. That’s when the magic kicks in. People say, “The way you do one thing is the way you do all things.” I don’t know if that’s fully true, but I do believe we all have areas that need attention. And if you’ve got goals you wanted to finish this year, goals you set last year and still haven’t knocked out, this is the time to dial in. Your mental supports your physical. Your physical supports your mental. And both of those support every other part of your life. And look, life ebbs and flows. We’re going to have good days, bad days, tired days, and days where everything clicks. That’s normal. But if you stay consistent, not perfect, just consistent, with your workouts, your food, your mindset, your cardio, your stress management, and whatever peptides you’re learning about…
