217. More Fat Loss, Less Muscle Loss? This Peptide Could Change the Game
Is GLP-2s the next level in fat loss or just another excuse to skip the work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the most advanced GLP peptide on the market right now. You’ll learn how this dual-action compound hits both GLP-1s and GIP receptors to accelerate fat loss, crush hunger, and improve metabolic function faster than older GLP-1s. I walk you through the real-world results my clients are seeing: 15 to 22 percent bodyweight drops, better blood sugar control, and renewed energy. But I also pull back the curtain on the downsides. Nausea. Gut issues. Muscle loss. All of it can happen. You’ll discover how to use GLP-2s the right way. I also share a powerful transformation story from a friend who dropped over 130 pounds and built a physique he never thought possible. This episode gives you the tools to use modern science as fuel for your transformation, not a crutch to avoid effort. Listen now. Apply what you learn. And stop messing around. We Also Discuss: 01:27: How GLP-2s work: dual agonist targeting GLP-1s and GIP 03:46: Why GLP-2s outperform GLP-1s in fat loss and blood sugar control 05:52: GLP-2s vs GLP-1s: side-by-side comparison of results and side effects 08:26: The non-negotiables: training, diet, and recovery on GLP peptides 12:41: Real transformation: how one client lost 130 lbs and built muscle Thank You To our Sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs https://biostacklabs.com/kris BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off https://bioptimizers.com/ Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred

216. The Truth About Ozempic, Muscle Loss & Metabolic Damage
Are GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro the future of fat loss, or just another excuse to skip the hard work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the truth behind the hype. These drugs were made for managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetics, but now they’re being abused as quick fixes by people who refuse to lift, eat real food, or build discipline. I explain exactly how GLP-1s work, how they suppress appetite, regulate insulin, slow gastric emptying, and why that means absolutely nothing if you’re not strength training or hitting your protein targets. You’ll learn the science-backed risks: loss of lean muscle mass, slower metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, and long-term hormonal disruption. I also cover the hidden benefits no one’s talking about, visceral fat reduction, neuroprotection, and dopamine rewiring, and why those only matter if you’re treating the drug as a catalyst, not a crutch. If you’re using GLP-1s and not building real habits, you’re just renting results. This episode will show you how to make them work with your training, not instead of it. Listen up, this one’s essential. I Also Discuss: (00:01) Ozempic Isn’t Magic—It’s Metabolic Warfare (03:38) Why GLP-1s Won’t Save You If You Don’t Train (05:07) The Muscle Mass Trap No One Warns You About (11:20) How GLP-1s Trick You Into Skipping the Work (17:09) The Price You’ll Pay If You Don’t Plan Life After the Drug Thank You For our Sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs https://biostacklabs.com/kris BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off https://bioptimizers.com/ Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred

215. 7 Peptides You Need to Know About to Get Shredded
Are you stuck at a fat loss plateau despite perfect diet and training? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the peptide protocols that changed everything - no fluff, just the compounds that actually work for stubborn fat, metabolic plateaus, and body recomposition. I've been using peptides since 2017, starting with the Wolverine stack for injury recovery. Now I'm getting flooded with questions about fat-burning peptides, and rightfully so - these compounds are showing serious promise when used correctly. You'll learn the mechanisms behind AOD9604, 5-amino-1-MQ, SLUPP332, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, tesofensine, and CJC-1295. I explain how these peptides increase lipolysis, prevent fat storage, suppress appetite, and enhance insulin sensitivity. Listen in for the clinical evidence, safety protocols, blood work requirements, and why these aren't magic bullets. Let’s get into it. I Also Discuss: (00:41) My First Peptide Stack and Why I Started Using Them (02:58) What Peptides Are and Why They're So Powerful for Fat Loss (05:24) AOD9604: The Pure Fat Loss Agent That Targets Only Adipose Tissue (07:19) 5-Amino-1-MQ: The Game Changer for Metabolic Plateaus (09:42) SLUPP332: The Exercise Mimetic That Browns Your Fat (11:42) Tesamorelin: The Visceral Fat Assassin for Dangerous Belly Fat (13:06) Ipamorelin: Precision GH Catalyst for Muscle Preservation (14:36) Tesofensin: The Appetite Annihilator for Cravings and Binge Eating (15:44) CJC-1295: Enhanced Lipolysis and Metabolic Rate Boost (18:18) Critical Safety Protocols and Blood Work Requirements Thank you to our sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs https://biostacklabs.com/kris BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off https://bioptimizers.com/ Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin

213. The Sugar Diet Exposed: Why Shredded Influencers Are Dead Wrong About This Dangerous Trend
Think you can eat candy all day and stay lean? Think again. This "sugar diet" trend flooding social media is misleading millions - and I'm calling it out. In this episode, I expose why muscular influencers promoting high-sugar diets are dangerously misleading the average person. These enhanced athletes with decades of training and superior metabolic flexibility aren't representative of you. I'll break down what actually happens when you consume massive amounts of sugar: chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, gut dysfunction, nutrient depletion, and addiction-level cravings. Yes, calories matter - but sugar destroys your performance and health from the inside out. You'll learn why blood sugar crashes kill your training, how sugar fuels systemic inflammation that blocks fat loss, and the documented long-term consequences including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. Ready for the truth about sugar and sustainable body composition? Stop following dangerous trends and start prioritizing real health.
