I haven't done a step-by-step in a while, so we are gonna go ahead and do that for you guys today.

If you're new to your GLP-1 journey, whether you just started or you're about to start, this is the exact jab day routine you need to follow to mitigate side effects.

Even among the gray market peptides, like the most popular peptides are in the GLP category.

So it's either GLP-1s or it's GLP-2s terzepatide, or increasingly most common in the communities I spoke with was retatrutide, which is a GLP-3.

It's the sort of next generation weight loss drug that's even more effective and is still in phase three human clinical trials, but that people expect will get FDA approval.

And yeah, basically like, I remember I saw this tweet that was like,

oh, it's so funny how Chinese peptides hit San Francisco and then everyone developed self-control at the same time.

Or another woman was telling me she's on one of the GLPs and she is a startup founder.

And she said, I noticed all of a sudden that in all of these launch videos I'm watching, none of the founders are overweight anymore.

And I started to feel self-conscious about my own weight.

And so she ended up getting on Reddit TrueTight as well through gray market sources.

So the podcasts, the sub-sacs, the blogs, the forums, a lot of these exploded in popularity during a time when people were really scared about their health, where they felt like they were getting inconsistent information or what they perceived to be misinformation from official sources.

And so it led to this flourishing of an all-medicine ecosystem.

So some of the same people who were ivermectin guys are now becoming peptide guys.

I was listening to my very first episode of the Truth podcast by Vivek Ramaswamy, where he was podcasting with Balaji Srinivasan, who was the Coinbase CTO and a very influential investor and executive in Silicon Valley, who at one point was being considered for FDA commissioner.

And Balaji and Vivek were, you know, talking about their frustrations with the FDA, with the way that COVID was handled, because even if people believed in vaccines, I think there's a lot of controversy in Silicon Valley around slow approvals or school shutdowns and things like that.

And there's this great line that Balaji said that was like, just like the SEC is trying to keep you from getting wealthy,

the FDA is trying to keep you from getting healthy.

I thought that was like hilarious because there is this mindset that sort of developed that our regulatory institutions are actually trying to keep the little guys down.

And that's why you need these like crypto guys on podcasts to tell you what to buy to get rich.
