I'd be really supportive (or at least interested) if you did talk about modern peptides and nutrition more.

While I'm in the business space now, I did get a huge kick out of studying nutritional anthropology (what did humans eat in the past? the optimal human diet?)

which then got me into researching modern nutrition and its downfalls (there may be thousands of unknown nutrients modern nutritional study doesnt account for? the shitty way nutrition studies are often conducted? massive amounts of public doubt in govt safety institutions due to being compromised like the FDA was during aspartame approval? The way all the successful fad diets actually address different stages of mitochondrial damage and no one diet is the most effective? the whole ultra processed foods thing?)

Which lastly got me into sketchy reddit forums and other communities doing self-experimentation with peptides.

I'm no type that's brave enough to order mystery dust from chinese suppliers, but I've seen some amazing anecdotes from people with these peptides.

Thomas DeLauer admits to trying them out, MOTS-C looks groundbreaking, and retatrutide is actually INSANE.

we've seen it improve eGFR results in kidney disease patients. kidney disease is widely thought of to be chronic and always lead to eventual failure, with blood markers showing speed of progression, not improvement. so for reta to improve those markers is crazy. It has huge implications for the kidney transplant and dialysis industry.... and thats just one example!

There are actually a few self-experimentators on substack with paid newsletters showing anecdotal results with nutrition and peptides( exfatloss, etc) since people can't wait for modern science to catch up with these seemingly groundbreaking peptide compounds.

There seems to be a niche but growing audience for them so let us know definitely if you come out with any interesting thoughts on it

Lol mystery dust, true. These are all great. It’s stuff I geek out about as well and often find myself on weird parts of the internet like we all did 10 years ago.

I have a lot I can share and some great connections in the space that can help round out my thoughts if they’re incomplete.

It’s such a huge part of business and life in general.

Thanks for reading Laila and thank you for the comment. I’ll start to incorporate it :)

Hey Dan. I have a very strong and often very frustrating gripe with your work. With both your youtube videos and sometimes your writing pieces, I almost always 1/3 of the way in forget why I am watching/reading. You take (in my insignificant opinion) waaaaay to long to get to the actual value, of why i came here to watch or read of listen. I mostly end up giving up but sometimes i do go back and read the title to remember why i bothered to click.

I only say this because i believe in your work, I DO think there is great wisdom in what you share, and i think my constructive criticism will help you further your social media business. Your titles are great, they get me to click, but its getting to a point where i think - “ooo this sounds interesting I’ll click on i- oh wait, i always end up leaving midway, theres no point watching”

Maybe my attention span is the problem, but i seem to be able to watch other people’s educational/wisdom pilled content just fine. I can listen or watch a modern wisdom podcast or a 1hr 30+ alex hormozi stage lecture just fine.

I love how personal this letter is!

You really should do more of this, Dan.

Also, a YouTube channel dedicated to your fitness journey?

Hell yeah!

Knew you were into fitness, Dan, but didn’t realize you truly geeked out on it. I suspected that may be the case when you posted your 5 year transformation pic (really impressive by the way….I’ve been a fan of your writing and products for a few years, so when you posted that photo I felt more inspired to reach my fitness goals than I have in about 15 years obsessing about this stuff).

Thanks for sharing this, I also like to experiment risk:reward style, and am curious if you have recommended sources for these (disclaimer: I’m at work and haven’t checked your google doc yet)

Appreciate this Dan. More of this.

One thing I want to add about Reta is that it decreases cue-driven compulsive behaviors (see studies on cocaine, alcohol, etc) by working on your reward pathways. This helps with keeping focus as well, especially with our digitally addicted brains. I just wrote about this on substack too but figured it fit with your article.

Appreciate you man.
