This weekend marks a very special milestone for me. A year ago on Sunday, I celebrated reaching my goal weight — something I never thought I’d be able to say. That night was capped off with dinner surrounded by family and a few close friends. What I didn’t realize then was that it wasn’t just an ending — it was the beginning. Around that time, the idea for BHPP was born. I spent the next six months digging in: researching companies, learning where they sourced from, how they operated, and just as importantly, what not to do. Seeing the “bad players” in this space taught me lessons that were just as valuable as the wins. Fast forward to today — one full year later — and I couldn’t be more grateful. Grateful for this group, for those who’ve supported me, and for everyone who chose to follow along on this mission. We’re still in the building phase, but I’ve never felt more optimistic about where we’re headed. Most of my posts are focused on education or updates, but this one is simply to say thank you. Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for giving me the chance to try and help others experience the kind of transformation that changed my own life. Here’s to the past year — and to everything we’re building together in the years ahead. — Brad

I’m 59 years old, and the last two years nearly crushed me. Four knee surgeries. A vicious staph infection. Endless pain. On June 28, 2024, I went through yet another total knee replacement. The toll was brutal—not just on my body, but on my spirit. I wasn’t myself anymore. I felt defeated. Lost. Like a flaming dumpster fire that couldn’t be put out. What made it even harder was remembering who I used to be. Before this nightmare, I was training for a bodybuilding contest. I had purpose, strength, and drive. And suddenly, it was gone. But on June 1, 2024, I decided to fight back. I started my peptide journey—not from a place of strength, but from rock bottom. And in just 3 months (June 1 – September 5), here’s what’s changed: - 💪 Hormones Restored: Testosterone went from 123 → 1,484. - ⚖️ Weight Lost: 260 lbs → 225 lbs (down 35 lbs: 32 fat, 3 muscle). - 📏 Waist Trimmed: 42 in → 37 in (5 inches gone). - ❤️ Blood Sugar Reversed: A1C from 6.3 (pre-diabetic) → 5.4 (normal). - 💓 Blood Pressure Normalized: 148/89 → 120/80. - 🩺 Liver Health Restored: AST 56 → 33, ALT 83 → 39. These numbers aren’t just stats—they’re lifelines. Proof that I’m not done yet. Proof that you can rebuild, even when you feel like ashes. This is only the beginning of my comeback. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m no longer that dumpster fire. I’m rising. If you’re in the dark right now, hear me: you’re not broken forever. Your story isn’t over. The climb back is hard, but it’s worth every step.

Can a 15-minute steam make your growth hormone spike? Yes — but with caveats. Research suggests that a short sauna session (e.g. ~15 min at ~70–90 °C) can transiently increase growth hormone (GH) levels — in one study, rising from ~2 to ~5 µg/L in young men.  However, this increase is temporary, depends heavily on age, temperature, duration, and recovery cycles, and returns to baseline within a few hours.  The proposed mechanism — heat stress triggering heat shock proteins, hypothalamic signaling, and GH release — is plausible and partially supported, but not definitively proven in humans in all circumstances. If optimized (higher heat, repeated exposure, alternating with cooling), the GH boost might be larger — but evidence for dramatic or long-term hormonal effects is limited. GH does help with tissue repair, muscle retention, bone health, and body composition, but whether sauna-induced GH surges deliver meaningful benefit beyond traditional methods (training, diet, sleep) is still an open question. Using a sauna for recovery, relaxation, or performance support is reasonable — and occasional GH boosts are a potential bonus. But this isn’t a magic switch for hormones. Treat it as one helpful tool among many. Full Article: https://nordvikoutdoors.com/blogs/news/sauna-growth-hormone-study

Our last group buy (BPC-157 + TB-500 combo) was a success, and the testing results are now posted for full transparency. The more members we have involved, the stronger our buying power gets—so let’s decide what’s next. ⚖️ How it works: - Vote below for the peptide you’d like to see in the next group buy. - The top choice will be secured first. - Once results are in, pricing will be set based on group participation. - Testing will be available again so we all share the peace of mind.
