Hey guys, I am currently Very Dependent on Xanax I only take 1mg at night for insomnia, if I don’t have it my anxiety goes through the roof. Has anyone experienced any peps that help with anxiety? I would love to get off of Xanax. I do plan on talking to my primary about it also.

Pls tell me how you all are getting your protein in after a night with food poisoning. I tried but couldn’t eat anything at all yesterday. I made a protein shake. Opened a bag of quest protein chips. Ezekiel toast. Crackers. Couldn’t even think about eggs or cottage cheese. I’d eat or drink one or two and just couldn’t.

So next month id like to do some type of group challenge... id also like to like to post training content and more video. Id love feedback on what you guys wanna see.

Here are my 3 goals for the week: 128 ounces of water every day. So, first thing in the morning, I need to drink my first 33 ounces before I even have my coffee. 10k steps every day! To help with this, I'll either do a live from the treadmill or take a 10-minute walk every 90 minutes while I'm working. No skipping meals! I've got my fuel meals at home and at the house I'm remodeling, plus I have alarms set for when it's time to eat. I'm back on track, so this is super important. What I've learned as a trainer and as a person is that we're more likely to stick with our goals if we tell a friend or a group like this that will help us positively with accountability! Let's kick today's ass and this week's ass!

Brenipatide is a new incretin-based peptide in development by Eli Lilly and Company. It works on the same general pathways as tirzepatide and retatrutide, targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors. That part isn’t exciting. What’s different is what they’re trying to use it for. This isn’t just being looked at for fat loss or blood sugar. It’s being studied for things like alcohol cravings, smoking relapse, and even opioid-related behavior. That should tell you right away this isn’t just about eating less. This is about how the brain handles reward. Most people think GLP-1 equals appetite suppression. That’s surface level. The deeper layer is that these pathways interact with dopamine and reward signaling. That’s why some people on these compounds lose interest in food, alcohol, even certain habits. Brenipatide is being pushed further into that lane. So instead of thinking “this helps you eat less,” think “this might help you want less.” That’s a completely different conversation. Now here’s the reality. This is still in research. No real protocols, no long-term outcome data, and no clear idea yet where it will land compared to something like tirzepatide or retatrutide. So this isn’t something you should be chasing. But it is something to watch. Because if it does what they’re hoping, this class of peptides stops being just about fat loss and starts becoming about controlling cravings, habits, and behaviors at a much deeper level. That’s where things get interesting.
