John couldn't tie his own shoes. His daughter offered to do it for him.

That moment changed everything.

He went from 300 lbs to pro bodybuilder at 50—losing almost 100 lbs the hard way before ever touching a peptide.

Then he discovered the research space... and made every beginner mistake so you don't have to.

In this episode, we cover:

The Mistakes → The $130 oral BPC purchase that did nothing (no COA, wrong delivery method) → Taking MOTC and NAD right before bed and wondering why he couldn't sleep → Why most people buy first and research later—backwards

The Lessons → 6 months of research before his first real purchase → Why "up your dose" is almost never the answer → The woman who stalled on Retta—fixed by adding electrolytes, not milligrams → Timing is the most overlooked part of any protocol

The Mindset → Environment controls cravings more than any peptide → The frozen candy bar trick that actually works → Why the first 6-8 weeks make or break your habits

John now helps others avoid the same pitfalls through his coaching at Tac Nutrition. This conversation is a masterclass in doing things the right way.

Grateful to
