The Kris Gethin Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Are GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro the future of fat loss, or just another excuse to skip the hard work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the truth behind the hype. These drugs were made for managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetics, but now they’re being abused as quick fixes by people who refuse to lift, eat real food, or build discipline.

I explain exactly how GLP-1s work, how they suppress appetite, regulate insulin, slow gastric emptying, and why that means absolutely nothing if you’re not strength training or hitting your protein targets. 

You’ll learn the science-backed risks: loss of lean muscle mass, slower metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, and long-term hormonal disruption. I also cover the hidden benefits no one’s talking about, visceral fat reduction, neuroprotection, and dopamine rewiring, and why those only matter if you’re treating the drug as a catalyst, not a crutch. If you’re using GLP-1s and not building real habits, you’re just renting results. This episode will show you how to make them work with your training, not instead of it. 

Listen up, this one’s essential.

I Also Discuss:

(00:01) Ozempic Isn’t Magic—It’s Metabolic Warfare
(03:38) Why GLP-1s Won’t Save You If You Don’t Train

(05:07) The Muscle Mass Trap No One Warns You About

(11:20) How GLP-1s Trick You Into Skipping the Work

(17:09) The Price You’ll Pay If You Don’t Plan Life After the Drug

Are you stuck at a fat loss plateau despite perfect diet and training? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the peptide protocols that changed everything - no fluff, just the compounds that actually work for stubborn fat, metabolic plateaus, and body recomposition.

I've been using peptides since 2017, starting with the Wolverine stack for injury recovery. Now I'm getting flooded with questions about fat-burning peptides, and rightfully so - these compounds are showing serious promise when used correctly.

You'll learn the mechanisms behind AOD9604, 5-amino-1-MQ, SLUPP332, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, tesofensine, and CJC-1295. I explain how these peptides increase lipolysis, prevent fat storage, suppress appetite, and enhance insulin sensitivity.

Listen in for the clinical evidence, safety protocols, blood work requirements, and why these aren't magic bullets. Let’s get into it.

I Also Discuss:

(00:41) My First Peptide Stack and Why I Started Using Them 

(02:58) What Peptides Are and Why They're So Powerful for Fat Loss

(05:24) AOD9604: The Pure Fat Loss Agent That Targets Only Adipose Tissue 

(07:19) 5-Amino-1-MQ: The Game Changer for Metabolic Plateaus 

(09:42) SLUPP332: The Exercise Mimetic That Browns Your Fat 

(11:42) Tesamorelin: The Visceral Fat Assassin for Dangerous Belly Fat 

(13:06) Ipamorelin: Precision GH Catalyst for Muscle Preservation 

(14:36) Tesofensin: The Appetite Annihilator for Cravings and Binge Eating

Most supplement brands are all hype, under-dosed, overpriced, and packed with fillers. Biostack Labs is different. In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Adam Gethin to talk about the science behind real health optimization, the future of supplementation, and why most people are wasting their money on garbage formulas that don’t deliver results.

We’re breaking down how NAD+ impacts aging, why blood sugar regulation is the key to metabolic health, and the top supplements every serious athlete should be using.

I’ll also cover why NAD IVs are a waste of time (and money), the best way to boost glutathione for immune defense, how inflammation wrecks your gains (and how to fight it), and why metabolic health should be your #1 priority for longevity.

Adam Gethin is the founder of Biostack Labs, a brand redefining the supplement industry with research-backed formulas designed for longevity, recovery, and peak performance. With a background in coaching, content creation, and digital marketing, Adam has worked with some of the biggest names in fitness, helping brands and athletes optimize their approach to health and performance.

This week we have a special in depth episode with building biologist Brian Hoyer recorded after Brian inspected Kris' house for excessive EMF.  Brian's goal is to help people eliminate unnecessary stressors from their homes to improve their sleep, recovery and energy.  The amount of EMF radiation from appliances, poor electrical wiring and tech is at an all time high which is why it is imperative to take steps to limit your exposure as much as possible especially when you sleep. 

Join us on YouTube for the extended version of this podcast as Brian and Kris inspect Kris' home.
