216. The Truth About Ozempic, Muscle Loss & Metabolic Damage
17 Jul 2025
00:22:49
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:

215. 7 Peptides You Need to Know About to Get Shredded
10 Jul 2025
00:25:25
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.

206. Adam Gethin: Are Your Supplements a Waste of Money? Here’s What ACTUALLY Works
20 Mar 2025
01:06:39
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.

205. Stop Guessing! Q&A on Peptides, Nutrition & Training Mistakes
06 Mar 2025
00:30:25
Today’s episode is a Q&A, and I’m tackling your biggest questions on training, nutrition, and longevity, no fluff, just real, actionable answers. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or just want to make sure you’re doing everything right, this episode is for you.
A lot of guys are training hard but still not seeing the results you should. Maybe your testosterone is tanked, your recovery is trash, or you’re wasting time cycling supplements you don’t even need. I’m breaking down what actually works, how to optimize your hormones, whether creatine cycling is legit or BS, which peptides are worth your money, and how to stay dialed in with your diet no matter what life throws at you.
I’ll also cover why most guys are sabotaging their testosterone levels without realizing it, the biggest mistakes in creatine supplementation, how to cut through the noise and build a nutrition plan that actually works for you, and why peptides aren’t the magic muscle builders people think they are (but can still be a powerful tool if used correctly.)
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing your approach and start applying strategies that actually deliver results, hit play now!

204. You’re Wasting Gains If You Ignore These 5 Hacks
13 Feb 2025
00:26:18
Lifting heavy and eating big isn’t enough, if you’re not optimizing recovery, hormones, and performance, you’re making this way harder than it needs to be. Most people train their asses off but completely ignore the science-backed biohacks that can take muscle growth to the next level. You can keep guessing, or you can start working smarter.
In this episode, I’m giving you 5 next-level muscle-building biohacks that I’ve personally tested and refined over years of training, coaching, and biohacking my own body. Tracking blood glucose to maximize carb uptake, sleep and HRV monitoring to dial in recovery, red light therapy for testosterone optimization, it’s all here. These aren’t gimmicks, they’re real strategies that give you the edge.
I’ll also break down why your training intensity is useless if your recovery is trash, how cold exposure can skyrocket testosterone, and why ignoring blood and DNA testing is keeping you from unlocking your full potential.
You want to build serious muscle? Then stop guessing and start applying what actually works. Tap in, take notes, and let’s get to work.

203. Stress, Distractions, and Chaos—How to Stay on Track No Matter What
06 Feb 2025
00:43:12
You can train hard, stay disciplined, and push your limits, but if your environment, stress levels, and daily routine aren’t dialed in, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Most people focus on workouts and nutrition but completely ignore the biggest factor in long-term success: their surroundings.
In this episode, Sibylle and I are recording from Tulum, where we’ve been setting up our second home…and let’s just say, it hasn’t been smooth sailing. We’re talking about the challenges of inefficiency, the stress of unpredictability, and how distractions can wreck your ability to stay consistent. I’ll break down why your environment dictates your results, how to build resilience when things don’t go as planned, and why efficiency is the ultimate performance hack.
We’re also sharing details on our April retreat, where we’re bringing together top experts in fitness, biohacking, and longevity for an immersive experience designed to level up your health and performance. Plus, we’ll clear up the confusion about my departure from Kaged Muscle and why we’re building something even bigger.
If you’re serious about upgrading your mindset, training, and results, this episode is a must-listen.
No excuses, tap in and get to work!
