episode NAD+ EXPLAINED: Why It Works for Some (and Not Others) + Best Mitochondria Sequence cover

Description

NAD+ for energy and focus, emphasizing that it helps some people quickly—usually within the first week—while others may feel nothing because they aren’t depleted, so taking more or longer may not help. He describes NAD+ as providing smooth, cellular-level energy and improved sharpness rather than stimulant-like effects, and suggests cycling mitochondria-related compounds due to diminishing returns and possible overstimulation. He outlines a preferred sequence of SS-31 and MOTS-c (alternating) followed by NAD+, noting NAD+ is typically not a long cycle and can pair well with “5 amino.” He advises testing with a small bottle before buying more, listening to body signals, and reintroducing when benefits fade, and he shares resources, memberships, discounts, and ways to message him directly. 00:00 NAD Plus Overview 01:10 Resources and Platforms 03:07 Academy and Discounts 05:01 Why NAD Varies 06:20 Mitochondria Stack Explained 09:11 Cycling and Timing 11:34 Testing and Depletion Signs 3:47 New Normal and Cycling 15:24 Wrap Up and Contact  Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.

SHOCKING Truth: Why Fast Weight Loss Leaves You Unhappy (Fix Body Composition, Keep Muscle, Burn Fat Fast)

Jon Andersen explains why losing weight too fast often leaves people unhappy because they drop pounds without improving body composition, ending up smaller but still dissatisfied. He argues against starving in a severe calorie deficit since it can burn both fat and muscle, and emphasizes losing fat while preserving or gaining muscle. He outlines an approach built around peptides and PEDs plus TRT support, highlighting “Retta” (a GLP-3) to reduce appetite and food-driven dopamine behaviors and increase fat-burning energy, and adding mitochondrial support (SS-31, MotC, and NAD in sequence) to improve cellular output and fat oxidation. For added muscle gain, he discusses secretagogues, IGF-1 LR3, and/or growth hormone. He also stresses recovery—adequate sleep, managing overtraining, naps if needed—and simple nutrition basics like consistent protein intake and water to avoid stubborn fat and sustain progress. 00:00 Fast Weight Loss Trap 01:13 Why The Scale Lies 02:33 My Background And Method 03:53 Flat Earth Diet Myths 05:50 What We Will Cover 06:15 Stop Starving Yourself 08:04 Retta For Appetite Control 12:11 Retta Benefits And Warnings 13:49 Mitochondria Boost Stack 18:22 Muscle Building Peptides 20:01 TRT Basics For Fat Loss 22:24 Recovery Burns More Fat 25:33 Sleep And Protein Basics 29:28 Putting It All Together 30:00 Wrap Up And Next Steps Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.

episode SHOCKING 3-Step Peptide Protocol for Bedroom Performance (Cialis + PT-141 + Oxytocin) artwork

SHOCKING 3-Step Peptide Protocol for Bedroom Performance (Cialis + PT-141 + Oxytocin)

Three-step, non-medical-advice protocol he says improves male sexual performance and can also help nighttime slow urination linked to prostate swelling. Step one is using a vasodilator—preferably Cialis/tadalafil over Viagra—for blood flow and potential prostate-related urine-flow benefits, noting dose may matter and Viagra can cause headaches/visual effects. Step two adds PT-141 to “flip the switch” for arousal, emphasizing careful titration because subcutaneous dosing can cause nausea or feeling unwell, while a nasal spray is easier to manage. Step three uses oxytocin to improve emotional connection and help maintain erections, warning that subcutaneous dosing can cause GI urgency while nasal spray is gentler Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

SHOCKING Summer Lean Stack: 3 Peptide Protocols to Torch Fat, Boost Energy & Keep Muscle | SS-31 + MOTS-c + Tesamorelin + Reta

A 54-year-old peptide protocol coach shares a non-medical, research-based roadmap for getting lean for summer using three peptide “families” in a specific sequence for faster, more noticeable progress. First, he recommends improving cellular/mitochondrial efficiency by alternating SS-31 (tune-up) with MOTS-c (turbo) to increase energy and overall performance. Second, he suggests adding nighttime growth-hormone secretagogues focused on visceral fat, led by Tesamorelin and paired by rotating Ipamorelin and CJC (no DAC), to improve recovery, sleep, and fat oxidation. Third, he recommends the GLP triple-agonist “Reta” over semaglutide and tirzepatide to promote fat loss while still allowing eating, supporting stable energy and metabolic function Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

Insomnia Fix: The Sleep Recovery Secret Killing Your Gains (Peptides, TRT & Mindset)

Jon Andersen explains that poor sleep and insomnia undermine training by preventing recovery, causing a downward trend in strength, fat loss, energy, focus, drive, and sex drive. He frames progress as a cycle of breakdown and rebuilding past a neutral baseline, emphasizing that sleep is the most important form of recovery. He shares his experience as a 54-year-old former pro strongman, wrestler, and bodybuilder, notes this is not medical advice, and points viewers to resources and consultation links. For peptides, he highlights Epitalon taken right before bed (with dosage titration) and sometimes D-SIP for sleep, plus BPC-157/TB for lowering inflammation that can block relaxation Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

SECRET Advanced Peptide Protocol Stack: Jon Andersen’s High-Level PEP System (Healing, Mitochondria, GH, Brain, Fat Loss)

Jon Andersen shares his high-level, advanced peptide (PEP) approach and explains that real results come from stacking and sequencing peptides by body system for synergy rather than chasing hype or a single “magic” solution. He outlines key groupings: “healers” (BPC-157, TB500, GHK-CU, KPV) to support regeneration Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivation-with-jon-andersen--6120173/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].
