The Godfather of Peptides: Trevor Kruder | Iron Perspective 71

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham sits down with Trevor Kruder founder of Alpha Bio Med Labs and the man who was manufacturing and using peptides over a decade before most people had ever heard the word. This is the full story: how a torn bicep, a forward-thinking friend, and a deep obsession with human performance led Trevor to build one of the most advanced peptide research and manufacturing operations in the world. Trevor opens up about discovering peptides 12 years ago when there was virtually no information available, reading Russian studies, flying to conferences in Europe, and spending years teaching doctors one at a time absorbing 29 rejections a day just to find the one person willing to listen. He breaks down what it actually takes to manufacture peptides the right way, why most people have no idea what's in the bottle they're buying, and why he's never stopped reinvesting every dollar back into the science. He also shares one of the most powerful stories you'll hear how he yanked his mom out of a hospital after doctors sent her home to die, and used everything he'd built to bring her back from 80 pounds and two days to live. Three rounds of cancer. Still alive today. This episode is about purpose, legacy, risk, and what happens when a man refuses to accept what the system tells him is possible.

The Power of a Father: A Conversation with My Dad | Iron Perspective 70

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham sits down with the man who made him who he is his father, Randy Denham. This one is personal, raw, and unlike anything JD has put out before. It's a conversation about fathers, sons, addiction, faith, and the quiet but unmistakable power a man carries that his children will either run from or stand upon when life gets hard. Randy Denham spent the majority of his career running homes for abused children kids abandoned, beaten, and broken by the very people who were supposed to love them most. JD grew up watching his father pull people off the side of the road, sit for 12 hours with a traumatized child just to make her feel safe, and wake up every single morning before the sun to read his Bible alone in a dimly lit room. That was the foundation and JD had no idea how much he was absorbing until the night he was kicking heroin in his dad's house and realized the only strength he had left to stand on was his father's. This episode covers all of it the years of no contact, the phone calls parents dread at 2am, the moment Randy kicked his son out and meant it, and the 714 number that rang one January morning in 2011. It's a conversation about what it means to hold a boundary when your child's life is on the line, why faith is the only thing that gets a parent through it, and why the job of a father isn't to be his son's friend it's to be the rock his family stands on when everything else falls apart. If you're a father, a son, or someone trying to break a cycle this episode is for you.

JD shares how listening to Joe tell that exact story in a gym changed everything for him too.
