It says “grass-fed.” You think you’re getting the cleanest, most nutrient-rich protein possible. But here’s the truth: in the U.S., that label can mean almost nothing. Loopholes, grain finishing, inconsistent nutrient profiles, even hidden contaminants. And if you’re using that protein daily? You’re building your results on a shaky foundation.

I’ll show you exactly what I use, why I use it, and how to make sure your protein works with your health, not against it. No fillers. No hype. Just facts you can use to choose better, recover faster, and perform longer. Listen in. Then upgrade your protein.

In this episode, I break down 11 reasons your physique isn’t changing—even though you’re doing “everything right.” Trash protein quality. Chronic inflammation. Hormones out of whack.

218. GLP-3s: 5 Reasons Why More People Should Be Talking About This Peptide
Is GLP-3s the Next Evolution in Peptides? Here’s What You’re Not Hearing Everyone’s obsessed with GLP-1s like GLP-1. But what if there’s a better option with more benefits, fewer side effects, and real potential for body recomposition, brain health, and gut repair? It’s called GLP-3 peptides, also known as Retatrutide, and most people haven’t even heard of it yet. In this episode, I break down why GLP-1s aren’t the miracle drugs people think they are. They suppress appetite, yes, but at the cost of muscle mass, nutrient absorption, and long-term metabolic health. GLP-3s work differently. It improves gut integrity, boosts BDNF for brain performance, enhances metabolic flexibility, and reduces inflammation at the root. I also walk through how I use GLP-3s in client protocols, from microdosing to blood work analysis, and how it fits into a serious longevity strategy. If you care about more than just weight loss, this is the peptide you need to understand. Listen to the full breakdown. This one matters. We Also Discuss: (00:04) Why GLP-3s are the peptide nobody’s talking about, yet (03:52) What is GLP-3s and how it differs from GLP-1 (07:22) Gut health and healing leaky gut with GLP-3s (10:46) Brain health, BDNF, and cognitive benefits (20:35) GLP-3s for longevity, inflammation, and full-body optimization (24:00) Final thoughts, client protocols, and how to get started with GLP-3s Thank you to our sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs https://biostacklabs.com/kris BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off https://bioptimizers.com/ Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred
