Big Pharma Isn't Always Bad

Hey!

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you probably know that I have a…well, less than charitable view of the pharmaceutical industry.

To put it mildly.

And not just because a lot of the medications that they pump out are ineffective, unnecessary, or even downright harmful….

It’s also because they actively work to SUPPRESS many of the agents and therapies I’m so passionate about promoting.

Peptides, small molecules, stem cell therapies - Big Pharma desperately does NOT want them available to the public.

Why?

Uh…cause they work!

And not only do they work, but they’re incredibly difficult to patent.

Which is where Pharma makes most of its money.

And since that would be very, VERY bad for business, this is an industry that does everything in its power to keep these underground therapies underground (and yes, that includes using three-letter agencies like the FDA to do their bidding).

But, as the old saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

And that’s certainly true in the case of Pharma.

Because love or hate them (and I’ve made it clear where I stand), they knock it out of the park every so often.

Once in a blue moon, this industry comes out with products that heal, extend lifespan, improve quality of life, and are…

Well, quite extraordinary. 

So, in the spirit of giving the devil his due, today's email will discuss three breakthroughs provided by pharmaceutical companies that I personally use and highly recommend you check out yourself.

GLP-1 Peptides

You knew this was gonna be on here.

What can I say - semaglutide (Novo Nordisk), tirzepatide, and retatrutide (Eli Lily) are absolute 🔥 

They crush appetite, they destroy cravings, they improve insulin sensitivity, they’re anti-addictive…

And that’s just what we know about them so far.

So I’m certainly not going to let the fact that pharma somehow managed to find a way to patent these peptides - and is getting filthy rich off of them - stop me from using them.

But the best part?

You can source them from research companies like BioLongevity Labs.

SGLT-2 Inhibitors

You guys know I’m pretty measured in how I talk about things.

Except for therapeutic testosterone, it’s pretty rare for me to claim that EVERYONE should consider something (and even in the case of testosterone, I can think of exceptions).

But I’m willing to make an exception for SGLT2 inhibitors.

Not only are they some of the most groundbreaking drugs in modern medicine, but they’re also among the most versatile.

Used in the context of an optimized lifestyle, they can:

✅ Improve glucose regulation by excreting excess sugar through urine

✅ Lower blood sugar levels without risking hypoglycemia

✅ Support healthy weight loss

✅ Lower blood pressure

✅ Reduce cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes or metabolic dysfunction

✅ Potentially improve kidney health

And a host of other incredible benefits.

Check out my most recent video on them:

Cialis

Cialis is not just for erectile dysfunction!

Sure, it works great for ED.

And yes, it absolutely will produce harder, stronger, longer-lasting erections (the use case it’s best known for)

But what most guys don’t realize is that PDE5 inhibitors like tadalafil were initially studied for blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

And they have a whole host of benefits that go WAY beyond better boners, including:

✅ Enhanced cognition

✅ Improved endothelial function

✅ Cardioprotection

✅ Life extension (men on Cialis have been shown to live longer)

✅ Better pumps in the gym (they increase blood flow EVERYWHERE)

Definitely something I’ll always have in my arsenal.

Now, before I close out, I have a bit of a warning for you…

While I’m more than willing to be fair and give the pharmaceutical industry its due for developing these agents, I do not always recommend using their products as THEY recommend.

Because if you do, you’ll very quickly find yourself in a position where you’re mainlining 20 mg/day of tadalafil and 20 mg/week of tirzepatide in a desperate attempt to maintain their effectiveness.

And on top of that, you won’t even get the most bang for your buck out of it.
