Fat Loss Doesn’t Have to Mean Energy Loss
Plus a long-awaited update to the Peptide Cheat Sheet
Happy Wednesday!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I last sent out an email, so please forgive me if today’s is a bit lengthy.
About three weeks ago, my YouTube channel was deleted without warning.
It was a gut punch.
But instead of letting it derail me, I’ve spent the past few weeks rebuilding.
The good news? I’m in the process of uploading all my videos to a private Dropbox cloud, where you can watch them for free.
My goal is to make sure you always have access to cutting-edge peptide and longevity education, without worrying about big tech pulling the plug.
Now, on to today’s email.
A few months ago, I sent out an email where I shared how I experimented on myself with a research blend of NAD+, 5-Amino-1MQ, and MOTS-c.
The results blew me away.
I dropped fat faster than usual, but instead of feeling flat or tired, I actually felt more energetic.
My recovery was better, my focus sharper, and more importantly, it helped Taylor and me keep our energy high after the stress of planning and executing our wedding.
I even made a video about it on my now-deleted YouTube channel.
You can actually watch that video here for free on Dropbox.
Well, things have come a long way since I first started mixing this at home, and I have a very cool update on this peptide blend today.
FYI, until Friday September 19th at Midnight PST, BioLongevity Labs is offering 20% OFF SHRED, SHREDX, MetaShred, 5-Amino-1MQ & NAD+/MOTS-C/5-Amino-1MQ.
Use code HUNTERW to get an additional 15% off as well!
Fat Loss ≠ Energy Loss
When most people go on a fat loss journey, they also experience massive energy loss.
Calorie restriction, carb cutting, and hard training all put a tremendous load on the body.
It’s why so many dieters report constant fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and a lack of motivation.
When energy intake decreases, mitochondrial efficiency often declines, NAD+ levels decrease, and inflammatory pathways become activated.
In plain English, your cells can’t keep up.
However, what if instead of your body slowing down, you could support the cellular engines that keep your energy output high?
What if you could lose fat while preserving muscle and feeling sharper every single day?
That’s the core premise of the NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ Blend.
It’s a world-first stable formulation designed to make fat loss and energy optimization work together, not against each other.
NAD+
The first key ingredient is NAD+ (100 mg per bottle), one of the most important molecules in the human body.
NAD+ is required for over 500 enzymatic reactions, including mitochondrial ATP production, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation.
Yet NAD+ declines with age and with caloric stress (exactly the state most people are in when they diet).
In preclinical models, restoring NAD+ improved glucose tolerance by up to 40%, enhanced mitochondrial function by nearly 30%, and even improved cardiac performance in aging models (Tarragó 2018).
Another study found NAD+ improved cognition and reduced neuroinflammation by 25–35% markers in the brain (Zhao 2021).
And alterations in NAD+ metabolism have been directly tied to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic decline (Okabe 2019).
By supporting NAD+ levels during fat loss, you’re essentially refueling the cellular “batteries” that keep your energy high.
Instead of burning out when calories drop, your cells keep humming along.
MOTS-c
The second component is MOTS-c (10 mg per bottle), a mitochondria-derived peptide discovered only in 2015.
MOTS-c acts as a messenger that tells your nucleus how to adapt under metabolic stress.
Its biggest superpower? AMPK activation (the same pathway turned on by fasting and exercise).
In a landmark study, MOTS-c treatment improved insulin sensitivity and reduced fat gain by up to 35% in diet-induced obesity models (Lee 2015).
Another trial showed MOTS-c improved skeletal muscle glucose uptake and prevented ovariectomy-induced metabolic dysfunction, reducing fat accumulation by 20–30% (Lu 2019).
At the cellular level, MOTS-c directly regulates antioxidant and metabolic genes, thereby improving stress resilience (Kim 2018).
In short, MOTS-c works like a built-in exercise mimetic, helping your cells respond to metabolic stress without crashing.
When combined with NAD+, you’re simultaneously fueling the energy supply and flipping the metabolic switch.
5-Amino-1MQ
The third ingredient is 5-Amino-1MQ (10 mg per bottle), a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT.
Why does that matter?
NNMT consumes NAD+ precursors and disrupts methylation balance, which accelerates fat storage and cellular aging.
By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ frees up NAD+ inside cells and shifts metabolism toward fat burning.
In fact, preclinical data shows it can increase intracellular NAD+ by 20–60% in adipocytes (Conlon 2022).
In obesity models, NNMT inhibition reduced white adipose tissue mass by nearly 30% and improved metabolic function, without reducing food intake (Liu 2021).
And in oncology research, 5-Amino-1MQ’s modulation of histone methylation has shown significant tumor-suppressive effects (Li 2022).
For fat loss, this means you’re directly reducing the metabolic blockages that normally slow weight loss.
And unlike harsh stimulants, 5-Amino-1MQ works at the cellular level, giving you a leaner, more efficient metabolic engine.
Why Most People Feel Exhausted on Diets
Let’s zoom out for a second.
Why do so many people feel drained, moody, or downright miserable when trying to lose weight?
The answer comes down to cellular energy deficits.
Traditional diets cut fuel without addressing the fact that your mitochondria are already under stress.
NAD+ is depleted, AMPK signaling is inconsistent, and NNMT activity is unchecked.
Put simply, your cells are running out of gas.
That’s why most fat loss regimens lead to fatigue.
You’re asking your body to burn more calories and recover from workouts while simultaneously giving it fewer raw materials to do the job.
It’s like trying to drive across the country on half a tank of gas and worn-down tires.
The NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ blend flips that script.
Instead of draining your energy systems, it restores and optimizes them.
The result is fat loss without the crash.
Energy without the burnout.
And perhaps most importantly, metabolic health without the usual trade-offs.
World-First Formulation
BioLongevity Labs is the first company in the world to formulate NAD+, MOTS-c, and 5-Amino-1MQ in a stable, research-ready blend.
These compounds have been studied extensively on their own, but no one has brought them together in a way that researchers can access easily.
They solved the stability and delivery challenges so you can now explore the combined power of these pathways in one formula.
Where your energy rises, your brain sharpens, and your body thrives as fat comes off.
How to Reconstitute & Use the Blend
Now, let’s get practical because I know many of you like clear, step-by-step instructions for experimentation.
Here’s how I’ve been using the NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ blend in my own regimen:
Reconstitution: Add 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to your vial. This provides the ideal concentration for consistent dosing.
Dosing: Draw up 0.1 ml (10 units) to 0.2 ml (20 units) and inject subcutaneously.
Timing: Best results come when you take it first thing in the morning, before cardio or training, in a fasted state.
Frequency: Use 3–4 times per week to optimize energy, fat oxidation, and mitochondrial performance.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve ever struggled with the low energy, brain fog, or lack of motivation that often comes with dieting, this is your chance to change the game.
The NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ Blend from BioLongevity Labs is now available…and you can get it at a discount.
For a limited time, they’re offering 20% off, and when you use the code HUNTERW at checkout, you’ll save an additional 15%.
This is an opportunity to try the same stack that I personally tested and wrote about months ago, with life-changing results.
Don’t let fatigue sabotage your fat loss journey.
Support your body, fuel your mitochondria, and experience what it’s like to lose fat while gaining energy.
Best,
Hunter Williams,
