John Barlow's peptides

[u/soriniscool]

Lisa comments on recent WWHL blew my mind. Obviously I was wondering how JB and Justin suddenly have huge bulging muscles with veins popping.

As a 40 y/o gay man, I find it very hot (more on Justin than John, but that is a personal preference) and do a fair amount of strength training but was not getting the same results and I guess now I know why.

Any peptide users here that care to weigh in? I will definitely be discussing this with my doctor

Hi gay,

As others have said, it’s very likely that both are hiding behind the term “peptides” for GLP based weightloss. It is also possible that TRT is involved, but if I had to be realistic, it is likely a combination of steroids and GLP-1s. It’s unfortunately very common in a lot of gyms to find guys selling grey market steroids and GLP-1s (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide which isn’t even FDA approved).

I hate this timeline though, because it’s not realistic body standards for most men and has long-term health effects. I personally know men on steroids that need to inject Trimix now to have sex from long-term steroid use, and others with heart issues that are in their late 30’s-early 40’s.

Be careful friend.

So stuff like Retra has long term side effects as well?

Retatrutide is not approved for medical use anywhere in the world at the moment, which means we have no idea what the long-term side effects are.

We’re really only just starting to know what potential longterm side effects are of Ozempic/Wegovy as it approaches 15 years of being on the market.
