- How to read an insulin syringe: 30, 50 and 100 unitsEach unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 mL. How to read the lines on 30, 50 and 100 unit barrels, what to do between two lines, and the 8 or 80 slip.6 min read
- How to convert mg to units for a peptide or GLP-1 vialThe same dose can be 10 units from one vial and 50 from another. How to find the strength on your label, turn mg into units, and check a new vial first.5 min read
- Why a weekly GLP-1 shot can feel weaker by day 5A weekly GLP-1 shot peaks 1 to 3 days after you take it, then fades until the next. What the half-life means, what a levels chart shows, and how to log hunger.5 min read
- GLP-1 side effects by shot day: how to track themGLP-1 side effects can land on the same days each week. What to log, how to find your own pattern, and the signs that need a call to your doctor now.5 min read
- Does injection site matter for GLP-1 shots?What the labels and a tirzepatide injection-site study found for belly, thigh and upper arm shots, why your log may show a left-right gap, and how to rotate.5 min read
- How long to see results from peptides, and how to tellApproved peptides like tirzepatide have label timelines, and many research peptides have none yet. How long results take, and how to tell from your own log.5 min read

All the lessons
Part 1 · 5 lessons · 23 min
Foundations
What peptides are, how they actually work, the six categories you will encounter, and the three-tier safety model that determines how much you can trust any given compound.
Part 2 · 6 lessons · 28 min
Sourcing & COAs
The $30 that saves you $500 in mistakes. How to read a certificate of analysis, the five red flags that should end a purchase, an eight-point scorecard for vetting any supplier, what a blend name hides, and the objection FDA keeps making that nobody repeats.
Part 3 · 4 lessons · 18 min
Reconstitution & storage
The eight steps that turn powder into a usable vial, the arithmetic that turns milligrams into syringe units, the storage matrix, and the three-second mistakes that ruin a $70 vial.
Part 4 · 3 lessons · 11 min
Injection technique & rotation
The mechanics of a subcutaneous injection, the eight-zone rotation system, why lipodystrophy is the thing rotation exists to prevent, and how to dispose of sharps properly.
Part 5 · 7 lessons · 29 min
Running a protocol
Baseline bloodwork before the first dose, one compound at a time, tracking the three things that actually matter, what happens when real life interrupts with a missed dose, a moved one, running out or a drink, and knowing in advance what would make you stop.
Part 6 · 4 lessons · 17 min
Stacking, honestly
The least evidence-based part of the entire field, handled as such. Four principles, a two-compound ceiling, an eight-week phase framework, and the combinations to avoid.
Part 7 · 3 lessons · 12 min
Reading the evidence
The four evidence tiers and what each actually means, why "preclinical" is a weaker word than it sounds, and how to read a claim without either believing it or dismissing it reflexively.
