I got a comment like this on an Instagram reel the other day.
“Greg, using Tirzepatide proves your system is bullshit.”
They have it backward.
The system is what transforms you. Tirzepatide just dials in appetite.
My free T is above the reference range naturally at single-digit body fat, with no performance-enhancing drugs.
That is the system. Who else has done this?
Tirzepatide just makes it more enjoyable to hit calories.
I have also been staying at 5.5% body fat (DEXA) for months.
Even with tirzepatide, this is incredibly impressive and hard to do.
The system is the best in class.
Tirzepatide just makes it even better, and it improves metabolic health.
“But you shouldn’t need a drug to help with appetite?”
You don’t. You can transform without tirzepatide.
Here’s a picture of me in spring of 2025, a year before taking Tirzepatide.
*I’ve proven I can achieve this physique without Tirzepatide.
The question is, do you want to use precious mental bandwidth just to hit calories and not go over?
Or do you want to hit GLP receptors with a low dose of tirzepatide and stop fighting appetite?
I’ve done both.
And I choose to hit GLP receptors every fkn time now.
“But if your program was good, you wouldn’t need to reduce your appetite?”
Not true. Humans vary widely in satiety signaling and appetite.
*I call it the “food monkey”. That constant background noise that follows you around, thinking about food when you’re in a calorie deficit.
Eating less and staying lean is hard.
And it’s precisely why my Irish ancestors survived through hard conditions.
We needed the ability to gain weight easily when food became available.
I cracked getting lean 10 years ago.
And I stayed very lean for a decade. But it requires focus and bandwidth, and I had to really lock in and eat the same foods.
Even then, I often got stuck because my appetite would shoot up when I got close to the goal.
Now with tirzepatide, I have way more freedom, and life is better.
People often forget I’ve been the real deal for over a decade.
I was teaching a different playbook, got bashed for it, and then watched the fitness industry copy-paste it and act like it was their idea.
The things that look obvious now are things I was teaching first…
- Pioneered fasting on YouTube fitness. Back then, everyone was bashing it.
- I taught low volume. Muscle is a byproduct of strength. Get strong on key lifts. Now everyone has agreed and admitted I was right.
- I taught bulking is bullshit and drives fat gain. Again, I was right.
- I taught fat loss is about finding the most enjoyable way to hit a deficit. Low carb and Keto is BS. Just hit the deficit.
- I showed you could eat great meals and get lean. Everyone thought I had to be super clean. I taught chocolate. Steak and potatoes, one of the most filling meals you can eat.
- I taught high step count. Back then, people thought walking was bullshit for fat loss.
And I showed proof.
Dexa scans, elite strength, and top transformations.
And I did it all lifting three times per week, eating out, and being a human being (tequila mhmm).
When Derek from “More Plates More Dates” challenged the fitness industry to do blood work, I flew to the US the next day and did a full blood panel. He reviewed it.
I have been real, and few in fitness can say the same.
And now all the fitness experts that were bashing GLP-1s have stopped. They realized I was right again.
Tirzepatide is incredible if used correctly.
And make no mistake.
Tirzepatide is a piece of the pie. An optional one.
It works when lifting is dialed, nutrition is solid, step count is solid, and the key supplements are in.
If you are struggling to lock in calories, the weight is stuck, and you are fighting appetite while trying to be a human being.
That is when tirzepatide is a game changer.
If you do not have those pieces dialed in, tirzepatide will not do much.
If lifting, food, and steps are already handled, I set up Kino Clinic for the appetite piece.
