Starting with a rough clenbuterol experience, we discuss mistakes we’ve made and why “bioidentical” doesn’t automatically mean safe. Then we cover GH and insulin resistance, berberine and metformin for insulin sensitivity, every-other-day growth hormone dosing, and questions about the supply of pharmaceutical GH.

Plus, unusually high IGF-1 levels, Skip’s experience with Increlex, a listener physique critique, and some behind-the-scenes TV talk.
