Collarbone shocks viewers after detailing testosterone-rich drug routine
In the interview, Peters listed several substances he regularly uses to pursue the look he wants. These include 220 mg of testosterone, used to increase muscle mass and bone density, and 12 mg of retarglutide, an experimental weight loss drug. He also mentioned Melanotan 2, which darkens skin tone without sun exposure.The influencer describes his daily life as part of a wider lifestyle experiment focusing on appearance and mental performance.“I don’t just do biohacking in the context of maximizing appearance,” he adds. “I’m also a cognitive maximizer, so I have a very fine-tuned nootropic stack.”In addition to testosterone and retarglutide, Peters said he also takes melatonin, L-glutathione, NAD+, Anavar, Accutane and nebivolol. While he described the protocol as a calculated, optimized system, doctors warned that mixing so many substances could be dangerous.Doctor Suzanne Wylie urged caution about this growing trend in an interview with LADbible.“The bottom line from a health perspective is that combining multiple medications, especially outside medical supervision, carries an extremely high risk of serious short- and long-term harm,” she explained.She also warns that hormone-altering drugs and stimulants can interact unpredictably.“Even if people think they are just trying to ‘optimize’ their bodies, combinations of these substances, especially stimulants and hormone-altering drugs, can interact in unpredictable and dangerous ways, affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, brain and endocrine system.”Wylie added that people trying such stacks should pause before jumping on a viral internet trend.She added: “Self-administering a cocktail of performance enhancers, stimulants and research chemicals in pursuit of an ideal appearance is not only medically unsafe but can have lifelong consequences for physical and mental health.”
